“Such fantastic care of girl who is shy with new people. James spent time with her during his check-in visit while we were at all day event. Dolly was happy and calm when we got home. We look forward to having James care for our pup again!”
“Stephenie is amazing person. I contacted her for some drop-in visit for my 3 cats and she did a great job. She is very profesional, responsable and respectful. She is very responsive and comunicative. I'm pretty sure my cats loved her visits while I was on vacations. Absolutely I would uses her services again, I'm very grateful with her and I recommend 100%. Thanks.”
“It was our first time trying the rover app and we weren’t sure if someone will be able to look after our pets given the busy Christmas season. Thankfully we found Rebecca! Kuma and Kitty seemed to warm up to her right away. She was communicative. Will definitely book again 👍🏻”
“Alaina, thank you for watching our happy boy! You were exceptional making sure you covered his medical needs and his anxious tendencies. Thanks for going above and beyond with keeping us up to date and Kipp taken care of. Will definitely have you again!”
“Emma came for a midday drop-in visit for my dog, Rizzo, while I went into my office. She gave Rizzo a potty break out in the backyard. Played fetch h with her, and gave her a snack. The house was left just as she found it. 😊 We will definitely use Emma again, whenever the need may arise.”
About: Hello, my name is Lindsay! My neighbors have trusted me to watch their dogs for years when they’ve gone away. I’ve trained both of my dogs to listen when called and to do many tricks. My goal is to keep pets happy and safe, and maintain any routines they might have. I am a college student that is also working part time. I have classes in the early afternoon Monday-Thursday, and work as a life guard Friday and Sunday mornings, but am otherwise able to care for your pets any time of the week. I care for pets in their own homes. Being in a space they are comfortable in allows pets to feel more at ease and safe versus being in a new place with a new face.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover, a mom, and someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of animals. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life, so I understand that they aren’t “just pets”… they’re family. ❤️ I’m offering drop-in visits and general pet care for people who need a little extra help keeping their furry family members happy, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away or busy. During a visit, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, attention and cuddles, litter box or other pet-area cleanup, medication if needed, and general tidying up after your pet. I’m also happy to follow your normal routines and instructions because I know every animal has their own little quirks and preferences. My goal is simple: you should be able to leave your home knowing your pets are being cared for by someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. I’m a mom trying to build a little extra income while helping other pet parents at the same time. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I’ll treat that responsibility seriously. I’m not afraid of the less glamorous parts of pet care either. Messes happen. I’ll clean up after your pets and leave their space the way I’d want someone to leave mine. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, some playtime and affection, a fresh litter box, or simply someone to make sure everything is okay, I’d love to help. 🐾 I work full-time and also have a part-time job, so my regular availability is primarily evenings and weekends. That said, I understand that pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule! I’m happy to work with you to make time for drop-in visits when needed, including checking in, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, and giving your pets the attention and care they need. My goal is to be dependable and flexible while working around my schedule. Pet safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines carefully, while paying close attention to their behavior, surroundings, food, water, and overall well-being. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, and I’ll never take unnecessary chances with your pet’s safety. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away.

“Kendall was able to help us out with a last minute booking. We appreciated her quick response to our booking inquiry, and great communication throughout the service. Our house is hard to find, and she took the time to research the location to avoid problems. We also received great photos from her time with the pups. Will definitely use her again!”
“Jennie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way and treated my dog, Max, like he was her own. From the very first walk, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about him. She sent me updates, gave Max lots of love and attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Max came back from his walks full of tail wags and smiles! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. I couldn’t recommend Jennie more—she’s the best!”
“Our cats love Sabine and she always sends lots of pictures! She’s totally on it with asking questions and checking in, and responds quickly to messages! Also takes care of giving our cat an inhaler, and does a great job!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets my entire life, including a reactive dog and two cats of my own so I understand what anxious and independent animals need to feel at ease.

Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, I follow your pet’s routine closely and take a calm, patient approach every time. Your pet is in caring hands. I work a hybrid schedule, so my availability varies by day but I’m consistent and reliable with bookings.

About: I’ve always been drawn to animals and getting to be around them is such a blessing. I’ve been around all sorts of animals growing up having: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even sharks at one point! I’ve always taken pride in caring for these pets and making sure they’re enjoying life and being taken care of properly. I just recently graduated from college and have a lot of free time.

I want them happy and really enjoy spending time with all of them.

About: I have lifelong experience with animals. I grew up on a farm caring for cows and chickens, and I have pets of my own, so responsibility and consistency are second nature to me. I’m patient and attentive with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who may need extra care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and carefully following detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to routines and behavior, and I treat every pet like family while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work full-time, but I have flexibility in my schedule on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am available Tuesdays and Wednesday starting at 3:30pm. I am also very flexible and available most Saturdays and Sundays. I do my best to accommodate pet parents’ needs and am happy to discuss scheduling options to find a time that works for everyone.

“Shannon was a dream! We are so happy we were able to find her before our trip. She went above and beyond making sure our cats were happy and taken care of. She also made sure to send us many updates which really put our minds at ease. Most importantly our cats loved her and felt safe and comfortable with her! We will definitely book with her again when we go out of town!”

I was so nervous about leaving on a trip. Its been forever. I reached out to Chelsea and she worked with me on my schedule for my dogs. She didn't just say no but asked me what time frames worked so that she could accommodate. She was extremely flexible and sweet. She met my family and I met hers. It felt like I was working with a friend! I have 4 dogs and even though she was under the weather she pushed through to come and learn about the dogs needs. She was a quick learner despite me asking alot of her worthy my wolf pack! She came twice a day feeding and letting them out. They loved her. She sent great photos. By the second day of my trip my anxiety was gone because I could see that my babies were safe with her. Thank you so much Chelsea. You are a gem 💎.
Another wonderful visit from Caressa! She was once again responsive to a last minute request to drop in and check on my dog. She took many great pictures of their walk and provided a thorough report card of the visit. We will continue to book with Caressa in the future!
Maria was phenomenal! She provided care for my 4 cats for a week while I was on vacation, and I couldn't be happier! 2 of the 4 cats are very skittish and usually aren't seen by the sitter in the past. Not only did he see them on several occasions, but she also sent me pics! The other 2 cats seemed to enjoy her company as well from the pics she sent. She even got to give my grumpy, older cat chin scratches!
This was our first time hiring Noor to care for our three dogs, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. From our very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she was incredibly experienced, which immediately put us at ease. Our fur babies are our children, so finding someone we can truly trust means everything. We have a senior dog with special needs and two energetic female dogs, and Noor was absolutely amazing with all of them. She gave each of them so much love and attention, made sure they were well-fed, and took excellent care of all of their individual needs. We’ve struggled to find a trustworthy dog sitter, but I’m so happy to say we’ve finally found one in Noor. We are beyond grateful for the care and compassion she showed our pups. Thank you so much for everything, Noor—we can’t wait to have you watch them again!
Rowan took such great care of Remi! In her drop ins she would be sure to let him out to potty, feed him, refresh his water as needed and give him some pets/ play time! She also made sure to put on a dog movie in the background for him to listen to since he enjoys background noise when no one is home. Remi definitely enjoyed Rowan’s company, and she was great to work with!
We have used Elizabeth to care for our two cats and fish for multiple trips and will continue to request her services in the future. We are never worried while away as Elizabeth is great at communicating issues/questions and is careful with our pets care. Anyone browsing looking for a trusted pet sitter I recommend that you can count on Elizabeth! Thanks again!
Thank you for looking after Taro for the second time. I really recommend them. We were out of town and Jahcarre and Morgan stopped by for an hour on two separate days. They were on time and allowed our dog to relax for a while. We really appreciate the both of you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Yorktown is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $37 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 13,529 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Yorktown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yorktown. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
