“Vicky and her family are awesome! They took such great care of our dog while we were traveling. Their fenced in and big backyard was perfect for sniffing and running, and it was clear that he was comfortable and loved inside their home with snuggles and care. She also sent lots of pictures and I loved seeing him so happy. I can’t recommend Vicky enough!”
“Jaxson loved his stay at Tara’s. When we used to take him to a kennel, he came home exhausted. He was not overtired or stressed at all in Tara’s home environment! They have a wonderful back yard that is fenced, and availability to walking paths right behind their house. Highly recommend.”
“This was Arthur's second stay with Betsy and Ron. We were able to really enjoy our time away and relax because we knew he was being well taken care of while we were gone, and got a picture or two most days showing him having a good time. We so appreciate the great care and attention he received! Thanks Betsy and Ron - you're the best!”
“Her gift with our companions is what will keep me coming back. When Amos came back, he was so tired from all the activity and friends he met, that is a sign to me that he had a good time. Use this home for any sitting needs!”
“Alexis and her family are wonderful and took great care of our dog. It was the first time we left him with anyone and we were worried about how he would react. Alexis sent regular updates and photos. He did great and came home happy. Well definitely book with her again.”
“Ashley was amazing with Waffles! She and her kids gave him lots of love, attention, walks, and playtime. Waffles can be sensitive to certain floors and steps, and Ashley was so patient and made sure he was comfortable. She also had a dog at home, so Waffles had a furry friend around while we were away! She sent the perfect number of pictures and videos and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. Waffles came home happy and healthy, and it was obvious he had a great time. We would definitely have Ashley watch him again! ❤️”
“Laura was wonderful while caring for Maggie, our corgi. Unfortunately there were storms while we were away, Laura went above and beyond as Maggie is extremely afraid of thunderstorms. Trying to get Maggie outside when raining is also difficult. Laura gave us daily updates and pictures which were very appreciated, as we missed Maggie.”
“Jennessa was so sweet and accommodating, she took fantastic care of my pup and provided daily updates about her. Highly recommend Jennessa and would definitely work with her again! Cinnamon also had a ton of fun while she was there so your pup/pet is gonna have a mini vacation while you are away!”
“Jennifer is always so attentive with our dogs and they absolutely love her. Its such a relief to know how well they will be taken care of and how experienced she is even though our dogs can be a little tricky and reactive. Highly highly reccommend Jennifer!”
“Stacy took great care of Archer and was accommodating, especially when she accepted our last minute request which was much appreciated! We’re already planning Archer’s next stay!”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life and view them as part of our family. For my entire life, I've had at least one dog in my home and truly could not imagine it any other way. You can be confident that when your dog is with us they will be cared for compassionately and given lots of love and attention. We truly feel our home is the dream destination for your dog - we have a big fenced in yard for them to safely play and sunbathe. We work from home so can give lots of attention and care throughout the day. We also have two dogs in our family that are the most laid back and relaxed dogs I've ever met. If your dog likes to play, they will play and if your dog likes to relax and sleep or doesn't want much interaction, they go off into their own areas to sleep. I work from home so have the ability to be present with your dogs throughout the day to make sure they are given attention and affection they need! We can easily go outside (we have a fenced in yard) for potty breaks and play at multiple points throughout the day and in the evenings we are home and enjoy being outside. We want your dog to feel at home with us! We have a fenced in yard so they can safely play outside and get exercise as needed. Our two dogs get along with all other dogs they've met - they will play sporadically throughout the day but love to lay in the sun, look out the windows and front door and be close to us while we work from home. We're confident that your dog will feel right at home with us.
“My dog Sadi had a great time at Mary's house with her family. She got lots of cuddles and play time throughout the week. Mary always responded quickly to messages and sent many pictures of Sadi throughout the week. Would definitely recommend!”
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!
“Came from VA for vacation with a big family! Hope took my pups in last min when the petsitter I had cancel on me while enroute. We were stuck in traffic and arrived 2 hours after the pickup time and she accommodated us!”
“Jordan's home and property could not be a better place for Mac to spend a few days away from us, but the real reason I'll come back is Jordan's kindness, love for dogs, and incredible communication. A+, 10/10, 5 stars.”

Vicky and her family took great care of our dog!! She sent updates multiple times a day including videos and took him on adventures with her family dog Nova who is a sweet doodle. She has a great backyard and an active family for pups who like to run and play with balls. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we are out of town!!
Beyond amazing!! Mai went beyond ANYTHING I had expected. She is PHENOMENAL!!! I got ton of pictures and videos which as a VERY nervous mommy was wonderful to have. She was wonderful to work with and I would go back to her without a doubt!! I don't have enough positive words to say about her. I felt more than confident leaving my girl with her. She loves the animals and understands that you are giving her a part of you.She takes care and loves them just as you would.
Our pup had an amazing stay with Gwen and her family. He’s a puppy, and it was his first time boarding - but the experience could not have gone better. He LOVED the beautiful big yard and clearly got so much loving attention. Gwen’s communication was excellent. We are already planning to book again! Highly recommend.
Ashley was amazing with Waffles! She and her kids gave him lots of love, attention, walks, and playtime. Waffles can be sensitive to certain floors and steps, and Ashley was so patient and made sure he was comfortable. She also had a dog at home, so Waffles had a furry friend around while we were away! She sent the perfect number of pictures and videos and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. Waffles came home happy and healthy, and it was obvious he had a great time. We would definitely have Ashley watch him again! ❤️
Austin was amazing! He was thorough with taking notes and understanding what my fur baby needed to stick with her routine. Communication was consistent throughout and I never had to wonder how things were going. I had confidence throughout that Roxy was in good hands. Everything went great!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in West Lancaster can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 West Lancaster home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 West 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Lancaster. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your West 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
