About: With years of experience raising and training two dogs from puppies (8 weeks old), I am calm and reliable and will provide a caring environment for your pet. I have lots of free time and I can build trust with your pets and reinforce good behaviour, and tailor care to each dogs personality and needs. Whether that’s walks, playtime or just keeping your dog company- your pet will be part of the family, ensuring they are well looked after whilst you are away I’m available full time as I am a home maker. Weekday or weekends. I have a great routine and take our fur baby to the park daily for two walks a day. I am very active and love looking after pets. I have a large fenced garden and a fur baby to keep your pet great company. We have lots of room and have experience with crates which can easily be accommodated if needed.
“Well done Ellie. On my return I found happy and healthy cats, what more could I want!! The photos she sent were lovely. The cats had their play time, she didn’t just feed them and go. They were very content when I got back so I must highly recommend Ellie for her cat sitting skills”
About: I’ve always been around animals but dogs have always had my heart. My sister and I got our pup Nala in 2023 when she was just 8 weeks old which feels like forever ago and like yesterday at the same time. Loosing teeth, medication, emergency vet appointments, potty training, heat cycles, I’ve done it all ! And confident in my ability to care for your fur baby I’m currently at uni studying paramedic science and love every bit of it. Demanding course so I’m normally free weekends and weekdays but after 4pm I care for dogs in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow their routine, give them plenty of walks, playtime, and love, and make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away.
About: Since I was young, I’ve been surrounded by all different types of dog breeds! (I even have a dog myself). I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am very patient and believe that all animals deserve the best physical and emotional care. 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. 🐾
“Brilliant, cats were calm and happy when we returned. Barely noticed we had been away. Barbara loves animals and does all she can to make sure they are in their routine while you are away”

Saturday, Sunday all day I have a fenced yard and a loving dog to take care off called Eric he is very playful and loves to mess around, I love playing with animals. He regularly goes on 3 walks a day and he’s very energetic

“Dilsathnisha was so kind and attentive to my two cats during the week. She sent lovely updates and was responsive with messages too. I felt relaxed and comfortable leaving my cats with her and would definitely book again!”

“Excellent service, my cats were very relaxed when I came home. I was given detailed updates every visit with accompanying photos. Very pleased and would use Anya again. Highly recommended !”

About: Hi! My name is River, and I am an experienced pet-sitter with clients in both England and Australia. I am a qualified nurse, but have also worked in an award-winning doggy daycare in London. I am used to working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I can administer oral medication. I am an extremely safe and loving carer, and I go above and beyond to make sure your precious furbaby is cared for and happy. I never leave them for long periods of time, but choose instead to include them in every aspect of my day, whether that's going out for a coffee and 'puppuccino' or having a cuddle in front of a movie! As well as dogs I am happy to petsit other animals. I am also happy to provide references from previous clients, feel free to ask. I look forward to hearing from you :) Having recently moved back to England from a year in Australia, I am not currently working which means I am free to do what I love most - petsit! I am free on weekdays and weekends. Whenever I petsit in someone else’s home I always have the utmost respect for their home. I am clean, tidy, and leave as if I’ve never been there! I have always had excellent references from satisfied customers who have really appreciated not only the care I have shown to their furbabies but also the care I’ve given to their home.
About: I truly treat every pet as if they were my own with patience, affection and close attention to their unique needs. What sets me apart is my calm and reliable nature, especially with pets that may be anxious or need extra reassurance. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who require gentler handling and a slower pace. I’m attentive to routines, medication needs and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. Pet care fits into my routine perfectly as I currently work part-time, usually between 5pm and 11pm. This means I’m available during the day for walks or extended visits. I enjoy starting my mornings with pet care whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. On my days off, I’m also flexible with longer daytime care. When doing dog walks or home visits, I always prioritise the pet’s safety, comfort and routine. I make sure collars and harnesses are secure before walks, avoid unsafe or overly busy areas, and adjust the pace based on the dog’s energy level and needs. During home visits, I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and fresh water to playtime or just some company. I respect your space and make sure everything is locked and secure when I leave. I also send updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is well cared for.

“It was so lucky to have Shannon taking care our cats, she is really responsible, caring, and responsive. It was a great relief as it was the first time we left our cats more than 2 days. Our cats immediately bonded with her. We can’t wait to have her cut Alex’s nails once her training is completed! Definitely will contact Shannon for our next trip!”

