“Kristen was the best dog sitter we’ve had! She went above and beyond to care for our sweet boy and watch over our house too. We were able to enjoy our time away and know that he was well cared for. We greatly appreciated it. Will definitely book again!”
“Jim went above and beyond for us when we were in a pinch. Not only did he take great care of our dog but he also cleaned and did dishes for us that we had left in a hurry to head to a wedding. Jim was awesome and I would absolutely recommend him and utilize his services again in a heartbeat!”
“Catherine was great with our pitbull mix Peggy, we did a meet and greet and Peggy loved her. She sent lots of updates and I could tell Peggy was being well cared for. We will definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“As soon as we met Madison we felt so comfortable. She was so kind and loving to our dear dog Angel and was flexible with our unique scheduling needs. I loved the photo updates and reports. I could tell that Angel was happy and well cared for while we were away. We are so grateful for Madison!”
About: I tailor every experience to your pup’s unique energy, boundaries, and personality. Providing dog walking and house-sitting services since 2017, alongside a lifetime of loving animals, I bring both experienced reliability and an attentive care to every visit. Whether we are exploring new trails, going on a neighborhood sniffari, or enjoying time at home, I pay attention to body language so play, rest, and snuggles always happen on your dog’s terms. I am passionate about collaborating with pet parents to maintain training and routine that keeps your pup safe, happy, and fulfilled.When I'm not on the job, you can find me "borrowing" my colleagues' dogs just to squeeze in an extra adventure! Working on a part-time schedule gives me flexibility throughout the day for routine drop-ins, feedings, medication schedules, and play sessions. I’m also available for occasional overnight stays to keep your pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment while you're away. I provide care in your home, which keeps your pets in their most comfortable, familiar environment. I treat your home with respect, following all household security routines and leaving your space clean and tidy. During every drop-in or overnight stay, I follow your care instructions, maintain training, medication, and meal routines, and closely monitor your pet's safety and well-being. Plus, you can always expect picture updates so you have full peace of mind while away!
“Martha was so incredibly patient and loving with our Dexter! He has some quirks and anxieties but Martha was so understanding and great at ensuring he was comfortable. We received daily updates throughout the weekend and it was so nice to have those check ins. This was the first time Dexter has stayed with anyone other than our family and overall it was a great experience!”
“Allison was amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better pup sitter. She took care of our two dogs for a long weekend and was great at communicating, making sure meds were given, and she left our place super clean. Can’t wait to rebook her!”
“Leah was great with our little lovebug, Coco! She was well cared for and Leah provided lots of affection and attention (which Coco needs 🤣). Would not hesitate to rebook with Leah in the future!”
About: Kristine and Eric have loved and had animals our entire life. I have always helped care for pets, even as a child. Eric was raised on a farm, caring for many different kinds of animals- waking up before dawn to ensure that all animals were properly cared for and had what they needed for the day whether it be rain, shine, snow, sleet, hot, or cold. We, together, have two dogs. They are both around 10 years old and are rescues. We also have 6 chickens. Our home has a door from the downstairs to the upstairs. When dogs are home during the day and if left alone for 1 hour or so they stay downstairs with access to water, comfy couches, and dog bed areas. When we are home they have free run of the home. We also have a crate for dogs that may need a private, safe space. We have a back yard that our dog enjoys playing in, but just so you know it is not fenced in, therefore dogs remain leashed when in the back yard. We do have a deck that is closed off in the backyard where dogs can be left unleashed to hang out, but always supervised when out there. We also have a 15 year old daughter who loves animals. She assists with the care of our dogs and we have fostered a few dogs in the past from various shelters and she is always eager to assist with making these dogs feel comfortable and give them love. She volunteers at a local animal shelter with small mammals and takes care of the chickens I work full time during the school year for a school district. Eric works from home. Eric takes dogs for a number of walks per day including walks to the local dog park (Rogers Park) and to local beaches for exercise and socialization. I am home by 3:30 pm and bring my dogs (and other dogs) for exercise either running, hiking, or walking. In the summer I am mostly around. I also grew up with cats and with both have experience with cats and providing meds to cats, including insulin shots. I work full time and Eric works part to full time but we can walk dogs in the evening and walk dogs throughout the day on the weekends. I have summers off as I work in a school. I will not be offering care in my home, but am excited to take care of your pet and walk your dog and take your dog on adventures.
