  • Residents in Heslington and Bishopthorpe had limited access to verified carers

About Pet Sitting in York

York is one of England's most beloved historic cities, with a stunning medieval centre surrounded by leafy residential suburbs and open countryside. From the elegant streets of Bishopton and Heslington to the riverside paths of Rawcliffe, York offers pet owners and sitters a uniquely beautiful environment for animal care.

The city's green spaces are exceptional. The River Ouse and Foss towpaths provide miles of scenic riverside walking. Knavesmire , the open common where York Racecourse stands , is a favourite off-lead spot for local dog walkers. Rawcliffe Country Park, Askham Bog nature reserve, and the rolling landscape of the Vale of York are all within easy reach.

Petme connects York pet owners with verified local sitters for boarding, walks, house sitting, and drop-in visits. The Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible vet costs, subject to its terms.
