About: I cared for my friend’s dog while she was out of town, making sure he was fed, walked, and loved like my own. That experience showed me how much I enjoy giving pets the attention and comfort they need when their people are away. I'm patient, reliable, and treat every pet like family! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I enjoy being active and love spending time with animals. Whether it's early morning walks or evening check-ins, I make time each day to give pets the care and attention they deserve. It never feels like a chore—it’s something I genuinely enjoy! Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep the environment calm and clean, and I always give them plenty of attention and affection like they’re my own.

About: Hi! I’m Shannie, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with my sweet dog, Reese’s a Pomeranian, who was part of my family from fifth grade through my sophomore year of college. Having him taught me that pets aren’t “just animals” they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, whether that meant feeding them, taking them on walks, playing fetch, giving them lots of love and attention, or simply keeping them company while their owners were away. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I typically take dogs outside every 2–4 hours (or more often if they’re puppies or have specific needs) and always follow the schedule and routine their owners provide. Whether your pup is energetic or prefers relaxing cuddles, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them happiest. I provide potty breaks every 2–4 hours (or more often for puppies or dogs with specific needs), always keep fresh water available, and wipe paws after walks to help keep your pup clean and comfortable. I’m also comfortable using harnesses, crates if requested, and reinforcing any training you’re already working on. I’ve even taught a few dogs basic commands like “sit” and “shake.” While you’re away, you’ll never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can see all the fun they’re having and know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hi, my name is Angela! I am naturally active and have grown up in a household that has had life long fur babies in my family for as long as I could remember. I’ve become very hands on when it comes to four legged best friends. I’ve also had a few years of assisting at a doggy daycare and boarding (BHV), so very comfortable with instructions on special diets or medications to be given. My experience does include dogs and cats. I am happy to help and assist you with your fur baby! I am pretty much available in the evenings, but do typically have a day off Monday - Friday. If you should have any questions, please let me know. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby!
About: I’m a caring, attentive pet sitter who treats every animal like they’re my own! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including young kittens and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, walks, administering medications and cleaning up after pets. Every animal has their own routine and comfort level and I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos! I follow instructions carefully and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule. I’m attentive and careful with doors, gates, leashes, food and medications. I keep their environment clean and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection.
About: Hello, I am so excited to have a new friend in your pet!!! My name is April and I love cats and dogs but I don't have any of my own. I love dog sitting and walking them too. I'm working from home at the moment and getting out to walk a dog is just what I need to keep me sane. I have a few families that I sit for on the regular and the dogs have become like friends. My schedule is pretty flexible so if you have any questions let me know. I have my own vehicle and do not work my regular jobs on the weekdays so this works out perfect for me. Can't wait to meet you and your fur babies and cats.
“Shara went above and beyond for my boy! She made sure he was happy, safe and well kept everyday for almost a month. We had a little health scare and she even took him to an appointment and gave him care while I was away. Very communicative as well. I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted care giver for their pet.”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve house sat and cared for dogs in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very active with my own dog and go to the dog park daily, so I’m confident handling playful, energetic dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I prioritize safety, consistency, and giving every pet the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to give your pets lots of time and attention. I do have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2pm, but I’m available before and after, as well as all day on other days. I’m usually home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, including trips to the dog park for exercise and socialization. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex with a large dog park available for safe play and exercise. I take pets out for regular potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours and make sure they stay on a consistent routine. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize their safety, whether that means supervising playtime, following feeding schedules, or crating if requested by the owner.
“Rachel did an excellent job when watching our dogs while we were out of town! Her communication was incredible, and I loved the pictures and videos. She was never in a hurry and sometimes stayed longer than expected. We will definitely be using Rachel in the future.”

About: I have a lot of experience with pets, I currently have two small Yorkies at home. They get along with other dogs great, they mostly keep to themselves and both are potty trained. I can pick-up/drop off if needed early or late, and my backyard is fenced and kind of big but not too big. I have a lot of free time since it’s summer and I’m out of college till fall. Frequent walks or runs would be great if your dog is very active. I live in a quite neighborhood near a few parks and walking trails, I try to go running when ever I can. I have dog sat dogs many times and only one cat, no breed preferences. Can provide daily exercise.
About: I’ve helped take care of various dogs and an elderly cat for several years. I am used to going on walks with the pets and needing to give medicine if needed. I love bonding with all animals and am a dog and cat lover alike. I had spent my time previously looking after a cat when the owner would travel for extended periods of time. The cat unfortunately has passed and I am now looking to care for other animals. I am extremely communicative, honest, and patient, and reliable. I do have a full time job however I am more than happy to care in the mornings before 8 AM and in the afternoons after 5:15 PM. I am also available all weekends Friday-Saturday If I am caring for your pet in your home then I will ensure that all needs are met, including yours while you are away. I am extremely communicative and thorough, and will make sure to follow all instructions as needed. I will never do anything to make my clients feel uncomfortable. If in my home, they will be able to relax with ease as I am laidback as well. I do live in apartments that’s requires stairs but that should not be a problem. You can be rest assured that your pet will be comfortable no matter where it is they are!
“Erica is amazing!! She works for us weekly. My boyfriend forgot to leave the key out for her and she went the extra mile to wait for our leasing office to give her access to our apartment. She’s very sweet and our animals LOVE her. She gives them enough playtime and potty breaks. I recommend her as sitter or walker.”
About: As I’ve grown up, I’ve rarely ever not had a pet in my house. I’ve had a Maltese named Mercy for 5 years and many other pets in the past and I love them so much and through taking care of them I’ve grown a love for pets and now feel I can easily grow a bond with almost any animal. This job grants me that opportunity and I absolutely can’t wait to meet you and your pets and take great care of them! I currently have my own dog so I am aware of how much time pets need when caring for them i make my schedule fit to that I provide a protected and clean environment for the pet i always keep fresh water available I will give your pet the space it needs or cuddles if that’s what they need

About: My attention to detail and the pride I take in all my work. Whether it comes to school, my personal work, or taking care of animals, I want to be proud in knowing I did my best! I know how anxiety inducing it can be to leave your animals at home while you’re away or not being able to care for your pet due to unforeseen circumstances. So I want to provide my service to make that easier on you! I can send as many updates and photos and videos as you’d like! I’m also a very active person, I can take your dogs on walks or runs as far as you’d like. I work full time Monday through Friday, but I get off at 3 and always available on weekends. I am beginning to go back to school so I decided to start a side hustle that doesn’t feel like work to me! Taking care of animals genuinely feels like a treat to me. I waited until I had a my own space and steady job before making the decision to get my cat. I knew that I’d rather wait until I could give my pet the best! I believe what you feed your animals and the cleanliness of litter boxes/water/food bowls are extremely important. And I believe animals need lots of attention and mental stimulation!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lancaster is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lancaster choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lancaster with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
