About: I'm a dedicated animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each pet's individual personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with nervous pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to care for energetic puppies and kittens. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), or plenty of cuddles, I always provide reliable, loving care and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. My work is very flexible and work from home for bits which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets when they need walking, giving them attention and playing with them, letting them out for potty and feeding them. I listen to what you do in your home and respect those boundaries that are set up example pets not allowed on furniture I will respect those rules.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover 🐾 and love getting to know each pet’s personality…. whether they’re full of zoomies, a bit shy, or just want cuddles and company. I’ve had my own Whippet and Jack Russell, so I’m used to different sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I also have my own cat, so I understand routines, boundaries and helping pets feel safe and settled 🐶🐱 I studied animal care for a year, volunteered at a dog groomers and have experience with dog walking, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter changes and basic clean-ups. I’m happy to send photo updates and will treat your pet like my own with patience, kindness, care and plenty of compliments! 🥰 My availability varies depending on the service required, but as a general guide: Saturday: flexible all day Sunday: flexible all day Monay - Friday: available after 6pm 🐾 Please message me directly with the service, date and times you need, and I’ll be happy to confirm whether I’m available I’ll care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their usual routine as possible. At home, I have a garden for fresh air and toilet breaks, and I also have a cat, so pets staying with me would need to be comfortable around cats. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, litter changes, cuddles and company. If I’m caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and send photo updates if wanted

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. 🐾

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.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. Family and friends have always relied on me to check up on them and give them the care they need! I’m available at any time during the week and weekends so I have plenty of time to look after your fury friends! 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 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

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: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for animals, both through volunteering at an animal shelter and privately for friends and family. Working with animals has always been an important part of my life – something I truly enjoy and find deeply rewarding. I currently dedicate most of my free time to animals, simply because I love their company and genuinely care about their well-being. 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. Your pet will have full access to my home. I also have a quiet, private room where pets can relax whenever they need their own space – a great balance between comfort and calm. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs long walks or a shy cat who prefers a cozy corner, I adapt to what makes each animal feel best.

FAQs for Dog Walking – Leicester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Leicester on Rover is £16.1 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,483 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Leicester. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Leicester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Leicester.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 2,483 Walkers in Leicester, 43% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
