“Absolutely fantastic - dealt with our high energy staffs with complete professionalism and humour. They were very happy to make a new friend. Thank you so much - will definitely book again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of cats and elderly dogs who require medication but also have a deep passion for all animals no matter how big or small. I myself own a cat, rabbits, reptiles, invertebrates and marine and fresh water fish tanks so I completely understand the wonderful quirks of these animals and how hard it is to find someone you can trust with knowledge for your pets when you go away. I want to give people an extra option when they’re going on holiday and peace of mind their animals are safe with someone who understand bio active tanks, RO water, GI Stasis etc Please note - days and time will depend on my 2 office days at work. When working from home I am also available for dog walks on my lunch hour I work 5 days a week with a minimum of 2 days in office. My office hours are 8am-4pm so on those days I am available 6-7:30 and after work 4:30pm onwards I am happy to pop in at 6am or after work hours when in office. On my home days, I can do before 8am, lunch time and after 4:30pm However you want or need me to care for your animals is exactly how I will do it. I understand some pets have a rigid routine whereas some can just go with the flow. I personally prefer a day by day list of what you would like doing as this is what I provide for people caring for my animals.
“Ivan is incredible it makes me so happy that my dogs love him, I know they are safe and happy whilst I’m away. It means the world to me! Ivan you are amazing thank you so much”
“Christel looked after our boys for 2 weeks and we had no worry whilst we were away, as we knew Christel would take great care of them and spend lots of time giving them attention. Thank you very much 😊”
“Sarah was fabulous. She kept us updated regularly and was consistent with her visits to our cat. We would highly recommend her and will be using her again when we need. Very trustworthy.”
About: Hi I am Kim and I have two British Shorthair cats myself. I like to think of myself as a cat mummy! I adore all animals and I have always grown up with pets during my childhood. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats and make sure they are all well cared for. I am reliable and trustworthy and happy to go the extra mile for your furry friend as I know how much they mean to you. I work full time as a teacher in Leeds but I am happy to fit pet care around this schedule. I also have lots of free time in the holidays too! I will make sure I follow all care guidelines/instructions and come and meet yourselves and pets beforehand so you know what to expect and check you are happy with everything. I can also send little update while you are away so you know your pet is in safe hands.
“Penny was brilliant with our 8 cats. She was thorough with her updates and made sure they had all they needed. We came home to happy boys. Would use Penny again for future visits.”
“We arranged for Carol to look after our 12 year old cat whilst we was out of the country. We felt that our cat would be more comfortable at home so we arranged for Carol to pop in twice a day for general care and to give Bingo some TLC. We had a couple of meetings beforehand and I was was instantly blown away by Carols professionalism, empathy and rapport with Bingo. While we were away Carol provided frequent detailed updates about Bingo with plenty of pictures and information. She went above and beyond and even bought him a toy! She had an instant connection with Bingo, which is surprising as he can be very aloof and standoffish with humans. We were completely at ease whilst on holiday knowing that our pet was being looked after by such a fantastic sitter. We would not hesitate to use Carol again and would highly recommend her to anyone who is after a sitter.”
“Frances took excellent care of our cat, Hadrian. She was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated with lots of photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear Hadrian was comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Frances to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”
“Shannon is great, I couldn't recommend her more! She took care of my cat for two weeks, like he was her own pet. Can you expect more from a sitter? :) She is communicative, punctual, reliable, kind and trustworthy. Her every day "reports" from drop-in visits contained everything you would want to know about how your pet is doing - their feel, mood, condition, and so on. Also, she always includes a lot of pictures of our cat, which was the main highlight for us. She's always willing to do that extra mile if you are in need, like add an extra bowl of water or reset an automatic cat feeder that isn't always working flawlessly. Or top it up with cat food. Definitely, I will book her again because I know that my cat is in good hands!”
“Liam was brilliant and looked after my cat Gus so well while I was away for a couple of nights. He sent lots of pictures and kept me in the loop with everything they got up to! I would absolutely recommend and will be looking to book with Liam again for my next trip in August.”
“Excellent service again. Nay is loving her new friend Kim. If you need someone who will work with you Kim’s your woman, I’m well aware my schedule is not for everyone but Kim makes me feel at ease and like nothing is too much trouble.”
About: I have owned (big) dogs all my life and have had a lot of experience around different breeds ranging from lahasa apso’s to Japanese akitas. Your dogs will be looked after by myself (Alex) and my partner Luke so they get double the love and attention. Myself and Luke are usually free from late Friday to Monday nights giving enough time for a long weekend away. We have the accessibility to take them on day trips for long walks. There may be cases where we can have longer boarding sittings throughout the year. We are free on evenings if you need your dog walking or for drop in visits. We have a good sized garden that’s completely fenced giving enough room for freedom and a large field at the back of our house. Dogs can be crated if needed.
