“Gemma was amazing. The cats liked her immediately and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Thank you so much for taking care of our babies and entertaining them while we were away.”
“It was the first time we’d left our cats with a cat sitter. They are ten month old rescue cats and very nervous of lots of things particularly strangers. Lily was brilliant and they look really well on our return. We’ll definitely use Lily again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, with my grandmother who needed additional physical support for her beautiful Labrador, Bella, and my own two childhood cats growing up. I also had a yearly job looking after a Jack Russell called Harley for one or two weeks in the summer while the family went abroad. I am a very kind person, and I understand the importance of giving space to animals and reading their body language. I’m currently working part time in hospitality so I usually have plenty of time during the day and certainly in the mornings. Weekends do tend to be a bit tighter but I can do early morning care. I’m very central in Cheltenham with the ability to travel to homes, and if pets are okay with public transport, I like to do some walks up Cleeve Hill and Leckhampton Hill. I’m always happy to provide some company for the fur babies, with stop in visits to make sure they’re happy.
About: Hi, I’m Karolina! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were my own, I’d love to help. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve owned both a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix and a Miniature Pinscher mix, so I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a gentle giant or a little bundle of personality. I also worked in an animal shelter, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. My role included walking, feeding, transporting animals, caring for dogs recovering from surgery, helping new arrivals settle in and providing day-to-day care. Some dogs were full of confidence, while others simply needed patience, kindness and someone they could trust. That experience taught me how to adapt to each animal’s individual needs and always put their wellbeing first. Alongside this, I’ve looked after dogs through BorrowMyDoggy and spent three years living with and helping care for a Cocker Spaniel and a Westie. Caring for animals has never felt like a job to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always know how they’re getting on. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or special requests. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 I currently work in hospitality, so my schedule varies and often gives me extra flexibility throughout the week. In my free time, I love being outdoors and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention and care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve been on both sides. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, following their usual routine, respecting your instructions and making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. You’ll receive regular updates, photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well looked after.
About: I’ve looked after so many different breeds of dog for family, friends and neighbours, including my own pug and frenchie. I’m confident in applying topics medication, grooming and bathing I work flexibly full time, working from home 4 days a week. I go on daily hour long lunchtime walks anyway, as well as being free most evenings and weekends I’m comfortable in crating and grooming pets, as well as giving them peace or cuddles when they need or want it. I think I’m quite good at recognising animals signals
“Alex was brilliant when looking after our 2 cats! She was really friendly, easy to get on with, and we felt completely at ease leaving them with her. She understood their different needs and personalities right away - handling our very nervous cat perfectly, (including managing to give her medication) and giving our younger boy all the fuss and attention he needed! She kept the house tidy, cleaning up some cat sick, washing up bowls etc, and sent daily updates so we never had to worry. Could not recommend her enough!”
“This was my first tome booking Rebecca and certainly won’t be the last as she was super reliable, conscientious and took amazing care of my cat Naomi. I came back to a very relaxed and happy cat.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, growing up with four schnauzers and a cocker spaniel. I also had my own schnauzer, Teo, back in Colombia, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. I’ll care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I run my own freelance interior design business from my home studio, which gives me the flexibility to organise my schedule around my clients’ and their pets’ needs. This means I can offer home visits throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends where possible, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your preferred times. I’m also happy to arrange a free meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s the right fit for both you and your pet. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my priority. I currently offer home visits and dog walking, as I believe many pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind. At the moment, I don’t offer pet boarding at my own home as I don’t have a garden. However, it’s something I’d love to offer in the future when I have the right outdoor space. Until then, I’m committed to providing reliable, caring visits in your pet’s own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable.
“Thanks very much to Lisa, we had a lovely weekend away knowing that our two cats were well looked after. Really appreciate the support, we felt very confident leaving the cats in her care.”
About: I’ve always loved animals as a child and more so now as an adult. I have a miniature dachshund of my own & spend a lot of time with my mum’s 5 year old dog too. I have often spent spare time previously dog walking & visiting animals of friends & family whilst they were away. I can’t wait to meet you & your lovely pet!😊 I work full time but from home. So I am able to take care of your pet anytime of the day. Whether this is popping in throughout the day to check on them, walking them in the mornings, evenings and on my lunch. I can also house sit any day of the week as I am able to work from anywhere!😊 I am able to work with all breeds and types of animals. If your pet needs some extra care or has any additional needs please let me know, I am more than happy to help!
About: I started pet sitting some time ago when friends asked me to look after their dog. Over time, they recommended me to their friends, and my pet-sitting circle grew from there. I’ve also worked through another platform previously, and while I’m new to Rover, I’m happy to provide references if needed. I care for dogs the same way I care for my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I share my home with Rocco, my seven-year-old Collie x Labrottie who weighs 35kg, so I’m very comfortable handling larger, energetic dogs. Living with him has taught me how important routine is: the right balance of exercise, meals, rest, and quiet time makes all the difference to a happy dog. I love taking dogs out for walks to the park and giving them proper playtime, whether that’s fetch, tug, or simply letting them explore and sniff at their own pace. I’m confident managing strong dogs on the lead and ensuring they get safe, structured exercise suited to their energy levels. When a dog stays with me, I keep things as close as possible to their normal routine so they feel calm, secure, and at home. I notice each dog’s personality and tailor my care to what makes them comfortable and happy. For everyone’s safety, I only care for vaccinated dogs, so please make sure vaccinations are up to date. I have a relatively flexible schedule, as I split my time between some office work and house-based online work. This allows me to plan my day around the dogs in my care and give them proper attention throughout the day. I can take dogs out for walks up to three times a day (more frequently if I’m caring for a puppy), making sure they get enough exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I stick closely to each owner’s routine — feeding, walks, medication if needed — so pets feel secure and everything stays consistent. I give them plenty of attention, company, and mental stimulation, and I always keep communication open with owners. Building trust is really important to me, so I make sure both pets and their humans feel relaxed and reassured.
“Sian has been excellent with drop in visits to my young puppy. She is always punctual and an excellent communicator keeping me up to date with photos and information. Highly recommended”
“Freya was amazing with Beni! She is super organized, made sure to keep records of everything, and took him for a looong walk - exactly what he needed. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him, highly recommend!”
“Heather has been brilliant from the beginning, she came round a few times before the sitting date to learn the meds too. Heather is easy to communicate with and we came home to some very happy cats, we’re very grateful to her!”

