About: I’ve had around 13 years of experience caring for pets and have always been passionate about animals. Friends, neighbours and family regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, feeding, playtime and general care. I’m patient, reliable and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe and well looked after. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine and I have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. I’m available feeding, playtime and check-ins throughout the day, and I always make sure pets stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and well looked after at all times. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner regarding feeding, exercise and routines. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and needs, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime and care while their owners are away.
About: Alongside caring for my own cat, I have regularly looked after friends and family members cats and dogs. This has included feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter trays, taking dogs for walks, playing with pets to keep them mentally stimulated, providing companionship, and following any specific care instructions or routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work full-time, but I work from home three to four days each week, which gives me flexibility to provide walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work. I am also available on weekends and can dedicate quality time to caring for pets during those periods. Working from home also means I can be responsive and reliable when arranging visits and communicating with owners. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I will always treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of care, patience, attention, and affection. I am reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I will always adapt my approach to suit their individual needs and help them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away.
“10/10 Highly Recommend! If it were possible, I would leave a 10-star rating! Leanna did an amazing job and always stayed longer than the actual booked time. She even showed up within 10 minutes for an urgent visit when we were concerned about our little guy. If you get stressed about your pets while on holiday, definitely book her. She goes above and beyond, updating us every day with details and pictures. Eddie, my Russian Blue, absolutely loves her, and I am entirely confident that he is in good hands whenever I am away. Book her with confidence—your holiday will be completely stress-free! I will definitely be using her services again.”
“This is my first experience of this service. I contacted Maisie to care for my two cats. She responded promptly to my message and was spot on time for the introductory visit. Maisie asked relevant questions about the boys care and explained that I would receive photos and a message after the visit. I was happy with the care provided and would book Maisie again.”
“Emily was an absolute star, saving us with a very last minute request for a dog sitter. Responding swiftly with messages, but also driving through the snow to come meet Buffy before hand. Buffy made a new best friend the moment Emily arrived, showing how great she is with dogs and we can't thank her enough for looking after our dog x”
“From start to finish, Saffron was an absolute dream to deal with. After contacting her to check her availability, she came round to meet myself and my fur baby, Tilly. We hadn't left Tilly before, plus had recently moved house, so I wanted to ensure that she was able to stay in her own environment. Saffron put me at ease right away and Tilly allowed her to stroke her on the first interaction which is very rare! Saffron sent me regular updates and photos which was a much anticipated message for us whilst we were on holiday. We came back to a calm and content Tilly and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Saffron. So much so, that I've already re-booked her!”
“Excellent drop in service from Emily - for our old cat Monty - daily updates and pictures really great to receive for piece of mind - highly recommend - thank you Emily again so much 😊🐱”
“Sapphire looked after our cat for 4 days whilst we were away, it’s the first time we’ve used a cat sitter and we were a bit nervous but as soon as Sapphire got to ours, our minds were put at ease 😊 She sent us lots of great pictures and kept in touch throughout the 4 days and even made sure our plants were watered before she left! 100% recommend Sapphire, I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after our cat any time. She’s absolutely brilliant and we can’t thank her enough for being so great! Thanks Sapphire! Xx”
“Daisy was totally reliable and excellent with communication. She took time to meet with Simba prior to the booked drop in visit, and kept in touch both prior to, and during the visit. We will definitely be happy to book Simba in with Daisy again.”

“Becky was a wonderful sitter and made me feel very safe leaving my kittens on holiday. She left detailed cards so that I always knew how they were doing. Great at responding and it felt like she really cared about the cats 😊✨️”
“We had Rachel come and look after our cat Felix for the first time bank holiday weekend. Was so impressed from the moment we met her on the meet & greet. Rachel done a great job looking after our boy, she followed all our instructions, sent photos of him and left the house very tidy. When we returned Felix was a happy boy. Would have no hesitation in booking Rachel again and would definitely recommend. Thank you Rachel .”
