“Bellatrix had a fabulous stay. It was our first time using a sitter and all my concerns were alleviated upon first meeting. Rachel and her family made sure Bella’s felt at home and she settled v quickly. Cannot recommend enough”
“James took great care of Bailey and I couldn’t be happier with her stay. He sent me regular updates and photos throughout, which was really reassuring and gave me peace of mind. Bailey came home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent, and the whole experience was smooth from drop-off to collection. I would definitely book with James again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Highly recommend Mark and Helen for their fantastic care of my pesky little dogs for ten days. Pre visit was a great idea, they strolled in pre holiday with no qualms!”
“Rebeca has been a life saver, my dog went from very shy to like her a lot. It was the first time I left him with a stranger, both Teddy and I were anxious about the experience, but Rebeca proved to be fantastic and patient. We would highly recommend her services.”
“Wesley had a great stay with Maddy (and their dog Rocky) and came back a very happy dog! Thanks so much for looking after him, will definitely be using again if we're down in the Cotswolds!”
“Heather is a natural dog mummy! We were nervous leaving Briar with her as she had never been left with anyone other than family before. Heather and her family were relaxed and welcoming, their home was perfect for our little dog. We had multiple updates, photos and videos that were reassuring and made our experience so positive. I would highly recommend Heather as a sitter and would definitely leave my furry princess with her again in the future. Our little dog had a fabulous time.”
“Annie & Mitch were amazing sitters. They looked after out our husky for a night in the heatwave and were kind and thoughtful planning earlier and later walks and lots of frozen treat enrichment. We had lovely pup dates and photos. We’d highly recommend them thank you 🐺💖”
“Fantastic care from Georgina and her family - lots of photos showing our dogs settling in, being walked and clearly enjoying their time, plus regular updates on how they were doing. So happy to be home with happy (and exhausted) dogs. Will definitely be using again”
About: Hello, we're Hannah and Josh! Dogs have been part of both our families since we were children and a home without a dog in it has never felt quite right to us. Two years ago we got our goldendoodle Benji, and the adventure of raising a puppy began. We took him to puppy classes and keep his training going day to day, so we're comfortable with young, bouncy dogs and happy to stick to whatever commands and routines your dog already knows. We're an active couple who love countryside walks, trips to the park, and plenty of games of fetch with Benji. We both work from home, so your dog will have lots of company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. We've also been on the other side of this app. When we go away, Benji stays with a sitter, so we know that nervous feeling of handing your dog over to someone new. We also know how reassuring it is to receive a photo of them fast asleep on the sofa or happily out on a walk. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, settled, and well cared for. Every dog is different, so we'll always follow your lead on food, walks, personality, all of it! We want your dog's stay to feel as close to home as possible. Josh and I both work from home full-time, so there will always be one of us at home throughout the day. Your dog will have plenty of company and will become part of our daily routine. We already take our Goldendoodle, Benji, out for walks every day, so your dog will simply come along too. Whether they enjoy long countryside walks or prefer something shorter and slower, we're happy to adapt to whatever they're used to so we can keep their routine as familiar as possible. We know every dog is different, so we'll always follow the routine that works best for them. If they have set mealtimes, a bedtime routine, are crate trained, or prefer to sleep in their own space at night, we're more than happy to accommodate them. Just let us know beforehand, and we'll do everything we can to make their stay feel familiar, comfortable and stress-free. Your dog's safety and comfort will always be our priority. We have experience raising our own Goldendoodle, Benji, who is now two, and we know how important it is for dogs to feel happy, settled and understood in a new environment. Before any stay, we always encourage a meet and greet so you and your dog can meet us, explore our home, and make sure both dogs feel comfortable with each other. Benji is a very friendly and playful dog, and we want every dog that stays with us to feel like they are really welcomed. Benji also has a profile on Rover that you can check out! We have a secure, enclosed garden with fencing, giving dogs a safe space to enjoy some fresh air and play. Before your dog's stay, we'll always ask about their individual needs, including any allergies, dietary requirements, personality traits, boundaries, and anything else that helps us care for them in the best way possible. Our aim is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog is safe and treated as part of our family while they're with us.
“Vicky looked after our four month old Vizsla all day today and did a brilliant job! She kept in contact with me throughout the day and took excellent care of our very lively puppy. I would highly recommend her!”
“Hannah is a lovely Lady, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for her. My very clingy poodle enjoyed himself and will be very bored with just me at home instead of having her two lovely boys around. would definately book her again.”
“Anna looked after my two dogs a Labrador and a collie x lab for 1 night. Anna was quick to reply to my initial message and arranged a meet and greet. While our dogs were with her she sent lots of pictures and updates and took them on lots of walks. They slept very well once they returned home. I can tell they were very well looked after. Anna was flexible with pick up and drop off and gave me complete peace of mind while my dogs were with her. I will definitely use Anna again in the future.”
“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.”
“Sarah and her family are very relaxed and welcoming from the first meet; truly ‘doggie’ people. They have a lovely, spacious home with a large, enclosed garden, well situated for walks to nearby parks and green spaces. Marley bounces in and makes herself at home every time (a bit too much when digging up Sarah’s garden 🥴). Sarah is very patient and loving with Marley and I know that when she’s there she’s in great hands and being well looked after.”
“Thankyou to Tia and Thomas for having Rupert again for us while we were away for 2wks. Rupert recognised where he was and ran to the door to greet Tia who was waiting for him which showed how much he loved being there. We had daily updates and videos of what they all got up to on their walks and play times. There was a couple of days where Rupert had an upset tummy and they messaged us to tell us about it and what the plan of action was, within a couple of days Rupert was back to his old self running around, squeaking toy and enjoying his lovely walks. I highly recommend Tia and Thomas to look after your little fur babies and we will definitely be using them on a regular basis as we know that Rupert will be well looked after.😁”
“Amy was great! She was extremely friendly and Ruby took to her instantly. Amy was really reassuring and kept us updated with some lovely photos. We will definitely use her again when needed. Highly recommend!”
“Halley was excellent with our anxious boy Barney - he settled in really well, and she took it nice and slow with him to the point where he was coming to her asking to be petted (a huge deal for him). Highly recommend!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Cotswold is £35

Kirsti looked after Archie for 3 weeks in October whilst we were on holiday. Having had surgery recently Archie needed special care and attention all of which Kirsti did including keeping up his physio exercises and taking him for hydro therapy appointments as well as lots of interesting walks with her own dog. We feel very lucky to have found Kirsti and would definitely use her again if the opportunity arose.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cotswold on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 780 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cotswold. 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 .
