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
“Justyna was amazing with our dog, very professional and easy going. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking from us and everything went so smoothly. Will definitely be booking in with her again! Thanks so much Justyna.”
“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: 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.

About: I’m an incredibly attentive and fun loving dog sitter who has looked after dogs for all my life. I am great with all sorts of dogs, but particularly towards anxious dogs as I’ve always owned more sensitive animals. I am reliable, I have sharp time management and communication skills, and will do my upmost to keep your dog happy and relaxed under my care! At the moment I am a student, so I have ample time for your dog and their doggy needs! I can be an early riser or a night owl, whatever is required to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. I have plenty of toys and treats to bring with me to make sure your dog is as entertained as possible! I am also perfectly happy giving a more anxious or elderly baby their well deserved space. I am confident in crating dogs, giving medication and any other needs or routines your dog may require.

As well as being a cat person, I also love dogs! I have cared for dogs of all sizes, including overnight. I’m available to house sit on weekends and to do drop in visits during the week. Caring for your pet will be my priority. I will treat your pets as I’d treat my own, which is what I’d always want in a pet sitter. I am happy to administer medication if needed (I have experience with this due to my own elderly cats), and I will always put the safety of your pets first.
“Artur was fantastic with Zara. He’s calm, reliable, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Communication was excellent throughout, and Zara was relaxed and happy after her drop-in visits and walks. I felt completely confident leaving her in his care.”
About: Hi. I’m a professional, qualified actuary based here in Leeds city centre. I have experience dog sitting for a range of dogs (including senior citizens). I’m hoping to build relationships with a few local dogs (and their owners!) for sitting and walking services. I’m located close to Leeds train station and typically head along the canals for walks. I work full time although my work is flexible with when and where I work meaning I can typically adapt my schedule to your needs. I’m very patient and I have cared for nervous dogs in the past so I’m used to quickly building trust with them. I enjoy walks around Leeds city centre or further afield in Yorkshire on the weekend. I live with my partner who is equally caring and loving of dogs.
About: I’ve loved dogs since a very young age, but never had the chance to own one due to family or living arrangements! Their energy and affection is always something that brightens my day and I’ll even cross the street just to say hello to one! I’ve dog sat and walked many times before with glowing reviews and happy customers 😁 I created my own business at 17-18 years old to walk and sit dogs, but since then university, work and moving house has gotten in the way! I’m very comfortable and approachable with any breed, and I’m always willing to listen to any advice you want to give me. I will never pretend to know everything and I love to learn! If I sound like a good match for your dog or cat, please get in touch! I work from home but have 2 days off a week where I am free as a bird and eager to see as many furry faces as I can! I am a gentle and understanding person who is happy to match any energy or temperament I come across. Whether a pet desires intense interaction and attention or just a friendly face to help them out at a distance, I am happy to oblige.

Cornelia did a great job of looking after my cat. She was able to visit in advance so that they could get to know each other, and they got on very well. Communications was terrific - Cornelia sent me lots of photos so that I knew that everything was going well.
Emily did such a lovely job looking after our two cats while we were away. She was really easy and quick to communicate with to book and arrange dates, and managed to coax our shy cats out to play and say hello. She sent lots of photos and updated us at every visit. We would absolutely recommend Emily, and will be rebooking, thanks Emily!
We booked Natasha to look after our kitties for a week and she was fantastic! She sent us updates with every visit along with photos of our boys. She respected our home and we felt the cats were safe with her. Definitely will use Natasha's service again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog or cat sitter :)
Hazal was great looking after our little cat! She was great at keeping in touch to give us updates and keep our minds at ease. We got lots of pictures and videos of them playing - we came home to a very happy cat. Would recommend to anyone needing a cat sitter while they’re away.
Olivia was brilliant with our cat Timmy. He follows a specific diet plan which Olivia thoroughly followed. Olivia took photos after each visit which was lovely to see timmy interacting and being very comfortable around her. Olivia kept the litter tray and surroundings clean, thank you very much Olivia. Highly recommend and would 100% rebook!
Jess did a drop in for our boy and could not recommend her more! Simba is reactive and can be slightly nervous around new people but Jess was brilliant with him, kept me fully up to date and he seemed very chilled and happy with her, we’ll definitely be booking again!

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.
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.
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.
