“Malia is the best! She is communicative, reliable, and timely. And she loves my dog! She takes lots of pictures and sends great updates so you know that your pet is well cared for.”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Tyler as our dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Tyler is consistently on time, which is a huge relief for our busy schedule. His communication skills are excellent; he keeps me informed about how our dog is doing during walks and is always open to any questions I have. What truly stands out is how well he follows our care instructions. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about our dog’s well-being, and that gives us peace of mind. Our dog is not only safe but also incredibly happy after spending time with Tyler. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! Thank you, Tyler, for providing such wonderful care!”

About: I have cared for my own pups and cats ever since I was four. Over the years, I’ve had a few hamsters, and I currently have an eleven year-old Shih Tzu whom I adore. I just graduated from Wilson College where I did a few years of Veterinary Nursing. I am extremely passionate about animal care. I’ve gained valuable experience from working at a pet store for three years and from completed a year-long Veterinary Assistant program, which was extremely beneficial and geared my initial career choices. I am quite active and would love to take animals on walks or runs as needed throughout the day. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and playing with them. Additionally, I am comfortable administering medication, feeding, bathing, and brushing. I find cleaning quite stress-relieving, so I assure you that cleanliness is important to me. Your space and animal will be treated with the utmost respect. Do you need your plants watered? Fish fed? Dust levels maintained to a minimum? I am happy to assist with these services as well! I have plenty of time to take care of one of my favorite things in this world: Animals. Pets fit perfectly with my daily and weekly routine as I continue to apply now that I have graduated for a “big girl” job. Caring for pets in my home or a client's home can vary depending on the specific needs of the pets. 1. Routine: I try to Establish a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime and /or go with a routine as similar as their usual one as I can. 2.Communication: Discuss the pet's routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions with the client. Maintain communication throughout the whole stay and beforehand. 3. Updates: I Keep the client updated on their pet's well-being through messages or photos. 4.

About: What sets me apart is my professional animal-handling experience and my ability to work confidently with pets of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I spent two years working as an equine veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience monitoring animal health, safely handling and restraining animals, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and working in fast-paced situations. I also have extensive experience caring for and training my own dogs, including large breeds. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit their individual personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is a playful puppy learning good habits, a senior pet needing extra patience and care, or a dog that is nervous around new people, I focus on creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience. I am comfortable with administering medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners during walks and visits, and providing detailed updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I have a lot of time on the weekends to walk dogs but I also have some time in the mornings for a dog or two monday-thursday In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication instructions, and lots of love. I always pay attention to their body language and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and well-cared for while you’re away.

Rachel is the best there is! My dog loves seeing Rachel. I know she is well taken care of when I am gone. Rachel plays with her at the park, gives her treats, and refreshes her water every time. We are moving out of state and I don’t know if I’m going to find someone as great as Rachel! Highly recommend :)

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in West Lancaster. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Lancaster. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
