“Angela is an excellent pet sitter - responsible, reliable, always on time, and great at responding right away. My cat loved her and I could not have asked for a better helper. Will definitely reach out again. Highly recommend Angela!”
“Angel was amazing with Kody! She was punctual, communicative, and took great care of him during the drop-in. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely book her again!”
“Alexis was a perfect match for my baby. This was my first time using Rover, and I was nervous. She was communicative, pleasant, and easy to work with. She put my mind at ease. My furbaby LOVED her. I can’t wait to use her again.”
About: hello! I have been taking care of pets of my own and other peoples pets for a total of three years. I truly enjoy it, and I tend to have a lot of fun with them. On the weekends I have generally nothing to do besides going to church on Sunday. During the week I work a 8-5 , Monday night I have something from 6-8:30, Tuesday's nothing, Wednesdays-Thursdays nothing! I have three dogs and two cats of my own at home. I make sure that they are fed accordingly that they are exercised accordingly and that they are taken care of. I understand, that pets need to be taken care of and watched very thoroughly sometimes. So I am willing to do the same for other people’s pets!
About: I have had a love for Animals since I was around 12:00 had my pet for 17 years until he recently passed. I am home work based so able to give full attention to the pet. I work from home and my pet has been with me for 17 years and working from home he has given me that company that I needed while at home working daily I have a very large backyard that is fenced in and that allows the pets to run freely or they can be tied on a Long Leash. The pet can be kept inside I do not suggest caging
About: I've taken care of family and friends pets for years. Experience with cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters, while also helping raise puppies, kittens and baby hamsters. I am a substitute teacher, so my days are flexible. My availability for drop ins/walks are mostly in the afternoons on week days after 4pm and all day/overnight on the weekends to help out when your days get busy. I have a friendly dog who loves making new friends with other dogs and cats. And also have a long walking trail close to home.
About: Pet Care isn’t only my profession, it’s also my passion. I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, rescuing strays, grooming family and friend’s pets to earn new books, and participating in 4H. That developed into working at an animal shelter, fostering and training stay dogs, and horseback competitions. I learned to groom through a mentorship at a grooming and boarding facility, and now specialize with aggressive and anxious dogs who are turned away from other grooming shops! I’m currently in a mentorship for dog training at a training and boarding facility and continue to foster whenever the opportunity arises. My priority is always honest, compassionate, and ethical pet care. I am equally passionate about people as I am about pets, and strive to make myself a judgement-free resource for owners who feel confused, overwhelmed, or out of resources. Whether that’s teaching owners how to properly brush their dog, helping owners understand their pet’s behavior, finding resources, creating solutions for pet problems, assisting with rehoming when life doesn’t go as planned, or even just helping to foster a healthy and confident relationship between owner and pet. I have worked with ALL sizes, ages, and temperaments and I love all of them. I have worked with special needs dogs, and dogs with extra medical requirements. I’m currently working part-time and my job is quite flexible so I have plenty of time for your pups throughout my days. Each week is different but reach out to me and we can work something out! Because of my background working with dogs professionally, I am more structured and safety minded than most but it works in your benefit when leaving your pups in my care. I strive to follow the dog’s usual routines as closely as possible and make sure that exercise, mental stimulation, feeding, and play needs are met according to each pup’s requirements and owner preferences. There is no ‘one size fits all’ care routine when it comes to dogs since they are all individual and different just like people!
About: I started pet setting because of my love of fur babies. To me, they are not pets, they are family. I cared for my Simon for the past 18 years. My house has been customized for him because he was a part of my family. From his own room with pet pictures and a fun chandelier, to the dog doors on our patio, to his own private section of the yard, my home is pet friendly. My home will be your fur baby's home away from home. I have experience with young playful pups all the way to senior dogs who require more delicate attention. My family is ready to assist you in your needs. I am a stay at home mom. My schedule typically involves taking my kids to and from school, sitting on the patio, going for walks around the neighborhood, shooting home decor youtube videos, and shopping. While fur sitting, I will typically be home. Your baby will have its own little room (the closet under the stairs with a baby gate). His room is only a few feet from my own bedroom and in the middle of the living room and kitchen. If your baby is housebroken, he will be able to walk around the house freely and I will take him on the patio and the playground in my backyard. If he likes walks, he can go on walks. If he is a senior or if it is too hot outside, I can take him for a walk in the pet stroller. I will also send videos and pictures throughout his stay. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your dog will not be outside alone. I also have an enclosed patio which is great for relaxing and getting fresh air without having to be completely outside.
