“We adore Kristhea! She is always an incredible help for us and she couldn’t do a more perfect job. Our pets not only respect her (stubborn boy GSD!) but cherish her. She thinks of them ahead and even brings some of her tennis balls for our dog to fetch. If you’re looking for someone to have full faith in for the care of your home and fur-babies, look no further.”
“We would recommend Annie- good communication, polite and friendly and everything went smoothly when she looked after our puppy. Thanks for looking after Escher Annie!”
“Sian has been visiting Odie for some weeks now and all is going very well. It was wonderful to see how quickly he took to her and I come home to a happy and calm boy, for which I am extremely thankful. Sian was very accommodating when plans had to change at my end and was also very helpful suggesting someone to cover for her when she wasn't able to visit.”
“Fay did a great job looking after Mokosz during her drop-in visits. She kept me updated, sent photos and a detailed report from both visits, which was really reassuring. Mokosz was calm and happy when I got back home, and it was clear she had been well looked after. Fay followed all instructions perfectly and even made thoughtful decisions where needed. I’d definitely be happy to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Ella! We had a meet and greet where we took the time to understand our routine, home, training and feeding schedules. We have just had our first booked session and could not be happier. Our puppy has separation anxiety, is on an awkward diet and I’m super fussy about who looks after her! So we’re not an easy booking. But within 2 minutes our puppy was calmly and happily playing and training with Ella. She immediately responded well to Ella’s extremely calm and patient nature and was totally content with her. This is a big deal as she’s a lockdown puppy and can be hesitant with new people. We’re looking forward to booking Ella again and feel so lucky to have found someone so kind to look after our puppy.”
“Lily came round to take care of our two cats whilst we were away. Lily has been brilliant - quick to respond to any query I had (first time Rover user!), has kept me updated the whole time with feedback and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Lily to look after our cats again in the future! ☺️”
About: I have my own dogs (Patterdale terriers & jack russel). I have grown up in the farming industry, so I spent my childhood riding horses, running through the fields and playing with the dogs. My dogs are the first thing I look at in the morning and the last thing I I say goodnight to. If I didn’t have dogs, my life would be silent, they create more fun. Im currently studying at uni, i can be flexible for drop in home visits in between of lectures or long breaks. The latest I finish on a Monday and Friday is 6. I do have early morning rugby training(this would only cause inconvenience with overnight stays) as I would have to leave early. Weekends are completely free. Tuesday is free all day with one online lecture in the evening, and Thursday is also free all day with one evening lecture. Wednesday is normally game day,(this can change weekly). Dog walking- I can walk (custom to dog)x a day. I would keep the dog on the lead unless said otherwise by owners, likewise with interacting with other dogs. Drop ins- I can let the dog in the garden, and play for length of time I have free, and top up water and food bowl. Overnight stays- ensure they have been let out before bed, have a little play, and food is eaten.
“Sarah looked after my cats with lots of care and attention. Although one of them was sick whilst she was looking after them, she dealt with it and let me know straight away so I wasn’t worried at all. Really fantastic and I would recommend to anyone!”
“Amy looked after my cat Lily brilliantly for 3 weeks while I was on holiday. She was extremely professional and looked after the house while I was away as well as Lily herself, including: washing Lily’s blankets, watering the house plants and the garden, and hoovering!! Amy sent photos and gave detailed updates on Lily every time she visited. Amy accommodated Lily’s habits really well and gave her lots of fuss and was very patient with her even when she was a bit nippy..! Amy was prompt and always let me know when she would get to Lily if she couldn’t make the normal time for any reason. It was very hot while I was away too and Amy took care of Lily’s temperature by using the air-con and giving Lily treats from the fridge. Amy even gave Lily her Droncit which is quite difficult in my experience! Amy was fantastic and I couldn’t have asked for more. I absolutely recommend her. 🙂”
