About: Back in my hometown I take care of my dog and my two cats so I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of animals! Since growing up with animals I have always been able to fit into my schedule taking care of pets as i am a very organised person. in the UK pets do not come in my home very often I said do not have a pair of my own but back home I have so many animals in my home.
About: I have years of experience with dog care, training and pet setting. I love spending time with dogs and your dog will be in good hands. I am working from home most days of the week so I have flexible schedule and I often also accept last minute bookings. I am happy to help:) My home is very safe and all dogs that I have looked after (50+) felt very well and comfortable here. I am looking forward to welcoming your dog and I will make sure that she/he feels great in my home x
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

About: Hi, I’m Emmanuel and I’ve had the opportunity to cater to Fur besties for 7 years! I owned 2 dogs back in my country and I have taken care of dogs and cats here in Leicester. I really cherish and value fur besties. I don’t see pet sitting as a chore and I’m able to connect to pets easily. I have a part-time job but I can easily make plans to sit/walk/care for your pets, I’m pretty flexible with my work schedule and I can make room for my fur besties with a 1-day prior notice. I love to think of every pet in my care as mine, accordingly, I give as much love as I can. I’m very much attentive and aware of your pets thus I do a proper scan of their environment every now and then just to make sure they are alright.
“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 :)”


About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with lifelong experience caring for pets including cats, dogs, chickens and fish. I have experience with dog walking, dog sitting and cat sitting, and I genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and needs. I’m especially confident with shy, nervous or rescue pets who may need extra patience, gentleness, and understanding. I know how important it is to help animals feel safe, comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also have a beautiful cat called Charlie who means the world to me, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care that I’d want for my own. 💗 I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting, drop in visits, and walks. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship and consistent care throughout the day. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel as comfortable and settled as possible while you’re away. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm, secure environment for every animal in my care. I have experience caring for both indoor and outdoor cats, as well as puppies, kittens, and older animals, so I understand the different needs at every stage of life. I’m confident handling daily care tasks such as litter box cleaning, changing puppy pads, feeding routines, and maintaining a clean and hygienic space. I also provide dog walking and enjoy engaging pets through play, enrichment, and gentle interaction tailored to their personality and energy levels. I have experience working with animals who are anxious, temperamental, or have had difficult past experiences, and I approach them with patience, consistency, and respect for their boundaries. I always aim to build trust at the animal’s own pace. My home and care approach are calm and structured, with a focus on reducing stress and ensuring pets feel safe, understood, and well looked after while their owners are away.

Leicester dog owners share their Rover experiences
Drew helped me out last minute walking my dog for a few days while I was away and she was fantastic. She provided me daily updates, was very communicative, and my dog liked her from the moment he met her. I came back to a happy doggy and i couldn’t be happier. I would 100% recommend her and I will be a regular from now on for sure :) Thank you Drew!!
