“Adrienne left our two cats soooooo happy! I think they were actually sorry we came home. In all seriousness, I could not have asked for a more conscientious and caring person to check in on my cats. They loved her almost immediately. She’s our person from her on out.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been involved in animal rescue for the past 10 years. I currently foster with Mountain Pet Rescue and the Asheville Humane Society, and I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medications. Rescue work has taught me how to be patient with animals who are shy, anxious, energetic, or just need a little extra time and attention. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and really enjoy caring for them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like the little prince or princess they are...with lots of love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and care tailored to what makes them happiest. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have a lot of flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, and plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can easily adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks or triggers before caring for them. In my home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and a calm environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I never force interactions and am very comfortable giving shy or nervous animals the space they need to feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully. My years in rescue have made me especially attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so I’m always keeping an eye on how your pet is feeling. And of course, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furbaby is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.

About: I have a lot of experience building a relationship of trust with anxious rescues or fosters who have are scared of people, or who have had other rough starts in life. While I cannot dogsit dogs who are extremely aggressive towards people or other dogs, I can work with dogs who shut down, hide away, or struggle to trust humans after what they've been through. I can also administer pill or chewable medications safely. My other commitment currently is working as a short-story fiction writer, so I can spend most of if not the entire day looking after your pups. When I housesit and watch after your dog, the dog's usual routine becomes my routine. What's most important to me is that their normal is maintained to provide them with a sense of security. I ensure everything in your home is exactly as you left it when house sitting. I use all of my own dishes, take my personal trash home, and can wash any used sheets or towels so they are fresh upon your arrival. I keep a close eye on your pet, ensuring their water bowl is always fresh, their meals are on time, and they are as relaxed as can be. I will constantly provide photos, updates, and reports about their day. I can also perform other house chores like taking out the trash, and collecting mail every day.

To streamline the process, I invite you to schedule a meet and greet at your earliest convenience. I look forward to connecting with you soon. Sincerely, Gabriel Lopez.

About: I’ve been caring for all manner of animals my entire life! My mom was very keen on fostering and rehabilitating animals all throughout my childhood and I’ve continued to pursue this as an adult. I’ve done extensive work with dogs and cats. I absolutely adore both and I always carry around safe, ethical treats for positive reinforcement! We’ll go on walks/runs, play enriching games and do educational activities to keep their spirits high and their minds sharp. I’m happy to participate in any commands/trainings you’re currently teaching your pup. I can also do farm stays and care for any other animals you might have. I’ve done animal rehab for illness and injury on a large variety of animals and would be happy to chat more about that. Your pets are safe with me, but even better is they’ll have a blast! I look forward to meeting you and yours :) I make my own schedule so as long as you’re somewhat close to town I’m happy to help! I can do weekly care as well :) I know CPR for cats and dogs. I’m experienced in a variety of animal first aid and have had 100% success in all medical emergencies I’ve dealt with. If there are any changes to my schedule outside of my control you’ll be the first to know, although that almost never happens. I’m very timely, easy going, respectful and your pets are in great hands!

“Becca was extraordinary. She took exceptional care of my cats, she communicated beautifully, sent pictures of my special needs babies so I knew they were okay, spent extra time with my neediest boy. I wish I could give her a million stars because she was that good. I WILL hire her again to take care of everyone because she was so responsive and responsible that I know my kidlets are in terrific hands!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’m the kind of person who notices when a pet wants comfort, quiet, playtime, or just someone calm to sit with them. I especially love creating a peaceful, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, clean, dependable, and communicative. I know how vulnerable it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal with real patience, affection, and attention — not just as a job, but because I truly love being around them. I’m also available for overnight stays, house sitting, feeding, walks, companionship, bringing in mail, watering plants, and helping keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight care most weekdays and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and being in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

About: I don't have any dogs of my own but have cared for them growing up and for friends over the past 10 years or so. I am currently looking for a job, it'll be potentially part time but would like to continue this to help people and meet more animals. I have a fenced in yard and there are plenty of rooms in the house so my cats can be kept separate if its needed.

About: I’m an Asheville native who loves nature and animals deeply. I communicate well & efficiently. Working with animals fills me with so much joy. I happily work with animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, etc. You can rest assured your pets will receive the best care possible each time they are with me. I love being able to help out fellow humans with the awesome bonus of keeping your animals happy & healthy :) I am a mama to a young boy, who is also good with animals. Although, he is in school most of the time. I do not usually come out late in the evenings due to my son’s bedtime, but can make it work if you are located close by. During the day time I have a good bit of flexibility, which allows this job to fit in my lifestyle well. I am currently only offering services at the clients home - I prefer to meet prior so I can visibly see what I will need to do. If this is under shorter notice / a meet cannot occur, please either write or text me a message of any needs, concerns or details necessary to make it the best experience for your pets. You can fully trust that your pets will be happy, safe and well taken care of.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've looked after pets for friends and family whenever they needed a trusted sitter, and I currently live with both a dog and a cat. I helped train our black Lab from puppyhood and also cared for our previous Lab through his senior years, giving me experience with both energetic young dogs and older pets who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I just graduated high school and will be going to college in the fall. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure pets are comfortable, happy, and cared for is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. are for pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy, clean up after pets, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away. I always respect the owner's instructions and tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and personality.

Makenzy is AMAZING!!! I couldn’t be happier with the incredible care she gave to our senior cat while we were away. She’s has such a peaceful, calm, and kind presence which is exactly what our shy guy needs. She provided the sweetest daily updates (with photos) and I found myself being able to just miss him and not worry about him. Makenzy truly puts her heart into what she does in caring for our special family members, and I could see it. I was able to put all my trust in Makenzy, and I will absolutely book her again 🩷

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!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Leicester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Leicester is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 184 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:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
