“Thank you so much for looking after David, and for leaving the house spotless! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We felt so comfortable leaving her, and we really appreciated the daily photos. We are just a little disappointed that David seems to miss her best friend, more than she missed us… 10/10 would recommend, and we will rebook when we go away again! Thanks Daniel!”

“Harriet provides very professional service and very quick with message responses and updates . Very friendly and left the house very tidy , which was very appreciated. Our little furbaby seemed content and happy with a new slave for the week. Would highly recommend Harriet to provide the " peace of mind " while you're away . Nick & Maria”


About: Having owned my own dog for 5 years and taking care of others. I am offering confident and responsible dog walking and sitting around the GL54 area. After working with animals and horses for most of my life, I am comfortable to provide a safe and experienced service for your pets needs! I am currently working part-time so I can offer fairly flexible times for your dogs needs. Weekdays are preferable for me over weekends. I have just opened up my services to pet sitting alongside dog-walking. Dog walking: I am offering a pick up and drop off dog walking service. I have my own well behaved and socialized dog who will be coming on our walks to keep your dog company! Pet sitting: I have started providing overnight care at your dogs home along side my dog walking.
“Lucy cared for my dogs while I was away for a long weekend and on my return they appeared happy, relaxed and well-looked after. She was patient with both of my dogs, who have varying needs, and they clearly warmed to her. She is friendly and understanding, kept my home clean and communicated clearly ahead of the sitting. She was reliable, caring and professional throughout - I wouldn't hesitate to book again and I recommend her if you want someone who puts you at ease and can handle dogs that need that extra level of patience.”

“Harry looked after Lando and kept be up to date during the stay. They had a brilliant time together and it didn’t look like Lando wanted to leave him! Great dog sitter and lovely person.”


About: Experienced in pet and house sitting, always receiving positive feedback from owners. Treating each animal with the respect they deserve, and importantly ensuring every owners mind is at ease whilst away from their very important companions! I am also a pet and equine photographer. I’m currently working part time, aswell as managing my own art and photography business from home. This allows for a lot of flexibility in my schedule. All safety requirements are handled professionally, and your home environment will remain secure during any home visit services. I can appreciate any uncertainty when booking for the first time - which is why I can provide many references on request! I value professionalism just as much as high-standard pet care. All pets are unique and individual and will be treated with high regard, ensuring all individual needs and routines are prioritised.
“Would highly recommend Jane, she did a brilliant job looking after our house and dog , Bea for five weeks . We received regular updates and pictures which made it very clear Bea was enjoying lots of lovely walks and very happy spending time with Jane at home. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we got back and Bea looked amazing. We have already booked her for our next holiday.”


“Kim and Matt came and stayed at our house for 2 weeks. They looked after our dog while we were away. We had a very helpful introductory video call a few weeks before the sit and they came the week before we went away to visit the house and meet our dog. Their communication at all times was great and they really took the time to understand what we needed while we were away. We came home to an immaculate house with a happy and relaxed dog. They are very friendly and organised and I recommend them very highly, we'd be very happy to have them back in the future.”

“Emma looked after our slightly anxious 1 year old cocker spaniel puppy Arty for the first time for a few hours whilst we were out at a local event. Before this, she had taken the time to get to know his quirks and what he enjoys. Emma updated us throughout with photos and took him for a little walk. We were amazed at how calm and happy he was when we arrived home. We will definitely be using Emma again.”


About: I currently work in a private household, I grew up on a farm with a variety of dogs, I have recently been volunteering to help rehome dogs through the dogs trust. I have also been dog sitting for all my neighbours in the area! I love all types of dogs, and they love me! I work in yachting so when I’m in England I am home full time which is perfect for pet sitting. I work 5 days a week, but I live where I work so can pop home every hour if needed.

About: I’m Dan, an experienced house sitter and lifelong animal owner. For around two to three years, I had a regular house-sitting arrangement for a client who divided her time between the UK and overseas. I looked after her home, two dogs, a cat, two Shetland ponies and a horse, with stays ranging from weekends to three or four months at a time. I maintained this arrangement alongside working in hospitality in the village, so I understand the importance of dependable routines, clear communication and balancing work commitments with the animals’ needs. Being trusted with someone’s home and pets over such extended periods is a responsibility I take seriously. I’ve grown up with dogs since the age of seven and have owned French bulldogs, pugs, German Shorthaired Pointers, Cocker Spaniels, cats, reptiles and horses. This has given me hands-on experience with smaller companion dogs, larger energetic gundogs and equine care, while recognising that every animal needs an individual approach. My own dogs are very much part of the family. When I moved overseas to live, they came with me. I understand the attachment owners feel and how reassuring it is to know their animals are comfortable, settled and properly cared for. Whether you need walks, daytime visits or overnight care, I’ll take time to understand your pet’s routine and agree arrangements that meet their needs. You can expect regular photographs and updates, careful attention to your instructions and respect for your home and privacy. Life with my own dogs already revolves around walks, meals and making time for company, so pet care is a natural part of my day. Having returned to the UK from living overseas, I am working part time as a hospitality consultant and I have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins and overnight stays, whether your dog enjoys a proper outing or a gentle potter with plenty of sniffing stops. During house sits, I may pop out for other local walks or visits. We’ll agree this beforehand so you know what to expect and your pet gets the attention and routine they need. My calendar shows my current availability. I know that handing over your keys and leaving your pets with someone is a big thing. I like to meet beforehand so we can have a chat, your pets can get to know me and you can tell me about their little quirks—from favourite hiding places to the precise time dinner is apparently overdue. I’ll keep their usual routine, follow your instructions and give them company on their terms, whether that means a game, some fuss or quietly sharing a room. Walks will suit your dog’s needs, with suitable leads and harnesses, and I won’t pair them with another dog without your agreement. You’ll receive photographs and updates, and I’ll treat your home with care and respect. We’ll also cover the practical details, including secure doors and gates, veterinary information and emergency contacts, so I’m prepared if anything unexpected happens.

“Emily looked after our little puppy when we went away for the night. She was really flexible and friendly the whole time. Our puppy is a little shy but he had a great time there and Emily looked after him very well, even letting him out at night. We would definitely use Emily again. Thank you xxx”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Cotswold walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cotswold choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
