“Lauren was fantastic. Our older cat is very shy with most people but was very comfortable with Lauren. Always arrived on time, if not early, and left everything very clean and tidy for when we got back. Great communication as well. I would definitely book her again”
“Melissa and Sam stepped in at the last minute to take care of our 2 cats who can be a little nervous around unfamiliar people. Melissa and Sam gained their trust quickly and cared for them really well with great communication, including photos. Thank you very much.”
About: I’m dedicated to providing the highest quality care for each pet. I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and needs, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness., I’ve owned dogs with a variety of breeds and temperaments, ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and playtime. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I’m committed to creating a positive, fun, and fulfilling experience for every pet in my care. I currently work lunch time into evenings so I have plenty of time in the mornings to help out with walks/trainings between 6am-12pm within weekdays I provide a safe, welcoming home environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. With plenty of space to relax and play, my home is designed to be having for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. In addition to offering a cozy place to stay, I also ensure every dog gets plenty of exercise and outdoor time with regular, energizing walks. Safety is always my top priority, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands whether at my home or out on a walk.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young, and friends, neighbours and family regularly rely on me to walk, feed, bathe and play with their pets. I run my own pet care business, so I’m experienced with all temperaments, routines and needs. Your pet will always get patient, attentive and loving care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins and walks most weekdays after 2pm, with full availability on weekends. I always make time to give pets proper attention, play and companionship — never rushed visits. I prioritise safety and comfort in every home I visit. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep owners updated with photos, and ensure fresh water, clean spaces and supervised play at all times. I’m calm, confident with all breeds, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: We have both always loved animals and have grown up with dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of our lives. Amy previously worked in a cattery and kennels for around three years during busy holiday periods, helping to care for a range of cats and dogs. This experience built strong confidence in handling different breeds, personalities, and needs, as well as understanding how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Together, we regularly look after dogs and cats for family and friends, providing feeding, companionship, and drop-in visits when owners are away. We’re now offering cat and dog drop-in visits in our spare time because we genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure pets are happy, relaxed, and well cared for in their own home. We work from home so have availability to drop-in to care for your dog during the day, evenings & some weekends (although they do book up fast) We will tailor care to you and your pets needs, no two cats or dogs are the same so you can feel comfortable knowing we will care for your pets as you would. We will send photos each visit too :)
About: I’ve been looking after dogs, cats and small animals in people’s homes for the past 3/4 years. I am fully qualified in animal care and have also worked in professional environments like catteries and doggy day cares. I work full time so any drop ins and walks can be scheduled in to work round this, and house sittings can take place on weekends :) I always keep owners updated on how your pets are doing, what they've done on our walk or my visit, and stick to their daily schedule as much as I can for them and you! :)
“This was our first time using a cat sitter we were a bit nervous as our babies are only 10 months old and nervous but leanne was great even got them out to take photos and treats it meant we could relax a bit definitely be using the service and leanne again”

“We booked Ellen for a week of daily drop-ins for our cat, Tilly, and we couldn't be happier. Everyday, Ellen changed Tilly's water, gave her a wet food pouch, cleared her litter tray and played with her. Ellen was always very responsive, punctual and kept us up to date with photos. We'd be more than happy to have her cat sit again when we're next away. She has our highest recommendation.”
“My partner and I had never left our cat with anyone before and so we were super nervous to go on holiday, but Sarah was amazing at easing our minds. She sent us lots of updates to let us know how our cat was doing and made sure to play and engage with him when we were away.”
“Really happy I booked Olivia, she really helped us find a last minute sitter for our dog Dash and our cats. The pictures taken on the card gave us peace of mind whilst we were away that dash was being cared for, espeically the one of him cuddling her.”
About: I have lots of experience looking after animals. I have sitted dogs overnight and in the day many times. And I absolutely love it! I have experience with different types of dogs. I work part time, so I have a lot of free time to spare, and I would love to spend this with animals! I am vegan and have been for nearly 6 years. Whatever your rules are I will follow, giving pets the love and care that they deserve. Making sure they are safe in their environment! They won’t want me to leave!

I have 2 relevant animal degrees including animal welfare, clinical animal behaviour and training I have plenty of time for walkies (and treats), mostly in the evenings. Working throughout the day but can regularly visit home as I live on site at my work. I have a private apartment near to work, attached to enclosed fields in which the animal can enjoy.

Alice has done another brilliant job looking after our cat Archie. She spent so much time with him and provided daily updates including photos and videos which we loved. Archie is taking medication and Alice followed the instructions perfectly. Thanks again Alice! Archie will miss you
Lauren was fantastic. Our older cat is very shy with most people but was very comfortable with Lauren. Always arrived on time, if not early, and left everything very clean and tidy for when we got back. Great communication as well. I would definitely book her again
Lauren is fantastic! From the moment she visited us for the meet and greet we knew she was going to be perfect for looking after our cat Monty. Monty took to her straight away and during her drop ins, Lauren gave him so much love and attention, as well as updating us with photo's, videos and messages to let us know he was ok. We highly recommend Lauren and wouldn't look anywhere else for cat care.

There are 1,135 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in North West Leicestershire. About 92% of North West Leicestershire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
