About: I have grown up with a variety of animals my entire life, all varying in ages and sizes. I currently provide pet sitting and walking in addition to my current full time job for friends and family. This includes looking after my sister’s 11 month old puppy and training where possible. I am currently working full time Monday to Friday in a college. With my weekends free, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which allow me to pet sit on these days, I can do overnight stays so long as I don’t have an event. With my job I sometimes do overtime which allows me to book off additional days for pet sitting should I need to. I prefer looking after pets in the pet owners home as I believe pets deserve to feel at home and safe, what safer space is there for them than a space they live in. I will provide the upmost care and respect in your home, I am also DBS checked
“Another successful visit from Jonny. Tigger has finally come out of his shell and started interacting with him—long may this continue. Thank you, Jonny, for taking such great care of our boys!”
“Ana was fantastic with our dog, so kind and loving! We booked last minute for a drop in service while we was out for the day. Lenny was super comfortable with Ana and loved playing ball in the garden. Ana was great and check his water supply and that he was comfortable before leaving. We will definitely use Ana again. Highly recommended.”

With plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends, I’m available weekends and week days to ensure your pet receives the attention they deserve. My home is perfect for dogs to relax and play. It’s just myself and my little 5-year-old pug, who is friendly, playful, and eager to make new friends. We also have a spacious, secure grass garden where your dog can enjoy fresh air and exercise in a safe environment.

I share my home with our friendly 5-year-old pug, who loves making new doggy friends. We have a spacious and secure grass garden that offers plenty of room for running, playing, and exploring safely. Whether your dog enjoys snuggles on the couch, fun outdoor activities, or quiet moments to rest, I tailor the care to suit their individual needs.
“Jingxi was phenomenal watching Sylvie while we were away. We needed someone when our regular dog sitter was at work (we work from home) and Jingxi was fantastic at making sure Sylvie went potty, had some treats, and played. She went above and beyond and was so so communicative. We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to look after their fur babies! 😍”
About: I care for cats and dogs as if they were my own — from cuddles and playtime to sticking to their exact routines. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra patience and care. Confident with walks, feeding, grooming, and giving medication, I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work from home and my job is super flexible so I can work my hours around playing and caring for your pets. I can do drop ins, walks and pet sitting any time during the week and most weekends. I can easily work my schedule around your pets routine. I have a fenced big back garden and plenty of green spaces around me to play and walk your dogs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand their routines, needs, and any special instructions you provide. I’m careful on walks, avoiding unsafe areas and always using secure leads and harnesses. I believe trust is built through reliability, clear communication, and consistent care — which is why I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have been around animals all my life. From cats to dogs, to rabbits and guinee pigs, I’m confident on what they all require, from daily walks, to feeding schedules and plenty of love! I’m often asked to dog sit & cat sit from family and friends, so it would be no change to every day life. I am offering out my services of dog walking and pet sitting, so please drop me a message. I am currently fully flexible with my hours, so I can work around your pet, your work schedules and daily lives. Whether this be dog walking early morning and late evening, or mid day toilet trips, I am available to work around your schedule. I don’t currently offer services from my own home however I ensure a safe environment for whomever I am looking after. I know what animals should and shouldn’t eat, and if your pet has any specific requirements ie medicine I am experienced in providing this. I know to give pets plenty of love, but I also know when an animal wants their own space and would be happy to let them be in their own home if that’s what they require. I would ensure their water bowl is constantly filled up and they have access to toilet breaks and walks and fresh air. To ensure I could react in the best possible way if an emergency scenario were to arise, I would need to have emergency contact details on hand, including registered vets.
About: I have experience of owning and looking after family and friends dogs. I am a keen walker, loving nothing more than being out with dogs locally. I curently work part time in a freelance basis at home so have lots of time to help to care for and walk dogs locally. I am always up and about walking our dog early, then we have a other couple of walks planned through the day. We have an enclosed garden so we have fun between walks playing in the garden. I have a large fully enclosed back garden and live in a village near Selby giving us access to beautiful walks and fields on my doorstep.
“Laura has been amazing caring for our three cats during the past 3 months. Not only has she been to the house every day, she has sent photos and messages to reassure us that all the cats are safe and well. She has reported any concerns immediately. She is very efficient, honest and reliable. We would recommend her without reservation.”

I can cater to different pets’ needs and follow specific instructions pet owners have for their pets to make sure they have the best care. I will only provide pet care for pets outside of my house as I have a dog and wouldn’t want pets to become stressed by this, also for the sake of my own dog’s wellbeing.

