“Ivana looked after our Jack Russell/Staffy cross Brian for two nights this week, and she (plus her lovely husband and superb assistant Andrew!) were wonderful with him : ) He's not always the easiest dog to get to know as he can be wary of new people, and Ivana and Andrew showed patience, kindness and humour with him (you need humour with Brian at times!) Needless to say by the time we collected him he had made himself right at home! We're very grateful to them both and are already arranging our next holiday! Thanks so much x”

“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”

“Another great stay at Richard’s. We feel very comfortable to leave our dogs in his care, after a month of multiple stays we see our dogs are happy to go back and stay at Richard’s place. We are getting daily feedback on our dogs day and any queries from us are answered promptly. We definitely go back again for great 😊 doggy day care!”

“I left Sheru with Polly for a month. Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled due to the ongoing county conflict and I couldn’t pick him up after the end of the period. I was really worried about him and didn’t know what to do. I was also concerned about where to leave him as Polly had another appointment. I asked Polly if she could extend the booking and keep Sheru with her. Finally she agreed, we were relieved. She regularly updates me and sends his pictures. I truly appreciate her help and the way she’s taking care of my pet.”


“Milena looked after my dog Kara for a day & night and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent me plenty of updates and photos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. Kara had a wonderful time playing with her dog Sky and her kids, and got lots of cuddles too. Kara is double-coated so struggles in the heat, it was 28 degrees so I was especially impressed that Milena was so thoughtful- she used a cooling blanket and even gave her some frozen blueberries and watermelon to keep Kara comfortable. It’s clear Milena genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’d happily leave Kara with her again and would recommend her without hesitation”

“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!”

“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!”

“Five stars isn't enough for Sotiria! She took care of our dog, Bandit, during the bank holiday, and she was absolutely brilliant. Professional, caring, and Bandit clearly adored her. Kept us well updated and sent lots of cute pictures as well! We're so grateful and will definitely be using her again!”

“It was my first time using the app and I couldn’t be happier. I had lots of updates and was able to relax and felt they were really having the best time. Elizabeth and family welcomed my goblins and were perfect.”

“Aleksandra and her partner did such a wonderful job looking after my 6 month old puppy! I was regularly updated and treated to pictures and videos of all the lovely experiences and interactions they gave him. I would 100% use them again, thank you so much. PS. Their cat is awesome!”

“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”

About: I live with 2 British shorthair (boys) and 1 Schnauzer (girl). And I have real, hands on dog care experience, including raising my own Schnauzer. I am comfortable with both the practical side of dog care and the emotional side, meaning I can handle routines properly while also making sure your dog and cat feels safe, engaged, and relaxed. I am reliable with timings, careful with doors and leads, and I give clear updates. You can expect a sitter who treats your dog and cat like a loved family member❤️ I’m a PhD student and I work from home almost full time. That means I am around for consistent routines, timely feeding, regular toilet breaks, and the kind of steady company that many pets prefer. I am not rushing in and out around a long office day, and I can adapt my day to a pet’s normal rhythm rather than forcing them to adapt to mine. I live in a one bedroom flat and I take home safety and hygiene seriously. I currently have two cats at home and one dog. My dog also spends time with my boyfriend in Birmingham sometimes, so I am very used to adjusting routines smoothly and keeping everyone settled and secure. I run my home in a calm, structured way. Doors and windows are always checked, food is stored safely, and I keep pet areas organised so there is no chaos around bowls, litter, or toys. I am careful about separating spaces when needed, supervising introductions, and making sure every pet has a comfortable place to rest without being bothered. Cleanliness is non negotiable for me. Even with pets in the flat, it stays clean and tidy all the time. I have a consistent routine for litter trays, floor cleaning, wiping surfaces, washing bowls, and keeping fur under control. My cleaner is genuinely impressed every time she comes, which I consider a very serious compliment. Most importantly, I treat trust as something you earn. I follow instructions closely, I do not take risks, and I keep owners updated clearly. Your pet will be cared for in a safe, calm, and well managed home.
“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 genuinely treat every pet like family—caring for them with love, patience, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and keeping up with energetic puppies. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me for regular updates, photos, and peace of mind! I work as a researcher during the day at the University of Leicester, and since I live on my own, pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to enjoy companionship during the evenings and weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals—it’s relaxing, rewarding, and brings a sense of balance to my routine. I’m also currently raising funds for a medical mission trip to Uganda, so pet sitting allows me to contribute to a meaningful cause while doing something I truly enjoy. Your pet will be in caring, responsible hands, and you’ll be supporting a good cause too! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the owner’s home, my approach is always the same: make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to reduce any stress or anxiety. I give each pet plenty of attention and make sure their space is clean and cozy. If I’m in the owner’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect—keeping everything tidy and sending regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Their wellbeing is always my top priority.
Leicester dog owners share their Rover experiences
Holly provided a wonderful service when looking after our black lab Norton. She put my mind at ease immediately when we arranged a meet up before I went ahead with the booking. Holly clearly has a love for animals and is keen to know all the little details about your pet so that she can ensure an enjoyable stay is had. We will definitely be using Holly again without hesitation.