About: When I was 15, I started my own pet sitting and walking business, which I have been running ever since for my neighbours and close family. I've taken care of dogs ranging from a 1 year old Cockapoo to a 12 year old Labrador retriever, and Cats of various ages 1-18. At home, I have 5 cats, 1 dog, 2 hens and 1 rabbit. I am a part-time student studying online, so I am completely flexible to walk your pets, or look after them, pretty much any time of the day! Our Labrador has daytime access to our huge fenced garden! He can run around, and he enjoys being with and playing with our cats (ages 1, 8, 12, 17, 18)
“Kelly took great care of our kitten whilst we were away for the day. The updates and photos were fab and really helped us to feel confident that he had a lovely day. She also arranged a meet and greet before the day so that we all felt comfortable with the plans which we hadn't thought to do ourselves but was really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Kelly to drop in again in the future if she's happy to!”
About: I’ve always had animals in the house from goldfish to dogs! Happy to help keep your pets happy and healthy with a personalised approach to suit your needs, I provide dog walks from only the same household so they will always have my full attention. I am reliable, friendly and trustworthy and would love to build a relationship with you and your precious pets This is my only commitment other than parenting 3 boys although they don’t need me so much these days meaning I can be readily available most days/times and can be flexible I would treat your pets like my own when they’re in my care, I am trustworthy and reliable and if I am in your home I would treat it with the utmost respect like I would expect my own home to be treated
“Shannon did a brilliant job looking after Peanut for us...great with photos every visit and even dealt with an unwanted 'Friend' he decided to bring home! Allowed us to enjoy our hols without worrying about our pusscat being in safe hands. Deffo 5 star rating!! Thanks Shannon.”
“Ria dropped in on my kitten, Luna and I could immediately tell they had a great time. She played with her and fed her and when I returned, Luna seemed really happy. I would definitely be using Ria again to look after Luna. Thanks again!”
About: I have had cats since I was 5 years old and dogs for 3 years. I have handled everything from feeding and cleaning to birth and feeding newborns every two hours. I even have experience nursing a cat with congenital heart failure. I have a trained Afghan hound who can be off leash, so I am no stranger to stubborn active “untrainable” dogs. I am currently free with no commitments and so if needed can take on same day booking for walking and check ins. I will always update my availability. I will always follow the instructions and requirements given by owners. I understand the level of trust placed by owners to anyone they entrust the care of their beloved pet or their home environment and therefore understand that communication is vital. I will always give a report about the walk / check in and will update owners on any injury or out of the ordinary behaviour. My vast experience permits me to recognise canine and feline body language paying attention to the small details.
About: I have a cat and a dog myself and have a great passion for dog training and I am currently studying to be a dog psychologist/trainer. I have a love for all animals big and small and only want the best for your pet! Even though I am young, I am a mature, reliable, and responsible person and would be grateful if you thought so too and allowed me to give you pet the best care they deserve! Pet care is one of my biggest passions in life, and whilst having a cat and dog of my own I would love to share my experience and love for others too Despite being a pushover when it comes to those cute faces, I am plenty capable to remind a pet when they are misbehaving. I feel that I have trained my own animals to a great standard and would know what to do if a situation arose where I needed to take action to protect your pet or others.

Martha looked after my cat well and updated me a couple of times during the days I was away. She obviously loves animals and made an effort to interact with Rupert during her visits and whilst usually timid he warmed towards Martha and enjoyed the attention. I would recommend Martha for cat-sitting and if I need someone to look after Rupert when I am away again I would not hesitate to use Martha.
Really happy with the service Sapphire provided. I received daily updates and photos which put my mind at ease, as I knew Curly was being well looked after. Sapphire was great at communicating and very accommodating with working around schedules when sorting out key handover, as well as helped me out with bringing in a cat food delivery I’d ordered that hadn’t arrived before I left. Would definitely ask Sapphire to look after Curly again the next time I’m away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Blaby on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,077 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Blaby. About 91% of Blaby sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
