âBen was great with my kitty Niko! I could tell he did a great job because this was the first time ever that I have returned from a trip and didnât have Niko begging me for attention. He also took care of my plants. Plus he cleaned the litter box without my request! He was very fun to talk to in person as well. I will definitely book him again in the future!â
âKevin kept an eye on my cats while I went away for Christmas. He was awesome! He was attentive to the cats when he came over, cleaned the litter boxes and gave them cat food. He even took the time to warm up and play with them for a while when he came over. Iâll definitely be using Kevin again anytime I need a drop in visit!â
âKaribian was very prompt and ensured Zeek was taken care of. She communicated well during each visit and went above and beyond in helping address a troubling âant issueâ. I would highly recommend her any service she provides on Rover!â
About: Iâve had pets since I was born. I love to take my dog on walks at the beach and play in the yard with him. I am attentive to any reactions they might have to their surroundings as well. Iâve been looking for a job during the week days and I figured why not try this out to maybe help some families live their life if theyâre on vacation or super busy. I have a friendly dog who will keep any pets company. I have a big yard with sun or shade if any dogs love to be outside. I also have crates if dogs need to be crated during the night or day.
About: Iâve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From energetic dogs and affectionate cats to birds, reptiles, and small animals, Iâm comfortable providing attentive, compassionate care for a wide variety of pets. As someone who shares my own home with multiple animals, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Iâm experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining clean environments, and giving animals the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved member of your family. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. Iâll always treat your animals with the same kindness, respect, and dedication I give my own! Pet care doesnât just fit into my daily and weekly routineâit IS my daily and weekly routine! With five dogs, six cats, a hamster, a blue-tongue skink, fish, and 36 chickens of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life, and I wouldnât have it any other way! My days revolve around feeding, cleaning, exercising, playing with, and making sure every animal in my care is happy, healthy, and comfortable. Managing a household with so many different species has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, attention to detail, and understanding each animalâs individual needs. Caring for animals isnât something I have to squeeze into my scheduleâitâs a lifestyle I genuinely love. Providing that same level of dedication, affection, and dependable care to your pets comes naturally to me! Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for animals. With a household full of pets of my own, I understand how important it is to provide a clean, secure, loving environment where every animal feels safe and respected. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize supervision, maintaining familiar routines, and making sure each animal has the space, attention, and care they need. I understand that introductions between animals should never be rushed, and Iâm mindful of individual personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I treat both their pets and their property with the utmost respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I also pay close attention to securing doors, gates, and other potential escape routes. I believe communication is an important part of building trust, so Iâm happy to provide regular updates and photos while youâre away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind!
âNatalie has been an amazing help for me and my wife whenever we go out of town. She is super caring and takes the time to make sure everything is well taken care. Our two cats love her and always look forward to it when she comes over to take care of them. Highly recommend Natalie!â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 592 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
