“Bracken had a wonderful stay with Rachel whilst we were away. He was very well taken care of and we were sent updates and photos showing us how he was getting on. He enjoyed himself a lot.”
“Mark was fantastic. Kept us beautifully in touch and looked after our spaniel Coco wonderfully. She didn’t want to leave! Couldn’t have been better, highly recommend.”
“Dominika and Adam were fantastic. Great communication before and during our dog’s stay with them. Lola seems to have had a great time there and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend!”
“A very warm welcome to help Hazel settle in - she clearly had a wonderful time and was very much treated as one of the family. I know she’s looking forward to her next stay!”
“My girls didn’t even hesitate when Georgina opened the door to them, they ran straight in and made themselves at home, the best home setting I could wish for for them. We were updated with how things were going throughout the stay and I wasn’t worried for a minute. Georgina and her family are the only people we want the girls to go to when we go away. Thank you”
“Kell deserves five stars, a medal, and possibly honorary dog status after his week with Cassie. He and his family clearly treated her like one of their own — she came back happy, well-fed, and with the unmistakable air of a dog who’s been on a better holiday than her owner. Plenty of walks, lots of care, and (judging by her contented expression) zero complaints from the guest of honour. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure she wanted to come home. Would absolutely trust Kell again — though I suspect Cassie may try to rebook herself first.”
“Tango enjoyed his stay, and was noticeably happy on arrival and when we picked him up. He was played with, walked and had plenty of attention. I was updated everyday, low detail but was away abroad, so it was appreciated! Will use again!”
“We cant rate Daniel highly enough, Frankie had a day with Daniel and he was fantastic. Our beautiful Border Collie had the best time. We won't hesitate in using him again... He was extremely attentive and even kept us informed throughout the day. Thank you so much.”
“Remy had a great time with Daniela! She was very attentive to his needs and provided us with lovely updates during his time with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Can’t recommend Heather highly enough. Looked after our boy so well - a real home from home for him! Communication was great and we really appreciated the photos and updates of him enjoying himself! Thank you!”
“Amazing - thank you so much Roy for looking after Alfie. Really appreciated how you were able to look after him at really short notice. Felt very confident leaving him with you knowing that you would take care of him especially as he can be reactive and anxious. Think he enjoyed his time with you, especially the 3 walks a day - totally spoiled him :-)”
“Kristen and her husband are lovely people. I felt so at ease. My spaniel Bella looked relaxed straight away, I loved the pictures of her during the day and will def be requesting more doggie day care ❤️”
“Sarah looked after my pup for 3 weeks during my relocation back to the UK. I can’t recommend her enough, she was flexible at short notice and super accommodating. But above all she truly treated Cookie like her own. I will definitely be using her services again ❤️”
“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”
“Izabela communicated clearly throughout and Odin returned home a very happy boy. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy, he is well and truly tired after an exciting sleepover!”
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.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Cheltenham is £35

Halley & Ed have looked after our dog, Dora, twice in a short space of time, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they’ve given her. They are both fantastic, and it’s clear that Dora absolutely loves staying with them. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in safe, caring hands while we’re away. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of Dora. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you!
I 100% recommend Hannah for an overnight stay. I have a large, male GSD who currently requires medication and has a changeable but set exercise regime and I was very concerned about leaving him for a long weekend when I would unavoidably be away without him, and I knew he would be most comfortable in his own home. I contacted Hannah, she came for an initial meet and then two walking sessions prior to staying for two nights. She communicated very well before the weekend and sent updates of his walks and confirmed his medication had been given, she sent photos of him chilling at home during my time away (without swamping me with messages). When I returned Buzz hardly looked up he was so relaxed, the house was left in perfect condition and I am delighted with support that Hannah gave us.
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. 🐾
There's no one we trust more with Barney than Leanne and Pav. They take such good care of him every time. He's a very anxious boy who has specific needs but they are so patient with him and they are the only people beside us who he feels comfortable and confident with. Thank you as always! ❤️
Stephanie was great with TimTam, she took time to really understand his little quirks and habits that a lot of people miss. I could tell when I dropped him off that he really got on well with Stephanie after our trial session. He was very excited to see her. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and would use her for future trips. Always nice to see daily updates and lots of pictures as well :)
Nellie became part of the family very quickly and was looked after as such. Nellie was cared for with love and affection and treated to lots of walks, play, cuddles and doggy birthday parties! She made lots of friends. Nothing was too much trouble. I was kept fully up to date with lots of photos and videos which showed Nellie having a lovely time! I would not hesitate to book again, thank you so much!
Daniela cared for our 2 dogs for 5 nights. We met her in the park a few weeks before to get to know her and talk through their habits, schedule etc. She gave us regular updates and was very easy to communicate with. We picked them up with no hassle and they seemed to have enjoyed their stay. Thanks Daniela, I’m sure we will see you again!
Both Adam and Dominika have been really great, from the first trial walk to taking Nala for a last minute doggy day care session to help us feel comfortable ahead of our planned dog boarding bookings. They've looked after Nala so well and kept us updated throughout with how she was getting on! Both us and Nala are looking forward to her next boarding visit this weekend
Sarah was great from start to finish with Loki's first time staying with her. She put my kind at ease with the first video call to discuss details, to the regular updates with videos, to Loki being tired and happy from a stimulated stay. With a variety of dog walks and attention. Thank you Sarah. Loki will be back soon. I highly recommend Sarah if you need a reliable and caring sitter for your fur baby
Milo has just again had the most incredible time with Claire. She absolutely loves dogs and understands them so well. Nothing is too much trouble for her. I loved all the updates and photos of him out walking with her. Milo has really enjoyed his weeks holiday. Thanks Claire xxx
Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Even though it was a last minute, fnrom the start, Tilly was really easy to talk to and just genuinely friendly, which made everything feel super relaxed. Frankoe can be a bit anxious around new people, but Tilly handled everything with patience and care. It was obvious she genuinely love animals and take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me Frankie was happy & comfortable. When I got back, Frankie was happy and had clearly bee. well looked after. It’s such a relief knowing I can leave him with someone I trust. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Cheltenham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cheltenham on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 796 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 .
