“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.”


About: I am very kind and caring person. I grew up with a lot of nature and animals around. My mom and dad had a farm with cows, domestic birds, cats and dogs. I originally wanted to have a dog but did not want the dog to stay indoors while I’m at work all day so I ended up with 2 little kittens and I took in another 2 adult cats that needed home. I live on my own and I don’t have children so a lot of my energy goes into my cats. They are like my children sadly 😅 🥰 I have looked after my friends’ and my relatives’ dogs and cats. I would recognise if and when animal is anxious and would treat it with care and patience. I would not mind to take your dog for a walk or to make visits. It would be nice to meet new personalities and give them a little fuss 🥰🥰🥰 I work full time but I am very active and like to go for long walks outside my work hours during evenings or weekends. I love outdoors but I also like to chill out with my cats peacefully. I can only do dog walks or home visits for dogs or cats since I have cats and they would not get along with a dog or other cats unless introduced slowly. First of all, I would need to know if there are any specific details I need to know about your pet’s routine, diet, sleeping pattern or his/hers character 🥰
“Mel & Sam are both lovely people and felt completely at ease leaving my cats in their care. They were very thorough during the induction and are obviously very fond of animals watching their interaction when meeting mine for the first time. They’re very flexible and went above and beyond my expectations in caring for my cats. Updates were regular with photos included. Won’t hesitate to seek their services again.”
About: Hi, I’m Jemimah! ✨ I’m a yoga teacher, nature lover, matcha drinker, and of course a big dog lover 🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them from a young age, so being around them feels really natural to me. I regularly walk and look after my family’s pets too, and I love getting outside for fresh air, long walks, and a bit of calm time in nature (which dogs always make even better!). I understand how important it is to feel that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. Feel free to message me if you’d like to chat or see how I can help, I’d love to meet you and your pup! Thank you for reading my profile 😊 I’m currently not working so I am available most days, weekdays and weekends. I’m also happy to work during the evenings. I am also available at short notice if required. Your pets safety is my priority. I will ensure your pet/s are looked after and full responsibility is guaranteed at all times!

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: I absolutely adore dogs and caring for them. I’ve looked after many dogs on Rover and have loved every single one of them, all with different personalities and needs, it’s always a joy to be able to help out and get to spend time with these wonderful animals. I’ve had dogs ever since I could remember so have always grown up looking after dogs. As a child we had a springer spaniel and growing up we had a Dalmatian and another springer spaniel. I used to always visit the RSPCA as a child growing up as I loved going to see all the animals. Your dog is always in someone’s company. I work in a school and with help from my mum who stays with the dogs in the day we can meet all your dogs needs. I am also available weekends. I’m very active and love the outdoors and adventure, I love going for walks hikes and runs so will happily will take your pup too. I have a completely fenced garden, no way of escape. I am very careful and abide to health and safety regulations. There’s no other dogs in the house currently. Im also a very trustworthy person and work in education/care with children
About: I have had numerous years of experience with caring for animals, no matter what size, age or ability. My parents have a typical Spring Spaniel who I grew up with and helped find my passion for adventurous walks. Living in a rural village, I can offer a range of walks suited to your dog and their needs. Whether it be wet and muddy, or dry and quiet. I currently work full time at a local firm, but are lucky enough to work from home if needed. I can arrange this to suit your dog and days which you may require an extra helping hand with your beloved companion! Please message me, even if I do not have the availability that you require as I am very flexible and can work around you and your dog’s needs. *please note that these requests are preferably required 3 days in advance, but I am always happy to see what I can do! I have a long enclosed rear garden, which provides a safe, fun environment for your dog. Inside the home, I have created a dog friendly environment for you pooch to settle in and enjoy during there stay.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, I currently have a German Shepherd at my family home, who I miss very much. I studied canine training at university and absolutely love everything to do with dogs. I am a professional rugby player and want to dedicate my free time to caring for dogs :) I am currently a professional rugby player for Great Britain and I’ve always grown up around dogs. Whilst my job takes me to various places around the world, it also leaves me with lots of free time when I am not in training camp or competing and I’m looking to spend that time making a dogs day great. Caring for A Dog is something I really enjoy doing As I love dogs so much, they have a special place in my heart and they bring me so much joy. Their comfort and happiness is my main priority, and I do everything I can to make sure they are well looked after (pampered)
About: I have been around dogs and many animals my entire life! My parents have previously owned 2 boxer dogs and a jack russell, so i have experience with both big and small dogs. I also look after my aunties dog and cat regularly by taking him out for walks, feeding him and of course playing! She has also had 2 other cats previously that i looked after too. So i have the trust and respect you and your animals are looking for. My friends too have animals that i occasionally look after as they know i am capable. I am currently working part time at a cafe which will soon be full time. Please message me, even if i am unavailable i am very flexible! I usually go to others houses to look after so bringing other animals into my home won’t be an option unfortunately. I am happy to if it is urgent as i have an open house with a big garden that is all fenced off.
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: Having had dogs throwing life and having had my own for the past 10years and been a regular sitter for those of friends and family too I love the joy that a dog can bring to you home and your life overall. I really enjoy the time out and the mindfulness of walking a dog and in the comfort and care you get from them in return when chilling at home afterwards. Although full time employed I routinely work from home and a can adapt my day to suit the potential needs of any booking. I can work remotely while dog sitting in your home or arrange to walk your dog as part of my days routine. I would consider being your dog into my own home if they are sociable and gel with my own cocker poo Martha. I am caring and considerate and would respect your home as my own if caring for you dog in your own home. I would follow all instructions given. If bring them to my home I have a securely fenced garden should the care be in my own home. I also know of many wonderful walks int he area that are safe and dog friendly.

We treat all pets as if they are our own, and include them into any activity we undertake. Our garden is fully enclosed and the safety of your pet is our promise to you.
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.

I’ve owned multiple dogs without my life and currently have a Labrador of my own. Pet care isn’t just a task — it’s a joyful part of my everyday life. Working from home allows me the flexibility to provide personalised drop-in visits for pets in the mornings and evenings. For Drop-In Visits: I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care. I focus on giving pets companionship and mental stimulation to keep loneliness at bay.
About: I’ve grown up around lots of dogs. My dads always had between two and six so as kid walking 3 white German shepards at a time was a good start. I’ve cared for 3 dogs the last two years walking them everyday, one being elderly and needing extra care. Whenever I’m out or round a friends house if there’s a dog I will be playing with it. I’ve been told and feel I have an affinity with dogs so making this a bigger part of my life would be a dream. Nearly 4 years ago I sold my place to move into a van this has allowed to follow my passion, dogs. I can’t tell you how lucky I feel when I’m out with a dog I get on well with. I feel I can communicate with dogs as many have told me I’m their best friend. Now summer is here I play cricket so Saturday day I will be unavailable. I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs and understand their different needs. I’ve sat for an XL Bully to my dad’s six King Charles Spaniels. One of the dogs I walk I take for longer than I should but the dog needs it so she gets it. I speak to all dogs and feel that they understand the intent behind your words. I have lots of free time and I’m very punctual.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - North West Leicestershire
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.

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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
