“This was the first time using Rover… Vicky was absolutely a dream. My dog’s loved her family and her little girl Nova! (her dog) slept with my little Frenchie all night she kept me updated on what they ate and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog’s for the first time with someone new…. I will be definitely be leaving my dogs with her and her family again!”
“10 Stars for Betsy and Ron who provide the best home away from home for our Coco! We're so happy to have had her there multiple times now, so she knows that this is her happy place when we are away. So many thanks to them for the field trips, the walks, the play and the love they give her!”
“Our very energetic golden doodle came back to us happy and tired. We loved getting the updates of her hanging with friends and enjoying herself. We will be back to hang with this great family again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life! Mostly Pits, but comfortable caring for any breed, big or small. I have experience with trained and untrained dogs, hyper puppies, and senior dogs that need a little more patience than most. I also have experience caring for dogs that suffer from Tonic-Clonic (grand mal) seizures. I can also administer medication if needed. Rover is a part time job that also doubles as experience under my belt considering i’m going to school to become a vet technician. Personally pet care has always been apart of my daily life including cat care: feeding, enrichment, cleaning all bowls and liter box daily, bonding time(cuddles), even practicing tricks! (my cat can sit, spin, and go up on her hind feet all for a treat). Dog care includes: walking, feeding, outdoor and indoor enrichment, bathing, brushing etc. Im comfortable with pets in my home and also going to the clients home. I have 3 main areas in my home that I utilize for pet care. my finished basement which includes 2 separate rooms and a full bathroom, my backyard which is fully fenced with no grass. Lastly, the attic floor which includes my bedroom. If your pet is more hyper, I’d care for them in the basement since it has more space for zoomies and playing with toys. If your furbaby is more lazy and chill, we can relax in my bedroom!
“Julie is awesome! I felt at peace leaving our pup with her. She is very caring and responsible. It’s obvious that she loves animals! She kept us updated with photos and videos. I know that our pup had an awesome time! Will hopefully be a repeat customer if she will have us.”
“Came from VA for vacation with a big family! Hope took my pups in last min when the petsitter I had cancel on me while enroute. We were stuck in traffic and arrived 2 hours after the pickup time and she accommodated us!”
“Leaving Daisy for 3 weeks in a kennel would have broken our hearts. Instead she stayed with a wonderful family! Big thanks to Donna for taking tremendous care of our pup and putting our minds at ease while we were away. Great communication and plenty of pictures kept us in the loop. We will definitely use Donna again!!”
“This is my second booking with Hiranis and I have no worries when Bongo is in her care. She sends me pictures which reassures me he is in good hands. She gives me a briefing on how he did once I pick him up and I will be booking her again whenever the need arises!”
“Jordan's home and property could not be a better place for Mac to spend a few days away from us, but the real reason I'll come back is Jordan's kindness, love for dogs, and incredible communication. A+, 10/10, 5 stars.”
“Tania and her family took amazing care of our Mac! We didn’t worry once during our time away, as we knew he was in great hands. Tania is a great communicator, and sent us many pictures of our baby throughout the weekend. When we got there to pick him up, he was in no rush to leave. What a great feeling!”
“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“Katie-Marie has watched my dog, Sisi, twice and has been great both times! Sisi is always timid at first, but she was patient with her and allowed Sisi the space to trust and open up, so the second time, Sisi was easily comfortable. She also didn’t mind the toy destruction Sisi caused and our dogs got along great! I highly recommend Katie-Marie and will be using her anytime I’m in town!”
“Amanda was just what we were looking for! Our fur baby is a11 year old Golden Retriever with some heath issues. We really wanted to find a caring person with children( she loves kids) we knew this would cheer her up,and we were right! As a matter of fact when we picked her up it was almost like she wanted to stay! She was depressed for the first day we brought her home, which to us it was a good sign that she had a good time! We will be bringing her to Amanda in October. I highly recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
Angelita was great! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the whole process so easy. Our dog can be more timid/reactive so I was nervous taking him to someone new, but she helped him feel comfortable right away. She communicated great throughout his stay and even had a sweet little gift bag for him when we picked him up, which was so thoughtful! He came home happy and tired. We would absolutely recommend her and plan to book with her again in the future! 🙂
Our pup had an amazing stay with Gwen and her family. He’s a puppy, and it was his first time boarding - but the experience could not have gone better. He LOVED the beautiful big yard and clearly got so much loving attention. Gwen’s communication was excellent. We are already planning to book again! Highly recommend.
Ashley was amazing with Waffles! She and her kids gave him lots of love, attention, walks, and playtime. Waffles can be sensitive to certain floors and steps, and Ashley was so patient and made sure he was comfortable. She also had a dog at home, so Waffles had a furry friend around while we were away! She sent the perfect number of pictures and videos and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. Waffles came home happy and healthy, and it was obvious he had a great time. We would definitely have Ashley watch him again! ❤️
Emma was absolutely phenomenal, flexible and took the best care of my pups. They had a great time with her dogs and i could tell they had a great time. Would love for her to watch my pups again. She even made them home made goodies! And send a bunch of updates. Im grateful for her
Honey’s second stay with Chris (this time for just under a week) was just as wonderful as the first! Honey loves Chris and is best friends with his dog, Olive. Chris spends plenty of time exercising, playing with, and entertaining Honey, so I know she’s getting lots of attention and care while I’m away. He also sends tons of photos and updates throughout her stay. It’s clear how much he cares about the dogs he watches and I never have to worry when Honey is with him. I couldn’t recommend Chris more highly!
Austin was amazing! He was thorough with taking notes and understanding what my fur baby needed to stick with her routine. Communication was consistent throughout and I never had to wonder how things were going. I had confidence throughout that Roxy was in good hands. Everything went great!

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.
97% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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 PA 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.
