About: I’ve had the experience of looking after and caring for my own family dogs and cats growing up and have the trust from friends and neighbours to look after theirs. I am a university student so having the flexibility in hours that pet care offers, gives me the opportunity to do something that I would really love and enjoy doing around my studying. I am also a really active person I go for walks daily and having a little buddy to join me would make those walks a lot more fun. Caring for someone’s pet within their home I make sure that I have the specifics on how they look after their own pet when they are around to ensure a routine is kept as much as possible. I am an energetic person so a lot of playing around but also a lot of snuggles to.
“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!!”
“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!”
About: Worked on an animal farm, in a doggy daycare and at a small pet rescue. I’ve had my own pets throughout my life including many dogs, cats, reptiles and small animals. I have qualifications in level 3 animal management and a pet sitting and dog walking diploma I’m just starting out my own business so I’ll be taking on many clients and have plenty of time for your furry babies. I will have a call with the owner at first to discuss everything I need to know about you and your pet. I will then schedule a free visit to meet you and your pet and have a look around the home (only the rooms I would need to know) and get to know where everything is
“we chose Anya to look after our two dachshunds on our wedding day she was more than happy to walk the dachshunds to our local church in the village on the day so we could get photos of them. They even got the dogs in their little outfits ready for their pictures! The dogs were super happy and got lots of cuddles from her and her friend who joined on the day. She also sent photos throughout the day showing updates of them while we were celebrating at the wedding reception. She was on time and always replied back to her messages my dogs had a great time with her and we was very happy to leave them in her care. I’ll definitely use Anya again in the future 100% would recommend!! Thank you again Anya for looking after our babies on our special day♥️”
About: Hi! I’m Leah and I am 25 years old. I am a reliable, friendly pet sitter, I can provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and updates. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved whilst in my care :) As an emergency service worker, my schedule can vary week to week, but I keep my availability updated regularly and will always communicate clearly about booking times. I’ll do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. All pets in my care will always be supervised and feel safe with me. I’ll make sure they have plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, toilet breaks, and attention, while also respecting their own routines and comfort levels. I have a fur baby of my own, he is super friendly and happy to socialise with other dogs if applicable. I’ve grown up with pets all my life and am aware how to respond to each individuals needs. I am also DBS checked through my work.
“Hollie has been absolutely exceptional in caring for our dog, Bear, who is an older dog and not quick to warm to new people. From the outset, Hollie showed genuine patience, kindness, and understanding, taking the time to build trust at Bear’s pace. Bear is currently on medication for arthritis, and Hollie managed this impeccably throughout the week, ensuring her routine was followed carefully. She adapted wonderfully to Bear’s needs, providing plenty of reassurance, gentle walks, and lots of affection, which made a huge difference to Bear’s comfort and confidence. Hollie stayed in our home for the week, and we returned to find it extremely well cared for—clean, tidy, and clearly respected. We were also kept regularly updated with photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to see the lovely bond developing between them as the week went on. We would not hesitate to recommend Hollie and will absolutely be booking her every time we need care for Bear in the future.”
“Our Mici felt so happy and comfortable with Shania which made our wedding day so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe at home. The flat was left in immaculate condition and she even left us a card and wedding present. We will absolutely use her again and would recommend her to anyone! Thanks again Shania 💖”
About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. My family has had both a Belgian Shepherd and a German Shepherd, which means I'm confident and comfortable with large breeds as well as smaller dogs. We currently have two lovable Bulldogs, and I also regularly help care for my grandmother's two cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that's going for walks, playing, giving them company, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved. I'm also happy to handle feeding, cleaning, and any mess that comes with pet care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail. I know every pet has their own routine, and I always follow owners' instructions carefully so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I’m currently working part time and from home, so I have plenty of free time to look after your dogs or cats. I’m available on weekdays and weekends as well, also very flexible in time. If I would like me to stay over at your house to company your pet I would love to do that, following the owner’s detailed instructions so everything can go smoothly.
About: Hi I'm Amy, I love pets, but I don't have the support network around me at the moment to support me having my own. This is why I would love to offer others the same where I can. I don't have any children or other pets. I have a background in dog training and have had 2 of my own dogs in the past, one with separation anxiety, so I understand how hard this can be. I work from home so I would be able to have a calm dog with me whilst I work to keep them company or pop in to your dog for a walk to get out of the house at lunchtime. I enjoy walking in my spare time and snuggling on the sofa, so it would be nice to offer a dog a home away from home when their owners need a holiday too I work from home most days so would be available to look after a pet at my home in the week and weekends where possible. I have a large garden and an open home for your pet to have the space they need. I will give them the care they expect at home and help where I can with making the experience as stress free as possible. I am very keen to work with you and your pet with any ongoing training requirements too
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 🩷
“Tia was able to help us with house sitting at the last minute when we needed to travel for a funeral. She was incredibly kind and polite and left the house looking neater than she found it! Most importantly she took wonderful care of our two cats, who from all evidence really liked her! She provided frequent updates and sent excellent photos, which, as an anxious pet owner when travelling, I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate for an instant to recommend Tia - she is everything you could possibly want in a cat sitter. Thank you so much Tia!”
