About: From Mastiffs to Shih Tzus, I have befriended and taken care of all kinds and sizes of dogs. My own Australian Shepherd lived to be 15 and loved hiking, swimming and so much fetch. I know how to take care of young pups, high energy and high maintenance dogs, as well as the old ones who deserve all of our compassion. I'm currently working flexible hours, so I have the ability and energy to step out to take your dog for a walk. I can do scheduled walks or on-call visits. I have house- and dog-sat for my whole life, so I can accommodate your pets' specific needs. I pay close attention to their personalities and learn to communicate with each dog.
“Sydney did a great job visiting my cats twice daily during my vacation. She even learned to give Big Boi Peter his insulin shot! She is real cat lover too, and could not be more perfect to leave your fur babies with.”
“Our senior kitty, Lilly, wasn’t feeling well right B4 we left 4 vacay. So, I was concerned while we were away. Julie was my eyes & ears & took great photos 2 let me know that Lilly was feeling better. And I was able 2 enjoy our vacay. Thanks Julie!”
“Kaelee was very prompt in her responses. She made sure she met our Mya ahead of time and verified days and times. We appreciated getting photos from drop in visits.”
“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 taken care of and have had pets for forty years, and would love to care for yours as well. I grew up raising Labador Retrievers, and have owned cats over the years as well. I've also had the pleasure of caring for and boarding friends' & families' pets, and having them in my home always brings me so much joy!!! We currently don't have any pets so yours will get all the attention! I am currently a stay at home mom who homeschools my teens. I have flexibility in my schedule most days of the week, and would love to care for your pets in my home, or in your home. I offer dog walking and visits to your home, and will take your pet(s) into my home as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking, and I will accomodate your pet's exercise needs.
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.
About: I’ve grown up always having pets in the family and knew I had a passion for animal care. I’ve looked after senior dogs, puppies, female dogs in heat, rescues with trust issues, and dogs with Vision problems. I work from home so I have very open availability and I have a car so I’m able to commute to and from different rover jobs. I have a small backyard for potty time and a big park across the street with a path to go on the walks. I have a 25-30lb dog that’s with me off and on and a cat with me full time. They both love meeting new friends and warm up quite quickly to new animals staying with us.
“Was quick to respond, very helpful in making sure thay not only was my doggy OK, but that i turned off my hot hair tool! Will be reaching out again for any other visits in the future :)”
“As always Rachel made our pups day! Lexi gets so excited and Rachel zeroes in on her wants and definitely spoils her. Makes our time away soo much more enjoyable knowing she is well cared for!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jen has been taking great care of our big puppy. She is super dependable and has even helped with things without us having to ask. Example: on a really windy day she brought our trash can and recycling bin into our garage...a really small thing but a huge gesture and help. Would definitely recommend Jen.”
“amazing! we booked the day before for 3 drop in’s for one day on saturday- super last minute- because of a last minute work related trip! this was my first time ever using rover and i was so anxious and worried but Tynea was great! we have a doggy cam & a security cam, and we could see healani really liked her! she was super tired after each walk and/or doggy park visit! Tynea dropped in 3 times, and followed the note i left her perfectly, including when to give her a CBD calm treat, and when to give her a kong filled with peanut butter! my dog has separation anxiety, and it’s extremely rare when i have to leave her alone, or she cannot travel or come with me to things, so it’s really important she’s calm and having fun! healani had so much fun and was so happy when we came back but clearly tired from the day and knocked out a little after! a huge thank you! Tynea’s communication was great and took so much worry off our shoulders with tons of photos and updates! definitely recommend and will book again if we need to!!!!”
About: I started taking care of neighbors pets while on vacation when I was in middle school. I’m now a dog mom myself and love to interact with all dogs on the daily. I recently went through the puppy stage with Kiwi and feel very prepared to ease any care needs a pawrent could feel when having to leave the home! I work full time remote but with a flexible schedule that often has me working events on weekends. I’m looking to fill in the gaps in my Monday-Friday with some time on weekends for drop ins. I am so happy to keep your fur baby company or take them on walks to help with long trips apart from your pup. Once I know your pup, I’m sure we will be great friends and have fun playing together!
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: Since I was little I have had a strong passion and love for animals of every kind. Dogs are definitely the superior though(shhh). Friends and family have always trusted me to take care of their furry friend. I have experience walking bathing and light grooming, basic training, and sitting. Growing up I had a beautiful cockapoo named Honey. I miss her so much and think about getting another dog all the time, but I am waiting until I graduate and settle down so I can give them a home they deserve. I would be so grateful to give this love to your 4 legged cutie! I am home full time, so I will have plenty of time and attention to give to your pet! I am very active, and go on walks/runs everyday. I live in a one bedroom apartment in Foxhall. I am a highly aware person, and I am always checking my surroundings and making sure everything is okay with everything and everyone. The safety of your pet is my highest concern. They will be in safe and loving hands.

Keyshleen did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my 2 pugs for stop in visits . She sent pictures both times and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care . If you need someone responsible that will love your pups like their own. I would highly recommend her . I will be using her again for sure .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lancaster. On Rover:

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
