About: I grew up working on a farm where there were plenty of dogs, horses, sheep and other animals that I cared for. My family home was also full of dogs, cats, chickens, the lot! I even had my own pet sitting/walking business as a teenager. I have been in Leeds the last 8 years and since finally moving to a suitable flat with a big private garden I am now able to help care for other peoples pets. I am home most days of the week and love going out for walks and runs, and just generally spending time outside. I have a 9-5 job but I can work from home at least 3 days a week. I am around most weekends as well and love to get out and about! I have a fenced garden where the back door can be open all day if required! I can crate your dog if needed or just let them roam about. Happy to take them out on lunch breaks and after work too - whatever your dog requires!
About: As a child our small house was bursting at the seams with animals. Everything from hamsters and guinea pigs to cats, dogs and sometimes a lizard or two. I live for animals both wild and domestic and love spending my time observing them and caring for them. Working remote full-time gives me plenty of time to work at my own pace, and to tend to pet duties between whatever dull meetings I have that day. I treat my own cat like my child. She has health insurance, plenty of toys and stimulation, high quality food and lots of cuddles (when she permits it). I would treat anybody else's pet like I would their child, since I know how important companionship is to us all.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years. In addition to looking after my own, I've been trusted by friends and family to feed, check in on, and walk many of their pets. I am experienced with a range of personalities, behaviours and temperaments, and I always make it a priority to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule. Whatever your pet needs, I can tailor my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to work around it in whatever way is best. I understand that inviting someone to care for your pet requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow instructions to ensure a comfortable environment for your pet. I treat yours and their home with respect, and make sure your pet receives plenty of care. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos to give you a peace of mind.

“India has been amazing with my babies they are usually very shy and don't like people but willow took to India straight away India came round for a chat before looking after babies to meet them and for us to talk about their days and what they like and don't like which I loved and then India did amazing looking after them sending pictures and updates daily I am so very happy that before the time was over I rebooked again for next time my babies love her and I came back to very happy babies thankyou again India”

About: I love all kinds of pets & I’m eager to spend some time with dogs! I have experience independently caring for dogs, walking them, training them & giving them plenty of fuss. Whilst I love pets, I can’t currently commit to one of my own due to my work schedule but I would love to give your pup the love & care I would give my own. I am comfortable with walking dogs on any kind of lead & I am more than happy to keep up with any training your pup might be doing. I’m happy to administer any medications your pet might need but I’m not qualified to give injections. If my calendar looks full, please just drop me a message & I can try & squeeze your pet in :) I currently work part time in retail & I am available Wednesday afternoons & on weekends. I go on a lot of hikes & walks so if you have a particularly active pet that’s happy in the car, I’d love to take them for a day out. I can’t currently keep pets in my own home as I live in a flat. But I am comfortable looking after pets in their own homes & taking them on walks on whatever kind of lead they need.
“Second visit with Paul, in just two visits he got our normally shy cat to give cuddles and a little play. Very much appreciated the extra attention so she would feel a little less lonely. Came home to a happy kitty.”


About: I had my own Labrador for 9 years and went through the fun of training him, enjoying the outdoors with him. Also medicating him as well, whether that be being able to get him to take tablets or syringe fluid in the mouth. This is my full time job and while my availability throughout the week is bookable. During the weekends I’ll be tailored with my bookings. When it comes to dog walking I offer 1:1 walks. Therefore you know your dog will get all the attention. When it comes to pet sitting, I’ll take your dog/s out for a 30 min walk and for cats I’ll follow the instructions you layout.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including rescue dogs with unique needs. Over the years, I've worked with everything from tiny, energetic terriers to large, strong breeds, and I understand how to tailor care to suit each dog’s personality and comfort level. I have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs—I have my own, a 7 year old black Labrador, Luna, who’s taught me so much about patience, trust, and the deep bond that forms with compassionate care. Whether it’s a shy rescue or a playful pup, I’m dedicated to making every dog feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I currently do varying shift patterns so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet throughout the week and weekends! I’ll be keeping my daily availability updated each day. When caring for a pet in their home, I prioritise creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment to help both the pet and owner feel at ease. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine closely—whether that’s feeding times, walks, or bedtime habits—to maintain consistency and comfort. I’m respectful of the home, keeping everything clean and secure, and I’m happy to provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Building trust is key, and I treat each home and pet as if they were my own—with kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care.
About: I’ve loved dogs, especially big breeds, for as long as I can remember. Ive grown up surrounded with Labradors and often look after my mum’s two, Hope and Bramble, who are both reactive, so I’m used to handling (being a maid) to both of them and their individual needs (it’s okay they make up for it with cuteness) I can’t currently have a dog of my own due to my landlord’s permissions, so I’m looking to get my dog fix by giving yours plenty of walks, cuddles and attention! 💖 I currently work full time during the week as a project manager in the railways, and I am in the last couple months of my degree. I would love to help out other working dog parents on evenings or weekends - you can have the night off and your baby will be safe with me x Whilst I am unable to petsit at my home, I have my own transport so I am happy to homestay at your property when required and provide regular video/call updates as required whilst you are away. My fiance and I are also active hikers so bonus points if you have a big baby who would like to join us on our adventures sometimes! I’d love to build up relationships with the owners as well as the pups! 🌸
“I highly recommend Charlotte as she is both gentle and reliable. Despite my cat Tippi newly adjusting to the loss of her brother Seamus, Charlotte was able to give her reassurance enough so that Tippi relaxed and responded to her attentions. Charlotte's daily pics were of great comfort. I will happily have Charlotte take care of Tippi going forward.”
About: Prior to living in Leeds, I lived on a rural farm in Lancashire where i specialised in looking after dogs, cats, aquatics, small pets and equestrian animals of all age ranges. Having competed with horses for much of my young life I am very relaxed around animals and have a genuine passion for pet care. I am very proactive and love doing long walks. I have lots of animal knowledge and would provide the upmost of care towards your pet. I look forward to booking with you :) I’m self employed so I am able to fit your dog care needs around my schedule, there is always someone in my house to aid in caring if needed. I approach every job with the upmost respect toward other peoples property and beloved pets. I’m a clean and caring pet sitter with a range of experience.

