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.
“Want to thank Holly for looking after Tilly for us for a week whilst we went on holiday. Holly took really good care of her and was nice to receive regular updates and photos. Tilly clearly enjoyed her time with Holly (and Missy). Would happily book again with her and recommend to others. Thanks again!”
“Elly was absolutely brilliant with my greyhound Nev- he had such a good time with Dolly and friends that he was reluctant to leave when I came to pick him up!! I received regular updates throughout and would absolutely book Nev in with Elly 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”
About: Ive taken care of cats and dogs most of my life, im a very loving and caring person loves taking care of animals making sure there well looked after Im a stay at home mum with older children. Im at home most of the time, always with animals looking after them. I care for pets everyday I have a little chihuahua dog and a couple of cats, i have nice garden with fencing all around, dogs and cats are always safe
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“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”
“Anna is a lovely lady who looked after my dog for 10 days. She looked after him really well and gave him loads of attention, which is what he likes. He had a cold but Anna looked after him very well. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for the care and kindness you gave Anna”
“Piggle had an amazing stay at Kates, lots of updates , plenty of exercise and lots of love. She is an brilliant homeboarder , with lots of experience and I will book again. Thank you so much for all your help”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who had no one. I have hands-on experience caring for 9–12 dogs daily, including feeding, walking, playing and providing basic medical care. In India, I was responsible for looking after stray dogs—ensuring they were safe, healthy, and never hungry. This taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different dog behaviours, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve handled: Daily walks and exercise routines Feeding schedules and hygiene care Basic medication and health monitoring Dogs with different temperaments and needs I truly love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Now based in UK, I’m excited to give the same level of care and dedication to your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate: Morning, afternoon, and evening walks Last-minute bookings Regular daily walks or long-term care I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can tell my own experience- Before relocating to the UK, I ensured that all the dogs I cared for were responsibly handed over to local authorities so they would continue receiving proper food, medical care, and protection. I take long-term responsibility seriously and always put the well-being of animals first.
“I would highly recommend these guys fo look after your pets. I have a mini golden doodle call Bonnie who was so happy and settled with them start to finish. I was given lots of updates and updates photos which made me feel really relaxed. Bonnie loved spending time with them and I will defo use them again 😀”
“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.”
About: I grew up around dogs so they have always been a large part of my life. Along with my own, I often care for friends+family’s pets. I have experience with dogs of all ages - towards the end of his life, my senior dog was unable to use his back legs so he required special care and attention. Due to this, he also became incontinent so I am especially skilled with senior care. However, I am currently the owner of a pug puppy and so, I am perfectly capable of keeping up with the demands of an active puppy as well! As I am currently available all the time, he has my undivided attention, as will your dog also! I am available all the time which means constant love and care for your dog and plenty of playtime! I can also provide walks as often as needed. I have a large fenced garden which is perfect for playtime! I also have a friendly pug puppy who loves to play with other dogs and will be more than happy to share his toys & treats! There is plenty of space for your dog to run around, and also relax when it’s time to wind down. I have an aircon unit in my living room which has been very helpful in cooling the house down, especially during the high temperatures we’ve been having. I can also accommodate to any specific needs!
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”

Ray had a wonderful time. As a Vizsla he’s naturally high energy and can be hard work but Bee made time to get to know him before his stay and then welcomed him into their home for his holidays. We received lots of pictures of Rays adventures and he seems very happy. I would definitely recommend Bee and Richard and we will certainly book again.
Aleksandra was able to look after my dog at short notice and she did a great job at keeping me updated with pictures. Luna looked like she was enjoying herself in every picture. Luna was very well looked after I wondered if she would ever want to come back 😄
Highly Recommended I can’t thank Evridiki enough for looking after Teddy for 8 days while we were away on holiday. ❤️ She was absolutely amazing with him and treated him with so much care, love and attention. Evridiki kept us updated regularly throughout our holiday with lovely pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy Teddy was. 🐶🥰 It was clear that Teddy was very well looked after and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Evridiki to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy and reliable to look after their dog. Thank you so much, Evridiki, for taking such good care of our Teddy! ❤️🐾 We would definitely use her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!
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 🤍
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.

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.

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.
