“Jessica gets 5 stars from us! She connected instantly with both of our cats, and they absolutely loved all the attention and care she gave them. We really appreciated the daily picture updates from each visit. We’ll definitely ask Jessica to watch our cats again—she gave us so much peace of mind while we were away!”
“Lots of great communication- so helpful to our feeling at ease while being away. Very positive, and addresses specific things we noted before leaving. Fun pictures of our pets, and useful pictures of other things of interest (eg mail). She’s great!”
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.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years now. I have three pups of our own and come from a family of pet lovers! Love spending time with pups and helping them keep comfortable in the comfort of their own home. I work full time in a flexible and hybrid environment. Whether the pups are with me or I am staying with the pups in the owner’s home, I make sure they are comfortable and getting all necessary activities. I will work with each pet family’s care guidelines to make sure they are getting the best and stress free care! For us, we have a fenced in yard which helps us with ongoing activities.
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.
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: Pets have always been in my life since a very young age. I have been the go to person when friends and family needed trusted care while they were away. I realize the special relationship we have with our pets. I guarantee that when they are left with me I will treat them with all the love and attention as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to offer my full attention and commitment to your pet. Their care and wellness are my main priority. When caring for your pet in your home my number one priority is to make sure they feel safe. I will provide plenty of love and make sure whatever special instructions you have are followed.
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’m an experienced emergency veterinary technician working with two local hospitals, and I bring that same level of care and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I’m skilled with administering medications, managing heart conditions, diabetes, blindness, feeding tubes, bladder expression, incision care, and more. My training allows me to recognize potential health issues early—before they become critical—and to know when something can safely wait for veterinary attention. I especially enjoy supporting senior pets who need a little extra time and love, as well as helping energetic puppies learn to settle. I’m also comfortable with routine care, including nail trims (depending on your pet’s temperament) and anal gland expression. Beyond cats and dogs, I have some barn care experience (no more than 8 animals per visit) and enjoy caring for a variety of small animals—from hamsters to turtles. (No snakes, please!) Whether you’re traveling, your pet needs post-hospitalization home care, or you simply want someone to take your pup for a good jog, I’m here to provide compassionate, reliable care for your furry (and not-so-furry) family members. I am available Monday - Funday for all of your pet care needs. I am not available overnight from 9pm to 6:59 am. Please inquire if you are looking for a specific evening because there could be an exception. I dont bring other pets into my home. My dog has rules I must abide by or he will toss me out into the street.
“Lisa is so great with Lady! She takes such good care of her when I’m at work. Lisa takes the time to train Lady to go out and to stop biting the leash! I highly recommend Lisa if you are looking to book a visit. She is the best!!!”
About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I just love all animals. Dog walking is great for their physical and mental health/improves their joints, and all around good therapy for me and your pet. Play time is also important. I will treat your furry family member with the utmost care & diligence. I am responsible, attentive, & detail oriented and will provide quality services. Currently available during the day. Just about anyday with a little notice. Can set up regular scheduled walk times. Or if you are in a bind, and need, on spur of notice. I am willing to walk from your home, or to a near by park. Giving attention and time. I typically like to know if they have a specific diet, medications, preferences, etc.
“First time using Rover and it was a wonderful experience. Joli was a pleasure to work with. She took great care of my girls. It was great knowing they were in such great hands. Will definitely use again.”
About: I have been blessed with taking care of my two senior dogs; my labrador, Bentley, and my puggle, Lilly. As well as my puppy, who is also a Labrador, Toby! I have also pet-sat and walked my sisters GSP from when he was just a tiny, little guy! He’s a lot bigger now, and still has the same puppy energy! Either way, I am ready to care for your furry family. :) I currently work full-time as a barista. On average, I am at the cafe 4 days a week. Unfortunately, I do not have a set-schedule; however I am off every Sunday! Through the years of taking care of my three dogs, I can confidently say that I can take care of your fur-babies in many cases, whether they need to be let out to potty, need a play-mate, walk, etc. Growing up and having two labs, a puggle, and taking care of my boyfriends 2 Great Danes, and my sisters German Short-haired Pointer, I have knowledge on both smaller and larger dogs!
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - York
Our dog loves Alexis! He is a very sensitive but sweet boy and she did amazing with him. The photo updates she sent on his breaks were so cute and funny. We are so lucky we found Alexis- she was able to accommodate our schedule and did a wonderful job. We look forward to using Alexis in the future!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in York is $22 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 2,118 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across York. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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 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 .
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.