About: I have owned dogs for over 8 years and now work with dogs as my career. I am a Canicross coach and have taught many different dogs in the sport. I provide ad hoc care for friend’s dogs and have experience in dealing with various behavioural needs. As a Canicrosser I can also provide short (suitable to your dog) runs in place of walking, please request if interested I am a self employed running and Canicross coach with 2 dogs of my own, and am therefore in the home a lot . My partner is a fire firefighter and therefore shift work means he is in the home for long periods of time, although whilst in the home he will never left with sole care of any dogs - rest assured they will remain my responsibility at all times. I have a toddler who visits his father regularly and therefore will offer pet care during hours and days / nights that he is not here. I have high exercise need dogs and am used to ensuring they have all of their needs met I have a small fenced garden and 2 of my own dogs living in the house. Any dogs staying will likely be with me at all times but any requirement of me leaving the house will be agreed with the owner before booking completion, and the dog staying will not be left alone with my own dogs.
About: I’ve had so many dogs (pets) In my life time, from pitbulls to Pomeranian and so on. I’ve been taking care of them for about 10 years now but I recently moved so my pets are with my parents. I train the dogs with doggy snacks and so on. I just love them and this is my way of reconnecting with my dogs back home 🥹. I do have university classes from Monday- Wednesday, but I’m free throughout and I’d love to be around animals. And as a university student I’m looking forward to making money through animals ☺️. Currently I’m not allowed to have animals in this accommodation, I’d rather have them outside, but at a pets owner home, I’ll feed them give them snacks, play with them, and clean after them.
About: I own a seven-year-old West Highland Terrier so I understand how important it is for you to find someone trustworthy to look after your best friend! I will take care of her/him as if it were my own pet, as it is in my best interest to keep your dog happy and safe! I do not have professional experience (although I have looked after four different dogs for my friends) however, throughout these past 6 years, ever since I got Lucky, I have learned to identify dogs' needs and successfully fulfill them by understanding their signals through their body language, reactions and so on. When going out on walks I pay attention to what your dog's energy is like and based on that we can either have an energetic and playful walk, or a peaceful and relaxing one. I’m also not scared to get dirty, and I don’t mind picking them up if needs be! Moreover, I can handle meeting other dogs on our walks, as I can immediately tell whether your dog is comfortable it or not. Also, I will let them sniff around however, I am extremely careful in case they try swallowing something they shouldn’t. A little bit about me… I am originally from Romania but I have relocated to the UK to pursue a higher education and now that I’ve finished University, I work as a Safety Analyst. The decision was made that Lucky stays with my family as he loves his dad (my dad also so we’re technically siblings hahaha). But I miss him every single day and I would love to be able to care for someone else’s bestie whilst I am away! ❤️ I work full-time, so my availability is unfortunately limited. However, Fridays I finish quite early and I have weekends off! Thus, on a Friday I’d be available from 16:00 onwards, and on weekends I can do anytime you wish! I am always paying attention to what they’re doing/sniffing and I am also very aware of what they are/are not allowed to eat. I will also take all instructions on board, as I know every owner wants to know their best friend is in good hands!
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I love cats and dogs! I have 4 cats of my own, all absolute nutters with varied personalities. I would love to have a dog of my own soon, at the minute the kitties own the place. Looking forward to meeting some great dogs 🐕 I’ve a self employed film maker, so my time is more free than not! I’d love to fill it with some lovely pets and help pet owners out. I’ve very considerate and take my time to ensure the pets are comfortable with me. I’ll be ensuring I learn what I can from the owners to tailor my service. I’m a clean person, considerate person in other peoples homes
About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and have always had a deep love for animals. I’m currently staying in Leicester but back in my home country , i dedicated time to helping local shelters and i also have three wonderful dogs that I miss daily while studying abroad. Since I can’t bring them with me, I’m looking forward to spending time with other pets, offering them the same love and care I give my own. Being around animals brings me comfort and joy, and I’d love to be your pet’s new friend while you're away!❤️❤️ With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. My university classes are only 2-3 times a week for a couple of hours in the morning, which leaves me with the rest of the day to focus on giving your pets the attention, walks, and playtime they need. Whether it’s during the week or on weekends, I can easily fit pet care into my routine and ensure your furry friends are well taken care of. When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel right at home. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and get plenty of attention. Whether it’s cozy indoor spaces or outdoor walks, I tailor the care to their needs, ensuring they get exercise, companionship, and love throughout the day. I also maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, and follow any specific feeding or care routines to keep your pet feeling happy and secure while they’re with me.
Leicester dog owners share their Rover experiences
This was Ruby's second meeting with our dog Elsie after an initial meet and greet a month ago. Elsie is nervous of strangers and a little reactive. Ruby was calm and happy to go at Elsie’s pace and the pair of them went on a successful walk together ending the time with a tummy rub! Hoping to rebook Ruby to build on this relationship. Thank you Ruby!

Nadia has been a life saver when we suddenly had a change on our work commitments and needed someone to take our dog out for wee break at a short notice. She's been extremely flexible and accommodating, and Misty was very happy will all the fuss she received! Thank you Nadia.
