“Armish looked after my cat while I was away for a few days and I couldn’t have asked for more. She sent lots of updates and photos after every visit, which really helped put my mind at ease. It was obvious she genuinely spent time with my cat rather than just popping in to feed him. I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“What a lovely, calm, quietly confident person Marion is! She picked up on my dog Alfie's need for her to set her boundaries with him and within the hour he was completely responsive to her, even with all the excitement! Will definitely request Marion's time again.”
“Cody is absolutely lovely. She came to the house for a meet and greet prior to looking after my cat. She kept me up to date every day, took pictures and did her best to spend time with Penny however she was a little too shy. I would 100% book Cody again.”

About: Hi. I’m a professional, qualified actuary based here in Leeds city centre. I have experience dog sitting for a range of dogs (including senior citizens). I’m hoping to build relationships with a few local dogs (and their owners!) for sitting and walking services. I’m located close to Leeds train station and typically head along the canals for walks. I work full time although my work is flexible with when and where I work meaning I can typically adapt my schedule to your needs. I’m very patient and I have cared for nervous dogs in the past so I’m used to quickly building trust with them. I enjoy walks around Leeds city centre or further afield in Yorkshire on the weekend. I live with my partner who is equally caring and loving of dogs.
“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and the whole experience could have been smoother. Katrina gave us peace of mind and constant communication. Our cats, who do not like strangers a lot, warmed up to her pretty quickly. When we came home they were relaxed and obviously well cared for. Thank you katrina - will definitely seek your service again”
About: I am a animals lovers and I take care of different animals starting from kindergarten. I studied animal care while I was highschool so I havd a good foundation for taking care of animals I am currently a student, so the time is flexible. I can visit your house or walking a dog during my free time. I wish I could meet animals everyday! I can easily understand whats dog and cats need with my past experience and my knowledge from my animals care education. Also I am a careful person, so you can rely on me while I am looking at your pets
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for friends and families pets whilst they’ve been away so their pets could be at home. My first part-time job was at a veterinary practice, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals. I genuinely love spending time with pets and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently between jobs so have plenty of time to care and play with pets! Therefore my schedule is very flexible for pet sitting and dog walking. I want to try and replicate a pet owners routine as much as possible to keep the pets comfortable and happy. I enjoy long walks and playing games as well as cuddling up to the pets in the evening!
About: I love dogs because they bring so much joy, loyalty, and companionship into my life. Their unconditional love and playful energy make every day brighter, and I truly enjoy the bond that forms between a person and their dog. Growing up with dogs my whole life has given me a deep appreciation for their unique personalities and the comfort they provide. I've also gained a lot of experience over the years when it comes to walking, bathing, and looking after dogs. Having been around them for as long as I can remember, I’ve learned how to meet their needs and make sure they’re happy and healthy. Whether it’s long walks, grooming, or just spending quality time together, I feel confident in caring for dogs and making sure they feel loved and well-cared for. I currently work nights so I'm fully available throughout the day and the weekends, so I'm more than happy for dog walks during the day or having cats/dogs stay as well. My home is very safe has a back garden thats fenced and my room/ Living room is spacious and my roommates also love animals and have plenty of animals in their homes. We currently have no pets.
About: I have experience with different breeds of dog after sitting/boarding for friends and family as well as on here. I live with my fiancé who is also able to help and we live in a pet friendly apartment complex in the city centre. We also have a 2.5 year old mini sausage dog (male) who is super gentle and a great playmate, therefore have lots of toys and comfy beds for the pooches to sleep in. He can be a bit wary at first so it would be great to do a meet&greet first! We would of course look after yours as well as we would our own. We usually take our sausage on a short walk first thing, again after lunchtime and before dinner but happy to adjust to any specific needs. We can provide attention and cuddles, walks and toilet breaks as long and often as the pooch needs, can also provide many toys and stimulation for them.
“As usual Justyna gave lots of updates and made us feel confident Tinker was being well looked after. She is reliable and was able to help us out last minute when we had a change of plans!”
“Pooja is very professional and very sweet with my Evie we went to our nieces wedding very stress free knowing my Evie was in good hands. Definitely l with book Pooja for my next Adventure (vacation ) trip.”
About: I haven’t owned a dog myself yet, but it’s something I’ve always wanted and I’m hoping to get one in the near future. In the meantime, I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience looking after friends’ pets, including both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel settled and cared for while their owners are away. I really enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get plenty of attention. I’m really active so love going for walks. I work full time, so I’d be looking for early mornings/evenings in the weekday. I work from home so could be flexible on lunch times too. I have a good availability over the weekend. You can trust me with your pet I will keep them safe and secure at all times. I’ll look after them based on their needs.
About: I have cats myself, as well as regularly feeding and caring for friends and neighbours cats. I love caring for cats and their different personalities and quirks. As well as being a cat person, I also love dogs! I have cared for dogs of all sizes, including overnight. I’m available to house sit on weekends and to do drop in visits during the week. Caring for your pet will be my priority. I will treat your pets as I’d treat my own, which is what I’d always want in a pet sitter. I am happy to administer medication if needed (I have experience with this due to my own elderly cats), and I will always put the safety of your pets first.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Leeds
Ruth was amazing! We met initially to meet and greet our cat and we discussed any needs and habits our cat may have. We felt instantly at ease after meeting Ruth as we’ve never used this type of service before. Whilst away we were provided with detailed updates and images every day which gave us great peace of mind. On our return our cat was happy, relaxed and most importantly well taken care of. The house was spotless too and any bowls were cleaned and tidied too. We will definitely use Ruth again in the future. We highly recommend. Thank you.
Tamsin provided me with wonderfully detailed report cards and action shots of my girl whilst I was away, which really helped settle my nerves. Made me miss her all the more though! I'm grateful she was in such good hands during Tamsin's visits. Have already booked again, and know Joni will be pleased to see you in future! ⭐️🐾
Yan was fantastic, she really cared for my cat Leo, recently he had a heart complication and she made sure he took his medication and kept a clean environment for him, she sent me daily photos which showed him at his happiest and relaxed, even showed a great deal of care towards him, she even wrote a note each day about how he was behaving and feeling. We were gone for two weeks and I’m happy I chose her to look after him in that time. Will book her again the next time we’re away! 😁👌
Becca was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Banana. We requested her at fairly short notice and she was available and very accommodating in meeting Banana and collecting the house key. Banana was very content during our weekend away and Becca was great at sending updates. Would recommend Becca and will definitely be asking again!
Conny is great! Left my cat with her for a few days and she was super responsive, sent lots of pictures and followed all instructions. Most importantly, you could tell she actually gave Momo attention as we have had experiences in the past where the sitter would just ignore him so this is really lovely to see! He was completely fine when we got back and his usual happy self 😊 will definitely be a return customer
Joanna is a great cat sitter! I really appreciate how well she looks after Katja when I'm away, giving her lots of fuss and cuddles. Katja can be a bit of a grump but she clearly loves Joanna! She also sends a photo and message every day. Thanks for doing such a great job again!
Hattie was excellent and I couldn't have asked for anything more! So much care and attention not only for my pet but also my home and making sure everything was communicated to me :) This was my first time using Rover & pet sitter and have had the most positive experience and without a doubt would like to book in with Hattie again.
Emily did such a lovely job looking after our two cats while we were away. She was really easy and quick to communicate with to book and arrange dates, and managed to coax our shy cats out to play and say hello. She sent lots of photos and updated us at every visit. We would absolutely recommend Emily, and will be rebooking, thanks Emily!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Leeds on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 982 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Leeds. About 92% of Leeds sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. 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.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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.