“Artur was absolutely amazing with Rupert, it was all very last minute and he was just brilliant with Rupert and he put my mind completely at rest. He even went the extra mile popping in when I was worried about Rupert, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog walkers is that I don’t just understand dogs — I live with one. As the owner of a high-energy cocker spaniel, I know firsthand how important it is for dogs to get the right balance of exercise, stimulation, and care. I’m used to managing boundless energy, playful personalities, and those moments when a walk needs to be more than just a stroll. This means your dog won’t be rushed or overlooked; they’ll be walked with patience, enthusiasm, and genuine attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they come home happy, exercised, and content. I work from home, which means I can be present and give your pet plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day when boarding or house sitting. I’ll make sure they’re not left alone for long periods and can keep to their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime and toilet breaks. During the week, I’m also available for early morning walks and drop-ins before 8:00am, as well as evenings after 4:30pm. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine beforehand and tailor my schedule to help them feel happy, settled and comfortable while in my care. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to learn about their personality, routine and individual needs, including feeding, walks, medication and any house rules or preferences you have. When pets stay with me, I’ll provide a calm, comfortable and welcoming environment where they can settle in and feel at home. As I work from home, I’ll be around throughout the day to provide plenty of company, attention, regular toilet breaks and walks. When house sitting or doing drop-in visits, I’ll respect both your home and your pet’s usual routine, helping them feel secure in familiar surroundings. On walks, I’ll always prioritise safety and follow any instructions regarding leads, other dogs, recall or areas to avoid. I know it can be difficult leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates to give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. 🐾
About: Hi, I’m a student paramedic who absolutely loves the outdoors! I’m looking to earn some extra money alongside university, and I have a flexible schedule. I’m a keen runner and walker, so I’m more than happy to get outside in all weathers. I’ve had dogs all my life, mainly spaniels, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up walking, training, exercising and looking after them, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m happy to help with all types of pet care, whether that’s dog walking, puppy visits, drop-in visits, house sitting or simply giving your pet some company. You name it, I’m happy to help! I’m reliable, caring and responsible, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me. I’d be more than happy to have a chat about your pet and their needs. I’m currently a student, so my availability is flexible and I’m happy to work around your needs. Until the end of October, I’m generally available on Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends. For Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, please feel free to message me and I’ll do my best to work around you. From the end of October until the end of January 2027 I’ll will be available all the time and will be happy to help with plenty of winter walks! If you have any questions about my availability, just send me a message, I’m always happy to see what I can do. I currently live in a flat, so I don’t offer doggy day care or boarding at my home. Instead, I provide dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting in the pet’s home. I always prioritise safety and will follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including their walking routine, feeding, medication and any specific needs. I’m also happy to arrange a Meet and Greet beforehand so we can go through everything and make sure I’m the right fit for your pet.
About: I’ve been a registered veterinary nurse for two years and have been looking after neighbours pets for longer. I’m happy to help with training pets, senior care and other nursing needs. I’m currently working full time as a registered veterinary nurse. I would be working pet care around my schedule and rota but this is something I’m happy to do. I would be happy to look after your pet(s) in your home to keep them comfortable in their own environment. I would stick to their routines as much as physically possible and I am also happy to offer some nursing services on top
About: I have walked many dogs as I walk daily with a dog walker. I have experienced lots of interactions between dogs and how to navigate them well. My own dog is my best friend and I give him the life every dog deserves and I want to help give other dogs the same experience I’m currently working part time, Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays however I’m willing to occupy my free time with looking after some pets! I will keep your fur baby company, I also walk my dog twice a day so I understand how important it is that they have the enrichment they need.
About: I have taken care of dogs since i was a little girl! Caring for pooches is my passion! I trained my dog myself, he was perfectly house trained and even commands such as Touch, Paw, Jump, Sit I am currently employed however Animals are my passion. i’d love to integrate dogs into my daily life. i would be free every evening and most weekends! i can always make time for a pooch I have a fenced in garden, and also live 30 seconds from a dog friendly field. my living room and furniture is open to dogs, however a baby gate has been installed to the living room door to limit access to the whole house.
