“Was very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when she’s feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.”
“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”
“Clyde has now stayed with Briana multiple times and we trust her to take great care of him. She is a great communicator and always updates us. He appears to have a great time each time he is there and clearly looks forward to being there. We are so grateful to have a trusted individual to care for our dog!”
“Aline was wonderful. She and her family cared for our pup while we were away and sent us pictures of him to keep us updated. She was very responsive as well, whenever we reached out to her. We ended up needing to pick him up a little early and she was flexible with the timing too. Thanks for caring for our little guy!”
“Julia was great! There was easy communication and flexibility for pick up and drop off. She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure our dog was well cared for!”
“Alison was responsive and thoughtful. She agreed to sit our utterly over-exuberant 14-month-old black Lab and we were so concerned that Alison’s family would be overwhelmed. Instead, she sent encouraging notes and exercised our dog extensively, so that she returned home relaxed. We really could not have asked for a better situation. Great people, a terrific fenced back yard, and good communication. Hard to beat that.”
“This was Marlo's third stay with Anastasia and just like before everything went great! Anastasia sent us some photos every other day and when I picked up Marlo, he was healthy and happy. We will definitely use Anastasia's services in the future.”
“We have been bringing our dog Pepper to Tamara and her family for several years now. It is comforting to know Pepper is well cared for when we are away. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave! 10/10, highly recommend!”
“Very thorough when I dropped my dog off Reported back to me the details of his day seemed very capable. Finn was very relaxed and seemed perfectly adjusted in a situation where he normally would be very upset. I pup has severe anxiety separation, but he did great.”
“Yingying took care of my dog really well for the week. My dog Nia has separation anxiety and yingying let her sleep in the bedroom to keep her calm. We really appreciate it.”
“Tracy was amazing with our cat Pretty Girl! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding her but Tracy was very kind and helpful. She was in good hands for sure! We got updates throughout the stay and lots of pictures as well!! When we picked Pretty Girl up she was happy and healthy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with Tracy again!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Vignesh is amazing! He was incredibly caring and attentive to my dog’s needs. He kept me updated throughout, was very responsive to messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It’s clear he genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to ensure they’re well cared for. I highly recommend Vignesh to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“For the 1st time I had to look for a sitter outside of family and friends for my fur baby Hugo.(due to last minute) While searching I was very fortunate that I came across the rave reviews about Andreana.k. I can attest they are all TRUE. Having to leave him for the 1st time with a stranger was nerve wrecking however her kind nature and willingness to stay with him last minute in addition to meet him hrs before his stay gave me and my family a peace of mind. She is awesome and we will definitely use her services again!! I highly recommend her. Thanks again Andreana Hugo will see you soon 😉”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Lancaster
We contacted Kayla to watch our dog while we were away for a long weekend. She was very communicative, attentive, accommodating, and flexible. We appreciated the care and attention she gave our dog and we know he was left in good hands while we were away. Thank you Kayla!
I can't recommend Craig and Brianna highly enough. They looked after our dog, Oreo, for a week and provided exceptional care. Their frequent updates and photos showed just how comfortable and loved he was. It’s such a relief to find sitters who treat your pet as their own!

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 South Lancaster 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 South Lancaster.
Tip: 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 South Lancaster 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 MA 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.
