“Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
About: I’m a caring, trustworthy and patient pet sitter with experience caring for puppies, senior dogs and post-operative dogs who need extra attention and gentle support. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I provide a calm, clean and loving home environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods maximum 2-3hrs only when necessary and I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks and rest based on their individual routine and energy levels. I’m confident caring for energetic puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior or recovering dogs who may require a slower pace, medication support, or extra comfort. I carefully follow all owner instructions to maintain routines and ensure pets feel settled and secure. Safety is always my top priority. Although I do not have a fully fenced yard, all outdoor time and walks are closely supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on leash when outside. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if caring for multiple dogs at once to ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe. It is really rare that I will look after multiple dogs at once as I do prefer to look after one dog so I can provide him a safe place and comfort, unless it's from the same household. I know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give owners peace of mind throughout the stay. In the event of any emergency or concern, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary care if needed. I am currently undertaking a first aid course for dogs. For safety reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to give them the love, care and attention they deserve. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with the pets I look after. I understand how important routine, attention, and patience are when it comes to animal care. Each pet is unique, and I always do my best to understand their personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care. I care for pets in my home in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in an apartment with access to a large, secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised play and exercise off lead, but only with the owner's permission. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I always follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, sleep, and any special requirements. Throughout their stay, pets receive plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and regular exercise to help them feel comfortable and at home. I'll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Chang is such a lovely person and it was clear from the first meeting that she was a perfect fit for my dog Nacho. She had him for 8 nights and gave several daily updates throughout that time. I could see how happy he was and really comforted our family while we were away. She took care of him like he was her own and for this I am most appreciative. She made sure he was comfortable, happy and well cared for. Any special instructions were followed and updates given too. Thank you Chang.”
“Lovely dog sitter! She kept me updated with pictures throughout and was really accommodating, even letting me drop Ralph off earlier than originally planned. Ralph had the best time and came home very happy! Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much! 🐶😊”
“We can’t thank or praise Rob and Hayley enough for the loving and dedicated care given to Molly and Murphy last week, who clearly enjoyed their 2nd stay, this time for 8 nights. We have no hesitation in recommending them.”
About: Dogs have been my whole world. I've raised everything from sausage dogs to German Shepherds, adopted a retired police dog, and even had three large dogs under my roof at once. I can handle any breed with confidence. Based on Vaughan Way in Leicester city centre, your pup will enjoy daily adventures exploring Abbey Park and the riverside. I don't do rigid routines. I follow your dog's lead and adapt to their personality - whether they're shy, bouncy, or super clever. I match their energy every step of the way. Your dog gets my full attention because I have no other pets at home. Plenty of space to run, and they are treated like royalty. Bonus: Every stay includes a free professional photoshoot. I use my professional camera to take beautiful, bright, sunny photos of your pet for you to keep forever. I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging! Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my first time using the app! Holly looked after my Winnie for 5 days and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She gave me regular updates, took him on lovely walks, and even treated him to a new toy, which he adored! Most importantly, she was so reassuring and responsive, which really helped ease my nerves about leaving him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave Winnie, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Wish we could give 10 stars! What can we say about Steve and his care of our precious but super lively bundle of fun? From the moment we contacted Steve, he has been great at communication, we had an initial meeting- within seconds we could tell Steve is a man who loves dogs. The outstanding behaviour of his own dog, Laszlo shows he has great knowledge. When Storm stayed with Steve for a week, we had regular, twice daily updates, photos and videos, and could easily tell the our Storm was content and having a great time. Without any doubt at all we will ask Steve to step in again when we are looking for someone to look after our boy, I have total confidence in him and his family, who all welcomed Storm into their home. Thanks, Steve, it has made all the difference going away feeling confident our boy will be having a great holiday too!”
