About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a passion for animals. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own, I have developed a strong understanding of their needs, routines, and behaviours. I am home full-time and available seven days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have my own Lhasa Apso called Romeo, who I walk twice a day, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, shorter strolls, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to tailor my care to their individual needs.
“Faye is brilliant, she kept Coco well fed, played with her and I came home to Coco seeming very happy! The Photo updates were such a warming relief. So glad to have found Faye! Thanks for being reliable, attentive and amazing. X”
“Ashley was great. She really helped us out with a dog minding emergency. She was great at communicating, sent lots of updates, and took very good care of our boys and the house. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“At short notice, Bambi came through for us to look after our dogs, Mia and Milo. Had great feed back during her time with Mia n Milo, with constant communication and pictures. They had a great time with walks and cuddles.”
“Charlotte was wonderful! She stayed at my home for 2 nights whilst I was away on a work trip. She was really receptive to Pikachu's care instructions a day really respectful of my space (you could barely tell anyone had been staying here in my absence!). I got regular updates and it was clear that pikachu was happy and comfortable. She took really good care of him and im really pleased with every aspect of the sitting. Thank you Charlotte! (And for being generous with your time with my late return!) Pikachu and I really enjoyed meeting you.”
“Freya did a good job of looking after my greyhound Lando, as well as the house. She communicated well, relying to messages in good time and keeping me updated with news and photos. Would use again.”
“Very professional, friendly and most of all, Skye loved her! I received lots of lovely photos throughout the day which was just what I wanted- thanks so much, will defo be booking again. Also, Caitlin was available last minute and went above and beyond to help- thank you ❤️”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a Pet First Aid & CPR certified pet sitter with 7 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a doctor, I bring a calm, attentive, and safety-focused approach to every pet in my care. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My home is quiet, clean, pet-free, and child-free, providing a peaceful environment for cats and suitable dogs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule, medications, feeding routine, and any special care instructions. I work from home most days, which means your cat or dog will receive plenty of company, supervision, and attentive care. Whether I’m boarding your cat, house sitting, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking your dog for a walk, I tailor my care to their individual routine and needs. For boarding, I only welcome one household at a time, allowing me to provide a calm environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your cat or dog in someone else’s care. As a doctor and Pet First Aid & CPR certified sitter, I provide attentive, safe, and compassionate care. Whether I’m caring for your companion in my home or yours, I carefully follow feeding routines, medications, exercise requirements, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. My home is quiet, clean, pet-free, and child-free, providing a peaceful environment for boarding cats.
“Georgina has been fantastic - the first meeting was very detailed and reassured us that our very young puppy would be in great hands! Our pup took to her immediately, and she was extremely understanding and patient of his excitable moments and the fact he’s still being trained. We’re thrilled to have found Georgina, and will definitely book again”
“Lizzi was great, very conscientious and sent plenty of updates. I know she looked after our pups really well giving me great peace of mind. I would have no hesitation booking again for house sitting 🤩”
About: Hi, I'm India. I own two ragdoll cats (indoor) but grew up with dogs, and have had guinea pigs, rats, and lizards in between, and I've even befriended my local murder of crows. I love all animals and pride myself on my ability to build trust with them at their own pace. I work part time so have plenty of time to dedicate to cat and dog sitting. I've got experience with all kinds of pets, from cuddly cats to aloof and nervous dogs. I'm fine with administering oral and injected medicines, picking up animals, and generally following instructions to keep your babies happy and safe. If you hire me, you can expect plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pets are in good hands. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets. I'm available most mornings, evenings, and weekends, and some afternoons. I have experience with and am confident in looking after and walking large dogs, boisterous dogs and nervous dogs. I will always meet before any job to run through instructions on how your dog prefers to be looked after and any house specific info I need to know.
About: **Pricing below includes a 15% booking fee & an additional 15% fee they deduct from each booking I make!** ( Due to having chronic health issues, I am unable to dogsit for long periods of time.) I'm Addie, 32, she/they. I have experience with multiple dog breeds, from jack russels and staffys, to huskies and westies, to lurchers and pugs. From a young age I took an interest in dogs and I consider them my soul animals. As a child, I started training my Grandma's dogs and then my own family dogs. I've enjoyed learning about dogs behaviours, cues and psychology which gives me a better understanding of each individual animal. I had my own dog, up until 2 years ago as she passed away and so I have experience of being the sole carer of a pet dog. I'm always my friends and families go to person for dog sitting and I've been called a "dog whisperer". One of the proudest things I can say is that all animals trust me and that is such an honour! I live in a warm and compassionate shared house with 3 other dog lovers. Everyone mostly works from home so there will never be a shortage of cuddles and attention. At the moment, I don't work due to chronic health issues, so I have a lot of free time (depending on whether I'm having a bad flare up or not). Because of this, all my love and attention is on caring for the pets I look after. I tend to only ever look after one dog at a time, so I can give them my full attention. In my household there are no other animals or any children. I don't have an enclosed garden but I'm happy to take them to the toilet as many times as they need on the lead. There are several grass sections and woodland right next to my house. I always wants dogs to feel like my home is their home and that includes going on the sofa and bed.
