“We have an eldery cat that needs a lot of tlc and maintenance. Tina did an excellent job of taking care of him and a few small aquarium pets for a week while we were away she sent us daily updates and went above and beyond for him. It was a great stress relief knowing he was being well taken care of. We are very appreciative of her and would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services and we will most certainly hire her again when the need arises.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered

“It was great having Kaylee look after our cats while we were out of town. We had special requirements as we have two young kitties who were needed to keep separated in a different part of the house from an older cat as the kittens had not yet been fully vaccinated. The kittens got into mischief and made a mess. Kaylee cleaned it up. She vacuumed up stray cat litter too. The older cat is an indoor/outdoor cat who loves to be outside during warmer months and can be very demanding requesting to go out. No escape artists were witnessed. :-) I would not hesitate in book her again when needs arise.”

“We are so lucky to have found Paulette! One of our boys got sick the night before a vacation, we felt at ease going due to Paulette’s adaptability to the situation and empathy. She updated us on the boys everyday and worked hard to make sure they had the care they needed. Both of our cats seemed very relaxed and happy when we returned! Thank you, Paulette!!”

About: Being a cat mom myself who loves to travel, I get the struggle of not wanting to stress your fur babies out by bringing them to a boarding center. I myself struggled with people I could trust to watch my babies. I am a certified cat mom, with experience owning 3 cats of my own as well as having the lovely opportunity to foster bottle fed kittens. I also have experience working in cat shelters and dog boarding facilities. I am extremely educated on all things cat, knowing what is toxic for them to consume to abnormal cat behavior and knowing the signs to potential kitty illnesses, your kitty will be in good hands with me! I work 9-5 so I’m free just about anytime else. I don’t usually go away for major holidays so I am able to drop in on Christmas and Thanksgiving. My friends always say they’d love to come back as one of my cats when they die. My cats are treated like kings! The home is theirs for the most part, I’m educated in cat behavior as in I give them space when needed and provide everything they need to thrive their little kitty lives. Cat trees all around and cat grass in abundance, I would extend this same amount of care to all cats.

About: I've had pets my whole life, from dogs and cats to rats and mice. I used to volunteer at my local shelter, and I've worked with dogs, cats, and small animals. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or other unique requirements, I am happy to work with you to accommodate them. The health, safety, and happiness of your pet is my primary concern, and I always keep an open line of communication between myself and my clients to ensure everyone's safety and peace of mind. I also understand that sometimes plans change, and am willing to work with you if our scheduled times become inconvenient. Ultimately, I want what's best for you and your pet. I have a full time, remote job from Monday - Friday. I am able to work from alternate locations, and have access to reliable transportation. I will always confirm any special accommodations or needs before beginning. Following owner instruction is the name of my game. You know your pet(s) better than I do, after all. I am respectful of your home and always clean up after myself/the animal(s), and maintain an open line of communication at all times. I will never lie or try to cover up a mistake I've made - I truly believe that honesty is the best policy and I take your trust in me very seriously.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and have taken care of them since I was old enough. I’ve also worked on many farms with a wide array of animals, so I am qualified to watch your furry friend! :-) I am home before my next job starts, so I would be excited to watch a pet while I stay home most of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a sweet 3 year old dog who gets along well with other dogs. I have a doggy door and frequently let my dog just roam around the backyard playing with his toys. Happy to chat about what works best for you for your pet!

