About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family for about 10 years. I am dedicated to caring for your pet as if they were my own! Willing and able to follow any personalized or unique instructions as well. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of open availability. That may be subject to change on a weekly basis but advanced notice will be provided. I hold myself to a very high standard of trust and integrity in all aspects of life. I am dedicated to providing an excellent client experience and caring for pets and the home as if they were my own.
“Kaelee was so great! Super professional, thoughtful and responsive. She was able to watch our fur babies over the holiday weekend and was really proactive about making sure the animals and our house were a-okay. We appreciate her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Lexie is great! She was able to take care of our puppy last minute and was so kind, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind to leave him with her. It’s obvious she really loves animals. We are super grateful for an awesome sitter!”
About: I’ve had a family dog since I was 4 and have loved each greatly. I’m great with all, no matter how big or small. I will make sure they’re treated like the family they are. I have experience giving medications if needed as well as keeping to routines. I’m currently self employed, so there’s plenty of time and energy to spare on doggos and kitties! I currently work from home and can take my work on the go if need be. I’m in an area that’s very walkable and I walk daily. I don’t have pets of my own so any time I get with them, whether friend’s or family’s, is a delight. I follow care specifications of clients to a T. I try to make sure the animals are taken care of as if their own parents were still there. Making sure they’re walked, fed, played with, given potty opportunities, or simply left alone if that’s what they prefer. I care for every pet as if it were my own.
“Jen is the best! Our cat typically takes a little while to warm up to new people but at the end of the first visit with Jen, Charlotte was giving her headbutts and asking for pets. Jen sent pics of her while we were away and it made us feel good knowing Charlotte was happy and in good hands. We will be rebooking in the future for sure!”
“Mikayla did an awesome taking care of our pup for the first time today! She was very punctual and very responsive in communicating with us about our pups care during her check in. We are very pleased and would have her take care of our pup again, thank you!!!”
“Joybhad a marvelous first time with Lexi! Totally put our mind at ease while we are out for the day. Can't wait to reconnect with Lexi the next time we need a hand with our pup!”
“We’re so grateful for Austin and his patience, care, and attention to detail for our dog. He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable, watered, pottied, and loved. We’ll be booking him again!”
“Julie does great work. She understands what our pets need and makes sure their needs are met. When things are not laid out in an ideal easy to understand way, she works her way through the problem and makes sure the pets welfare is the priority.”
“Heather has been a consistent sitter I've used for a little while now. She's been quick with communication and overall a nice person to chat with. Thanks Heather!”
“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!”
“Really could not recommend Chris enough. Our GSD can be very selective when it comes to meeting new people or people coming into his space. Chris was able to quickly get acquainted to our high energy dog and consistently went above and beyond to ensure he was given the care that is needed. We will certainly be using him again in the future.”
About: I have a 4 year old bernedoodle who loves other dogs! We live in the northwest section of Lancaster and love exploring all of the great walking areas the city has to offer! I am available on weekends for overnight stays! My dog and I like hiking at local trails or walking around the city if your dog likes that! I am able to crate your dog if needed for overnight stays if that is what your dog prefers. For bathrooms breaks we would go outside on a leash.
About: I have been a cat owner for more than two decades. I have helped family and friends with their dogs over the same amount of time. I currently work full-time, but I have set days off and every other weekend I am also available to pet sit. I can work walks into my schedule easily, but sitting only a few times a week. I do not bring pets home with me since we have limited space, but I am more than fine at your place. I keep the place clean if your puppers has an accident.
About: I love animals more than anything and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I grew up with a Rottweiler and a Pomeranian so any kind of dog is perfect with me. I understand the struggles of leaving your babies so I will do everything I can to ensure you have peace of mind. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of availability. Once I get a new job I will still be available weekends and after work. I wouldn’t like to have to let people in my own home so I promise to be very respectful of your space. I will only go in the areas necessary for pet care and immediately message you if anything.
About: Hi! I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals since I was small. In addition to cat and dog sitting, I have taken care of other people's horses, cows, and hogs. I love taking long walks and would love to care for your four legged friends! Right now, overnight house and pet sitting is the best fit. I'm a theatre artist and have some shows lined up for the fall. I would also be able to do mid-day walks. Unfortunately, because I share with several room-mates, I would have to care for your pet in your home. However, I am responsible and detail oriented, and would take good care of your space while I'm there.
About: I have two dogs and trust me they are a handful. I am used to walking and feeding them frequently. I have dog sat for many family friends and have had experiences with all types of dogs. Also I’m not shy to show love to any dog I see I am a recent college graduate, and I’ve moved back home and looking for some income till I start my new job. I have an open schedule, but I do prefer morning and early afternoon I love to be around the animals and will make them feel loved. I have experience with all sizes of dogs. I am able to have animals trust me and be on they’re level
About: The best part of my day (and my doggie’s) is talking her on her daily walks. Stella, my golden girl, is a strong one, but nevertheless, the cutest and most energetic dog there is. With that being said, I am physically able to walk dogs of various strengths and sizes. I work a full time 9-5 job, however, my schedule is quite flexible - whether it be morning or evening walks, weekend walks, holiday walks, etc. I currently live alone, however, my doggy (abroad), lives in the house with us. She sleeps with us in bed. We have a nice big garden that she’s able to play and roam around in for outside time. In addition, we live in a very safe residential neighborhood that we enjoy taking her out for her daily walks. We also live nearby a dog cafe, where we take her weekly to get some doggy social time while we hang around and sip our coffee.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
There are simply not enough words to describe what a fabulous experience we had with Zania. From the moment we first met her, both of my dogs adored her. Zania always arrived on time to take care of our girls, and she communicated with us regarding each visit. We LOVED her photos. We will definitely be booking with Zania again.
Winter thoroughly enjoyed her time with Emily. She probably jumped up and gave her 1 million hugs.😳 I was comforted in knowing that she was in good hands while I was far away. Emily was prompt followed my many instructions and we will be glad to have her back.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lancaster stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lancaster choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lancaster with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
