“Hannah was awesome! It was so nice being able to leave our dog at our home vs boarding. He was very well cared for and was his happy typical self when we got home. We’d definitely request Hannah’s pet sitting again!”
“Mikayla did a great job caring for our pups overnight. She even kept up with their medicine regime and reminded me when pills were out. I appreciated that she left our place clean and was respectful. Would definitely reach out again.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have been caring for animals since I can remember. I watched many different breeds of dogs while in college. I’m available weekdays for walks, and weekends for dog/puppy sitting. I love all animals and have cared for many different breeds of dogs. I’m flexible so let me know what your pet needs. I have lot of experience with pets and walking dogs. I have no pets that I live with so any dog is welcome. Just let me know what your dog needs.
“We booked Brooke last minute as our previous services fell through while we were away. Brooke was very thorough and understanding, and got to our dogs within the hour of booking! She took our dog to the vet and communicated his care until we were able to get home. She gave us a sense of relief. Definitely would recommend Brooke!”
“We are SO glad we found Tyler… couldn’t be happier! He stayed with our sometimes over reactive dog for a week and it went well . Tyler is very attentive and kind. Sent updates and could easily be reached. Kept house clean and neat. Was great before our trip coming over to let our dog get used to him. So appreciated… will definitely use him again! Feel like we can go away and our dog is in caring hands. Thanks Tyler!!”
“Melissa took great care of our very emotionally needy dog while we were away for two weeks. He was very comfortable in her care, and she gave him lots of attention and love!”
“Zania is a treasure. For anyone looking for a responsible, respectful and caring dogwalker for the Lancaster County area, Zania is wonderful. I have a young active terrier and a very Senior, deaf and partialy blind terrier. She was very careful with both. Followed my care instructions and asked appropriate questions to determine how to best meet their needs. She fed them, gave potty breaks and gave my Senior dog her medications with no issues. The dogs loved her.”
“Austin is a very accommodating , easy going person. I was very comfortable having him in my home, taking great care of the pups. He gave me updates, sent pics, asked questions about their habits. The pups and my home were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend him as a pet sitter.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Growing up with a high-energy Blue Heeler taught me how important exercise, attention, and consistency are, while helping raise our Standard Poodle gave me experience with daily routines, training, walks, and plenty of playtime. I’ve also spent years caring for family members’ dogs, including multiple Chihuahuas and other breeds, each with their own unique personality and needs. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just basic care—they’ll get patience, attention, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with them. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority in my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a Supervisor at Urban Air and a Sales Associate at Vineyard Vines, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m usually available most afternoons after 3:30 PM, as well as before 4:00 PM on some Fridays and Saturdays. Even when I have work commitments, I put in the effort to coordinate my time so I can provide dependable care both before and after my shifts whenever possible. While my Sundays can be a bit busier, I always make sure I can provide reliable, attentive care when I accept a booking. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pet! When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining a safe, consistent, and engaging routine. With my own Standard Poodle, I make sure she is well-fed, has access to fresh water, gets regular potty breaks, and receives plenty of attention throughout the day. Because our yard requires close supervision during outdoor time, I’m accustomed to actively monitoring dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. I also make it a priority to provide exercise and mental stimulation through walks, games of fetch, playtime with toys, and one-on-one interaction. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while they’re away.
“We loved having Sarah care for Clyde. We came home from an extended trip to a happy and well cared for pup! 🐶 💕 We look forward to having her back to help in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was ten. As an adult I have owned 3 dogs. My current pup is a goldendoodle named Baxter. Baxter is a spoiled boy and gets 2 walks a day and lots of attention throughout the day. Prior to Baxter I had a golden retriever named Cody and prior to Cody I had a golden retriever named Midas. All of my dogs have been to obedience training. I know all of the commands and am happy to practice those command with your pup. I live in a small subdivision and I am the go to dog sitter for all of my neighbors. I would love the opportunity to take care of your fur baby. I’m currently working part time (3 days per week-6 hours per day) so I will have plenty of time to devote to your pup. My job also has a flexible schedule. I do not have a fenced in yard but I’m happy to take your pup for a few walks a day. I live in a quiet neighborhood in West Hempfield Township.
About: Hi I'm Ashley, and caring for dogs is in my DNA! My father is an official AKC (American Kennel Club) breeder who works with his two stunning Siberian Huskies. Over the years, I've had the joy of being involved in their breeding process, spending time with adorable puppies from birth to 8 weeks old. This hands on experience has given me unique insight into dogs' needs at every stage of life I'm also experienced with high energy, strong willed breeds like Huskies. I know how to manage dogs that pull or chase on their leads, ensuring they stay safe and happy. As a runner I'm more than willing to match your dog's energy whether that means a brisk jog or a full on run to burn off some extra steam. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll an active adventure, or just some love while you're away, I'm here to help. With my experience enthusiasm, and love for animals, you can trust me to care for your pet like they're part of my family :) I currently am walking a few regular clients dogs and am looking for more sittings or walks. I also work part time. Reach out with any questions! I don't have a fenced in yard but there is a nearby dog park which could accommodate a pup or two if that is needed!
“Hilary watched my two cats for a total of 11 days, spending the majority of each day at my house because my two cats are needy and quite particular at times. She was perfect for them. They loved her, updated me daily with pictures to prove it, and were so healthy and happy when I returned home. She followed directions carefully, even the silly and the confusing. I will absolutely rebook with her should I need this service again.”
“Ashley was amazing! She notified us and sent a picture of our pups soon after she arrived. She kept us updated by emails and photos throughout her stay. Because our return was tentative because of driving back from a wedding, she stopped by in the afternoon to let the pups out prior to our return. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Lexi was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Our dog had an expected health issue before we left and Lexi kept us up to date every day on how she was doing, calibrated to a different diet and some meds needed for the week, and even coordinated with me and the vet regarding a complication that came up from her health issue while we were gone. She clearly has a good pulse on animals and even our vet commented on how on top of things she was. Let this serve as a glowing review, highly highly recommended house/dog/cat sitter, and I hope we have the opportunity to book with her again in the future.”
“Amanda was exceptional—she was patient with my quirky dog, provided regular updates, and looked after my house as well as my pup. I’d definitely recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”

Brooke was amazing! From the minute she arrived, she made me feel comfortable leaving my very clingy pup. He is not the easiest ‘ client’ due to some separation anxiety issues, but Brooke was great with him. My only regret is that we live so far away because I would use her again in a heartbeat! Everyone who is local to Lancaster, she should be your go to sitter/walker!! Thanks again Brooke for taking good care of Boston and allowing us to have dinner out!
Ally was sensational. I’ve never had my pets take to someone so quickly. Ally went the extra mile to make sure our fur babies were taken care of while we were away. When my old pup wasn’t eating due to us being away, she brought pumpkin puree to encourage her to eat. 😁 We also just got 2 new kittens and she made sure to protect any areas they wanted to attack and keep everything in one piece 😂. We highly recommend Ally and look forward to her caring for our babies next time we’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oyster Point on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,146 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oyster Point. 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 Oyster Point 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 Oyster Point 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 Oyster Point 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 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.

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.
