About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have always been a massive animal lover. Growing up with a gorgeous Cocker Spaniel and crazy Springer Spaniel with very different personalities has helped me learn how to handle different dog behaviour. I’ve also cared for lots of different breeds, including a Labrador rescue who had issues with lone people when on walks. I was able to manage this and make him feel safe and secure during our time together so he was able to enjoy himself safely. I’ve cared for family members’ dogs back home when they’ve needed, and now I’m in Chapel Allerton, Leeds, I have a few dogs that I regularly walk and care for. I also have a dog called Yoko, who I share with my ex-partner. We split our time with her, so I’ll only accept a request when Yoko is with her other owner, to make sure I can give any dogs I’m looking after my full attention. I love being able to give the dogs a fun day out exploring, doing all their favourite things, because seeing animals happy is one of my favourite things! 🐶❤️ I currently work in a very small, flexible office where pets are welcomed (I’ve brought a few in to work and they’ve loved it). I also have the option to work from home on a Wednesday. I’m available after 4 on weekdays for walks or dog sitting, and both Saturday and Sunday on the weekends. I also have a car and have had many dogs in there with me, so I pick them up, drop off and take them for adventures all over! I’d love to know all about your pet so I can get an idea of what they need from me to make sure their happy and having the best time! I know all animals have different needs and ways they need to be cared for, so I’m happy to learn all about what your pet needs! I will also happily provide regular updates and photos of your pet, so you can see how their getting on and what they’ve been up to. As I rent currently I won’t be able to provide boarding at my home, but I’m more than happy to care for you dog in your home, and in an environment your animal is already comfortable with.
“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”
“Jordan was wonderful with Satan and took great care of both her and my home. Communication was easy, I received regular updates and photos, and I came home to a happy cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Jordan stay again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Leeds is £30
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Leeds
We had a lovely experience with Morven! 🥰 Despite not having a huge amount of experience with dogs or being on Rover for very long, she did really well. She was incredibly kind, friendly, calm and patient with all the dogs, and just seemed like such a lovely person to have around. Also, there was a bit of a mix-up with the booking, but Morven was really flexible and understanding, which we really appreciated. She was on time and available throughout the evening, which gave us peace of mind. My boy Juan is quite nervous, so it was a relief to see that he settled on Morven’s knee and that’s always such a reassuring sign! 🥹 He doesn’t always take to sitters straight away, so that really meant a lot to us. Thank you so much for everything Morven! 💗 We really appreciated your kindness and would be delighted to book with you again!!!
Kerry did a fantastic job of looking after our two cats, fish and home for a week. It was obvious from the meet and greet that she loves animals and knows how to care for cats. She is reliable, super friendly and was very respectful of our home. Kerry followed our instructions perfectly and sent us regular updates and photos, she was also able to give medication to one of our cats. They were very happy cats on our return and Kerry was definitely a hit with them! We would definitely book Kerry again.
This has been our first experience using a pet sitter as the boys usually stay at a Cattery. Saffron has been great from start to finish, quick with communication and making us feel at ease with the whole process. The boys and the house were both well looked after and the updates helped to put our minds at rest and enjoy our time away knowing they were in safe hands and going about their daily cat routines as normal. We’ll definitely use Saffron again if she is available!
Cameron did a great job house sitting and looking after our two cats whilst we were away. We got daily updates, he was quick to respond, aswell as helping us with the numerous deliveries we receive due to my husbands business. We returned to a spotlessly clean house. Would definitely recommend!
We were very worried about leaving our cat whilst we were away. He’s 19 and needs regular medication and attention. We’d never considered a live-in cat sitter, and it was only after searching online we discovered it was an actual thing! Izzy put us immediately at ease with the whole situation and we’d go as far as to say it was down to her that we were able to enjoy our holiday so much. She was professional, had great communication skills and it was obvious from our first meeting that she was experienced, trustworthy and totally at ease looking after our boy. We received daily updates and photos, and our house was spotless when we arrived home. Our cat was as relaxed and happy as ever, it was business as usual! We cannot recommend Izzy highly enough. If like us, you’re worried and anxious about going away, then send her a message, you won’t regret it!
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.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting – Leeds
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.
