“Emily was an absolute star, saving us with a very last minute request for a dog sitter. Responding swiftly with messages, but also driving through the snow to come meet Buffy before hand. Buffy made a new best friend the moment Emily arrived, showing how great she is with dogs and we can't thank her enough for looking after our dog x”

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: I’ve looked after dogs throughout growing up, with looking after friends & families, as well as my own furry friend, i enjoy their company, teaching them new tricks, there’s never a dull day with any dog. I am currently working 30 hours a week in leisure, I’ve just completed my A-levels, looking for some more part-time hours doing something I love, earning extra money. You can trust me to treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. I will always ensure your home is left safe, clean, neat and tidy, while giving your pet plenty of love, attention and care. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet and home in someone else’s hands, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing both are in safe and reliable hands while you’re away

About: Hi! My name is Rosie, and I’ve been passionate about caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve gained hands-on experience through nearly a year and a half of voluntary work at a doggy day care, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, and keeping the dogs happy and entertained. What began as school work experience quickly turned into a long-term opportunity, as the staff invited me to stay on after I finished school. I also spent three months working on a farm, where I handled, fed, and cleaned a variety of animals as part of my training. I’ve completed my Level 1 Animal Care qualification and began working toward Level 2 before taking a job in retail, with plans to return and complete my studies. Alongside my practical experience, I’ve always had animals in my life — currently, I share my home with several dogs and cats, and have grown up around animals since childhood. I’m kind, reliable, and truly love caring for animals, which is why I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter. You can trust that your pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own x caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I take full responsibility for my own pets at home, making sure they’re fed, clean, healthy, and happy. Pet Care fits perfectly into my routine as it allows me to continue doing what I love — working with animals — even while balancing another job. My goal is to eventually pursue a full-time career in animal care, and this is a great step toward making that dream a reality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and aim to make the animals feel safe and secure. I follow any routines or instructions provided closely, as I know consistency is important for their well-being. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm body language, gentle handling, and positive interaction. I make sure the environment stays clean and hazard-free, always keeping an eye out for anything that could affect their comfort or safety. My priority is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel confident and relaxed while I’m in their home.

About: I’ve had around 10 years of experience caring for pets and have always been passionate about animals. Friends, neighbours and family regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, feeding, playtime and general care. I’m patient, reliable and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe and well looked after. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine and I have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. I’m available feeding, playtime and check-ins throughout the day, and I always make sure pets stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and well looked after at all times. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner regarding feeding, exercise and routines. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and needs, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime and care while their owners are away.

“Ria dropped in on my kitten, Luna and I could immediately tell they had a great time. She played with her and fed her and when I returned, Luna seemed really happy. I would definitely be using Ria again to look after Luna. Thanks again!”


About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets very seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away. I am a uni student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets outside of my studies. I am quite flexible. I am able to look after pets on some weekdays, evenings and weekends, and I am available full-time outside of term time. Due to my flat's pet restrictions, I only provide pet care services in my clients' homes, such as house sitting and home visits. This also helps your pets feel more at ease as they remain in a familiar environment while you are away.
“We had Rachel come and look after our cat Felix for the first time bank holiday weekend. Was so impressed from the moment we met her on the meet & greet. Rachel done a great job looking after our boy, she followed all our instructions, sent photos of him and left the house very tidy. When we returned Felix was a happy boy. Would have no hesitation in booking Rachel again and would definitely recommend. Thank you Rachel .”

About: I have experience with dogs through my business Dig&Dog, by helping out family and friends, and through voluntary work abroad.

“Jacqueline is lovely and was absolutely great with Kozel! She's very knowledgeable and understood exactly what Kozel needed. She did everything we asked and Kozel seemed really happy with her visit! Gave us photos, videos and good communication. We will 100% be using her again and couldn't recommend her enough ☺️”

“This is my first experience of this service. I contacted Maisie to care for my two cats. She responded promptly to my message and was spot on time for the introductory visit. Maisie asked relevant questions about the boys care and explained that I would receive photos and a message after the visit. I was happy with the care provided and would book Maisie again.”


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.

