Pet Boarding Leicester

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. 🐾

“Sharon is the best sitter hands down. She sent us so many pics, she kept us up to date with how they were doing and they always came home happy. I hate that she moved away, but anyone in Asheville would be lucky to have her watch their fur-babies.”

“Sonya Lyn was fantastic with Daisy. I will definitely be calling her the next time I need someone to care for my dog. She's very bubbly and you can tell how much she loves dogs. She's comfortable caring for them and knows how to accommodate each unique personality. She took Daisy on long trail walks that she loved! Sonya Lyn sends great photos too, so you can be sure your pup is doing well and in good care. Thank you Sonya Lyn!”

“What a wonderful experience. This family really knows how to accept a pup into their pack straight away. I couldn’t ask for better sitters and will be using them any time I need to leave my dog behind for a bit!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and just about any four-legged friend! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets and homes, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m an active person who loves getting outside, so whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks, playing fetch, swimming, hiking local trails, or going on new adventures, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from laid-back lap dogs to high-energy adventure companions—and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or an evening check-in, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I live on a large property with plenty of room for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have quiet dirt roads that are perfect for walks. For dogs who love getting out and about, I’m happy to visit local parks and trails like Richmond Hill, the River Arts District Greenway, Bent Creek, and other areas throughout North and West Asheville—always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your dog’s personality and activity level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, active, and well cared for.

“Wow! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Alyssa and Bryan and the care they gave Theo on his recent (and 1st overnight) visit. The property is a dream, and they are both dog people who know how handle introductions and new environments. Our dog is typically skittish and protective over us and he had the time of his LIFE with them. They are now our go-to in hopes they don’t book out so far in advance haha. So thankful to have found a wonderful family and new friends.”

“Bingo had another great experience with Charlene. She is kind and reliable. Her house is definitely a hub for pup activity as she hosts multiple dogs at once. This is perfect for social dogs who enjoy canine and human company alike. She took good care of Bingo and we're grateful for her help.”

“Calvin was the perfect sitter for our sweet, aging boy. He was kind, affectionate with Bates, welcoming and obviously took excellent care of our pup. Calvin sent many sweet and lovely photos and it was obvious that Bates loved him and felt comfortable. We are hoping that Calvin can continue to watch Bates when necessary. He was exactly who we needed. 🐶🥰”

“Willow loved her stay with Daniella. We will definitely use her again. She sent pictures that made me feel we didn’t need to worry about Willow while we were gone. A real relief about having to leave her.”

“5 Stars April is a total gem! From the moment we dropped Cooper off, we knew he was in great hands. When we picked him up, he was all smiles—and completely wore out, which says a lot because he’s usually full of nonstop energy! April clearly gave him tons of love, playtime, and attention. We got cute updates and could tell he was having the time of his life. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is not just cared for, but genuinely enjoying himself. We’re so happy we found her—Cooper is already looking forward to his next stay! Thank you, April!”

“This was our second time using Robin, and she is truly fantastic! She previously took wonderful care of another pet of ours, so we already knew we were leaving our pup in the absolute best hands. From start to finish, she was a great communicator—always quick to reply, clear, and incredibly easy to coordinate with. She is also amazing with updates; we received regular photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind and let us see just how much fun was being had. Their setup is absolutely perfect. They have a great fenced-in yard that offers plenty of secure space to run around. Plus, their own small, friendly, and playful dog, Winston, was the perfect host. He is so sweet and playful, making the stay feel like a fun puppy vacation. We love having a trusted, reliable go-to sitter and will absolutely continue booking with her.”

“I left my babies for a week in the caring hands of Max and at all times I felt they were safe, loved, and well supervised. Max's laid back attitude put the doggies at ease and I'll admit, I was a little annoyed when they wouldn't come to me at pick up! LOL! That just speaks volumes about Max. I wouldn't hesitate leaving my doggies with Max again! Thank you so much!”

Tomi W.

“Golda and her husband were great hosts for our dog Ringo. Ringo usually gets a little nervious staying away from us but it was clear when we picked him up that he was very comfortable with their family, children and a few other dogs in the big fenced yard to play in. We will definitely use Golda again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I also worked in a dog kennel in college. Love being around animals as much as I can! I work a full time job so I primarily would have more time on weekends but I can make mid day trips home for potty breaks! I let animals roam around my home so they can feel comfortable. I have a large dog bed and food bowls already here along with a few toys and treats!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to take good care of theirs pets in different ways. Depending on the circumstances, I taken care of dogs at my house where they can run and play in our big fenced yard. Other times, I’ve stayed at friend’s house to keep their dog comfortable in his own home. Lastly, I’ve helped by stopping by and checking on pets few times a day or as needed. I work remotely with a flexible schedule during the week, and most Fridays off giving me plenty of free time to help you with your pet. I have a big fenced yard where the dogs can run free and safe when they need fresh air, and a big comfy space indoors perfect to take naps and keep me company while I work.

About: I've always been an animal lover and grew up with 5 cats. I'd visit my grandparents farm over the summer and fell in love with the bunnies. But my biggest love is dogs. I've cared for my high energy dog for the past 13 years and am patient with shy and skittish dogs and love going for walks with furry friends in all weather. I'm an avid hiker and runner (just did a marathon in June) and can keep your high energy dog busy. I'm a former lawyer, reliable and professional. I'm generally available in the daytime and early afternoon, but happy to accommodate existing clients going out of town. I'm experienced with different breed dogs from beagles to Golden retrievers. I've taken training classes with my dog and understand some practical tips for getting dogs to feel comfortable and safe. Also, I have experience administering medications to dogs.

“Kay did a great job. My dog calmed down quickly in her presence and she sent photos and updates to ease my mind during the trip. She's also a nice person. I'm happy I went with Kay to watch my dog!”

About: Hi, I am a compassionate and dependable recent retiree. My two senior dogs passed away in the past 6 months and I am without any fur-babies for the first time in decades. I am honored to spend quality time with your loved one so you can have a worry-free vacation and I can have some doggy/kitty time! I am newly retired and have plenty of free time. I do have community activities out but they do not dominate my day. I spend my time focused on creativity (working on art and music projects) at home. So your pup will have company pretty much all day whether you are boarding with me or I am housesitting for you. I am very active and have a daily exercise and yoga routine and my home is a healthy and veg-friendly household. I'll gladly walk your dog to the level he/she is used to (if it's hot I will walk early morning and/or evenings). My intention is to have your baby feel loved and safe with lots of attention and play and by sticking to the routine as you dictate. I am very tidy/neat and respectful of your home. I'm happy to water your plants etc. If boarding in my home, I am here most of the time. My husb and I Iive in a house with a big fenced in yard so there is plenty of room for your pup to do his or her business and run around and chase a toy. The neighborhood is very walkable and dog-friendly. I can also take your dog in the car to favorite walks (with your permission). If boarding in my home, I request that your dog is 100% house-trained and has good social skills/manners as well as being comfortable with having their own bed to sleep in.

“Ryan gave excellent care to my senior dog and rambunctious young one while I was away for a week! She kept in touch and sent pictures frequently. I highly recommend this sitter!”

“I just boarded my dog for over 2 weeks with Rayana and I am extremely happy with her care. She has a nice backyard for the dogs to play together and plenty of toys. The dogs get a lot of loving attention. I received pictures and updates daily which was wonderful! Rayana has a lot of experience with taking care of dogs, pays attention to their personalities and sets boundaries if needed. My dog had a great time there, couldn’t be any happier with Rayana’s place!!”
