“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.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 15. I’ve had experience with a wide range of pets, including many ages and fun personalities. I currently work part time so I’m available to give your pet the time they need. I live in Leicester which gives me the opportunity to help out in any surrounding area. I live in a studio apartment but have a large yard that can be used for dogs enrichment. I am also very active and love hiking which makes a fun adventure for animals looking for exercise.

About: I've been a care provider of all kinds over the years. I started as at home nurse and eventually moved into more full time pet care. I have strong animal intuition, and dogs bring me great joy! I work remotely and on my own time, so pet care fits seamlessly into the mix. I can accommodate whatever your dogs specific needs are. I don't have much of a yard, but I'm walking distance to two parks. I also have space to board one dog at a time in my cozy little house, and this way I can provide the most customized care.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 13. I’ve also taken care of cats along with bunnies, guinea pigs, mice, and frogs. I have also helped take care of senior dogs who needed help walking and also puppies. I am currently going to school at UNCA so I would stay at your home or also have your dog in my dorm the school doesn’t mind. I would take them outside in the morning and in between classes. There is also a dog park behind my dorm building. I will stop by and feed animals and stay if wanted to and also walk them and play with them during my free time. I can take care of whatever you need including tidying up.

About: Hi friends! I am an energetic person who LOVES the outdoors and basically any kind of animal. I am blessed enough to be able to work for my husband for his concrete business so I am home (mostly) all day every day! I have 3 dogs myself; a Border Collie, GSP, and a mixed breed (half Great Pyrenees, half Australian Shepherd). They are my babies, and I also have a human baby! She will most likely be joining me on our drop ins and walks her in carrier! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Monday-Thursday with some weekends! We travel a lot over the weekends in the summer so weekends are limited but I will keep my weekend schedule updated We have a doggie door leading to the fenced in area for our dogs so they are able to come and go as they please. If you aren’t comfortable with the doggie door, I will make sure your pet does not use it and I will take them out for breaks frequently!

About: i’ve been around animals all my life! i’m highly experienced with cats of all ages and i am very comfortable with small to most large dogs. i would say i’m least compatible with reactive dogs. i work full time. i wake up in the morning and feed my 16 year old, three legged cat for the day. she has an automatic feeder. i scoop her litter box multiple times a day. she is learning how to be on a harness and leash so i can take her outside. she has been an inside cat her whole life. i get off work around 5:30pm and usually will go to the gym for an hour and then head home the rest of the night. i can easily feed, walk, play with, maintain their environment and keep them company. i feel pretty confident with most dogs and like to use proper training to keep everyone safe. i can easily put your dog in a crate with no problem, but i’ll make sure to give them attention and exercise too. being outdoors is my favorite! i also am very comfortable with cats. so my goal is for them to feel safe and loved by me!

About: I have a lot of experience building a relationship of trust with anxious rescues or fosters who have are scared of people, or who have had other rough starts in life. While I cannot dogsit dogs who are extremely aggressive towards people or other dogs, I can work with dogs who shut down, hide away, or struggle to trust humans after what they've been through. I can also administer pill or chewable medications safely. My other commitment currently is working as a short-story fiction writer, so I can spend most of if not the entire day looking after your pups. When I housesit and watch after your dog, the dog's usual routine becomes my routine. What's most important to me is that their normal is maintained to provide them with a sense of security. I ensure everything in your home is exactly as you left it when house sitting. I use all of my own dishes, take my personal trash home, and can wash any used sheets or towels so they are fresh upon your arrival. I keep a close eye on your pet, ensuring their water bowl is always fresh, their meals are on time, and they are as relaxed as can be. I will constantly provide photos, updates, and reports about their day. I can also perform other house chores like taking out the trash, and collecting mail every day.

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.

“Ines did drop in visits with our new adult dog, Ducky, who was working on potty training. And also our other dog, Fievel. She followed the instructions on how to take both of our dogs out to potty in a way that was safe for the two of them! She gave detailed follow ups after each drop in”

About: Welcome, Thank you for your interest. My name is Gabriel, your dedicated pet concierge. "Enabling the ordinary, so you can achieve the extraordinary!" I have had the pleasure of working with pets and their families in WNC for over 10 years. I am committed to expanding my expertise in animal care and am always receptive to new insights, techniques, and communication methods for our beloved companions. To streamline the process, I invite you to schedule a meet and greet at your earliest convenience. I look forward to connecting with you soon. Sincerely, Gabriel Lopez. Those familiar with me recognize Kira as my cherished companion, and she serves as my inspiration. I am committed to extending the same level of affection and care to your pet when you are unavailable. My daily work schedule fluctuates based on staffing requirements, with typical shifts ranging from 6 to 9 hours. However, I am able to utilize my lunch breaks to check on our pets. Please ensure your pets can be left unsupervised for 4 to 9 hours while I am at work or asleep. I utilize a "KiraLove Cam" equipped with a two-way microphone and high-definition capabilities. I am pleased to provide screenshots of your pet from this camera during their time under my care. I reside in a pet-friendly apartment complex located in the South Slope downtown area, with a hiking trail conveniently situated a few blocks away. Having lived in downtown Asheville for 10 years, I have curated optimal routes and secure locations for our pets to enjoy throughout the day until your return.

Makenzy is AMAZING!!! I couldn’t be happier with the incredible care she gave to our senior cat while we were away. She’s has such a peaceful, calm, and kind presence which is exactly what our shy guy needs. She provided the sweetest daily updates (with photos) and I found myself being able to just miss him and not worry about him. Makenzy truly puts her heart into what she does in caring for our special family members, and I could see it. I was able to put all my trust in Makenzy, and I will absolutely book her again 🩷

They did a great job looking after my two cats. They were diligent and communicative. My cats eat raw food and they did a great job managing their dietary needs. They went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. I was able to really relax and enjoy my trip knowing my cats were in good hands. I am deeply appreciative and would highly recommend them!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Leicester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Leicester is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 1,055 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Leicester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leicester. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
