Maisie is a lovely dog sitter - 100% reliable and great communication. The dogs were very happy on our return and Maisie coped brilliantly with them during the recent very hot weather. The house was left neat and tidy too. Thank you Maisie, until the next time!

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 Tuesday: 9am–1pm Monday: 6pm–10pm Thursday: 6pm–10pm🐾 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

Cannot recommend Richard and Bee enough! Wonderful sitters who clearly love animals and treat them with such care and attention during their stay. We had an initial meeting at their home to see how our two dogs would settle and were instantly reassured, even our anxious pup Deke made himself at home. We have left them overnight and had regular updates and photos. It is such a relief to find people you can really trust and who genuinely adore your pets, we will def be using Richard and Bee again!

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.

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.

We booked Rachel our first dog sitter to care for our nervous but lovely boy whilst we were away. At least he was on his own house and his routine. Rachel was brilliant with messages and pictures whilst we were away. Raffy was very well looked after, walked and fed exactly as he is used to. We returned to a happy dog and our house as we left it Highly recommend.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I take this job seriously. I can also train dogs but the simple tasks using treats for this I’m currently a university student. But my timetable is very flexible. I can do also weekends which are more suitable and more free for me. I love going on walks throughout the city and if i had company by a dog that would be really good. The safety of your dogs is my number one priority and i would never risk or do anything that can harm you or your dog.

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.

Chanel was an absolute dream of petsitter ! We were away for 1 week for our wedding and she left us absolutely “worry free”! She sent pictures everyday and updates on how they were doing and when we came back they were so chilled and happy that it seemed like they had a holiday too. They were treated like king and queen and I will absolutely be looking to book Chanel again when need to in the future. Recommend her to everyone she is really lovely !

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 have cat sitted several times over the last few years for other owners and thoroughly enjoy it! I have also dog sitted and walked dogs of all sizes. I offer services from dog and also cat boarding to drop in visits/house sitting and dog walking. I have a family pet cat who I adore so much! I adopted Milo since he was 10 weeks old and he always makes me smile everyday. (He does live with my family) if I were to look after your cat or dog I could either attend to them where they live or to my flat (where I live alone with no pets) I enjoy being around cats and although I have not had dogs as a pet before, I have been around friends who do have some. I think having pets always cheers people up as they’re full of life. I groom my cat, bathe him, comb his hair, clean his food tray, litter and also feed him twice daily. I have dog and cat sitted before so have experience doing both. Please get in touch and feel free to ask any questions! Thank you I am on here to look after cute pets that need taking care of and would be more than happy to help out the owner. I would describe myself as someone who is caring and outgoing. I currently reside in Leicester near Glenfield and they’re are a lot of nice parks nearby for the doggies (also me). I would also be interested in house sitting, cat or dog sitting, day care and also walking. Can take last minute bookings and if needed my services for a longer period of time more than a week, I could negotiate the rate. Currently working for the NHS but over the holiday Christmas period I’m available to sit. I could work around my schedule. I genuinely love pets and it’s nice to unwind to have a little play time and to care for them. I have a family cat that if full of energy, loves going out to play in the garden! Everyday is a routine when looking after Milo and first thing making sure his food bowl is cleaned and he is fed.. grooming everyday as his hair sheds a lot. Days consist of lots of cuddles and neck scratches and making sure he is well looked after.

About: Hello! I’m Tadas Kirsa, the owner of Tadas’ Furry Friends Care and a lifelong animal lover. My passion for caring for animals of all kinds—furry, feathered, and finned—naturally grew into a professional career in pet sitting and dog walking. I’ve been surrounded by pets since childhood, which taught me early on how important animals are in our lives. Their companionship, loyalty, and unique personalities continue to inspire me every day. With a background in animal management, I bring both knowledge and hands-on experience to ensure your pets receive reliable, high-quality care. What matters most to me is creating a safe, calm, and happy environment for every animal I look after. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that means energetic playtime, gentle reassurance, or a peaceful walk around the neighbourhood. Your pet’s well-being always comes first, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. Schedule & Availability I offer flexible scheduling to make sure your pet gets the care they need, when they need it. Whether you’re looking for regular daily walks, occasional drop-ins, or longer pet-sitting visits, I’ll work with you to find a time that fits your routine. Current Availability: Morning visits Afternoon visits Evening visits Weekend availability Holiday bookings upon request I aim to respond quickly and keep scheduling easy and stress-free. If you have a specific time or routine in mind, feel free to let me know — I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With a background in animal management, I follow professional, evidence-based practices to ensure every animal is handled safely and respectfully. I create a calm, positive environment where pets can feel secure, understood, and cared for. I use appropriate equipment on walks, monitor behaviour closely, and adjust my approach to match each pet’s personality — whether they’re shy, energetic, anxious, or confident. Building trust is important to me. I provide clear communication, regular updates, and complete transparency during every visit or walk, so you always know how your pet is doing. You can relax knowing your pet is in reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate hands. My goal is simple: to ensure every animal feels safe, happy, and respected — just as they would in their own home.

Brilliant again. We just love Richard and Bee. They take great care of our two dogs, and I know they’re in safe hands. Lots of updates, and they always make sure they’ve got everything they need - including feeding our fussy little frenchie and giving her medication. The house is always looked after too, they even brought our bins in for us when they dog sat for the day

She not only looked after our pets like they were her own but she looked after our home like it was her own. We got updates from her which put our minds at ease and helped us enjoy our trip. We have already booked Megan again for when we go away next month.

As first time user of Rover and never having left our Dog with a sitter before, we were quite nervous on how it would go. However, Ellie was absolutely great - our dog had an amazing time, warmed up to Ellie immediately and looked very happy with her. We were sent frequent updates and pictures, and Peaches was looked after very well. I would 100% recommend Ellie for others wanting a dog sitter and we will be booking with Ellie again in the future. Thank you very much for taking such good care of Peaches! ☺️
