About: I have grown up around animals all my life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of everyday life for me. While I was away at university, I was trusted to look after other people’s pets, giving me experience caring for animals with different needs, ages, and personalities. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and getting to know their individual characters, while making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I work full-time during the week (9–5), but I’m available for pet visits before or after work, as well as on weekends. I enjoy spending my free time being active and getting outdoors, so I’m always happy to fit walks into my schedule where needed. Whether your pet needs company, feeding, playtime, a walk, or simply someone to check in while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I take safety and trust seriously and will always make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to get to know their individual personality, needs, and preferences, so they feel as relaxed and settled as possible while they’re in my care.
“Izzy was fantastic from the get go. She went above and beyond to ensure Cooper felt safe and happy. I couldn’t recommend Izzy enough she is just brilliant. I’ve never felt so reassured with a dog sitter before. Thank you Izzy A++++”
“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. 😊🐾”
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.

“Thankyou to Bethany and Dan,Absolutely fantastic, my dog was so well looked after, their dog is so nice and friendly. It was my first time using daycare and I couldn’t of asked for a better experience, they kept me updated with photos and were flexible on pickup and drop off times, sorry again for the early mornings 🫣. Thankyou!”
“Annabel helped me at the last minute, when we didn't have time for a meet and greet. Our dog is new to us and has limited training so I was worried about leaving him for the first time. He came home happy and tired. She asked all the right questions and was really reassuring. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Kristen was very communicative to accommodate Rocco at short notice and completely reassured me before arrival On arrival she made such a fuss and showed him and I around and off he trotted tail wagging with his new friends. I got updates during the day to put my mind at rest for his first visit and she even had plenty cuddles with him. I took home a very happy and tired doggo who was full of tail wags We will be back!”
“Leah was AMAZING! It was the first time we left our puppy with somebody. Our puppy loves going to their house and see’s it as a second home now where he can play and get lots of love from Leah all day long.”
“Nadiya was very welcoming and my dog warmed up her to immediately. She kept me up to date with how Gigi was doing which was much appreciated considering it was snowing. I would highly recommend Nadiya to anyone x”

“Bethany was excellent. Phoebe settled with her straight away. She sent photos of her whilst out on their walk and when collecting Phoebe I’m sure she’d have been happy to stay. Can’t recommend Bethany enough. Thanks again, Phoebe & Karis”
“Louise was absolutely amazing with our little puppy Oreo. He doesn’t like being left and she was so flexible in terms of his care to make sure he was happy. Oreo had a great time for 3 days and we are so grateful for the kindness you showed Oreo. We would highly recommend Louise to anyone.”

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.
Sarah was fantastic with our super nervous elderly dog, communication was great throughout and she kept us updated with photos and videos during Evie’s stay with her which was really reassuring as this was her first time away from home. Would definitely recommend Sarah
Our whippet Nugget had a lovely first day with Rachel. She is tired out today after all the fun socialising! Rachel was fantastic and caring. I felt completely comfortable leaving Nugget with someone who obviously understands dogs so well. She was flexible and understanding about my delayed train. Would highly recommend her.
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
Izabela is very experienced and Casper felt at home right away in her house. He can sometimes be stressed when I leave him, but it sounds like she did a great job helping him settle and he enjoyed play with other dogs. I felt assured leaving him in her care, thank you Izabela!
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!!
We used Sophie and partner for day care, and it was great! Had last minute availability, was flexible with timings. Mickey was well looked after and he was certainly tired that evening. Thank you and Mickey would look forward to returning if you will have him 😃

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cheltenham on Rover is £26.45 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 817 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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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 .
