“What a lovely and welcoming lady Rachel is. I felt complete trust that Basil would be well looked after for the day. I would certainly recommend Rachel to others and would love to take Basil back again. We walked past Rachel’s house this morning and Basil pulled to go back in 😁”
“Our whippet Cleo had a lovely time with Dominika and Adam. They were very responsive with messages and kept me updated during the evening. Cleo seemed very calm and content when I picked her up. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Daniela was a brilliant sitter! Showered our boy Dillon with so much love, and was super well prepared. We straight away booked her for another day as we've had a bit of a challenging week, and Daniela couldn't have been more helpful! Highly recommend!!”
“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”
“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++++”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and had a family dog from when he was a puppy until he sadly passed away last year at the age of 16. He was a Westie, and I helped care for him throughout his life, especially during his senior years. Because of this, I understand the different needs of both young, energetic dogs and older dogs who require a little extra care and patience. I’ve recently moved back from living in Sydney for a year, where I looked after a variety of dogs including Jack Russells and Goldendoodles. My experience included day care while owners were at work, dog walking during the day, and overnight stays while owners were away on holiday. I’m reliable, caring, and genuinely love being around dogs. After recently losing my own, spending time with dogs again means a lot to me. Pet sitting is a great way for me to enjoy the company of dogs while helping owners who need support with their pets, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a fully remote role (occasional office day a month) so I have plenty of availability during the week and some weekends. I have lots of time to walk, play with, and give attention to your furry friend! Im a 26 year old who’s just moved back to the UK from Australia. I am currently unemployed and looking for work, so I’m free all day every day in the week to look after and walk your fur babies! I have experience looking after my own dog and also my friends and family’s dog at their homes, taking out for walks and playing with them
About: I am a passionate animal lover. I am very protective of them and always try to look after their necessities (Food, water, walks, games...Inc. Giving oral medicine) I enjoy their company whether it is in an outdoor or Indoor setting... I like to spend some good quality time with all domestic pets! I have experience with elderlysenior & therapy dogs! :) I am currently working & studying part-time. My work timings are generally on Fri, Sat & Sun in the early afternoons and early evenings. My study times are fairly flexible. Yet, mostly during the day time! I am generally able to accommodate and plan around the pets needs as my part time job works on a log in- log out type of basis - giving me the freedom to choose if I'm able to take on the job(s) or not. I have a fenced small size garden at the back of my flat :) ...It is a very safe, clean and green environment for pets to utilise
About: I’ve had pets or looked after them ever since I was 10 years old, growing up in a household that at one point had a dog, a parrot and 4 cats! I’ve grown up loving animals and owned my own dog for the last 9 years. I trained him from 11 weeks old and I think he’s turned out pretty good ❤️ Instagram - maddierover 📸 I work from home regularly so am available through the day on many weeks, I am often also available at weekends. I try to keep my calendar as up to date as possible, but sometimes being away with work does come up last minute, if this happens I have a good network of friends who are also on Rover and we help each other out with clients. I can be pretty flexible because of being able to work from home, so would be around most of the day and in the evenings unless I have to go out for face to face meetings or have rugby training. Important for boarding - I have a a dog of my own (cocker spaniel), so for any enquiries for it’s important that they are good with other dogs. My flat backs onto rugby fields and I’m 5 mins from cleeve hill and the racecourse so there’s plenty of options for running around. I would like to know I’m a good fit for you and your pet and meet them prior to agreeing any work, so I can make sure that we can set mutual expectations and find out additional information such as dietary needs, or if they might chew my shoes 😅, so that I can ensure that I can take the best care of your fur baby. I allow pets on the furniture, but I will stay consistent with whatever your needs are for your pet and how they usually are at home.
“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 had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I’ve moved to Cheltenham for my work and I miss having a dog around so I thought I would look after them in my spare time while acting. I’m currently working as an actor, and I’ve got a couple of days off so I thought I would do Dog sitting as I couldn’t bring my dog up to Cheltenham so my dog is in back with my dad. Unfortunately, I can’t have dogs at my flat, but I’m more than happy to come over and dog sit at your house and take them for walks
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since a young age including dogs so I am very experienced in the daily care and responsibility that dogs require. I am reliable and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that dogs need regular exercise, attention, and care, and I am committed to meeting those needs consistently. My goal is always to make dogs feel comfortable, happy, and secure while they are in my care. I have so much time for dogs and their lovely characteristics. Nothing starts my day better than seeing that happy waggy tail coming through the front door. I have my own dog Reggie who’s more than happy to meet and greet each dog that comes into our home and loves the companionship that each dog brings. I have two late junior/teen children that love and have a deep respect for all animals and are delighted when dogs come to stay. We all hope to meet your dog soon. I have a secured garden and lots of room for your dog to play. There are also lots of cosy spots for your dog to choose from to feel comfortable.
“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.”
“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.”
“Our experience with Beth and Dan was perfect in every sense. Great comms throughout, offered an introduction of our Ewok with their dog Darcy (who is an angel), and made Ewok feel utterly spoiled. She loved her time there, and we'll re-book again in a heartbeat.”
“Can't recommend Claire enough, really helped us out incredibly last minute, and Ayce came home after day care incredibly chilled out and happy, he obviously had a great day!!”
“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.”

Used Rachel for the first time today and it went great. Barney has only been with someone new for a day care service once and so I was feeling quite nervous, however as soon as we arrived I knew Barney would be in good hands and the nerves went straight away! He has had a great day and I know he was well cared for, will definitely be booking again. Thank you :)
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
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
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 June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 801 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Cheltenham. About 87% 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 .
