“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”

“Ashleigh was an ideal catsitter for our precious girl! My cat can be shy with new people, but she warmed up quickly to Ashleigh and pretty soon, they were cuddling every visit. I loved getting every update and photo while we were away.”
About: We have had horses, cows, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, you name it. I am very good at communicating with them and making them feel at home. I am a nursing student in need of a good paying job with a flexible schedule. This opportunity seemed perfect to me especially since outside of class I don’t get to interact with animals a lot! My home is very safe. Our fields have fences around them and I would keep your fur babies on leashes if they need to be!
About: I had a German Shepard as a babysitter from the age of 1. Our house was full of Dogs and cats. Dogs always love me, and feel safe and happy with me. I not only grew up with dogs, but I owned one for a long time that gave birth to 12 puppies with me as a Dogie Midwife. I've cared for German Shepard, English setters, collies, small dogs, Cocker Spaniels, and mixed breeds large to small. Young to old. I do drop in visits, play, walks, runs, feeding, etc. I work part time at home making my own schedule, so I am free any times morning to evening. I drive and have a dependable car. I am active and fit. I do not provide care in my home at this time. I only offer and provide drop in visits to the owner's home or the occasional overnight. The sessions for walking can be twice a day morning and evening or more often if necessary.
“Kaysee had great communication with me despite me being out of service most of the time. I was also able to add a day at the last minute. Thanks for looking out for Lucky so well.”

About: Hello! My name is Lena. :) I am a pet sitter of many years, and a proud fur mama of a 16-year-old chihuahua named Cinnamon. I spent a few years in my early 20s as a full-time dog groomer, before moving to Asheville and pursuing other professional ventures. I've also worked in a kennel and doggie daycare, so am experienced and comfortable with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and dietary needs. I understand that every dog is different, and am happy to provide care for those who need to exert extra energy, those who are couch potatoes, and every fur baby in between. As an added bonus, I've also done master level reiki training, and have provided animal reiki quite a few times! I currently work part-time during the day, so will be around for morning + evening walks & feeding, as well as overnight for stays. I am happy to spend more time with your fur baby around these hours! For overnight stays, I do my best to accommodate to your pet’s normal routine with feeding/walks/etc. I will typically come by around dinner time, and stay until mid-late morning.

“Alex did an absolutely amazing job with my animals while we were out of town getting married. He was completely unfazed by 4 dogs and a cat, all running wild. He took such great care of all of them, sent the most adorable pictures of them, so we never had to stress that our babies were in good hands. Phenomenal job, we will gladly have Alex come back again any time we need a sitter ♥️”

“Wow! Heather is an absolute gem who exceeded our expectations and put our anxieties to rest! I truly can't recommend Heather enough. She is competent, friendly, ready to help, and most importantly, was really sweet and patient with our cats--one of whom is extremely shy of strangers. By the end of our vacation Heather had won over and made friends with our scaredy boy kitty. Heather kept us apprised of each visit with photos as well as detailed and humorous updates that really set our minds and hearts at ease. She was also more than willing to water a few of our plants and tend to a few things around our house. Please book Heather if you are looking for the very best pet sitter!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family cared for dogs, cats, and chickens, many of them rescues. Over the years, I've gained experience caring for animals with a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. I also have experience with pet sitting, dog walking, house sitting, and assisting with Rover clients. Spending time with animals is something I've always genuinely enjoyed, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. When you trust me with your pet, I will care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day and overnight. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, get extra cuddles, or just have someone nearby, I'm happy to give them the attention they deserve. Since I mostly provide care in my clients' homes, I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine, so they feel comfortable while you're away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I will treat your home with respect and keep it clean.
“Kate really came through for us last minute. She was very thorough at introduction asking questions to make sure we were on the same page for the care of our pets. Her check-ins were detailed and included photos. We will book with Kate again ! Thank you so much Kate !”

About: I have been caring for animal for around 10 years. I have dog, cat and house sat for many folks during that time. I love bringing peace of mind knowing your furry friends are safe and comfortable! I work part-time and have lots of flexibility to walk or play with your dog! I am open to discussing your needs and a schedule that works for both of us. I have three indoor cats. They’re great with dogs, and I am able to take dogs on walks around the greenway! It is my preference to come to you!
About: I cared for family dogs, cats & horses through childhood & my 20s. Here in Asheville, I've had two dogs (one at a time) for 13 years. I am attuned to safety & health first; then I focus on play/walking to provide fun & exercise for emotional, mental & physical stimulation. In addition to having food, water, shelter & a comfortable temperature, all pets need to feel safe, loved & respected. I am gentle, thorough, attentive, & caring, & I follow all instructions carefully. I have worked with puppies through senior dogs as well as my flighty, 52-lb. 6-yr-old reactive Pit Bull/Cane Corso rescue, whom I walk daily & hike with weekly. I've used the Behavior Adjustment & Doggy Dan training systems with this sweet companion, who had been abused & neglected before I adopted her at 14 months. I have done drop-in visits for friends for 10 yrs. & can give medications orally, in ears & as injections. Before a first service, I do a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend & learn about how your canine relates to people, other dogs, cats, squirrels & rabbits. Activiies include playing fetch, tug of war, food puzzles & your pup's favorites. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Also I'm free between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I am a fulltime pet care giver. At this time, I do not stay overnight with pets in my home or my clients' homes. Instead, I do 30-minute drop-in visits and 30-minute walks in clients' neighborhoods.

About: I have veterinarian assistant background, and can administer medications. I have been dog sitting for 9 years. I am active and will be engaging with your pets constantly. my schedule fits perfect for dog sitting and dog walking. I will take care of your pets as they are my own. I hope you’ll consider me for your pets needs. I am currently working part time and would love to use my extra time to take care of your pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule, and your pets needs come first. Giving your pets love, playtime, and exercise. If your pets have special needs to meet those needs for them. Cleaning up after your animals and always making sure their needs are taken care of.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Leicester choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Leicester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