“We had a great experience with Maria taking care of our potato, Rupert. She was responsible, communicative, and very loving toward him. It was clear that Rupert felt comfortable and happy with her. Maria gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Kyriakos and Stella looked after my Lucky so well. Great communication throughout his stay with them. He stayed for 7 nights. Thankyou to both for making him feel comfortable, safe and entertained.”
“I left my dog Gizmo with Avgi for the night and I have to say at first I was nervous as I did not know how Gizmo would be but Avgi reassured me the moment she took his lead that I knew he was going to be looked after so well and that Gizmo would be happy staying with Avgi, I have to say she is a wonderful pet sitter and kept me informed of how he was doing and kept me posted about his general wellbeing and this made me so happy that all was fine and well and that Gizmo was happy in his environment with Avgi. I hope to book again sometime when the need arises. Anybody that needs a sitter for their beloved pets loom no further than Avgi as she is totally dedicated, loves to be with your pet and treats them as she would her own. I was really grateful for all Avgi did for Gizmo and for my own peace of mind in my view he went from a home to another home and settled in lovely and that had to be the attentive care given by Avgi to make his stay very comfortable and all this was achieved. Thank you so much Avgi, you are a real star and a brilliant asset to what you do. Brilliant, keep up the great work what you do 🙏❤️🐶”
“I can't thank Amanda enough for looking after our baby muddles,I was so relieved knowing that Amanda and her family were having fun with our baby and I could tell that muddles enjoyed every minute of his stay,I had multiple daily updates of muddles having fun and doing everything that he does at home so that is huge .I would recommend Amanda a 💯 and I will definitely use her help again .Thank you Amanda”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
“Really amazing person . Always keeping me update about my puppy by sending me pics of him. Blaze was so happy and comfortable with him. He did a great job with blaze. I’m gonna keep my dog with him whenever I need someone to look after blaze. Thanks again”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Polly was so lovely and accommodating. Made a real effort with our dog. He wanted to stay when we went to pick him up!!! Will certainly be staying with Polly again if she’s available.”

“Blake helped me out last minute when I was going away for my Easter break. It was my first time leaving my kittens at home so I was really anxious but she kept me updated, uploaded lots of pictures with every visit and was amazing to deal with. We had an issue with the digital key I gave her meaning she had to ask receptionists to let her in during every visit which is extremely frustrating however she was super understanding about it. I would 100% book Blake again next time I go away. Thank you so much Blake!!”

“Kelly was fab with the cats and sent photos which I love. Fairly sure Linus was disappointed it was me walking through the door when I came back! Thanks for taking such good care of him and Porsche, so happy to see Porsche getting involved in her twilight years!”
“Probably the 6th review I’ve left for Lois! I will always use Lois when she is available for my baby Ozzie, he loves her just as much as I love to have her look after him. She is amazing, communicates everything and can tell she has a real passion and care towards pets she is sitting ❤️”
“She was very wonderful and caring with our bunnies. Even our aggressive bun took a liking to her and she bought them a gift before she left. She went above and beyond and I couldn't have asked for anything more from a sitter.”

I know cats can be stubborn sometimes but treats or favorite snacks can do magic :D
“I’m very grateful for Aleksandra’s service. This is the first time using a boarding service as I needed someone to look after my cat and I’m grateful she looked after my cat. In the end, Shaka became close to her cat Richard! Im very grateful for all the updates and I was able to collect him successfully. I would definitely use her service again next if needed.”

“Gemesia was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! Immediately put me at ease seeing how gentle she was with Kiki at our meet and greet, as Kiki is quite timid initially.

Thank you so much Gemesia!! Kiki is looking forward to further visits from you in future ☺️.”

About: We have always had dogs. I love taking care of them (and if I could I would have 100)! Whether it’s energetic pups who love long walks, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, or shy pets who require patience and reassurance, I adapt my care to each dog’s unique needs. I understand the importance of trust when it comes to your furry family member, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working full-time so my flexibility is limited through week days. However I am fully flexible on weekends and more than happy to take care of any furry angels! I live by myself in a flat which is spacious enough for small and medium dogs. We have a backyard where the dog can play and I love taking the dogs on walks. No one will be involved in dogs’ care but me.
