“Alison was wonderful to work with. She was friendly and kind. She sent lots of pictures of our pets. We felt relieved knowing our pets were in such capable hands. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for much of my life, and am experienced with dogs less than 10lbs, all the way up to 100+lbs! I am familiar with caring for animals with disabilities and medical needs, as well as reactive dogs and those with behavioral issues. As long as I know how best to care for an animal, I am more than happy to meet whatever needs they have to ensure a safe and happy experience. I am always happy to come by to keep your pet company, indoors and out! I am available at varied times of day, so I am happy to provide care whenever you need! I ensure that I know the expectations for a pet beforehand, so that I can care for them how their owner wants. I am happy to cuddle your dog all night, or keep them company while in their crate!
“We appreciate you both so much! We were stressed because we had a cancellation last minute but we are so glad it worked out. Thank you for everything! We will be booking again!!”

“Erica was so wonderful with our needy kitty. She gave her lots of attention during her drop-in visits. Our cat wasn’t the normal basket case when we arrived home after a long weekend away. Highly recommend Erica for drop-in cat sitting needs.”


“Thank you for always taking such good care of Remi, I always know she’s in good hands with both of you and it’s so nice not to worry about her when I’m out of town.”


About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for over a decade. I can promise both reliable care and excellent communication while watching your pet. I am a stay at home Mom so my schedule for pet sitting is very flexible. I can visit as often as your pet needs. Pets will be fed, cuddled, and messes will always be cleaned. My hope is that your pet will continue to feel right at home even with their owner gone.
About: Hi! I'm excited to start offering pet sitting and walking services. I’ve always had a passion for dogs and animals of all kinds, and I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with high-energy dogs, walks, playtime, feeding routines, and lots of cuddles. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you feel comfortable and updated while you're away! With two dogs of my own, I know how important it is to find the right care. I will work my schedule around yours to provide the best care and normal routine for your furry friend! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I will also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving reliable and loving care.
“Sara was wonderful! My dogs loved her and she even went out of her way to bring them carrots as treats (due to allergies). She came on time and sent me updates that put my mind at ease. I will definitely be reaching out to her again 💕🐾”


About: I’m happy to help easy any anxieties regarding leaving your pets! I am incredibly responsible and have a genuine love for all pets. I have years of experience taking care of pets as well as raising my own. I am new to the Rover site but hope you will take a chance on me, I promise you & your pet will not be disappointed! I am currently a stay at home mom and have a schedule that can be easily moved around. I am happy to work with whatever needs you have concerning checking on your pets and taking them out. I will be watching and caring for pets in your own space. I am happy to travel and take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home.
About: I have grown up my entire life with cats and dogs- and have raised them at all ages. I share a genuine love for animals! I am a full time student at Umass Boston and work with undergrad students at the school as well -I am only required to be in Boston on Tuesdays / Wednesday. I have my pre-practicum which requires for me to be at the HS on Mondays until 1:43pm. I’m free after then, and the other days of the week. I enjoy going on long walks at all times of the day, so having a companion join me would be awesome! I have a fenced in yard which allows for my sweet 11yr old fur baby named Bella who never fails to make me smile run around. She is very kind with other dogs. Oftentimes we take her to the dog park, so I’d be more than happy to bring your pet as well. Bella is the happiest girl at home, and I’d ensure your fur baby will be treated just the same!
About: I had a 13 year old Labrador Retriever and take care of our 16 year old mutt and 16 year old Angora cat. I've had my pet sitting business almost 3 years and want all my clients's pets to feel like their owners never left the house. My wife works but I'm available to take care of your pets and make sure I'm able to pick up my kids on time at 3 pm. I do in client home pet sitting. I can obtain your house key, your garage code or any secure means you're comfortable with to take care of your pets safely and timely.
“Will was absolutely amazing with my cat Monkey. He checked in each day and took pictures to send me. My cat felt very comfortable with Will. I could tell monkey enjoyed his company so much that I’ve already booked Will for another appt in a few weeks. Thanks Will!”


About: Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! You clicked on THE absolute best pet-sitter you will ever find. My name is Amy, and I LOVE ANIMALS. I've had pets since childhood; dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, bunnies, fish, ferrets, and turtles. Most of my pets are rescued. I'm a great dog walker- I will take your dog for a lengthy walk, (or a slow stroll for my older clients) and I will provide him/her with attention, love, and affection. According to their needs, I can sit with your pet to offer comfort and companionship, or romp around on the floor or in the yard for exercise and stimulation. My visits can be tailored to your requests. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and committed. Your pet's health and safety come first. I will take pictures during my visits (or videos, if you'd like) so you know your pet is being cared for. If you have a cat, I will bring toys for stimulating activity, or simply sit with him/her and offer a comforting presence. I also care for gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, birds, and turtles. If you have fish, I will feed them, and give them attention. (Yes, I connect with fish.) I understand animals. I relate to them. I'm intuitive to their needs. And of course, I have great references. There is no better pet-sitter on the planet than me. I look forward to meeting you and your precious family member! I'm currently available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can be flexible in the morning, afternoon, or early evening hours. If you need more than one visit per day, that can be arranged as well. I will show up with great energy, a calming presence, and toys to play with (according to your pet's needs.) I'm not like other pet sitters- I really spend TIME with your pets. I'm intuitive and understand their needs. For younger pets, I offer lots of play and exercise- stimulation is important! I'm physically fit and would be happy to walk your dog if requested. After the walk, I will sit with him/her and offer my affection and attention. I will refresh their water bowl, feed them, (if requested) offer a treat, (if requested) brush them, play with them, or simply sit with them and be a calming presence in their day. It all depends on your pet's needs. I cater to their behavior and energy. If you have other pets in your home (gerbils, fish, turtles, bunnies, birds, etc) I would consider caring for them during your vacations. All to be discussed and negotiated, of course. As you can see from my profile, I'm very accommodating and flexible, and I offer a wide range of services. For overnight visits, my rate reflects a time frame from 8pm-7am. If you need me to do day visits as well, please explain in the messaging section when you contact me.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with years of pet sitting for friends and family, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and am now in veterinary school. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I have experience with medication administration, animal handling, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, but my biggest priority is making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I will be completing an internship, but I will be available on weekends for pet sitting. I also have availability in the evenings and on weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits, making it easy to provide consistent care around my schedule. For cat care, I am able to provide boarding in my home where I ensure a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. For dogs, I provide care in the client’s home, where I follow all instructions closely and respect the home as if it were my own. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel secure and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Leicester on Rover is $24.61 per visit (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 1,318 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leicester. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 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.
