Jack has been amazing with my cat, when I came home after 3 days everything looked tidy and on top of everything my cat was happy and chilled 🥰😍 I don't think he missed us so much 😅 and it's just because Jack looked after him so well! Thank you again Jack.

Lewis did a great job of looking after our pets for a week. He made a point of arranging a second meet and greet to be sure Scully was comfortable with him, his communication was great and Scully clearly enjoyed her time with him. I think she's wondering where he went 😄

About: Since a child I’ve looked after and been around all manner of dogs, with my own family dog surviving until the ripe old age of 16! Things like vomit and poop don’t phase me, so puppies are a breeze! I have quite a bit of knowledge on different breed needs/behaviours and general dog knowledge - anything I don’t know or I’m not sure about I research within an inch of its life! I’ve raised my own current dog from the age of 16 weeks but I’ve previously raised a dog from younger, and have experience with senior dogs too. Working part time on variable days but availability will be updated whenever I get my hours for the next week. I can do same day bookings so long as there’s enough time for logistics to be sorted out! I always treat others’ pets as if they’re my own, and give them as many cuddles and attention as they’ll tolerate! Anything chewable in my home is far out of reach since my own dog is a bit of a scoundrel for getting things she shouldn’t have! On walks, dogs will never be let off lead just in case they don’t come back or get injured, and if your cats are indoors only, I’ll respect that.

About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.

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!

Maisie looked after my two dogs and cat in our home. One of my dogs has a tricky temperament and it is fairly challenging to manage her needs. Maisie was attentive to her needs and took amazing care of all of the animals and we returned to them happy and calm. I would recommend Maisie without hesitation.

About: I have experience caring for family dogs, including regular walking, feeding, and overnight stays. I’ve also looked after my grandad’s dog in my own home, so I’m confident keeping dogs comfortable in a home environment. I’m very reliable, organised, and active, so I enjoy getting dogs out for walks and sticking to their usual routines. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I’m active and enjoy getting dogs out for walks and sticking to their usual routines. I’m best suited to dogs that are comfortable being left for a few hours during the day, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care when I’m with them. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I will always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking schedules, and any specific needs your dog may have. I make sure dogs feel relaxed and secure, whether in their own home or out on walks, and I always keep a close eye on them. I’m reliable, responsible, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you feel completely at ease while your dog is in my care.

About: I'm a dedicated animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each pet's individual personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with nervous pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to care for energetic puppies and kittens. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), or plenty of cuddles, I always provide reliable, loving care and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. My work is very flexible and work from home for bits which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets when they need walking, giving them attention and playing with them, letting them out for potty and feeding them. I listen to what you do in your home and respect those boundaries that are set up example pets not allowed on furniture I will respect those rules.

About: LEANNO66078 (£30 off your first booking) Animals have always been a big part of my life, and cats especially have my heart. I love getting to know each cat’s personality—whether they’re cuddly, curious, or content doing their own thing. I’ve grown up with a grand total of 3 dogs, 7 cats, 4 rabbits, and I now have my own fur baby Ozzie who is a cheeky Norwegian Forest Cat! I have been cat and dog sitting for years before joining Rover. I am DBS cleared and hold the highest level of U.K. government security clearance due to my profession so you can be 100% sure your baby is safe with me. I have dealt with shy and anxious cats, reactive dogs, totally chill dogs and cats, and those that require a lot more attention due to being that extra bit playful! 😻 I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind as a frequent traveller myself, so I care for them with the same love and responsibility I’d expect for my own. As a slightly OCD person, I’m highly attentive to routines, feeding schedules, litter hygiene, and behavioral cues, and I’m comfortable caring for shy, anxious or completely relaxed cats and dogs. I pride myself on being dependable, respectful of your home, and communicative, with regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels as relaxed as normal and loved, until their person returns home 🩷 I currently work from home 3 days a week so available for early morning and afternoon cat drop ins or dog walks. I also am available on weekends. I will meet with you before you go away, to understand your pets needs and routine, to keep it as normal as possible for them and give them the love and attention they need until their person comes home 🩷

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover 🐾 and love getting to know each pet’s personality…. whether they’re full of zoomies, a bit shy, or just want cuddles and company. I’ve had my own Whippet and Jack Russell, so I’m used to different sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I also have my own cat, so I understand routines, boundaries and helping pets feel safe and settled 🐶🐱 I studied animal care for a year, volunteered at a dog groomers and have experience with dog walking, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter changes and basic clean-ups. I’m happy to send photo updates and will treat your pet like my own with patience, kindness, care and plenty of compliments! 🥰 My availability varies depending on the service required, but as a general guide: Saturday: flexible all day Sunday: flexible all day Tuesday: 9am–1pm Monday: 6pm–10pm Thursday: 6pm–10pm🐾 Please message me directly with the service, date and times you need, and I’ll be happy to confirm whether I’m available I’ll care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their usual routine as possible. At home, I have a garden for fresh air and toilet breaks, and I also have a cat, so pets staying with me would need to be comfortable around cats. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, litter changes, cuddles and company. If I’m caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and send photo updates if wanted

Bethany and Alex looked after our Flatcoated Retriever and our cat for 12 nights. We came back to a very clean house and a very happy but tired (from all the tennis ball throwing) dog :) . Couldn’t have been happier with the service, love and care that our animals and house received! Will definitely be looking to rebook as our first port of call for future holidays!

About: What sets me apart is my real, hands-on experience managing many dogs at once. I own four dogs and have cared for twelve family dogs, so I’m confident with different personalities, routines, puppies, and senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Back home, I handle my own dogs with feeding, walks, routines, and providing constant love and attention. I’m an MBA student at Loughborough with a flexible schedule and lots of free time between classes. I really miss my own dogs, so being around pets fits naturally into my day, and I can give them plenty of attention, walks, and care I provide a safe, trusting environment for your dog in your home. I can follow your routines closely and give plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. If needed, I can also crate your dog comfortably. My experience with my own dogs and family dogs ensures your fur baby will feel happy and secure while you’re away.

Completely recommend 😊 She is a natural with dogs and I can’t praise River enough on how well Maggie was treated. River sent us a daily update with photos which gave us peace of mind and reassurance. When we got back Maggie was happy and relaxed and just very well looked after. I would totally 100% recommend River to anyone.

Gemesia has been a fantastic cat sitter from the very beginning. She came to meet us and Loki beforehand, let Loki set the pace, and asked lots of thoughtful questions about his habits and routine. Over the weekend we were away, she kept us well informed with videos both morning and evening, letting us know exactly what Loki was up to and how he was doing. Gemesia made the whole process easy and reassuring, at a time when leaving your pet can be really anxiety provoking. We've already booked her again for our next trip away - highly recommend!

As first time user of Rover and never having left our Dog with a sitter before, we were quite nervous on how it would go. However, Ellie was absolutely great - our dog had an amazing time, warmed up to Ellie immediately and looked very happy with her. We were sent frequent updates and pictures, and Peaches was looked after very well. I would 100% recommend Ellie for others wanting a dog sitter and we will be booking with Ellie again in the future. Thank you very much for taking such good care of Peaches! ☺️

FAQs for House Sitting - Wigston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Wigston on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,730 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wigston. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Wigston walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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.

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 .

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wigston choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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.

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.