About: have had my own and looked after various dogs in the past which I thoroughly enjoy. I miss being able to have my own pets I work Monday to Friday 9-5:30 but I’m usually free on weekends. Can occasionally do the odd evening and can be flexible in weekends x I have a back garden, very secure with no easy access to the road. I have a big park at the end of my road where I can take them for walks and I have a lot of space in the house.
About: I’ve always had a family dog since I was born - two weinmaranas. This encouraged me to walk both neighbours and family members dogs from a young age of 10. Therefore, animals have always been a passion of mine leading to me committing to a zoology degree at university. It has taught me how important animals are for our ecosystems as well as for our own health. Apart from university, I have no other commitments meaning I am only available on weekdays: Monday/Tuesday- 12:40-4:30, Thursday/Friday- 9:15-12:30. I am fully available over the weekend.

About: I am new to the pet setting world, however I've grown up and owned dogs all my life (including collies, spaniels, jack russels and labs). I've looked after friends dogs and spent time walking dogs on borrow my doggy.

I do have a job, which is why my free time is predominantly first thing in the morning, evening, Friday afternoons or weekends. I am happy to discuss possible lunch time drop ins via messenger.

I only offer care for pets in your home, so they are used to the environment. When out walking I also won't let them off the lead until we are confident they will recall.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Cheltenham
Lily recently looked after our cat Jojo while we were on holiday for 10 days. She sent us twice daily updates along with photos. We enjoyed receiving these and felt very reassured that Jojo was being very well looked after by Lily. When we returned home, Jojo was happy to see us. We will use Lily again and would recommend her.
Alex looked after my cat Lily really well, taking her outside almost every day on her harness since she loves being outdoors. She sent lovely photos of Lily and some short videos of Lily playing as well. She came reliably and I could relax on holiday knowing Lily was well looked after. Lily bonded well with Alex who gave her much needed cuddles. 🥰
Kate was great at organising and staying in touch. One of my cats was unwell when I was away and Kate was monitoring closely, took to the vets to be safe and gave the recommended treatments which made me feel super reassured until I could be back with my cat. Speedy responses and willing to help beyond the agreed visits due to the medical situation.
I've used Rover a couple of times before and Elise is by far the best sitter I've had. The photos showed she was interacting with the cats, giving them fuss and playing with them and when there was something she wasn't sure about she got in touch about it. Highly recommended and will definitely use again.
Having booked Ellie before, I knew she would be a fantastic sitter, and she didn't disappoint. Super helpful, kind, communicative and thorough, and really helpful when she noticed my cat had an eye injury. Again, came back to a lovely clean environment and two happy kitties ☺️ Would absolutely recommend!

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 trays. 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 socialisation 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
