“I’m so glad we found Maddy! She assured me that my precious old gal was fully integrated into their family throughout the stay. I very much look forward to using Maddy again.”
“Denise is kind and caring. She has taken great care of our little Terrier and always updated us as well while we were away. Thank you Denise! We so very much appreciate you!”
“Kelli and Justin and their kids are wonderful. I couldn't have asked for better people to care for Our Stella girl for the weekend. Kelli and Justin was understanding in dealing with Stella’s anxiety about being away from home. They kept us posted and sent pictures on how Stella was doing, which helped us relax. They took Stella on walks and gave lots of love and playtime which I know Stella really enjoyed her stay. Thank you so much.”
“Puka looked happy, shiny, and healthy when I returned home from vacation! A big thank you to Amy for sending photos every day of Puka in cozy, comfy places and for brushing her. I trusted Amy and her family to treat Puka like one of their own and would definitely book with them again! 🥰”
About: I have spent my life as a pet owner and I like to treat everyone's animals the way I would like mine to be treated. I have, at one time or another, owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, snakes, rats, goats, horses, and chickens and am comfortable caring for many more. I know this site is mostly limited to dog and cat care, but I'm happy to pet sit anything. I am happy to care for pets either in my home or in yours and I'm very flexible regarding my schedule. Every day I care for my own household animals, and I'm more than capable of taking care of plenty more. My animals include 3 dogs of varying sizes, two cats, a parrot, and an aquatic turtle. Though I have plenty of experience with other animals as well. I'm happy to either host animals in my home or venture to pets in their own homes. I believe that my job in caring for a person's pets is to adhere to their wishes for their pets. I want to follow the expectations set for any individual animal. I love to lavish animals with love and affection, but that isn't the right approach for every animal and I need to respect the wishes of their humans within the scope of safety.
“Cecelia watched our dog Hobbes, and it seems he enjoyed his stay! She sent pictures of him to update us, and he had the run of her back yard. Would definitely recommend Cecelia!”
“We could not be happier with our experience with Susie! We most certainly have found our pup's vacation mommy! We were nervous! We normally travel with our dog, and this was the first time she was ever overnight/away from us, but Susie made us feel completely confident and secure! She listened to all of our concerns, and communicated well to ensure to us she understood and would follow through with our directions. She sent multiple pics, videos and texts daily keeping us updated, and her attraction for our little girl was evident. We knew she was in good, loving hands, with plenty of care and attention. She even administered medication for us. When we picked up our little girl, it was clear she felt right at home! I would highly recommend Susie, and I will most certainly use her again! THANK YOU SUSIE FOR EVERYTHING! ...I think Dandeline misses you! : )”
“A huge thank you to Tessa and Tyler for watching our doggos. We loved getting the pictures and videos of them while we were away. They are so tired after playing. We ended up being a little late to pick them up due to traffic, and Tessa and Tyler were very accommodating and understanding. For anyone who needs a wonderful family and home for their dog to stay, we highly recommend them!”
“Briar had another fantastic visit at Tracy’s house while we were out of town for the weekend. Just like before, our pup came home happy, tired, and was very well taken care of! Thank you so much for being so kind and dependable!!”
“Shelby did an awesome job! Went above and beyond and sent so many pictures. We have a husky and she brushed out her undercoat without being asked. Would definitely rebook with her again :)”
“Valerie took great care of my Perdi. She sent daily pictures of my girl playing with other dogs and just enjoying life. The setup Valerie has is great and I felt very comfortable leaving Perdi there. I will definitely board with her again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Caleb to everyone! At our meet and greet, he asked a ton of questions about my pup, Atticus, and took notes of his needs and habits. Atticus is a very itchy boy and the fact that he came home without any hotspots is a testament to Caleb's attentiveness to care. Given the opportunity, I would not hestitate to book with Caleb again. He's also a great dog photographer, to say the least!”
About: Hello! My name is Chris, and I would love to be your dog's best friend while you are away :) When I first adopted my dog, Wilson, he was a challenge--very roudy, not house trained, and high energy! With lots of patience, training, and love, he has developed into the most mature and calm pup. My friends routinely comment that he seems like a totally new dog. I believe all he needed was a stable and loving home. As such, I have experience training, administering pills and medicine, and identifying / helping with ailments if they crop up. If your pup has any of these needs, I can help! I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I’m current a graduate student with a very flexible schedule. I can make sure that your pet will never be alone for more than a few hours at a time. I have a sweet 5 year old black lab who will be your fur baby’s best friend. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, and can take them out for potty as frequently as needed. I live near a large park which is great for walks and nature time for your pup.
About: I am an avid lover of animals and take my treatment of them to heart. I can keep your pup or kitty very happy and very healthy. My last old guy was a diabetic with a thyroid condition for the last 8 years of his life (2 insulin shots a day. 2 thyroid pills a day.) I’m very comfortable with giving medicine or shots to any animal. That includes emergency situations or routine management for the fur babies. My schedule is very flexible right now. I’m available most every day except for special occasions. I have a routine cancellation policy, but I’m pretty chill. I have a big fenced yard with beautiful grass and lots of things to smell. My house is single story with lots of open space for zoomies.
“We left our dog with the Ruthie for four days and we couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver! She was very warm and welcoming we could tell right away that she has a genuine love for dogs. She also understands dog behavior and knows how to connect with them. She sent updates with adorable photos and fun descriptions of the daily activities. When we picked up our dog, he was relaxed and happy. We will definitely be seeking out Ruthie again in the future!”
“Julie and her family were the perfect fit for my 1 year old Cane Corso pup, Nova. We did a meet and greet and Nova was at home with them right away. Nova was well taken care of the entire stay and was happy in all the updates. She got plenty of love, walks, play, and snuggling while she was with Julie. I'll definitely be a return customer. 😁 Thank you Julie & co.”
“My dog had a great time with Cameron and her dog Bo. I was updated daily on the fun they were having. She treated my dog like part of the family. We will definitely use Cameron in the future.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
99% of sitters in Lancaster can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lancaster home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lancaster.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lancaster. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lancaster sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