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy caring for them and making sure they are happy, safe and well looked after. I currently loan a horse, who I have cared for for the past year, which has given me valuable experience with the responsibility, consistency and commitment involved in caring for an animal. Although I am new to offering dog walking professionally, I am responsible, patient and confident around animals. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines and personalities, and I would always follow an owner's instructions carefully. I am looking to build my experience with dogs through Rover with the long-term goal of eventually having a dog of my own. I want to gain a better understanding of different breeds, personalities and routines while providing a reliable and caring service to owners. I am active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I would genuinely enjoy. My priority is always making sure every dog in my care is safe, happy and gets plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I currently work mainly evening shifts, usually starting around 5pm, which gives me good availability during the daytime. On my days off, I have even more flexibility and can offer walks and pet visits throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally around my routine, as I can provide morning, late morning and afternoon walks or visits before I need to go to work. I can also offer some evening and weekend availability depending on my work rota. I am happy to work with each owner's routine and arrange bookings around their individual needs. I always allow enough time between visits so I can give every pet my full attention rather than feeling rushed. I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with animals, so I see pet care as something I would genuinely enjoy alongside my current job. My aim is to provide reliable, caring and flexible support that gives owners peace of mind while they are working or away. The safety and wellbeing of every pet in my care would always be my top priority. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets with someone they trust, so I would always take the time to understand each pet's individual needs, routine, personality and any specific instructions. For dog walks, I would make sure dogs are secure before leaving the property and follow the owner's preferences around leads, routes and interactions with other dogs. I would never take unnecessary risks and would keep dogs supervised throughout their walk. For home visits, I would make sure pets are comfortable in their familiar environment and that doors, gates and windows are secure before leaving. I would also follow feeding and care instructions carefully. I am responsible, patient and attentive, and I would always communicate with owners if I had any concerns. My aim is to create a safe, calm and positive experience for every pet while giving their owner complete peace of mind.
About: Owned and worked with a range of breeds for over 30 years including uniformed public services. Currently have a young pup in training! I work from home so have a high amount of availability. I work from home 4-5 days a week so have a flexible diary - I can be available from early morning until evening time for drop in or walks. I work in a professional manner when visiting your home and will follow your strict instructions, whether dropping in or walking. I am a calm and experienced dog owner and have worked with a range of breeds from terriers to mastiffs and Newfoundlands! I will treat your dog as if it were my 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.

Fay was excellent with Puffin, my rescue dog who is still settling into home life. Fay was sensitive to her needs, taking it at a pace Puffin was comfortable with. Her communication was spot on with wonderful updates throughout the appointment. Very happy with her service and will be looking to book again!
Annie was an absolute superstar and we are so pleased with how she looked after Teddy. Her daily reports and photos were brilliant and we can’t praise her highly enough. We will 100% be asking Annie again. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were on holiday. Teddy really does have a new best friend.
Ella has been excellent with my cat Missy. She’s been really well looked after and seems very happy. Normally Missy is so nervous and timid around people but Ella has managed to give her treats and stroke her, which is remarkable! It’s so good to know that Missy has been happy while I’ve been away. Ella kept me informed and sent photographs. It was really good to see how Missy was doing. It’s such a relief to find someone who I know will take good care of my little cat and I would definitely book Ella again.
Chelsie came to look after our cat for 10 days – it was the first time we’d left her for so long since we’d adopted her, so we were a bit stressed. But thanks to Chelsie, we felt as reassured as we could possibly have been. She looked after Olive brilliantly, and sent us really detailed updates every day with loads of photos. We found our cat calm and happy when we got back. The whole process went really smoothly from start to finish; in particular, Chelsie arranged to come and visit us before we left so she could meet Olive and we could show her everything. Thank you so much, Chelsie! We’d recommend her services 100%!
We adore Kristhea! She is always an incredible help for us and she couldn’t do a more perfect job. Our pets not only respect her (stubborn boy GSD!) but cherish her. She thinks of them ahead and even brings some of her tennis balls for our dog to fetch. If you’re looking for someone to have full faith in for the care of your home and fur-babies, look no further.
Lily was lovely help. Both of our pets (longhair senior cat and 6 year old male GSD) adored her and seemed really comfortable. She definitely knows how to interact with animals in a way that’s confident and respectful and we will feel glad to know they’re in her care in the future.
Maisie stepped in to cover Odie's usual sitter and everything went seamlessly. Odie seems to have taken to her very well (he is a good judge of character 🤭) and he was nice and calm when I got home. It's so good to find someone who is reliable and happy to spend time with him.
Orla is the first dog sitter I’ve ever used so I was naturally a bit nervous, but she has been absolutely fantastic and completely put me at ease when leaving my boy Bruce at home with her. At our first meeting to discuss everything, Bruce instantly took to her, he settled down with his head on her lap and fell asleep! He has never done that with someone he’d just met before, which really says it all. Orla has such a lovely calm manner and her experience with dogs really shines through, Bruce absolutely adores her! Bruce has lots of energy and Orla is brilliant at keeping him entertained and happy. She also sends through some great photo updates which I love, she is always very responsive and easy to communicate with, which gives so much reassurance while I’m away 😆 If you’re debating which dog sitter to choose, you can absolutely trust Orla. Thank you ☺️ xx

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Gloucester pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
