About: I currently have 4 husky pups that are very well socialized and would love more friends to play with. I also work with rescue groups to help pups in need. I have never met a pup I didn’t love! I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized. I also feel like meet and greets are important to ensure your pup(s) interact well with mine. Safety is my number one concern. As I have stated mine are well socialized and I want nothing more to help others socialize theirs as well. Safety is a top priority in my home. I do accept puppies you well you just need to message me separately is we can discuss. My yard is fully fenced in and almost a 1/2 acre. I stop my work day to play fetch it for them for about an hour.
“I was very happy with the care Sam received. Brenda is very patient and knowledgeable. Sam was very shy and she worked with that. He loved running with her. Her daughter was amazing with him. He followed her everywhere. He also got along with Brenda’s pets. I have already booked her again.”

We have a big backyard with a fence. 2 1/2 acres of woods with trails to play in & for fun walks. My 4 kids even love dogs! Our dogs are like our kids. Every pet we had has a special place in our hearts. I am partly remote worker. My husband is home most of the day. We have no problem with scheduling. We only require 24 hours notice. We have a big kitchen, living room and dining room open space. We have a big backyard. The backyard is completely fenced in. We have a big double kennel dog crate depending on the dogs preference how to sleep. We like to keep the doggie’s uncaged & happy as much as possible..
“Heather was great! I needed her super last minute and she was a great communicator, very flexible and accommodating. Thank you Heather I’m so grateful I found you! We’ll define back soon for Bailey to play. 😊”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and started dog sitting at a young age. I currently have 2 dogs and would gladly welcome your pet into the mix. I feel that dogs truly are our best friends so you can rest assured they will be well taken care of when they're with me. I've watched puppies, seniors and I've even watched a dog that just got out of surgery. I freelance as a photographer and I spend part of my day editing which means plenty of time with your dog! I will make sure your pet gets lots of attention and play time. I walk the dogs daily and have a TON of toys. I have 2 dogs that can play with and keep your dog company. I have crates if needed as well. Dogs will be leashed in my yard at all times but I have parks near by to make sure they get exercise.
“great dog sitter! Laura took great care of our pup, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again!😊”
“Genie loved Sarah’s home and the dogs. Sarah and kids took very good care of Genie, kept me updated on his walks and interactions with the other dogs and was very accommodating to our last minute changes. Would definitely recommend.”
“After going through a few people and having terrible experiences and can as say alexis brought my trust back in rover. She updated me about my puppy at every step to the point I felt like i was there with her. I absolutely loved that. My puppy seemed to really be enjoying her time with Alexis and her dogs. I will definitely be using her service again.”
About: Over the last 12 years, I’ve cared for dogs of every temperament, including shy rescues and sweet seniors. I specialize in creating a calm, low-stress environment where dogs feel safe and respected. I'm patient, attentive to physical needs, and happy to stick strictly to their comfort zones. I’m working from home, so I am very flexible to offer my services! Since I work from home, I have a highly flexible schedule! I'm available for daytime drop-ins, flexible boarding, and plenty of active breaks. Your pet will enjoy consistent attention and companionship all day long. When staying with me, your pet gets the ultimate work-from-home companion experience! Since I am home all day, they will enjoy constant company, cozy nap spots, and frequent potty and play breaks in a safe, fully supervised environment. I keep your pet’s daily routine perfectly on track to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. For dogs, I offer structured walks and plenty of play. For cats, I provide fresh food, pristine litter boxes, and gentle, boundary-respecting attention. You can expect secure home check-ups and happy photo updates with every single visit!
“Absolutely the best!!!! My pups were well taken care of. I received wonderful photos well me and hubby were out attending a birthday celebration for our two grandchildren two hors away. I highly recommend and will definitely use again if before September. Since they are making a move to Texas. We wish them well and really wish they were staying and had used them sooner. Thank you for loving our babies.”
