About: Hi, my name is Alix. I am 24 years old and live in a ground floor flat in matson, Gloucester. I have 2 children, 3&5 years old. I also have 4 cats who have been the first encounter for many dogs which I am happy to do with the owner here if your dog hasn’t been around cats before. I also understand that sometimes dogs and cats aren’t the best of friends so I’m happy to keep them separate if needed. I unfortunately don’t currently drive so you would need to bring your pooch to me. Caring for dogs is a passion for me. I took a break from dog boarding for a while but now on the hunt to make more doggy friends and help out owners! I have been dog boarding for 3 years now and cared for dogs of all ages. My children are used to dogs & my partner has 2 Staffordshire bull terriers at his mum’s who my children see regularly. I also have a jack russel and a jug at my mum’s who I absolutely adore and grew up with. I have my own fenced garden and will definitely take your pooch on walks at our local field! Please get in touch if you’re interested. :).. I’m currently unemployed so always at home. Monday & friday I do school pick up and drop off, however if your dog isn’t very good with being alone I can bring them along or I can find someone else to take my daughter to school on the odd occasion if need be of the 2 days I usually do and I will stay home to ensure your dog isn’t left alone. As long as i have notice i can ensure we’re home all day if need be for your dogs anxiety I am in a ground floor flat, I have my own fenced garden and a field nearby which dogs absolutely love to go and have a run around. I keep dogs on lead for safety. Dogs will be welcome to come on the furniture and sleep in the bed unless the owner requests otherwise.
“Our experience with Beth and Dan was perfect in every sense. Great comms throughout, offered an introduction of our Ewok with their dog Darcy (who is an angel), and made Ewok feel utterly spoiled. She loved her time there, and we'll re-book again in a heartbeat.”

About: PLEASE READ! I am currently a University student so am based in Gloucester September - December and Andover June -September and mid December to January!! Am able to be very flexible, can accept sits as soon as 12 hours before and cancellations the same, very happy to work with any and all routines and have experience with disabled, anxious and “difficult” animals and am more than happy to work around whatever makes them comfortable. I have always loved animals and have been surrounded buy them from a young age. we had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, tortoises and a hedgehog! i have been working and studying with animals for about 8/9 years now and am currently studying Clinical Animal Behavior and Training at University. I honestly love doing rover work while studying as not only does it mean I have a lovely quiet place to study but going out on walks means I get out and about in study breaks which is so important for productivity and mental health. I am currently open for the summer bookings from June to September I will be operating mainly in the south west as I will be based in Andover in Hampshire though could travel further for a long stay. i am currently a student studying animal behavior at university, this means my schedule is quite open, having a full day of lectures on a Tuesday and 2-3 hours on Monday and Thursday. I can essentially learn online and do all of my work from a kitchen table which is perfect for looking after pets. I'm afraid I cannot offer boarding as I live in student accommodation and I wouldn't like to put any dog in a potentially stressful environment! When I'm sitting at the house I will never leave the house for longer than your animal is happy with which we can talk about, as I don't have many other responsibilities I will not have any unexpected reasons to leave. I often spend my days at a kitchen table on a sofa with a dog bed next to me, this way you'll pet can feel that they can come as close or stay as far away as they like! I love a good cuddle but will respect personal space if they prefer. Often first morning/day I try to keep myself "small" so that your animal can investigate me in their home properly this often looks as if I'm ignoring your pet as I want them to feel at ease to investigate me as much as they want and get comfortable with me without me forcing myself into their space. I never, ever mingle any animals be them dogs, cats or hamsters(!) that have not previously met for safety reasons.
“My dog had a wonderful time with Kay and her lovely dog, Monty. I was very pleased with the care and attention that Stella received and all the photos that Kay sent me! I will definitely book again.”

“Absolutely lovely experience - Mathilda was super accommodating with our last-minute request, kept us in the loop throughout, and by all accounts Ewok had an absolute blast with her. Fully recommended, and look forward to booking her again soon!”

About: My name is Annabelle and I live in Cheltenham. I have owned dogs as family pets for the last 12 years and grew up around dogs. As a teenager I would walk family and friends dogs daily but unfortunatley couldn't own them due to my parents work schedules!! My children have grown up around dogs (and cats) and show so much affection towards them. I enjoy walks in the woods in our local area as well as travelling further afield to take advantage of longer walks. I have set my availiability calendar to the days that I work from home. I am more than happy to visit your dog daily, I can either walk them alone or with Buddy. Or they can come and play with Buddy whilst I am home. I work with the door open so your dog can be inside and outside as much as they like. I have a fenced garden and the back door is open at all times whilst I am here. Buddy, my dog, will be in the house too so they will have a friend to play with. I have a medium and large crate available should you require your dog crating at anytime.
“First stay with Louise, who was very welcoming. He had a great day, a walk in the woods, company from other dogs and home comforts. Louise really understood Harry and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Harry in her care again.”

Lottie is an absolute blessing, naturally knows what to do and definitely loves animals, it is clear! Great meet and greet, our precious angel was instantly happy. We were kept up- to-date throughout the stay with lots of tlc added in. Would definitely recommend! 🐾💗

Alix was so attentive and ensured our precious angel was feeling a home-from-home experience. Family was so loving and friendly, it is clear they love animals! Kept up-to-date, with quick response time too, was an easy experience throughout! Definitely recommend! 💗

Kristen was very communicative to accommodate Rocco at short notice and completely reassured me before arrival On arrival she made such a fuss and showed him and I around and off he trotted tail wagging with his new friends. I got updates during the day to put my mind at rest for his first visit and she even had plenty cuddles with him. I took home a very happy and tired doggo who was full of tail wags We will be back!

Kerry was very accommodating given the short notice of our request. She is professional, friendly and gave us the reassurance we needed to leave our Bonny with her for the day. Bonny seemed to make herself right at home and was happy in Kerry’s care. We look forward to using Kerry’s services again in the future!

Safie is so lovely and was really great with Penny. She sent lots of pics and great updates which put our minds at ease. Penny came back happy and tired, ready for a snooze after a lovely day. Would definitely recommend Safie and would definitely book again ! :)

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Gloucester commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

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.
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.
