About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals that I have had in both personal and a professional setting. My schedule allows me to dedicate focused, unhurried time to each pet, ensuring each animal will receive the attention and care they deserve and need. In my or clients home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection for each and every one.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like family—whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior pet needing a gentler pace and extra patience. I have experience with basic puppy training, including leash manners and crate comfort, and I’m confident caring for senior pets who may need medication, slower walks, or just some extra cuddles and calm companionship. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and routine to help them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I also make it a priority to keep you in the loop with regular updates and adorable, personalized photos of your pet—so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands and still feel connected while you’re apart. I work full-time during the day so I’m best suited for morning/evening and weekend walking. I can work from home to pet sit, however, if needed! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, trust and safety are always my top priorities. I take the responsibility of looking after someone’s beloved pet very seriously, and I always aim to create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play, and even little habits—so their pet feels as relaxed and “at home” as possible. I’m respectful of your space, and I treat your home with the same care I give your pet. If a pet is staying in my home, I make sure the space is pet-safe, clean, and free from hazards. I gradually introduce them to the new environment to avoid overwhelm and make sure they have a cozy spot all their own. No matter the location, I stay attentive, never leave pets unattended for long periods, and always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Such a caring person! My calico LOVES her, and she doesn’t like anyone outside the family! She checked in, sent fantastic pictures and followed through, even giving my girl some extra attention. I feel very lucky that she responded to my message to catsuit!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for most of my life. My friends, families and strangers have trusted me to provide the upmost care for their pets. I am extremely reliable and dependable. I can’t wait to assist and providing you and your pets the best service possible. I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I do work outside of Rover but I have a lot of flexibility to maneuver my schedule when need be. So, don’t hesitate to reach out. I have two indoor cats myself so I know the importance of pet safety. I’ll treat your pets as if they’re my own. Sort of like the golden rule!
“Colleen was great with my 3 peibies She sent cards with a little report each time she did a drop in visit. I enjoyed her pics and notes, it made me feel better, cuz I had never left them before. I will ask Colleen when I need a sitter for my peibies.”
“Yue did an excellent job caring for my pup while I was away! She was very patient and caring when he was anxious and went the extra mile to hang out with him during the drop in to get him to go outside!”
About: Have had dogs my entire life. Currently the father of a wonderful Golden Retriever(Lola) and rambunctious orange cat(Gus). I am used to being pulled on walks and giving lots of rubs. Comfortable doing short or long walks, trails or paved roads. I’ve lived in Lancaster almost my entire life, so I know a lot of trails and paths across the county My schedule is pretty open right now for the foreseeable future. Just need 24 hour notice to accommodate for my family. I normally wake up early to take my dog for a walk and again in the evening once the pavement has cooled off I live in Lancaster city, I have a back yard that is fenced on the sides but open in the back. Due to that, I am pretty familiar with all the local parks and hiking trails. Animal lover and pacifist.
“Fantastic, thinks on her feet, and is a real cat person. We couldn't find a better sitter here on Rover than Misty. A true gem, and a loving person to our Cielo. Thanks so much!!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Sarah, I am 24 years old, I live in New Holland, and I love all animals! My main job is housepainting for across northern Lancaster County, and I work for myself and can therefore set my own schedule. I love all animals. Dogs were historically my favorite, but since rescuing two cats starting a year ago, I've become a full on cat person as well. But no matter what genus your pet hails from, I will be friends with them. I like to take my dog with me when I dogsit (although during the day while I work she stays at my apartment), and I always schedule a meet and greet before confirming. Hit me up with any questions. I make my own schedule since I am self-employed, so I can come any day of the week, as long as it's not before 9am. I love to sit and cuddle in the evening since my day job is very physically demanding, but seeing a fuzzy face automatically infuses me with extra energy, so I can do whatever needs to get done.
“Kathleen did a great job watching our various pets. She showed up on time each day and gave us a report with pics included. Communication was great. I felt relieved to know my pets were being well taken care of. Highly recommend.”

I currently work weekdays from 6 AM to 6 PM, but I’m fully available on weekends and all holidays to care for your pets with love. I have a fenced back yard and a room dedicated to any animal i care for with all kinds of things that will interest them as well as air conditioning and heat when needed

Ashley S.
“I've used Ashley as my pet sitter for my 3 (formerly 4) cats since 2022. Her services takes away the anxiety I have when it comes to leaving my cats for any length of vacation. She sent unprompted pictures of each cat and updates me if there are any concerns such as "Is is normal to have socks scattered around the house?" (That would be Marbles - he loves walking around the house with the sock in his mouth). She doesn't want to deviate too far from their normal daily routine with me being away. She ensures the cats are receiving the love, affection, and attention they need. I trust Ashely 100% with my cats.”
