“We needed a last minute sitter ASAP and Kelsey was so quick to respond and understanding! She took such good care of Tootsie! This was my first time using Rover and Kelsey left such a good impression on us, I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“While I was on my honeymoon, Justin did more than a phenomenal job. My husband and I have never used rover before and have a ton of cats (6 inside and 10+ strays we feed). Justin kept me up to date everyday with great photos, told me how they were doing and made sure they ate and we're fine without us haha. If I could ever only recommend one person, it would be Justin. He is absolutely fantastic and if you're looking for someone to take care of your animal while you are gone, Justin is your guy.”

“Christina is absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very start, she was prompt, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. It was obvious she treated them like her own. What really stood out was how communicative she was throughout the entire time. Regular updates and quick responses. It gave me such peace of mind. When I had to make a last-minute change to our plans, Christina adapted effortlessly without missing a beat. She was so accommodating and made what could have been a stressful situation completely seamless.”

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: I’ve been pet sitting for approximately 8 years, beginning in middle school when I started helping my mom care for pets in our community. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away from home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am able to accommodate pet care visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting, and I do my best to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed. I am reliable, consistent, and always communicate clearly about my availability so pet parents know what to expect. environment in every visit. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to detail, keep doors and entry points secure, and treat every home with respect. I also make sure pets are supervised during visits and receive patient, attentive care based on their individual needs and personality. My goal is to create a safe and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, haven’t yet met an animal that didn’t like me. I have experience with difficult dogs, nervous and overly excitable fur missiles. I’m willing to work with them as long as I feel safe to do so but im not a trainer, I don’t know how to make them unlearn bad behaviors and learn good ones. Right now I don’t have a regular full time job, I have been searching and applying but no offers as of yet. I have no kids or pets of my own so I’m available at nearly any time, from drop-in visits to overnight sitting. I understand letting a stranger into your home is unsettling, I don’t take it for granted and I’ll do my best to respect your home and pets. I don’t currently have my own home, I live with others so I’m unable to board pets. It tends to be less stress anyways for the pet to stay home where they are in a familiar environment. Unless they have a rigid routine involving sleeping in your bed with you, and won’t go to bed otherwise, I tend to stay on the couch.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family home since I was about 10 years old! I’ve watched about 3 different dogs all at the same time and each had different needs. I love animals and playing with them and cuddling with them. Since I was 10 I’ve watched my families dogs and then I branched out to friends as well! I watched pets up until my 2 year of college as I lost a lot of my clients as my schedule got too hectic unfortunately. I am looking to help again as my roommates dog has reminded me how much I miss helping with pets and interacting with them. I am familiar with the puppy stages and all the love and care that it entails I am not scared of any animal not matter the shape and size! The bigger the pet the better the cuddles! My childhood dog is an older puppy so I’m familiar with giving medicine and massages for the older pups! As of right now I unfortunately lost my job due to my location closing down. I am wide open most days all day of of right now but I will be updating my schedule as frequently as possible for the convenience of my clients! I love to play with dogs and I can follow pet instructions very well! I’m not scared to give medicine and supplements and I love to walk dogs and snuggle. I’m also happy to just keep pets company and can bring things to do if your pet just wants people around!

About: I have lived on a farm and owned pets my whole life! I love animals and I'm very accustomed to taking care of them. I also occasionally house-sit and pet-sit for close friends and family! I am currently a part time college student in Lynchburg and I only have a residential class one day a week. I do work part time as a server so some days I might have to take care of your pet until I go to work in the afternoon and then return in the evening. Dog/house sitting works better for me because I live on a farm with lots of other animals, which can make it tricky to keep other pets in the house.

About: My family owned dogs and cats all my life. Once I got old enough to take on responsibility, I started feeding, bathing, walking, and cleaning up after my pets. I love pets of all kind and I've owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and guinea pigs. I currently have 8 dogs of my own which are 7 American bullies and one Boston Terrier (Abel, Nyx, Hella, Cash, Holly, Buckshot, Zarah, and Maddie) a gecko named Leroy, and a baby quaker parrot, named Sully. I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs. I love spending time with my pets as well as getting to know and spend time with others. I understand the importance of doing what is asked by the owner of the pets! If you want someone that is a huge animal lover and who is reliable and trustworthy, look no further! I can't wait to hear from you and meet your fur baby !! I currently work full time, my days off vary and change a lot due to be being in management. I am normally available early in the day. If we have already pre booked something, and my work schedule changes, I will still make accommodations to make sure your baby is taken care of! While caring for your pet inside your home, I will do exactly what you ask of me and treat your fur baby and your property with respect. I will love and care for your baby as if they were my own and make sure the house is left in the same condition it was in before I arrived.

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $37 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 3,579 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
