“Dai Yah, was prompt with her response when we urgently needed a last minute same-day booking request in order to go out to an activity and then dinner with family. Were extremely mindful and careful when looking over sitters profiles and this is the 4th time we have booked a house sitting request via Rover app and it was a pleasure to work with DaI Yah. If you’re interested in booking a sitter that has such a pleasant vibe like super chill and easy to follow care instructions for my little 5lb Shih-Poo then schedule with DaI Yah, we will be booking again many more times for DaI Yah, I already mentioned to her that were interested in a repeat sitter so Blaze has a pleasant experience each time we need house sitting care. Dai Yah, and I spoke with each other college and family and goals so it was a great having the brief conversation to try to build that sitter-pet parent connection.”
“Mara was wonderful with our Goldendoodle. She was very kind and energetic and matched our dogs enthusiasm for play. We could tell right away her love and care for our pet was just like her own.”
“I had an amazing experience with Jerusha and her boyfriend Ethan as my pet sitters. They did a fantastic job caring for my two dogs, Henry and Georgie, as well as my cats. Henry, who is usually fearful and anxious around men, surprisingly warmed up to Ethan and loved spending time with him. Georgie, my social butterfly, had a blast playing at the park. Even my antisocial cat Logan, who typically avoids people, felt comfortable enough to sleep on Jerusha's lap. They walked my dogs regularly, provided plenty of playtime, and ensured all my pets were well-loved and cared for. They sent so many lovely pictures too!! I highly recommend Jerusha and Ethan to anyone looking for attentive and compassionate pet sitters!”

About: Hi! I’m Alyssa, I grew up around all kinds of animals and it’s made me a reliable and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with them. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available anytime after 1 PM everyday of the week for walks or drop-ins! I also work part-time throughout the week, but I still have a lot of free time and can often fit in pet care depending on the timing. Because I keep my schedule fairly open, I’m able to focus on making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, personality, and schedule so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home due to the animals that already live here and the limited space. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home through drop-ins, walks, or house sitting where they are most comfortable in their familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I respect your home, keep things clean, and will always keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and happy.
“We absolutely adore Lily! She did such an amazing job caring for our two kittens and following the instructions we had on them and our house. She communicated very well and we loved getting picture and video updates. One of our kittens, Luna, is extremely outgoing and the other, Lily, is very shy. Human Lily did a great job giving cat Lily the space she needed but also gave her love and attention when she sought it out. Luna loved human Lily! We will definitely be booking with Lily again. She checked all our boxes on what we were looking for. So much so that I wish we could keep her all to ourselves! :)”
About: Hi! My name is Carina and Ive always been an animal lover. My friends and family call me Snow White because of it. If there is an animal around thats where you'll find me. I have experience with fostering bottle fed kittens, kittens and cats with medical needs, dog and cat ownership. I've also had experience caring for a dog with epilepsy and a dog with severe anxiety. I love all animals and tend to be the one that can get the less social ones to warm up to me. I would love to come meet your furry family and help keep them loved and cared for when needed. Animals provide us with such happiness and unconditional love. I believe we all have a duty to give back as much of that love as possible. They surely deserve it! I am currently available 24/7 to care for your pets. Whether you need check ins, full day or overnight care, I am available to help! Since I have two cats of my own, care will be provided in your home. I believe caring for animals in an environment they are familiar with is essential to their safety and comfort. All care notes and preferences will be followed to a T and all animals will be treated with the upmost caution, safety and love.
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Caylee was amazing. She was very sweet and took great care of my pup. Showed up on time and great communication. Always sent pictures. Kept my dog great company while I was away from my trip. I will highly recommend her for any one needing a dog sitter. I will be reaching out to her any time I can’t take my dog with me. She is first on the list now. You can trust her with your pets.”

About: 🌱Since a little girl all the way up to now I have been surrounded by animals. I have experience in caring for both cats and dogs alike as I have fur babies myself; 3 cats and a Pharaoh Hound. 🌱 🌿I will gladly follow special care instructions and supervision advisories as needed to ensure your pet is comfortable in their own home.🌿 ✨Have an Exotic/ “Unconventional” pet? I’ll care for them too! 🐠🦜🐁🐍🦎( this excludes Insect pets.)✨ All I ask is that if I am to pet sit to please allow me to bring my dog if it is overnight stay. I am typically available full-time on the weekends only as I have all day off on those days. Weekdays I am available after 5pm. After I get off of work I typically care for my own pets before relaxing myself. I like to follow instructions provided by the owner. I typically prefer to give pets their respective space unless they show to be needy with affection or hyperactive and need an outlet for their energy via playtime!
“Christopher was a great sitter for our 4 month old lab, Hootie! He sent pictures and updates for us while we were away. When we watched our pet cam to check on our pup after he had left, Hootie was fast asleep- which never happens as he has some separation anxiety. We could tell that he had a great time and that Christopher took the time to have play time along with a structured visit! Thanks again!”
“Cobi has been absolutely amazing in every way! She was the first person I had experience with from Rover and I was blown away! With working night shift and having a 10 week old puppy, it’s been a lot of stress and very time consuming (as puppies are). However, she has eased so much of the weight and stress off my shoulders! She was adaptable and flexible with my schedule, communicated with me consistently, helped me with basic training, and always showed up and cared for my puppy! I will definitely be reaching back out :)”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have both a dog and a cat who mean the world to me. 🐶🐱 Over the years, I've cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and repeat clients through drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I'm comfortable administering oral medications when needed and always do my best to follow each pet's normal routine so they feel as happy and stress-free as possible. I currently have flexible availability for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. Once my fall semester begins on August 25 and I start my weekday nanny position on August 31, my availability will become more limited, but I'll still be accepting bookings that fit my schedule. I do my best to respond quickly to messages and keep my calendar up to date so you'll always know when I'm available. I know it's a big deal to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. During our meet and greet, I'll ask plenty of questions to learn your pet's routines, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible.
“Kathryn was great! She was accommodating to a last minute change and very attentive to our babies. She is very nice and was communicative with any concerns she had during her stay. She followed instructions and made adjustments as needed. Would definitely consider her aa our sitter again!”
“Maryellen was great! She came for a meet and greet. I liked her and she seemed comfortable with our two large barking dogs. The day we were headed out of town she texted me to double check our leave time. She sent photos each day. She took them for walks and stayed in our house for two nights. Taking both dogs out is a slight arm workout. Dogs were fed and happy when we returned. I would use Maryellen again for overnights or just walks and I would recommend her to friends.”

Fantastic service as always! Our pets absolutely love Kiersen (and her partner). They treated our pets and our home with so much care and respect and were flexible with our schedule which was so helpful. Kiersen is super communicative and does everything to make your pets comfortable - you will not regret hiring them for your pet sitting needs 😊
It was so nice to be able to go away and know that our house and animals were in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer as she will now be my go to when I go away! AND, my dog is a finicky eater, yet she ate all her food for Jennifer, that told me everything I needed to know 🥰
Chloe was absolutely amazing! She came to my house to watch my dog for the week and was so attentive, loving, and respectful of our home. She loved on our boy making him feel right at home. Her communication was more than I could have asked for- I received updated and photos all day long. I will definitely be using Chloe for all future needs!

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!

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 .
