House Sitting in Leicester

“I have used Ann in the past for drop in dog walks. I recently went away for 6 nights and Ann stayed in my home with my dog Rosie. I couldn’t be more pleased with her services. I received daily updates that included pics of Rosie. I returned home to a happy, well cared for dog and my home was cleaner than when i left! I would definitely recommend Ann and will be using her services in the future. Thank you, Ann!”

“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our pup and two cats. She was punctual, communicative, and overall great to work with. I know our animals appreciated having her here while we were gone and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter while away!”

“Super duper highly recommend! We had our first overnight pet sitting experience with Eko and Sarah and they were fantastic. Super thorough, punctual, and responsive from the meet-and-greet through the end of the stay. I'd call on them again in a heartbeat and recommend them highly -- our pets co-sign this review 🐾🐾”

“I cannot sing enough praises for the amazing Tonya. She took such good care of my Stevie and sent me pictures on a regular basis. You will love her.”

About: With experience from my own pets, working at boarding facilities, and overnight pet-sitting, I have the experience needed to provide the best care possible. From insulin administration to walking cats- I have everything you need covered. Summer I am open indefinitely! I am a substitute teacher, so during these months I have all the time for your furry friends whether it is for a week, two days, or just pop-ins for bathroom and play relief while you are working and doing other things. Want a vacation but all the boarding facilities need six months advanced booking? Give me a chance, and I'll make your animals my main priority and give more one on one care than a kennel could. From pets to walks to playing or snuggles- your pet's anxiety will be low as possible knowing they won't be alone all day. I'll even turn on soothing music for your dogs or turn on the Cat TV channel on YouTube before my department- nothing is too ridiculous when it comes to our pet's comfort. In a clients home, I aim to strive for total cleanliness and total satisfaction from your pets. I love to tire out any high energy pets and slow it down for older pets. After your pet is satisfied and happy and I have cleaned any litter boxes or outside business, then I will know I have done my job.

“Kendel took great care of our pup! Ginny took to her right away, so we felt super comfortable leaving them together for the weekend. She sent updates and photos daily. Our home and our sweet pup were well cared for!”

Mary G.

“Caitlin was awesome! She was very detail oriented and provided great updates throughout the day with pictures. We would highly recommend her!”

“Logan is the best cat sitter I have hired and this was our 3rd in-house stay with him! Not only is he attentive to my socially needy cat, he keeps me informed of what's going on so I don't have to worry at all. He recently stayed in our house for a week while we were abroad. I felt very comfortable with him there. He always leaves the house very clean and Leo seems to love him. I am thrilled that we found Logan!”

“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”

About: I am a reliable dog sitter for friends and family. I owned 2 of my own dogs in the past, a boxer and cocker spaniel mix. I have a pretty flexible/varied schedule. Please send me a message and we can definitely work something out to fit the needs of your pet! Whichever directions or specifications you have for your pet I will always do my best to follow them! I do not offer home services at the moment.

About: My dogs are my kids and I’m extremely passionate about providing the best life I can for them. I will treat your pets with the same attention to detail and affection as I would my own. From birth I have been around animals of all kinds and am extremely comfortable with them. I have been around animals of various social levels and am more than comfortable adapting to your pet’s needs to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and safe. I have handled all different breeds, sizes and temperments. From the smallest (with the biggest personalities) to the largest couch potatoes, to the athletes and the shy ones I will provide your pet with care tailored to them. I have experience with senior dog care as well as training and socializing puppies (I am not a certified trainer, I have only trained my own over the years and worked along side multiple trainers). I am comfortable administering various medications and ongoing treatments. If you have specific questions regarding a situation or my experience please reach out to me as there are so many different health situations. My current dogs are Kaya (4 yr GSD) and Tallulah (6 month BMD). Kaya is a fantastic big sister showing her little sister the ropes but Tallulah is the typical 2nd child and loves to cause mischief. I currently work full time, however I do work from home part of the week and have variable availability for midday drop ins. Feel free to send me a message for last minute availability. I have set my area close to my home so more than likely I would be able to make it work! Whatever your pets routine is at home, I will do everything possible to keep it as close to routine as I can. If you have any requests of walks or socializing I am more than happy to accommodate! If your dog needs plenty of mental stimulation I have a plethora of party tricks I like to teach my dogs just for fun, such as ‘sit pretty’ ‘weave’ ‘middle’ ‘spin’ etc. :)

“Lila was absolutely amazing. My dogs take a while to get used to new people. They are rescues and require A LOT of patience. Lila provided that and my dogs love her. I feel comfort in knowing my pups are with her.”

Nicole M.

“Kayla has watched my home and two pups, twice. She is great! Always keeps us informed and send pics. We had a stress free vacation with Kayla watching our home and fur babies!”

Julie J.

“Rebecka took wonderful care of Benny. The updates were greatly appreciated, especially knowing he was eating, resting, and settling in well. It was very reassuring to see how comfortable he was with her. Highly recommend!”

Deepa R.

“Molly was great. Communication is amazing and really provided great care to our new puppy! Will definitely have her in mind next time we need a sitter.”

Andrew M.

“Elizabeth diid a great job. She sent daily photos and my dog needed medication due to an infection while we away and the Vet said her infection cleared up with no issues”

Charlie G.

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”

“We hired Mackenna to stay overnight with our cats and she was great! Very communicative, fast to respond, sent lots of pics, and took great care of our pets and the place.”

“It’s difficult for me to find the words for this review. While we were away one of our dogs had a medical emergency. Because of Bill’s dedication, careful monitoring, and experience I was able to get home in time to say goodbye to my boy. Without Bill and his care for our fur babies I would not have made it home in time and my boy would have been in prolonged pain and stress. As well as sound decision making he then made sure our other dog was emotionally supported by spending an extended amount of time with her until we could get home. Bill remained in constant communication with us, our emergency contact, and the medical staff. His exceptional communication skills helped us orient ourselves to the seriousness and make informed decisions from an ocean away. He went well above and beyond his job description of being a dog sitter and was just an incredible person and support. Bill is the standard for pet care and is the best option for owners who deeply value their pets.”

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.