“My dogs were happy and obviously well taken care of when we picked them up. She treated them with love and care as if they were her own pets. She stayed in touch by sending pictures while we were out of town and was very flexible with the drop off and pick up time. I use Christina again as a set sitter when we need to go out of town.”
“I have never left my 8-year old beagle, Cody with anyone other than immediate family, and I couldn't have been happier of the way Karlee and her dogs "kept a good eye" on Cody. Karlee got to experience how much of a cuddler Cody is, and it gave him a much-needed opportunity to interact with other dogs, especially dogs that are bigger. Karlee is a very "upbeat" and positive person, and a real dog lover, so I would recommend her to anyone in the Charlotte area.”
About: Hey everyone , I’m Megan! I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My husband and I adopted our rescue lab mix pup Chloe about 9 years ago and she is very loveable, cuddly, and the friendliest dog ever. I am a nurse and only work 3 days a week so I’m looking to hang out with some new dogs on my days off and give Chloe someone to play with ! We have a large fenced in back yard to run around and play and also have lots of places around the neighborhood to go for walks. We are also fine just lounging around the house and watching tv if that is more your dogs style! Chloe and I can’t wait to meet and take care of your loved ones :) I work 3 days a week as a nurse and am home two days plus the weekend with my 4 year old daughter and infant son. My husband also works from home 3 days a week so someone is always home! I’m currently looking to do drop in visits on my days off as well as dog boarding! When I’m caring for a dog, I treat them just like I would my own! I will be very respectful of the rules that the owner has in place.
“Freddy had a great day with Monie along with her 2-legged and 4-legged family members! He made friends with everyone, enjoyed belly rubs, treats, adventures in the back yard and treats! Everything went really well - he will be back! I highly recommend Monie!”
About: I adore animals and their personalities. I have animals of my own! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats. 2 of my dogs are babies 8 months and 9 months old, 3 month old kitten. I’m up every morning walking feeding changing puppy pads as I’m in the process of potty training 2 puppies also in the process of litter box training my kitten. I try to stay on a routine especially for the animals, if that involves feeding medication exercise. My animals stay on a schedule every morning and every night.
“My simba is very pick about the care givers. He likes only homely atmosphere, in that also he is very picky. Victoria is awesome and Simba enjoys her care given and her pets .”
“Olive was at Tabitha’s first time and he was well take care of. She was very patient and gave him time to adjust to the new environment. Olive came back home a happy dog which speaks to how much he enjoyed his day with Tabitha and her dogs.”
About: We are a loving family of 4 who love to care for dogs. We are seeking dogs who are kid-friendly because we do have two kids (10 & 11 yrs old) who help lend a hand in caring for your doggie. I work from home most days and am able to give your pup lots of attention. If we leave the house it’s not usually for more than 2 hours. If we are watching a puppy, we adjust our routine to the puppy’s needs. We have a fenced in yard and love caring for dogs in our home. We often go for hikes and love to go to the dog park too, so please let us know if you foresee any issues with this so we can make adjustments to our routine as needed. All breeds welcome, but no aggressive dogs allowed. Dogs must be house trained (with the exception of puppies).
About: I grew up with dogs in my home since I was a child. I moved to Charlotte in 1999 and got my Jack Russell Terrier Norman and he was so loved he lived until 18 1/2! I thought I’d give it some time before I got another dog but we ended up getting Coco two weeks later and Enzo several months later. The humans in my household are me, my husband, Chris and my two teenage sons, Greyson (17) and Cayden (16). We all love dogs! I’ll be the only caregiver of your pet but just wanted to include who else is in our home. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m home to give your dog the care he or she needs. My two dogs are very friendly and love to play! I worked for a veterinarian in college so I’ve been around many types of dogs and cats. At my house dogs are family. They are allowed on our furniture and sleep in our bed. We have a huge fenced in yard with a 6 foot privacy fence.

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 SC 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 1,083 sitters in Lancaster, 87% 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.
