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.

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.
“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!!!”
“Isak was great! He agreed to check on Darin with short notice, and communicated quickly. He followed instructions, treated our home with care and from the pictures he sent, it looks like Darin had a blast with him! ☺️”
“Julie has taken care of our senior kitty, Lilly, several times now. Julie is dependable, responds 2 texts, takes good photos & daily detailed reports, so we know exactly what mood Lilly is in. Julie gives us a peace of mind while we’re away. We will rebook again w/Julie.”
About: My experience with pets is based off of my very own pets that I take care of outside of college. Taking dogs out for walks and give them the proper exercise, make sure they are fed properly and regularly, and to give them the attention they need. For cats same applies for them as well. I'm a college student currently enrolled in Thaddeus Stevens and with my schedule I can on Monday's/Wednesdays from 12:00-4:00 Pm and afterwards I can come again from 7:00- 11:00 Pm. On Tuesday's/Thursday's I can come around 12:00 -3:00 Pm and afterwards I can also come from 5:00-10:00 Pm Weekends - If I don't currently have any weekend plans (You can contact me and ask if I do, or I'll inform you of my plans if asked. But I don't mind staying over a full weekend to watch your pets). The time's I can scheduled for a long weekend would be between Friday 2pm ( I have to finish my Am class 7:30 - 12:00) to Sunday 12pm. I provide pet care that focuses on safety, comfort, and consistency whether the animal is in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications so they feel secure and supported. My home is fully pet‑proofed, and when I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things clean, and follow all household rules. I supervise pets closely, especially outdoors, and make sure they always have access to fresh water, a cozy resting area, and a calm environment. I also spend quality time with every pet, offering enrichment, affection, and reassurance to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away.
About: I have a very friendly mini labradoodle who LOVES visitors and one cat who is also very comfortable with dogs visiting my home (he’s also very happy to stay independently in other areas of the home if needed). I have three young children who live with me 50% of the time, who are also very high energy and love running around with dogs. Since I work from home full time, I’m able to walk dogs multiple times during the day and don’t have to crate during the day. Large three floor home, small yard, very close to multiple open outdoor spaces for dogs to run. I work from home full-time, so have lots of flexibility to care for pets! No need to crate daily, and can offer multiple daily walks. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I have a lead for those who want to stay outside for a bit and several leashes for short bathroom breaks. I also live very close to several outdoor spaces for dogs (ie parks).
“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!”
About: I have experience taking care of puppies of varying energy levels and senior arthritic dogs. I take instruction very seriously- if you emphasize reinforcing the dog’s training, that I will do. If you want the baby spoiled, I can do that too. I am currently without another job and out of school so I have a lot of free time, I can accept walks or play time with relatively short notice, I just can’t do early mornings because I wake up at 8-9 am. I can be very flexible to the client’s preferences. Anything I need for myself, I can bring with me and I will only enter parts of the home with explicit permission.
“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.”
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: Dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, lizards; I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets since I was very young. I love being around animals and helping out friends, family, and neighbors by watching their pets for them. I work a job from about 7-3:30 Monday-Friday but there is a lot of flexibility in my hours and I am always available in later afternoon to evening (3:30 pm on). My animals are always given lots of attention. I can feed, walk, let out, fence, crate, provide medicine, and offer lots of pets to your pet; whatever they prefer and/or need!
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.
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.
“Hiranis was great! Sent me lots of pictures and took great care of my pups! She was very communicative with me and I appreciate that a lot! Would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”

Mabel is challenging in the best of times, and Fozzie has some additional unanticipated medical issues. Mai was willing to be patient and caring with both of them, even though Mabel barked at them the whole time. Mai provided updates including video and pictures do I knew what was happening with the pups. I can only hope Mai is willing to come back!
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.

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 .

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.
