“Pablo had such a lovely time staying overnight with Heather and her daughter. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so reassured and comfortable! Pablo loved playing with Heather’s dog Honey in their garden, and he came back such a happy and snoozy boy who had clearly had a fab time. We received regular updates and photos too - a perfect stay! Thanks so much Heather.”
“James took great care of Bailey and I couldn’t be happier with her stay. He sent me regular updates and photos throughout, which was really reassuring and gave me peace of mind. Bailey came home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent, and the whole experience was smooth from drop-off to collection. I would definitely book with James again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Mark and Helen were fantastic with Milly, when my husband collected her she was full of beans, it was obvious she had a great time. They are very nice people who love dogs, the communication was great we received photos and messages daily with updates. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Milly with them again, we can highly recommend Mark and Helen. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little Milly monster. Bill and Lynn”
“Dominika was able to help us out last minute thanks to her responsiveness. Bailey had a great time in a safe and caring environment and from the photos he was clearly very happy during his time with Dominika.”
“Rachel was great with George. She sent photos and updates and was really understanding when I picked him up late in the evening due to a delayed flight. He was clearly very happy there 🐕🦺😁”
“Piper had a good 3 week stay with Daniel. We received updates throughout, which really put our minds at ease, and by all accounts she was very well looked after. When she was collected happy and content we’d definitely recommend Daniel and would happily book again!”
“Our two dogs had a wonderful time with Kell while we were on holiday. They were treated as part of the family and went on lots of adventures, when we picked them up it was really clear they'd formed a bond and felt really safe and happy in Kell's home.”
“Morris has had two overnight stays with Anna recently. He is a little dog full of character and funny habits and Anna looked after him beautifully. He was very happy to see her so we know he enjoyed his stay which made us relax in the knowledge he was being taken good care of. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area.”
“Susan and her family made our little Pip VERY happy! She clearly had a wonderful time with the family (including with Ozzy the dog), looked extremely settled, and returned home a very relaxed dog. Enormous thanks to you all.”
“Daniela was so lovely and warm, Luka was immediately at ease in her home and I was very happy leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and photos and Luka looked super relaxed and happy in them! He came home very reluctantly after clearly having a great time. Would not hesitate to recommend her :)”
“I booked my two furry babies for a week with Hayley and I'm really pleased with the service. Really personal service with great communication too. I know when my dogs are happy, and they came back to me happy. Great service x”
“With it being Ambers first time away from us she she joined our family, we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful, warm, friendly and playful environment for her to stay. Beth, Dan and Darcy really did make it a home away from home for her. So much so she didn’t want to leave lol! Beth and Dan are so lovely and even met with us before booking to make sure it was a right match for us all. During our time away Beth kept us up to date with messages and pictures of Ambers stay 🥰 It was so reassuring in knowing our not so little pup was in great hands and paws while we were away 🥰”
About: I’ve had pet dogs since I was 8 years old and have grown up looking after them, we had 5 of our own dogs at my family home, all of 3 different breeds. I am a huge cat and dog lover and love every single animal, looking after and being with animals is my passion! I also have lots of experience with cats after having and looking after them for years! I work full time but I am available at weekends from Friday evening to Sunday evening, I can also accommodate to weekday evenings too and boarding but will have to leave early morning in the week. I have a fenced and good sized garden, I have dogs of my own but if your dog needs to be alone, I can also accommodate to this and have them stay at my family house.
“Lydia and her partner were absolutely brilliant with my dog Nala. She’s a very nervous and anxious dog around strangers but they made her feel at home straight away which put me at ease as I was nervous about leaving her. Will 100% use again!”
“Sarah was very welcoming from the start. She and her family all love dogs and embraced mine with all their little quirks and foibles. A relaxed home where dogs are warmly invited to be part of her family. Thank you very much indeed.”
