“I have had my dog Bacon taken care of by them several times now over the last year ish. Last minute walks, my wedding, my two week honeymoon, day long events, a vacation, you name it. If you want true value for your money and an amazingly intuitive animal person. Book them. Trust the process. Bacon may not be good with other dogs usually but there's just an aura about them that allows Bacon to at least coexist. Mai just knows what to do. I would say Mai absolutely adores my old dog like he is their own. Love love love. It lifts so many worries off my shoulders when they take care of Bacon.”
“We met Tyler for the first time and he did great with our pup. He was attentive to all his needs and left a great impression. We are looking forward to more walks with Tyler!”
“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I’m an empty nester living downtown Lancaster City with a fully fenced yard. I’ve had dogs all of my life and I prefer adopting older rescues. But i just lost my Babette in July 2026. I’m not ready to own another one yet, but I miss having a dog as a regular part of my life. I’ve fostered in between pets in the past but wanted to give Rover a go. Babette was super reactive to other dogs so I’m experienced with that. But generally I’m a dog Mom who prefers dogs in my lap, on the couch and bed, etc. I can be strict if that’s what the owner prefers. I’m a walker but also looking for some dogs who might want to be runners (3 miles). My ‘day job’ is managing our personally owned rental properties and working on home improvement projects on my 150 year old carriage house. My schedule to take care of your pets is very open and flexible. In my house or yours. For a center of city home, we have a relatively large fenced yard which is a nice treat for dogs to be off leash and run free. I also love walking dogs around town, county park, and can even take a jog with them if there’s some energy to burn off. I would like jobs within walking distance so that’s pretty much a mile in either direction from Lancaster Square but I’m open to riding bike or driving to a further away location.
About: I had a border Collie for 17 years now an American shepherd for 1.5 years and he's fully trained already he's great just still a pup. Currently I work part time for an Amish company and I do morning pick ups and evening drop off with Thursday me being at the job all day. With time in advance I can move stuff around if need be. Im basically free all week during the times everyone is working. Well my dog i train and make sure he's behaving before he gets a reward. I don't always make him do stuff for tricks, but I practice commands daily and when it's not raining we go on walks, unfortunately he gets car sick so long drives aren't great for him still. I hug him tell him he's great tell him when he's done something bad as well, Play with toys and I'm currently working on him knowing what toy I'm telling him to get
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life! Mostly Pits, but comfortable caring for any breed, big or small. I have experience with trained and untrained dogs, hyper puppies, and senior dogs that need a little more patience than most. I also have experience caring for dogs that suffer from Tonic-Clonic (grand mal) seizures. I can also administer medication if needed. Rover is a part time job that also doubles as experience under my belt considering i’m going to school to become a vet technician. Personally pet care has always been apart of my daily life including cat care: feeding, enrichment, cleaning all bowls and liter box daily, bonding time(cuddles), even practicing tricks! (my cat can sit, spin, and go up on her hind feet all for a treat). Dog care includes: walking, feeding, outdoor and indoor enrichment, bathing, brushing etc. Im comfortable with pets in my home and also going to the clients home. I have 3 main areas in my home that I utilize for pet care. my finished basement which includes 2 separate rooms and a full bathroom, my backyard which is fully fenced with no grass. Lastly, the attic floor which includes my bedroom. If your pet is more hyper, I’d care for them in the basement since it has more space for zoomies and playing with toys. If your furbaby is more lazy and chill, we can relax in my bedroom!
“I can’t recommend her enough! I was sick and she came same day and took my pup out for a long walk. She took such great care of her and was communicative throughout. My dog fell asleep shortly after arriving home, so I know she had a great time !”
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 been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. I volunteered at a cat shelter for several years, where I gained experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I also have two cats and a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I truly enjoy spending my free time helping fellow pet owners by providing reliable, loving care. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or simply giving your pet extra attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I'm happy to work with your pet's unique routine and needs. Whether they love long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I'll provide personalized care to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, well cared for, and treated like family every step of the way. I know pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as consistent as possible. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks. I'll also give your pet plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you're away. You'll receive regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Growing up with pets, I learned early on the responsibility and commitment it takes to care for an animal. Pets bring so much joy to the world and I feel it's essential to foster that happiness through service and attention, with a focus on safety and well being. I prioritize learning about the animals and their personalities in order to adjust to their specific preferences and needs. Making sure the animal is safe and happy is my goal. I currently work evening shifts at my current job so I have most mornings available. I am also able to request specific times and days off work a couple weeks in advance. I always make sure the animal is comfortable and safe in whatever environment they are in. I am focused on dog walking and I make sure every walk is fun and safe for the pet.
“Katie-Marie has been such a wonderful dog Walker for our Theo! She is so sweet with him and communicates very well. She is great with animals and we trust her explicitly with our pup!”
About: I have been around dogs - as small as a Yorkshire and as big as a Shepard - my entire life as I grew up in a family that has always had pets, so caring for them has always come pretty naturally to me. From a young age, I have been responsible for walking, feeding, and spending quality time with our family dogs. Over the years, I have also helped friends are relatives by taking care of their dogs and cats while they were out of town, making sure their pets were always happy, well taken care of, and comfortable in their absence. I am a patient and attentive person, who truly enjoys being around animals. I treat every pet like my own and always make their safety and well-being my priority. I am generally available on weekdays from 8:00AM to 4:30PM. This allows me to provide reliable midday walks, drop-in visits, and consistent care while you may be work during the day I am happy to accommodate regular or last minute bookings within those hours whenever it is possible. My priorities are your pet's safety, comfort, and routine. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most familiar and secure. During visits and walks, I make sure pets are always supervised, safely leashed when outside, and kept in a stress-free environment. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I pay attention to each pets behavior and comfort level, and I take a patient and gentle approach to build trust. I can also provide updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I have a reliable car and can travel to your home easily. If requested, I can also take dogs to nearby parks, always ensuring their safety and comfort throughout the trip.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all different ages and breeds since I was little. I’m very patient, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, and I always want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! :) I’m a college student with morning classes and a part-time job, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I have plenty of room to fit pet care into my routine and would love to spend my free time hanging out with your furry friends! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime! I’ll follow your instructions, stick to their usual routine, and make sure they have everything they need while you’re away. I’ll also be respectful of your home and leave everything neat and tidy! :)
About: I have cared for my own pets my entire life and spent 2 years working in an emergency veterinary hospital as a medical receptionist. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs, including feeding, walks, medication, and attentive one on one care. I’m currently job hunting after graduating college, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m also available on weekends and can work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. I have professional experience working with animals in a veterinary emergency setting, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and recognizing when a pet may need additional attention. I treat every pet with patience and care.

Rachel is the best there is! My dog loves seeing Rachel. I know she is well taken care of when I am gone. Rachel plays with her at the park, gives her treats, and refreshes her water every time. We are moving out of state and I don’t know if I’m going to find someone as great as Rachel! Highly recommend :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lancaster is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 2,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Lancaster. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lancaster after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lancaster. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
