About: Hello! My name is Rachel, I am a graduate student living in Lancaster and love to take care of your pets in my free time! I grew up with a big family and many animals including goats, horses, chickens, ducks, and a few dogs running around. I have always loved animals, especially horses and dogs. I also worked at Karen’s K9 Kare in Malvern for around a year. During my time there I gained experience dealing with large groups of dogs as well as bathing, training, and getting picky dogs to eat. The most essential skill I gained at this position is really how to manage stressed out animals, dealing with strangers can be difficult for many pets but I pride myself in being able to recognize what they need from me to make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve had my own dogs, cats and exotic animals my entire life and helping with other pets for at least 10 years. I also have experience in boarding animals for rehoming but would love to help pets that already have furever homes. Between the two adults in my home, someone is almost always home. I work from home and my mom works from home. I have three children that also love dogs but I would not leave them responsible for the care or safety of your animal. I treat your pets like they were my own. Follow your prefered feeding schedule, walks, and play with your dog. Your wish is my command
“Kaelee walked our dog Bilbo twice this week and she was great! She was prompt and communicative in scheduling, got to know Bilbo a bit before the walk, and was careful walking him around busy roads. I appreciated that she helped us by not reinforcing his barking/jumping when greeting someone too.”
“Ormari is great! I needed a walker on short notice and she fit me into her busy schedule . Greatly appreciated. My dog enjoyed meeting her and walking with her . She’s great and I highly recommend !”
About: Along with being the go-to petsitter and dog walker for my neighbors, friends, and family, I have professional pet care experience through Gochenauer Pet Resort as a kennel attendant, dog walker, and playtime supervisor. I have learned through both experience and training courses such as Dog Handler Academy. I work evenings, so morning and daytime pet care is ideal for me. The more time I spend around animals, the happier I am, so I am hoping to fill as much free time as possible with pet time. I am unable to use my home to house pets (as my own cat is uncomfortable with other animals) but I am happy to come to your house and meet your pets where they are.
“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have been caring for animals since I can remember. I watched many different breeds of dogs while in college. I’m available weekdays for walks, and weekends for dog/puppy sitting. I love all animals and have cared for many different breeds of dogs. I’m flexible so let me know what your pet needs. I have lot of experience with pets and walking dogs. I have no pets that I live with so any dog is welcome. Just let me know what your dog needs.
“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!”
“Kianna is very professional and has accepted last minute walks for my dogs. She even goes the extra mile by helping me to complete the request in the app when I experienced difficulty. She is very trustworthy and will take good care of your dogs.”
About: I have worked at a local animal hospital as a Veterinary Assistant the past 2 years. In this role I take appointments, handle and care for both cats and dogs, and assist the other veterinary staff. I am Fear Free Certified, meaning I took a course about animal behavior and how to best reduce stress on your pets. I have lived with dogs, exotics, and small animals my entire life and would love to help you out with any and all of your animals! I have experience with both large and small breed dogs having owned them myself, and regularly walk them. I dog walk as well as pet sit both cats and dogs in the area. I volunteer at a cat shelter in my free time, giving me some extra experience with rescue cats! I have volunteered at the SPCA before, walking the shelter dogs there as well as caring for the cats. I have also volunteered at a Rabies Vaccine clinic, helping the clients and their pets. As someone who has worked with pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages, I would be happy to help with whatever you may need! Im currently a college student, so I would be most available on weekends. However week days can definitely be made to work depending on when I am needed! I am happy to perform whatever tasks needed to keep your cat or dog comfortable. I am able to take dogs out on a leash or let them go in a fenced in yard, whatever they are used to! I am happy to walk and play with them for whatever duration you would like.
About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, attention, and care I give every pet. Since I’m off all summer, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide reliable care, long walks, and lots of companionship. I genuinely love being active and spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have lots of experience caring for dogs. I had a golden retriever for 8 years growing up, and my family currently has a 7-year-old golden retriever! Since I’m off for the summer from teaching, my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available most weekdays for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting. I’m able to adjust my schedule easily to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of attention while keeping the home clean and respected. I also prioritize safety and communication by giving regular updates and photos.
About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up; Dogs, cats, fish, iguana, domestic rabbits, goats, chickens, (oh my!) since I was about 5 years old. I admire every single creature as if they were my very own. This lead to me making it a side hustle (small biz gig) my senior year of high school (2012). Just recently made a Rover account and excited to meet new clients and new pets 😁. I’m very reliable in house sitting, drop-ins, walking, feeding, and administering meds. Just name it you got it! SCHEDULE I work part-time right now, so I am flexible to help meet you & your pets needs. I can help with drop-ins, evening walks most weekdays/weekends. Just hit me up let's work something out! :)) HOUSE SITTING/OVERNIGHT STAYS I'm requesting at least a one week notice for an overnight stay. I have three pets of my own, volunteering, and working part time, so I'll need to adjust my schedule accordingly! I have two golden girls 🐶 and a cat who still all kitten. A mix of low & high energy in my household so I give my cat at least an hour of playtime, and my girls just love to cuddle right up next to you.

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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 your 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Lancaster.

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 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. 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Lancaster. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
