“Angela is always amazing. She has taken excellent care of our two dogs several times now and, even though one is a senior that requires more attention, we know and trust they’re in great hands with her. Thank you, Angela!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs S’mores and Knox. She came over and met them before dog sitting for the weekend which was really appreciated. She took great care of them, and one of them is a little people shy but he absolutely warmed up to her very fast! Couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“AnTuan was fantastic! He was always very quick to respond and was very flexible with our schedule. It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in such great hands and an even better feeling to come to such happy pups. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Elizabeth was such a godsend! She took great care of our two pugs! She provided several pictures of our pugs while we were away. I find her to be reliable and very good at communicating, will book again! Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“Morgan is an amazing house sitter for Remington! This is our second time booking because WE LOVE MORGAN!! 💗 She is communicative, kind, and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Remington is clearly well cared for and adores Morgan, and my home was once again left in great condition. I will absolutely book with Morgan again! ⭐️”
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I’ve cared, helped, and loved for 10 dogs at one time. I trained, bathed, feed and provided all basic. I’ve had more than a dozen dogs who’ve been pregnant (not at once) but I do know how to care for a pregnant momma and new born puppies. I’m well aware of the do’s and don’ts of pet sitting. Monday - Friday, 6:00pm to midnight longer if needed. Saturday I’m free all day, I’m free Sunday in the morning until 10am and available after 1pm to the rest of the day I feed, bathe, and give them water and take care of all basic necessities. I take them on walks and to the park and give them lots of cuddles! :D
“Azia was great with our Australian Shepherd! She was well cared for and obviously given lots of attention. Azia also communicated with us regularly about how our pup was doing. We’d love to have her watch Millie again!”
About: Hi! I’m Roxana, and I’d love to welcome your pup into our home and care for them like they’re part of our family. 🤍 Get $20 off your first Rover booking with the link below: https://www.rover.com/sit/roxanr15345 I joined Rover because, honestly, I’d love to have a second dog someday! Until that time comes, we’re happy to open our home to pups who need a safe, loving place to stay while their humans are away. We especially love dogs who are affectionate, playful, and have a little more energy. Walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention are all things we genuinely enjoy. We live near a park, so there are lots of opportunities for walks and getting some energy out. Walks are always done with a secure harness, and we have two fully fenced yards where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. We always supervise dogs while they’re in the yard. Our home is set up to make visiting pups feel comfortable. We have extra dog beds, bowls, and treats (with your permission!), and dogs are welcome to relax with us throughout the day. We also love bringing dogs along for car rides when we’re running errands. If your pup is happiest being included in the action, they’ll fit right in here. I’ve had both cats and dogs throughout my life and have cared for pets for friends and family as well. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, quirks, preferences, and what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether your pup needs lots of activity, a quiet place to decompress, extra cuddles, or a little bit of everything, my goal is for them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your dog isn’t just staying at our house, they’re staying with us. 🐾🤍 I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ✨ My schedule is flexible! I work from home 2–3 days a week (and even more during the holidays), which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine. ✨ Safety & Comfort First Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities. We have a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and I always supervise time outside. Dogs never go into public spaces without a harness and leash.
“Rebecca was great with my dog Nacho! Friendly, communicative, and kind. She had great attention to detail and made me aware of a small rash on his muzzle and cleaned it up. She was flexible and understanding when I experienced travel disruptions and left my apartment spotless. Will def book with her again in the future!”
“Hannah sat for our 3 dogs on short notice. So appreciative for her! Super sweet, active with our pups and kept us updated with pics and messages. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I am a fourth-year medical student at UT Southwestern, preparing to graduate and begin residency. Over the past 2–3 years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, primarily helping my roommates by looking after their pets while they are away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, providing companionship, and making sure their dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. As a medical student, I understand the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. I take these qualities seriously and bring the same level of dedication to caring for pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I prioritize following instructions, maintaining routines, and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind. Whether it’s taking your dog on a walk, keeping them company, or caring for them while you’re away, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for both you and your pet! As a fourth-year medical student approaching graduation, I currently have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. With a lighter academic workload during my final year, I am looking to make the most of my free time by pursuing pet sitting as both an enjoyable hobby and an opportunity to earn some extra income. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to use this flexibility to help pet owners who need someone reliable and caring. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I am happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I currently live in a condo that provides a comfortable, clean, and safe indoor environment where your fur baby will be welcomed and cared for. Our community also has a gated dog yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and take care of their business under my supervision. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and specific needs, so I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medications, or other preferences. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am equally committed to respecting their space and maintaining their pet’s normal routine. As a fourth-year medical student, I value responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. I am always happy to provide regular updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away!
About: I've had animals in my life since birth, literally. My mom is a veterinarian and raised me to be just like her. It worked 😅 I am an aspiring veterinarian with a lifetime of experience when it comes to caring for the furry, scaly, aquatic, or just different members of the family! I have worked as a vet tech, so if your pet needs any sort of medication, I am highly qualified for medical administration as well. I am a full-time master's student at OSU. Most of my "free time" centers around the weekends but I do have more limited availability during the week as well. No matter where I am, I vow to provide any pet with the utmost amount of care. I specialize in belly rubs, butt scratches, and laser pointers. Also, if you want your pet's nails trimmed or anal glands expressed, I can do that too 😂
“Excellent dogsitter! Our dog was happy, well -loved and well attended to. The house was spotless. We will definitely have Clover sit again and would recommend her highly.”
“Alice was amazing! Her communication throughout the day was stellar, she was always swift to respond my texts and sent photos and videos at consistent morning, afternoon evening milestones. All those efforts really allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my little one was in good hands. I will definitely be a regular.”
“Heather is an outstanding dog sitter! She communicates constantly, she followed all the instructions and rules. She is super kind, helpful and friendly. True professional. Will definitely work with her again.”

Sarah did a fantastic job watching my two pups. She has a special way with animals. One of mine dogs is a troubled eater and somehow she got him to eat his food after every meal. She sent updates and asked good questions. I will definitely use her again when needed!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend AnTuan! AnTuan was absolutely amazing! He stepped in last minute over a holiday weekend, and we appreciate him sooooo much for showing up when we truly needed help. He took wonderful care of our fur babies and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our girls were happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved. AnTuan was reliable, communicative, and treated our home and pets with great care. It truly felt like leaving them with family. We are incredibly grateful for his support and would 100% book him again without hesitation. If you’re looking for a dependable, kind, and caring sitter, AnTuan is the one! Flo & Marv 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lancaster is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $72 per night. 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 3,603 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lancaster walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lancaster maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lancaster. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