About: I have spent lots of time with elderly dogs and cats, and I love ensuring they have the consistent care they need while their humans are away. I have also worked with young pets who are house or litter box training. I also love fish, rodents, and reptiles! If you have a zoo at home, I may be the sitter for you. -Gwen (they/them) I currently nanny a small human part time, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Week days I am available before 10:30am and after 3:00pm. Weekends I am free all day. Overnights are always available. I deeply value the trust it takes to have someone in your home taking care of your beloved furry friends. I strive to provide care that keeps pets happy, safe, and satisfied while maintaining a calm and clean environment in the home I am visiting.

“Forest was the perfect dog sitter. She took care of our dog and home with love and care and not only brought Keeley out in walks but out on little excursions which we know Keeley loved! We would love to book forest again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. Experience ranges from puppies to elderly dogs. I have raised three dogs on my own and on a weekly basis I go to the humane shelter to walk dogs. My schedule is super flexible- I'm willing to help in any way I can! I am a recent college graduate from Belmont University. Nashville is now by home as I pursue music. Therefore, I will have plenty of time to make sure your furry family member is happy and comfortable! I'm willing to come to you or have your pup stay with me. Dogs are special to me, so I will do my very best to treat them with the same compassion and love that we give to humans.
“Veronica was amazing with my pups, the house was just as I left it and Tessa and Tucker were clearly loved and well cared for. Veronica also offered detailed regular updates so I never had to worry while I was away. I'll definitely be booking with Veronica again soon!”
About: I provide loving, reliable care for pets of all ages. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet will feel safe and happy in my care. I work part-time, so I'm available most weekday afternoons and weekends. I do have college classes Mondays & Wednesdays, so unfortunately I am unavailable in the afternoon those days. Pet care easily fits into my routine, allowing flexible, reliable service for your pets. I care for pets in their own homes, providing personalized attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m unable to host pets due to having my own furbabies, but offer reliable, loving care on-site.
“We had used Faith once before for an overnight. This time we were lucky enough to get her for an entire week while we were on vacation. We were over the moon knowing we didn’t have to worry about our babies. Faith always goes above and beyond sending pictures and videos and updates, giving our 3 rascals all the love, playing with them, and general daily care. She is worth her weight in gold! :)”
About: Had a deep soul connection with my cat Marbles for 15 years 🖤🐈⬛🌹 I enjoy showing animals comfort and care. Not afraid to get down on the ground and play either :) I’m an intuitive and allow animals their space and time to enjoy nature. I prefer not to rush them but can stay on schedule if need be. Please book a drop-in visit if you’d like an in-person meet and greet. I prefer not to be around cigarettes, vape, artificial scents and harsh chemicals (detergents, dryer sheets, perfumes, candles, air fresheners, harsh chemicals, etc.) These are not healthy for us or our beloved animals ✌️🐾♥️). *Important* my house is temporarily limited at the moment, so for daycare services, I’d prefer to entertain your dog (or cat on a leash) around town, hang out at the lodge or go for a long walk or hike rather than back to my place. If this is an issue, please message me before booking. When messaging please include a “💚” so I know you read this. Thank you! Additionally, please message me if you would like to discuss rates. Thank you 🥰♥️🤗 I’m pretty flexible at the moment; albeit a tad busy also. I do have one other dog that I walk morning and night but we can work around that. If it is an emergency I could probably work something out for home care but right now I’m primarily caring for animals around their own home and neighborhood.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - York Harbor
Carys did a fantastic job sitting our cat for 10 days! She has an intuitive way of communicating with animals that came across during our first meeting and reassured us that he was in safe hands. She also left our house spotless and clean which was a lovely touch after a long journey home. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 519 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across York Harbor. 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 Harbor 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 Harbor 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 Harbor 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.
