“Ann has helped me with my two kitties on 3 occasions now, and she is GREAT! She's excellent at keeping me posted on when she will arrive and then let's me know when she leaves after feeding them and cleaning out their litter pan. I have held back in the past on taking trips here and there but I now feel very comfortable that my boys will be well taken care of by Ann when I'm away. Thanks, Ann!!”
“Kayla did a fantastic job, she met Zesus before the scheduled sitting. Provided a few amazing pictures while I was away. And went above and being when something came up. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Eko and Sarah were great! Our cat is very high energy so we needed someone to wear him out, and they did! He had a great time. They gave us plenty of updates so we always knew what was happening, and they took some great photos 😊 We really appreciated their communication and attentiveness.”
“Thank you Gabriela! Charlie & Frank were well taken care of while we were away. We appreciate that we can count on you to show up and provide caring and attention :) . You have been so helpful”
“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!”
“As my first experience with April caring for Nova, I am already at ease. I am very particular about my pup and I can already tell I’ve lucked out with April. Thank you! 💜🐾”
“We have difficult dogs and Becca was amazing! I loved that she updated us with pictures and messages from each visit so we knew how everything was going while we were away. Thanks Becca!”
“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”
“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle went above and beyond during her drop-ins, not just making sure my fur babies were fed and spoiled for atrention, but also helping me out with situations in the apartment where I was not there to handle it on my own. Thank you so much!!”
“Shea and Damien are amazing. Very conscientious, communicative, and responsible. I never have any concerns or worries when I know they are caring for our three dogs. Our dogs, in turn, are very comfortable and excited when they see them so I know that they are happy and well cared for when we are away.”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Leicester on Rover is $24.61 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
