“Juniper is absolutely fabulous. So attentive to each of my dogs’ varying needs, communicates well, and is very punctual. I HIGHLY recommend using Juniper to care for your sweet fur babies.”
“Incredible, Ashleigh and John were so communicative with us, punctual with their visits and even offered to do an extra one for our social dog to have more interaction while we were gone. We will definitely be using them again next time we leave town!”
“This was our second time using Mai to watch our two cats and they did a stellar job. We were gone for a few weeks and I never worried about my 3 boys in Mai's care. They sent so many great photos and videos at every check-in and I could tell the cats were well taken care of. Thank you once again for the stellar care you gave to our fur babies!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and every single one of them has had a piece of my heart! I presently have two senior dogs and one three-year old, who probably feels as passionately about dogs as I do! I have also lived with, loved, and taken care of several cats over the last 13 years. Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my family’s lizards and frogs. I presently am able to control my own schedule and can make myself available for any last-minute or unexpected pet care needs that you may have. Currently, my only blocked off time for certain is Wednesdays from 5:30pm-9:30pm In my home, I have a fenced in yard to ensure that outside time is safe and fun. If you do not have a fenced in space but are still looking for your pup to have some outdoor time, I always ensure a leash is used to keep them safe. I have successfully used components of behavior analysis to build trust and confidence in my own dogs, while also ensuring that I understand their own behavioral cues to prevent stress in new or different situations. This includes shaping behaviors, frequent reinforcement, and pairing with new dogs to demonstrate that I am a safe person in their environment. Should transportation ever need to occur, I have a seat belt that clips to any standard harness as well as a seat cover that prevents climbing over the center console. I have a number of 6-foot leashes as well as 2 30-foot leashes to allow for safe running in open spaces, and an expandable 10-foot leash.
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“Ormari was excellent! My cat is normally shy but Ormari got her to be playful and friendly. She gave detailed reports each visit and went above and beyond making sure my kitty was taken care of. Highly recommend her!”
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.
“Sarah was very helpful, communicative, and friendly. She made our new puppy happy and comfortable despite him being afraid of most things. She also communicated anything that was out of the norm for our puppy and asked questions when needed.”
“Colleen was fabulous for drop-in visits while we were away on vacation: super responsive, thorough communication, and affectionate with our cats. We’ll definitely book with Colleen again!”
“Trustable, dependable, friendly, competent, compassionate, knowledgeable. Zania is everything one would want in a pet sitter. My babies were loved and didn’t even notice that I was gone!”
“Malia did a great job with Darin! She followed instructions, sent a lot of pics and notes. Husband came home to a happy pup, and our home was treated with care and respect. Would absolutely book her again!”
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.
“Was quick to respond, very helpful in making sure thay not only was my doggy OK, but that i turned off my hot hair tool! Will be reaching out again for any other visits in the future :)”
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
“Jen is an incredible pet sitter. Our dog Maisie is a rescue with issues and Jen was so understanding and willing to work with her - and her relationship with Maisie is excellent! Jen also takes great care of of two bun buns - she also has a pet rabbit so she is a knowledgeable caregiver and cuddle for them. Jen goes above and beyond pet care - she has voluntarily brought in packages for us and yesterday when I returned I noticed that she had brought both our trash and recycling containers up to the house from the street.”
“After a last minute pet sitter cancellation, I was scrambling trying to find a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter for a weekend trip. I stumbled upon the Rover app where I connected with Tyler. He is a phenomenal pet sitter! He is prompt, professional, and really easy to communicate with. He provided me with daily logs, photos, and updates; which was so nice to see. I highly recommend Tyler! We will 10/10 book with him again.”
“Lexie is great! She was able to take care of our puppy last minute and was so kind, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind to leave him with her. It’s obvious she really loves animals. We are super grateful for an awesome sitter!”
About: I have been a cat owner for more than two decades. I have helped family and friends with their dogs over the same amount of time. I currently work full-time, but I have set days off and every other weekend I am also available to pet sit. I can work walks into my schedule easily, but sitting only a few times a week. I do not bring pets home with me since we have limited space, but I am more than fine at your place. I keep the place clean if your puppers has an accident.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lancaster is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
Lisseth did a wonderful job with my two cats. She sent photos, wrote detailed updates, and both of my cats warmed to her immediately. I could tell from the photos that they were comfortable with her. It's always tough leaving my pets when I leave town, but Lisseth made me feel a lot better because I knew someone who cared was with them. I'm always nervous that my cats will get outside, but Lisseth was very attentive and made sure our wonky door was closed and locked behind her. I'd highly recommend Lisseth!
Rachel gave great care to my cats! I was out of town for an extended period of time and she did extra things like bring in my mail when it accumulated, which was greatly appreciated. She showed up on time and left detailed report cards. I feel comfortable that they received wonderful care while I was out of town and am grateful to Rachel for providing it.
This was our second time using Mai to watch our two cats and they did a stellar job. We were gone for a few weeks and I never worried about my 3 boys in Mai's care. They sent so many great photos and videos at every check-in and I could tell the cats were well taken care of. Thank you once again for the stellar care you gave to our fur babies!
Emily watched our two cats for a week, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Between a sick baby at home, a few last-minute schedule changes, and me accidentally mixing up the dates, I definitely didn't make things easy on her. Through it all, Emily was incredibly professional, understanding, flexible, and communicative. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our two girls while we were away. She kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind, and treated our home with the same care she gave our pets. We came home to two happy cats and a house that was exactly as we had left it. We would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Selfishly, I almost don't want to recommend her because I'd like her to be available for our next trip! 😊
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.
Alyra was great! I accidentally had the wrong address associated with my Rover account. Alyra promptly sent me a message notifying me of this error and went to the other (correct) address. Luna was so spoiled by Alyra! I got photos after every visit and Alyra was very communicative about my little girl!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,229 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lancaster. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