“Saffron was brilliant with Colin, super accommodating from the meet and greet and throughout, proactively making sure that the experience went smoothly and that Colin was as comfortable as possible. Would absolutely recommend Saffron, I know Colin and my house would be in safe hands - thank you!”
“Johara was a great Cat sitter and such a lovely person as a whole. We have Saffron the 1 year old and two older cats Astrix &Ginger both 16. Astrix unfortunately has some health needs but Johara took it all in her stride and did the upmost to make sure they were comfortable and healthy while we were gone. My babies loved her and miss her already. ”
“As soon as I met Ellie I knew I was leaving Colin in good hands, she immediately got set understanding his needs and any little quirks and put my mind at rest. She sent loads of photos and updates and it was clear that Colin was having a great time with loads of adventures, and I came back to a very happy dog and a clean home! Would absolutely rebook again :) Thank you Ellie!”

Liam took great care of Rufus, Maisie and Winnie for an overnight stay at our house. Our miniature poodle is very nervous around new people but Liam’s calm approach helped her to settle. We got plenty of updates and photos as requested. We’re now looking forward to a week away in September knowing they’ll be well looked after.
Natalia put us straight at ease as she was great with Milo, who was relaxed in her presence. We had a stressfree time away knowing that he was going to be well looked after. We appreciated the updates and leaving the house clean and tidy! Would highly recommend 😊
Julie looked after our little dog Winnie for a week while we were away, and she was absolutely fantastic. She sent regular updates, including videos and lots of pictures, which really helped us relax and fully enjoy our holiday knowing Winnie was in such good hands. Julie clearly bonded so well with Winnie, and it was obvious how much Winnie loved being looked after by her. It made such a difference seeing how happy and comfortable she was. She also took great care of our home and was such a lovely, trustworthy person. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough and will 100% be booking her again for our next holiday.
I have no words other than WOW and THANK YOU to Caitlin! This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Ted with a professional dog sitter rather than friends or family so I was naturally quite nervous. Caitlin immediately put me at ease with her warm, bubbly personality and from the moment we met I knew Ted was in safe hands. Ted is usually quite an anxious dog with separation anxiety, but from the moment I left he settled so quickly and looked genuinely happy and relaxed. Seeing that gave me so much reassurance. Caitlin kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of lovely photos and messages and it was clear he was having the best time :D! He enjoyed plenty of walks, lots of love and attention and was so well looked after. Caitlin is an absolute superstar. I genuinely couldn’t recommend her highly enough… although part of me wanted to gatekeep her all to myself! 😂 Thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Ted ❤️
Booked Izzy for dog sitting our cocker spaniel Burtie at relatively short notice. He took a liking to her immediately and was relaxed and comfortable having received regular updates and photos. Izzy was professional and kept our house very clean and tidy for us to return to. Would highly recommend.
Ruby was wonderful with our 13 week old Labrador puppy, Crumpet. She looked after him so well, and it was clear he was happy being with her. The updates and photos were really appreciated and gave us peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Crumpet with Ruby again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. Thank you, Ruby!
Sophie was amazing from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated with regular photos and messages throughout our puppy's stay, which gave us real peace of mind. Our puppy was so well looked after, and we couldn't be happier with the care he received. We would definitely recommend Sophie and will be booking with her again!
Great service from Megan. She came to meet the dogs before the visit and they were at ease with her straight away. She worked around what the dogs needed to make sure they were well looked after. The house was also neat and tidy when we got back. We would absolutely use again.
Andrea was excellent with our kitty. She is experienced with administering meds and scrupulous about maintaining the pet's feeding schedule. Her communication is excellent and she is extremely affectionate with the pet she is looking after. She is also an excellent housesitter and we would unreservedly recommend her to look after your sensitive house kitty.
Lois looked at after our lurcher Koa for a week, and was great. It was during the heatwave and had updates every day- we felt really comfortable that Koa was well looked after and kept safe from the hot weather! You can tell how much Lois loves dogs and would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Leeds on Rover is £34.5 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 1,451 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leeds. 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 Leeds 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 Leeds 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.
