“We are always so happy when we can get Eileen to house sit our 2 dogs. We have a geriatric labradoodle that has special diet and some behavior issues and an active papillon chihuahua mix that just wants to dominate from your lap. Eileen makes them both feel loved snd cared for.”
“Ashley was a great sitter, super communicative and sent lots of good pictures. She was very helpful with administering meds for Lilly and overall provided such good care! Would recommend and will book her again in the future.”
“Ingrid is the BEST!! She went over and beyond taking care of my Lucy for a whole week! Lucy loved her. I got updates and pictures every day. I had a worry-free vacation. My house was spotless when I got home. She was amazing. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Courtney housesat for us while we spent a few days at Disney. She took great care of our babies and provided us with pictures and updates while we were away. We are very happy with her services and would definitely have her back again!”
“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.”
“Connor recently took on dog sitting our 5 very active dogs for a week in our home. From our first contact, Connor was reliable, courteous and a pleasure to work with. Connor was very quick with his communication and answered all our questions. It was the first time we have left all 5 dogs with a "stranger" and we were a little worried, as they can be a handful, but he was wonderful! After our initial meeting, we felt very comfortable having Connor stay in our home and we returned to find it just as it was left. He took on the responsibility of cleaning up daily after the 5 dogs and our detailed list of instructions. We would highly recommend Connor for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Pet Sitter! We cannot say enough incredible things about Cindy! Leaving our four dogs and four cats for 10 full days was terrifying for us—we hadn’t left our pets in over seven years, so our anxiety was through the roof before we left. From the very beginning, Cindy completely put our minds at ease. Caring for eight animals is no small task, but she handled our entire crew with total confidence, patience, and genuine warmth. It was immediately obvious that she treats animals like her own, and our pets didn’t just like her—they fell completely in love with her. Cindy was communicative, reliable, and attentive to every detail. Coming home to happy, calm, and thriving pets made all the difference in the world. Choosing her on Rover was the best decision we could have made, and we finally have complete peace of mind knowing our animals were in the best hands possible. If you are looking for an extraordinary, trustworthy, and loving pet sitter, book Cindy immediately. She is truly the best!”
About: Hi there! I’m Mia — a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m an active person who loves taking pups on hikes, walks, and outdoor adventures, always keeping their safety and happiness my top priority. I have a Rottweiler of my own who has gone through ACL surgeries, so I know how to provide gentle, attentive care for dogs recovering from injuries or procedures. From administering medication and assisting with mobility to offering extra patience and love, I understand what it takes to make every dog feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pup needs a hiking buddy, a calm companion during recovery, or just someone to love them like you do — I’m here to help. ❤️ I work from home, which means I have a very flexible and open schedule for daily walks, drop-ins, and daytime pet care. I love being able to spend my day surrounded by dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, playtime, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’m always nearby and available. I care for pets in my home as if they were my own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention. My home is a safe, quiet, comfortable environment where your dog can relax, play, and feel part of the family while you’re away. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I make sure every dog gets personalized care — whether that’s walks, outdoor playtime, snuggles on the couch, or quiet rest for pups who prefer downtime. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. When they stay with me, they’ll be treated like family. ❤️
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.
“Mark and Kendall were great with our dog obi. Obi has specific exercise needs and can be particular with his routine. They asked all the right questions and followed through taking great care of obi, sending updates and pics every night. We could tell how well cared for obi was, which was a big relief going on a week long vacation. Highly recommend their services and will be using them again in the future”
“Christian did a great job with my dog Cash. Cash is a very mellow, older dog. He was not feeling that well the day Christian came to stay, but he seemed better when I got back home.”
“Nadia was great! She took care of our house and pets and communicated frequently with photos and updates. Everything was nice and clean when we got back and our pets were happy. Thank you so much!”
About: I may be new to Rover, but I bring a strong caregiving background and love for animals. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I take the time to help them to feel comfortable, secure and loved. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule since I am off from my full time job. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I will continue to offer pet care around my work schedule and will keep my availability updated. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine, and take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs so they feel secure and well care for while their family is away.
“Our pups love Lindsay and we’ve been so grateful for her flexibility this most recent booking. Our house needed some repairs while she was dog sitting and she was so patient with the requests related to that.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in York on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 697 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across York. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 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.

- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
