“Adrienne is great! She came by a few days before for a meet and greet on her own time. She was on time and independent. She communicated really well and sent us a picture of our pooch. We will definitely utilize her friendly service in the future.”
“John was very courteous to do a meet and greet with my pup before our first visit! John was communicative, friendly and kind, and thorough with feeding and tasks! Glad to have him as my dog walker!!”
“Tobias helped me out last minute with a walk for my pup mid day while I was at work. He was communicative, prompt, and took the pup for a nice long walk to wear her out. I'm very appreciative. I would definitely use him again in the future.”
“I am so glad we found Jordan to help walk and take care of our dog! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Jordan was so reliable and great at sending pictures and updates on how our dog was doing each visit. If you are looking for a trustworthy and punctual person to help with your dog then I highly recommend her!”
About: I have two cats and a dog who mean the world to me, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I would treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school full time, which has strengthened my responsibility, patience, and compassion when caring for others. While my weekdays are busy with classes and studying, I’m available for evening and weekend pet care and would love to spend that time giving your pets the attention, comfort, and love they deserve. In my home or my client’s home, I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I’m mindful of any specific instructions from the owner, including medications, special diets, or behavioral needs. I also keep their space clean, make sure they have a calm and stress-free environment, and give lots of reassurance so they feel at ease while their owner is away.
About: I have always been a dog person. People at work call me the dog whisperer. I have so much love and patience to give. I have trained my dog since he was a puppy and I have taken care of senior dogs as well. I am currently fully focused on pet care. My daily and weekly schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. This more time with furry friends the better! I have a Furbo if I am not home. I think the most important part is attention and love towards any pet. Making sure they have exercise and relief.
About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had a dachshund and a rottweiler (quite the duo!), and later on I had a bull terrier of my own that I absolutely adored. I also lived with a golden retriever, so I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of personalities and energy levels. For the past 10 years, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family. They trust me because they know their pups will get more than just the basics, they’ll get love, attention, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. Right now I have full-time availability, which means your pet will get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Since I’m not balancing another job, I can easily work around your pet’s routine, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable — I live alone in a 3-bedroom house, so there’s lots of room for them to play, explore, or just relax. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a very walkable neighborhood, so I make sure they get plenty of walks and outdoor time. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home if that’s where they feel most comfortable. Whether at my place or yours, I always make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need.

I’m happy to board dogs that don’t chew on our furniture!
“Kate is wonderful! She took great care of our pups, showing up right on time, sharing pictures, and even keeping me posted on how my dog was doing when I told her he was a little under the weather. Thank you, Kate! We will definitely call you again.”
About: As a child I grew up with cats and a dog. I love all animals and see them as people. I treat them with kindness and respect as I would any other person. I love to spend time with them and care for them, play with them and take them for a walk! I currently work part-time online, so I have a lot of time and flexibility for pet-care in my day. For walking and visits, I am available as early as 9:00am. When I care for your pet, this includes a daily walk (unless not needed), play time and plenty of snuggles on the couch any time.

About: We both love animals of all kinds. We have always had pets in our lives and have loved being dog sitters for friends and family over the years. We are currently the proud parents of two wonderful dogs, Honeybee and Charlie. We have experience with special care for senior dogs. Our dog Carlos was blind and deaf for the last few years of his life, and had diabetes, requiring insulin shots every 12 hours. We have some dog training skills and have helped Honeybee on her path, starting as a wild rescue puppy to being the well-behaved young lady that she is now. We believe in positive reinforcement training and understand dog behavior enough to know when to step in and intervene. I (Ethan) am currently working a very flexible schedule of driving for Uber and Lyft. My schedule allows me to be home often and to stop by and check on Charlie and Honeybee and any visiting dogs frequently when I am working. If we have doggy daycare clients I am able to stay home all day. Hope is around on evenings and weekends and is always ready for playtime and snuggles with the pups. I am currently sharing residence with my partner Hope (who loves dogs as much as I do!) and she shares in the care of all the dogs. We have a large, fenced-in yard in the heart of West Asheville. We won’t leave your dogs outdoors unattended and will respect any special requirements as to the safety of your beloved babies. We understand the need for routine in a dog's life and will be happy to abide by whatever feeding/medication schedule, exercise needs, etc. that your dog has.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, having been raised with pets my whole life! I strongly believe in giving them the best care possible. I’ve learned firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and attention to detail when it comes to providing the best care for animals. I have a 4-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix that I’ve raised from a puppy and have trained with love and patience, ensuring she has grown into a well-behaved and happy companion. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a senior dog with congestive heart failure (CHF), where I administered around-the-clock medication and provided the special attention needed to ensure their comfort. I understand how important it is to give both young and senior pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. What sets me apart is my compassion and attention to detail. I treat every pet as if they were my own, whether it’s providing personalized training or simply offering them the companionship they need when you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, training, or medication management, you can trust that I will give them the highest level of care. I’d love to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same quality care I’d give my own pet! As a full-time professional who is new to the area, I have extra time available after my work hours and on weekends. I understand the importance of consistency in pet care and am happy to accommodate your pet's needs around my schedule. I am available before 7 a.m. and after 4 p.m. on weekdays. I offer flexible hours on weekends with prior notice. Whether it's a morning walk, evening playtime, or weekend care, I am committed to providing reliable and loving attention to your pets. I take the safety and well-being of every pet I care for very seriously. While I am unable to keep pets in my own apartment due to strict policies, I am more than happy to provide excellent care in the comfort of your home. I understand the importance of a familiar environment for pets and make sure to create a calm, secure, and loving space for them while you're away. I follow clear instructions for their routines, ensuring they feel at ease and receive the best possible care. Trust is crucial in pet care, and I prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. With many years of experience, I offer a reliable, compassionate service, and I make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos. I also respect your home and space, ensuring I leave it just as I found it, clean and orderly, so you can feel confident knowing your pets and property are in good hands.
About: Hello, My name is Jenny and I’ve been in the animal care field for 6+ years as a pet caretaker and veterinary professional. I aim to make each stay as comfy and enjoyable for your furry friend while you’re away. Using my knowledge in the veterinary field, you can rest assure that your pet will receive the absolute best care. I am comfortable with all breeds and temperaments of cats and dogs. I work hard to gain the trust of shy and nervous animals. During meet and greets I will ask questions such as if your pets have any allergies or medical conditions, what is their feeding schedule, and what is their favorite pastime. I would like to know how I can make sure you have the peace of mind you deserve.
About: I’ve had numerous cats and dogs over the years. I love caring for all animals. I’m a reliable, honest, and trustworthy person. Looking forward to meeting your pets 🤗. I’m currently working part time in the service industry, so my schedule can vary a lot. Shifts typically last about 7 hours or so. Other than that I have plenty of time to tend to your animals 😁 I can feed your pets, clean litter boxes, walk them outside, take them for a brisk run if needed, play with them, and give them affection.
About: Have had pets my entire life, bred multiple reptiles in the past, have had several dogs over the years, exotics, still have a 23 year old african grey who is my middle child who won't leave the nest, spent a decade volunteering at a no-kill shelter, multiple animal rescues, have worked in multiple veterinary offices, been vegetarian since 1997, worked as a vegan chef in several restaurants, and still love to cook for potlucks, friends and fun! I'm currently just working a few days a week in a restaurant, no other commitments. Plus it's the longest I've ever been without companion animal of my own, so I have extra time and love to give at the moment. Will follow the owners instructions to the tee, and more often than not spend additional time when possible. I'm currently without pets of my own which is rare for me, so I have an ample amount of attention and care to spare!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Leicester is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 985 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Leicester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Leicester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Leicester after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leicester. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
