House Sitting Leicester

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

“Maisie was a fabulous sitter for our house and labradoodle. She was punctual and looked after our home and dog as if they were her own. Ruby took to Maisie straight away and we really hope that she can come and sit for us again. Thank you Maisie!”

About: Dogs have literally been my whole world. Growing up... I had everything from my mum's sassy little sausage dog to big, bouncy German Shepherds. My proudest moment? Adopting a retired police dog... and at one point, having three large dogs under my roof all at once. I live for the chaos! Love playing, training, talking to them (full conversations, obviously!), and walking them endlessly until their tongues are hanging out. Here's the thing... I'm petite. But walking these big, powerful dogs actually gives me the bravery to explore Leicester properly. Dogs show me pathways and hidden spots I'd never find alone... and in return, I keep them safe, exercised, and happy. Now I'm settled on Vaughan Way, right in the city centre, and I've been loving discovering Abbey Park, the riverside, and every green patch Leicester has to offer. I'd genuinely love for your pup to be my next walking buddy. 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.

“Luisa was fantastic with our dogs and very communicative all day. It was a pleasure and relief knowing that Luisa was home and looking after the 3 little dogs!”

“Chloe was excellent. We weren’t able to arrange a pre meeting before the dog sitting purely because it was a last minute booking but Chloe was happy to receive all instructions via message and really great with communication. Chloe went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were well looked after, walked, watered and fed!! She even did a couple bits of washing up for us as we had to leave in a rush which we never asked for or expected. I would not hesitate to booking Chloe again. Thank you for everything Chloe.”

“Amazing I have 2 very crazy staffies and Rachel and her husband took great care of them. House left how they found it and dogs were both happy Thanks again”

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.

“Celeste took great care of our greyhound while we were out for the day. He was very comfortable around Celeste, and the house was just as tidy when we returned as we left it.”

“Martina and her husband were simply lovely. I trusted them completely. The house was immaculate and the dogs were very happy. I highly recommend them! Thank you. Xxx”

“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!”

“Prijesh looked after our 5 month old puppy for a whole day and was professional and kind. Pup had a great day! We really appreciate it, thanks so much!!! Will definitely be rebooking.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, and I do it alongside my girlfriend, so your furry friend will have double the love and attention 🐾. We’ve cared for animals of all ages – from mischievous puppies to wise, senior dogs – and know how to make them feel safe, happy, and part of the family. Every pet is unique, and we make sure walks, playtime, and cuddles are tailored to their personality. With us, your dog or cat won’t just be looked after – they’ll be spoiled a little, loved a lot, and always treated like part of our pack. ❤️ Pets are always part of my daily routine 🐾. Mornings usually start with a walk or some playtime to help them burn off energy and feel happy. Mealtime, cuddles, and mental stimulation are also key parts of the day, making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. Since my girlfriend and I both work from home, pets are never left alone and are fully included in our daily rhythm. Walks, games, training, and quiet time together are all part of our week, keeping them happy, comfortable, and engaged. I make sure feeding times are on schedule and strictly follow the owner’s instructions. Walks are done at a pace that suits the dog – whether it’s a power stroll or a sniff-around adventure. And when the dog’s had enough running and fetching, we can always chill out together and watch Lassie Come Home – emotional support goes both ways, after all. Safety and trust are our top priorities. Whether caring for pets in our home or yours, we make sure they are always in a secure environment, with routines followed carefully so they feel comfortable and happy. We treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, just like they were our own. In our home, we have a fully fenced garden where pets can enjoy safe, supervised playtime. 🐾

“Lily was brilliant, continued with the training were currently doing, kept Hugo to his routine well and he obviously enjoyed her company very much. Lily had everything beat and tidy when I returned home, I'd definitely ask Lily to come again”

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’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.

“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! 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.

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.
