About: Eager to get some more reviews, as I’ve just started on the app. I’ve had dogs for the past 13 years. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs both in the UK and abroad. I love dog training and research it in my free time - so I’m willing to train your dog to be better on the leash or to do tricks if you’d like. Happy to do meet and greets! Excited to meet your pets! I have a flexible university schedule and would love some time to unwind spent with animals! I usually have a day off of uni as well as a free weekend but am happy to commute from further out of Leeds for my studies if my care involves a longer stay. I am happy to either check in on/stay full time at your house to look after your pets. I want to tailor my care to what each pet needs so everyone can have the best experience!
“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.”
“Camilla looked after our bunny for about a week, and she did an excellent job! She was lovely and warm from the very beginning, and we felt very comfortable leaving our bunny in her care. I hope she found everything she needed easily while staying with him. She even left some treats for our bunny, which he absolutely loves! 🐰 It was such a thoughtful touch. We would definitely choose Camilla again if we need a pet sitter in the future, and she would be our first choice. Highly recommended!”

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. I am also Canine First Aid trained. 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.
About: i have always had dogs growing up. during my summer holidays i walk dogs and help out at a local boarding kennel. i have experience with both puppies and seniors and dogs of all sizes. i’m currently studying at leeds arts university which means my days and hours are pretty flexible. i’m available for weekends and 2/3 days during the week. i can provide a clearer schedule once i receive my class schedule next week. i will adapt to your dog’s routine and prioritise their safety and comfort. by keeping your dog/s in the safety of their own home under my supervision you can rest assured knowing they are happy, comfortable and safe. i have two dogs of my own so i have experience caring for dogs but they do not live in leeds with me.
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.
About: I’ve been around lots of different lovely cats and other animals for many years, and I’m very confident in looking after them in whatever they need💖🫶✨ I have a hybrid job so I’m able to work from home when needed, I’m up at 7am everyday and sleep quite late. I’m definitely a homebody so I’m in at the weekends quite often. I live in a flat in the first floor with no balcony, but outdoor access is very easy, and I live near some green areas.
About: I fell in love with looking after animals when I got my first pet - a Syrian hamster named Truffle at the age of 14. Since then, I have looked after many friends’ cats and dogs. I have just graduated from music scholarship, therefore haven’t been surrounded by pets for a good 3 years and I can’t wait to get to know your furry friends. My flat is filled with calming music played on my guitar, which has been a hit with my friends’ pets (as you can see in my photo). I also love to run and do it almost everyday, so let me know if your energetic little friend wants to join me! I work part time from home and on my own clock so your pet will get all the attention and cuddles they need. I spend my days playing my acoustic guitar which is something which a lot of pets find relaxing, I’ve found; I love to go on walks and runs if you have an energetic furry friend. I would be happy to take them on a run with me. My flat is occupied by myself and my partner who is regularly in the flat and has extensive knowledge on looking after dogs. I keep my flat incredibly pristine with no food, sharp objects, medication, cables and generally small pieces of plastic not being tolerated in my flat as a personal preference. We keep the floor hoovered and mopped and all plants will be kept in another room as they can be toxic. I will be respectful of others’ spaces and leave everything as I found it as well, I am happy with any client having my number or vice versa so that if there is anything wrong, I can call straight away. There is also a vet near me in Armley.
“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: Hi, I’m Rach! I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and now caring for my English Bull Terrier, Brayley. I’ve also previously dog sat for owners while living in Blackpool and regularly look after cats for friends, usually visiting twice a day while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both indoor and outdoor cats, as well as dogs with very different personalities and needs. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to tailor each booking around your pet’s usual routine. This can include walks, feeding and refreshing water, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter trays and generally making sure they’re happy and settled while you’re away. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how they’re getting on. I work full-time, generally 8am–4pm, but I’m fortunate to have flexible working hours and regularly work from home. This gives me flexibility for daytime visits where my schedule allows, as well as good availability during evenings and weekends. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I’ll always treat them with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own. Every animal is different, so I’m happy to follow their individual routine and let them set the pace, whether they’re energetic and playful or happiest having some quiet company. I work full-time with flexible hours and regularly work from home, which means I’m able to offer walks and drop-in visits throughout the day where my schedule allows, as well as evenings and weekends. I always keep my availability up to date and will only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention to, so your pet will never feel like they’re being squeezed into a busy schedule. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs before every booking. Whether that’s sticking to feeding times, administering simple medication, using a harness, or avoiding busy walking routes, I’m happy to tailor my care. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
“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.”
“5 starts for Natalie. Very happy the way i found Oscar. I was a little bit stressed due to his health condition but everything I asked was done and Oscar was in a very good mood when he saw me. Natalie communicated very well during the leave. I definitely recommend Natalie. ☺️”
“Very pleased with Izzy looking after our fur babies while away ! One of our cats ,she's very scared of new people that vist .

