“Sali had a great day with Rachel. She had plenty of exercise and lots of play with her ball. She was happy and excited when I collected her. Would definitely let Rachel look after Sali again. Thank you very much.”
“Heather was amazing with my puppy Stella I will definitely be using her again. It was great she could play with Heather’s own dog and her lovely daughter to help her socialisation. I knew Stella was safe and having fun and she didn’t even want to come home!”
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
“Angus had a wonderful day with James and Leah. He can sometimes be a bit nervous in new places but he had two walks in the morning with their dog and family and was comfortable enough to eat his lunch there which is unusual for him. Leah was very reassuring when I dropped him off. I’d be very happy to use their services again in future. Thank you”
“Laura was a great communicator, she sent photos though out the stay. She was friendly and accommodating to our dogs needs. We felt really happy leaving our rescue dog with her. Thank you!”
“Leanne and her partner Pav, are such lovely and warm people and also big dog lovers! Ripley had a lovely time with them and they kept on sending pics with updates throughout the day. 😊🐾”
“Maria looked after our Rodeo at short notice and was the best companion! Kept us updated with pictures and even let him steal some old socks! He came back a very happy boy!”
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.
“Absolutely fantastic! I cannot recommend Toby enough. Excellent communication. Very flexible. Calm. Our dogs loved him and have come home utterly shattered and happy! Toby was also completely unphased by our rescue who has a few quirks!”
About: We've always had dogs as a family, from Shelties to Golden Retrievers and now the cutest cream coloured dachshund, so I am used to caring for puppies, right through to senior dogs in their last few days. I am a gentle kind caring person with the patience to work quietly with any dog to ensure they overcome any anxieties or stresses, providing them with the right kind of walk on or off lead, be it in a secure field, open country side or local park. I helped out when a family member bred their Golden Retriever, helping at feed times, ensuring all puppies were fed , warm and safe and the cleaning up that came with it, to ensure a clean environment was maintained. My day is built around dog care, having recently retired from 9 to 5. Your dog will have my full attention and focus. I love walking and being outside in the fresh air, come rain or shine. I have a secure fenced large tranquil garden, for dogs boarding with me , and inside a large open plan kitchen dining area for them to relax and enjoy their own space, finding a cosy corner for their bed or blanket.
“Kim helped with pick-up and drop-off when we requested, which we really appreciated. The care was good overall, but communication was quite slow. Thank you for taking care if Lara for the day.”
About: I have gained experience in dog care working at my local dog kennels for around a year. Working there, I met a lot of different temperaments and breeds of dog and had to learn about how to personalise your care for the different types of dogs and their needs. I dealt with feeding time, medication, play time and hygiene such as grooming, poo picking and cleaning up after them. Although we never had a dog growing up, I have a lot of love for them and always enjoyed going round to friends and families houses to play with theirs so I get a long with them well. We did however have a cat growing up for a short period. He was an older cat that someone had to sell on and we miss him alot. I feel very comfortable around cats and absolutely love playing with them or just chilling with them. I realise cats don't take as much time to care for as dogs and drop in visits would probably suffice. I am happy to accept cats in my home for longer periods and would charge less accordingly. I have put down five years pet care experience as we have had numerous small pets over the years such as guinea pigs, fish and hamsters which needed attention and care. I have also looked after friends and families dogs, along with working at a dog kennels for a year so I feel it is an apt judgment of my experience. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to see you and your pets soon :) I currently study at the University of Gloucestershire and work one day a week on Sundays. I am at home all other times of day, aside from when I have uni on Tuesday and Wednesday morning and work on Sunday. It has been very easy to fit dogs into my schedule as I am very flexible and can study at home with the dog to keep me company, or I can take my work to you if needs be! I have a walled garden and live next to a wonderful park and the Honeybourne line so there os plenty of space for walks and places to play fetch. My home is very pet friendly with no kids, I live with two other professionals who are quiet and tidy and who absolutely adore dogs and cats too. Previous dogs have felt very comfortable in my home and enjoy sleeping on the bed for the extra comfort while their owners are away 😊 I like to spend as much time as possible with your pet and would love to do as much or as little as you think would be right for your pet.
“Sophie was once again an absolute star with Joey! As he was unfamiliar with being in new surroundings, he unfortunately left his "mark" in multiple places in Sophie's house shortly after we arrived. Sophie was very understanding and forgiving :-) Joey has a great day exploring and giving and receiving cuddles, and Sophie was kind enough to brave the storm to drop him at home quite late at night. Fab experience again and I will have no hesitation in continuing to use Sophie's services and recommend her to others.”
About: My name is Annabelle and I live in Cheltenham. I have owned dogs as family pets for the last 12 years and grew up around dogs. As a teenager I would walk family and friends dogs daily but unfortunatley couldn't own them due to my parents work schedules!! My children have grown up around dogs (and cats) and show so much affection towards them. I enjoy walks in the woods in our local area as well as travelling further afield to take advantage of longer walks. I have set my availiability calendar to the days that I work from home. I am more than happy to visit your dog daily, I can either walk them alone or with Buddy. Or they can come and play with Buddy whilst I am home. I work with the door open so your dog can be inside and outside as much as they like. I have a fenced garden and the back door is open at all times whilst I am here. Buddy, my dog, will be in the house too so they will have a friend to play with. I have a medium and large crate available should you require your dog crating at anytime.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Cheltenham is £25

Izabela was very prompt in her response to my last minute enquiry for availability to look after my two cocker spaniels for the day. I appreciated her request to meet with the two dogs and myself prior to the day, especially to establish that they are fine with other dogs. This was the first time that they have stayed away from home with a non family member, and Izabela was very attentive. I liked that she was waiting for us (we turned up late) and immediately took them for a walk. I understand that once they were settled, they were fine. Thank you, Izabella, you were very accommodating. 🙂🐶
Casper had his first daycare with James & Leah and had the best day ever. They were very considerate of his needs & play style to make sure he would get on with other dogs, and he had a fabulous day in a secure field and snoozing with company. I received lots of photos of him looking very happy chap, couldn’t ask for more, thank you!
Charlotte was very friendly and knowledgeable. She adapted to the needs of my puppy and the warm weather. She was very accommodating and thorough with what the dogs will do and where, while in her care. She has a lovely and comfortable area and garden for the dogs.
Dominika and Adam were fantastic and took great care of our two miniature Dachshunds, Nori and Nala. They were incredibly responsive and made us feel completely at ease during the handover in the morning. It was clear from the start how caring and attentive they both are. They even took the girls for a lovely walk around the beautiful park just across the road from their flat. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate sitters. Thank you x
Luna loves going to Leah's, I always know she's happy and well cared for and getting lots of enrichment. She loves having a run and play with the other dogs and cuddling up with Leah and James. They have done an amazing job at making her comfortable in a new place
We had a great first experience using Rover and booking with Hannah. She took the time to meet us beforehand, which really put us at ease. Our youngest can be a bit nervous, but the updates and photos showed both dogs having a brilliant time and settling in really well. Everything felt easy, reassuring, and well organised, we’d definitely book with Hannah again.
It was our first time leaving Nacho with Anna and her family. She introduced the family members one by one so he wouldn’t feel overwhelmed. She took him for a walk and all the family played with him. He had a lovely time and we will definitely be using her again!!

There are 833 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Cheltenham. About 85% of Cheltenham sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Cheltenham commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

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.
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 .
