“If our dog had her way, she'd go to Paul's every day. She had so much fun during her stay, she had the biggest smile on her face in every picture Paul sent us! Paul is so incredibly nice and clearly cares for each and every animal that comes into his home. We can't thank Paul enough for giving our girl one of the best weekends ever!”
“Svetlana welcomed S. Punki into her family so that we felt like he was on a vacation too! We got daily feedback, with photos, videos, and messages. Svetlana asked questions when she wasn't sure, and was kind and caring. We could not ask for more. I definitely recommend Svetlana and hope to leave S. Punki in her care when we travel again.”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“Elaine was very flexible with our pick up and drop off time for Brigsby. She was prompt to reply and provided pictures and updates throughout his stay. Brigsby clearly liked Elaine and had fun playing with the other dogs staying with her. Elaine clearly provides thoughtful attention to the dogs she cares for.”
“Mary took such good care of my miniature schnauzer who is cautious and shy. She was a great communicator. She sent pictures showing me he was happy and doing well and when I picked him he was as contentedly curled up asleep. I am so thrilled to be able to have Mary sit for him again in the future.”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“Amanda was amazing! She and her two boys played with and took great care of my dog. She had to leave for vacation the day I was returning from vacation. She dropped off my dog off at my house and made sure she was fed and had fresh water. I am booking her again!”
“Lydia was great taking care of our dog Ollie while we had our wedding events!! She gave us a reasonable amount of updates as well as pictures, which we loved seeing during some stressful times! She was very friendly and Ollie loved her! We will definitely be using Lydia again! Thank you Lydia!!”
“Liza was amazing! Our dog Scooby stayed with her for 5 nights and she sent us daily photos and updates. It looked like he had a great time there. He seemed to want to stay when I picked him up!!! When ever we travel Liza will be the first option to take care of Scooby!”
“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, but now that I’ve moved out, I don’t have one. I love having a furry friend to spend time with and play with. Besides taking care of my own pets, I’ve also had experience caring for my elderly grandparents and working with children for over seven years. I always prioritize my pet’s needs. If my pet eats at 6 am, I’m up and feeding it at 6 am. I also like to let my pet out every 2-3 hours, especially when it first wakes up or after eating. I enjoy going on walks, and there’s a rail trail nearby. Cuddles are everything. If this pet wants me to love on them I will be super cuddly. I want to make them feel as at home as possible.
About: I have grew up with dogs in my home my whole life. We have had big and small and I have loved caring for all of them! In high school, I dog sat for a golden retriever and black lab who lived in the same family! We played fetch, went in long walks and shared lots of snuggles. When I went onto college, I did dog walking for a while and loved it! I currently have my own puppy who is an 11 month old Mashi named Teddy. I love him more than anything in this world and I know he would love to play with friends! I currently work part time, MWF. I would love to take care of your pets when I am off, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday! I love animals and feel there is nothing better than playing with dogs on my off days! I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have two runners and a very quiet peaceful neighborhood. I take my puppy on walks and let him roam in the backyard (with supervision) and he loves it!
“Nancy is wonderful, kind an caring. I was gone for 6 days and Nancy would send me updates few times a day including pictures. My dog is old and needs patience and love and Nancy would provide all of that and beyond! I would highly recommend Nancy to take care of your pet.”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Michael and his family are wonderful! I can't say enough good things about him and the care he provides my dog, Ghost Pepper. I've used Micheal's services several times, all in leading up to 2+ week vacation that I couldn't bring my dog to. He sent pictures, and updates and was in contact with me often. My dog had a great time while we were away. I know how stressful it can be to find a place you're comfortable letting your dog stay - Michael's house is it! We've had such great experiences with him. Truly a blessing to have a safe, caring, fun, happy place to leave my dog. Thank you!!!!!!”
“Hands down best experience we’ve had with dog sitter. Sydney loved our pup like he was her own and sent plenty of videos and pictures. He is clearly smiling in several of them. What a gem she is…we were so lucky to find her! Thank you Sydney! Our vacation was lovely knowing Roger was in such good hands”
“Ben took great care of my beloved dog Turtle. I had to visit an elderly family member in Florida.. let’s just say not a moment too soon. Turtle goes with me everywhere every day, so Ben’s one on one service was great for us. Thank You.”
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.
<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 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.
