About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 15 years. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while they are on weekend getaway or week long vacations. Our dog Stella loves to have other dog friends to hang around with. My wife and I both work from home and are able to take extra care of your dog during the day and at night our little ones once home from school love to play with the dogs. We are able to walk your dog two or three times a day during the work week and four or five times on the weekends along with letting the dogs play outside in the backyard that is fenced in and private. We interact with our dog each and every day, she typically follows us around the house and is very calm and quiet. The kids love to interact with her and throw the ball to her outside.
“Paige is fantastic—I’m so happy to have had someone so attentive and caring while away for Christmas. Paige was willing to meet me ahead of the booking which made me feel so much better with my two bunnies. She gave great updates and also cleaned up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Trial run for Amanda to get comfortable with the meds routine for one our cats. She did great! Even remembered the treats he gets afterwards. Looking forward to her taking care of the fur babies during our upcoming trip.”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages for the past 20 years. I have always used a very simple approach to dog sitting. A tired dog that is engaged is easy to take care of. My property has lots of things that will keep your dog curious and entertained. I have squirrels that run around in the trees and moles that leave chutes in the ground. Outside my fence you will often see rabbits, deer and the occasional opossum. Your dog will love the new smells and occasional sightings of these animals. For physical activity I have plenty of long stretches for play and ball chasing as well as some basic agility obstacles your dog may find interesting. My semi wooded lot has lots of sticks to chew on. Your pet will be included in walks around the neighborhood and my local park. Having recently retired from corporate America I am looking for things to keep me busy and make use of my love of pets and experience caring for them. I also recently lost my dog to cancer and while I am not quite ready to adopt a new dog I miss having one around. I do not have a 9-5 so except for the occasional errand I will be around for your pet full time. I take the responsibility of caring for your dog very seriously. I attach a tracking tag to the collar of every dog in my care as well as an extra layer of security. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have and rest assured you will not regret booking me for any of your pet needs. I am retired so with the exception of an errand I will be available to your pet full time. Pets are allowed on my furniture and bed. Please advise if this is a behavioral you are trying to discourage! Your pet will enjoy plenty of time outside and walks around my neighborhood and local park. I have a fenced in wooded acre. Your pet will be given free range of my home, but I will crate or contain them when I am away for their protection. I currently have no pets so your dog will receive my full attention.
“Jessica was great overall!! She communicated well before booking with her up until her last day. She’s very professional and personable. Our furbaby loved her dearly! I would definitely book with her again! Thanks Jessica!!”
About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, basic care, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following your pet’s routine so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care is naturally set into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, play time, and check-ins to ensure every pet gets consistent care. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to exercise, enrichment, and cuddles, while afternoons include potty breaks, supervision, and rest time. My schedule is flexible and intentionally designed so I can give every animal the attention, and time they deserve. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, supervised, and comforting environment set to their needs. I maintain clean spaces, provide cozy rest areas, and offer play time. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and preferred activities, so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine uninterrupted. I handle feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and any specific instructions exactly as provided. I also respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on communication, safety, and reliable, compassionate care that helps pets feel calm, comfortable, and understood.
“Miranda was incredible with our two chihuahuas! She went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable while we were out of town. It’s evident that she truly loves animals. We will definitely book Miranda again in the future!”
About: Great with all dogs, bulldogs are my speciality as I have cared for them for over 12 years. I also have experience with high energy dogs and seniors. Also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety. I am off all summer long as I am also a teacher. During the school year I can keep your pets over the weekend for a stay in my home. If I’m caring for you let inside my home, I will give them my undivided attention and love. We allow pets on our furniture and they will become part of the family.
“Carrie has been so polite, communicative, and so, so caring for my sweet doggo! I cannot recommend her enough and am so thankful to have a dog sitter who is compassionate and truly involved with her time spent with my baby!”
