Tshireletso looked after my cocker spaniel in challenging circumstances in a heatwave with noisy disruptive building work at a property next door. She remained calm and caring, walking Molly early mornings or late in the evening, She looked after my dog with exceptional care, was tidy and respected my home. I would not hesitate to recommend her to look after your pet.

Lewis is so lovely with our dog, Snoopy! I instantly felt at ease on meeting him and Snoop has been absolutely thrilled with his walks - so much so, we booked Lewis to do some dogsitting for us and couldn't have asked for better care. You can totally see how much Lewis loves animals, how much time he has for them, and the attention he lavishes on them. Thanks so much, Lewis; highly recommended, we'll be calling again. :)

Leanna is everything you could need in a pet sitter. Her consistent updates and communication were brilliant and we felt more than comfortable with our cat being in her care, especially with her medication. She’s so friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is given not only their basic needs but lots of play and fuss too! Thank you again Leanna. ☺️

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.

Bethany is a very professional yet compassionate dog sitter. We had her over our house to look after our young pup and she fully understood what was required; we had fully confidence she'd follow the structure and rules we put in place to ensure his training didn't lapse whilst we were away. She was incredibly respectful of our home and left it extremely clean and tidy. We wouldn't look further than Bethany for a dog sitter whilst we're away!

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!

About: After my westie passed away 8yrs ago, it took me a while to figure what I wanted to do with my life, I’d lived with various dog breeds and cared for them, so the natural path for me to pursue was working with animals, this bought me great happiness and joy, it healed my heart. This is my full time calling, I dog walk on certain days and diary allowing I pet sit, I cover Leicester but I also do ad hoc sits. I always do a meet and greet, get a full history of the pets, walk them with the owner. I get a full rundown of the home. Typical questions: age, breed, allergies, medication, walks, food & treats, vets details, where they sleep, when they were last groomed and vaccinations.

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: 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.

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’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 Monay - Friday: available after 6pm 🐾 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

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have always loved animals. I grew up with a Weimaraner from the age of 4, and since then I’ve gained many years of hands-on experience with different breeds and personalities. I’ve looked after my brother’s German Shorthaired Pointer since he was a puppy and he turns 5 this November. I’ve lived with and had responsibility for two Pugs from puppyhood for around four years, and a Cockapoo for five years into older age. I’ve also spent time looking after my godmother’s elderly mixed-breed dog, who has some Jack Russell in him, as well as friends’ dogs on occasions when they’ve needed a helping hand. This has included breeds ranging from Dachshund to Greyhound. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual character. I’m patient, attentive and responsible, and would treat your dog as if they were my own. I also love wildlife photography, so being outdoors and around animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very comfortable meeting new people and building a rapport, having spent many years working in customer-facing roles and performing. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable with the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always keep owners updated and communicate openly. I currently have plenty of flexibility during the week and can fit pet care around your dog’s routine. My weekend availability can vary, but I’m happy to discuss specific dates and find what works best for you and your pet. Your dog’s safety and comfort would always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs, and will follow your instructions carefully. I’m also happy to keep you updated during walks or visits so you know how your dog is doing.

Rosie arrived on time and was really lovely when she met Bobo- I knew instantly that she loved dogs and bobo was really happy and showing off in front of her. Her gentle approach made him relaxed and I felt so happy she was able to stay at our home to look after him. I had regular updates and cute photos during the day. The communication was great and I would throughly recommend her to anyone. I will definitely use Rosie again and Bobo now has a new friend!!

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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,736 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.