“Couldn’t fault Alexandros, took Lulu on so last minute, she’s also in season and was wearing a nappy so she didn’t bleed all over the house and he took it off so she was more comfortable. Gave me constant updates throughout the day! Will book again”
About: A bit about me: I had a beloved dog, Mely, for 10 years. When Mely fell ill, I was by her side every step of the way, ensuring her comfort and well-being. This experience gave her a deep understanding of prioritizing a pet’s health and happiness. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, I adore every single one of them. For the past 10 years, Veris, my oldest cat, has been a cherished member of the family. I've also rescued and cared for an injured stray cat, covering all the veterinary costs to nurse it back to health. Hello! I'm Kyriakos, Master’s student at DMU and passionate animal lover. As pet enthusiast I'm here to make life easier for you and your furry family members.

“This was the first time we'd used Richard and Bea and as first time dog owners we were a little bit apprehensive as to how Buster would be away from us. We needn't have worried as they are a lovely couple they kept updating us with messages, pictures and a video as to how he was doing. Will definitely use again.”
About: Hi there! I'm an experienced pet sitter and walker, as well as owner, and have always done it as a favor since I love all kinds of animals and have had some friends who needed somewhere to leave their pets sometimes. I decided to make it professional to help whoever needs a little extra help! I've had pets all my life and was always good with them. At my flat I only have one cat, Nala. I'd love to petsit your cat/dog or take them for walks, making sure to keep them company and provide toilet breaks whenever needed, as well as play and relax a lot! If your pet has any special needs, please tell me, I'll gladly accept and cherish them! I'll also gladly take photos of the walk/daycare with your pet and keep you updated throughout the day! (: Currently working full-time and a Photographer but still looking after your little ones whenever possible! Limited availability but I'm more than happy to help (: Currently not offering boarding services but I can drop in at yours for either a quick check in or a day of fun and relaxation! I usually have some work to do or shows to watch so if your pet is a laid back one, I'll have no problem just chilling with them (:
“Sotiria is amazing! She is so kind and treats our little Archie with such care. She picked him up and took him to her place when we were away and was available on short notice when something unexpected came up. Archie adores her and she feeds him and sends lots of updates and pics. 5 stars :)”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who had no one. I have hands-on experience caring for 9–12 dogs daily, including feeding, walking, playing and providing basic medical care. In India, I was responsible for looking after stray dogs—ensuring they were safe, healthy, and never hungry. This taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different dog behaviours, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve handled: Daily walks and exercise routines Feeding schedules and hygiene care Basic medication and health monitoring Dogs with different temperaments and needs I truly love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Now based in UK, I’m excited to give the same level of care and dedication to your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate: Morning, afternoon, and evening walks Last-minute bookings Regular daily walks or long-term care I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can tell my own experience- Before relocating to the UK, I ensured that all the dogs I cared for were responsibly handed over to local authorities so they would continue receiving proper food, medical care, and protection. I take long-term responsibility seriously and always put the well-being of animals first.
“Ivana and her husband are so friendly and welcoming. Their home is beautiful with a gorgeous garden. Buddy enjoyed his visit today and is looking forward to future stop overs 🥰”
About: I have cat sitted several times over the last few years for other owners and thoroughly enjoy it! I have also dog sitted and walked dogs of all sizes. I offer services from dog and also cat boarding to drop in visits/house sitting and dog walking. I have a family pet cat who I adore so much! I adopted Milo since he was 10 weeks old and he always makes me smile everyday. (He does live with my family) if I were to look after your cat or dog I could either attend to them where they live or to my flat (where I live alone with no pets) I enjoy being around cats and although I have not had dogs as a pet before, I have been around friends who do have some. I think having pets always cheers people up as they’re full of life. I groom my cat, bathe him, comb his hair, clean his food tray, litter and also feed him twice daily. I have dog and cat sitted before so have experience doing both. Please get in touch and feel free to ask any questions!

