“Highly recommend Claudia! She was an amazing house sitter and took amazing care of my two dogs. She kept me updated with how they were doing the whole time I was gone and I am very appreciative of the amazing care she provided for my dogs!”
“Rajda did an amazing job taking care of our 4 small dogs! Each one has their unique personality and she was able to meet each of their needs. They loved her from the first time they met her. She was able to think outside of the box to make sure they all ate and gave our senior dog her daily medicine. She followed our directions and kept us informed and sent photos and videos so we could see how our babies were doing. She was very responsive and left the house in great shape. She even watered our flowers. She was the best sitter we have had! We will be hiring her again!”
“Ashley was fantastic! She housesat for our two pups who don’t do well being alone. She gave them lots of attention and treats. She sent many updates and was very communicative the entire time. She followed all of our instructions and made sure the dogs were taken care of. She was great to work with throughout the entire process of coordinating a meet and greet and confirming all of the details for sitting in advance. We would absolutely use Ashley again!”
“Grace did a wonderful job with my crew of 5. She was reliable. My dogs felt comfortable enough with her that she was able to pick them up and cuddle and was able to give meds to one. Thank you Grace!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing! We trusted her with our three fur babies—two cats and our young pit mix—and she took incredible care of them while staying at our home. During our trip, she navigated a major heat wave by making sure the pets stayed safe, limiting their time outside and keeping them comfortable. She also handled severe storms that caused a power outage and wind damage to one of our trees. Amber kept us informed every step of the way, helped manage the cleanup, and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond anything we expected. Knowing our pets and our home were in such capable, caring hands meant everything to us. We couldn’t recommend Amber more highly for her love of animals, her professionalism, and the exceptional care she provides for both your pets and your home.”
About: My name is Lauren and currently reside in Elmhurst. I am looking for pet walking jobs (or jogging) or pet sitting jobs to help supplement my income, but I also genuinely just love being around dogs. My family has had pets my entire life and I have lots of experience walking and providing care for animals. Big dogs, little dogs, rabbits, cats and even guinea pigs. I have experience raising Guide Dogs through the New Zealand Blind Foundation as well as Leader Dogs for the Blind in Michigan. I was a volunteer at the Boulder Humane Society in Colorado in my undergraduate days so I am used to all breeds/types of dogs. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or the occasional dog walk - I’d love to meet you and your pup.
“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of Hazel and my two cats. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my pets. Thank you!!”
“Beatriz did a wonderful job taking care of my boy. She had her hands full with him not feeling well. She responded quickly to all my check ins and kept me updated. I'm so happy I found someone that is willing to come stay in my home and care for him. Will be using her again. Thank you!”
“Amanda was so good with my dog. Dixie. She is great and I will definitely use her again! I also left Amanda a cash $20 tip for her conscientious and attentive service.”
“Olivia was great with my energetic dogs! She made sure to exercise and spend time with dogs as well as take the time to understand their needs. She was also a great at providing updates and pictures through her stay.”
“Keri took great care of Benny! She stayed overnight and left the house clean. Keri gave updates and pictures along the way. We’ll definitely request her care for our big pup again soon.”
“Stephanie was a joy to have taken care of my kitties. I asked for pictures to be sent from each feeding, as one of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin (and I can be a nervous mama around his health!) She sent lots of photos right on time and my cats warmed up to her right away. She was super communicative– asking questions and always responding right away. House was left nice and tidy, and she even offered to put new clean sheets back on the bed when stripping the ones off from her stay. I will definitely be calling Stephanie again!”
“Melissa is amazing! She treated our dogs like they’re her own. They felt so comfortable with her and loved snuggling with her! She was also so accommodating. Anything we asked of her, she never hesitated. We will definitely have her dogsit again!”
“Diane is always so thoughtful with Juni! We're very appreciative of all the care she gives her and how communicative she is with us throughout the stay. It puts our minds at ease.”
“Katherine stayed with our two dogs over Memorial Day weekend. She kept us updated, shared pictures, handled their allergy meds and somewhat complicated food situation, and was overall lovely to work with!”
“Sasha was a wonderful house sitter for our two cats. She provided frequent updates about how they were doing and worked with me and my schedule before her visit to meet the cats. We would definitely love to have Sasha take care of our cats again!”
“I can't recommend Jed highly enough! He truly saved the day by accepting my booking at the very last minute. He was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, Mazi adored him. I will definitely be booking with him again!”

Amanda is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever hired. She watched our three Russian Blues (Bella, JoJo, and Parker), and even our shy kitties came right out to play with her! She paid attention to every single detail of their care. Beyond being amazing with the cats, she went above and beyond by bringing in packages and watering our plants. When my flight was canceled and I was stranded, she extended the stay immediately with no questions asked. Absolute peace of mind. Thank you, Amanda! 10/10 recommendation!

Highly recommend Britt to take care of your pets! She was very responsive and provided updates with every visit. She walked the dogs in cold weather, gave them food, water, medicine and spent time with them. I really appreciate how much she cared about the dogs and cannot say enough great things about her!
Ava is absolutely amazing. Her attention to the dogs was outstanding. Communication and updates/pictures were so awesome to have while we were gone. The house was in spotless condition when we came back home. I don’t even have enough words to express how much I recommend her!
We got so lucky with Jessemy! He was amazing with our two clowns. Loved getting pictures and videos of them. I appreciated how patient he was with Taco since he does have separation anxiety but otherwise they are both sweet boys. We will definitely will be reaching out to Jessemy again when he need someone to take care of our babies! He genuinely cares about your babies and your honey. Very kind!

FAQs for House Sitting - York Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in York Center on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,229 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across York Center. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Center 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 Center 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.
Tip: 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 Center 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in York Center. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
