Dog Sitting Leicester

About: I was an on-the-job trained vet tech for 6 years and loved every minute of it! I ended up transitioning to the human medicine world, and have been in the ER almost 11 years. From axolotls to parrots, I have had all kinds of experience with pet-keeping! Animals will always be my passion 🐾🩷 I work second shift at the ER, so my schedule is very sporadic! I’m pretty flexible on my days off though. On days I work, I’m happy to come pet sit before or after my shift. I have a fenced in yard, two sweet dogs and 3 friendly cats that would be around! I’m happy to kennel or keep pets separated if needed though.

“Wesley did great with my pups doing their drop ins this week. He sent good pictures and updates. I hope to work with him again!”

“Juliann did a great job with my dog Lily. Normally Lily is very timid and shy meeting new people, but Lily warmed right up to Juliann. Juliann sent pictures of Lily and kept us updated. I had no worries or concerns and will use Juliann in the future.”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have been helping my mom with her dog sitting for half my life. I’ve also helped out family friends with check-ins, walks, and overnights! I’m currently at college and looking for some work to fill up my routine, I also miss my dogs and cat at home so I know helping care for others is what I need! I’m here to make sure your pet is fed and happy! I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible to give them comfort, food and water, or medication if needed, provide walks, playtime, and all the attention! I’m able to watch their behavior so I can notice and changes if something were to be wrong, and treat them with kindness and patience, as if they were my own.

“Hannah is wonderful! She's easy going, communicative and kind. Thank you Hannah for everything!”

“Zaq is an incredible cat sitter! He watched my two cats while I was gone and was very communicative and sent pictures of them every visit. I highly recommend him! Will definitely be using his services again next time I have to leave my kitties at home”

About: Hi! I’m Jessie, and I have always been the person who gets way too excited when there’s a dog in the room. 🐾 I absolutely love animals and genuinely believe they deserve to be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care that we want for ourselves. I have a big soft spot for animals with big personalities, nervous pups who need a little extra time to warm up, and the ones who immediately decide we are best friends. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. They’re family, and I don’t take the trust that comes with caring for them lightly. When your pet is with me, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—not like they’re just being “watched.” I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means long walks, playing until they’re exhausted, lots of cuddles, or letting them have some quiet time in their favorite spot. I’ll also happily send you pictures and updates because I know I’d want the same thing while I was away from my own dog! More than anything, I want your pet to have a good experience while you’re gone and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! ❤️🐶 I work full time from 8-5 M-F, and sometimes later. However, I am free most evenings after 6 as well as weekends. I have some holidays available as well so please reach out if you want to have me look after your pets! I have one dog and one cat. I take my dog on 2 mile walks a day and she is very friendly! My cat is my dog's best friend. If I end up taking care of pets overnight, I can arrange care for my own! I try to go to the dog park at least twice a day!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who will care about and adore your pets as if they are my own. I have lived with dogs and cats, plus the occasional fish, bird, or Guinea pig, since I was born, so I’ve been taking care of them since I was a small child. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets and keep them safe, as well as to provide oral medications and keep skittish, anxious, or previously traumatized pets calm during storms, fireworks, or separation anxiety. My other job is massage therapy, so there are times when I am not home or not available. I work 5-hour afternoon shifts Fri-Mon. On other days I may have shorter time blocks when I am away due to in-home appointments. I have a great deal of experience house-sitting and caring for the pets of the house while doing so. Other than needing to keep the space fragrance-free, I will be happy to take care of your home and pets as close to exactly how you would as I can. I have a small SUV, so I can take dogs to parks if desired, but even if it’s not, I will be delighted to walk them around your neighborhood or play with them in your yard.

“Alexis is a good communicator and spent time brushing and loving on our kitties in addition to tidying things we left less than perfect in our rush out during this tough post-hurricane time. Much appreciated & will definitely book her again if she’ll have us! Came home to calm, happy, cats and no surprises on the carpet! Thank you!”

About: I have experience, caring for bottle fed babies to medically, needy, senior pups. They’re all deserving of the same amount of love, loyalty and attention. My pet care routine begins the moment. I wake up with my senior pitbull and boxer. They are the most loved of my family members and my highest priority! I have a fenced in yard so my dogs are safe and well cared for. They enjoy fresh air and exercise and lounging in the sun.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up with lots of pets, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs and cats with all different personalities and needs, and I’m very patient and responsible. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m currently working part time but will always have time in morning, afternoon, and or night to check up on an animal. Will be gone for 4 hours max at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I follow their normal routine, make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of love. I’m also respectful of your home and will make sure everything stays clean and just how you left it. And of course always keep your babies safe.

“Denene was spectacular! Our old lady, Sophie, loved her, too. She spent most of the visits on Denene's lap. Her communication and attention to the details were excellent. I will most certainly book Denene in the future.”

Gail R.

“Mandolyn was absolutely fantastic! She made quick friends with both of our kitties and went above and beyond on more than one occasion. Only way we'll ever book a different rover is if she's unavailable.”

“Bristal took great care of our dogs while we were away. She was very informative about them and took great pictures. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have 4 years of kennel and veterinary experience. I have experience with old and young dogs and administering medications/caring for elderly animals with extra needs. I also have experience with aggressive and skittish dogs and cats from many years of volunteering at the Humane Society. I have groomed dogs of varying size while working at the kennel and can handle different breeds coats and needs. I have 3 Siberian Huskies of my own. I take them for an hour walk everyday and I am more than happy to include your pet in that routine. If they prefer to go on walks by themselves I can make time for that as well. I am available at any time of the day because I work from home. I am happy for them to stay in my home or I can come to you if your dog is more comfortable in their own environment. I have a fenced in backyard at my house and my dogs love to play with new friends. They always do a good job of making other dogs feel included and welcome. Luckily they are not territorial in any way. My dogs have free rein of the house. I do not crate my pets because they are luckily respectful of the house when I am not there. I have a medium sized crate from when they were puppies, but if you need your dog crated and they are a large dog you may have to provide your own! I monitor my dogs all day, if I do leave them it is to go grocery shopping or for a quick workout, I will never leave your dog for more than 2 hours. I am also very happy to update you throughout the day with pictures and videos so you can see how your baby is doing:)

About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾

About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.

“Good work! She gave me good feedback and took good care of my babies”

“Dawn is such a good pet sitter. Our cats are normally very reclusive around new people, but took to her immediately. We couldn’t recommend her more and will absolutely use her in the future.”
