“Absolutely amazing sitter and has put my mind at ease trying to find a reliable and perfect person to watch my fur baby! Always puts my mind at ease and sends updates! I highly recommend!!”
“Maisie was a fabulous sitter for our house and labradoodle. She was punctual and looked after our home and dog as if they were her own. Ruby took to Maisie straight away and we really hope that she can come and sit for us again. Thank you Maisie!”
“Lily was brilliant, continued with the training were currently doing, kept Hugo to his routine well and he obviously enjoyed her company very much. Lily had everything beat and tidy when I returned home, I'd definitely ask Lily to come again”
“Daisy was a great help! Came to help out with us last minute (which is not a small task with dogs, tortoise and geese to babysit!). Our dog Barney looks to have had a lovely time and didn't seem to miss us at all (which can only be a good thing) and the house was nice and tidy on our return. Thanks again Daisy!”
“We could not recommend Beth highly enough! Ty was absolutely besotted with Beth and was so chilled when we returned home from an event. We were sent lots of pictures of Ty to show he was settled and being well looked after. The house was left neat and clean, just as we had left it. Would definitely recommend Beth for anyone requiring pet and/or house sitting. Thank you so much Beth. Will definitely be in touch again if we need a dog sitter.?xx”
“We had Mandy stay at our home for a week while we were away on holiday, and she looked after our two dogs wonderfully. Despite only recently meeting her, the dogs seemed very comfortable and happy in her care, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She kept the house in a clean and tidy, and everything was just as we left it when we returned. We’re really pleased with how it all went and would happily recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve lovingly cared for family and friends’ pets, from Cavapoos, Miniature Schnauzers, and American Bullies to an eight-week-old Cane Corso puppy, gaining hands-on experience with different breeds and young pups. I also owned a Scottish Fold cat named Mochi, which gave me a strong understanding of feline care and behavior. I’ve been an animal lover since I was young and treat every pet with patience, warmth, and genuine care. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available every weekday from 7:00 PM onward for walks, playtime, and evening companionship to make sure your dog or cat feels cared for and never lonely. I also have weekend availability and am happy to help with house sitting or extended pet care during that time. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. My home features a fully secure garden where dogs can play safely. I always maintain a clean, pet-proofed environment to ensure every animal in my care stays happy, healthy, and secure.
“Bethany looked after our 2 dogs at our house this weekend. I was quite nervous as had not used this app previously. She gave us updates on how they were, sent pictures & always replied to messages quickly. She stuck to their routine and looked after our house brilliantly while we were away. We came back to 2 very happy doggies. I would highly recommend Bethany & we will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and cats especially have my heart. I love getting to know each cat’s personality—whether they’re cuddly, curious, or content doing their own thing. I’ve grown up with a grand total of 3 dogs, 7 cats, 4 rabbits, and I now have my own fur baby Ozzie who is a cheeky Norwegian Forest Cat! I have been cat and dog sitting for years before joining Rover. I am DBS cleared and hold the highest level of U.K. government security clearance due to my profession so you can be 100% sure your baby is safe with me. I have dealt with shy and anxious cats, reactive dogs, totally chill dogs and cats, and those that require a lot more attention due to being that extra bit playful! 😻 I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind as a frequent traveller myself, so I care for them with the same love and responsibility I’d expect for my own. As a slightly OCD person, I’m highly attentive to routines, feeding schedules, litter hygiene, and behavioral cues, and I’m comfortable caring for shy, anxious or completely relaxed cats and dogs. I pride myself on being dependable, respectful of your home, and communicative, with regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels as relaxed as normal and loved, until their person returns home 🩷 I currently work from home 3 days a week so available for early morning and afternoon cat drop ins or dog walks. I also am available on weekends. I will meet with you before you go away, to understand your pets needs and routine, to keep it as normal as possible for them and give them the love and attention they need until their person comes home 🩷

“Once again Chris and Colin rise above all other sitters. There is not one trepidation leaving our Husky with them. I almost hate to post this (our own selfish reasons), but book early as their sitting schedule books up well into to new year. You will be glad you did.”

About: Hi, I’m Emmanuel and I’ve had the opportunity to cater to Fur besties for 7 years! I owned 2 dogs back in my country and I have taken care of dogs and cats here in Leicester. I really cherish and value fur besties. I don’t see pet sitting as a chore and I’m able to connect to pets easily. I have a part-time job but I can easily make plans to sit/walk/care for your pets, I’m pretty flexible with my work schedule and I can make room for my fur besties with a 1-day prior notice. I love to think of every pet in my care as mine, accordingly, I give as much love as I can. I’m very much attentive and aware of your pets thus I do a proper scan of their environment every now and then just to make sure they are alright.
“Alex is lovely and the dogs thought so too! Great communication, punctual and professional, but also very caring with the hounds. Left the house immaculate too. We will definitely book with Alex again and can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Alex!”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Blaby
Saffron was amazing with my akita Hunter, she came to meet him prior to looking after him and ensured she knew all relevant information, she was really thorough asking questions around his care. Hunter took to her straight away and was very happy. She provided me with updates on how he was and some photos. Overall I'm really happy and will definitely be rebooking, thank you so much for taking great care of him.
We highly recommend Megan. She did an amazing job looking after our dog and cats while we were away. She was awesome with Patrick, our dog who is a nervous boy and takes time getting to know people. She not only looked after our pets like they were her own but she looked after our home like it was her own. We got updates from her which put our minds at ease and helped us enjoy our trip. We have already booked Megan again for when we go away next month.
Beth looked after Loki for four days and he absolutely loved her. Even our cats came out to socialise and they never greet new people! We were genuinely impressed, and I’d happily recommend Beth to anyone needing someone caring and reliable to look after their furry friends.
As first time user of Rover and never having left our Dog with a sitter before, we were quite nervous on how it would go. However, Ellie was absolutely great - our dog had an amazing time, warmed up to Ellie immediately and looked very happy with her. We were sent frequent updates and pictures, and Peaches was looked after very well. I would 100% recommend Ellie for others wanting a dog sitter and we will be booking with Ellie again in the future. Thank you very much for taking such good care of Peaches! ☺️
Isabelle looked after our 3 dogs for a week while we were away. They were so well looked after, really happy and even the house was kept really tidy (and our dogs make a mess). Would highly recommend Isabelle, she is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and we will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blaby on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Blaby walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Blaby choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