About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats. I have an abundance of time for walking you dog, checking in on your cat and doing drop ins into your home. If you have a busy work schedule, need to take a vacation or just need a break, I can be there for you! I have plenty of time to care for your best friends and fur babies. I am available on short notice would spend time with them pet them and make sure they are well attended to. You could go on vacation or to work and not worry about a thing. You would be supplied with a lot of photos for your comfort and for your mind to be at ease. I will care for your pets just as I care for mine. I will play with them, love them, pet them, and make sure that they have plenty of food and water. All of their needs will be attended to and you can rest easy when they are being cared for by me. ❤️
“Winnie loved having Lily come check in on her. I appreciated Lily being able to come on such short notice after another pet sitter had to cancel. Lily was very communicative, letting me know when she was on the way and checking in during the visit. Winnie is excited to see her again this weekend.”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs and one cat, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’ve learned a lot about dog body language and understanding each dog’s unique personality, and I’m always learning more about cats too. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently a cosmetology student and work part-time. Since I haven’t started school yet, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Even once classes begin, I’ll continue to keep my schedule updated and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. I always make sure every pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and love they deserve while they’re in my care. When caring for pets in your home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I like to approach every dog with a calm, positive energy and take the time to let them get to know me before we head out for a walk. I pay close attention to their body language, personality, and energy level so I can adjust to what they need. Whether your dog loves a long walk, a slower pace, or just extra encouragement, I’ll make sure they have a safe, enjoyable experience. I’ll also follow your pet’s routine and care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Katie was AMAZING! She helped me out super last minute and my dog loved her. She was careful and attentive and really made sure that Dempsey was comfortable with her from the start. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
About: I am a lifelong pet lover whoI started pet sitting for friends & family - cats and dogs - five years ago and I discovered that I really enjoyed it. I've offered services such as drop ins, daily feedings (multiple times if necessary), cleaning litter boxes, and so on. I am great at playing ball with dogs who love chasing balls; I also play with kitties who like playing with toys. If your pet is shy I sit quietly in the floor and let them come to me. I understand that it could take a visit or two for them to warm up to a stranger. I have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week from morning hours, beginning at 6am through late evening with services stopping at 10pm. I always begin with a meet-and-greet so I can get to know your fur baby (or babies!)—their routines, preferences, quirks, and any special needs. This lets me tailor their care so it feels familiar, comforting, and stress-free. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, they get to stay in the comfort and safety of their own surroundings, which helps keep their routine steady and their anxiety low. I provide attentive, loving care that includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks/litter care, medication (if needed), exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I follow your instructions exactly as you lay them out so everything feels just right for them. No matter the service, your pets are treated like family—with love, patience, connection, and attention to every detail.
“Mandi did an amazing job (again!) taking care of my cat Leo. He is super scared of strangers at first and takes a long time to open up. She does a great job at still spending time with him even if he’s not always seeking affection and she still gives him some pets and lets him know she’s there and he’s not alone. I can always tell the difference in Leo when I get home from a long trip when she is going over to take care of him. He is less stressed and less nervous! Mandi even watered my Christmas tree for me this time too which was very helpful even though I know it’s an annoying task. I always count on Mandi when I need a sitter she does such a good job!”

Open Availability, S-S. I’m new to the area and looking for work to fill in before I start at my job. I’d love to help you with your furry friends! I am comfortable coming to your home/ taking your pet on walks but I’m currently unable to bring any animals to me. I always come stacked with treats though😋

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - York
I’ve never used a pet sitter service before and was nervous to do so but our pets (cats, leopard geckos and a bearded dragon) were in great hands with Kierson! She was great at communicating with me before and after each visit, as well as sending pictures. She was even kind enough to water my seedlings for me! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.
Very nice and fun girl..She listens to instructions well and is always friendly. She sent a photo everyday of the "Critter Crew".. She is reliable and flexible.. Very trustworthy and good to your 4 legged children... She comes highly recommended!! 👍👍 All my cats approved of her..😁

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. 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