“10/10 Highly Recommend! If it were possible, I would leave a 10-star rating! Leanna did an amazing job and always stayed longer than the actual booked time. She even showed up within 10 minutes for an urgent visit when we were concerned about our little guy. If you get stressed about your pets while on holiday, definitely book her. She goes above and beyond, updating us every day with details and pictures. Eddie, my Russian Blue, absolutely loves her, and I am entirely confident that he is in good hands whenever I am away. Book her with confidence—your holiday will be completely stress-free! I will definitely be using her services again.”


“Lauren was lovely and friendly at the meet and greet and did a great job of looking after my cats and guinea pigs while we were away. We got lovely reports and photos - we will definitely book Lauren again ☺️!”


About: I’ve lovingly cared for family and friends’ pets, from Cavapoos, Miniature Schnauzers, and American Bullies to an eight-week-old Cane Corso puppy, gaining hands-on experience with different breeds and young pups. I also owned a Scottish Fold cat named Mochi, which gave me a strong understanding of feline care and behavior. I’ve been an animal lover since I was young and treat every pet with patience, warmth, and genuine care. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available every weekday from 7:00 PM onward for walks, playtime, and evening companionship to make sure your dog or cat feels cared for and never lonely. I also have weekend availability and am happy to help with house sitting or extended pet care during that time. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. My home features a fully secure garden where dogs can play safely. I always maintain a clean, pet-proofed environment to ensure every animal in my care stays happy, healthy, and secure.

About: I’m a caring, trustworthy and patient pet sitter with experience caring for puppies, senior dogs and post-operative dogs who need extra attention and gentle support. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I provide a calm, clean and loving home environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods maximum 2-3hrs only when necessary and I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks and rest based on their individual routine and energy levels. I’m confident caring for energetic puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior or recovering dogs who may require a slower pace, medication support, or extra comfort. I carefully follow all owner instructions to maintain routines and ensure pets feel settled and secure. Safety is always my top priority. Although I do not have a fully fenced yard, all outdoor time and walks are closely supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on leash when outside. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if caring for multiple dogs at once to ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe. It is really rare that I will look after multiple dogs at once as I do prefer to look after one dog so I can provide him a safe place and comfort, unless it's from the same household. I know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give owners peace of mind throughout the stay. In the event of any emergency or concern, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary care if needed. I am currently undertaking a first aid course for dogs. For safety reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to give them the love, care and attention they deserve. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with the pets I look after. I understand how important routine, attention, and patience are when it comes to animal care. Each pet is unique, and I always do my best to understand their personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care. I care for pets in my home in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in an apartment with access to a large, secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised play and exercise off lead, but only with the owner's permission. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I always follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, sleep, and any special requirements. Throughout their stay, pets receive plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and regular exercise to help them feel comfortable and at home. I'll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Nadia has been a life saver when we suddenly had a change on our work commitments and needed someone to take our dog out for wee break at a short notice. She's been extremely flexible and accommodating, and Misty was very happy will all the fuss she received! Thank you Nadia.”

Amara did a wonderful job taking care of our spaniel while we were away. She was flexible with changes, caring, patient and trustworthy. Bella loved her walks with her and really took a liking to her. Would highly recommend Amara and would definitely book her again ☺️

We had to arrange a cat sitter last minute and we’re so glad we found Adiba! She was so quick to respond and made everything really easy from the beginning. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular photos of Milo. With a more timid cat, we were happy to see Milo getting more comfortable and settled with her as the days went on. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands and would definitely recommend Adiba to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their pets. We’ll 100% be using her again whenever we go away!

Christina has been brilliant looking after our 2 cats while we were on holiday. She has gone above and beyond, not only feeding them but playing with them, giving some fuss and making sure everything was clean before our return. Daily photos gave us peace of mind. Ray and Ivy clearly loved her visits with the added opportunity for a meet and greet. We won’t hesitate to rebook Christina in the future. Thanks again 💙🩷

Second time booking with Chloe and would definitely do so again. She was so kind and sent great detailed updates with lovely pictures. The cats were clearly loving their time and its clear Chloe really cares for all animals! She even left a little report card so I knew what my two had been up to! Couldn't recommend more.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wigston is £12 per Visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £15 per Visit.
On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,985 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across the city of Wigston. About 87% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
Yes. There are up to 2,985 pet sitters offering care in and around Wigston. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
