“Welcoming dog boarder with a great environment for our dog, company of other four legged friends, people around and walks to enjoy. Kathryn is knowledgeable and experienced, so we’re hoping for our dog it can be a home from home when we go away.”

About: I recently obtained my Level 2 certificate in animal welfare which allows me to provide an extra level of care to your dog. My understanding of their needs is much greater since accomplishing this also due to the work experience in a busy dog day care, I was quickly brought up to speed managing up to 20 dogs! I have always been passionate about dogs ever since I became a young dog mum, I took my boarder collie dog training when I was 13 and created a fabulous bond which will last a million lifetimes! She lived well into her senior age of 18 where I met all her senior needs 🥰 Unfortunately last year she passed but I loved every minute of being a dog mum so now I'm using my passions to provide a safe and loving environment for other dogs to enjoy as a fun doggy holiday. I am always walking and hiking, I am also a self employed hair dresser which means I am often at home or not far from it. I have a huge secure garden, which is often referred to as a doggy's paradise! I live in a detached barn conversion with a 360 garden. I have an open plan house, with hard floors perfect for dogs. I live 2 minutes from a park and not far from Leicester centre.
“Anna is absolutely amazing with pet care. I left my almost 6 months old puppy with Anna for a weekend and she's so patient and caring. Sends me regular updates and Kenji loves it with her, her family and the family dog. Anna's children also help and play with Kenji. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping Kenji with Anna, often.”

“Avgi once again looked after Gizmo, and I can only say that she is just absolutely brilliant, Gizmo I know was looked after so well, when I dropped Gizmo off yesterday morning Saturday 14th, she asked a few questions as just to make sure that Gizmos needs and routine was met, I really admire Avgi and the job she does in looking after your pet. Well done Avgi and thank you for looking after Gizmo for me, I have no worries at all 👍🐶❤️xx”

“Just picked Nellie up after a weekend with Lewis. Love the home from home environment where she was well cared for and was sent updates and photos of her stay. Would definitely recommend Lewis. Thank you so much for looking after her 🐕😊”

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 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.
“Levi looked to have a great time, I received lots of photos of Levi on walks and relaxing with lots of toys and dogs to play with. Will certainly reach out when I need another sitter. Thanks for having him and providing a great week for Levi”

“Bethany really looked after our cockapoo well, he was welcomed into their home and we were kept updated with regular pictures. He looked right at home! 💙. I would definitely trust her to look after him again. Thank you.”

“Sherbet received excellent care whilst staying with Demi and Leonard. Lots of photos on a daily basis so I could see how she was and what she was doing. I would recommend this family to anyone and will use them again when we go away again. Thank you, Soraya, Andrew and Sherbet”

Leicester pet owners share their Rover experiences
Holly provided a wonderful service when looking after our black lab Norton. She put my mind at ease immediately when we arranged a meet up before I went ahead with the booking. Holly clearly has a love for animals and is keen to know all the little details about your pet so that she can ensure an enjoyable stay is had. We will definitely be using Holly again without hesitation.

My Lola had never stayed away from the family before, but she immediately bonded with Jyoti and Alo (the house dog). Jyoti is very kind, attentive, and spends a lot of time with the pets in her care. During Lola’s 5-day stay with Jyoti, I received frequent updates and photos showing how Lola spent her days. She has a spacious area and a lovely garden where the pets can run around freely. I can highly recommend Jyoti.

Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾

I would highly recommend Alexandros!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lola settled in rather quickly which was great to know since there was no meet and greet and she was meeting Alexandros for the first time when being dropped off! He understood her behaviours beforehand and knew exactly what to do to make her feel calm, comfortable and safe around him and new surroundings as she can be anxious and reactive at times. Communication was easy right from the initial enquiry and he was very responsive in a timely manner and also kept me updated on Lola's time with him and shared pics also! Thank you so much once again for looking after Lola Alexandros and also for understanding her needs and being so flexible!! Really appreciate it!! Lola looks forward to seeing you again!! ☺️

Aleksandra was fantastic! Very easy to communicate with and stayed in touch regularly every day with updates on our pup’s day which made us smile. She also was happy to pick him up which made a big difference to us as we couldn’t drive. Aleksandra is clearly an animal lover and made our dog feel very welcome even when he was a little wobbly on the first night. She played games with him and took him out for walks as well as introducing him to friends. You could tell he was having the best time! We would definitely recommend her and book again. Thank you Aleksandra. :)

We left our Yorkie Loki with Maria for 4 days, and he was very happy there. Maria took care of him exceptionally well, ensuring he slept, ate, and exercised enough. We were worried, as Loki has never stayed with a stranger away from us for any period of time, but despite this being a first for him, he has been happy and well taken care of. I am extremely grateful to Maria for this, and we will most definitely go to Maria again whenever we need a sitter for our baby.

Sophie has looked after Zelda for us before and we didn't hesitate in asking Sophie to look after her again. Sophie kept us well updated, with lots of great photos, and has cared for Zelda brilliantly - taking her for lots of walks, to a dog park and lots of other great things to do. We wouldn't ask anybody else to care for Zelda now! Thank you.

couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Anastasis kept me updated the whole time with pics and messages, was super on top of everything, and didn’t hesitate to ask any questions. Teddy was happy, well looked after and got lots of walks and attention. he was also really accommodating and willing to help with anything if needed. would 100% trust him again.

Avgi once again looked after Gizmo, and I can only say that she is just absolutely brilliant, Gizmo I know was looked after so well, when I dropped Gizmo off yesterday morning Saturday 14th, she asked a few questions as just to make sure that Gizmos needs and routine was met, I really admire Avgi and the job she does in looking after your pet. Well done Avgi and thank you for looking after Gizmo for me, I have no worries at all 👍🐶❤️xx

Anna is absolutely amazing with pet care. I left my almost 6 months old puppy with Anna for a weekend and she's so patient and caring. Sends me regular updates and Kenji loves it with her, her family and the family dog. Anna's children also help and play with Kenji. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping Kenji with Anna, often.
