About: I earned money in my local neighbourhood through caring for dogs from regular drops in to holiday cover/house sitting. We have always had a family dog who I have loved caring for. This has taken us from young puppies to elderly dogs. I am currently working to self finance my uni degree in sports science. I am fairly flexible with scheduling so should be able to work around you I like to meet the owners and pet to understand what the owner wants and to make the dog feel comfortable and know what he or she likes or dislikes.
“David was professional and efficient as well as being very friendly. Lola liked him very much and so did I. I have used him twice now and he was punctual on both occasions. Sat in my house with Lola for a day and left everything clean and tidy as he found it. I will have no hesitation in using him again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have looked after friends and family dogs too. I love going for long walks and having a pet to come along with me! My parents have 2 dogs that I take for walks all the time! I work full time but am available from 5 pm most days and most weekends all day. I am happy to find out when suits you and work around your schedules as well. I am happy to collect and take your dog in my car to go for nice long walks and always make sure to properly look after them whenever we go
About: I've been a pet lover since I was a child. In my family home, we always had some pets, unfortunately, now I live in a rented property where I'm not allowed to have any pets. This is the main reason why I'm looking after pets other people. Extra money is just an added benefit. For many years I'm the person who been asked by my friends like a first to stay at their homes and look after their pets or dogs walking. Usually, I'm catching quickly good contact with pets. I love traveling and hiking. Own a car and don't mind taking a dog to my car and driving to nice surroundings for a walk. Pictures and short movies from pets look after are available after request. Speaking languages: english, polish I'm working full time on shift pattern with many days off. If your needs fit my time off I can spend a lot of time with your pets. I'm clean and tidy person. I always leave the place as I found it. I stick to all instructions witch you left me about look after your pets.
“Orla very kindly agreed to walk Morrigan at quite short notice as I had a back injury. She was on time and professional and Morrigan returned very happy and tired out. I would happily recommend Orla to anyone.”
“Amber was amazing. She brought water with her on the dog walks and even took the dogs out earlier during the UK heatwave while we were away on holiday, to make sure they stayed safe and comfortable. We would definitely book Amber again.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is that I’ve truly lived a life surrounded by dogs — all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve cared for them all, and each one has taught me something new about patience, communication, and unconditional love. I understand that every dog is unique — some need extra time to warm up, some need to burn off tons of energy, and others just want a calm lap and some quiet company. I’m confident handling everything from crate training and leash manners to giving meds or helping older dogs with mobility issues. Because I’ve had dogs my whole life, this kind of care is second nature to me. Beyond the basics, I focus on building trust with each dog so they feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. It’s not just about keeping them fed — it’s about making sure they’re happy and emotionally cared for too. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life — it’s not just something I do, it’s part of who I am! I work weekdays from 9 to 4, so I plan my pet care around that schedule. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles, and I’m available for pet sitting visits before or after work, as well as on weekends. Since I already care for my own dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and fish, animal care is part of my daily rhythm — it’s second nature. I’m used to juggling different needs and routines, and I love spending that time connecting with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable In my own home, pet care is woven into my daily routine — from feeding and cleaning to walks, playtime, and lots of love. With dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and fish under one roof (or in the yard!), I’m experienced in managing different needs and personalities. I make sure every animal gets the right balance of structure, attention, and comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take the time to learn their likes, quirks, and schedules — whether that’s giving a shy cat space, keeping a playful pup entertained, or making sure medications are given on time. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own animal family.
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 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.
“I was going to be away for the day so booked Layla to keep my dog company in the afternoon. Layla popped over a couple of days before to meet me and my dog and I ran through a few things. Layla was punctual and professional. I would strongly recommend her.”
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 animals my whole life, dogs, cats, horses… you name it! And i love every single one of them. I have trained my puppy and she is an angel. I have cared for friends and family’s dogs and cats many times, this includes, walking, washing, feeding and of course fussing!!! I’m currently in the process of trying to make this my full time job which means i have a lot more play time available and would love to spend that with my fluffy friends! I have a fenced back garden which is plenty big enough for more furry friends. I have a dog crate if needed and can provide food and water bowls if required. I live in a safe neighbourhood surrounded by countless fields for beautiful walks.
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.

Safie was absolutely fabulous! We are new to the area and in a bit of a pickle, she put us at ease in our meet and greet, was fantastic at communicating with us and was fantastic with our two dogs. She kept us informed during the walk with photos and a little report. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back to use her again
I have used Dhaara a couple of times at short notice. She went out of her way to get to know our dog and us. Cooper is a young full of life male dog but Dhaara knew exactly how to handle him. She is absolutely amazing and would definitely book her again. Highly recommended.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gloucester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.
