About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.
“Allie was amazing with all three of our animals, she definitely went the extra mile to give us peace of mine while we were on vacation. She sent multiple updates throughout the day along with pictures and videos. You can tell she's a animal lover and our animals loved her! We will definitely be rebooking on our next vacation!!”
“We have just started using Jacquelyn as our sitter for daily visits and she is great!! The animals and us love her! I have two cats and two dogs and she is so great with all of them and I feel so good knowing my pets are being cared for during the day!”
“I can not fully express my Gratitude to Brittany. She is an amasing person, and there was a full connect from day one with Jett, which makes her a great sitter. She was on top of daily routines, always on time and Jett had such a great time with Brittany. Jett and I we personally will be recommending her to anyone who has needs on leaveing their loved pawmily members under Brittany's supervision.”

About: I can do the basic grooming like bathing and nail cutting. I have 2 dogs of my own who are well taken care of as your dog would be. I treat my dogs like family and i will do the same for your dog. Puppys will be taken out every hr adult dogs will be taken out every 2hrs unless told different by owners. All dogs will be walked for at least 1hr each. There is no better way to put it other than your animals will be taken care of like family. They deserve no less than to be loved, spoiled, and taken care of. If there were to ever come a day where we needed them to take care of us they would do the same.
“Thank you o much, Melanie is the best ever. She not only took care of my baby but she stay with him a little longer then she had to, to make sure he was ok when she realized he was a little upset and anxious. I will be call Melanie again the next time I’m out of town.”

About: I love animals! I have worked with dogs for many years at dog shelters and watching my neighbors dogs when I was younger! I am a reliable, trustworthy, and a dog mom myself! My goal is to make your fur baby feel at home when away from home and provide the best care when you are away so you can be worry free, your fur baby will be in good hands with me! I work full time but have flexibility and off Fridays and can accommodate weekend travelers when you can’t travel with the furry babies! I am a very outdoors type of person and will take your dog with me on long walks to get energy out or we can cuddle on the couch if they prefer that too! My home is there home and they are allowed in all furniture🐶 We live in a house with a fenced in yard and I have a pet camera so if your pet is left alone for an hour or two they will be monitored through the camera! My dog will always be separate from yours when no one is home to ensure safety! I will always feed dogs separate as well!
About: Apart from caring for my own family's dogs over the years, I helped with my friend's parents dog sitting service in high school. I volunteered with a cat rescue in Greenville, SC for 3 years before moving back to my hometown. My mom calls me her "resident vet", and calls on me for baths, nail trimmings, and care any time her dog has an upset stomach or injury. I admittedly will talk to your pet like they are a human child, and will very well come up with a song about them during their care. I am trustworthy, dependable, (goofy) and committed to giving your pet the best care possible. I look forward to helping make sure your pet is well cared for while you are away! I currently work from home Monday-Friday 11:30am-8pm, and would only be available to provide overnight pet sitting services if I have WiFi and a space to work available in your home! I will not be caring for pets in my home, but I will be respectful and tidy in your home. Each walk and visit will come with a paper log of when your pet ate, how our walk(s) went, and any notable concerns or praise!
About: I previously cat/dog and house sat while living in NYC and Los Angeles, and now North/South Carolina. I walked the dogs several times daily, prepared special meals as directed and kept them company. With cats, I made sure their litter boxes were clean and they had their meals and medications. Up until recently, I had threesenior dogs, a chi-weenie and a dachshund. The dachshund had back trouble so I took her to the acupuncturist and chiropractor, she also had chronic UTI so she was on medications. One of my dogs had seizures, so I had special diets and medications for her. I would love to meet you & your pet! I am currently working outside the house - so weekday care might be difficult if you need someone at your home during the day. I can be available evenings and weekends, and depending on the specific case, I could make arrangements during the day. I can walk your pet around your neighborhood. I like to make sure that they have some reflective tapes/leash in case we're out at night.
About: I have raised two puppies and have been a pet owner all my life! I live right next to a dog park and a lake and love to go on walks! I’m a recent graduate so don’t have any classes and can devote all time to loving and caring for your pet! My daily or weekly routine can be adjusted to fit the needed schedule of a given pet! I am a student with online only classes. I pay attention to details, am loving, nurturing, and flexible to cater to the needs of each pet. I have a low traffic living space making it easy for animals to keep low levels of stress and high levels of safety.

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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
