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
“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.”
“What a lovely, calm, quietly confident person Marion is! She picked up on my dog Alfie's need for her to set her boundaries with him and within the hour he was completely responsive to her, even with all the excitement! Will definitely request Marion's time again.”
“Had to ask Artur for really last minute help and he was so accommodating. Always happy with the care he gives my girls. Gives really detailed updates which I really appreciate.”

“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: 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 have taken care of both cats & dogs with many different needs and temperaments. Caring for both puppies requiring continued training or attention, and more senior dogs needing patience and unique requirements. Experienced in providing regular oral medicines as my dog had epilepsy for many years and quick to comfort through fits or seizures I love making pets feel safe and happy while apart from their beloved owners. Your pets comfort is my priority and I am flexible in tailoring to yours/your pets needs🥰 I work from home and on flexible hours, I am able to check up on pets, dog walks and provide pet day care or sitting. Also available evenings and weekends to give your pets lots of love and attention. I live in a city centre apartments with 2 very chilled out cats - so I would need your pet to be comfortable with cats. My apartment is a pet safe environment with open space to roam and play. I can monitor pets closely and never leave them unattended. I will carefully understand your pets needs beforehand to ensure a happy and comfortable service for your pet. I will provide photo updates for peace of mind to know your pets are happy :) I have an enclosed outside space for toilet trips.
“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.”
About: I love dogs because they bring so much joy, loyalty, and companionship into my life. Their unconditional love and playful energy make every day brighter, and I truly enjoy the bond that forms between a person and their dog. Growing up with dogs my whole life has given me a deep appreciation for their unique personalities and the comfort they provide. I've also gained a lot of experience over the years when it comes to walking, bathing, and looking after dogs. Having been around them for as long as I can remember, I’ve learned how to meet their needs and make sure they’re happy and healthy. Whether it’s long walks, grooming, or just spending quality time together, I feel confident in caring for dogs and making sure they feel loved and well-cared for. I currently work nights so I'm fully available throughout the day and the weekends, so I'm more than happy for dog walks during the day or having cats/dogs stay as well. My home is very safe has a back garden thats fenced and my room/ Living room is spacious and my roommates also love animals and have plenty of animals in their homes. We currently have no pets.
“Pooja is so sweet! She was the perfect person to take care of our fur baby. She sent us lots of pictures and a detailed update. She even came and met him beforehand so they could meet first. Definitely will ask Pooja back!”
About: I have experience with different breeds of dog after sitting/boarding for friends and family as well as on here. I live with my fiancé who is also able to help and we live in a pet friendly apartment complex in the city centre. We also have a 2.5 year old mini sausage dog (male) who is super gentle and a great playmate, therefore have lots of toys and comfy beds for the pooches to sleep in. He can be a bit wary at first so it would be great to do a meet&greet first! We would of course look after yours as well as we would our own. We usually take our sausage on a short walk first thing, again after lunchtime and before dinner but happy to adjust to any specific needs. We can provide attention and cuddles, walks and toilet breaks as long and often as the pooch needs, can also provide many toys and stimulation for them.

I am a home based employee, your pet will be with me in the flat and I will arrange my spare working hours to bring them out for toilet and regular walk.

About: Hi my name’s Mark, I’m absolutely in love with nature and the animals that live in it. I did zoology at universary and have had experience with taking care of pets in the uk and abroad. While living in Cambodia on an island, I helped out with charities who came over to do regular check ups on stray beach dogs which was very fun to help with! In London I had 2 snakes but unfortunately was not able to bring them with me when I relocated to Leeds. I love pets and can’t get enough of interacting with pets that I run into on my normal day job and in the park! There is nothing you can’t ask me to do, even if it’s to help with general tasks around the house, I’m happy to help with anything!

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Leeds
Just returned from a short break to a very happy cat! Ruth visited each day to feed, water, clean tray and fuss over our cat whilst away. I'm so pleased I chose to have a cat sitter, using a cattery is not for us anymore as it stresses our cat too much. Very pleased I found Ruth, highly recommend her and will be my first contact when I need a sitter again. Thanks Ruth xx
I had a wonderful experience with Tamsin. She was very punctual and provided daily reports plenty of details with lots of photos. Everything went very well and my cats loved her as pet sitter. Tamsin managed to interact with Siri. Siri is avery shy cat who takes weeks or even months to approach someone outside her daily circle. I highly recommend Tamsin services.
Joanna is a great cat sitter! I really appreciate how well she looks after Katja when I'm away, giving her lots of fuss and cuddles. Katja can be a bit of a grump but she clearly loves Joanna! She also sends a photo and message every day. Thanks for doing such a great job again!
Hattie was excellent and I couldn't have asked for anything more! So much care and attention not only for my pet but also my home and making sure everything was communicated to me :) This was my first time using Rover & pet sitter and have had the most positive experience and without a doubt would like to book in with Hattie again.
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 :)

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.
