“Rowan was brilliant with our two cats, who instantly took to them and clearly felt safe with them. Rowan stayed overnight in our home with the cats, and left it clean, without any concerns. Rowan sent regular updates for how the cats were getting on, including photos. Rowan followed everything we asked of them, which we're very grateful for! We'll be booking Rowan again - thoroughly recommend!”

“Chloe has been an absolute star. First time we went on holiday without Ziggy and Chloe really made our holiday. Ziggy and Bella looked so happy, relaxed and well looked after that we could relax and enjoy our holidays without any worries. Thanks a million to Chloe who is the best!”


About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs growing up and I’m excited to meet your best friends! I regularly take care of my family and friends’ animals as I cannot have pets in my current flat and I adore it! I even have two cats of my own ( that live away from me :( )! I am passionate about animals and animal care and conservation and am even aspiring to work with them professionally some day! I currently work shifts for a local retailer so my work hours do vary greatly, however, I have a good ability to choose when and where to work so can work my hours around your pets needs. Outside of work, I have no obligations that would prevent routines and therefore could fit well into your needed pet care plan. Due to my flat not having any available outdoor areas, I choose to provide only home-visit and neighbourhood services. As much as I will not be keeping pets at my home, I live a two minute walk away from the promenade, giving great walking stretches for any dogs, keeping them entertained and happy in a great environment. For in-house visits I am more than happy to do whatever is requested as I understand you know your pet better than anyone else, and I want to offer them and you, the best care possible.

“Absolutely fantastic experience, Bruce settled really well with Alex, and everything went smoothly. I couldn’t wish for a better outcome. I Highly recommend Alex as a sitter, he's brilliant with dogs, and a really nice guy!”

“Libby took a good care of my cats Anakin and Frida. She slept two nights at my place. She was very proactive sending pictures and videos and she also answered quickly to my texts. She was the first person boarding in my place and I'm very happy with the experience.”

“We could not of been any luckier with coming across Barbara, our dog Kasper took to her straight away and settled really easily. She did everything and more that we'd of hoped for, to which saw Kasper cuddle up to her... Something he doesn't do often!! We will definitely be using their expertise again”

About: I can offer care for all animals at your house. I have had 3 dogs in the past at home to look after alongside a cat. The age and size of dog doesn't bother me as long as if I am to walk them they won't pull me over as I am small. I am 26 and love animals, but working at the station means owning one is difficult. I can groom, walk, play and cuddle. I have a car so can take the dogs to parks or other places further out the way for walks as well as being able to provide my own transport. I can give regular updates on the animals during the day if wished. I work a shift pattern so can help with different days, different times to suit as needed. I walk plenty and own a house with a garden so happy to have your dog for as long as needed across the day I have a 6ft walled garden and plenty of knowledge of where to walk dogs in the local area to suit whatever needs are required
“Beatrice looked after our two standard poodles, Odin and Carter, for a full day while we were in Manchester. She offered to pop over for a meet & greet a few weeks prior, which immediately put us at ease. On the day of the booking, she arrived and left promptly, took the boys on both of their daily walks and sent steady photo updates throughout the day to let us know how they were doing. Beatrice is friendly, dependable and clearly great with dogs as Odin and Carter took to her right away. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Reece and Lucy were an absolute pleasure to have in our home with our beloved boy Reggie while we were away for over a week! They took such great care of him, sending updates and also taking him along on all their adventures! He can be quite crazy at times but they took it all in their stride and Reggie had a great time with his new friends! Thank you for everything, we look forward to having you again with Reggie soon ?”

About: I grew up with a dog for 15 and a half years, which had a profound impact on me. I decided to pursue dog training after adopting a Boxer, a decision I've never regretted. I've learned a great deal about myself, including my insecurities, strengths, and how dogs and horses perceive me. It's been an invaluable experience that I've refined more and more throughout my life. I can care for dogs of any size and age, though they should be at least one year old. If needed, I can train young dogs and also care for older ones. I can also administer oral medications and give your Sweetie a soft & calming massage. In 2018 and 2021, I adopted two rescued Greyhounds whose calm and balanced nature has helped many other dogs. Even though they sometimes get excited at dog meetups, they always manage to build a stable relationship. This invaluable talent has brought us many friends on our daily walks. My two sweeties have become important members of various dog groups / packs and are, of course, always welcome among people. I am also available to help with nearly any behavioural issues you may encounter with your dog. How to read a dog's body language? How do I train my dog not to pull on the leash all the time? Why does my dog bark even when there's (obviously) no reason to? Would you like to change this unwanted behaviour in your beloved pet? Talk to me. I work from my home office in the mornings and late evenings. At midday, I take my two Greyhounds for their second walk, and they always enjoy sharing this time with new friends. They are both extremely friendly and outgoing, even with small dogs. Then it's garden time, perhaps some training, or playtime with friends like a Giant Schnauzer and a Labrador at my home. So there's always something going on, and after all that romping around, a little nap is more than welcome. I live in a typical residential area in Morecambe, yet still close to Lancaster. The area in and around Heysham and Morecambe offers plenty of opportunities for dog walks - whether out in the open countryside, across fields, or through small wooded areas. Beach walks are by far the dogs' favourite, and we regularly meet up with friends. At home and in my backyard I offer lounging areas, cooling mats in the summer, and a separate feeding area - indoors or outdoors, depending on the season and weather conditions.
“Elle was able to look after Baloo at short notice and was a great find! Her communication beforehand was friendly and reassuring and she sent photos during the night I was out to reassure me Baloo was happy. In fact, he thoroughly enjoyed being treated like a king while she looked after him!”

