Cat Sitting Jobs in York

Cat sitting jobs in York, where a travel-heavy city keeps drop-in visits booked

York fills up with visitors while its own residents head off just as often, and the cats left behind still need feeding, fresh water and a clean litter tray. Petme cat sitters cover that gap with one or two short visits a day, usually a few streets from home rather than across the city. Cat visits in York run £12 to £19 per visit, and you keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.

Where cat visits cluster around York

Clifton, Holgate and Acomb follow close behind, with Fulford steady thanks to its University of York crowd. Picking two or three neighbouring areas keeps your visits tight and your travel time down, rather than criss-crossing the ring road all day.

Is there demand for medication or insulin cat visits in York?

Yes, plenty of York owners need someone who can give medication, insulin injections or eye drops during a drop-in, especially for older or diabetic cats. On Petme you list which medical tasks you are comfortable with, so owners around Heworth and Bishopthorpe can match to a sitter who can handle their cat’s routine while they travel.

Do multi-cat households in York book more visits?

Multi-cat homes are common across York’s terraced streets in Holgate and Acomb, and they often mean longer visits or two calls a day to feed, refresh water and scoop several litter trays. You set your own rate per visit on Petme, so a busier two or three cat household can pay more than a single quick check-in.