About: Vast amount of experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. After growing up around rescue dogs and working dogs my partner and I have a genuine love and acceptance of all breeds. Previously owned and trained various breeds from Staffys and spaniels to smaller breeds such as Lhasa Apso's and Bichon Frise's. Offering dog walking services, overnight stays and day care. We have a fully enclosed garden and a rural house with acres of land surrounding us. Dogs can have full run of the house whilst in our care along with a cupboard full of treats! We have a very flexible schedule due to our full time jobs being work from home role and we do not work weekends. Dogs in our care have free run of a fully enclosed garden and our home. All breeds of every shape, size and age are welcome.

We have numerous returning customers and dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages. So we understand that all dogs have different needs to cater for Please ensure your dog is well house trained! Please note there is a £125 fee for any dogs who poo or excessively urinate, I expect some dogs to have a few accidents marking scent where other dogs have been in the house, but I've had a few incidents now where dogs do not appear well house trained at all or have come to me with illness and ruined the carpets. This fee is because I have a child in the home so need to professionally steam the carpets when poo gets in the fibres. I work from home so I'm around most of the time. I go into the office for 4 hours on a Thursday but usually take the dogs with me, and they may be alone for up to an hour whilst I take my son to a football class or playgroup I have a fully fenced garden and live in the countryside with beautiful walks for the dogs and they are walked atleast twice a day
About: I have been around animals all my life, having cats, rabbits and a horse as pets in my childhood. I have gained experience of pet sitting over the last three years with cats, dogs, fish and ferrets. I love meeting new animals. I currently work part time so I have lots of availability for pet sitting around this. I do early morning and late visits on work days and have several full days free each week. I will care for you home and your pet whilst you are away. I am happy to look after plants as well. I will follow the instructions provided by yourself.
About: Hi, thanks for stopping by ♡ I was lucky enough to have a GSD for 15 years and I now have a resident 18 month old nutter GSD. I honestly can’t imagine life without furry cuddles, wagging tails and throwing balls. Luna is friendly and loves to play with her furry friends. She is sweet natured and loves her teddies and cuddles. She has lots of friends but is reactive on walks, especially to dogs running up to her so I always have chicken or cheese in my pocket. I am lucky enough to be a 5 minute walk to beautiful countryside and a river, which provides some fantastic routes for four legged friends. Luna is in the river daily she loves the water. I treat all of our furry visitors as if they were my own. I provide a home from home so that you can be reassured your dog is being well cared for and they can relax and enjoy their stay. I work shifts so understand that life isn’t 9-5, on my days off when marked as available I can be fully flexible to your dogs needs, whether that is a short stroll or a much longer walk to burn of that bound up energy. I can cater to all schedules for walking and feeding and am happy to board pets in my home. I can stay in your home if this suits your pets needs better but I would need to bring Luna with me. I have an enclosed garden which we spend a fair bit of time in as Luna loves being outside. If you have any particular routines or rules you would like us to follow, then these will be respected. I am a shift worker and self employed so my days off are days off and I am home all day to look after your furry friend. I am fully DBS checked, i have great walks around me and a medium sized garden which is fenced. I am happy to take my guideance from what you and your furry friend need.
About: I have grown up in a family pet home all my life, their welfare needs come first with the best possible care and love. I have two dogs and two cats and they are my best friends. Whenever my friends and family are in need of a pet sitter, they always come to me. I have trained my dogs from a young age with positive reinforcement as they love treats and are treat motivated. I am currently training my cats to forage out of toy enrichment and have created my own forage guide for cat owners. I also study animal training, biology, welfare, nutrition, behaviour, health, rehabiliton and kennel and cattery management at collage and work with dogs and cats in the kennels and catteries there. I’m currently studying level 3 animal management at askham bryan collage on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to spare. I have just completed 150 hours worth of work placement for collage at a dog groomers which was a fun and an enjoyable experience, and now I would love to spend most of my free time looking after and caring for animals. At your home, I will make sure that your pet always has fresh water and food. I will always bring suitable treats with me to reward them when they are behaving good. They will go on at-least an hours walk (on lead or off lead) and will be let out every half an hour in the back garden (if you have one) for toiletry purposes. I will entertain them throughout the day with lots of toys and when they are feeling tired and need a nap I will provide them with a blanket and bed. I will always make sure they are comfortable and most of all loved.

There are 728 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Selby. About 91% of Selby sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