About: I would be delighted to welcome your dog to stay in my quiet, safe home. My partner Seb and I have had Birdie, our rescue greyhound, for 2 years. Before adopting Birdie, I grew up with a dog and I've volunteered with dog-walking charities over the years and walked dogs and done catsitting for friends and relatives. When Birdie joined the household, I had to help her adjust to her new surroundings and life as a family pet. With time and patience, she's settled in wonderfully. Birdie loves the company of other hounds and I'm hoping to welcome some new visitors into our pack. Meet-and-greets / trial visits welcome. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! I work from home so there is usually always someone around during the work day. (I am out on Tuesdays so not currently taking Tues bookings). I tend to walk first thing, before the working day, and again after work. There are playing fields, open countryside and neighbourhood footpaths in the local area, and I can tailor walks to your dog's preferences and needs. Enclosed back garden for toilet opportunities through the day. I have an enclosed back garden (6-foot fences). Caring for an ex-racing greyhound, I'm well versed in ensuring that the home environment is safe, secure and peaceful. Meet-and-greets / trial visits welcome, and if you have any specific questions/requirements please don't hesitate to get in touch.
“Cleo had an amazing time with Georgie and family. They were all so kind and welcoming with lots of pictures of activities and a genuine interest in her wellbeing, we had complete peace of mind. Highly recommend sitter.”
“Such a lovely lady, took great care of my Maya, she went on walks, was payed so much attention and shown so much love, she was very happy in your care which makes me so happy. We will definitely be asking Izabela when we need Maya looking after again 100%, I would highly recommend her xx”
“The second time we have booked Emma to look after Trixie at this time of year, and Trixie has loved it both times, especially spending time with Emma's parents three dogs. Took photos and videos too, and even gave her a Christmas present. Highly recommended.”

Leanne and Pav took such good care of Max while we were away. It was clearly a happy and loving home and they welcomed and cared for Max like he was their ow. Max was clearly very happy there. And the photo and video updates put me completely at ease about leaving him. He will definitely be going back!
Marcus and Mia were such a lovely couple - I really appreciated the daily updates, and I know Luna had a wonderful time because she came back absolutely pooped! I was also very grateful for their flexibility on timings as we were travelling quite a distance and had traffic to consider, etc. Overall a great experience. 🐾
Dan was very responsive from the first time we contacted him and also giving us updates and photos while he looked after my Dad’s Dachshund Maverick, which gave my Dad peace of mind. He took Maverick for lots of walks and Dan seemed to bond well with him. Would definitely have Dan look after Maverick again!
James is absolutely fantastic. I'll admit, I only joined Rover in a pinch because I'd left it too late to book a kennel for an August holiday. However I now see that as a happy accident as it lead us to James, and I'd be happy to use him again in future. He kept us up to date with photos and messages, and Lola has come home completely chilled after having a great time in James's care.
Winnie had such a lovely time staying with Natalie and her family. Natalie kept us up to date and sent pictures for us to see how she was getting on and Winnie looked really happy and settled there right from the start. She was walked regularly and very much part of the family. We would highly recommend Natalie.
We are absolutely blown away with the care Roy gave our little Border Collie whilst we were on holiday. We received regular updates with Photos and videos and it was abundantly clear Frankie was having the absolute best time. Thank you so much Roy for everything. ❤️
Sarah and her family were fantastic - they allowed a wonderful meet and greet beforehand, and just felt so welcoming to both Cooper and I. I rarely leave Cooper with people outside of family and friends, and Sarah and her family made me feel so comfortable to do so - they sent pictures and updates throughout the week, and looked after him so well. When I picked him up he was clearly so happy and comfortable with them and in their home environment, it was lovely to see. I will definitely be looking for Sarah’s availability again in the future when going away. Highly recommend. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my boy!
I've used Nadiya's pet-sitting services twice now, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She is caring, professional, and genuinely loves animals. My dog is always relaxed, happy, and very well cared for in her company, which means I can fully enjoy my holiday knowing she's in loving and capable hands. Nadiya is an absolute godsend, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy patient and reliable pet sitter. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cheltenham on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 791 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cheltenham. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
