“Angelita was amazing! She was extremely prompt and thorough with communication. The set-up she has at her house is very dog-friendly, giving our four-legged family member her own vacation while we were on ours. It is obvious that Angelita loves caring for dogs; the second our dog met her, they were instantly best friends. She sent lots of updates while we were away! Will absolutely be using Angelita again!!”
“Sheree did a great job taking care of my dog, Theo. She constantly kept me updated on how he was doing and sent plenty of pictures. Theo seemed to have a lot of fun with her dog Charlie. I would definitely book with her again if I’m in need of another sitter!”
“It was the first time we leave our dog here in the Usa...and we couldn't choose better!! Vicky and all her family were amazing with Hope...she sent us a lot of photos and video...and kept us updated with everything they did during the day...so we could enjoy our trip at best!!”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“Our dogs stay with Danielle and Bri was great! They took great care of our dog and even gave him a bath after a fun day playing outside at their beautiful homestead. It was peace of mind having a meet and greet before his week long stay but he joined their pack right away. Great communication and wonderful people.”
“Mai was amazing with our dogs! We received many photos/videos/updates often. Our dogs were pretty much immediately comfortable with being at Mai’s house which is set up to be very welcoming to all dogs. Mai enjoyed spending time with Jax and Izzy and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend!”
“Betsy and Ron provide a perfect home away from home for our Coco! They are keenly sensitive to individual pup’s personalities and needs. She even cleaned off a windowsill for Coco because looking outside is her favorite pastime. Taking only one at a time, they give your dog all the attention. Another huge plus to me—their house is spotlessly clean. 5 stars is not quite enough!”
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!
“Jen S was absolutely amazing with my dog Gracie. Gracie sometimes has separation anxiety, but Jen kept her loved , kept her safe and Gracie had a wonderful time. Jen really loves animals and it shows when you pick up your pet . You know they were well taken care of. And I felt good knowing I could go away and Gracie was well taken care of.”
“Julie was great with our golden doodle Bodhi! She watched him while we were away for a few days and we felt very at ease that he was in great hands! We got daily updates/pics which let us know Bodhi was having a great time without mom and dad. We will certainly book with Julie again and definitely recommend her!”
“Our dogs had a great stay with Tara. They looked happy and comfortable in all the pics she sent along the way. Will be looking fwd to book with her in the future again!”
“Michael and family were great! He was very responsive and checked in every day. You could tell he cared for my fur baby and took great care of her. He listened to her routine and also spoiled her with lots of snuggles and attention. I’m not sure she actually wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Michael- and I will be sending my fur baby to daycare camp with him again!”
“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!!”
“Deb is a wonderful person with people and dogs. My dog Lily was a little nervous at first and she was able to help her settle in and have an enjoyable stay. Highly recommend her”
“D was the best with our two fur babies, Cooper and Penny!!! We were gone for 5 days and she sent pictures and videos each day, which made us feel more at ease about leaving them for the first time that wasn’t with family! D was so sweet and made sure to get understand each of the dogs personalities and quirks. We loved her and will definitely book with her again when we go out of town!!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
Danielle & Brianna were nice and easy-going. They helped us out with a quick, last minute trip (when our usual sitter was unavailable). They both made us feel very comfortable about leaving our pups in a new place which I really appreciated and I would definitely use them again!
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!
Charissa, Shawn and family, provided EXCEPTIONAL care for our boy. He had such a great time that all he wanted to do was nap when he got home. (Which is fantastic as he is a high energy boy!) They had to navigate losing power to a horrible storm and yet still kept him safe and cool and provided updates as they could. It really felt like leaving him with family! 10/10 will book again!
Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home.

I needed to go on a trip and didn't want my baby, Koko, to have a rough time. I found out about the company Rover through my sister; she referred me to Sherre—and Sherre is exactly who I chose to look after Koko. She was absolutely the best! I am so grateful; I felt completely at peace and at ease because, from the moment I met her, she inspired such confidence. She sent me videos and photos, and when I went to pick him up, he was doing great. Many blessings to her—she will always be my baby's caregiver.
Mai was wonderful with lily! The communication is top notch, as are the pictures and videos of our fur baby being themselves in a comfortable and loving environment. 10/10 definitely will recommend! It was wonderful to turn our brains off and know that our dog was in safe and caring hands while we were on vacation. Lily insisted we included her input as well for other fur babies that are curious: I had lots of fun, toys, treats, walks with sniffs and again the toy selection is something I’m going to tell my parents about cause I need that. I really like the lick mats, they were super stimulating too. I got to do doggy yoga and mastered the resting dog. I read allllll of my pmail too, while on dogcation!!
Jenn was sensitive to our dog's anxiety, especially since this was his first time away from home without us. He took to her right away and she would send pictures and updates to us. She accommodated our schedule when it changed and we were able to come sooner than planned to retrieve him. We are glad to recommend her to others and will use her again as future needs arise.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lancaster on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 672 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Lancaster sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lancaster landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
