“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!!”
“Lewis is so lovely with our dog, Snoopy! I instantly felt at ease on meeting him and Snoop has been absolutely thrilled with his walks - so much so, we booked Lewis to do some dogsitting for us and couldn't have asked for better care. You can totally see how much Lewis loves animals, how much time he has for them, and the attention he lavishes on them. Thanks so much, Lewis; highly recommended, we'll be calling again. :)”
“Maisie is a lovely dog sitter - 100% reliable and great communication. The dogs were very happy on our return and Maisie coped brilliantly with them during the recent very hot weather. The house was left neat and tidy too. Thank you Maisie, until the next time!”
About: LEANNO66078 (£30 off your first booking) 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 🩷
“Thank you, Daisy. Lottie was extremely pleased to see you when you arrived, and certainly seemed more than happy about me going away with you there to take care of her. Communication excellent throughout, and arrived exactly on time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone. In fact I already have!”
“Both dogs had a great time and Amanda looked after them so well they were very happy. Our collie had another collie to play with to keep him going all day long !!! Am booking again”
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.
“La garde de mes deux chats s'est très bien passé. Céleste a bien suivi mes instructions, et a passé beaucoup de temps avec eux. C'était la première fois que je les faisais gardé donc j'avais de l'appréhension, mais elle a bien gagné ma confiance !”
“Beth was absolutely fantastic with the dogs especially looking after lilah being disabled. Will definitely be asking beth again to watch the dogs was such a relief knowing they have been well cared for and loved while we was away and will definitely recommend beth to anyone:)”
“Prijesh looked after our 5 month old puppy for a whole day and was professional and kind. Pup had a great day! We really appreciate it, thanks so much!!! Will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover 🐾 and love getting to know each pet’s personality…. whether they’re full of zoomies, a bit shy, or just want cuddles and company. I’ve had my own Whippet and Jack Russell, so I’m used to different sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I also have my own cat, so I understand routines, boundaries and helping pets feel safe and settled 🐶🐱 I studied animal care for a year, volunteered at a dog groomers and have experience with dog walking, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter changes and basic clean-ups. I’m happy to send photo updates and will treat your pet like my own with patience, kindness, care and plenty of compliments! 🥰 My availability varies depending on the service required, but as a general guide: Saturday: flexible all day Sunday: flexible all day Tuesday: 9am–1pm Monday: 6pm–10pm Thursday: 6pm–10pm🐾 Please message me directly with the service, date and times you need, and I’ll be happy to confirm whether I’m available I’ll care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their usual routine as possible. At home, I have a garden for fresh air and toilet breaks, and I also have a cat, so pets staying with me would need to be comfortable around cats. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, litter changes, cuddles and company. If I’m caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and send photo updates if wanted

“As ever, Bethany was a wonderful guardian for Hector and Elsa. Totally reliable and lots of lovely photos of the dogs while we were away. They were clearly relaxed and happy on our return. Thank you again!”
About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.

“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!”
About: What sets me apart is my real, hands-on experience managing many dogs at once. I own four dogs and have cared for twelve family dogs, so I’m confident with different personalities, routines, puppies, and senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Back home, I handle my own dogs with feeding, walks, routines, and providing constant love and attention. I’m an MBA student at Loughborough with a flexible schedule and lots of free time between classes. I really miss my own dogs, so being around pets fits naturally into my day, and I can give them plenty of attention, walks, and care I provide a safe, trusting environment for your dog in your home. I can follow your routines closely and give plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. If needed, I can also crate your dog comfortably. My experience with my own dogs and family dogs ensures your fur baby will feel happy and secure while you’re away.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Blaby
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! ☺️

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.
