“Jessica is amazing! She takes the time to gain the trust of our shy boy cat every time, and she has lots of love for our social girl. We feel better about leaving our furry family home while we travel knowing that Jessica will take care of everything they need. 😻”

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.

“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”

About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! As a graduate student, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have the most flexibility during evenings and weekends. I enjoy fitting pet care into my routine and am happy to work with owners to make sure their pets get the care and attention they need! I care for each pet based on their normal routine and individual needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other care they may need. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe while their owners are away!

About: Having grown up around dogs and cats, I'm comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves to play or prefers a calmer environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you're away. I work part time during the week, so I have a lot of time to care for pets, do check in’s, feed, and give extra cuddles! I live in a walkable neighborhood and a backyard with lots of space for your pet to roam around. I also live in a clean, spacious house.

About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and affectionate to shy or recently rescued. I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, including both cats and dogs. I also have hands on experience helping stray and rescue cats adjust to indoor environments. In addition, I’m comfortable handling small animals and have experience owning and caring for ferrets. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I currently just graduated high school at York County School of Technology while enrolled in the Licensed Cosmetology program! I obtained my cosmetology license in December of 2025. I’m currently waiting to begin my journey in the esthetics side of the cosmetology industry! I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, as well as mid afternoon and nights. I personally prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress free environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can keep their environment consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive to details such as securing doors, safe feeding practices, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I’m also respectful of client homes and follow all instructions carefully to ensure both pets and property are well cared for. For more anxious or shy animals, I focus on patience and gentleness to build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“Jade (Allie) was amazing with my cats! I had a short window to find a catsitter and Jade put me at ease with her caring and knowledge of cats. One of my kitties was just getting over a Uti and Jade was extremely diligent in checking on her and giving her meds. She gave me detailed updates and great videos and pictures each visit. I felt very confident in her care of my kitties and trusted her in my (new) home. Will definitely have her back. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I got my first dog at 3 and cared for her till she was 13 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of breeds from corgis to bernese mountain dogs. I am there to help walk bathe or spend time with your best friend when you are at work or away. I am home right now during the week and have been looking to fill my time and what better way then with your furry friends I am watchful if you have a fenced backyard I’d still spend time with you pet and play fetch or run with them to exercise them. While out walking just out of safety if I see another dog on or off leash or even a person I turn around or switch sides of the street. I always check about allergies or triggers for pets. Their safety and comfort are my main concern.

About: I have years of experience with all kinds of pets, both my own and of my friends and family. This includes dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, pigs, cows, etc. I want to give the best possible care to your companions! I am currently in college which only keeps me away for about 3-4 hours at most a few days of the week. I work a part time job that allows me more flexibility in scheduling as well. I have a long lead for dogs in the yard that is tethered as well as a handheld 30+ foot leash for myself. I have a large and small crate that is accessible.

About: I have been house & pet sitting since I was a young teenager. I take pride in being responsible and leaving things better than I found them. I am comfortable with all ages of dogs & cats, and I have provided special care to senior dogs who needed home cooked meals & medication. I am comfortable administering various types of medications, or caring for animals with special needs. I work full time during school hours, but I am available in the afternoon, evening, & weekends for dog walks & pet sitting. I will still watch pets during the week if I’m working, and I am willing stay at the owner’s home with planning & discussion. It works very well for me to care for animals in their home. I notice that animals feel more comfortable staying in their space. I value keeping someone’s home clean while they are away.

About: I have 5 years of experience with pet sitting. I grew up around dogs and cats and love them both equally. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats, due to this I can handle different animals and different situations as well! I am currently working part-time, but I currently have open availability due to it being the summer months and not having college classes at the moment. When I am taking care of pets I make sure they have enough of food and water before leaving the house, and if they need to be in a certain room of the house or in a crate I make sure they are secured in that area of the home.

About: I am experienced in caring for senior and special needs pets, as well as administering oral, transdermal, or injection based medications. I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all temperments, personalities, sizes, and energy levels, as well as small animals including rodents, birds, and reptiles. I do not work a traditional job, so I am fortunate to be able to make loving and caring for your pets my priority without the rush! I take the safety and security of your pets and home very seriously, I treat your home with the utmost care and respect during visits. I tend to be pretty on top of communication, and I love sending owners picture and video updates of their pets. I know how upsetting it can be when you're missing your pets, and my goal ultimately to reduce the stress and uncertainty of both you and your pet while you're apart. I prefer to care for pets in their home if they are typically distressed outside of their normal environment. However, if you would prefer your pet be taken care of in my home, that's not a problem! I have a fenced in yard with lots of places to walk and parks nearby. We have a friendly Australian Shephard to keep your pets company, as well as plenty of activities and toys for enrichment. I strive to keep your pet on the same routine they have at home and add plenty of activity to reduce the distress they feel in your absence. We do have a cat who is more reserved and tends to stay in his room, as well as three kiddos, all around age 10 with unlimited energy and love for your animals. As far as transportation, I have an SUV with a doggy hammock and seatbelt for safe transport, as well as many different size pet carriers.

“Bronte is so personable, kind, observant, and communicative! She even washed and dried the sheets she left for a one night stay. My baby is really happy today and I loved getting videos and pictures the whole time. You can tell when you meet her she has such a sweet heart and a good soul and it feels good to know my kitty cat who is my baby is in good hands. She even drove out for a meet and greet which means so much to me because I’m a little crazy as a pet parent. My house looks great and my baby taken care of and I would absolutely hire Bronte again, no questions asked!”

About: I am a mature and reliable pet sitter with a preference for cats but will also be happy to provide care for small dogs or other animals. I operate with a genuine love for all all animals and have a history of community service and donations to animal shelters and causes. I have been a cat owner for over 12 years and currently have one senior cat. When it comes to cat care, my extensive experience and commitment to feline companionship shine through. I specialize in socializing skittish cats, exercising larger cats, and soothing senior cats. I am detail-oriented, ensuring that your pets get the care and attention they are accustomed to, including medication management, grooming, and in-home care. I am proactive in communication and am also highly responsive, giving pet-owners piece of mind. But that's not all – my versatility extends to caring for dogs as well. I bring the same level of dedication and expertise to canine companions, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or adherence to dietary requirements, I'm well-equipped to provide comprehensive care for dogs of smaller sizes. With me as your trusted pet sitter, you can confidently leave both your cats and dogs in capable hands. Your pets' happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I take pride in delivering exceptional care tailored to their individual needs, whether they're four-legged felines or canine companions. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate most requests with enough notice. While I can provide care for your pet in your own home, I am also available to host your pet in my home. I have a one-level home with hard wood floors (for easy cleanup) and pet-proof furniture. I do not let animals outside unattended so if you have a cat that likes to wander outside, I will not be comfortable allowing that

FAQs for Cat Sitting - York

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in York is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 1,046 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across York. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in York. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
