This was our first time booking with Lyndsi and it was a great experience! I loved reading her synopsis of each drop in visit and looking at the photos. She was great with communication and I could tell that she really cared about my pups and their wellbeing. Will definitely be using Lyndsi in the future.

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: What sets me apart is my experience caring for animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and understanding. I have experience working with older dogs and sick animals, which has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things and recognize when a pet may not be feeling their best. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I’m happy to adjust my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same care and compassion I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I currently work only about 10 hours a week, giving me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and other care needs, and I can work with your pet’s routine and schedule. Having a flexible schedule also means I can give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve rather than rushing through a visit. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I follow their feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions closely while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, keeping things clean and secure. Most importantly, I communicate with owners throughout the stay and provide updates so they can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

Stephanie was wonderful! Very communicative about each visit with our kitties and provided me with plenty of pictures to see that they were happy and safe. Two kitties needed meds and Stephanie was great about following the instructions and then problem-solving when things didn’t go exactly as planned. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit again.

About: I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I have always loved every single animal I have come across. I have pets in my family so I understand how important a pet can be to a person. Trusting someone with a pet can be scary but you can have full faith in me:) I recently graduated with my associate’s degree and will be starting dental assistant school in August, which is an exciting next step for me! Outside of school and work, I love spending my free time reading, crafting, and hanging out with my animals. I’m a very hands-on, creative person, and I really enjoy staying busy in ways that still feel relaxing and fun. I also have a clear and flexible schedule, which allows me to be dependable and available when needed for pet care visits. hen caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering medications when needed and making sure pets stay healthy and stress-free while their owners are away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of attention, supervision, and enrichment throughout the day. I make sure they have a safe space to relax, regular feeding times, play sessions, and plenty of affection based on their personality and comfort level. In both settings, I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine. I also keep owners updated so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

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.

About: I have had dogs in my house for my whole life, and worked doggy daycare for Dog-Gone Rite. I feel I have plenty of experience and I love to be around animals. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am available all weekdays as my work is not intensive. I like to sit with pets and watch them to ensure their safety as well as keeping them on a leash at all times outside.

About: I've had pets since I was a teenager. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets and 3 birds (2 cockatoos one quaker parrots). I've recently retired as a Project Manager from the Department of Veterans Affairs after 34 years. I just became retired and so I have plenty of time to hang out, play and entertain your pets. Almost all dogs and cats love me. As a project manager with the VA for the last 25 years I've been in a position of high public trust requiring that I have a background check every 5 years.

About: Hi, I’m Adrienne! 🐾 For years, I’ve been the reliable “go-to” person for friends and family whenever they need someone to care for their pets while they’re away. From cats and dogs to even goats, I’ve loved getting to know all kinds of animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I have both a cat and a dog of my own, so I know firsthand that pets are family. When caring for your pet, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, and maintaining your pet’s daily routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills and inhalers, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so you can expect plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and receiving the best care possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱 I work from home and typically work about 5–6 hours a day, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins without long gaps between visits. I love getting outside for daily walks, and having a dog companion would make that even better since my own dog is usually at work with my fiancé. My schedule allows me to be reliable, present, and responsive, so your pet will never feel like they’re being rushed or left alone for long periods. I truly enjoy incorporating pet care into my day and making it part of my routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and afternoon visits depending on your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine to keep things as comfortable and familiar as possible! I offer in-home pet care and dog walking services, making sure your pets stay comfortable in their own familiar environment while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I focus on providing calm, consistent care right in your home. For walks, I love taking dogs out on local neighborhood routes or nearby trails so they can safely explore, get fresh air, and enjoy their exercise time. Whether your dog prefers a relaxed stroll or a more active walk, I adjust the pace to match their energy level and needs. At this time, I do not offer care in my home as my cat is prone to getting stressed with change in her environment.

Makenzy is wonderful with my little cat. She is very conscientious and caring. I can rely on her to keep my pet happy and safe. She is very thoughtful about letting me know how he’s doing. Her descriptions are delightful. I can be away and know everything at home is just fine. I really appreciate her!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Leicester on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,083 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Leicester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Leicester stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

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:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

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.
