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.
