“Annie was amazing with Gyda and Floki. They both seemed so happy and well looked after when I got home. She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Sarah looked after my cats with lots of care and attention. Although one of them was sick whilst she was looking after them, she dealt with it and let me know straight away so I wasn’t worried at all. Really fantastic and I would recommend to anyone!”
“Sian has been excellent with drop in visits to my young puppy. She is always punctual and an excellent communicator keeping me up to date with photos and information. Highly recommended”
“We would like to thank Jennifer for looking after our two cats whilst we were away, they were safely put in at night and looked happy and healthy when we came home, we would be very happy for Jennifer to look after them again.”
“Artur was absolutely amazing with Rupert, it was all very last minute and he was just brilliant with Rupert and he put my mind completely at rest. He even went the extra mile popping in when I was worried about Rupert, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“We cannot say enough good things about Ella! We had a meet and greet where we took the time to understand our routine, home, training and feeding schedules. We have just had our first booked session and could not be happier. Our puppy has separation anxiety, is on an awkward diet and I’m super fussy about who looks after her! So we’re not an easy booking. But within 2 minutes our puppy was calmly and happily playing and training with Ella. She immediately responded well to Ella’s extremely calm and patient nature and was totally content with her. This is a big deal as she’s a lockdown puppy and can be hesitant with new people. We’re looking forward to booking Ella again and feel so lucky to have found someone so kind to look after our puppy.”
About: Owned and worked with a range of breeds for over 30 years including uniformed public services. Currently have a young pup in training! I work from home so have a high amount of availability. I work from home 4-5 days a week so have a flexible diary - I can be available from early morning until evening time for drop in or walks. I work in a professional manner when visiting your home and will follow your strict instructions, whether dropping in or walking. I am a calm and experienced dog owner and have worked with a range of breeds from terriers to mastiffs and Newfoundlands! I will treat your dog as if it were my own!
About: I have been around animals all of my life, from dogs and cats, to bearded dragons, mice, gerbils, budgies and fish! There's nothing more I love than getting out in the fresh air with the pup and going off to explore. My dog Hollie is a Romanian rescue, who we've had since she was 6 months old (she's now 6). She is full of beans, absolutely adores her older bro's, and likes nothing more than to snuggle up on the sofa after a stroll down the canal path. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently work from home (but have flexible hours), so have total flexibility over visits, walks and playtime with your furry pals! At present I have up to 4 hours per day to cater for this, but will have additional availability over the summer months. I'm also available over most of the weekend. I have a large enclosed garden at home, but am lucky to be close to lots of open fields (and several secure fields, if required). Whether a walk, or a home visit, your pets safety and wellbeing will always my main priority.
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy caring for them and making sure they are happy, safe and well looked after. I currently loan a horse, who I have cared for for the past year, which has given me valuable experience with the responsibility, consistency and commitment involved in caring for an animal. Although I am new to offering dog walking professionally, I am responsible, patient and confident around animals. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines and personalities, and I would always follow an owner's instructions carefully. I am looking to build my experience with dogs through Rover with the long-term goal of eventually having a dog of my own. I want to gain a better understanding of different breeds, personalities and routines while providing a reliable and caring service to owners. I am active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I would genuinely enjoy. My priority is always making sure every dog in my care is safe, happy and gets plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I currently work mainly evening shifts, usually starting around 5pm, which gives me good availability during the daytime. On my days off, I have even more flexibility and can offer walks and pet visits throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally around my routine, as I can provide morning, late morning and afternoon walks or visits before I need to go to work. I can also offer some evening and weekend availability depending on my work rota. I am happy to work with each owner's routine and arrange bookings around their individual needs. I always allow enough time between visits so I can give every pet my full attention rather than feeling rushed. I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with animals, so I see pet care as something I would genuinely enjoy alongside my current job. My aim is to provide reliable, caring and flexible support that gives owners peace of mind while they are working or away. The safety and wellbeing of every pet in my care would always be my top priority. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets with someone they trust, so I would always take the time to understand each pet's individual needs, routine, personality and any specific instructions. For dog walks, I would make sure dogs are secure before leaving the property and follow the owner's preferences around leads, routes and interactions with other dogs. I would never take unnecessary risks and would keep dogs supervised throughout their walk. For home visits, I would make sure pets are comfortable in their familiar environment and that doors, gates and windows are secure before leaving. I would also follow feeding and care instructions carefully. I am responsible, patient and attentive, and I would always communicate with owners if I had any concerns. My aim is to create a safe, calm and positive experience for every pet while giving their owner complete peace of mind.
About: I have walked many dogs as I walk daily with a dog walker. I have experienced lots of interactions between dogs and how to navigate them well. My own dog is my best friend and I give him the life every dog deserves and I want to help give other dogs the same experience I’m currently working part time, Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays however I’m willing to occupy my free time with looking after some pets! I will keep your fur baby company, I also walk my dog twice a day so I understand how important it is that they have the enrichment they need.
“We were so lucky to have found Amy to look after our fur babies. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and the cats were settled and relaxed when we returned home. We will definitely be using Amy to care for our cats again! ”
“Lily came round to take care of our two cats whilst we were away. Lily has been brilliant - quick to respond to any query I had (first time Rover user!), has kept me updated the whole time with feedback and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Lily to look after our cats again in the future! ☺️”
“Fay did a great job looking after Mokosz during her drop-in visits. She kept me updated, sent photos and a detailed report from both visits, which was really reassuring. Mokosz was calm and happy when I got back home, and it was clear she had been well looked after. Fay followed all instructions perfectly and even made thoughtful decisions where needed. I’d definitely be happy to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, had both cats and dogs - I am trusted take care of my family and friends dogs and cats when they go away. I have worked with dogs of all different sizes and breeds and I have also worked in my Auntie’s Cattery, all rescued and brought in. I am a University student and am in university Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, will free time inbetween lectures. Tuesday I have all day to visit, walk or just sit with your animals.

