“Annie did a great job looking after our Maine Coon. She was also kind enough to meet him before we went on our trip and Kermit instantly took a liking to her, which like almost any cat, is not common for him. Report cards were thorough and always had more than one picture attached.”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals — from dogs and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters — and can’t imagine life without them. I got my cockapoo, Kylo, as a puppy during lockdown and was fully responsible for her training, socialisation, and care. She’s now 4 years old, friendly, affectionate, and loves company. Raising her from a puppy taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding different temperaments — especially as she can be a little anxious and has a sensitive tummy. I know how to create calm, structured routines that help pets feel secure and confident. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs and cats, including those with specific diets or anxious personalities, and I always focus on finding the right balance of play, enrichment, and rest so every pet feels happy, stimulated, and relaxed. I work as a primary school teaching assistant during term time, which means I’m available for pet care on weekends and throughout school holidays. My role requires patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach—qualities I naturally bring into caring for animals too. Outside of school hours, I have the time and energy to dedicate to walks, playtime, and companionship, ensuring your pet feels safe, cared for, and well looked after. I live in a secure town house with plenty of space and open fields right outside — perfect for walks and fresh air. Pets in my care are treated like family, and I make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and calm from the moment they arrive. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, and downtime to keep everything consistent. You’ll always receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands.
“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 ❤️”
“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”
“Amy was a great sitter! She was patient with our timid younger cat, Pepper, who eventually got curious! We loved getting photos and updates, and returned to two happy, relaxed kitties! ”
“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.”
“Sophie looked after Peaches and Kiwi while we were on a week’s holiday . We had daily updates and pictures. Dogs were very well looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend Sophie to look after your pets . She was very kind to us and our dogs !”
About: Ive had a dog since I was 11 years old , he is still alive to this day ! , he is a staffie and was high energy so I have experience with high energy dogs and senior dogs, I also have experience in rescued dogs I used to care for 2 rescues for 3 years.

I can do whatever is required of me im always willing to adapt and learn , I love animals and they fascinate me I will walk dogs , pet sit and do visits.
“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!”
“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 owned dogs of many breeds for over 30yrs and board dogs of all breeds through family and friends. As I no longer have my own dog this is the perfect balance for me to still have dogs in my life I currently work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, your dog would have a home from home experience and I will follow any routine you require I have an enclosed fenced and secure garden, there is a field very close by for walking and the dog will be allowed the freedom to use my home as its own
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: Hi, I'm Mo, a South-West England based dog and cat lover who has grown up around animals my whole life and currently cares for pets belonging to family and friends on a regular basis. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and looking after them isn't a side hustle I stumbled into, its an enjoyable experience for me too that gives fulfilment other side hustles do not provide. I offer dog walking, boarding at my home, drop-in visits and house sitting across inner London. Whether your dog needs a good long walk, or your pet needs some company during the day, or someone to stay with them while you're away, I'll make sure they're looked after with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I know how much your pet means to you and ,so I treat every dog/cat that I look after as if they were my own (like my cute cat Nova). I'm reliable, punctual, calm around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and communicative,so you'll never be left wondering how your dog is doing. I'm available flexibly across the week and can accommodate last-minute bookings where possible. I'd love to meet you and your pet before any booking, a quick meet and greet means we both feel confident from day one! I am usually working from home so I am home most days of the week during the mornings/ afternoons ,however I am able to accomodate for furry friends! Here's what a typical day looks like when I'm walking or boarding a dog: morning walks at a good pace with time to sniff and explore, regular updates and photos sent to you throughout the day, plenty of play and attention, and a calm, settled routine so your pet feels comfortable and at ease. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, which means safety and comfort are always the priority, not just during the booking but from the very first message. At my home (boarding and drop-ins): My home is a calm, clean and pet-friendly environment. I keep all potential hazards out of reach, ensure doors and gates are secure at all times and never leave a boarding dog unattended for extended periods. Pets staying with me have their own comfortable space to sleep and settle, access to fresh water at all times and a consistent daily routine to help them feel at ease quickly. I live in inner London with good access to local parks and green spaces for walks and exercise throughout the day. At a pet owner's home (house sitting and drop-in visits): I follow the owner's routine and instructions carefully and precisely: feeding schedules, medication if required, preferred walking routes, sleeping arrangements. I treat the home with full respect and discretion and communicate any concerns or changes immediately rather than waiting until the end of a booking. Communication: Pet owners receive regular photo and text updates throughout every booking so they can relax knowing exactly how their pet is doing. I never leave a client wondering. If anything changes or I have any concern about a pet's wellbeing, I reach out immediately and handle it calmly and responsibly. Meet and greet: I always encourage a meet and greet before any first booking. It gives your pet the chance to get comfortable with me, and it gives you the chance to see how I interact with them before committing. Transparency and trust from the start is how I work.
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 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.
“Keeley was excellent, furry baby's were well looked after and had plenty of updates over the 10 days. Responses were extremely quick will definitely be using this service again!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gloucester on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 890 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Gloucester. About 89% 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.
