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: Hello! My name is Rachel. I am an experienced animal whisperer, animal lover and pet caregiver. Entrusted for over 15 years with all breeds, sizes, multiples. For one time, daily visits, extended over nights stays, with responsibilities of: lengthy walks, picking up after/litter box, timely feeding and water. Loving attention, socializing, exercising, play and upon request: light grooming, administering medicine, canine acupressure massage, harmony for family/pet dynamics, and behavioral assistance. I will always communicate with you to ensure all of your pet and home need's are honored. I am glad to provide positive reassurance with photo updates while your animals are in my care. I am reliable, responsible, attentive, and loving; happy to be there for your pets. I have a flexible schedule and wonderful references. I am happy to listen to your needs and answer any questions. I look forward to caring for your animals! I have a flexible schedule to be home with animals and share my free time in nature. I am happy to bring dogs for long walks. I also meditate and cherish down-time, so animals like my company at home. Snuggles, baths, swimming, long walks, playing in a fenced in yard, laying in the grass with them, reading a book and sitting together, singing or talking with them, cuddles at bedtime. I have flexible entrepreneurial & part time remote admin work, which gives plenty of time to be with your pets. I have space in the evenings, mid day, and mornings for feeding, walking and play. I am open for longer term overnight stays (minimum one week, longer a plus) or boarding. If in your home, it needs to be free of heavy fragrances and mold. When able, I prefer boarding animals in my home. When I board, there are no other animals in the house. However, my land lord has a dog and they are on the land or near the house at times. Therefore, I am not able to board dogs who are reactive in any way to dogs or men.

About: I genuinely love animals, and spending time with them never feels like work to me. I’m an active person who loves walks and playtime with energetic pups, but I’m equally happy giving a cat some quiet company and affection or simply respecting the space of a pet who prefers to do their own thing. While I’m new to offering services through Rover, I’m not new to pet sitting. I’ve cared for pets through TrustedHousesitters, including cats, active dogs, and senior pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m also happy to share reviews from my previous sits. I’m a pet mom myself to Daisy, our sweet, social, and playful Golden Retriever. We’re not looking to add another pet to our family right now, but Daisy loves other dogs, so welcoming a friendly pup into our home gives her a chance to make new friends and enjoy some meaningful playtime too. As a pet parent, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing your animal isn’t simply being “watched.” I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. That might mean long walks and playtime, lots of snuggles and attention, or giving a shy or independent pet the space and patience they need to feel comfortable. When I leave Daisy with someone, I love knowing that she’s not just safe, but actually having a good time. I want her stay to feel like a fun little getaway rather than being left behind. That’s the same feeling I hope to give you when you leave your pet in my care. Whether I’m walking your pup, checking in on your cat, or welcoming your dog into our home, my goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same attention, kindness, and care I’d want for my own. 🧚‍♀️🐾✨ My schedule is very flexible during the week, which gives me plenty of time for walks, play, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I primarily work as a gigging musician on weekends, so I tend to keep most of my bookings to weekdays. If I’m available for weekend boarding, my husband is also home and helps with pet care, so your pup will still have plenty of company and attention. My Rover calendar will always reflect my current availability! We have a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax and play, including a puppy-proofed area where dogs can safely hang out and make themselves at home. We also have a large yard that is currently unfenced, so dogs are always supervised and leashed outside. We’re having a fence installed soon! Our sweet, social Golden Retriever puppy, Daisy, loves other dogs and would be thrilled to welcome a friendly pup for a stay and playdate. We live on a quiet little street that’s great for walks, and I’m also happy to load up the pups for longer adventures at nearby parks, greenways, and trails. I want your dog’s stay to feel as comfortable and familiar as possible, so tell me all about their normal routine: where they sleep, whether they’re crate-trained, feeding schedule, favorite activities, quirks, and anything else that helps them feel at home. We’re flexible and happy to accommodate what works best for your pup. 🐾

About: What sets me apart as an exceptional sitter is my unique ability to handle challenging situations. Having nurtured a rescue who struggled with trust, I understand the patience and empathy required for such cases. Moreover, my experience transitioning from Asheville to Marion equips me with diverse skills adaptable to various environments. I excel in not only basic care but also in providing specialized attention tailored to individual needs, be it working with energetic puppies or ensuring the comfort of senior animals. Given my current availability, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I can ensure ample time for both your dog and cat, catering to their individual needs. My commitment to structured activities and routines guarantees a stable and enriching environment for your pets. In both my home and yours, pet safety and comfort are paramount. At my place, a secluded yard and an invisible fence guarantee a secure outdoor environment for playful activities. In your home, I prioritize creating a familiar setting, maintaining routines, and implementing any necessary safety measures, ensuring your pets feel at ease and well-cared for.

About: I have had pets all of my life, and I have taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and others. I also have experience with farm animals in addition to common household pets, which I think has improved my overall care for all animals. Animals are my happy place, and I look forward to caring for yours! I work fully remote, so I am able to pet-sit often and stay home pretty much all day with your pets. My flexible schedule allows me to commit a lot of time to pet sitting which i love! I just ask that if dog sitting on weekdays, you have a space where I can set up a laptop with a steady wifi connection. Your animals will be treated like family and with great care! I do not offer boarding in my home as of right now, but I will take care of pets in your home. With that being said, I will respect everyone’s home and animals as if they were my own. Will provide lots of cuddles, walks, playtime, and love while you are away! :)

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’ve spent years caring for several pets in my own home as well as loving and taking care of other people’s pets as a pet sitter. I’ve fostered several dogs through local animal shelters as well! I love spending time with other animals and getting to know them and all of their fun personalities and quirks. I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule for fitting in walks, drop in visits, house/pet sitting, etc. I’m available at various times every day and would love to work with you to find a schedule that works! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play and spend time with dogs of all sizes and ages. I really enjoy going on long hikes or walks with dogs and tiring them out through play and exercise. Additionally, I love cuddling up with an older or less energetic dog and spending chill time with them.

About: I'm no stranger to high-need dogs! I had a Chihuahua who, bless his heart, was a mess. He was no more than 6lbs, and had heart, dental, and bone issues. He always rated my service to him highly, and he taught me a lot for which I'm grateful. In his memory, and to keep our other senior dog, Buddy, company, we adopted a chocolate labrador named Roxanne, who is blind. Pets like me because I am empathetic and caring. I understand why they might be acting the way that they act, that most of the time, it's just fear, and with that knowledge, I am able to approach the situation with confidence and tact. Or maybe they're just super excitable! I am a calming presence who knows how to party when the occassion's right. I work part-time and study, which gives me a lot of freedom for extracurriculars (pet sitting!). I am completely free on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Your house, your rules! I will follow all of your normal houseguest rules while also making your pet feel like they're the ones writing my checks. Safe, comfortable medication adminstration? Done. Clean up inside or outside the house? Done. Stain clean up before it sets? Absolutely. I will go the extra mile to make it seem like time froze while you were gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Leicester is $27 per walk as of October 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 October 2026, there are 979 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 your 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 , 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 , 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 .

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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