I would also be interested in house sitting, cat or dog sitting, day care and also walking. Can take last minute bookings and if needed my services for a longer period of time more than a week, I could negotiate the rate. Currently working for the NHS but over the holiday Christmas period I’m available to sit. I could work around my schedule. I genuinely love pets and it’s nice to unwind to have a little play time and to care for them. I have a family cat that if full of energy, loves going out to play in the garden! Everyday is a routine when looking after Milo and first thing making sure his food bowl is cleaned and he is fed.. grooming everyday as his hair sheds a lot. Days consist of lots of cuddles and neck scratches and making sure he is well looked after.

“I honestly can’t thank Elly enough for taking such amazing care of Albert. He’s a Border Collie x Lab and quite a nervous dog, and this was the first time he’s ever been left away from me, so I was really anxious about it. Elly was absolutely brilliant from start to finish – so patient, kind and understanding with him. I got regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease, and it was clear Albert was in safe hands. When I picked him up after Monday to Friday, he was happy, settled and comfortable, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elly to anyone, especially if you have a nervous dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs. I have an 8 year-old Yorkshire Terrier (very calm and friendly). I've cared lots of dogs belong to my friends and family and always try to do everything to make them feel comfortable and happy in my home. I pay attention to their safety and well-being. I always try not to change the dogs habits and adapt to their daily routine. I'd be happy to care for your dog providing age-appropriate activities and playtime as well as sleep and rest when needed. It's important to me to thoroughly understand your dog's needs and adapt to them. I believe that socializing a dog is very important. If your pet likes children and other dogs, he'll have the opportunity to play with them in my house, always under adult supervision. If you prefer, I can isolate my dog while your pet is in my home and if you wish I can be the only person in contact with him. I will make sure your best friend doesn't feel lonely and give him lots of love and attention while you're away. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. When I am at work my partner is home, so the dog is never left alone. I can take care of dogs during the day and at night. I have a big fenced yard and a safe and quiet area to walk the dog. There is a small doggie at home who will keep the other dog company. The stairs are secured and the place where the dog will stay. The house and my dog are protected against fleas and ticks. If necessary, I can separate my dog while the new dog is staying. My children knows how to behave around dogs from an early age and don't overwhelm them with their presence.
“It was Buddy's first time with Sonia (and Bailey) and he was completely at home from the moment he arrived. Sonia sent updates and photos throughout the day so I could see Buddy was really settled and having fun. I would definitely recommend Sonia and we have already rebooked for a day next month.”

At the moment, I am currently working part-time on Fridays and Saturdays, meaning I’m free in the week to help out with your fur babies!! If I am needed to go into your home and look after your doggies, I will always make sure they feel at ease and comfortable whilst I am in their home. I’ll make sure to give them lots of affection and treats if allowed. 🐾
About: Dogs have been my whole world. I've raised everything from sausage dogs to German Shepherds, adopted a retired police dog, and even had three large dogs under my roof at once. I can handle any breed with confidence. Based on Vaughan Way in Leicester city centre, your pup will enjoy daily adventures exploring Abbey Park and the riverside. I don't do rigid routines. I follow your dog's lead and adapt to their personality - whether they're shy, bouncy, or super clever. I match their energy every step of the way. Your dog gets my full attention because I have no other pets at home. Plenty of space to run, and they are treated like royalty. Bonus: Every stay includes a free professional photoshoot. I use my professional camera to take beautiful, bright, sunny photos of your pet for you to keep forever. I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging! Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
About: I have experience house sitting both cats and dogs, walking dogs, and some general grooming upkeep (baths & brush, all natural pet safe suds). I have two cats myself and grew up with dogs and walking them in my home town. I love being around animals and having it as my job is honestly just a fun time for me! I currently have an open schedule. I will notify ahead of time about 1-3 months in advance if I have plans madea that interferes with my availability. I love having knowledge of emergency vets in my area just incase. I make sure to know safe routes for pets to walk as I know the ground can have a lot of litter. I am working towards getting pet cpr certified and getting a pet specific first aid kit ( I carry a normal one with me with tweezers and gauze). I will always understand the requirements of the pet parent and follow the needs to a T or to the best of my ability.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have always loved animals. I grew up with a Weimaraner from the age of 4, and since then I’ve gained many years of hands-on experience with different breeds and personalities. I’ve looked after my brother’s German Shorthaired Pointer since he was a puppy and he turns 5 this November. I’ve lived with and had responsibility for two Pugs from puppyhood for around four years, and a Cockapoo for five years into older age. I’ve also spent time looking after my godmother’s elderly mixed-breed dog, who has some Jack Russell in him, as well as friends’ dogs on occasions when they’ve needed a helping hand. This has included breeds ranging from Dachshund to Greyhound. