Cat sitter jobs in Leicester, where two campuses and Stoneygate’s families keep the visits coming
Leicester mixes a diverse residential base, two universities and a settled professional crowd, and the pet those households leave behind when they travel is the cat. Someone local drops in to feed, refresh the water, sort the litter and send a photo, which is exactly what cat sitting on Petme covers. Cat visits in Leicester run £11 to £17 per 20 to 30 minute visit, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.

Local know-how pays off in Leicester
Leicester has a wet maritime climate with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter, and short winter days that leave a narrow window of daylight. Walkers who carry a raincoat and a towel, plan sheltered routes on the wettest days, and hold their slots through the drizzle keep the regulars that fair-weather walkers lose.
When demand peaks
Demand peaks over the summer holidays and across Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the commuting week.
Know your Leicester areas
Most cat bookings cluster Clarendon Park to Knighton. Owners book the sitter who can reach them quickly for a daily visit, so the areas you list matter more than the distance you are willing to travel.
Cat visits in Leicester’s southern suburbs
Stoneygate and Clarendon Park are leafy streets of professional households and family homes where indoor cats wait out long office days. The West End has renters and student flats near De Montfort University, and Knighton is a quieter suburb south of Clarendon Park. In both, a daily drop-in lets a cat stay home rather than go to a cattery. Oadby and Birstall bring quieter suburban rounds for anyone with a car. Visits usually fall in the morning and evening, often one or two short ones a day.