About: I have a great love for all dogs no matter what. I take great care of any dog like they are my own. I will ensure your dog gets all my attention all day every day I am with them. With how experienced I am with dogs, I can assure you your dogs are safe in my hands and I would do anything to ensure their safety. I've been surrounded by all kinds of dogs since birth. My mum is a dog groomer of 6 years who I have helped over the years. I have currently 4 yorkshire terriers that I have taken care of since they were puppies so I have the experience with senior dogs and puppies. From the age of 16, I have taken care of dogs all different sizes and ages in their homes from 1-2 weeks while the family were away on holiday. I am currently available nearly every day of all summer as I am a full time student at University of Liverpool and staying at home in Leeds over the summer. I currently cannot take pets to my home. However, in my home all my dogs are crate trained and have their own crates we keep them in while we're not home
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 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.
“Rebecca came over for a meet and greet before sitting with my cat Lenny. She’s warm and thoughtful and seems like she will be a great sitter. Looking forward to her babysitting Lenny soon.”

About: I grew up alongside with animals which makes me passionate and experienced into taking care of animals such as rabbits, cats, and dogs. I am used to looking after cats and dogs. I am an university student who is away from home and from my three lovely cats, I am now looking for opportunities where I can spend time with dogs and cats-something I really enjoy doing, and hoping to earn some living cost along the way of this process. I am a reliable and friendly person, and also has a flexible schedule, I am happy to take up enquires anytime, to tailor made to your needs. My availabilities covers weekends, evenings, and holidays, drop me a text to work out timings! I am someone who is attentive to details. I take pride in being observant about the surroundings and your pet's situation to keep everyone safe! If the service occurs in your residence, I take extra precautions to make sure your home is secured, with doors and windows secured as I enter and leave your home. I encourage my clients to schedule a time before the first care session whenever possible to make sure all details about your house and your pet's habits can be taken care of. For instance, I have experience taking care of pets with a tendency to run out of doors/ windows, or dogs that are still learning to walk on leash.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Leeds
I’ve used Keyleigh a few times now to look after my Belgian Malinois puppy, Poppy, and she is amazing. She has been so kind, reliable, and it has been such a relief knowing our dog is in safe hands while we’re not there. They have been so kind, reliable and patient, and it has been such a relief knowing our dog is in safe hands while we’re not there. Our dog can be a little anxious and is still building confidence with being away from us and around other dogs, but they have been incredibly understanding and have taken the time to work with her at her own pace. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the animals they look after, rather than simply seeing it as a job. Communication has always been great, and I really appreciate the updates and reassurance we receive. Knowing Poppy is happy, well cared for and getting plenty of attention makes such a difference. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and dependable to look after their dog.

Cody was super friendly and very responsive. Pepsi is quite a large and energetic dog and Cody had no problems looking after her and giving her the attention that she wanted. I will 100% be using her again for any sitting needs I have and I would highly recommend that anybody else uses her in the future :)

Lindsay is amazing, my girls are hard work and the little one is fully in the juvenile stage of growing up, teething, testing boundaries and loads of energy. Lindsay has taken it totally in her stride, been very warm and super communicative. She’s brilliant

Lizzie was great with Maple. She came over for a visit beforehand to make sure that everyone was happy. She asked lots of questions to make sure that she could give the best possible care. On the day I had lots of updates to say she was on the way to the house, during the visit, and afterwards. I was really happy with how things went. Thank you!
