“Makenzy did a fantastic job taking care of my boys. She got great photos and I could tell she really cared about them and loved them. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“This was our first time booking with Lyndsi and it was a great experience! I loved reading her synopsis of each drop in visit and looking at the photos. She was great with communication and I could tell that she really cared about my pups and their wellbeing. Will definitely be using Lyndsi in the future.”
“Isabel was so good with my senior girl, Smokey! I had a sitter cancel last minute and Isabel stepped in to look after my girl. She sent plenty of pictures of Smokey having fun and rolling around outside. I felt at ease even when booking last minute. Thank you, Isabel!”
“Kara was wonderful! She took great care of our cat while we were away. Her report cards were thorough and she sent plenty of pictures too. Kara was super flexible and was able to add on dates at the last minute and was willing to unexpectedly administer eye drops daily (no easy feat!). We’d love to use Kara in the future!”

“Stephanie is the greatest! She was very accommodating to my schedule, before even taking care of our Titan (when meeting Titan for the first time and grabbing my keys). Her updates were thorough, timely and enjoyable to receive. I recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to leave their pup in good hands.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Leicester
Makenzy is wonderful with my little cat. She is very conscientious and caring. I can rely on her to keep my pet happy and safe. She is very thoughtful about letting me know how he’s doing. Her descriptions are delightful. I can be away and know everything at home is just fine. I really appreciate her!
They did a great job looking after my two cats. They were diligent and communicative. My cats eat raw food and they did a great job managing their dietary needs. They went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. I was able to really relax and enjoy my trip knowing my cats were in good hands. I am deeply appreciative and would highly recommend them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Leicester on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 577 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.

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.
