“Aliyah took such great care of Pebbles! She had great communication, was punctual, and even called me every day so I could talk to Pebbles on the phone. It was my first time being away from my fur baby since I adopted her so I was a bit worried about how she would react. Aliyah took such great care of her for me which relieved my anxiety and Pebbles’ anxiety too! I am so grateful.”

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

About: I am a dog handler for work and have been doing this job for 3 years now. I grew up with big dogs and cats my whole life, and have so much love and compassion for all animals. I am currently working full time with a monthly schedule change. 1st month I will work from 4am-5 pm. 2nd month I will work 8am-5pm. And my 3rd month I will work 4pm- 5am shift. I will sometimes have to leave the local area for work but will be notified in advance! My schedule can seem kinda crazy but I love to work! I currently live in an apartment and won’t be able to do any pet care in my home, but I have no problem with traveling to your home to let your fur babies out for walks, play time, feed and whatever else they need!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid and I love all animals as if they were my own. I have experience caring for a variety of different pets, whether sick, injured or senior. I always show gratitude and quality care towards all pets and pet lovers in appreciation to their lives and to the homes we provide for our little loved ones. I currently work part time, therefore I have plenty of time to care for your pet and their individual needs. I am typically available during the long weekends, where you will be able to take time away from your pet assured that they will be in a loving, patient and caring environment. I have a big yard and a very nice community with trails that I can take your pet on long and adventurous walks. I give pets all the love and attention they could ask for and I respect and appreciate them as well. The safety and well being of your pet is my utmost priority.

About: I have taken care of friends, colleagues and neighbors pets over the past 20 years. Some of my residents would not trust their pets to anyone else (so I was told). Pet care would fit into my daily or weekly routine just nicely at this time. I was laid off recently and what better ways to spend my days than with animals. I have two big dogs and a cat but my daughter lives with me so I can come and care for your pets in your home while my pets are taken care of by my daughter.

About: Haven't had a pet in almost 10 years so I might be a little rusty but I have over 15 years experience with a medium/big dog (chow chow) and as well as a little dog (pekingese), Feral cat (bombay) trained to love and be loved and to be happy & friendly. As an trustworthy and friendly sitter and animal lover especially dogs, cats next. I have plenty room to still learn more and experience more, the patience I have with fur babies is because they're pretty much like our children. Smoke free, cage free unless trained and requires to be in a crate, walks every 4 -6 hours during the day until the early night and sometimes late night, unless pet has special requirements to take more walks it can be provided. And plenty of space and play time. Backyard is unfenced plenty of run around in the back area of the location area, plenty of nearby parks, basement is currently semi unfinished with no furniture with plenty of roam around room, with potential for setup area to cool off, eat, lay and relax, as well as play with access to the back area. If fur baby has separation, anxiety issue will try to help dog with that please notify if dog needs extra attention. ALSO KNOW AN EXCELLENT DOG TRAINER WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THIS CAN SEND YOU THE INFORMATION TO MAKE YOUR FUR BABY THE PERFECT GUEST IN SOMEONE'S HOME AND YOURS! (ISPEAKDOG) I'm currently working full/ part time with a flexible schedule on the road, and kina awkward sleep schedule where im up most of the time and random times but i able to keep up with a set schedule. so I do have flexibility with dog walks, play time, feed time, and down time will preferable be of course at night where I maybe either sleep or out working for a few hours but not interrupting fur baby resting hours unless special attention is needed also do have a back up person on site incase of emergencies. I currently have no pets again as of yet other than fish ... but provide a clean, spacious unfinished basement with windows is where animal will typically lounge at, unless it's one or two small little dogs that have anxiety mishaps. dogs may have the option to roam the house, but not beds they will have their own blanket or doggy bed to relax on. also available is a backyard entrance to let dogs out to use the rest room unfenced backyard so if you have a dog that is a runner or a trackstar a proper leash or harness with extensions is needed to let the fur baby roam and run without getting lost so fur babies will be able to play in the large back field area. PLEASE NOTE If you know your fur babies do not get along with others please let me know so i can try to keep them separate or get them use to the pack even with a watchful eye they are like kids they are likely to get in a fight and im not responsible for them incidents I promote safety, peace, playfulness and award good behavior, A space for eat, lay,and play, and time and energy for walks, and exercise and care!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Cheltenham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,096 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cheltenham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have 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 are 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 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cheltenham. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 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 reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
