“Nikita had an amazing time with Denise again! I’m so grateful for having found such a caring individual to help look after my fur baby. Denise is very patient and loving to my girl—thank you a million for watching her!!”
“Erin really went above and beyond for us. Just before we were about to take a long planned vacation, one of our kitties came down with a virus and required multiple medications, including IV fluids. We were so grateful to have found her profile. She is an expert cat sitter, with the background as a vet tech and was able to administer all the medications as needed while we were gone. Also, she kept our house was in tiptop shape. Best of all, when we came home and our sick kitty was back to being himself. We couldn’t have asked for more. Although we don’t have dogs, I’m sure that Erin provides the same expert care for them as well. We will be having her back for sure.”
“Fatima was a fantastic sitter for my young basset hound. She was super responsive, sent lots of updates and photos, left my home is pristine condition and did a great job managing a very energetic large puppy. Can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Rylie was very responsive and very attentive to our pups. She also sent great photos. She has great experience with her own dogs and with her work at a doggy day care and was very comfortable when a last minute issue came up and knew which issues she should contact us about.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my home and I just love animals! I used to volunteer at the humane society, and I was trained to work with cats and dogs, I have over 100 hours of volunteering at the Huron Valley Humane Society. I am new to Rover, but I’ve pet sat outside of this app before! I am currently working part-time, my schedule changes from day to day but for the most part I am available 7 days a week and can check in up to 3 times a day with your animal! I will prioritize each pets safety, comfort and routine every visit. I will also ensure that I follow all instructions required by owners and am also happy to communicate updates/photos so they feel confident in their pets wellbeing. Overall, I want the animal and the owner to feel as comfortable as possible when working with me!
“Jessi was great! I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of my little Joey. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was very communicative . We’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: Hello! Our family loves dogs. We've had two dogs in the past, one dog for 8 years and one for 6 years, the latter having recently passed away. In between having them, my wife has fostered a half dozen dogs from the Huron Valley Humane Society that just needed a break to unwind. Your dog would get three times the love compared to just one person taking care of your dog, as both me, my stay at home wife, and my 9th grade daughter would be taking care of them. Dogs love the wooded, fenced-in backyard. They would have the option to sleep in my daughters bed. Since our most recent dog passed away, that's opened the opportunity for us to house and love other peoples dogs. Our dogs and our friend's dogs were allowed to go on the couch and sleep in beds with my daughters. Your's would have the same opportunity, if you allowed it. Prefer dogs that don't whine. Also, if there is something we normally have out that we will need to put away, we are not interested. For example, if your dog will chew on our coats or blankets, it wouldn't be a good fit. Also, my 9th grader needs her sleep. Drop offs and pick ups only between 8AM and 8PM.
“Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous with our sweet little Oakleigh. She made us feel very comfortable leaving for the weekend. We’ve never we used Rover before and we will for sure contact Beth again. I know that Beth will always be our go to sitter.”
“Jackie was very loving and caring of our two dogs. Not only did she take care of our two higher-needs dogs, but she watched over our house and kept everything very neat. Great communication and she provided multiple pictures and videos, sometimes twice a day.”
About: With more than 30 years of experience as both a veterinary technician and professional pet sitter, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize health concerns, administer medications, and care for senior pets or those with special needs confidently and safely. Animals have always been a central part of my life. I currently share my home with my friendly doodle and my cat. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, medication administration, or simply extra love and attention while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time and have plenty of time to play with your pooch or kitty. Most days I am available before 8 am and by 2 in the afternoons. Your pet will enjoy a comfortable, safe, and welcoming home environment designed with animals in mind. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax, play, and feel at ease. The furniture is pet-friendly, allowing well-mannered guests to feel like part of the family rather than confined to a separate space. Outside, pets have access to a large, fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore, exercise, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. The property also includes a pool, which is securely monitored and managed with your pet's safety as the top priority. Whether your dog loves to play, sunbathe, or simply lounge in the grass, there is ample space to accommodate their needs and activity level. I strive to provide a calm, home-like experience that maintains your pet's routine while offering plenty of attention, enrichment, and personalized care. My goal is for every guest to feel comfortable, secure, and treated as a valued member of the household throughout their stay. "To ensure individualized attention and a low-stress environment, I accept a limited number of boarding guests at one time."
“Greyson was absolutely wonderful! They stayed at our home for four days to take care of our dog. They are reliable, kind, and attentive to every detail of our dog’s routine. They sent us daily updates and photos of our pup who looked so happy and relaxed in every picture! When we got home, the house was spotless, and our dog was calm and clearly well cared for. It’s a relief knowing we can trust someone now to take great care of our home and our dog. We’ll definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for a long time. I love playing with dogs especially with dog toys like tug of war or fetch. I can also just sit with your dog and keep them company if they enjoy having lazy days I work full time 3 pm to midnight currently but am open to overnights when I get off work and staying with your fur family thru the day before work. I have had animals in my house for many years now and have always been very loving and caring for them. Making sure they get walked accordingly and get loved accordingly.
“Alexis is wonderful with my dog and cat. My dog needs a lot of exercise and she gets it. The house was in great shape, with linens and towels clean and back on the bed/on the towel rack.”
“Bridget did a great job with both my dogs. She was very responsive, and communicated well and sent lots of pictures! She exceeded my expectations and will definitely be rebooking her for future trips!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and cared for cats, dogs, rodents, and fish. I have a dog of my own who is my best friend and have raised him since puppyhood! I am home for the summer and happy to take on any personal care for your pet that you may need! I want to be a reliable go-to caregiver that you feel you can depend on. I have plenty of time on my hands to devote to giving your pet the best time possible. My services include exercise for pets, house sitting, potty breaks, basic grooming, and overall caregiving and companionship however and whenever needed! I consider myself prepared for anything and your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - York Charter Township
Maura is exceptional on every count. The dogs (including our senior Black Lab) loved her when we met her at our initial meeting . She sent regular updates and photos. We lost electricity for over 24 hours and she handled it with patience and professionalism, getting all the items needed to keep herself and our 2 dogs warm and happy. She managed 3 meals and meds for our older boy and got them on an impressive schedule that we hope to maintain. Her knowledge and understanding of caring for animals, and her problem solving skills are remarkable. We were so fortunate to have found her and hope to utilize her services in the near future! Any pets will be in the most capable hands with her.
Wow! Jennifer & Kim are amazing! We (pet parents & pup) were comfortable from the very first. They asked all kinds of questions to gain detailed info about our pup's routines & habits to ease his transition and make him feel at home. Frequent updates with photos were provided to ease parent "separation anxiety". Not only did they provide a safe, secure place for Sparky, but I truly believe they also adopted him as their complete family member until we returned. His comfort was obvious when he was more interested in sniffs than us upon our reuniting (even though we missed the uber-enthusiastic greeting he could've given). I cannot express my appreciation enough. Highly recommended. Great people & super pet & animal friendly.

FAQs for House Sitting - York Charter Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in York Charter Township on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,338 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across York Charter Township. 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 Charter Township 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 Charter Township 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 Charter Township 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.

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.
