“Erin did an amazing job caring for our kitten. She was attentive, friendly, and kind. She provided excellent care for our little kitty and even went out of her way to take care of her. We would highly recommend Erin for anyone else and would happily ask her to help support our kitten in the future if needed.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and every single one of them has had a piece of my heart! I presently have two senior dogs and one three-year old, who probably feels as passionately about dogs as I do! I have also lived with, loved, and taken care of several cats over the last 13 years. Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my family’s lizards and frogs. I presently am able to control my own schedule and can make myself available for any last-minute or unexpected pet care needs that you may have. Currently, my only blocked off time for certain is Wednesdays from 5:30pm-9:30pm In my home, I have a fenced in yard to ensure that outside time is safe and fun. If you do not have a fenced in space but are still looking for your pup to have some outdoor time, I always ensure a leash is used to keep them safe. I have successfully used components of behavior analysis to build trust and confidence in my own dogs, while also ensuring that I understand their own behavioral cues to prevent stress in new or different situations. This includes shaping behaviors, frequent reinforcement, and pairing with new dogs to demonstrate that I am a safe person in their environment. Should transportation ever need to occur, I have a seat belt that clips to any standard harness as well as a seat cover that prevents climbing over the center console. I have a number of 6-foot leashes as well as 2 30-foot leashes to allow for safe running in open spaces, and an expandable 10-foot leash.
“Ashleigh and John took fabulous care of our cats and were kind enough to extend a day when our travel plans changed. We were reassured through several photos and detailed notes of the visit. They managed to get our most senior cat to play :). We highly recommend!!!”
“Juniper is absolutely fabulous. So attentive to each of my dogs’ varying needs, communicates well, and is very punctual. I HIGHLY recommend using Juniper to care for your sweet fur babies.”
“Isak was great! He agreed to check on Darin with short notice, and communicated quickly. He followed instructions, treated our home with care and from the pictures he sent, it looks like Darin had a blast with him! ☺️”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!
“Colleen was fabulous for drop-in visits while we were away on vacation: super responsive, thorough communication, and affectionate with our cats. We’ll definitely book with Colleen again!”
“Mikayla took great care of our 2 furry family members while we were on vacation! I loved the updates and pictures. We will definitely request her services again and recommend her to our family and friends!”
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“This was our second time using Mai to watch our two cats and they did a stellar job. We were gone for a few weeks and I never worried about my 3 boys in Mai's care. They sent so many great photos and videos at every check-in and I could tell the cats were well taken care of. Thank you once again for the stellar care you gave to our fur babies!”
“Malia did a great job with Darin! She followed instructions, sent a lot of pics and notes. Husband came home to a happy pup, and our home was treated with care and respect. Would absolutely book her again!”
About: I have experience taking care of puppies of varying energy levels and senior arthritic dogs. I take instruction very seriously- if you emphasize reinforcing the dog’s training, that I will do. If you want the baby spoiled, I can do that too. I am currently without another job and out of school so I have a lot of free time, I can accept walks or play time with relatively short notice, I just can’t do early mornings because I wake up at 8-9 am. I can be very flexible to the client’s preferences. Anything I need for myself, I can bring with me and I will only enter parts of the home with explicit permission.
“Shareem was great with our 2 cats! They're usually hesitant around strangers but warmed up to her very quickly. She went above and beyond building a rapport and comforting them during fireworks. We will definitely look to hire Shareem again!”
“I found Ella at the last minute and so thankful! I appreciated the constant communication as she sent me pics at each visit with an update. Ella was so patient with Smokey Joe as it does take him a few days to warm to people. She also helped with meds. I will definitely reach out to Ella in the future to care for Smokey!”
“Zania is an exceptional dog keeper! She’s so thoughtful about my boy SAMSON! He wasn’t feeling his best today and she took all the right precautions and some. Thank you so much.”
“Alexis is the best!! I was so impressed with how many pictures she sent us after each visit and it certainly warmed my heart to see how much my pet adored her. I will certainly be booking in the future. Thank you Alexis for everything you did!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
Lisseth did a wonderful job with my two cats. She sent photos, wrote detailed updates, and both of my cats warmed to her immediately. I could tell from the photos that they were comfortable with her. It's always tough leaving my pets when I leave town, but Lisseth made me feel a lot better because I knew someone who cared was with them. I'm always nervous that my cats will get outside, but Lisseth was very attentive and made sure our wonky door was closed and locked behind her. I'd highly recommend Lisseth!
Rachel gave great care to my cats! I was out of town for an extended period of time and she did extra things like bring in my mail when it accumulated, which was greatly appreciated. She showed up on time and left detailed report cards. I feel comfortable that they received wonderful care while I was out of town and am grateful to Rachel for providing it.
Erin did an amazing job caring for our kitten. She was attentive, friendly, and kind. She provided excellent care for our little kitty and even went out of her way to take care of her. We would highly recommend Erin for anyone else and would happily ask her to help support our kitten in the future if needed.
Emily watched our two cats for a week, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Between a sick baby at home, a few last-minute schedule changes, and me accidentally mixing up the dates, I definitely didn't make things easy on her. Through it all, Emily was incredibly professional, understanding, flexible, and communicative. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our two girls while we were away. She kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind, and treated our home with the same care she gave our pets. We came home to two happy cats and a house that was exactly as we had left it. We would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Selfishly, I almost don't want to recommend her because I'd like her to be available for our next trip! 😊
I’ve had a great experience with Maya! Both of my cats are very anxious and easily frightened, but she was incredibly patient and attentive with them. She made sure they were eating, comfortable, and well cared for during every visit. I especially appreciated the photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cats and took the time to earn their trust. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.
Alyra was great! I accidentally had the wrong address associated with my Rover account. Alyra promptly sent me a message notifying me of this error and went to the other (correct) address. Luna was so spoiled by Alyra! I got photos after every visit and Alyra was very communicative about my little girl!
Omari was too good with our home and our two cats. She has a great bedside manner and sense of empathy which is the main trait you need to love animals and help them feel safe and loved. She followed our instructions and made our cats feel like their routine was unchanged. She is very kind and patient and proactive. You’d be glad to have her availability! Thanks Ormari!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