My Lola had never stayed away from the family before, but she immediately bonded with Jyoti and Alo (the house dog). Jyoti is very kind, attentive, and spends a lot of time with the pets in her care. During Lola’s 5-day stay with Jyoti, I received frequent updates and photos showing how Lola spent her days. She has a spacious area and a lovely garden where the pets can run around freely. I can highly recommend Jyoti.

Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾

I would highly recommend Alexandros!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lola settled in rather quickly which was great to know since there was no meet and greet and she was meeting Alexandros for the first time when being dropped off! He understood her behaviours beforehand and knew exactly what to do to make her feel calm, comfortable and safe around him and new surroundings as she can be anxious and reactive at times. Communication was easy right from the initial enquiry and he was very responsive in a timely manner and also kept me updated on Lola's time with him and shared pics also! Thank you so much once again for looking after Lola Alexandros and also for understanding her needs and being so flexible!! Really appreciate it!! Lola looks forward to seeing you again!! ☺️

Aleksandra was fantastic! Very easy to communicate with and stayed in touch regularly every day with updates on our pup’s day which made us smile. She also was happy to pick him up which made a big difference to us as we couldn’t drive. Aleksandra is clearly an animal lover and made our dog feel very welcome even when he was a little wobbly on the first night. She played games with him and took him out for walks as well as introducing him to friends. You could tell he was having the best time! We would definitely recommend her and book again. Thank you Aleksandra. :)

We left our Yorkie Loki with Maria for 4 days, and he was very happy there. Maria took care of him exceptionally well, ensuring he slept, ate, and exercised enough. We were worried, as Loki has never stayed with a stranger away from us for any period of time, but despite this being a first for him, he has been happy and well taken care of. I am extremely grateful to Maria for this, and we will most definitely go to Maria again whenever we need a sitter for our baby.

Sophie has looked after Zelda for us before and we didn't hesitate in asking Sophie to look after her again. Sophie kept us well updated, with lots of great photos, and has cared for Zelda brilliantly - taking her for lots of walks, to a dog park and lots of other great things to do. We wouldn't ask anybody else to care for Zelda now! Thank you.

couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Anastasis kept me updated the whole time with pics and messages, was super on top of everything, and didn’t hesitate to ask any questions. Teddy was happy, well looked after and got lots of walks and attention. he was also really accommodating and willing to help with anything if needed. would 100% trust him again.

Avgi once again looked after Gizmo, and I can only say that she is just absolutely brilliant, Gizmo I know was looked after so well, when I dropped Gizmo off yesterday morning Saturday 14th, she asked a few questions as just to make sure that Gizmos needs and routine was met, I really admire Avgi and the job she does in looking after your pet. Well done Avgi and thank you for looking after Gizmo for me, I have no worries at all 👍🐶❤️xx

Anna is absolutely amazing with pet care. I left my almost 6 months old puppy with Anna for a weekend and she's so patient and caring. Sends me regular updates and Kenji loves it with her, her family and the family dog. Anna's children also help and play with Kenji. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping Kenji with Anna, often.
