“Elah is fantastic. She has looked after my cats a couple of times now, and I know they are very happy with her. She also sent me photos of them every day, which is lovely. I couldn’t recommend her more. ”
“Bow (for short) was very professional, kind and terrific with our dog. We were very comfortable with her coming into our home to take care of Mac. We will definitely use her again.”
“George visited my two cats. One of them needs special food and tablets. George did an amazing job. I would totally recommend him and I'm sure I'll contact him again next time.”
“Hattie was absolutely amazing! She looked after our dogs at the weekend and went completely above and beyond for them. She was so lovely, reliable and responsive over messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about the dogs and made sure they were happy and well looked after. We couldn’t recommend Hattie highly enough and would definitely ask her to look after them again!”
“We would recommend Annie- good communication, polite and friendly and everything went smoothly when she looked after our puppy. Thanks for looking after Escher Annie!”
“Ashley has made good friends with Jazz, she looks forward to his visits daily! Ashley is very thorough and follows the instructions we give for Jazz. He goes out of his way to clean and tidy up, I appreciate that! And is overall a very happy and friendly person to work with. I would recommend!”
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. Work a split shift so always have 2-3 hours off early afternoon to play! I simply love animals, and would love to be able to help you with your pet sitting needs. I live alone and have an enclosed garden. Happy to follow any guidance you have for caring for your dog. And most importantly look forward to having a play outside or cuddle on the sofa!
“Albert had a fantastic walk with Lewis, who took him for a long trip at lunch with his partner and their dog Rocky. Albert has since slept all afternoon and is looking forward to his next adventure! I would highly recommend Lewis.”
About: Hi! I’m Zara, a 22-year-old from Cheltenham. I have 10 years of pet experience; I was a dog walker during my undergraduate degree, and I have a dog who lives with my parents (Lily, a 12yo blonde cockapoo). I’ve now been on Rover for ~three years, and have recently relocated back to Cheltenham. I have just graduated from my Master’s, and other than job applications and interviews, I am completely free to look after your friend! I’m free for walks/sitting any time during the day. I can walk your dog, or look after them in your home! I live next to multiple absolutely beautiful parks I can take your dog to during the day :)
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.
About: PLEASE NOTE: I am only offering boarding and day care in the dog owners home, in effect, I would also be house sitting for the dog owner. PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately I don't drive and can only take requests from dog owners who live near a bus route or train station. I have always had an affinity with dogs; or rather they have an affinity with me! Dogs I have never met before always bound up to me and want to play! I have a very calm and patient personality which I think dogs pick up on. This in turn calms them and makes them feel comfortable. I am also an artist and a lover of the outdoors, which means I am always aware of my surroundings, taking in information that could inform my art as well as the surroundings the dog is in - I take my time whilst walking dogs as it's important for them to explore the environment they are most comfortable in - the outdoors. I work part-time so I will be able to work round people's individual needs. I will block off on my calendar when I am unavailable I always follow sitters specific instructions regarding how well their dogs are around other people, other dogs and stick to specific areas permitted by the owner.
About: I have an 8 year old female Cocker Spaniel. Experience with drop in visits to friend’s dogs. New to Rover as a sitter myself. I am a teacher by day working 4 days a week. Mondays are my free days so have full availability on a Monday to suit your needs. I have a small fenced in garden. My garden does have astro turf. I can drive so happy to travel with your pup or to walk in your local area.
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.

“Sophie was great.even though we never met in person she gave us updates and photos on toffees care.we would definitely rebook if we are ever in that part of the country again.”
“Bethany looked after our three cats while we were away for a few days. She kept us informed after every visit and included many photos, which was reassuring. We would certainly ask her next time we plan to be away.”
About: I look after dogs of varying ages/sizes from puppies to your childhood pet. Walking, enrichment activities and of course snuggles are a key part of my pet care! I have a schedule which allows me the flexibility to offer drop in services depending on other commitments or full time in house sitting where notified ahead of time.

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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Cotswold pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
