“I’ve had a great experience with Maya! Both of my cats are very anxious and easily frightened, but she was incredibly patient and attentive with them. She made sure they were eating, comfortable, and well cared for during every visit. I especially appreciated the photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cats and took the time to earn their trust. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.”
“Grace did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups, she took them on plenty of walks when she didn’t need to and always made sure to take cute pics and update me on everything that was needed! Will be using her for future sits.”
“Aubreigh is so kind and sweet. We were super nervous about letting someone in our house to care for our pets but she put us at ease. She had great contact with us and lives in our dogs like they were hers. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her.”
“Emma was AMAZING! Our cats loved her. She was quick to respond, punctual, always updating us and made sure our kitties were loved and taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking her again in the future.”
About: Hi there! My name is Lola and I am looking to help people out in the community with dog walking and sitting! Love taking care of dogs any size. I enjoy spending time outside and hiking. I’ve been around dogs for 10+ years and know how to work with them. I already have two dogs so I know how to set a routine with taking care of them. I enjoy having a full schedule with working and taking care of dogs. Especially with loving dogs so much! For my pets at home I take them on walks, go outside, feed them good quality food, and keep up with vet visits. For taking care of dogs in client’s homes I will be sure to respect the environment and adhere to the owner’s guidelines for taking care of their pet.
“The cats didn't care too much when I came home, so I can tell she did a good job! Leann was communicative, flexible. But most importantly, I can tell that the cats took a shine to her. I definitely reccomend.”
About: I have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was 12. I have even cared for cats over the years. I have grown up with dogs in my household since I was four years old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Pet care fits in my daily routine as I am currently in school and working part time. I have a flexible schedule Sunday to Saturday. I am willing to dog sit at your home where your pet feels most comfortable. If they need to let out energy we can go for walks or play outside. If they prefer to stay inside and just hangout, I am down for that too!
“Cole was wonderful taking care of our dog! She came to meet with us and our dog Cooper before we went out of town. She came on time every day to check on our dog, let him out to potty, and give him exercise and play time! Cole genuinely cares about the animals she is responsible for and she is a pleasure to work with! I will definitely be booking her services in the future. It is such a relief knowing our dog is in good hands when we can’t take him with us!”
About: Dogs have always been a major part of my life. Even before owning my own dog, I loved helping to care for my neighbor’s or family member’s dogs. I’ve had a lot of experience dog walking and pet sitting over the years, and since getting my own dog, Charlie, who is a rescue with anxiety, I have learned the important of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently home from college with lots of free time, so much schedule is very flexible. I can pretty much be available any time throughout the week. I love to go on long walks and explore parks with my doggies. I always put safety first, making sure your dogs are secure and comfortable, especially in new environments. I will also make sure all possible medications, food, etc., are properly administered.
“The best sitter we could ask for. Our cat, Bruce, was sick while we were out of town and Bethany went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed to feel better. An angel.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
About: While I never had pets growing up, I was lucky to be able to pet sit for friends and family growing up. I am most comfortable with cats but I am also comfortable with caring for dogs! I currently work full time but have most evenings and weekends free! I have two cats at home who get plenty of undivided attention and enrichment activities - I'd love to give the same to your pets! I live in an apartment with a second floor patio so I feel comfortable supervising my own pets for outdoor activities. I believe in pets setting the tone for the visit so I'm in tune with animals telling me what they're comfortable with and acting accordingly to their wishes.
About: I am 21 years old and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always been around dogs and helped take care of them, especially pit bulls. I am very comfortable with strong breeds and dogs with big personalities. I have experience with daily care such as feeding, walking, playtime, and sticking to routines. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are not home. Dogs are truly my whole heart and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am patient, loving, and attentive, and I always make sure dogs feel cared for and loved while in my care. I am also a dog mommy to my beautiful Belgian Malinois/Shepard, Dakota🐾❤️ Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I am currently enrolled in online nursing classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present and attentive to pets throughout the day. I have the time and availability to focus on providing reliable, consistent care. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in their home. I follow all instructions closely, respect routines, and make sure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. I treat every home with care and ensure a clean, calm, and safe environment at all times.
“Kathleen has been very reliable and has always provided feedback along with pic’s immediately after her visits with our Sophie. We have great piece of mind knowing that our Sophie is well taken care of.”
“Allison was fantastic!! Very reliable! She sends pictures of the fur babies everyday! You can tell she loves your pets and is compassionate about taking great care of them! Will definitely book her again! Thanks Allison!!”
About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have loved animals my whole life. I currently have a 3-year-old pitbull, 2-year-old rat, and a 7-year-old horse, and I’ve been riding horses for as long as I can remember. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me for years to feed, care for, and spend time with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and truly enjoy making animals feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, playtime, and care they deserve! I’m usually most available Fridays through Mondays, with flexible evening availability during the week as well. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I care deeply about making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, stress-free environment for both you and your pets.

Zania is truly the most professional and attentive dog sitter that I have ever hired. She took excellent care of Rex and even provided me with some helpful insights. I e joyed my time away knowing Rex would be lovingly cared for. I highly recommend Zania and plan to hire her again!
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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lancaster is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
