“Ashleigh was amazing. Very friendly and great with my highly concerned daughter. She sent descriptive messages and pictures each day and was great with playing with the cats, cuddles, and even managed to get my older, cranky cat his meds. She even brought in two packages we forgot were on the way! Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a love for them. Growing up, my family had both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also had experience watching dogs of all different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior dog who needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I’m very loving, patient, and dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time during the week, but I am available for pet drop-in visits anytime after 3:30 PM on weekdays. I also have open availability on the weekends. I am happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get the attention, care, and love they need while you’re away! I make sure to follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and whatever care they need. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and follow any specific instructions their owner provides.
“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! ☺️”
“Omari was a great cat sitter! She did exactly what we asked her to do and made sure to make time to play with our cat and snuggle with her! We'd definitely ask her to cat sit for us again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Mikayla came to every appointment on time, sent me pictures of my cats and communicated to me what she did. It was a relief to know my cats were being taken care of. Awesome job, Mikayla! 😊 Thank you!”
“Heather has been a consistent sitter I've used for a little while now. She's been quick with communication and overall a nice person to chat with. Thanks Heather!”
“Sydney was great. She sent me texts, pictures and sometimes little videos of my two cats reassuring me that they were being well taken care of. I would definitely rebook her for future vacations.”
About: Hi! I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals since I was small. In addition to cat and dog sitting, I have taken care of other people's horses, cows, and hogs. I love taking long walks and would love to care for your four legged friends! Right now, overnight house and pet sitting is the best fit. I'm a theatre artist and have some shows lined up for the fall. I would also be able to do mid-day walks. Unfortunately, because I share with several room-mates, I would have to care for your pet in your home. However, I am responsible and detail oriented, and would take good care of your space while I'm there.
“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!”
“Shareem was great with our 2 cats! They're usually hesitant around strangers but warmed up to her very quickly. She went above and beyond building a rapport and comforting them during fireworks. We will definitely look to hire Shareem again!”
“Chloe is such a wonderful sitter for my two cats! She takes great care of them and sends lots of pictures/ updates while I am away. Chloe has watched them twice now, and I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. :)”
“I found Ella at the last minute and so thankful! I appreciated the constant communication as she sent me pics at each visit with an update. Ella was so patient with Smokey Joe as it does take him a few days to warm to people. She also helped with meds. I will definitely reach out to Ella in the future to care for Smokey!”
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: Thank you for reading! My name is Bella and I’m 26 years old living in Lancaster city. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and connect with them super easily. I’ve cared for my cat Juniper for almost 5 years, and am familiar with but am not directly responsible for caring for my Mom’s black lab and my roommates two dachshunds. I follow instructions very well and am detail oriented, punctual and professional. I understand how this process can feel risky as you’re entrusting the well being of your pet in someone else’s hands. I look forward to earning your trust and caring for your pet as if they were my own. :) I’m living and working in the city and have free time most days of the week before 4pm. Some days I am available after 7pm and some its closer to 9pm. I will communicate my availability to you and try my best to be flexible with whatever you need! I keep a clean home for my pets and regularly clean the litter box, trim nails and groom them before they get uncomfortable. I stick to a potty schedule with a timer on my phone when watching dogs and am very conscientious about set dinner times and with refilling water bowls.
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!

I have booked with Kelsey multiple times now and she is seriously the best. Always reliable and professional and truly cares about my pets. She sent tons of updates during my time away and even got my super timid cat to come out and play/snuggle with her!! I cannot recommend Kelsey enough!
Colleen took care of our 4 cats for 10 days while we were away on vacation. She gave them lots of love and attention as well as taking care of all of their daily needs. One of our cats needs medication and Colleen gave it to her with ease. Her daily updates and photos were wonderful! She described in great detail how each of the cats were doing and reading them always made me smile. Colleen went above and beyond in everything she did. She is a sweet and caring person and we would not hesitate for a second to have her watch our cats in the future. Thank you so much, Colleen, for taking such good care of our cats! And thank you to Rover for providing such a wonderful service!
Zania is truly the most professional and attentive dog sitter that I have ever hired. She took excellent care of Rex and even provided me with some helpful insights. I e joyed my time away knowing Rex would be lovingly cared for. I highly recommend Zania and plan to hire her again!
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 .

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lancaster is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $38 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 2,094 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
