“Fantastic care from Georgina and her family - lots of photos showing our dogs settling in, being walked and clearly enjoying their time, plus regular updates on how they were doing. So happy to be home with happy (and exhausted) dogs. Will definitely be using again”
“Highly recommend Mark and Helen for their fantastic care of my pesky little dogs for ten days. Pre visit was a great idea, they strolled in pre holiday with no qualms!”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“Bellatrix had a fabulous stay. It was our first time using a sitter and all my concerns were alleviated upon first meeting. Rachel and her family made sure Bella’s felt at home and she settled v quickly. Cannot recommend enough”
“Ella was an amazing sitter for our pup, Koko. She kept in constant contact with updates throughout each day of her stay. Ella also sent many pictures showing the adjustment and fun they were having together. With Koko being a puppy, there were a few extra things that Ella did to make her stay better. In addition to the regular dog sitting and caring, Ella helped Koko become more comfortable with being in her crate and other general puppy training guidelines for my wife and I to follow to help with training. I would 100% recommend Ella to anyone with a dog. Amazing carer”
“She is a special person, my dog was very well taken care of, she is a very responsible and caring person, both she and her partner are very pleasant people, very sociable and friendly, I always received information about the dog, pictures and videos, I am very happy to have met her and I will use her again whenever I need to. THANK YOU”
“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.”
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.

“Heather is a natural dog mummy! We were nervous leaving Briar with her as she had never been left with anyone other than family before. Heather and her family were relaxed and welcoming, their home was perfect for our little dog. We had multiple updates, photos and videos that were reassuring and made our experience so positive. I would highly recommend Heather as a sitter and would definitely leave my furry princess with her again in the future. Our little dog had a fabulous time.”
“Humphrey loves staying with Claire. As always Claire kept me well informed about how he was getting on and sent lots of photos. Such a weight off my mind when leaving him. Would highly recommend.”
“My two settled straight in and seemed very happy, into what felt a very welcoming and safe environment. Have absolute trust in Michaela, who sent regular updates and pics which was reassuring. Very happy to recommend to others.”
“Anna looked after my two dogs a Labrador and a collie x lab for 1 night. Anna was quick to reply to my initial message and arranged a meet and greet. While our dogs were with her she sent lots of pictures and updates and took them on lots of walks. They slept very well once they returned home. I can tell they were very well looked after. Anna was flexible with pick up and drop off and gave me complete peace of mind while my dogs were with her. I will definitely use Anna again in the future.”
“Remy had a great time with Daniela! She was very attentive to his needs and provided us with lovely updates during his time with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Toffee loved his weekend stay with Louise, as always. She made sure he kept cool with only very early and late walks and the use of a cooling mat as well. Louise sent photos through as well, so I knew Toffee was feeling at home. Would thoroughly recommend Louise as a very caring dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Sarah and her family are very relaxed and welcoming from the first meet; truly ‘doggie’ people. They have a lovely, spacious home with a large, enclosed garden, well situated for walks to nearby parks and green spaces. Marley bounces in and makes herself at home every time (a bit too much when digging up Sarah’s garden 🥴). Sarah is very patient and loving with Marley and I know that when she’s there she’s in great hands and being well looked after.”

Kirsten and her family including Rudy looked after Max for a week. We had constant updates and pictures showing how settled and happy he was. We were obviously very happy to collect Max at the end of the week but delighted he had a happy week and had been cared for so fantastically. I would have no hesitation using Kirsten again and recommend her highly to anyone else who needs there pet looking after. Thank you Kirsten. 😀😀
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!

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 .
