About: I am a doctor and I love all dogs of all sizes. I am very experienced looking after puppies, senior dogs and dogs with health issues (Expert at hiding medications in various foods). Other general bits: - 11 years medical experience - enhanced DBS check - full clean drivers license I currently work 9-5 and I usually have weekends off and occasionally some week days which would allow me to look after pets! I go for walks often on my days off and having a dog to accompany me would be wonderful! I live in a first floor flat in a quiet residential area which would be ideal for smaller dogs. My only concern would be looking after your dog to the best of my ability and keeping them safe and happy.
“Shannon was warm and friendly. She ensured we had a meet & greet before walking Luka and asked me questions about Luka's needs. Shannon went the extra mile in looking after Luka for longer than agreed due to a mix-up by my mum, and she was very patient and understanding about it. Luka came home happy and nicely tired out from his walks. Would recommend Shannon and use her services again.”
About: I learnt the responsibilities of caring for dogs early on in my childhood. I have grew up with dogs since I was a baby, and have always had a deep love for animals. I took this passion and love of animals and wanted to pursue it as a career. I studied animal management at college where I gained 3 years work experience in a boarding kennel. I then wanted to expand my knowledge further and continued my studies at Hartpury University in Canine Training and Performance, where I graduated with a 2.1 (upper second-class honours). Through this time I have gained a lot of experience on caring for a wide range of animals. Including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and even pigs! I volunteered at a pig rescue in Ireland where I learnt a lot about these spectacular animals, who are a lot like dogs! I've learnt to deal with animals of all kinds of temperaments and how to pick up on body language to adapt my approaches quickly to ensure safety for all parties involved. This also helps to ensure that the animals are as stress free as can be. I do work full time however, I am typically available Mondays and Tuesdays, and most evenings. However this can change due to my work schedule. I have a fenced of garden to ensure security during their stay. I am also very knowledgeable about canine behaviours and training so am easily able to pick up on signs of distress when out on a walk to adapt and change to the environment
About: Hi, I’m Emily! 🐾 I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I had my own Border Collie from the age of 4 until I was 21, so I grew up caring for her and being responsible for her day to day needs, from feeding and walking her to giving her lots of love and attention. Since then, I’ve continued to look after friends and family members pets, and I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be a big decision, so I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to provide plenty of walks, attention, playtime and cuddles. I absolutely love dogs and would be delighted to meet yours! 🐶❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can fit walks and drop in visits easily around my routine. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with timings where possible. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and make sure they get the care, exercise and attention they need. 🐾 When your dog is in my care, you can expect lots of love, attention and plenty of tail wags! 🐾 I’ll take the time to get to know your dog and understand their routine, personality and individual needs. Whether we’re out enjoying a walk or spending time together during a drop in visit, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. You can expect regular updates about how your dog is doing, and I’m always happy to send photos from our time together. My aim is for you to feel completely reassured knowing your dog is in safe and loving hands. ❤️
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.
“Freya is absolutely lovely! She was kind, professional, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Benicio enjoyed his time with her a lot - he came back happy and relaxed. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Freya!”
About: I've been around many different dogs my whole life. I grew up in a family where everyone has a dog, including myself. I love working with dogs and love helping out people with their pets. Family members, neighbors and friends have relied on me to look after, walk and check in on their beloved fur-babies. I am currently working part time, so I can work around you and your fur-baby's schedule! I am available most mornings and some evenings depending on my work shifts. I make sure to understand what you and your pup need from me when going on a walk. I will ensure that you dog is well supervised in public areas, especially if they are well trained off lead. Along with walks, I am happy to take them to a park and play ball with them, if you are comfortable with me doing so.
About: Hi there! We’re Matt and Daniela, lifelong dog lovers who truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Matt grew up with two dogs and has always enjoyed their company. Together, we’ve looked after many friends’ dogs over the years — sometimes for just a day, other times for several weeks at a time. We know how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. That’s why we offer the same care, attention, and love we would give to our own. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or keeping up with your dog’s routine, we make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Your dog will enjoy fresh air, plenty of playtime, and endless affection with us. We’d love to meet your furry friend and make them feel at home — because when they’re with us, they’re part of the family. Daniela mostly works from home, so your pet will have company throughout the day — plenty of time for cuddle breaks, playtime, and regular walks to keep them happy and relaxed. We have a fenced garden to make sure your pet is safe when playing outside. Please let us know if there is anything we need to know to make sure your dog is safe with us.
