“We were a little anxious leaving our girl with "a stranger" for the first time since she adopted us. Tina made the experience so much easier. She was calm and patient and kept us informed while we were away about how our girl was doing. Our house was kept clean and nothing was out of place. We will use Tina's comforting services again!”
“Shatoria was a joy to have in our home, so much so that our dogs did not even care when we came back after nearly two weeks away, and ran right upstairs to her room to look for her. Excellent communication and attention to detail, and I am almost certain our home was cleaner when she left than when she arrived. Easily the best pet care experience we’ve had. Booking again ASAP.”
About: In addition to my lifelong passion for animals, I have over two years of professional experience working in a dog daycare and boarding facility. In this role, I provide individualized care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and training levels. I am also experienced in daily pet care tasks, including walking, bathing, brushing, feeding, and administering basic care routines. My background in animal handling has taught me the importance of patience, safety, and clear communication, allowing me to provide a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for your pups! I am available to care for your pet most weekdays after 11:30 AM, and Fridays/Weekends at any time! Your pet's safety is the highest priority. I will closely monitor your pet during play and in the event of being outside near other animals. With my experience, I am great at reading dogs body language, signals and behavior. I care about your pet as if it is my own!
“Jessica watched our 2 dogs while we were out of town! I loved that she sent pics and updates everyday and kept us in the loop. She was also great at troubleshooting to fix a stubborn stuck door in our house (where the dog food was).”
“We absolutely LOVED Rebecca and so did our dog Reba! We’re so happy we decided to have a house sitter instead of the traditional boarding route. We will 100% rebook with Rebecca moving forward.”
“Tiana was amazing with our dog and the house was well cared for while gone for an extended period of time. She provided regular updates with pictures that were much appreciated when we started to miss our baby girl.”
“Karina was amazing with our pup! She sent frequent updates and pics and even bought her little treats. She was incredibly flexible with our dates and times, and went above and beyond any sitter we’ve ever had- both for our dog and kids. And super affordable. Highly recommended!!!”
“Pam was everything we could have asked for in a sitter and more! She immediately recognized our rescue’s anxiety and quirkiness and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. She was very communicative and sent lots of wonderful updates while we were gone! We were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing that our dog was in incredibly kind, capable hands. We would love to work with Pam again!”
“Emma was absolutely fantastic with our large dogs! They are a bit high maintenance in their own ways but they were taken care of perfectly! Will absolutely be booking again in the future!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog while I was traveling for work. She sent daily updates and many pictures. I would definitely use her services again.”
About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
“Kimberly is extraordinary! My pups love her, and she takes such good care of my home. She goes above and beyond, even taking the initiative to watering my sagging plants. Highly recommend!!”
“Samantha is great with my beagles. They got into stuff they shouldn’t have and she graciously cleaned up after them. Very communicative when there was concerns. Will request her services in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog watcher! Jess was extremely responsive and communicative from the start, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, not only were my dogs happy and well cared for, but my house was also clean and tidy—such a thoughtful touch. What really stood out was how much effort she put into getting to know my dogs. It was clear she genuinely cared about their personalities, routines, and comfort. She truly went above and beyond in every way. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, attentive pet care.”
“Jayde watched my dog Riot for 3 nights while I was on a trip. She followed all the directions I gave her. She sent me daily updates and pictures where Riot looked very happy and snuggly. When I got home, Riot was in good spirits and my house was cleaner than I left it. Couldn’t be more thankful to know my dog was in good hands while I was away.”
“I booked Jen to sit my senior dog who is very sweet but particular, and she did a fantastic job. Super clearly asking about his needs and his schedule so I could go on a family trip with no worries about my boy. Super timely and clear updates with fantastic pictures that made me feel immediately comforted. I’m looking forward to booking with Jen again when Peanut needs some extra care.”
“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 812 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leeds. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Leeds walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Leeds maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Leeds choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 veterinarian. 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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
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.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