About: I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician, with many years of experience with dogs and cats. My kids and I currently foster animals for a local shelter in my area. I have a 18 year old daughter and 22 year old son. We love all animals! I can do drop in visits and doggy daycare on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm available for dog walking during the weekdays after 5pm and hours are flexible for dog walking on Saturday and Sundays. I'm available for boarding Fri, Sat and Sun. I'm open to doing boarding during the week as well, depending on how long your pet can be left alone and how frequently your pet will need potty breaks. Once you request a service we will set a schedule convenient for you and your pet for drop off and pick up. We have a safe and loving environment to cater to your pet needs. We have a fenced home for your pet to run and play and to enjoy their stay. We have 2 dogs. We could also come to your home to provided loving care for your pets.
“My Wife says I love the dog more than her, and any good husband knows not to argue with their wife so that said, our Dog is the most precious thing and I’m always anxious to leave her, not to worry though, Penny loveed AnTuan from the first couple of minutes and it made my few days away from her very stress free. Came back home to happy, stress free dog. Top, top service and helped us at short notice too. Couldn’t recommend him more !!”
About: I am currently a research veterinary technician and am in school to become a veterinarian. I have two dogs, a cat, and a bunch of fish at the moment. I've owned many other types of animals and many dogs in my life ranging in size, age, temperament, and breed. I want to add this to my resume and make some extra money on the side. I also just really love seeing everyone's furbabies and helping out where I can ;) I work full-time Monday-Friday but can be available after 4/5PM those days. Weekends are the most ideal to work with! I am in school part-time but will be taking the summer off. I will only be offering walking and sitting for pets in the client's home/other, not my personal home. Depending on the pet, I like going to parks, trails, and or whatever the client needs. Play time is also a must!
“McKensi was fantastic with our cats while we were aware! We had to book last minute after someone else cancelled, and we are so glad we picked her! The updates she provided were wonderful & she was early each visit! We will absolutely book her for our next trip.”
About: Hi! I’m Roxana, and I’d love to care for your pet like they’re part of our family 🤍 Get $20 off your first Rover booking with the link below. https://www.rover.com/sit/roxanr15345 My husband Eric and I share our home with Sophie, our sweet 9-year-old Yorkie, who plays a big role in our pet-loving household. Sophie is an 8 lb rescue we adopted, she came to us anxious and unsure, and through patience, consistency, and lots of love, she’s grown into an affectionate, playful, and calm companion. That experience taught us so much about building trust with animals and meeting them where they are. We’ve even taught Sophie fun tricks like sit, shake, high-five, and roll over—proof that with the right approach, every dog can learn and thrive! In addition to caring for Sophie, I’ve had both cats and dogs over the years and have also looked after pets for friends and family. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Inside, pets are truly part of the family—whether that’s lounging on the couch or winding down before bedtime. We do ask that you bring a kennel or crate so your pet has a familiar, secure space to relax. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. 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. Sophie is never out front without a harness and leash, and we extend that same level of care to every pet we host.
About: I’m currently a Vet-Tech student with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats through my schooling. I’ve handled, medicated, and cared for pets while making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and a huge animal lover! 🐾💕 I’m currently in school to become a Vet-Tech, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine! I spend a lot of time around dogs and cats throughout the day and truly love being around animals. Other than school, I have a dog named Oreo that I also care for daily. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs to make sure they feel secure. I’m also experienced with feeding schedules, medication, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets lots of patience and affection! 🐾💕
“Mariah is great. I needed last minute care and she was able to help. I met her and her family for a meet and greet and they were so good with my babies. I will definitely have her in mind for future care :).”
About: I have loved and handled pets/animals of all kind since I was a toddler with no fear in sight. Outside of my own pets, most of my family and friends have always had some sort of pet that I have watched or taken care of- dogs, cats, snakes, fish, turtles, ferrets, lizards, some of everything. My grandfather also had a farm with horses, chickens and cattle that my brother and I helped him take care of. I am a substitute teacher, so I don’t work everyday. This also means that I have the summer and holidays off so my flexibility is very high. If I am in someone else’s home caring for their pet, I follow all rules set by the owner for both the pet I’m watching and myself. If I am watching a pet at my home, I make sure everything is very neat and clean so there are no health hazards and they can’t get into things they shouldn’t.

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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
