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 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.

“First time leaving our cat alone for a long weekend. Torrie was amazing, great with the cat (as I'm sure she is with any and every animal). Great with the updates and overall a very very trouble free and care free weekend. Will 100% be in touch with Torrie when we need her next. Thanks Torrie.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cats received! Alison really took time to get to know each of them. They weren’t just fed and checked on – there was genuine interaction, and attention. The updates and photos after each visit were a lovely touch and gave us peace of mind. We’re so grateful for the care and effort put in, and would wholeheartedly recommend Alison.”
“Helena has dropped in for Rue, our 14 week puppy, several times and every time Rue has been very happy and satisfied. Helena has sent us plenty of updates whilst being with Rue and made sure to follow any requests we may have given. We would happily recommend Helena to anyone wanting their dog to be looked after well and well loved. Thank you Helena :)”
“Nicholas was brilliant! Great communication throughout and very friendly. Took good care of the cats and carried out all tasks without issue. The cats were both relaxed and calm upon my return.”
“This is the first time I left my cats with anyone other than family. I didn’t need to worry. Brontë sent me photos and updated me after each visit. The cats obviously loved her as they came out from under the bed for cuddles. Could not recommend Brontë more and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Hannah was wonderful she looked after my old dog Troy like he was her own gave him lots of cuddles which he loved the photos she sent showed how happy he was to see her and I knew he was in good hands not many people want to look after an old dog but Hannah was brilliant put my mind at ease whilst we were away with daily contact”
About: I've grown up with animals, especially dogs. Whether it was my grandparents' German Shepherd or my own Jack Russell, I have an affinity with animals. I'm currently studying part-time and work part-time so there's a bit of flexibility for dog walking but it depends on my shift pattern. I'm an early riser, so morning walks are absolutely fine! I work 3 days a week in Lindley Huddersfield – pet sitting would be suitable if on certain days they can be left alone. Unfortunately I can't care for pets in my own home. Not because I don't want to but it's a rented property in a listed building.
About: I have taken great care of dogs ever since I was very young surrounded by a dog loving family. I have owned dogs of varying size and temperaments of which I have trained since they were puppies and walked, fed and bathed them every day since. I work part time so my availability is pretty much open. I am available for boarding over the weekends and for walks any afternoons/evenings :) I will ensure all gates are secure and collar/leads are securely fastened. The doggies will be watched over 24/7 and will be in safe hands
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and haven’t been without a dog in my life for since I was 7. I have experience looking after and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities and energy levels. I have my own gorgeous cockapoo, Coco, who is 6 years old. My life revolves around finding different walks for Coco and I to explore. We love being outside together and make this a priority day to day however I am capable of accommodating to each and every individual dog to ensure they receive the best love and care whilst staying. I pride myself on communication and will keep you up to date so that you know they are in safe hands. I have a secure fenced garden and plenty of downstairs space. I’m happy to accommodate sofa cuddles, zoomie playtimes and enrichment to ensure they have the best time away from home. I have recently left my corporate office job to accommodate dog walking full time, I’m flexible and available throughout the day and evening where required. I have a secure fenced garden with grass and paving and I am able to and have the space for a crate should you pooch require this.
About: I’m experienced in caring for dogs and other small animals, and I hold a Diploma in Animal Care and Land‑Based Studies. I genuinely enjoy looking after both dogs and cats, and I have my own animals at home, so I understand how important it is to give pets the same level of care, patience and attention they’re used to. I’m reliable, calm and confident with different breeds and personalities, and I take pride in creating a safe, happy environment for every animal I look after. I fit pet care naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already care for my own animals every day, so feeding, walking, playtime and general supervision are part of my normal schedule. I enjoy planning my week around giving pets consistent attention, keeping them happy, comfortable and well‑looked‑after. I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home where pets are cared for with patience, routine, and genuine affection. I make sure their environment is clean, comfortable, and hazard‑free, and I always prioritise their wellbeing. Pets in my home are treated with kindness, consistency, and respect, so they feel secure, relaxed, and truly looked after.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life now I care for them from house visits, walking, to day/night boarding nothing brings me more joy 🐾 I am home most of the day every day odd nip out to the shops and school run but other then that I am home Downstairs they will have run round house patio doors from living room to my secured fenced garden, I will stick to your routine as much as I can with the walks and feeding times ect.
