About: I am looking forward to hosting dogs in my house. I have a 4 year old dog I recently adopted. He enjoys having other dogs come to visit! I'm a teacher so I am home weeknights and weekends to care for and play with your dogs. Your dog can sleep in my room or can be crated if that is preferred. I am also excited to explore my new neighborhood with dog walks in the evenings. I have recently moved to a new home that has a small front yard. There are trails nearby that I can use for dog walks.

“Sarah is detail oriented, communicative, and has an intuitive approach to caring for pets (in my case, cats). I have one social and one fearful cat, and after just three short visits she was already beginning to win over the fearful one. She sent photos during every visit and provided meaningful updates. I so appreciate her attentiveness and making both my cats and me feel comfortable while in separate places. Thank you Sarah!”

About: I have done dog/cat sitting since I was a teenager for family, friends, and neighbors. I have taken care of all different types of dogs of different ages and needs. I currently have a 6 month old puppy so I am used to that stage as well! I am at school most weekdays but can always do evenings 7 days a week. My schedule on weekdays during the day varies but I always have time available. I am very clean and neat and will not disrupt your living space or personal items when caring for your precious pets. I can follow whatever safety and security measures you prefer to access your pet.

About: I have working experience with a vast array of animals. I enjoy learning about different animals, creating species specific care guides and following them! I have experience shadowing at both a dog day care, and a veterinarian hospital. I am in college for Conservation and Wildlife Management, and have a senior dog, and a hamster of my own! I am currently taking a semester off from college, and would love to stay active throughout the fall and winter! I often love to explore new areas, and I'm sure a pet would too! I am very responsible to make sure all doors, gates, etc are closed and locked before leaving to ensure no pet escapes. Animal safety is a priority of mine, and I will be sure to follow any instructions left for this reason. I will also clean up any mess left by a pet that occurs while I'm there.

About: Hi! 👋 I'm your pets new best friend! I have three cats of my own whom I adore and I am an animal lover through and through. I will treat your baby like my own. I currently work full-time as an Animal Care Provider in an animal shelter; with experience in dealing with large and small dogs, cats, and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, and other rodents! I've also worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility for many years and have plenty of experience with dog handling and behavioral assessments. I am also CPR certified for dogs and cats. The most rewarding part of what I do is seeing the positive impact my care has on the animals, giving them the best life possible :) I currently work full-time in an animal shleter, but I am done every day by 3:30. I have off on Sundays and Mondays and would be fully available for those times! I am not available to board other animals in my current residence. I am hoping to move soon to have that be an option! While I am pet sitting in your home I will be a respectable and responsible guest and my top priority will be the well being of your pets. There will never be uncleaned messes, unwanted guests, or any intrusive behavior. I have full respect for your home and privacy!

About: Having the pleasure of being entrusted with caring for loved one’s fur babies, I have years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs. From small to large, puppies and elderly dogs. I have also had more than 3 dogs under my own care. I’m sure me and your fur baby will get along great, we both love long walks and snuggles! I currently work and go to school remotely which allows a lot of flexibility and with caring for pets. I am adaptable and can flex to whatever is your pets current routine. In either scenario my first step is to familiarize myself with the pet and their specific routine, habits, and possible triggers. To ensure the best care of the pet in my home, I will begin with ensuring the pet will experience as little of a difference in environment as possible. This will include monitoring noise levels, ensuring proper available space for pet to roam, etc. In the client’s home I will rely on the rules set forth to provide the preferred care.

Allie was amazing with our 9 year old dog!!! We always get a little nervous having a new sitter watch our 95 lbs American bulldog mix since he can be a handful at times, but once they met we knew he’d be in good hands. Allie was communicative, gave lots of photos and updates, and followed our instructions with ease!! Will definitely be reaching out again for future visits :)

This was the third time Matthew has cared for Toby, Twix, Tilly, and Tessi, and it was also the longest period I have ever been away from them. Each time, he consistently demonstrates genuine care, patience, and professionalism in handling my dogs and their individual needs. Toby is a special needs dog who requires a belly band, regular cleaning routines, skin care treatments, and close monitoring. In addition, right before my trip, Twix developed ulcers that required medications and eye drops, and Matthew managed his treatments carefully and patiently, even when administering them was difficult. Caring for four dogs is already demanding, but my situation is especially complex. My boys must remain separated due to fighting, the girls can be destructive with bedding, and accidents can happen. Finding someone willing and capable of managing these responsibilities has always been a major concern for me, especially when trying to travel to visit my fiancé. One of the things I appreciate most is the level of communication Matthew provides throughout the stay. He consistently sends updates and photos, and he is very attentive about voicing any concerns regarding my dogs’ health or behavior. That level of detail and attentiveness gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away and reassured me that my dogs were being carefully monitored and genuinely cared for. Matthew has given me complete confidence and peace of mind every time he watches my dogs. I am incredibly grateful for the compassion, reliability, and dedication he provides, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking attentive and trustworthy pet care.

You won’t regret hiring Deresha to take care of your little ones, she’s great and is even willing to meet you before you need services to make sure she’s a good fit for your mascots. Deresha is the best!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Cheltenham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Cheltenham is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 9,069 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cheltenham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Cheltenham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Cheltenham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
