“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!!”
“Daisy was superb, she had a pre meet with Bevan, which we really appreciated, and another check in before we went away. She kept us updated on how Bevan was getting on, Bevan has a number of quirks, which Daisy coped with admirably and we returned to a very content dog and a clean house. I would absolutely recommend Daisy and would happily use her again. A well earned 5 stars”
“Jack has been amazing with my cat, when I came home after 3 days everything looked tidy and on top of everything my cat was happy and chilled 🥰😍 I don't think he missed us so much 😅 and it's just because Jack looked after him so well! Thank you again Jack.”
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 🩷
“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. :)”
“Colin and Cris are fantastic. We have just returned from a 2 week holiday overseas and they looked after our 5&1/2 year old Sprocker Eddie. I get concerned about leaving him as he’s a nervous boy as was born during Covid. However Colin and Cris have been amazing with him and so I have been confident while being away that he’s been so well looked after and really happy too. They gave him lots of different walks each day, played with him and gave him plenty of cuddles. We were sent lots of photos and videos while we were away too which was so lovely to receive and so reassuring of how happy Eddie was. I totally recommend Colin and Cris to look after your pets. They are a really lovely couple who look after your dog and their needs incredibly well but also look after your house really well too. We will definitely look to book them again. They’re amazing 🤩 Thanks so much Colin & Cris 😊”
“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!”
“Brilliant again. We just love Richard and Bee. They take great care of our two dogs, and I know they’re in safe hands. Lots of updates, and they always make sure they’ve got everything they need - including feeding our fussy little frenchie and giving her medication. The house is always looked after too, they even brought our bins in for us when they dog sat for the day”
“This was Hannah's first time looking after our fur babies and she was amazing with our boys. She followed all instructions and beyond giving them all the care and love they could possibly have 🥰 lots of updates and pictures which I asked for and Hannah left our home just as clean as when we left. I already have repeat bookings for the future and can highly recommend Hannah for your fur babies too!”
“Alfie did a fab job looking after our 3 dogs and house whilst we were away for a couple of days. Returned to a clean a tidy house and happy dogs. I was given regular updates and he followed the instructions as required.”
“Leanne was absolutely wonderful! From the very first message, she was kind, professional, and so easy to communicate with. During the stay, she kept us updated with lovely messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our doggy was so happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Everything went perfectly, and it’s such a comfort to know we’ve found someone we can trust. X We’ll definitely be booking with Leanne again in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”

“Jiahui was fantastic! Riley is a difficult dog, but she managed to become his friend very quickly. He had a great time with her. I got lots of updates, pictures, so I had a very good time as well, knowing that Riley is in such good hands. Thank you very much, Jiahui and Rover Looking forward to our next meeting!”
“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 !”
“Couldn't be happier with India's service! We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our senior dog Gabby overnight as she's recently gone blind and is still adjusting to our new house. We knew right away that we didn't have to worry as India was very calm, patient, and understanding. She sent me frequent updates and pictures so I could see how Gab was getting on, and we came home to a very happy and well looked after pooch. Highly recommend and will certainly be booking again in the future!”
“Oh Kayan & Alex were fantastic. This was my first time using a service like this and they really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my holiday. I’m very particular, and despite this they were respectful of my home, my cat’s space and needs etc. They had great communication, and so patient throughout. True professionals. I would definitely book them again.”
“What can we say about Martina very friendly and professional went above and beyond really especially for the times she arrived to care for Daisy. Martina is lovely and was very good with Daisy who appeared very happy in the photos that Martina sent to us which reassured us she was being well looked after and Daisy had plenty of excercise. Daisy is very much in the moment when walked Martina was unfazed by this and has taught her some great manners so thanks for that. Daisy loved Martina and had a great time and she was looking for her this morning when we got up so that's a big plus. It was the first time we had left Daisy so was slightly nervous but there was no need she was in good hands and I will definitely be asking for Martina next time we plan a trip. Thanks again Martina your a star.”
“Bethany and Alex looked after our Flatcoated Retriever and our cat for 12 nights. We came back to a very clean house and a very happy but tired (from all the tennis ball throwing) dog :) . Couldn’t have been happier with the service, love and care that our animals and house received! Will definitely be looking to rebook as our first port of call for future holidays!”

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.