About: My whole life I have always loved animals, I have one dog, two cats and one rabbit. In my spare time i volunteer at my horse riding stables for the RDA which I have done for over a year now. I have just completed my first year of university at Hartpury which I am studying animal behaviour and welfare, my university also has a large variety of animals which I volunteer to help care for on the weekends. As my pets have unfortunately had a variety of illnesses and injury’s I am confident in giving any medication necessary for any animals, both of my rabbits require medication for their arthritis everyday, one of which strongly dislikes it so I am used to safely handling more sensitive animals. I do a lot of dog walking in my university term breaks for dogs with a variety of needs such as, young active dogs who require a lot of play, or dogs that need more space from others or have certain triggers I help avoid. I am a university student on summer break as doing this as my full time work so will have lots of free time to provide the best possible care for your pets! I do multiple dog walks daily as well as caring for my elderly rabbit and two cats. In my own home I have four pets, a golden retriever, two cats and one rabbit. They all love each other and are happy to share my garden together. Inside my house all my pets know they are welcome in any room in my house but are all toilet trained. They all have their separate private spaces if they need time alone which the other animals will not interrupt.
“Gabriella took amazing care of our wee Scratch. She sent plenty of photo and video updates and ensured he was well looked after for the duration of our holiday! I would definitely recommend and use again! Thank you ❤️”

About: Hi! I have nearly 10 years of experience working with and caring for rescue dogs, through both volunteering and professional roles in rescues. Having grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for animals and their wellbeing. I tailor every walk to your dog’s individual needs—whether it’s a gentle stroll for an elderly pup or one recovering from surgery, energetic playtime for puppies, or simply providing a safe and loving environment while you’re away. (Please note: pet sitting will be in your home, as I have a nervous dog of my own who needs space.) My skills include reading dog body language and caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments—whether nervous, excitable, anxious, or reactive. I’m confident supporting dogs with behavioural needs such as reactivity toward other dogs, prey drive, and I’m happy to use a muzzle when required. I also have experience helping dogs recover after surgery, providing enrichment suited to their age and breed, and ensuring exercise is always appropriate for their individual needs. In addition, I’m able to administer oral medication or meds given in food (no injections). I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels cared for, comfortable, and happy. Alongside Rover, I also run my own pet care business. While my Rover calendar may show availability, some time slots may already be booked by existing private clients. I always keep my calendar as up to date as possible and will confirm availability promptly once a request is made. I’m available most days, mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’ll happily fit walks or visits around your pet’s usual routine to keep them settled and happy Your pet’s safety comes first. I respect your home, follow instructions closely, secure environments, and provide gentle, attentive care so pets feel safe and happy.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Gloucester
Annie was an absolute superstar and we are so pleased with how she looked after Teddy. Her daily reports and photos were brilliant and we can’t praise her highly enough. We will 100% be asking Annie again. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were on holiday. Teddy really does have a new best friend.
Ella has been excellent with my cat Missy. She’s been really well looked after and seems very happy. Normally Missy is so nervous and timid around people but Ella has managed to give her treats and stroke her, which is remarkable! It’s so good to know that Missy has been happy while I’ve been away. Ella kept me informed and sent photographs. It was really good to see how Missy was doing. It’s such a relief to find someone who I know will take good care of my little cat and I would definitely book Ella again.
Chelsie came to look after our cat for 10 days – it was the first time we’d left her for so long since we’d adopted her, so we were a bit stressed. But thanks to Chelsie, we felt as reassured as we could possibly have been. She looked after Olive brilliantly, and sent us really detailed updates every day with loads of photos. We found our cat calm and happy when we got back. The whole process went really smoothly from start to finish; in particular, Chelsie arranged to come and visit us before we left so she could meet Olive and we could show her everything. Thank you so much, Chelsie! We’d recommend her services 100%!
Lily was lovely help. Both of our pets (longhair senior cat and 6 year old male GSD) adored her and seemed really comfortable. She definitely knows how to interact with animals in a way that’s confident and respectful and we will feel glad to know they’re in her care in the future.
Alex did an amazing job looking after my cat Lily over Christmas. She gave Lily loads of attention and play time and Lily was jumping around after her toy in excitement - Lily clearly enjoyed it! 🥰 Alex took care of Lily’s individual routine and house rules and sent photos on each visit to show how Lily was doing. I have security cameras so I can see what happens on each visit, so I can’t stress enough the amount of effort Alex dedicated to Lily on each of her visits - she really worked hard to look after Lily and it was a joy to see how much quality time she had. 😄 Thanks Alex!

There are 961 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Gloucester. About 91% of Gloucester 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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
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.