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual character. I’m patient, attentive and responsible, and would treat your dog as if they were my own. I also love wildlife photography, so being outdoors and around animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very comfortable meeting new people and building a rapport, having spent many years working in customer-facing roles and performing. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable with the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always keep owners updated and communicate openly. I currently have plenty of flexibility during the week and can fit pet care around your dog’s routine. My weekend availability can vary, but I’m happy to discuss specific dates and find what works best for you and your pet. Your dog’s safety and comfort would always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs, and will follow your instructions carefully. I’m also happy to keep you updated during walks or visits so you know how your dog is doing.
About: I've grown up around animals my entire life, raising and caring for cats since age five. In addition to lifelong cat ownership, I have two years of hands-on experience living with and caring daily for a high-energy Labrador. Friends, family, and neighbors rely on me for feeding, play, walks, and attentive daily care. As a university student with a light timetable of mostly half-days, my routine is exceptionally flexible. I can easily drop by throughout the day for check-ins, feeds, and walks, or give your pets dedicated attention in the afternoons and evenings. I treat every owner's home and pet with complete respect and care. When sitting, I strictly follow your existing household rules, feeding routines, and security instructions. I keep open communication with regular updates and photos so you can rest easy knowing your pets and home are in safe, responsible hands.
About: I’ve been caring for my cousin’s dogs for years and have my own dog who’s been with me for over 10 years. I’ve gained a lot of experience understanding different temperaments, routines and needs whether it’s keeping playful dogs entertained or making sure older pets are comfortable and cared for. I treat every dog like my own with patience love and attention to detail. I’m currently studying at university, but I have lots of free days and love spending that time caring for animals. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow the owners instructions, keep a close eye on the pets at all times and make sure their environment is secure and stress-free. I believe trust is built through consistency, patience, and genuine care.
About: I’m a caring, trustworthy and patient pet sitter with experience caring for puppies, senior dogs and post-operative dogs who need extra attention and gentle support. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I provide a calm, clean and loving home environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods maximum 2-3hrs only when necessary and I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks and rest based on their individual routine and energy levels. I’m confident caring for energetic puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior or recovering dogs who may require a slower pace, medication support, or extra comfort. I carefully follow all owner instructions to maintain routines and ensure pets feel settled and secure. Safety is always my top priority. Although I do not have a fully fenced yard, all outdoor time and walks are closely supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on leash when outside. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if caring for multiple dogs at once to ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe. It is really rare that I will look after multiple dogs at once as I do prefer to look after one dog so I can provide him a safe place and comfort, unless it's from the same household. I know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give owners peace of mind throughout the stay. In the event of any emergency or concern, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary care if needed. I am currently undertaking a first aid course for dogs. For safety reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to give them the love, care and attention they deserve. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with the pets I look after. I understand how important routine, attention, and patience are when it comes to animal care. Each pet is unique, and I always do my best to understand their personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care. I care for pets in my home in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in an apartment with access to a large, secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised play and exercise off lead, but only with the owner's permission. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I always follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, sleep, and any special requirements. Throughout their stay, pets receive plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and regular exercise to help them feel comfortable and at home. I'll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: After my westie passed away 8yrs ago, it took me a while to figure what I wanted to do with my life, I’d lived with various dog breeds and cared for them, so the natural path for me to pursue was working with animals, this bought me great happiness and joy, it healed my heart. This is my full time calling, I dog walk on certain days and diary allowing I pet sit, I cover Leicester but I also do ad hoc sits. I always do a meet and greet, get a full history of the pets, walk them with the owner. I get a full rundown of the home. Typical questions: age, breed, allergies, medication, walks, food & treats, vets details, where they sleep, when they were last groomed and vaccinations.
