“Angelita was amazing, wonderful!! She took great care of my dog and my dog was excited to go there the next day! She even gave my dog a treat bag to go home with!”
“We had a great experience with Gwendoline! Our 6 month old pit mix was nervous around the other dogs at first so Gwendoline did slow intros to make her feel comfortable. She was running around with all the dogs and making friends within the first hour! We will definitely be bringing her back soon!”
“Heather was most incredible Sitter for my pup Maggie Mae. Maggie truly enjoyed her time with Heather. Heather made her feel right at home. Thanks Heather will see you again.”
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I can’t imagine it any other way. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Your pup will get plenty of attention, affection, and care—just like they would at home. I am a registered nurse and lifelong dog lover offering doggy daycare and overnight boarding in my home. My home features a large fenced-in yard for safe play and, during the summer months, supervised pool time for fun and cooling off. With my nursing background, I’m attentive, reliable, and comfortable following routines or administering medications if needed. Your dog will enjoy a loving, safe, and comfortable home while you’re away—and you can relax knowing they’re in caring hands. Flexible daily daycare and weekend overnight boarding in a safe and loving home. Dogs enjoy full access to the house and a large fenced in yard.
“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“D was so sweet, kind, and caring! You can tell she has a heart for all animals. My dog Eli had the best time playing with the other dogs and cats. D even sent pictures and videos of the fun. My goal was to have him run off some energy and have socialization while I’m working and her lovely little farm definitely provided that.”
“Charissa was amazing with our last minute planning and willing to babysit our fur baby. Our pup loves attention and affection from anyone and everyone but he felt completely at home within her home and that’s the best feeling when you know your pet is doing well. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.”
“Stacy was awesome! Cappy had a great first stay with her and her family. She was very attentive to his needs and communicated with me about how he was doing! Cappy will definitely be staying with Stacy again!”
“Jackson's first day with Megan & Vincent was full of sunshine, friends, & fun! Thank you for all the photos & updates throughout his stay. He came home happy & would like to come back to play again! :)”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
“The best dog sitter on earth. My dog Milo does doggy daycare with her. She is very communicative, friendly, adaptable, and kind. She and her dog Jayde brought so much joy to Milo’s life. They had lots of fun together. Would recommend her to everyone I know.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Vera caring for both of my Yorkies! She was loving, attentive, and took excellent care of them. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I left extremely happy with her service and the care she provided. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her again! ❤️🐾”
“Julie did a an awesome job. We just moved to a new area, so we were worried about finding the right person for chloe. Julie did a great job of communicating and letting us know how chloe was doing. We would definitely use Julie again. We found the right person for our pup!”
“Sujeong was extremely responsive; she sent pictures of pepper regularly. She went above and beyond to make pepper feel comfortable; my dog is usually very nervous and shy with someone new but I could see how she extremely comfortable with Sujeong. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll definitely contact them again for dog boarding!”
“My pup Samson and I did a meet and greet with Krista a few weeks ago and decide we liked her. He had his first daycare session with her last week and loved it so much he didn’t want to leave. What more could a dog mom ask for?”
About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for over a 2 years. I work at Neffsville Veterinary Clinic. I have two dogs of my own. I enjoy caring for dogs and playing with them and or just relaxing with them. I am currently working part-time. 2-4 days a week 6 hour shifts. Meaning more time with pets. I will be having a baby in February! So cat litter is something I cannot handle at this time. When I am there I will take them out as much as they would like. I will feed them the exact time you normally do. I will sleep with them so they know they are not alone. I will take them on daily walks. Or I will do what you are most comfortable with closest to your routine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
I’m new to the city and I needed someone who had more than just 5 stars, I needed someone with countless positive reviews and that person was Angelita! She is someone who has all the boxes checked when it comes to a professional and loving environment for my dog MJ! We tried her out for the afternoon and not only did I get various photos during his stay, but, we even got a doggy care bag as a thank you along side appropriate branding of her daycare! She and her family are totally supportive of her business and the love she gave MJ was genuine and sincere! I highly recommend to any dog parent looking for someone they can trust - this girl is it!
Used Hesther as a sitter for the day for our morkie. She had two other dogs and although my dog Gizmo was a bundle of nerves from the dogs jumping on me and barking as I walked in with Gizmo in my arms, Heather helped to calm me and Gizmo, who was trembling. She took us and the two dogs to the yard, and instructed me to put Gizmo down on the grass. All was good with the world after that. They just wanted to smell him and say hello. She knew exactly what to do.She sent me a video and photo and responded to my texts as I was still slightly nervous. I highly recommend her.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lancaster commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 523 sitters in Lancaster, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