“We felt very comfortable leaving Otis with Lisa whilst we went on holiday. He loved her as soon as they met and enjoyed every walk. Lisa also left detailed messages after each walk and I would definitely use her again!”
About: I have a few years of hands-on pet care experience, including looking after the same dog consistently for two years while at university. I’ve also cared for dogs through BorrowMyDoggy, which gave me the chance to build experience with different breeds, personalities, and ages. I’m confident with both energetic pups and older dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is my reliable, calm approach and genuine love for making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. Right now I’m between jobs, which means I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week and weekends. I can easily fit walks, playtime, and pet care into my daily routine, and I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s schedule and needs. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, whether I’m in my home or theirs. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and play, and I’m careful to follow any special instructions from owners. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of attention, so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.
“Lily was great . She came and visited us before the walk so the dogs could meet her and on the day let me know how it went. Communication is excellent . You can see Lily loves animals and I’ve booked her again ! ?”
About: I have been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up with them, having them as pets, and looking after friends' dogs has only deepened my love of them. I offer reliable dog walking and visiting services, to dogs of all ages, every weekday from 9 am, along with comfortable boarding at my home. Whether your dog requires a refreshing countryside adventure, a fun park outing, an energetic playtime with games and balls, or a gentle local stroll, I am dedicated to providing the ultimate care and enjoyment for your furry friend. I have lots of time in the week to walk and play with your lovely dog. I’m available on weekdays from 9am. I also offer boarding in the week and on weekends. I have a fenced garden, with plenty of space to run around outside or play with a toy. I owned a dog for 15 until she passed recently, so my house is dog friendly.
“My dog is really anxious and can be reactive to other dogs without careful management. My dog warmed to Alex straight away. She really took the time to get to know him and his routines and had an amazingly successful walk! Thank you Alex!”
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. I will follow all the owners instructions of the routines and/or equipment they would like me to use appropriately to ensure the best care for their pet.
About: I'm someone who's always had a soft spot for dogs and animals. I absolutely love going on long walks in the park more than anything, and would love having some company. Whenever my friend head out of town, I happily step in to look after her two adorable cockerpoos. Those weekends are filled with cuddles, playtime, and all the care they could ask for. I'm most of my friends go to person to look after their pets when they go on holiday. :) I have a very flexible schedule and work from home most days, so I'm easily available anytime of day. When it comes to following your rules and sticking to your pet's routine, consider it done. Your fur babies will be in the best of hands, and I'll make sure they have the best time. I work from home most days, with a very flexible schedule. I’m pretty much available most mornings, during the day and most evening until quite late I am not able to host any pets. Taking care of pets in your home, I understand is a huge amount of trust, however i’m a very respectful person and would follow all and any instructions.
“Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter! Very responsive in communications before and after the visit, and sent through questions to help her get to know Poppy, her routine, preferences, and ongoing training needs. Her genuine love of dogs shines through and Poppy loved her immediately. Poppy is an exuberant and strong six month old puppy and Ruby handled her with ease. We look forward to having ruby look after Poppy again in the future.”

Izabela looked after our dog whilst we were staying at a hotel so that we could take advantage of the spa for a couple of hours. Communication was clear and prompt and she turned up early to meet us and Luca and we were re-assured that he would be well cared for which indeed he was. Thanks
My dog chooses his own walkers/minders and given how he bounces up and down in delight when Clare arrives at the door, he has obviously made his decision !! Clare’s quiet and calm demeanour is perfect for my excitable little mutt, and I feel completely relaxed when she takes him out. Regarding my dealings with her, she has shown remarkable patience with my uncertain situation, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a professionally minded and reliable walker and sitter.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cheltenham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