About: I have started a business dog walking and pet sitting. Dogs are the best friends you could have! I have experience looking after dogs big and small and know how to cuddle on the sofa as well as run around the fields with high prey driven dogs. I have my own business pet sitting and dog walking, I will soon be starting a dog grooming course which will be one evening a week so I am very flexible with my availability. At home we have 2 cats, one is 8 and the other is 2. They both have different interests and needs and I know how to deal with them. I know how to adapt my routine to different animals having my own cats and looking after dogs during sits and walks.
“Nice and simple to book with it beingmy first time. Good contact with being notified when arrived and left. The report card was a lovely touch and really enjoyed seeing the photos. Will definitely be booking again with Jade. Thank you.”
“Savannah was great with communication before the drop in and made me feel much better about choosing to keep Biccy at home while I was away. She made sure to include photos and let me know how the drop in had been. I would definitely recommend Savannah and hopefully she'll let me book her again ?”
About: I have had/looked after animals my entire life, and have had a variety from cats and dogs to snakes and geckos. My love for them is intense and I can't wait you meet your furry best friends 😊 I currently have a beautiful little Yorkshire Terrier called Nim but have also looked after bigger dogs such as Mastiffs and Boxer dogs, so no big is too big nor too small. I'd ideally like to look after animals close to HD5 as I am a stay at home mum and would be bringing my son with me on the walks especially so I would only take on 1 - 2 dogs at a specific time. I look forward to hearing from you, and your fur babies, Antonia x
About: I’m 20 years old and have done dog walking for 2 years ( paid work) cared for dogs for a week whilst their owners were away, and grown up around dogs. Thanks to this, I have much experience walking, playing and looking after dogs. At the moment I am on my summer holiday as I am a University Student. I also have no job, so this is great as it allows me to have a completely free schedule to take care of pets, so I can always be in and give them my full attention. I live in a good sized home, so this allows for lots of space for pets! I also have a large garden, meaning dogs would be able to play out there multiple times a day (whilst on a lead if this is necessary for your dog). I offer bathing and grooming for your dogs and am very happy to do this! Your pet would be cared for and loved very much and taken on how ever many walks they need per day. I live near multiple woodland areas which make for amazing, stimulating walks for dogs.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Kirklees is £12

Highly recommend!!! I would give more stars if I could. She has honestly been brilliant. Letitia does a brief visit to get to know you and your cat. She goes over the plan to make sure she understands everything. My kitten adores her from the videos I have seen. I revieved a number of pictures and videos as my kitten is so playful. I am honestly so grateful for finding Letitia. I will be using her again in the future ❤️ she did three visits a day and I had someone else do the fourth visit who I would 100% not recommend. Having two different sitters has helped me understand the service and what is provided. I got very little back in terms of updates and even forgotten to say she had been today. I got one line messages where as Letitia shared changing of litter, food and play/energy levels. Thank you so so much!!! I hope this review reassures you that your cat will be okay❤️
Received daily updates and photos which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She clearly bonded so well with my cat, and it was obvious Lasy was happy, comfortable and well cared for throughout. I’ve used her before and have always had a great experience, and I’d happily use her again in the future. Highly recommend.
This is the first time I left my cats with anyone other than family. I didn’t need to worry. Brontë sent me photos and updated me after each visit. The cats obviously loved her as they came out from under the bed for cuddles. Could not recommend Brontë more and will definitely be using her again in the future.
100% happy with the service received. Antonia visited my cat twice a day as promised. She sent photos everyday and I could see that my cat was happy and relaxed in his usual sleeping spots. Antonia also took care of opening and closing my curtains and making sure my house was secure. Highly recommend Antonia and would be happy to use her again.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Kirklees pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
