“Jessica is amazing as usual! ☺️ Always feels nice to get away with knowing my fur babies will be taken care of. So happy that Lenny is coming around too! 🐱 Thank you!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Kara was great with everything from helping me to navigate through the app, to providing excellent care and great communication for my kitties! I would definitely recommend her services!!”
“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”
“Christy is the best!! We rely on her for all of our kitty needs. Our shy little one has really come out of her shell with visitors thanks to Christy's patience and support! 💜”
“Kitty crew all loved her. My oldest cat is normally my judge of good babysitters because of her skittish nature. Natalie had her out of hiding and playing on the first visit. Mira doesn't even come out of hiding for my family (and she used to live with them).”
“I had such a great experience with Anna. She took care of my dogs for an hour a day for three days right after one of them had surgery, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better support during that time. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and clearly very loving with them. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially with my dog recovering. It was clear they were in good hands and being well cared for. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up a mess my dog made 2 of her visits, which I really appreciated and didn’t expect. That level of care and thoughtfulness meant a lot. Overall, I genuinely really liked her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and kind to care for their pets.”
“Chloe did a great job with our ducks! They were happy and healthy when we got back. She went above and beyond when it ended up being colder than expected. I appreciate all the pictures she sent and the care that she gave them. We would book with her again!”
“Third time having Stephanie 'babysit' for us, and already rebooked for next trip! The kids really love her interaction, and her photos look like a professional took them in the wild❣️”
“Elise is seriously the best of the best. I’ve been using her as a sitter since 2024. There have been a few occasions that I have had to send a last minute request and she is always accommodating”
“Ronny has been great. Our dogs love him and come running when we say his name. He is very communicative. He takes the time to answer questions and offer advise for our puppy training. I will, and am, using his services again.”
About: Cause i have none of my own (yet) and will treat your pet like they are my own fur baby! I had a dog growing up and I used to help out at a dog kennel a few years ago. 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
“Carley is amazing! She goes above and beyond every time caring for my cats, bringing in the mail, and watering plants. I feel completely at ease knowing my home and pets are in such great hands. Highly recommend her!”
“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!!”
“What a great experience ! The dogs love Gabrielle ! She was wonderful with our dogs . We were going to take them to a kennel "resort" that has concrete floors... I AM SO GLAD WE CHOSE ROVER ! AND SO GLAD WE CHOSE GABRIELLE ! Highly recommend !”
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.
About: I have experience in both senior dog/cat care, aswell as raising and training puppies ! I have had 4 dogs throughout my life. My dog Marty, who passed recently, was 18 years old. I was able to care, watch, and love him throughout his senior years , which built strength within helping care for senior dogs. Also, every one of my dogs was adopted as a puppy, which helped me gain experience in training, and taking care of puppies, as well as dogs of any age! I have pet sat for neighbors and family members countless of times, including cats, dogs, bunnies, and even lizards! With my schedule, I am available anytime after 11 am for drop ins and walks! I absolutely love working and caring for any type of animal and would love to help care for yours :) I work at a school so for right now I have tons of free time because of the summer months ! I’m free any time or day :) I do not accept dogs at my house just yet, but will be soon ! As for now, with pet care at a clients house, if allowing, I am more than willing to help clean any messes from the animals, and casual cleaning around the areas of the house I am in during my stay/visit! All I ask is for a set of guidelines on your dogs routine and assure that your pet and environment will be well cared for :)
“Lauren was available to come and let Ruby out on short notice. She had to wear a cone and I was stressed leaving her alone. Lauren sent me a picture and eased my stress. She’s great.”
About: I was a professional dog trainer for 8+ years. I also worked at a professional boarding kennel during that time. Now I compete in a variety of dog shows, sport competitions, and have done national commercial work with my dogs. I have worked with and taken care of dogs from newborn to geriatric. Currently I am not taking on any training clients. You can trust your pets stay will be safe and secure with someone who knows how to read even the most subtle body language cues. All dogs must be currently on a flea and tick preventative for in house care. My availability does become more limited in the spring and summer due to competitions. My availability may be more than what’s listed here, please message me to discuss your dates! I work from home 3 days a week which allows me to keep dogs out of crates and play inside or outside in the fenced yard, as well as a 25 minute walk for lunch. I have a fully fenced yard and my own dogs to keep pet sits busy playing! I always have frozen filled kongs or other puzzles for dogs to do for “quiet time” each dog is crated individually for any longer lasting treat.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - York
Natalie was AMAZING!!! I had messaged her very last minute the day prior because my previous sitter cancelled, and she was quick to respond and was happy to help! She followed all instructions perfectly, and even left us the sweetest card, a sticker of a golden retriever, and a magnetic Polaroid of my puppy that absolutely melted my heart. My puppy is an energetic one, and she handled him perfectly and took the most adorable photos and he looked like he was having the best time. I will definitely be reaching out in the future when I need a drop in visit again!!!
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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gaby was absolutely amazing with our dogs, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. I had to book with her very last minute because of my work schedule, and she didn’t hesitate to help. She was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process completely stress-free. From the moment we met her, she was kind, professional, and clearly cared deeply about animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Gaby went above and beyond to make sure they stayed on their normal routine and received plenty of attention, love, and care. It was obvious that she treated them like they were her own. Another huge plus is that her prices are very reasonable, especially considering the exceptional level of care she provides. Finding someone who is affordable, reliable, and truly loves animals is rare, and Gaby exceeded every expectation we had. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and amazing dog sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a York stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