“Received a highly professional and reliable service with Tee. She picked my dog up for a walk whilst I was on holiday on the scheduled days with no problems and kept me updated after every walk. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in great hands and my dog so looked forward to seeing her. I would recommend and will certainly be using again.”

Just let me know when suits you best :) I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. In my home, pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if required), and any special care instructions to help pets feel relaxed and secure. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I respect their home and maintain the pet’s normal routine to minimise stress. I ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and enrichment, clean up after pets, and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and wellbeing and would promptly contact the owner or a veterinarian if I noticed any signs of illness or an emergency. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I take this job seriously. I can also train dogs but the simple tasks using treats for this I’m currently a university student. But my timetable is very flexible. I can do also weekends which are more suitable and more free for me. I love going on walks throughout the city and if i had company by a dog that would be really good. The safety of your dogs is my number one priority and i would never risk or do anything that can harm you or your dog.
About: I had a dog back home for over five years, and he was such a big part of my life. I really miss having that companionship and joy, especially the little moments that make each day brighter. That’s why I signed up for Rover—to bring that feeling back and spend time with dogs again. Also I’ve taken care of pets back at my home country. I have looked after many of my friends and family members dogs. What makes me different is that I will try my best to keep your pet happy. When I study I stay home and I have plenty of time to watch your pet and give it what it needs, anytime it needs it High windows create a safe environment for a pet, plenty of doors to stop a pet from escaping. And I am always close to it to watch it
“Martina is fantastic 😊 Our dog Ted loves her. She gives him a good sensory walk and then plays with him afterwards. She is always on time, super friendly and really knowledgeable. I am delighted to recommend Martina - we are lucky to have found her 😁”
“The lovely Nadia, and her equally lovely daughter, walked Stan for me this morning, and did such a great job! It was my first time using this app, and she really put me at ease. They popped round to meet Stan the day before (and got on like a house on fire), so he was mega excited to see them again this morning! I'll definitely be hiring Nadia again, and would highly recommend her services! Stanley has 2 new best friends :)”

“Wish we could give 10 stars! What can we say about Steve and his care of our precious but super lively bundle of fun? From the moment we contacted Steve, he has been great at communication, we had an initial meeting- within seconds we could tell Steve is a man who loves dogs. The outstanding behaviour of his own dog, Laszlo shows he has great knowledge. When Storm stayed with Steve for a week, we had regular, twice daily updates, photos and videos, and could easily tell the our Storm was content and having a great time. Without any doubt at all we will ask Steve to step in again when we are looking for someone to look after our boy, I have total confidence in him and his family, who all welcomed Storm into their home. Thanks, Steve, it has made all the difference going away feeling confident our boy will be having a great holiday too!”
“I can't thank Amanda enough for looking after our baby muddles,I was so relieved knowing that Amanda and her family were having fun with our baby and I could tell that muddles enjoyed every minute of his stay,I had multiple daily updates of muddles having fun and doing everything that he does at home so that is huge .I would recommend Amanda a 💯 and I will definitely use her help again .Thank you Amanda”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“Polly was so lovely and accommodating. Made a real effort with our dog. He wanted to stay when we went to pick him up!!! Will certainly be staying with Polly again if she’s available.”
