“I had such a wonderful experience with Georgina! She took amazing care of my dog. Georgina made sure my dog was happy, comfortable and well-loved while I was away for few days.

“With it being Ambers first time away from us she she joined our family, we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful, warm, friendly and playful environment for her to stay. Beth, Dan and Darcy really did make it a home away from home for her. So much so she didn’t want to leave lol! Beth and Dan are so lovely and even met with us before booking to make sure it was a right match for us all. During our time away Beth kept us up to date with messages and pictures of Ambers stay 🥰 It was so reassuring in knowing our not so little pup was in great hands and paws while we were away 🥰”
“Ella has been absolutely fantastic looking after our cheeky lab and did so in such short notice. We're really grateful to have found someone who was able to build a strong bond with Loki from the off and although we did miss him, the photos Ella shared really put our mind at ease knowing he was in great hands. Thankyou Ella :)”
“James took great care of Bailey and I couldn’t be happier with her stay. He sent me regular updates and photos throughout, which was really reassuring and gave me peace of mind. Bailey came home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent, and the whole experience was smooth from drop-off to collection. I would definitely book with James again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

“Pablo had such a lovely time staying overnight with Heather and her daughter. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so reassured and comfortable!

About: I had a rescue labrador for 10 years and am now keen to help look after other doggos. I have worked in animal rescue centres and been trained on doggie first aid. I'm very calm and gentle with animals, and will be a responsible care giver for your beloved canine. I work from home half-days on Fridays with flexible hours, and am generally free on weekends. I'm very flexible around timing and happy to work around your pet's needs. We have a fenced-in garden and live on a quiet street just off the canal path and near several great fields and walks. Can provide dog beds and are flexible on whether dogs are allowed on furniture.
“Natalie and Jodie were brilliant with Benny and very welcoming towards him. I had lovely updates and photos. He looked really happy and relaxed with them. I will definitely be booking them, to look after Benny again. I would highly recommend.”
“Anna was really helpful looking after Sasha last minute. She was well looked after and was tired from the walks and playing, and enjoyed her stay! Would highly recommend! Thankyou.”
“Louise made Cooper very welcome & spent lots of time playing ball with him & throwing toys. She took him on gentle evening/early morning walks when it was cool enough, aware of his age & the extreme heat. Louise gave daily updates, photos & videos so we could see how Cooper was doing. I would recommend Louise & would definitely use her again.”
“Thank you so much Coraley. I am so grateful for the care you provided for Jagger. It was such a relief knowing I was leaving her in such good hands. I would recommend to everyone.”

Alix was awesome! She updated me every day with pics and comments about our dog's health and what he was up to. She was super supportive since it was our first time leaving our dog with someone else (which can be a bit stressful at first). I'm so glad I found her because now we know our dog will be happy when we're away! Thanks, Alix and fam! Xxx
Georgina and her family are just great with Ronnie and Reggie , I have no worries at all leaving them in Georgina’s care, she completely understands there needs and she is very professional and caring , my boys are always very happy and content they have the best time .
I have left my dog Fred with Tobias on two occasions now, both for multiple overnight stays. Fred was very relaxed with him and was even happy and excited to see him again on his second stay! Tobias has a great calm and level demeanour with dogs which I think they appreciate. Fred was allowed to completely make himself at home and seemed to have a great time with Tobias. We got some regular updates with photos as requested. Very happy and will definitely be happy to send Fred to stay again in the future! Thank you!!
Michael and his lovely wife were wonderful, to the point my dog, Mabel, didn't want to leave! She was very at home with their lovely dog also, in fact they were quite similar and got on really well, so that was an extra bonus. Nothing was too much trouble and I got regular photo updates. I felt very relaxed knowing Mabel was being very well cared for while we were on holiday. It was definitely a home away from home environment, which is exactly what I was after. I would absolutely recommend!
Daisy as always had a fantastic time with Estefania! Estefania sent lots of pictures and it was so clear that Daisy enjoyed her time there. Estefania was extremely communicative and prompt, making it really easy to set everything up. Could not recommend her more!
So happy we found Billie to look after Yoshi whilst we were away. She was more than happy to meet me and Yoshi before hand so we could get to know eachother and sent regular updates to show he was relaxed and having fun with his play mates. She is so knowledgable and kind and clearly has a passion for animals. Thank you so much, we will definitely use Billie again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gloucester on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,243 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gloucester. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
