“I was very pleased with Christy's care of my cat, Henry. She took very good care of him while I was away for over a week. She sent me many pictures and kept me updated by text on what was happening with him. She gets my highest recommendation. I will book with her again.”
“I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry babies. This is the second time she has taken care of my cats, and once again, she provided excellent care for both of them. She kept me updated with detailed texts about their activities and sent beautiful pictures of my furry babies.”
“Professional and personable, are how I would describe Megan. From, our initial meeting, to the explanation of our dogs routine, and through the experience of caring for our Beagle. We had the feeling she was responsible, and is very pleasant. Our dog verified our feelings accepting Megan as a friend as soon as they met. We will not hesitate to have Megan care for Layla again.”
About: There's never been a time in my life when I didn't have a pet - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. I've helped take care of friend's and neighbors pets while on vacation since I was a teenager. We recently had to say bye to our dog, Bateman, of 13 years and as much as I'd love to welcome another pet into our lives, we're just not ready yet, but we'd love to show some love to your fur babies! We have a big, fenced in backyard and we are attached to a park that's great for walks, so I'd love to see Bateman's space put to good use. My husband and I both work from home and I don't have a set schedule so I can be flexible and available throughout the day. I also take daily walks at the park attached to our neighborhood, so I'd love to have friend to take along with me for some exercise. We have a 7-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter who both love animals and will be more than happy to love on your fur babies. I used to have my own little escape artist at home, so I'm very cautious when opening doors to ensure no one gets out unless there's a fence or they're on a leash.
“I cannot say enough good about Stephanie! She's so personable and amazing with our cats. She always takes incredible care of them and sits with them to pet, play, and snuggle, so they're more comfortable while we are away.”

I am willing to work out and communicate about times my hours are pretty flexible. I love to go on walks in and around my town and would love ur pup to come and join me in my exploration. I have always had a very strong, loving connection to animals. (my grandmother had a farm when I was growing up in Kenya and my first best friend was a calf named Daniel lol) I respect all living beings and take joy in nurturing my friends' pets as if they're one of my own! I am an art student as well so ur pet may be a source of inspiration for my paintings, that's if they can sit still ofc! :) plz feel free to contact me for any further questions I’d be happy to answer any. im currently working part time so ur pet will get plenty of play time with me during the day! my complex has a few trails too that i like to take that id love to share with your pet i have plenty experience with boarding and caring for dogs from my old job. they will get plenty of potty and play breaks and consistently fed promptly at your desired time. i work hard to gain every animals trust that i work with and make sure there is a mutual respect and interest between us! i will take plenty of photos for updates and so u are in the know about anything major or concerning
About: Since I was a kid, I've always had cats and dogs. I also grew up caring for horses, goats, and barn cats in exchange for horseback lessons. Currently, I have a cat and a senior dog whom I love with all my heart. I promise to treat your animals with the same diligence, attentiveness, and care. I am extremely reliable and follow directions thoroughly. I am physically fit and able to walk dogs for long distances with ease. I can also jog with dogs or play fetch with them if you'd like more exercise for your pet. Balance is important in life -- I am happy to help you out! I look forward to giving your pets the best care imaginable. I have nearly full availability for pet sitting for the next few months. I am available weekdays and most weekends, with some exceptions. I can take on long-term house sitting if needed, up to 1 week. I am able-bodied and able to walk or sometimes jog with dogs. If your dog prefers catch or tug-of-war, I am happy to play with them. Exercise is important for cats, too. My own cat is silly and only likes to play in very specific ways, but still, I try my best to play with him and provide the enrichment he deserves. I will try my best to get to know your animal and learn how they like to play. I am also willing to brush animals, crate them, and provide medicine. I am very respectful upon entering homes -- I always take off my shoes to ensure cleanliness. If I am staying overnight, I promise to treat your home with respect and boundaries.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have cared for them in their senior years with love and respect. This included giving medications, caring for incontinence and overall creating an environment that met their sometimes, seemingly to the outside world, over the top needs. But, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make their lives a little better and as comfortable as possible. I’m a stay at home mom and housekeeper so I have a flexible schedule Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am to 3pm. I currently care for one family’s 5 dogs about 10 days a month. So I can take helping a a few more families. I am currently available to do drop in visits and walking of your pets at your home. I am a very cautious and detail oriented person so if I’m caring for your pet I will be as diligent about keeping them safe during walks and outdoor time as I am with my own.
About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.
“Murray was wonderful! They were reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of everyone. We received updates and photos, which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were safe and happy. It was clear they genuinely cared about the animals and paid attention to their individual needs. We came home to happy, healthy pets and everything was just as we left it. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!!”
About: Dogs are my passion. I've always had dogs in my house growing up. From taking care of neighbors, to past teachers, friends and widespread family, people know they can trust me with their furry friends. In 2019 I started professionally walking dogs, and explored pet sitting. I worked with a variety of different animals, from day to day, and over night! I have experience feeding (Free and timed), giving oral/topical medication, bathing/brushing, walking, and lastly giving LOTS of love and affection to your perfect pup! Dogs always come first in my line of work! Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for outside of my full-time work schedule. I work during the weekdays, but I have open availability all day Saturday and Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and boarding needs. My weekends allow me to dedicate my full attention to the pets in my care, providing plenty of playtime, companionship, exercise, and personalized care. I have over 5 years of experience in pet sitting and boarding, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I strive to make their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe pets do best when they can stay in a familiar environment with the routines, care, and attention they are used to. I provide detailed updates after every visit or walk, including information about their behavior, activities, meals, bathroom breaks, and anything important I notice. I take pride in caring for each pet down to the smallest detail, whether that means following specific instructions, maintaining their schedule, administering medications when needed, or simply giving them the extra love and attention they deserve. My goal is always for both pets and owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they are apart.
“Cheyene did a great job with our anxious pup and crazy husky! She was on time, sent great pics, and gave us feedback about how Zelda and Willow were behaving to make us feel more at ease with our first time using Rover.”
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for my family pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding depending on my class schedule, and weekend stays so you can have your weekend getaways knowing your pet is safe. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, patient, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jacobus
Murray was the best sitter we’ve could’ve asked for while we were away. He communicate daily and included photos and information about our fur babies. In fact, our shih-poos are two that don’t warm up to people immediately, but it was literally no time at all before Murray was treated like he was one of the family. He definitely has a way with establishing trust, nurture and genuine care shared in every visit.
Knowing that Mark would be dropping by to check on Jubal made going out of town so much easier! Jubal does not like going to the kennel, so being able to leave him at home works better. Mark sent updates and photos each visit, I know Jubal was well cared for while I was gone. Second time we've used Mark and would definitely rebook!
Sarah was amazing and very responsive! I needed someone at the last minute and she was happy to help. I am grateful she took care and spoiled my babygirl with love while I was gone. I highly recommend her to anyone in the York area and will be using her again in the future!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jacobus stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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 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.
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 sitter.
