About: I have been a walker for cinnamon trust and have also recently completed an online puppy training course. I also have experience with dogs through family and friends. I do not work Saturday-Tuesday and can do overnight stays at weekends. Every other weekend it is just me at home so I can do home stays at owners home. I cannot take dogs who are unable to be left on their own. All dogs I take must be friendly with young children. I have a fully enclosed good sized garden which has artificial grass so usable all year round. I live a 1 minute walk to fields perfect for walking dogs with no roads to cross. I allow dogs on my sofa and in my bed for cuddles. I have space for a crate if owner can provide for their dogs comfort. I live in a bungalow so suitable for elderly dogs. I have a pet free home and my 2 year old son lives with me so a child friendly dog is essential. Dogs must be able to be left on their own for short periods of time. I also will happily pop in to feed, play with and litter scoop cats.

“Bethany was lovely , Finn was well looked after and by the looks of things had a lovely time while Bethany looked after him. the house was clean and tidy and the plants well watered. thankyou for caring for him so well and we will see you next time Finn, Alison & Phil”

“Kelly was absolutely fantastic with my dog Archie! Our care fell through last minute and Kelly came for a meet & greet that evening and was a life saver! She gave regular updates and I felt very confident leaving my animals in her care. I would highly recommend Kelly for any care requirements ☺️”

“Safi was brilliant woth both cats over a weekend we were away. She responded promptly very last minute and nothing was any trouble for her. We had lots of updates and pictures of the cats thoroughly looking relaxed and pampered! It was the first time using Rover, but Safi put us at ease straight away. We (and the cats) look forward to having her look after them again in the future”

“Emily looked after our little puppy when we went away for the night. She was really flexible and friendly the whole time. Our puppy is a little shy but he had a great time there and Emily looked after him very well, even letting him out at night. We would definitely use Emily again. Thank you xxx”

“Hannah was incredible sitting our three whippets for the first time, one of which is old and has cognitive decline. She was prompt, her communication was excellent and she wanted to know everything to be the best for our dogs.during her stay she updated us regularly with photos and information. She followed all our guidance and loved our dogs like they were her own. We also came home a lovely clean and tidy home and very happy chilled dogs, which we were really grateful for.”


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: Experienced in pet and house sitting, always receiving positive feedback from owners. Treating each animal with the respect they deserve, and importantly ensuring every owners mind is at ease whilst away from their very important companions! I am also a pet and equine photographer. I’m currently working part time, aswell as managing my own art and photography business from home. This allows for a lot of flexibility in my schedule. All safety requirements are handled professionally, and your home environment will remain secure during any home visit services. I can appreciate any uncertainty when booking for the first time - which is why I can provide many references on request! I value professionalism just as much as high-standard pet care. All pets are unique and individual and will be treated with high regard, ensuring all individual needs and routines are prioritised.
“Wow!! Don’t even know where to start - perfect communication from initial enquiry to the end of the stay. Loads of lovely updates throughout, Ross went above and beyond on his stay and I couldn’t reccomend him enough - thank you, the dogs clearly adored you 💙”

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: 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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gloucester is £35

First time using Georgia, we were away for 7 days on holiday and Georgia took care of our kitten. She was very responsive on messages, very polite and took excellent care of our fur baby. She also left our house very clean and tidy! Would 100% recommend her to others!

Annie came to our rescue last minute and what a silver lining! We met the night before we were due to leave and I instantly felt at ease. Annie looked after our elderly dogs and bearded dragon with a lot of love and they were so content when we arrived home, we had updates and kept in contact. Will definitely be using Annie for any future adventures. Thanks again!

Safi was brilliant woth both cats over a weekend we were away. She responded promptly very last minute and nothing was any trouble for her. We had lots of updates and pictures of the cats thoroughly looking relaxed and pampered! It was the first time using Rover, but Safi put us at ease straight away. We (and the cats) look forward to having her look after them again in the future

Fay was amazing from the moment I contacted her regarding our booking needs. She provided a full list of her services and responded to messages promptly! At our meet and greet, she spoke through her experiences which put us at ease. She interacted well with our dog and made her feel very comfortable (she’s a very anxious dog). Fay messaged us leading up the booking to check in which was lovely and reassuring. On the day, Fay arrived promptly and greeted our dog beautifully. She provided regular photo and video updates throughout the day, which was great. As we don’t leave our dog often due to her anxiety, we were very impressed with Fay, her professionalism and friendliness. We would highly recommend Fay and will definitely be booking again if needed. ☺️
Our first time leaving our 9 year old lurcher with a pet sitter, and Hannah was amazing. Our dog was clearly totally relaxed with Hannah around. She took great care of the house, communication was excellent throught her stay, and she put us completely at ease. Even when our travel plans changed slightly on our return home. Hannah was so warm and accommodating. We'd book her again in a heartbeat.

Rebecca babysat my 3 greyhounds for the evening, she was so good, they were happy and content with her, Frank cuddled up to her all evening! She sent me photographs of them during the evening so I knew they were ok. I would definitely book her again and strongly recommend her.
we are late giving a review which is no reflection on Vanessa. its our first time using Rover and also having a house sitter. we were extremely hesitant about getting a sitter because it was so new to us and we have had the luxury of having family and friends previously. Right from the start Vanessa made and effort and relieved our concerns, it was like having a family friend coming to meet us and our house hold. Vanessa showed her friendly caring and affectionate character soon as arriving. Our Pug took straight to her like she had always known her. Due to our devastating family loss of our beloved Staffordshire bull terrier of 16 years, Rosie has been very quite and reserved in her emotions seemly lost. Vanessa is a wonderful lady whom is kind and very willing. taking care of Rosie needs Our house was kept and retuned in an immaculate condition after our two weeks away. Vanessa was willing to accommodate our needs and preferences even going as far as buying roses weekly for our passed staffy, buying wrapping paper for a family birthday the day of our return. She was wonderful with our rabbits keeping their hutch clean and trying them with new foods. She would send regular updates and photos from our fury friends the whole time we were away. We would highly recommend Vanessa.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Gloucester walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gloucester choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
