“Fiona took wonderful care of our home and senior dog. She made sure to provide daily updates with pictures and left our house immaculate. I would recommend her to anyone needing pet services and plan on using her services moving forward.”
About: Hi! Some of my best memories with pets come from taking care of my friends’ pomeranian puppy during his first few years of life. I got to understand his playing, eating, and walking habits, and my friends could always rely on me to ensure he was cared for. I hope I can do the same your pets as well! My availability is open! Most of my work is remote so I’m able to take in almost any request. Depending on the energy of your fur baby they can work alongside with me if they like:) I live with two other people — one works in the morning and one works at night, and they love when pets are in the house. I have a fenced yard as well as an open living room for a playpen and/or crate! I also have a car harness available for larger pets if transportation is needed.
About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones. I can administer medication, go on as many walks as needed, drive or walk to the dog park or just cuddle on the sofa if you pet loves that too! I work as a school teacher and am an online grad student but am able to come and go as I please so my schedule is quite flexible! I am very mindful of your pets care, safety and security while they are in my trust. I can crate your pet, calm them down and care for them as per your instruction.
“Anita took excellent care of my dog Malcolm. He loved her instantly, and throughout the week she sent lovely updates and photos... So much so that I started to believe that Malcolm was enjoying his vacation more than I was :) I would definitely ask her to care for him again.”
“Fuliang was great. Would definitely let him house sit again. This was our first time using Rover. We were away for 4 days. He stayed at our home and watched our two dogs. He sent us picture updates when they went for walks. There were no issues and the house was in good order when we returned.”
“Allison was absolutely fantastic with our two girls! She provided great updates, lots of pictures, and our dogs seemed like they didn’t miss us at all when we got home. She left our house cleaner than she found it. As someone who can experience some anxiety when I leave our dogs with a new person, Allison is someone who made me feel instantly at ease. I didn’t worry at all when I was gone. Thanks so much, Allison! I’ll definitely be rebooking.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. Growing up my mom worked in a pet store and I use to help her out after school. I have had dog in my home my whole live from little puppies to older pups. I love to nestly up on a couch and knitt with a furry friend by my side. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of free time for fun pet care. I really enjoying the flexible work schedule and getting to spend my time with animals. While in the client's home I will spend time with the family pet, playing , cuddles and proving care. If I have my primary job that day I will let the animal do their business in the morning, make sure they have food and water. I will return in the afternoon for play time and to support their need.
“We are so lucky to have met Kaja! She’s taken excellent care of our giant pups (an energetic rottie and a pittie) both times she’s stayed with them. Kaja is experienced caring for all kinds of dogs and was clearly confident and comfortable with our dogs reactivity (they’re loves but not great with other dogs). She is an excellent communicator and has a calming, patient, grounding presence that put all of us (humans and dogs!) at ease as soon as we met. She sent us thoughtful pictures and updates while we were away and missing our dogs and took great care of our home as well. We would recommend her to anyone and will reach out again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Liliana (and Gerardo) were great. Very responsive and very responsible and always a pleasure. They took great care of our dog in a challenging situation. And they took great care of our home, as well. Highly recommended.”
“I am writing to offer my highest recommendation for Amber as a pet sitter. She is the most competent, caring, and dedicated caregiver anyone could ask for. While we were away visiting our ill daughter in St. Louis, we noticed a lump on our dog’s neck just before leaving. Amber immediately took him to our local vet, skillfully facilitating communication between us and the veterinarian over speakerphone. She then administered medication to our small dog—a challenging task in itself—and carefully monitored every detail of his health, including his urination, eating, and drinking habits. When she noticed he wasn’t peeing or eating enough, Amber promptly notified us and, with our approval, took him to the emergency pet hospital on a Sunday. She stayed with him for hours while tests were performed and he was hydrated. Understanding the severity of the situation—our dog is over 15 years old—Amber even coordinated a family conference call to discuss next steps. After emergency care, Amber diligently tended to his recovery, ensuring he followed a specialized liquid diet and administering three different medications twice a day. She carried him up and down stairs, monitored his every movement, and provided him with constant comfort and care. Even when our flight home was delayed, she willingly stayed extra hours to feed him and give another round of medication, never once making us feel guilty or pressured to return early. Amber is intelligent, trustworthy, and incredibly compassionate. Her calm demeanor and exceptional pet-sitting skills allowed us to focus on our trip with peace of mind. I cannot imagine a better person to entrust with the care of a beloved pet, and we are forever grateful for her dedication and kindness.”
“Patricia is a wonderful caretaker for our large dog. She is kind, attentive, and incredibly respectful. She communicates beautifully and sends lovely pictures when we are away. I recommend her highly!”
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
“This was Bibiana’s first time dog-sitting for us, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the level of service she provided. Beyond her exceptional care, her loving and attentive nature was incredibly comforting. We could see that Winston was not only well cared for but also genuinely loved and protected. As dog parents, knowing that someone is giving our buddy the affection he deserves is truly priceless. Bibiana’s communication, friendliness, and natural ability to give love made her the perfect fit for us. We’ve definitely found our go-to dog sitter, and Winston feels the same way. It’s a match made in heaven. A big thank you to Rover for bringing us Bibiana. We will be back again, and again!”
“Caitlin and crew are amazing! My boy, Diesel, is not an easy dog. He has high energy and struggles with anxiety. I have still been working on his training. Caitlin has gone above and beyond and continued his training without even asking. He was treated as one of their own .Caitlin was super attentive. I received pictures and updates through his stay. The week stay with her was harder for me then it was for Diesel. He came back to me a better behaved dog, less anxiety and happy, which was amazing! I highly recommend Caitlin and will definitely book her for future services!”
“Jessica was the perfect person to dog sit in our home. She was quick to listen and understand our pets needs, as well as provide them excellent care while we were away. She was also great about sending photo updates of our dogs. We returned home to a spotless house and happy pups. I look forward to booking with her again in the future. She was the best! ?”
“Rachel continues to be an amazing sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure Rooney is comfortable and happy and is wonderful about keeping in touch. Rooney loves spending time with her, and it’s such a relief having a sitter I can trust completely while I’m away.”

Suzy was such a blessing. She came on short notice and took excellent care of our dogs. One of them experienced a health issue while we were gone and Suzy helped us navigate the issue keeping us updated and reassured and helped to resolve the issue. I didn’t worry because Suzy was taking such good care. She gave lots of updates and sent little videos and pictures. We are very grateful.
Ella was excellent! Our dog was shy getting to know her but she came for multiple walks prior to our trip so they could get to know each other. She was kind and patient each time letting our dog go at her own pace. Ella sent updates and pictures regularly to let us know things were going well with both animals and followed all our instructions. (I'm also pretty sure the house was cleaner than when we left as well!) We will absolutely be hiring Ella again in the future, thank you for your care!

The average cost of House Sitting in Selby is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $39 per night.

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 Selby 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 Selby 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 Selby 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 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.

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.