About: Hi, I’m a 29-year-old animal lover from Earl Shilton with a huge passion for caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve been walking dogs for friends and family for most of my life, and I’ve also gained experience helping in rescue centres and veterinary practices. I also work part-time in a doggy day care, which has given me even more hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and behaviours. I own horses, cats, and a bearded dragon, and in the past I’ve also cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I hold a Level 2 qualification in Horse Care, I am DBS checked, trained in First Aid, and fully insured for complete peace of mind. I offer reliable dog walking and in-home pet sitting services, treating every animal as if they were my own while carefully following each owner’s routine and instructions. I also have experience caring for sighthounds and have been regularly looking after my friend’s dogs for over a year. Many of my clients own this wonderful breed, including one with additional needs, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and individual care. With my own car, I’m able to travel throughout Leicestershire to provide flexible and dependable pet care services. I currently work part-time in a doggy daycare, which helps me continue building hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My availability is: 🐾 Mondays – fully available 🐾 Tuesday to Thursday – available between split shifts (8:15–10:30am & 3–5pm work commitments) 🐾 Fridays – limited availability due to daycare work 🐾 Weekends & bank holidays – fully available For overnight pet sitting, pets are never left alone overnight, and I return between shifts throughout the day to provide plenty of care, company, exercise, and toilet breaks. I always aim to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, settled, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether that’s sticking to feeding times, favourite walking routes, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and affection throughout my visits. I’m also very respectful of your home and happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in parcels, or opening and closing curtains to help keep everything running smoothly while you’re away.
“Alex was fantastic - immediately clicked with our pooch and took amazing care of the house as well whilst we were away! Great communication throughout and house was left super clean for when we got home 🙌”
“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!”
About: 5 years ago our family got a rescue dog from East Midlands Dog Rescue. He’s a poodle x terrier from Cyprus and has settled in to the family as if he was always here. It took a lot of training for him to be confident with socialising with other dogs as well as getting a good level of recall to let him off lead. I’ve now moved out of my family home and miss the times I got to spend going on walks, bathing him after very muddy walks and being able to shower him with love and treats. I love going on long walks, exploring new places and bumping into other dog owners along the way. I work full time however this is hybrid so a lot of my days can be working from home. I work 9-5 meaning I can do a long walk in the morning, a shorter walk in the middle of the day on my lunch break and then a long evening walk. I’m also available on the weekends for boarding where all of my day can be spent on adventures with your dog or giving them as much fuss and attention as they want Your pet will be the only animal in the house at all times. I have a secure fenced garden that opens out onto a park at the back. I will always meet your preferences so if they are most comfortable in a crate then I can facilitate this as per your request.
About: I am looking for a job that fits me, I enjoy working with animals and have experience with care as I have grown up around dogs my whole life :) I do not currently have a job so pet care fits perfectly into my routine, available all day every day with plenty of time to spend with your dogs! I have a fenced garden with a pond, dogs would be monitored whenever outside. I do not have any crates in my home, or any pets of my own
“First time we have used Rover and also using Courtney. I have to say Courtney was excellent, she sent photos of the dogs and let us know everything was ok. When we got home everything was clean and tidy and the dogs were happy and had obviously been well cared for. Can’t fault anything. Thanks Courtney”
“Jade was fantastic from start to finish. She was warm, friendly and clearly passionate about dogs, which made us feel completely at ease leaving Lexi in her care. We received regular updates throughout the day with photos, and every one of Lexi's care instructions was followed perfectly. It was also lovely to see how quickly Jade built a bond with Lexi, who was clearly happy and comfortable with her. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jade to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Lexi!”

Lisa was a wonderful sitter, taking great care of our girl Teg whilst we were on holiday and our home too. Highly recommend - sent regular photos and updates which was really appreciated and reassuring to us. Thank you Lisa for being so brilliant and caring.
What a treasure Anya is. Anya was has been brilliant with our elderly dog, Milly. We were a little anxious about leaving Milly but Anya gave us regular updates and photos. On our return Milly seeme very content. So pleased to have found Anya and will be calling on her services soon x🐾
Nothing but praise for Helen ! She looked after Bullseye for us in our home and she was amazing ! From the meet and greet we felt Bullseye was going to be safe with her ! It was great to know he was being so looked after while we were away !! Thank you so much Helen ! Bullseye is already looking forward to us going away so you can visit him again !!!
Could not have found anybody better to look after our three dogs whilst we were on holiday. Jayde ensured to update every step of the way and all three were so well loved (and spoilt) in our absence. On return, our home was cleaned from top to bottom and it was lovely to see how happy they all were. We would 100% recommend Jayde (and Sean) and if still available will ensure to book again for our next holiday. Thank you Jayde

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hinckley on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of August 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 Hinckley 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 Hinckley 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.
