“Tara obviously is thoroughly invested in providing a professional and accommodating house sitting service. She engaged immediately with a meet and greet at my house and took on board my requests etc. I would have no hesitation in booking Tara again.”

“Katie's dog sitting service exceeded all expectations, providing exceptional care for my elderly rescue dog, Betty, who currently struggles with behavioural issues. Katie's expertise and genuine love for dogs shone through in every aspect of her service. From the moment I stepped into her home, I felt reassured by the clean and welcoming environment she had created. It was evident that Katie had tailored her space perfectly for dog sitting, ensuring it was both comfortable and safe for furry guests like Betty. What truly set Katie apart was her patience and understanding. She took the time to connect with Betty, recognising her unique needs and quirks. This level of attentiveness instilled confidence in me, knowing that Betty was in capable hands. Throughout Betty's stay, Katie provided regular updates and delightful photos, allowing me to relax knowing she was in good spirits. These thoughtful touches demonstrated Katie's commitment to transparency and ensuring pet owners remained connected with their beloved companions. In addition to Katie's exceptional care, I must also commend her wonderful dog, Daisy. Daisy's presence added an extra layer of warmth and comfort to Betty's stay. It was apparent that Daisy embodied the same attributes of nurturing care, remarkable patience, and endearing charm as Katie. Their dynamic duo made Betty's experience even more enjoyable, and I am grateful for the positive influence they had on her during her stay. Katie and Daisy truly make an unbeatable team, and I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding service In summary, Katie's professionalism, genuine care, and expertise make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a dog sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her services and look forward to entrusting Betty to her care again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a passion for animals. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own, I have developed a strong understanding of their needs, routines, and behaviours. I am home full-time and available seven days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have my own Lhasa Apso called Romeo, who I walk twice a day, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, shorter strolls, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to tailor my care to their individual needs.
“Julie was amazing, she was so good with Alfie taking him on long walks and sending us updates while we were away. Alfie takes a while to warm up to people but he was so comfortable around her. We definitely would recommend, she was great and such a lovely person 😊”

“Highly recommend Jonny to care for your furry family! My first time leaving Barney and Bessie with anyone other than my family, and I was unnecessarily anxious. They’ve just had a fab 24 hours in his care with all their needs met and more. I’ve come home to two happy, content, and tired out pups.”

“Saff did a great job at looking after Dackerz! We booked very last minute and we didn’t do a meet and greet but she clearly followed the care instructions and send lots of pictures and updates to us.”


About: Fully Insured Pet Sitter & Cleaner with a Clean Enhanced DBS Hi, my name is Stacy. I'm 40 years old and a proud mum to two amazing sons, Mason (21) and Zach (18). My son Mason lives in York and I'm looking to do a paid petsit whilst also spending some time with him/his partner. Over the past 12 months, I've been caring for pets and homes across the UK and overseas. What started as a way to experience new places soon became something I genuinely fell in love with. There's nothing more rewarding than giving pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their beloved animals are happy, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. As a result, I recently launched my business, Homes & Pets, offering reliable pet sitting services alongside Home Reset support for people who may be feeling overwhelmed by household tasks, life changes, busy schedules, or simply need an extra pair of hands to get their home back on track. I am fully insured, hold a clean Enhanced DBS certificate, and take great pride in being trustworthy, caring, and respectful of both people's homes and their pets. Whether you're heading away on holiday, need someone to care for your pets, or would like support creating a calmer, more organised living space, I'd love to help. I am a 40 year old Mum to Mason (21) and Zach (18). I am looking for a cat sit in York as a way to see my son Mason and his lovely partner, Saffire. I'm a fully insured petsitter with an enhanced DBS. My son Mason lives in York for Uni. I was recently made redundant and so visiting him has proven difficult. I am looking for low maintenance cat sits so that I can explore, and if possible, where my son and his partner can come for dinner in the evenings. I have been petsitting around the UK and overseas for the last 18 months as a way to travel. I am happy to share my DBS check and my insurance details for your reassurance. I will take care of your home as if it was my own and give updates as regularly as you wish. My only request is that there are no cameras inside the home as I personally find this intrusive. of course, outdoor cameras are no problem. I am reliable, responsible and an excellent communicator.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, having 3 family dogs in the home. I love the outdoors and walking loads too for the more adventurous dogs too! I work hybrid so have the flexibility to WFH meaning lots of cuddles and toilet breaks, plenty of walks and engagement. I also work half days on Friday so have the availability to walk on Friday afternoons too. I am happy to view homes before dog sitting and understand the environment in which your pet lives in, will require the basic needs of your dog before hand and learn about their habits (no off lead etc)
“Tamara was wonderful with Maude. I came home to a happy healthy pup who had blatantly had the best time with this lovely calm and confident young lady. Thank you so so much Tamara and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area she’s a gem !”


