“This was the first time we used Eileen to house sit our mini doxies and we we’re not t disappointed, she was amazing with our pups! I will definitely use Eileen again to house sit!”
“Courtney did a great job taking care of our pups. We came had some fun updates while we were gone and the dogs respond well to her. Our home was in great condition and it was obvious our pets were taken great care of…. We felt bad our cable was out all weekend and she just made due…bless her heart! We would highly recommend Courtney We will definitely use her again.”
“Mark is outstanding. Not only did he take great care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats, but he was an excellent communicator. He sent a full written report each day and sent so many pictures. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. He was very helpful when we almost missed our connecting flight and reassured me that he would be there for us if we did miss it. We travel a lot and I will never use another pet sitter if I can help it. Mark took care of my pets like I take care of them and that’s saying a lot bc I’m a bit crazy for my furbabies. Highly recommend!”
“Our 2 girls love Jadine. She took great care of them. She sent pictures and kept us informed. ALSO While away I was sick and hospitalized. Jadine was able to work it out to stay longer. Our minds and hearts were at ease with Jadine! HIGHLY RECCOMEND.”
“Ingrid was nothing short of absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our girl and home while we were away. We are 100% going to use her for any of our dog sitting needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for our kitties overnight for more than a week. She kept them entertained and even our most shy cats opened up to her. They were well taken care of and I did not have to worry about them being lonely while we were gone. Ashley also communicated with us about an a/c issue at the end of our trip and still stayed with our kitties even through the rising temps. Over and above service. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Cindy went above and beyond our expectations! Our four puppies were very well taken care of, and Cindy did an amazing job! We were away for 4 days and she came to our house to watch the dogs. They got all of the love and attention that they get when we are with them! Looking forward to Cindy coming to take care of them again :)”
“Andrea C. was an absolutely wonderful house- and dog-sitter for our girls, Tootsie-Belle and Tessie-Belle. She kept them on their feeding, play, and snacking schedule so they stayed happy and comfortable throughout. Andrea sent daily reports with updates and photos, and even reached out with a question to make sure she was doing everything exactly as we wanted. When we returned, the house was sparkling clean. Responsible, attentive, and caring—highly recommended!”

About: I'm no stranger when it comes to walking dogs. For years I've always gladly volunteered to walk my family's adopted Greyhound and Shi Tzu, and I've loved every second of each walk. Nothing makes me happier than getting some fresh air with them or playing with them inside with their sqweak toys. I'm extremely availed and flexible as I'm home for the summer from college. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and there is no obstacle I can't overcome when it comes to taking care of them.

So that’s exactly what i did, i started shadowing trainers, reading any possible book i could about dog behavior. I loved working with dogs so much but while i was there i ran into the guilt of the dogs being locked up most of the time and not entirely getting the normal amount of human interaction they get at home so i started doing this on my own! From working at multiple kennels, shadowing trainers, caring for senior animals, caring for polar opposite pups like chihuahuas versus a great dane! I currently work at the pet wash in woodinville where I wash dogs and groom!! I offer grooming on top of my rover services so feel free to send a random request to talk about some general grooming!

I was trained in full service grooming and have for many years to perfect the different grooming styles. i do not do boarding in my own home but treating you’re home as if it was mine is always the goal. you should never let you’re dog run you’re home since ur the one who I invited him into the home. Respecting all rules and comments that are given! Right now I’m currently looking for a job so I’m hoping this takes up most of my time till I can find a full time job but for now my time is your time Always follow YOUR rules. what’s ur routine? how do you take care of ur animals? Everyone has different wants and needs and I wanna know them.

I am easily able to prioritize your fur friends and attend to anything they might need! I give the pets their space but make sure to always be nearby and with them for anything they might need from me! I would never want to overstep any of the pup or kitty’s boundaries

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter returning to Rover with a 5-star rating and a genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone reliable, patient, and trustworthy looking after your pets when you can’t be there. I’m a registered nurse, which means I’m naturally detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following care instructions closely. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing calm, loving care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. My healthcare background also gives me experience with careful medication administration and following specific care routines, including helping pets who may need extra attention or support. I work remotely during the week, so while I’m not available to leave during my work hours (10 AM–6:30 PM Monday–Friday), I offer availability for early morning visits, evening drop-ins, and flexible weekend care. I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-in visits, cat care, feeding, playtime, litter box care, medication administration, and keeping your pets company while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, daily check-in, medication support, or a reliable person to care for them while you’re traveling, I’d love the opportunity to provide the same patience, attention, and compassion I bring to everything I do. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work Monday through Friday from 10 to 6:30 PM. So I am available anytime before 9 AM or after 6:30 PM on those days. Weekends, I am off so I’m available at any time Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and attention I would want for my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - York
This was my first time using Rover, and I was a bit nervous since my dogs are truly my babies—and the sitter would be staying in my home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Heather! She took wonderful care of my three dogs, including one who is older, blind, and deaf, and needs a little extra attention. Heather was fantastic with all of them. She kept me updated with great communication and sent lots of photos while I was away, which really put my mind at ease. My house was clean and tidy when I got back, and I appreciated her reliability, punctuality, and attention to detail. She even made sure to walk two of the dogs each day. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter, Heather is your girl!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred York walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in York maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in York choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