And we are so pleased to come home and see them happy and relaxed ,happy to see us . I really recommend Izzy to anyone, she is great with pets ,professional and trustworthy. Thank you again Izzy !😊”
“Thomas is amazing with our puppy. He always follows our instructions and will check in if anything is unclear. From his updates our puppy looks like he is having the best time! Thank you Thomas ❤️”
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.
About: Growing up in the countryside surrounded by animals sparked a lifelong passion for pet care. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to trusted sitter for friends and family, fostered rescue cats while living abroad, and now share my life with our sweet dog, Barley. Now based in Leeds, I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine devotion to every walk, drop-in visit, and stay—treating your furry family members with the exact same love and attention as my own! As a teacher working three days a week, I have plenty of time at home to give your pets the attention, play, and care they deserve. My schedule offers great weekend flexibility—perfect if you're heading off on a staycation! Our family loves keeping active, and our own dog enjoys two to three walks a day, so you can rest assured your dog will be wonderfully exercised. Plus, my young son is a fellow animal lover who delights in "helping" out, meaning your furry family members will be showered with extra love and affection throughout their stay or visit. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether they stay with us or stay in the comfort of their own home. At our house, we have a fully secure garden with plenty of room to safely play and explore. Our dog, Barley, is remarkably quiet and gentle, making him a wonderful, calm companion for both dogs and cats. If you prefer care at your home, I am more than happy to pop by for drop-in visits to handle feeding, play sessions, cuddles, and plenty of quality company!

This was our second booking with Joanna and was just as impressed as the first time. Great communication both before and during the visits. We came home to very happy cats. Joanna even went above and beyond to try and save my poor neglected house plants! I would very much recommend booking Joanna to look after your pets.
Cornelia was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Nico and kept me updated throughout with lovely photos and videos, which was so reassuring while I was away. She was kind, attentive and clearly genuinely cared about him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cornelia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
We used Becca recently for the first time to look after our two cats during a ten day holiday. She was absolutely brilliant, keeping us updated every day with how they were and sending lots of photos. She even managed to get round our aloof girl, not an easy thing to do! We will definitely be asking Becca to cat sit again, thank you again for looking after Wilma and Mabel.
Olivia was amazing from the get go. She took the time to come over before to meet myself and Squid which was really nice. Squid wasn’t well socialised as a kitten so can be abit standoffish with strangers, but Olivia was patient and took the time to interact with her on her own terms, making her feel comfortable and safe. We really appreciated the daily picture updates and can’t thank Olivia enough for caring for her while we were away. I would happily have her care for Squid again.
We had Abbie look after Jasper for 4 visits. She came to meet him beforehand and was very professional, taking notes to make sure she didn’t forget anything. She gave Jasper very thorough report cards and the cutest photos. Would deffo book Abbie again in the future.
Tamsin was absolutely wonderful with Nova while we were away. She sent us detailed updates after every visit, complete with photos, so we never had to worry. Nova was clearly comfortable with her from the very first visit and became more affectionate over time, even napping right next to her. We previously used a cattery and the difference was night and day. Couldn’t recommend Tamsin more. We’ll definitely be rebooking!
Freya has been just wonderful, super friendly and accommodating, but also a great friend to our handsome boyo. He's never been left alone for more than half a day-ish but Freya helped to put us at ease over leaving him and also keep him happy, entertained, and thoroughly looked-after in our absence. The daily reports were comprehensive and Freya was lightning-fast to communicate whenever we had additional questions or requests. We will absolutely be back and honestly couldn't have hoped for better!
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.
Thank you Kirsty, a slightly different request, but its very reassuring to leave my Tortoise in safe hands. All duties done as requested and loads of updates and communication as this was the first time I'd used this service and was a little unsure how it all works.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Leeds pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