About: I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs, cats, and even a reptile, each with unique personalities and needs. I’m a big fan of walking with dogs. I am currently working during the week, and so I am free to dog/cat/house sit during evenings or weekends. From 6-7pm onwards in the evening. I will ask for detailed instructions on the pets requirements and routine and maintain this the best I can. I am able to give dogs medication or eye drops etc. I can provide regular updates to the pet owner on their pets well-being.
“We were so thrilled to welcome Ella into our home to look after our cockapoo Phoebe for a weekend. She took Phoebe for walks and snuggled on the sofa and in bed - just what Phoebe loves! We came home to an immaculate house and wouldn't hesitate to book Ella again.”

“Alicia was very quick to respond for a very short notice booking Request . Alicia arrived promptly - she was very good with Millie who has Separation Anxiety From the picture Millie looked very relaxed . I would definitely contact her again to look after Millie”

“Nicole has a lovely vibe and quickly bonded with my one year-old terrier. Nicole communicates brilliantly. Dora had a lovely time with her today and came back chilled and happy. I will definitely be asking Nicole for help again!”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have spent my whole life caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved in their owners’ absence. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their routines, needs, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and attention while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care. Whether your pet enjoys company, playtime, regular walks, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a secure fenced garden and a friendly indoor cat. While she is gentle and calm around other animals, she can be a little nervous around unfamiliar pets. To ensure a stress-free environment for everyone, I can keep her on a separate floor of the house when needed. My home has three floors, providing plenty of space to safely separate pets if required. I will always make sure that both your pet and my cat are comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay!

All Chester’s routines , likes and dislikes were carefully noted .No stone was left unturned . From arriving at the airport for our holiday , we received our first photo . She was safely in and was already bonding . From that moment we both completed relaxed . She has been a breathe of fresh air . On returning she waited for us to arrive , even though we were delayed . House was immaculate and Chester was happy and content. Communication from start to finish was superb . The whole process was seamless and we have found a gem in Faye”

“Megan was brilliant from start to finish. I have two labs and one of them is very nervous. She was happy to come and meet them beforehand and my nervous dog loves her! She kept me updated throughout her stay and the house was immaculate. Our dogs are usually quite stressed when we return but they weren’t this time and it was lovely to see!”

About: I’m passionate about creating a safe and happy environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. 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 work from home, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your beloved dogs! I’m available for boarding seven days a week, including both weekdays and weekends, ensuring your furry friends get all the attention and love they deserve. At my home, pets are treated like family. I create a safe and loving environment where they feel relaxed and happy. Since I work from home, I’m always around to give plenty of attention and playtime. 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.
“All I can say is fantastic. From start to finish Margret (Vicky) was so lovely. She came to meet our two pups at our request and they loved her immediately. She even brought them a toy each. Vicky looked after them in our home the following day and was great. We instantly knew she was a super fit. Vicky was very respectful of our home whilst here and again left gifts. I will definitely ask Vicky to come back and look after our pups again and I would recommend her to anyone.”

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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree 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 favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