About: I’m currently a nurse who after some big life changes is looking to change careers and work with animals as they truly have my heart. I am a lifelong pet owner beggining with our family pets. After moving out at nineteen I began to have my own gang of fluffies. Currently my husband and I have a Golden Retriever named Molly, a German Shorthaired Pointer named Rupert, a Ragdoll cat named Murphy and a mini lop rabbit named Merlin. My animals are my absolute world and I promise to care for your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. No request is too weird or wonderful, I know we all have our different routines etc for our pets. I’m not currently working so I am fully flexible. I am happy to do all days and times including evening and weekends as well as holidays. I will come to your house as arranged and care for your pets in whatever manner you need whether it’s just a pop in to feed a cat, a quick let out for a wee for your dog. As a nurse I have been DBS checked multiple times. I am happy to meet you beforehand to help with trust.

“Excellent! Paige is instantly likeable from the off, which put me at ease straight away. I was sent updates, videos and pics of Paige and Lucy throughout all of my holiday. On arriving home my flat was immaculate and Paige had even changed the bedding for me. I really cannot recommend enough. Basically I trusted Paige with my home and my much loved cat Lucy and I know that both were looked after as if they were her own. I will definitely be using Paige for all my future nights away and holidays. Thank you Paige - you’re an absolute credit!”

“Helen has been truly amazing. We came all the way from germany for a wedding and we couldn’t have left our dog by itself at the airbnb. Helen is such a heartwarming trustable person with a lot of experience. Helen send me pictures and kept me updated. I couldn’t have found someone better for our dog. Thank you so much Helen. It was a pleasure to meet you☺️”

About: I’ve been in love with cats and dogs as long as I can remember! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 and my neighbours and friends love the way I interacted with the pets and relied on me to play, walk, feed, bath their pets. I adopted my first cat when I was 19 and taking care of my friends’ dog, dog breeds including(golden retriever, labrador, husky, german shepherd, chihuahua, Eskimo, corgi, poodle, shiba Inu, schnauzer etc). I’m doing my master degree at Lancaster University now. I have done my dissertation so my schedule is flexible. I’m happy to meet your fur baby whenever is best for their schedule. I will send you the video and photos update about your cutie fur babies! I am happy to play with them using their favourite toy, I will bring some homemade pets snack as gift when first meeting them but need to let me know earlier so I can prepare it❣️🐱🐶 I have a part time job but we can discuss the details via inbox📩 My weekends is available for most of the time and mostly weekdays afternoon to evening will be available. I’m currently staying at campus accommodation, hence might not be able to take them into my place but I can bring them to walk and I don’t mind taking care of them at your place. I can guaranteed you I will take care the house and your fur baby with just same price because I really love to spend time with cats and dogs.

“I cannot recommend Ellie enough. This was the first time we'd used Rover as our puppy is only 7 months old and we were extremely nervous leaving her for the first time. We received regular updates which massively settled my nerves and meant we could enjoy our holiday. Came home my house was spotless and our dog had the best time and didn't even miss us!🤣🤣 would 100% recommend Ellie.”

About: I’ve fed, taken care of and played with dogs and cats for family members, friends and neighbours multiple times in the past whilst they were working or on holiday. I also have experience working at a vets as well as on a farm and I am certified to give cpr to a dog. I am currently searching for a job meaning that any time that is not spent searching for a job will be spent caring for pets. I feed, interact with, and try my best to make the pet feel comfortable to have me in the house. I see it as intruding in their space and I should respect the pet in the house as I would a person. I make the pet comfortable, then feed, let out, and play with the pet if needed.

Beatrice looked after our two standard poodles, Odin and Carter, for a full day while we were in Manchester. She offered to pop over for a meet & greet a few weeks prior, which immediately put us at ease. On the day of the booking, she arrived and left promptly, took the boys on both of their daily walks and sent steady photo updates throughout the day to let us know how they were doing. Beatrice is friendly, dependable and clearly great with dogs as Odin and Carter took to her right away. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Baloo had another great afternoon with Sarah. He really enjoyed his walk and cuddles and Sarah sent super updates and photos to reassure that he was doing well and having a ball without us! Sarah really 'gets' Baloo and his puppy quirks. She cares for him so well and it's very reassuring to know he's in capable hands.

Elle was an absolute godsend. After being cancelled on and declined by several sitters at short notice, she stepped in and made everything easy from the start. She even suggested popping over beforehand to meet us and the dogs, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout our time away, she was really responsive on messages and sent regular photos and updates, which we really appreciated. It was clear our boys loved her, they were completely comfortable around her from the outset, which says everything about her energy and the way she is with dogs. She took great care of them, including their walks, and we came home to two very happy pups. To top it off, she went above and beyond by stripping the bedding, washing it, and giving the place a hoover — something we absolutely didn’t expect, but massively appreciated (especially after a slightly worse-for-wear return home!). We felt completely comfortable leaving both our home and our dogs in Elle’s care. She’s a genuinely lovely person, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Nikky has a very calm and confident energy that made me feel comfortable as soon as I met her. My boy is very anxious when I leave him, so to know he has a friend who chats away and reassures him when I’m gone. She gave me updates and was super chill about the quirks of both my wonky house and my particular pup.

Niamh did a really good job looking after our dogs Rover and Pippa while we were away. She was happy to have a meet and greet before the sit, was friendly, considerate and proactive and send us regular updates during the stay. Both dogs were happy and content upon our return. We were glad to know Pippa and Rover were well cared for and would definitely book her services again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lancaster on Rover is £34.5 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 311 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lancaster. Enter your postcode 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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Lancaster walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
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 Lancaster choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