“Erika looked after our cats again for the second time whilst we went away for 10 days. We had twice daily updates and pictures which was a massive reassurance, felt so confident knowing they were been well looked after. We came home to very happy and relaxed cats. Will happily use Erika again in the future x”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, I have owned many different breeds from chihuahuas to dogue de Bordeaux so I am experienced in small right up to XL breeds. I am also experienced in dogs that suffer with anxiety, dogs that aren’t friendly towards other dogs, and dogs that are on medication. Hello! I am a stay at home mum with a love for dogs, after loosing my dog in January I miss the company and dog walks, however don’t feel ready to get another dog of my own yet as it feels so soon after Roxy passing. Therefore I think this would be the perfect solution for me! I’m home most of the day with just a 30 minute school run twice a day to nip out to, other than that my attention can be all on your fur babies! I have an enclosed garden, I have a large downstairs living space for crates if needed, which also includes an integral garage which is a lot cooler for summer where my dog used to love spending time watching me in the kitchen from her ‘cool spot’ in the garage! I allow dogs on my furniture and they will have a full run of the house. If you would rather your dog stayed downstairs I also have a spare baby gate I can put up if needs be. I also live a 5 minute walk away from a local colliery which dogs love! There are busy routes for dogs that love to interact with other dogs, or quieter routes for the dogs that aren’t dog friendly or are a bit shy.
“Ellen was absolutely amazing with our dog and gave him loads of love. She kept us updated with regular photos and it really put our mind at ease having her look after him. Will definitely be booking again for the future.”
About: Dogs & cats have always been around in my life and I genuinely have a huge spot in my heart for animals. Growing up I loved looking after family & friends pets and exploring new places with them. Both my family and my partners' family have plenty of pets and we love being the favourite big sibling and giving them treats and lots of attention. Our families have lots of dogs of different breeds and we even have our own trained therapy dog Betty (who is Minnie’s best friend and auntie). I love spending my free time in their company and having the best bond with them. Hopefully, I can share that with your pet too! :) I have my own miniature dachshund, Minnie, who is an absolute bundle of joy. She is currently at doggy training school. She will always be with me, so as long as your pet is good with a very typical sausage dog, then I am the right fit for you. I’m currently working full-time, but I WFH so I’m always around for the pooch. I have plenty of breaks in my day to accommodate toilet breaks and walks to stretch their legs. I am the gal for any pet walking needs and drop-in visits to your home. I am a very organised person who loves a routine, so if your dog requires medication etc, I will be very punctual with feeding times etc. I can easily bring a crate and I can bring my pooch with me if you wish, as I know some dogs need other dogs company around humans. Alongside me, my partner loves animals too and will frequently ask to join me on dog walks. This definitely comes in handy for dealing with larger dogs and often helps when dealing with dogs that are more comfortable with male presence.
About: I have owned numerous dogs over the years and currently have 2 Labradors. I have taken care of my friends and families dogs when they go on holiday or if they are out for the day and need me to walk or feed their dogs I currently work part time and the time I’m not at work I spend at home or out and about with my 2 Labradors so your dog would just fit in with our daily adventures and routine I have a secure high fenced back garden which is accessed via French doors so your dog can come in and out as they wish. We have lovely off road walks around our area so plenty of adventuring for us to do. My dogs have the full run of my downstairs and are never left alone for longer than a couple of hours should I need to nip out.
About: I have plenty of experience with different animals grooming, meditation dispensing, general day to day walking and entertaining playing around with pets. I would be happy to continue any basic training you have started or would like me to start. I can do some extra activities while looking after your pet, like washing up mess made by your pet, put rubbish bins out and bring back in. Bring letters in if you are way on holidays etc. I have looked after pets both energetic who love walks and playing around and also pets that just love a cuddle and to chill. I work in the healthcare sector so I do have an online DBS if you would like any background checks information. I am flexible as I work in the community so have plenty of spare time to both be at home and also to do house calls. I have a large house and garden which is fenced and safe also I live in a semi rural area so plenty of walks to go on. I am a flexible worker with lots of spare time and would love the opportunity to look after your pets. I am available mostly at any time as my work is flexible. I would look after them as my own and follow any instructions given from owner of the pet I am looking after. I have a secure and fenced property and big house for the animal to explore if they come to my house.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wakefield on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 40 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Wakefield. About 88% of Wakefield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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.
