“Milena looked after my dog Kara for a day & night and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent me plenty of updates and photos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. Kara had a wonderful time playing with her dog Sky and her kids, and got lots of cuddles too. Kara is double-coated so struggles in the heat, it was 28 degrees so I was especially impressed that Milena was so thoughtful- she used a cooling blanket and even gave her some frozen blueberries and watermelon to keep Kara comfortable. It’s clear Milena genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’d happily leave Kara with her again and would recommend her without hesitation”
“Chang is such a lovely person and it was clear from the first meeting that she was a perfect fit for my dog Nacho. She had him for 8 nights and gave several daily updates throughout that time. I could see how happy he was and really comforted our family while we were away. She took care of him like he was her own and for this I am most appreciative. She made sure he was comfortable, happy and well cared for. Any special instructions were followed and updates given too. Thank you Chang.”
“It was my first time using the app and I couldn’t be happier. I had lots of updates and was able to relax and felt they were really having the best time. Elizabeth and family welcomed my goblins and were perfect.”
“Excellent care provided yet again, my little fur baby is so well looked after with Agnieszka and family - I am so happy, get regular pictures/videos and updates on how he is doing 🤗 thank you so much and will deffo book again 💜”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
“I can’t thank Sonia enough for stepping in at the very last minute to look after my French Bulldog, Pablo. With no time for a meet and greet, I was a bit nervous leaving him with someone new — but Sonia immediately put me at ease. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and most importantly, kind and calm with Pablo, who can be a bit of a diva sometimes! I got regular updates and photos, and it was clear he was relaxed and happy in her care. Finding someone so reliable and caring on such short notice is rare, and I feel very lucky to have found Sonia. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again — highly recommended!”
“Harvey enjoyed his stay with his new friend Riri and loved the company of Yimei too.Execllent caring for Harvey and we will be leaving Harvey for another holiday with Riri. I get pictures,videos and texts about how Harvey is adapting to his holiday home. Highly recommend Yimei.”
“Betsy was welcomed with warmth into Kate's home and we felt she was looked after sensitively. We appreciated frequent updates and photos. We would thoroughly recommend Kate and her family as excellent Dog Airbnb hosts! She would certainly be out first port of call should we need Betsy looking after again by anyone other than a family member.”
“Another great stay at Richard’s. We feel very comfortable to leave our dogs in his care, after a month of multiple stays we see our dogs are happy to go back and stay at Richard’s place. We are getting daily feedback on our dogs day and any queries from us are answered promptly. We definitely go back again for great 😊 doggy day care!”
“Shaneela was absolutely fabulous from the first message. Never did anything like this before and she made it a very easy and calm experience. Super friendly and took amazing care of my cat for 5 days sending me messages and updates every single day. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thankyou”
“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”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Bethany provided! Milo was so happy and settled the entire time he was with her. We appreciate her brilliant service a lot and would definitely recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a reliable dogsitter.”
“Yudi provided Leo with kindness and care which we appreciated. Yudi's communication was excellent, and her flexiblity in when we were collecting Leo was appreciated, given we were traveling home some distance, traffic delays etc. Lovely pictures updating us on his time away. We would have no hesitation in recommending and asking Yudi to look after Leo again.”
“Ria was a fantastic dog sitter for our pooches. She was accommodating, flexible and they clearly loved spending time with her. Ria kept me in the loop with what they were getting up to, with plenty of pictures too. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Thank you Ria!”
“Absolutely superb service, Bertie and Luna were extremely happy and settled during their stay. Chanel kept us up to date and it was lovely to see regular photos of the pugs enjoying themselves. Will definitely be booking again if we can!”
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.
“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.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Leicester is £30

I honestly can’t thank Konrad & Ola enough. I was so nervous booking my puppy in as he’s only small but we’d already had this holiday booked. I had updates, pictures & they treated Bruce like royalty. I don’t even think he wanted to come home. I wouldn’t use anyone else now and genuinely if you are reading this, you really should book with them. You won’t regret it. It’s so lovely to have had the privilege to use you guys. Thank you 🤍

She made sure he was comfortable, happy and well cared for. Any special instructions were followed and updates given too. Thank you Chang.
Rob and hayley was amazing with my dogs, they go the extra mile, my doggies suffer with separation anxiety really bad, rob and hsyley did everything possible to my dogs at ease, comfortable and settled. Absolutely amazing family, you would get peace of mind leaving your pets here,
Holly O looked after Alfie for the weekend while I travelled for my daughter's wedding. First time Alfie has been looked after other than the family in 10 years. Holly sent photos of Alfie and kept me informed of his wellbeing, he felt at ease with Holy and she is organised and love's looking after dogs. Would I recommend Holly O definitely. Thank you Holly O, you made Alfie feel welcomed in your home.
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.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 sitter.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
