About: Hi Everyone, I’m Sophie! Me and my family adopted my dog Ellie all the way back in 2013 from a rescue shelter in Greece and she will be turning 13 next June, as well as this over the years I have taken care of family friends pets for example taking them for walks and staying overnight in the house or even just popping in to make sure that they’re okay, although still being young at 21 years old, i’ve been surrounded by dogs by entire life, I used to attend puppy classes when Ellie was younger, helping train her up with recall and general behaviour, as well as this i would consider myself knowledgeable in the emotional side of dogs, if they’re feeling down or anxious I have taught myself by experience and research how I can help, I am currently in the process of looking into completing a level 2 qualification linked to dogs needs I love to have fun on walks, going to see new places with your pooch, playing fetch with there ball or even just enjoying a brisk stroll :) I am a university student however I am only in university 2 to 3 days a week being off Mondays and Tuesdays and having availability all weekend but even in the days that I am there I am free morning times and most days apart from that available after 3 pm However for plans such as check ins for your pet I am available any day of the week to do that in the mornings, please just let me know what your arrangements are and i can work around them For overnight care, I am also available any day of the week, my only thing to note is that a few days a week I would have to leave your residence early after the following day for university, This would only be on Thursdays and Fridays, so if that’s the case it may be important to see if somebody else can pop in for them in that time gap which is normally around 12-3 pm But the rest of the days, and also holidays such as easter, I would be able to stay as long as required Your dog is my first priority! When taking care of pets in their owners home i’d like to make sure that it feels just like their owner never left, by knowing the dogs needs and what they require as I know a lot of dogs can get very anxious when their owners are away, if they feel comfortable sleeping on the bed with me then I’m perfectly happy for that and any specific place that they would want to go outside of the house. I’m happy to attend to. Before agreeing to pet sitting I am happy to come over and view the house to make sure you think id be a good fit for your dog and that they feel comfortable being in the house with me, I think its important to make sure that we bond well together to put your mind at ease
“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.”

“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’ve had had dogs all my life, (all breed sizes). I used to take care of my friends dogs and cats when they were on holidays since I can remember. I even volunteered to pet sit a neighbor’s dog when I was 5, (I basically forced him to lend me his dog because I used to love him and I didn’t have one). My last dog was a golden retriever, I have experience with her arthritis and I did massages and therapy for her. I have taken care of multiple dogs at a time and I don't mind sharing the bed or letting them sleep wherever they need. I’m currently in my holiday break with no plans to travel, so I am in my house 24/7. I have a park next to my house and I live in a convenient distance to the bus and train station in case you are looking to drop them on your way there. I can fit my schedule around any need, if they are more comfortable indoor I can also make activities with treats or frozen foods to stimulate them. Depending on your needs. I am fllexible with long walks, or multiple short walks. I can prepare activities and games for them to stay active inside as well, like frozen fruit or hiding treats around the house. I can brush their hair and teeth. Anything that you may need to pamper them and have an easy time while being away from you. I am not an official trainer but I've trained my own dogs always for potty and the casual paw and sit tricks. I am also available for phone calls 24/7.
“Jade has done a few drop ins for my puppy DJ. She has been flexible, reliable and just fabulous with him! Obviously a dog person and just love the daily updates. So thankful to Jade, I trust her to take good care of of my dog.”
“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”
“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 !😊”
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
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 grown up with cats and dogs, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for friends and families pets whilst they’ve been away so their pets could be at home. My first part-time job was at a veterinary practice, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals. I genuinely love spending time with pets and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently between jobs so have plenty of time to care and play with pets! Therefore my schedule is very flexible for pet sitting and dog walking. I want to try and replicate a pet owners routine as much as possible to keep the pets comfortable and happy. I enjoy long walks and playing games as well as cuddling up to the pets in the evening!
“As usual Justyna gave lots of updates and made us feel confident Tinker was being well looked after. She is reliable and was able to help us out last minute when we had a change of plans!”
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!
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.
About: I have cats myself, as well as regularly feeding and caring for friends and neighbours cats. I love caring for cats and their different personalities and quirks. 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.
“Rebecca came over for a meet and greet before sitting with my cat Lenny. She’s warm and thoughtful and seems like she will be a great sitter. Looking forward to her babysitting Lenny soon.”

Zainab is an excellent sitter! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services. She is a really lovely person, chatty and friendly with a natural affinity towards animals. Zainab looked after my 2 cats while we were away for 9 nights and gave great info on the visit feedback and photos too so we knew our pets were in safe hands. She left our house exactly as she found it and we would definitely rebook her in the future. A gem of a sitter 💎
Ruth was amazing! We met initially to meet and greet our cat and we discussed any needs and habits our cat may have. We felt instantly at ease after meeting Ruth as we’ve never used this type of service before. Whilst away we were provided with detailed updates and images every day which gave us great peace of mind. On our return our cat was happy, relaxed and most importantly well taken care of. The house was spotless too and any bowls were cleaned and tidied too. We will definitely use Ruth again in the future. We highly recommend. Thank you.
Tamsin provided me with wonderfully detailed report cards and action shots of my girl whilst I was away, which really helped settle my nerves. Made me miss her all the more though! I'm grateful she was in such good hands during Tamsin's visits. Have already booked again, and know Joni will be pleased to see you in future! ⭐️🐾
Yan was fantastic, she really cared for my cat Leo, recently he had a heart complication and she made sure he took his medication and kept a clean environment for him, she sent me daily photos which showed him at his happiest and relaxed, even showed a great deal of care towards him, she even wrote a note each day about how he was behaving and feeling. We were gone for two weeks and I’m happy I chose her to look after him in that time. Will book her again the next time we’re away! 😁👌
Becca was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Banana. We requested her at fairly short notice and she was available and very accommodating in meeting Banana and collecting the house key. Banana was very content during our weekend away and Becca was great at sending updates. Would recommend Becca and will definitely be asking again!
Cody was super friendly and very responsive. Pepsi is quite a large and energetic dog and Cody had no problems looking after her and giving her the attention that she wanted. I will 100% be using her again for any sitting needs I have and I would highly recommend that anybody else uses her in the future :)
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
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.
