“Dana is beyond... she's the best dog sitter we've ever had! She loved on the doggies and took such great care of them. She sent me pics and stories of what they were doing for the entire trip. It feels so good to find someone that honestly cares about your dogs and give such a sense of comfort when I have to be away. THANKS DANA!!!”

About: I've grown up with pets and have since always come home to one. I started pet sitting in high school and continued to sit for the same and new families for years. I love all dogs and got my cat about two years ago. With my years of experience, I have cared for puppies up to senior dogs, cats, and some special needs animals. I love all animals and would be thrilled to care for yours! I am currently a part-time student in college and have a lot of time. I do have some schoolwork, but it's very light and I pretty much have an open week. I also have weekends free, so I am very flexible and can work whenever. Your pet's wellbeing, safety, and comfort is my top priority. I am an avid rule-follower and love thorough instructions to be able to give your pet the best care they need and deserve. I have my own cat and have trusted fellow Rover sitters and would love to be able to do the same. I believe in leaving a place the same or better than it was found, and would do the same when visiting your home.

“Maddie was just what our family needed. She is responsible and a good communicator- our two Goldens really felt relaxed around her and she gave them really good care. Maddie even got our one storm-phobic dog through two Thunderstorms and they had all their needs met. We felt completely at ease being out of town and leaving Maddie in charge.”

