About: I’ve watched over and owned all kinds of pets from dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, bunnies, turtles, etc. Many of my family and friends have trusted me to care for and/or watch their pet(s). I have a way with animals that makes this not just a side job but a passion. I would be so happy to care for your friend(s)! During the week, I am available in the morning and/or afternoon before 3pm (except Fridays) and I’m also now available Sundays! Book with me today😁 Everyday I make sure my cat Suki has fresh water and a mixture of dry and wet food (that’s her favorite)! I clip her nails every other week and bathe her every month as she likes to go outside in the backyard often. I spend as much time with her as I can!! The same goes for any clients’ pet. I treat them with the love and care they deserve! I will always work with you based on your pets needs.
“Great repeat experience with Katie-Marie! She took care of a few extra chores during her visits, quickly and thoroughly communicated with us throughout the duration of the booking, and worked hard to make sure our cat was well taken care of. Thank you Katie-Marie!”

About: When caring for someone’s pet, I want them to feel just as loved, safe, and cared for as they would if their parents were home. I’ve been raised around all kinds of pets throughout my life: fuzzy, feathered, and scaly! I also have two cats of my own, Lilith and Demeter, who are beyond spoiled and treated as my daughters. I truly believe every pet deserves that same level of love, attention, and care. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine, as I currently have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I treat them like they’re a part of my family. I’ll follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and love. I’m huge on communication and am more than happy to provide plenty of updates throughout the day/service.
“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.”

Additionally, I am comfortable administering medication, feeding, bathing, and brushing. I find cleaning quite stress-relieving, so I assure you that cleanliness is important to me. Your space and animal will be treated with the utmost respect. Do you need your plants watered? Fish fed? Dust levels maintained to a minimum? I am happy to assist with these services as well!

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life and view them as part of our family. For my entire life, I've had at least one dog in my home and truly could not imagine it any other way. You can be confident that when your dog is with us they will be cared for compassionately and given lots of love and attention. We truly feel our home is the dream destination for your dog - we have a big fenced in yard for them to safely play and sunbathe. We work from home so can give lots of attention and care throughout the day. We also have two dogs in our family that are the most laid back and relaxed dogs I've ever met. If your dog likes to play, they will play and if your dog likes to relax and sleep or doesn't want much interaction, they go off into their own areas to sleep. I work from home so have the ability to be present with your dogs throughout the day to make sure they are given attention and affection they need! We can easily go outside (we have a fenced in yard) for potty breaks and play at multiple points throughout the day and in the evenings we are home and enjoy being outside. We want your dog to feel at home with us! We have a fenced in yard so they can safely play outside and get exercise as needed. Our two dogs get along with all other dogs they've met - they will play sporadically throughout the day but love to lay in the sun, look out the windows and front door and be close to us while we work from home. We're confident that your dog will feel right at home with us.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog since high school and spent a full year training and caring for a puppy while nannying after college. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I truly miss having dogs around every day! As an elementary school teacher, I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines — whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or playtime. I’m an elementary school teacher with a consistent weekday schedule (7:30–3:30). While I’m at school during the day, I’m fully available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to give your pup lots of attention, walks, and love. I enjoy relaxing evenings at home, which makes house sitting a great fit for me, especially with a dog by my side! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise through walks, playtime, or fetch, while also respecting their routines and boundaries. I understand pets are part of the family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and love I would want for my own.

“Ash was the best of the best of the best hands down thumbs up. She showed my cats all the love she possibly could even though they were snobby about. Took great care to respect our home and wishes and checked in and conversed with me regularly. I felt fantastic about having her check in and care for our cats. Thank you so much Ash”

About: I’ve taken care of childhood dogs since I was 12. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with all sorts of animals growing up. I would be able to care for pets during the weekends and after 430pm weekdays. It is a great way not only to bond with animals but also get my daily exercise in. In a clients home, I would be able to feed the dog, play with it, and take it on walks like it was my own animal. For walking, I would make sure they enjoyed themselves, and add some play time in as well to make it more rewarding for the animal.

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 $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,025 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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 cancellation policy, 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.
