About: I am a friendly, kind animal lover, who has had dogs and cats most of her life, I have experience with birds, fish and reptiles. I’ve recently returned back to the UK after travelling through Asia and Oceania doing house and pet sits along the way. I understand how precious your little family member is and how important it is they’re looked after by someone you can trust!! I have experience in administering medicine, walking and looking after a variety breed of dogs. I have 100% 5 star reviews on Trusted Housesitters. Any questions please message me :) I prefer to book sits only 2/3 weeks in advance. I am extremely flexible as I am self employed, I like to work with the owner on their schedule. We would meet up prior so that everyone is comfortable with the arrangements. I offer to look after your pets in their own environment or if needed, to be walked. This can be something to discuss together applicable.

About: As soon as I bought my house, I knew I needed to complete it with a dog. I love nothing more than a long walk with my dog, rain or shine. I raised my dog from 5 months old - she's a rescue so I know how to deal with scared or anxious dogs. I also love animals in general - I've house sat for friends who have cats, and rabbits. Walks Mondays - 6am - 9am, 12-2pm Tuesdays - 6pm onwards Wednesday - 6pm onwards Thursday - 6pm onwards Friday - 6am - 9am, 12-2pm, 5pm onwards Saturday - Any time Sunday - Any time Check-ins Monday - Any time Tuesday - 6pm onwards Wednesday - 6pm onwards Thursday - 6pm onwards Friday - Any time Saturday - Any time Sunday - Any time I work at home on Mondays and Fridays so am available for walks or check-ins. Throughout the week (Tuesday-Thursday) I'm available to check in or walk your pet after 6pm. On weekends I'd love to hang out with your pet anytime. I am a trustworthy and reliable, able to collect or check in on your pet from your house, and I'll always send you an update to let you know I'm there. I am able to bring my dog too - if your pet wants a friend, or I can do solo visits and walks. I know how much these are helpful if your dog is anxious.

Torri had just house sitted for me for one night. She came to a greet and meet before and was very keen to talk about all my dogs little quirks so she could look after him the best she could. My woody absolute loved her , he ate all his food which in the past other people that look after him haven’t been as successful . She is patient loving and caring. Woody loves her so much do he slept with her on her bed. Looking forward to Torrie looking after him again .

Absolutely fantastic! Contacted Helena very last minute after being let down and she was amazing. My mum never gets to leave the house with her needy doggo but he didn’t even miss us one bit. My mum got to spend the day with her grandson who lives in London. Something she rarely gets to do. Brilliant sitter and all the updates put an anxious owner at massive ease. Thank you so much!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with both dogs and cats in the family, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, from playful pups to independent or shy cats. I also studied animal care and husbandry at college, which gave me a great understanding of pet behaviour, safety, and wellbeing. I currently have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your pets. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own ❤️ I'm a nurse at the local hospital so I usually have 3 or 4 days off a week, so plenty of time for feeding, playing, cuddling and taking care of the cats. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I only provide services in the owner’s home, helping your cat stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’m reliable, tidy, and treat both your pet and home with the utmost respect, keeping you updated throughout.

About: I've spent over a decade caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments — not just as a sitter, but as a true companion. From high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I understand their unique care requirements. You'll never wonder how your dog is doing. I provide regular photo updates, check-ins, and stay in close touch so you're always in the loop. Pet care is a meaningful and regular part of my weekly routine. I dedicate time each day for walks, feedings, litter box cleaning, and quality time with the animals I care for. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure I’m fully available for each pet — whether for daily check-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Even with other responsibilities, pet care remains a top priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, medications, walk schedules, and any special quirks or preferences. I respect the pet owner’s home, clean up after the pet (litter box, food area, accidents if any), and provide updates with photos or videos. My goal is for the pet to feel safe and relaxed in their own familiar space — and for you to feel confident while you're away.

Lou was fantastic with Narla. From the first message she was clear, friendly and great at communicating the whole way through.We felt completely at ease knowing Narla was in safe hands. Lou sent regular updates, which was really reassuring, and it was obvious that Narla was happy and well cared for. We could not have asked for a better experience and would happily book with her again.

Chris cared for our dog (who is very anxious) and our cat for 2 days and overnight last weekend. Similarly to our first booking (last June for 5 nights) Chris was prompt and professional in his communication with us setting up the booking and in the lead up to the stay. Chris was calm and thoughtful in his approach to caring for our pets and discussed their neds prior to the stay. We have an anxious dog who, will resource guard, and has bitten members of our family before, in certain situations. This needs to be handled carefully by anyone providing care, and Chris was able to take on this information and look after our dog. Unfortunately, there was an incident where out dog did bite Chris on the hand. Chris alerted us to this and provided information and reassurance about this whilst we were away. He adjusted his approach (to prevent a re-occurrence) continuing to provide everything our dog needed despite the incident. We were very thankful for this, and it is a demonstration of Chris’ commitment to the animals he cares for that he continued to do this. I would definitely recommend Chris as an excellent sitter, or walker, for any pets. Thanks again for all you help.

About: From the age of around 11 I’ve looked after dogs and cats as well as Ferrets. I’ve also been around dogs my whole life and love to spend time getting to know new furry friends. I have a Mini Dachshund girl Penny and a Boy cat Stanley. Whilst both being very friendly and loving in harmony penny only really appreciates other dogs her size so we only take in small dogs for overnight stays/doggy day care with us. Walks - As for walks I am open to any dogs for this and I have a car for travel to appropriate walk destinations. Home Visits - I am able to visit any size or age pets within a 10 mile radius. The amount of times I visit and the length of visit will have to be negotiated upon booking. I am a very flexible person I do not have a 9-5 job I work for myself at home. My days consist of walking my own dog and having a lot of time in the garden playing with Penny. I have a fenced off garden that is located just off the back of a big field so it’s perfect for dog walks. I have one girl dog and one boy cat but as cats do he stays out of the way and is very dog friendly due to his sister being a dog. I am only able to accept crate trained pets for overnight services and a crate must accompany your pet on arrival as I do not have a spare unfortunately. I would appreciate a list if I was looking after your pet in your home so I can do exactly as you do.

Ruby looked after my 2 staffies Ruby & Frank for the weekend. My dogs can be a handful at times, especially when playing together as one is getting older whilst the other still a puppy. Ruby met both my dogs prior to the house sitting weekend in my home. Both dogs took to her immediately and I loved the fact she instantly interacted with them. Frank the younger of my dogs especially took to her and didn't want her to leave. Ruby sent regular updates on how they were doing as they can fret a little and get anxiety when I'm not home, but they were perfectly fine and looked happy. It was lovely to see how Ruby is with dogs and you clearly see that she adores them. I will definitely be booking in the future with her.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Laura. She looked after everything perfectly for the 10 days we were away on our honeymoon, and we had complete peace of mind knowing our home and pets were in such safe, caring hands. Laura was reliable, responsible, kind, and incredibly thoughtful — she kept us updated, followed all instructions, and went above and beyond what we expected. We came home to happy pets and a beautifully cared-for home, which made the end of our honeymoon even more special. Thank you so much, Laura!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kirklees

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Kirklees on Rover is £38.53 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,695 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kirklees. Enter your postcode 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:

  • 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 Kirklees 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 Kirklees 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.