About: Are you looking for the BEST pup 🐶 sitter look no further! Want someone who knows dogs inside and out! I’m your girl! I will love your pups like they are my own. Don’t DELAY bookings go fast! Filling up already for holidays no more summer bookings available!If you want to secure a booking with me don’t wait! My repeats alone are huge. See what sets me above all others❤️ What’s sets me apart from other sitters LOVE 💕. When your fur baby is in my care they are truly loved when they are staying here in my home. This is their home when you are away! My repeat customers alone are numerous because of this exact love we give them. I have rescued dogs and cats for over 12 years!! Our household is an animal heaven. Our family truly bonds with your fur baby. I love caring for our four legged family members. I am trust worthy and patient. I have a large yard fenced in yard with lots of room for play. (There also lots of animals who are in the area fyi. Some dogs have been known to grab what’s leftover from hawks or coyotes). I am great with puppies and puppy training lots of positive reinforcement. I do not take care of senior pups with mobility issues or are blind. Will play with them and give lots of attention to. I have boarded dogs, cats, bunnies and hamsters. I understand when attention is needed. I however do not allow anyone in my home during meet n greet or at time of drop off. Meet n greets are held outside in my front yard. I also do not pick up or do drops off unless you are local. Please know I only crate if the owner crates. Pups are free to roam home and are never confined or restrained in any way shape or form. I am vetted and background checked unfortunately owners are not so please understand. Also at time of drop offs and picks they will all be done outside. DROP Off and P/U times are somewhat flexible as I have teenagers to drop off at school and athletics. If your flight leaves in the am drop offs are the night before as to not stress the entire family with trying to get out the door. If your flight is afternoon again drop offs are between 5am-7am. IF your flight is early morning I require drop off the night before. Often it’s too stressful on the family and pup for rush drop offs. Accurate TIMES that are entered is critical. If you enter for instance 5am-7am and that is fine but if your flight is leaving at 7:45am please please correspond with me the day before in an accurate time as I know airlines love to change times on their customers. 😂. I base my day and my families day around what you enter. Also sometimes I may have to ask for an accommodation from you on my end if one of my teens has an appt. I am a widow trying to raise my three teens on my own. So please understand. I try my best to accommodate if you get a late start because you are getting ready and fall behind but please also understand I have my families commitments also and it might end in me not being able to take the reservation last minute. Communication is much needed on both of our ends. Emergencies happen. Illness, hospitalization and flights totally get it and I’ve often waived extra days for pup owners. I’ve actually had people who dog sit also who decide when they will drop off or arrive at their convenience even though we had agreed on a time in the messages. I ask for mutual understanding and respect of both of our timelines. If you enter a time frame of 1-8 pm it needs to be revised to a more accurate time. I have specific times in the am and pm for drop off. Again I do not do pick ups or drop offs. Pups need to be brought to me. Many pup owners are anxious and are first time Rover. Drop offs would be like a child always best to let me bring pup in alone. Long good byes simply aren’t good for your pup as you linger. Please no peanut butter cbd as my teenagers have peanut allergies. I can provide pictures of house. I am pretty flexible and can attend to your pets needs. I am able to take in pet families with more than one. I have the space to place pups on separate floors. There are times when drop offs and picks ups overlap with other pups. It is inevitable that this will happen. I am constantly busy. Circumstances do come up and some pet owners need emergency help so at times more then one pup might be in home. Flights get canceled etc. and I wouldn’t toss any pup out. Rest assured I won’t ever expose your pup when cross over times happen. So please understand as your flight might get canceled or traffic is horrible. Some things are out of ones control. I am a widowed mom and some things pop up and some flexibility is needed on my end from time to time. Please be sure to leave or update times of drop off and pickup as your travel approaches. I plan according to your times on any other commitments. If your dog requires brushing I will charge for grooming. I do not groom unless it’s been booked. Also please review my 7 day cancellation. It is also crucial that your spouse/partner has access to the pet reservation should your phone break/get lost. Provide emergency contacts and vet. Please consider me for your pets needs. Thank you for your consideration. Have a great day. Also please no peanut products my teenagers are allergic. I also don’t do pick ups or drops offs unless u are local DG. Also as for senior pups, this is crucial as many senior pups who are experiencing anxiety will often have loose stool and experience anxiety on a a different level since some are experiencing doggie dementia and do not understand being with another family. A senior pups stay no matter how much we love them and care for them can experience a difficult stay. If your senior pups have difficulty walking and have doggie dementia a long stay sometimes can be hard on them. Doggie anxiety meds are needed. My routine begins at 5am. Outside time begins along with feedings. Lots of yard time during the day. Simple routine with lots time for fur babies. I’ve been taking care of fur babies for over 12 years and have no problem fitting a fur baby into a routine. I do prefer early am drop offs. Between the hours of 6am-8:30(at the latest or after 4:30/5pm. I do keep to a time schedule and I often have other commitments planned around when you give a time for drop off or pick up so it’s important to keep this in mind. I also have three teenage mini adults. So there are times or things that can come up such as dr appts I may need to bring them to. In general pics and updates are in the am and late afternoon/pm. I do not allow anyone in my home for meet n greets or drop offs/pick ups. As I am vetted pup owners are not and I unfortunately have had some unfortunate experiences. So please understand I am a widow raising three kids on my own and safety is my utmost priority. I do run kids to and from school along with other appts. So I do ask for time forgiveness at times as I would do the same for unexpected situations on your end as well with flight cancellations and traffic delays. Pups are never ever crated unless specified from the owner. Pups are free to roam home. I typically do not drive to pick up or drop off unless u live within a 5 minute radius of my home. Also no peanut treats or peanut butter my teenagers are allergic. I take the utmost care for your fur baby! Huge fenced in yard for pups to roam, run and Play! We have lots of frisbees, tennis balls and toys! They are taken outside several times a day for lots of outside time depending on weather. They are never left alone in the fenced in yard (please be advised I live where there are a lot of animals in the area coyotes and hawks have been known to leave leftovers in the yard). I am out there with them but cannot guarantee that by the time I get to the back of the yard it’s not consumed. I cannot guarantee a tick might not attach as this is just life and it happens. Please make sure to have your pets up to date on shots and flea and tick prevention. Especially since the bigger dogs are free to roam the fenced in yard. You can feel confident that the safety and environment while here in my home will be taken. Remember to always include a paper bio as well as all important information for your pet. As I always do my best to adhere to your times of being fed sometimes feedings times are adjusted to our daily routine. Senior pups can experience depression, if they suffer from mobility and are on meds sometimes the vet is the best place for them. Please understand many pups who suffer from doggie dementia, mobility issues have a very hard time away from you and will not eat, take meds or drink water. They are best with a vet. Please always consult your vet for proper care anti anxiety meds etc if you decide to board your n someone’s home. I have seen some pups who suffer from mobility issues prior to their visit, doggie dementia have a slight decline to to confusion etc. please board your senior dog with any of these issue at your vet for the best care when doggie dementia, mobility issues and anxiety is present. senior dogs: • Stress and anxiety: Senior dogs, especially those with cognitive decline, can be more susceptible to stress and anxiety when they're suddenly removed from their familiar surroundings and placed in a new environment. This stress can manifest in various ways, like pacing, barking, refusal to eat, and even worsening of cognitive symptoms. • Disruption of routine: Dogs, especially older ones, thrive on routine. Boarding facilities, while aiming to provide consistent care, may still have different schedules for feeding, exercise, and interaction compared to what the dog is used to at home. This disruption can be unsettling and increase anxiety. • Difficulty navigating a new environment: Senior dogs with mobility issues or vision/hearing loss may find a new environment disorienting and challenging to navigate. This can lead to fear of approach and handling, irritability, and decreased activity levels. • Increased risk of illness: Stress senior dogs: • Stress and anxiety: Senior dogs, especially those with cognitive decline, can be more susceptible to stress and anxiety when they're suddenly removed from their familiar surroundings and placed in a new environment.

Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances, weakened immune systems, and digestive issues. • Cognitive Decline: Cognitive dysfunction can make it harder for senior dogs to adapt to new situations and can worsen symptoms like disorientation and anxiety. • Mobility Issues: Arthritis and other mobility problems can make it difficult for senior dogs to navigate unfamiliar spaces, use stairs, or even get up and down comfortably. • Weakened Immune System: Older

Her communication and willingness for a meet and greet leading up to the stay was reassuring for us. The pups did really well with her including our "high maintenance" senior dog with some physical limitations. Kennedy arrived when she promised and communicated appropriately throughout the stay. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone in our area in need of a dog sitter.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they weren’t pets they were family and that’s exactly how I treat every dog in my care. That lifelong bond is what I bring to every sit I understand how dogs think, what they need to feel safe in a new environment, and how to read when something’s off. Big dogs, seniors, high energy runners, gentle giants— I am comfortable with all of them, and I give every dog the individual attention they deserve. When you leave your dog with me you won’t be wondering how they’re doing. —You’ll know. Because I send real updates, real photos and honest communication throughout every visit and day. Your dog will be walked, loved, and genuinely looked after—not just minded. Pet care isn’t fit around my life— it is my life. One of the most important things you can know about me as a sitter: I am fully available, every day of the week. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into gaps between other commitments-it is my primary focus and the thing I show up for completely. That means whether you need a morning dropping an afternoon walk in overnight stay midweek or last-minute care when life throws something unexpected at you— I’m here. No juggling. No half attention. Just genuine, devoted care for your pet when you need most. You’re home. Their comfort. My fault attention. When I sit in your home, my job is simple: your pet should never know you’re gone that means preserving every single detail of the life they know— the routines, their safe spots, their feeding schedule, their medication’s— exactly as you’ve set it up. No shortcuts. No improvising. Your home is treated with the same respect and care as your pet. I arrive on time, I stay as long as needed, and I leave everything exactly as I found it. You hand me your keys and your trust— I take both seriously.

We needed to travel out of the country and one of our biggest concerns was finding the right person to care for our fur baby in our home. Marissa was on time, Dependable, and really helped take that worry off our shoulders. It’s never easy leaving our pet behind, especially when we’re so far from home, but having Marissa made things so much easier. We really appreciate everything she did for us and would absolutely reach out to her again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pets.

We have never left our Sophie for a full eight days before. The decision to do so was a bit nerver-wracking but, with Amanda agreeing to sit with Sophie, we felt much, much more at ease. Amanda was extremely perceptive regarding Sophie's wants and needs and responded perfectly. Amanda also wanted deep details to help her respond to Sophie. Probably the best compliment we can give Amanda is that, when we returned, Sophie was thrilled to see us, but was not needy or clingy. She moved immediately into her regular behaviors and we give Amanda all the credit. We will be calling her in the future.

Betsy was an outstanding pet/house sitter. She communicates clearly, is exceptionally responsible and trustworthy, and brings a great deal of experience. She took care of my 2 year old cat, and it was so clear to me that her interest in animals is sincere and has been lifelong. She warmed up to my cat immediately. And her care of my home demonstrated the same level of professionalism: meticulous and respectful. Very happy to have found this remarkable person!

The average cost of House Sitting in York Center is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 per night. 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.

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 , 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 .

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 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.
