“Once again, Julie took great care of our senior kitty, Lilly. Julie is dependable, good communication & takes great photos. Lilly gives her 4 paws up! Our return flight home kept getting delayed. We weren’t sure if we would B able 2 fly out. In a panic, I texted Julie. She said she would care 4 Lilly in the morning if we couldn’t fly out, which was a huge peace of mind! We did fly out late that night. We appreciated Julie working w/us last minute & during a stressful panic:) Thanks again Julie!”
“Erin did an amazing job caring for our kitten. She was attentive, friendly, and kind. She provided excellent care for our little kitty and even went out of her way to take care of her. We would highly recommend Erin for anyone else and would happily ask her to help support our kitten in the future if needed.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!
“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!”
“I trust Mai always to take care of Sofía and Tomas. Not only does she provide security, care and feeding, she genuinely loves spending time with my cats, and I know they feel that love with their favorite pet caretaker!”
“Sydney did a great job visiting my cats twice daily during my vacation. She even learned to give Big Boi Peter his insulin shot! She is real cat lover too, and could not be more perfect to leave your fur babies with.”
“Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of Axel for us! We know he’s a big boy and difficult to handle. We would love for you to come back again and help us out!”
“We found Malia on sort of short notice and she was terrific during the drop-in visits with our old girl, Tink. Tink has numerous health concerns and anxiety, which Malia handled with ease, having to carry her on the stairs due to her senility and poor eyesight, give her pills and follow special feeding instructions. She was even willing to make an extra drop-in as I was nervous about leaving Tink too long. She made both of us feel at ease seeing the photos of Tink carrying on with her usual outside play and then resting in her bed. I will be scheduling her again!!”
“Hilary was absolutely amazing with Tron. She showed up at the perfect time and was extremely kind and courteous. I will definitely be rebooking for future events!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“We are repeat customers of Ashleigh and John!! They go above and beyond for our pets. We can tell they really care about them!! Our trip was over the Fourth of July and they took special care to make sure our dog was comforted during the fireworks. 100% recommend these awesome pet sitters!”
“We’re so grateful for Austin and his patience, care, and attention to detail for our dog. He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable, watered, pottied, and loved. We’ll be booking him again!”
“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!”
“Zania is an exceptional dog keeper! She’s so thoughtful about my boy SAMSON! He wasn’t feeling his best today and she took all the right precautions and some. Thank you so much.”
“Ormari always does a great job! Great communication, lots of adorable photos, and she always ensures that our cats get a little play time while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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.”
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.
“Alexis is the best!! I was so impressed with how many pictures she sent us after each visit and it certainly warmed my heart to see how much my pet adored her. I will certainly be booking in the future. Thank you Alexis for everything you did!!”

Kyleigh was an AMAZING sitter to our kitten while we were away for the week. She went above and beyond during the stays and made me feel so comfortable leaving him for the first time since we’ve adopted him! She sent constant photos, videos, and updates and was great at entertaining his high-energy self :) I highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking her anytime I need a sitter in the future!!
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 .
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 August 2026, there are 2,158 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