“Amazing communication, through out! Eugene had the best time staying over, and was a very happy puppy when he came home. Lots of fab photos of walks, cuddles, and play. Richard and Bee clearly both love dogs and know a lot about them! Would definitely rebook!”
“Elly was absolutely brilliant with my greyhound Nev- he had such a good time with Dolly and friends that he was reluctant to leave when I came to pick him up!! I received regular updates throughout and would absolutely book Nev in with Elly again!”
“Agniezska has been amazing. She made my fur baby feel at home, pampered him and he settled with her very quickly. My fur baby had a great time and I will not hesitate to rebook Agniezska again.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Bethany provided! Milo was so happy and settled the entire time he was with her. We appreciate her brilliant service a lot and would definitely recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a reliable dogsitter.”
“Thank you so much Milena. I was worried to leave Maisie as she’s not been away before but she had the best time and I don’t think she wanted to come home! Milena sent lots of picture updates so I could see what she was up to. Will definitely rebook in the future. ❤️”
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
“Ria was a fantastic dog sitter for our pooches. She was accommodating, flexible and they clearly loved spending time with her. Ria kept me in the loop with what they were getting up to, with plenty of pictures too. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Thank you Ria!”
“Dimitra and Family were the perfect hosts for my Lily whilst I was away with work. Communication from the point of enquiry was always great and I had the pleasure of being able to visit Dimitra and Family at their home prior to making the booking, which left me well at ease and I was greatful to be able to see where Lily would be staying whilst I was away. Throughout my time away, Dimitra sent me regular updates, along with pictures, detailing Lily's daily activities etc which really helped to keep my mind at ease. It was my first time leaving lily for a prolonged period of time but Dimitra really took the time to make sure that Lily was really well cared for. I would highly recommend Dimitra to anyone looking for a comfortable stay for their furry friend and will certainly be using Dimitra again. Lily had the BEST time! Thank you again so much!”
About: I have cat sitted several times over the last few years for other owners and thoroughly enjoy it! I have also dog sitted and walked dogs of all sizes. I offer services from dog and also cat boarding to drop in visits/house sitting and dog walking. I have a family pet cat who I adore so much! I adopted Milo since he was 10 weeks old and he always makes me smile everyday. (He does live with my family) if I were to look after your cat or dog I could either attend to them where they live or to my flat (where I live alone with no pets) I enjoy being around cats and although I have not had dogs as a pet before, I have been around friends who do have some. I think having pets always cheers people up as they’re full of life. I groom my cat, bathe him, comb his hair, clean his food tray, litter and also feed him twice daily. I have dog and cat sitted before so have experience doing both. Please get in touch and feel free to ask any questions! Thank you I am on here to look after cute pets that need taking care of and would be more than happy to help out the owner. I would describe myself as someone who is caring and outgoing. I currently reside in Leicester near Glenfield and they’re are a lot of nice parks nearby for the doggies (also me). I would also be interested in house sitting, cat or dog sitting, day care and also walking. Can take last minute bookings and if needed my services for a longer period of time more than a week, I could negotiate the rate. Currently working for the NHS but over the holiday Christmas period I’m available to sit. I could work around my schedule. I genuinely love pets and it’s nice to unwind to have a little play time and to care for them. I have a family cat that if full of energy, loves going out to play in the garden! Everyday is a routine when looking after Milo and first thing making sure his food bowl is cleaned and he is fed.. grooming everyday as his hair sheds a lot. Days consist of lots of cuddles and neck scratches and making sure he is well looked after.
“Levi looked to have a great time, I received lots of photos of Levi on walks and relaxing with lots of toys and dogs to play with. Will certainly reach out when I need another sitter. Thanks for having him and providing a great week for Levi”
