“Wow! What an amazing experience we have had! Saffron has been incredible we received daily updates and our boy Frank has been so well looked after. Our house looks just like we left It! We can’t thank you enough! And we will definitely use you again! Thank you once again! Also Frank was very disappointed to see us instead of you🤣🤍”
“I dont know what I'd do without Faye. Coco is a picky customer and she has warmed up to Faye demanding cuddles and attention. I dont have worries that Coco maybe feeling anxious or bored at all. At the end of the sit, Coco always seems happy and full of content. Faye is the perfect sitter, puts effort in to making sure Coco is happy and well looked after and she even tidied up and left the house lovely and clean. Thanks for being brilliant Faye! Xx”
“Talia was absolutely great looking after our puppy Una. She was really flexible, which we hugely appreciated, and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Una seemed to have a brilliant day and was clearly very happy and comfortable with her. We’d definitely recommend Talia and would happily have her back to look after Una anytime. Thanks so much!”
“Kat was wonderful. She wanted to know everything about Benji and his needs to make sure she could look after him as well as we did. She sent us regular photos and updates and made sure she asked about anything I hadn't covered. We returned home to a very happy and very tired doggo, as well as a clean and tidy house. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“We had a great experience with Sophie looking after our dogs and would happily recommend her. Sophie was very communicative and responsive from the start, and kindly came to meet the dogs before looking after them, which was really reassuring. The dogs seemed to absolutely love her and were clearly very comfortable in her care. While we were away, Sophie kept us regularly updated with updates on how they were getting on. She was also quick to ask any questions when needed, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were being well looked after. Sophie was reliable, caring and attentive, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after the dogs again.”
“Reggie had a fantastic day with El and she is a great sitter. She sent regular updates and was really interested in making sure Reggie was happy, safe and had all his beeds met. Really fantastic and Reg will be really happy to see her again.”
“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.”
“Pooja took great care of my home and sweet girl while I was away. Excellent updates and communication. Trustworthiness and friendly. Oria is happy to have me home but she obviously had great care in my absence. I would definitely recommend! We will hire her again for sure!”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals, having both a cat and a dog of my own, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Since living in Leeds, I’ve regularly walked dogs for clients, including Kevin and Macey, building trusted relationships with both the dogs and their owners. I also have plenty of experience with cats. I lived with my housemate’s cat, Truffle, who I frequently looked after, and I’ve cat-sat Cora and Leo while their owners were away. Over the summer and holiday periods, I regularly pet sit for friends and clients when they travel, so I’m comfortable taking responsibility for pets for longer periods as well as shorter visits and walks. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playtime, companionship and following each pet’s individual routine. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates while owners are away! 🐾 Pet care fits really well into my routine and I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m also available during weekends, lunchtime and holiday periods. I love being outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely enjoy rather than just a job! I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine and can discuss timings with owners depending on what they need. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication or any individual needs. I’m respectful of people’s homes and make sure pets are safe, comfortable and given plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾
“Lizzie did such a wonderful job of looking after our new rescue dog Ziggy. She clearly took very good care of her, and our home and kept us well informed throughout. We returned to a very happy little dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook. Thanks Lizzie!”
About: I have had pets my whole life, from being born to the uni student I am today. Being away from home, I miss looking after animals and would love the pleasure of working with them through this service. I am a recent graduate living in Leeds, so I have a super flexible schedule to look after pets day or night! I currently work with cats on a weekly basis and have a part-time job so I’m used to being able to work whenever I’m needed with an irregular schedule. I have personal experience with cats and dogs, owning both as pets. I know how to look after them and would happily take them on walks.
“Justina was amazing with Ted. He was settled with her and had lots of lovely pics and updates. She looked after my house very well too - was so tidy when I got back you would’nt have known she was here! Would definitely re book Justina again :)”
“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.”
“Jordan was excellent at looking after our two dachshunds, one of which has a disability and therefore his needs are quite particular. It was a long day, 6.30am - 8pm house sit but Jordan patient and kind and was able to keep us posted throughout the day. Both dogs were happy and took to Jordan really well. 100% would have her back for another house sit.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Leeds is £30

This was the first time we’d ever left our kitten, Elchi, so I was incredibly nervous about going away. Olivia arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put us at ease and gave us confidence that Elchi would be in great hands. Olivia stayed in our home for 5 days, followed Elchi’s routine perfectly, and treated her with so much love and care. We received regular updates, photos and videos throughout our trip, which really helped us relax knowing she was happy and well looked after. It was obvious that Olivia genuinely cared about Elchi and made sure she felt safe, comfortable and loved while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless house. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a cat sitter. Olivia is kind, reliable, trustworthy and clearly has a real love for animals. We will definitely be booking with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet. Thank you so much, Olivia! 🐾❤️
Despite a last minute emergency request, Johara has been so kind and accommodating to watch after our Frenchie with disabilities for the first time. She communicated and updated us very clearly and have taken such great care of our fur baby. We not only came home to a happy, clean, and healthy dog but our house was left in tidy conditions. I would recommend Johara to anyone and we will definitely get in touch again in the future. Thank you Johara for helping us out at such a time in need!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Leeds on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of September 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 .

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.
