“Ashleigh and John took fabulous care of our cats and were kind enough to extend a day when our travel plans changed. We were reassured through several photos and detailed notes of the visit. They managed to get our most senior cat to play :). We highly recommend!!!”
“Erin did a wonderful job gaining the trust of our two shy kittens while we were away for 6 days. Thank you Erin for your timely communication & photos as well as for your attention to detail! We will absolutely keep Erin in mind for our future pet sitting needs.”
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“Zania did a WONDERFUL job with our dogs, one of which is a little high energy. She went out of her way to take them on a “field trip” to run out their energy and play with other dogs. Her communication was excellent, and she even helped with some of my around-the-house tasks. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!
About: Hi! I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals since I was small. In addition to cat and dog sitting, I have taken care of other people's horses, cows, and hogs. I love taking long walks and would love to care for your four legged friends! Right now, overnight house and pet sitting is the best fit. I'm a theatre artist and have some shows lined up for the fall. I would also be able to do mid-day walks. Unfortunately, because I share with several room-mates, I would have to care for your pet in your home. However, I am responsible and detail oriented, and would take good care of your space while I'm there.
“Malia has once again outdone herself. I asked her last minute to add an extra visit to check on my kitten who had gotten into some mischief before I left for my trip, and she did so without hesitation. My two kitties absolutely adore her and I am so grateful to have Malia to look after them and give me peace of mind when I'm away. She is thoughtful, consistent, communicative, and so caring. I could not recommend her more!!!! Truly 11/10!!!!”
“Kelsey is the best! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cats for a weekend and Kelsey made it so easy. She communicated with me, sent pictures, and always showed up on time. I will absolutely be re-booking for my next trip:)”

“Rachel did an amazing job with our dog and cat. Her experience and knowledge came into play when our dog got a little sick, and she was on top of everything!

About: I have been a cat owner for more than two decades. I have helped family and friends with their dogs over the same amount of time. I currently work full-time, but I have set days off and every other weekend I am also available to pet sit. I can work walks into my schedule easily, but sitting only a few times a week.

About: I've had and cared for pets since my childhood. I've trained my children how to properly care and love on a dog. All my pets have been rescues and have not been disappointed. All my pets have been raised from puppy-hood and I have also cared for senior dogs as well. I've never re-homed a pet. I enjoy the care I can provide and I readily accept their return gratitude through play, cuddles , and hugs. I'm retired from full-time employment and have the flexibility and opportunity to care for others' pets. Also currently have a dog that can provide good socialization during their care. My current fur buddy enjoys house freedoms, and will generally be found alongside either my wife or myself. As a puppy, he was always next to or on top of his stepbrother, who has since passed. As a result, his love tank and touch tank often need refueling. It works both ways.
About: Hi! I’m a college student working toward my goal of becoming a veterinarian, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I have 2.5 years of professional experience working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I’ve cared for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Through my daycare and boarding experience, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs throughout the day and during overnight stays. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, supervising dogs, recognizing different behaviors, and making sure each dog is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. Outside of work, I’ve also been dog sitting for friends and family for several years. I know how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for your pets while you’re away, so I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and cuddles! I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available around my class schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including weekdays and weekends. I’m also happy to work with each owner to maintain their pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they’re used to. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. My experience working in doggy daycare and boarding has taught me how to safely handle dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away, while respecting their individual boundaries and comfort level.
“Chloe was great. I needed someone last minute, and she was happy to help. She took great photos to send to me while she was there, and my two pups seemed happy with her company.”

We currently don't have any pets so yours will get all the attention! I am currently a stay at home mom who homeschools my teens. I have flexibility in my schedule most days of the week, and would love to care for your pets in my home, or in your home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Lancaster
I’ve been using Morgan for years to cat sit my little Callaway, and she is extremely communicative and helpful with my little buddy. He absolutely adores her and I know he’s in good hands whenever I’m gone. She sends tons of pictures of my guy while I’m gone too, which is such a nice touch. Thank you Morgan!
Lauren was great in taking care of my pet guinea pig Coco. She was very caring and did an amazing job to make sure she had enough food and water every visit. Also, went the extra mile in cleaning her area. Very much appreciated and highly recommend her. Thank you Lauren :)
Rachel gave great care to my cats! I was out of town for an extended period of time and she did extra things like bring in my mail when it accumulated, which was greatly appreciated. She showed up on time and left detailed report cards. I feel comfortable that they received wonderful care while I was out of town and am grateful to Rachel for providing it.
Emily watched our two cats for a week, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Between a sick baby at home, a few last-minute schedule changes, and me accidentally mixing up the dates, I definitely didn't make things easy on her. Through it all, Emily was incredibly professional, understanding, flexible, and communicative. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our two girls while we were away. She kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind, and treated our home with the same care she gave our pets. We came home to two happy cats and a house that was exactly as we had left it. We would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Selfishly, I almost don't want to recommend her because I'd like her to be available for our next trip! 😊
Caitlyn is a lifesaver and a dream! She accepted our booking with late notice, even though it was over a holiday! We appreciated her consistent communication and thorough care for our kitties. she followed every instruction to an T and went above and beyond to make everyone in our family comfortable. Caitlyn- seriously, THANK YOU!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Lancaster is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,999 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Lancaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
