“Fiona was great with nightly updates and pictures of our pups. She even made sure to leave our house in excellent shape when she left. We look forward to booking with her again.”

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.
“Fabulous, thank you Aileen! I have the double whammy of a very mischievous dog and a cat with medical issues, and Aileen was totally unfazed. She has a questionnaire for people to fill out beforehand so she can gather as much info as possible, which helped me breathe easy during my 10-day trip! She kept in regular contact with updates and photos, and was very conscientious about making sure the house was in the same condition (or better) as when I left it. Thank you, Aileen!”
“Xaniah took wonderful care of our two dogs, Ella and Mia, while we were away on vacation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We especially appreciated all of the photo updates throughout our trip—they made it so much easier to relax knowing our girls were happy and doing well. Thank you for taking such great care of them! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and highly recommend Xaniah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“It was a pleasure to work with Patricia, who stayed at my house for five days and took care of my eight-year-old mini doodle, Ruby. Patricia was highly communicative leading up to her stay, sent daily pictures of Ruby while I was on my trip, left the house spotless, and even helped out with our parakeets. When I met Patricia during our meet and greet, I could see that she is a truly lovely and kind person. I look forward to working with her again. Patricia is highly trustworthy, responsible, and most importantly took great care of Ruby, I cannot recommend her services highly enough!”
“Sofia was all around great! Responsive and responsible, she sent tons of update photos and left everything nice and tidy. She also clearly took great care of my super active teenager kitty--when I got home he was like, "Oh hi there were you gone or something?" I also really appreciated Sofia coming over before my trip to meet Jet.”
“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.”
“Wow! Isaiah did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs. He kept us updated during our trip with pictures and how the pups were doing. The house looked great, clean and tidy when we got home. I would definitely hire him again! 5 stars!!”
“Mariah was great! Zuko can be difficult, but he thrived with her. She kept us updated on him, sent great pictures, and played with him a lot. Mariah was responsive, kind, and patient. We're so thankful she took such great care of our dog and our place.”
“Wow! What an incredible sitter Hong was. This is the first time I have ever been away from my fur babies and not worried once. She was so communicative the entire time and I came back to happy dogs and a pristine house. If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thank you again Hong. ❤️”
“I can’t say enough good things about Eliana! Every time I leave my dog, Topi, in her care, I know he’s in the best hands possible. Eliana goes above and beyond to make sure Topi is happy, healthy, and loved while I’m away. I always feel at ease knowing she’s taking care of her. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Danielle did such a great job watching both of my dogs. She made sure to take great care of them while I was away for a long weekend and would send great updates with the dogs having fun. She also was super neat and kept the house so clean! I really appreciate her hard work watching over my dogs! This was my first time using Rover and would 100% book her again.”
“Amber was great with my pets and I received photos daily of them. Amber house sat with my 2 dogs and a cat for one week, with the photos showing all with normal activity and happy. I would strongly recommend Amber for your pet sitting needs and would use her again for my pets.”

“Rachelle is prompt and responsive! She's very pleasant to deal with, she pet sat our dog for 2.5 days in our home while we were away.

Ilse went above and beyond when it came to caring for my dogs and reassuring me while I was away! She stayed at my house and made sure my dogs were well taken care of, loved, and comfortable. She truly treated them like her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would definitely recommend Ilse and would absolutely book with her again!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
