Historic downtown and courthouse square
Historic homes and storefronts within a short walk. It is a good loop for a dog who likes to people-watch, and early morning or evening is best.

Pet sitting and dog walking in York, SC.
York is the White Rose City, the county seat, and one of the prettiest old downtowns in the Carolina upcountry. We take care of the pets who live in it, from the courthouse square out into the countryside.
Pet care in York
York’s history is on display. The town started as Fergus’s Crossroads, named for a tavern, became the county seat in 1785 and was called Yorkville until it shortened the name in 1915. The downtown is a National Register historic district, and the old courthouse square is still its center.
It is a good walking town. The streets around the courthouse square are quiet in the evening, the historic homes are fun to look at, and Moore Park is dog-friendly with grills, a gazebo and shade. It is not a fenced dog park, so dogs are on a leash there. For a bigger day out, Kings Mountain State Park and Kings Mountain National Military Park are both a short drive away.
York is the southwest corner of our area, so we group visits here and plan around drive time. That is why we ask for a free meet-and-greet first, so we know the house, the dog and the best time of day. If you travel often can set up a standing weekly walk and let us handle the rest.

Questions
About pet care in York
How far out in York County do you go?
Our border runs west of the Catawba River and Lake Wylie, and York sits near the southwest corner of it. We check each address against the border and the drive time as you book, so you will know right away.
Can you take my pet to the vet from York?
Yes. Our pet taxi picks up at your home and drives your pet to a vet, groomer or other place they need to go. It is priced by the mile, with the first ten minutes of waiting free, and you see the fare before you book.
Do you do overnight stays for older homes?
Yes. We stay in the house, so pets keep their routine and the home is occupied. Tell us at the meet-and-greet about quirks, such as creaky stairs, alarm codes or a dog who hates the mailman.
