“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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! ☺️”
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.
“We booked a pop in visit after being really pleased with our overnight dog sitting from Fay and everything was great. Fay made sure that our dog had some exercise and play and some company during the day, and also shared information, photos and videos with us so we knew that all was well. Our dog has been happy to see her and we will book again 🙂”
“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 ❤️”
“Maisie stepped in to cover Odie's usual sitter and everything went seamlessly. Odie seems to have taken to her very well (he is a good judge of character 🤭) and he was nice and calm when I got home. It's so good to find someone who is reliable and happy to spend time with him.”

About: I have owned dogs of many breeds for over 30yrs and board dogs of all breeds through family and friends.

“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”
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.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and have experience training a nervous reactive dog. My family love animals so I have experience with a variety of animals, big and small. I am in the final year of my apprenticeship to become a senior equine groom and have already achieved my BHS Stage 2 Care qualification.i I'm currently working as an apprentice four days a week 8 till 6. Depending on distance, I am able to drop in lunch times for toilet breaks. Three days a week I'm available all day. I am happy to do evening drop-ins and walks and happy to stay overnight. I am happy to follow all instructions provided. I have been trained in equine first aid as a part of my apprenticeship, which can be transferred to smaller animals. At home, we have had a variety of animals, including rats, chickens, dogs, bearded dragons and horses and i have been involved in all aspects of care.
“Highly recommend. Sue looked after our cat over Christmas and can’t thank her enough. She obviously loves animals of all kinds and gave Loki lots of cuddles while we were away. Great communication, daily pictures and updates which puts your mind at ease when you’re away!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life—especially dogs and cats—and have been caring for them on and off since childhood. As a Rover user myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I aim to provide that same peace of mind to every owner I work with. I’ve cared for a range of breeds including German Shepherds, Staffies, and Labradors, and I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Currently, I'm working shifts. So plenty of availability to help you and your pets when needed. I am very close to Gloucester City centre. I prefer to care for pets in their own home environment, as it’s usually more familiar and comfortable for them, helping to reduce stress while you’re away. I’m happy to travel and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible.
About: I’ve had dogs most of my life and prior to moving in with my partner, at home had a cockapoo and a daschund! My partner and I are hoping to get a dog in the future and I would love to get used to spending time with dogs again! I can promise that your dog will receive lots of love and care from a person who absolutely love dogs! (And all animals🐶) I currently work full time and work from home 3 days a week. We are able to offer local drop ins, morning and evening walks, cat sitting calls and weekend walks. I have access to a car and work from home 3 days a week. I can offer morning and evening visits, and some lunchtime visits if the care is not too far. These also include dog walks.

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.
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!
This was for the first time I use Rover and chose Artur based on his reviews and never regret the decision I've made. Artur explained the all process, replied very promptly and received updates about my Harvey daily. I do highly recommend him, and I know I can count on him when I need. Thank you!
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! ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gloucester on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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.