About: My name is Erin. I have loved animals from birth. I am a horseback riding instructor, I live on a farm with my two horses, my parents, and our dog Petey. I am a practicing natural horseman and dog trainer. I have a private in law apartment, a five acre back yard, a fenced in dog run. While watching your dog I will treat them like my own. A typical day at the farm starts at five AM when we feed and turn out the horses. Petey the puppy gets his breakfast and morning constitutional. I'll take Petey down to the barn with me while I muck the barn out and I let him loose in the fenced dog run behind the barn. After morning chores its training time for everyone! The horses get excercised, Petey does his drills, and everyone gets lunch! In the afternoon typically I"ll take Petey for a walk in the trails right down the street. Then around four PM the horses are turned in for the night and everyone gets dinner! While staying at my house, dogs will have the opportunity to go for hikes in peppercorn state park, interact with horses and other dogs (if you so choose), play fetch and run free in my fenced in dog run. I am not able to watch dogs who are not up to date on vaccinations, are not house broken, or are under eight months of age. Im working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! Im available for drop ins, dog walking (or cat ;)) and house sitting services with frequent picture status updates. I love being outside and my last dog was 120lb Im comfortable with tiny to mighty! I’ll treat your animals like mine.. after owning a variety of animals most of my life I understand that communication, sticking to your pets routine and frequent updates are vital as well as being able to respond quickly in any issues. I love walking dogs and am an expert cat scratcher

“Nicole was extremely reliable and professional and I will definitely reach out to her again next time I need cat sitter. My elderly cat is sweet, but also a bit moody at times, and Nicole did an amazing job at helping my cat naturally come out of her shell and feel safe. The photo updates Nicole sent were also great and really set my mind at ease.”

About: I’ve cared for all sorts of pets ever since I was young. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, farm animals..pets are family and should be cared for as such! I love being around furry friends and have experience caring for all ages. I am comfortable administering medication with dogs and cats. I currently have an open schedule as I am transitioning in careers. I do prefer a little notice so I can make sure I’m fully available. Pets are part of the family and are treated as such. I would get details on each pet to ensure I’m caring for them the way they normally are.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! With over 15 years of hands-on animal care experience, including five years as a veterinary assistant and 12 years at an equestrian facility, I have cared for animals of many different species, sizes, and temperaments. I have also had my own pets at home over the years, which has deepened my understanding of the love, responsibility, and commitment that come with caring for animals. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, safety, and individualized care. I am comfortable handling animals in a variety of settings and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine and needs. I treat every animal with kindness and respect and look forward to providing your pet with the same attentive, reliable care. 15+ Years of Compassionate, Reliable Animal Care I work remotely, which gives me flexibility in my daily schedule and allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Your pet’s safety and the care of your home are my top priorities. I take pride in being organized, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment while following your pet’s established routines and care instructions. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while treating your home and pets with the same respect and attention I would my own.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was ten years old and adopted cats for the first time. I'll make sure your dogs are give all that they need, including all the love in the world! As I am working only part-time, I have plenty of time to care for your pets, from daily walks to overnight stays! You don't even have to drive to me; I'll come to you to make sure everything is taken care of! I am frequently active and have a flat backyard where dogs can play, and I am just one minute away from a pond which can serve as the perfect venue for a long, hearty walk! Also, my home has enough space for a dog bed and a crate, if provided, with enough space left over to play tug-of-war in the living room.

About: I have been drawn to the world of animals since I was a young girl. I've always been the type of person to move a spider back outside. That's why I'm a perfect fit for you and your fuzzy family! Not only will you receive reliable, trustworthy care for your pets, but you also get the comfort of routine, consistency and dependability. I have 4 years of experience working with dog and cats of any size and kind. It is truly my passion as animals have guided me to becoming who I am today. If you're looking for help with a strict medication schedule, potty breaks, dietary restrictions, allergens then I'm your gal! I am very thorough with any care I provide through communication and observing any odd/new behaviors. I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in's and group hiking activities. I am currently working towards becoming a professional dog trainer and obtaining my Pet CPR certification. I believe having a strong relationship with the pets I care for is incredibly important. I am currently working part-time. I am going to school for my Professional Dog Training certificate. My goal is to eventually use word of mouth and networking skills to be able to care for animals full-time until my classes are done. I have 2 cats and a dog as well as 2 young boys. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. Shes very outgoing, bubbly and has the best friendly personality. I can bring her with me for socialization, or if you have a solo preferred pup she can stay home! We are very active, always going on hikes or walks around the neighborhood.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Leicester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Leicester is $25 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,325 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Leicester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 boxes. 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 socialization 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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leicester. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
