“Michael and family were great! He was very responsive and checked in every day. You could tell he cared for my fur baby and took great care of her. He listened to her routine and also spoiled her with lots of snuggles and attention. I’m not sure she actually wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Michael- and I will be sending my fur baby to daycare camp with him again!”
“Happily rescheduled our vacation to make sure our dog could stay here again. He always comes back to me extremely happy, Charissa is like a second home to Cosmo, as long as she’s willing to have him I’ll always rebook with her”
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Angelita is accommodating and her prices are reasonable. She was quick to respond to my request and she welcomed Aurora into her home with open arms. She texted me updates and photos to make sure I knew how things went. She also responded quickly to texts from me checking in. I will definitely book with Angelita again when I am in need of a sitter for our dog.”
“Cynthia and her Husband Lance were welcoming and willing to help us out last minute. They took really good care of of dog and made him feel like home. Would 100% recommend them! Thank you again!”
“Tara and Ben took great care of our Lulu. She sent pictures and was communicated with us the whole time. Seems like Lulu made a new friend with Tara’s dog Stanley. We will book her again definitely:)”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“Ashley, Kyle and family welcomed Teddy and us and made all of us feel comfortable. Teddy noticed us leaving but didn't fuss much as he had a couple of children to play with. It was only a two night booking, but we were happy to receive a pic of him enjoying himself on Saturday. Pickup went smooth. Teddy and all his belongings were packed and waiting for us. Ashley gave a little report of his stay, encluding his eating and potty breaks. If we are back in the Lancaster area again, we'll be looking for Ashley & Kyle on Rover. I'm sure Teddy would be happy too. Thank you!”
“Ashley&jerrell was GREAT, it was our 1st time leaving our pup for a couple days and they made it soooo easy, and comfortable for all of us. Too sending us pictures and videos and quick response when we wanted to know how he was doing. Overall just Great 🫶 thank you”
“We love Grace! Our pup has stayed with her several times and although our doggie is very shy around people she doesn’t know, she is comfortable at Grace’s. Definitely will book again!”
“I would definitely recommend Sarah for watching your dog. She took such good care of my Murphy while I was away on an unexpected work trip. Sarah sent lots of pictures and updates. Murphy seemed right at home there on her big comfy couch.”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“Kyle was extremely responsive, patient, and attentive with both of my dogs. He was an excellent sitter who truly cared. My dogs had a great time! I will definitely ask Kyle to watch my dogs again in the future”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away. I am comfortable following crate training routines, feeding schedules, walking and potty schedules, medication instructions, and any other specific instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“Amber did an amazing job with Leo, for our first time using this app it was a great experience. She was great at communicating and went above and beyond for our pup 5/5 stars would definitely recommend”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
Betsy and her husband Ron always take wonderful care of our fur baby. He gets plenty of walks, play, love and care. Betsy even goes the extra mile and stocks up on his favorite treats and snacks, takes him on adventures and keeps his bedding washed and clean. She communicates daily and sends us photo updates. We always breathe easy when we’re on vacation knowing he’s in great hands with both of them!
Abby, and her boyfriend Bryson, were phenomenal with our Mayzee!! Abby was quick to respond when I reached out on Rover and very willing to help. This was such a relief as our need was short notice: We immediately felt at ease leaving Mayzee with them when we dropped her off. They were very happy to see her and Mayzee right away made herself at home. We appreciate the love and care they gave Mayzee..and the pics! We would highly recommend them to watch your family pet. I should add that we did not know them prior to booking through Rover. We will definitely use them in the future!
Jordan did a great job caring for our Griffey boy. She is caring and attentive to all dog’s needs and their personalities. She regularly shared updates via text and videos and was a joy to interact with. Highly recommended and we will definitely look forward to seeing her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lexington home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lexington.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lexington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
