“Tamara was very friendly and welcoming. Milo had a lovely day and Tamara kept us updated with photos. We really appreciated that Tamara invited us around before hand to chat, which put us at ease with leaving our dog with her. Will definitely be using Tamara again in the future.”
About: **Please note, as of November we are delighted to be welcoming our own Hungarian Vizsla. He will be 5 months from then and we are conducting extensive training to ensure he is as social as possible. Please factor this in when requesting from then on :) My wife and I adore dogs (any animals really!) We help our family and friends regularly with dog sitting or walks. We have recently moved into our home which has a large, safe and secure garden. Our home has plenty of fields/parks nearby or quieter side streets to suit your dog’s needs and preferences whilst out on walks. We can provide your dog with love and affection all day as we both work from home so there is no need to leave your family pet alone. We would love to help where we can! My wife Lauren and I work solely from home so we are always around. We are in our early 30’s so have plenty of energy to give your pet. Our home is safe and secure with a big garden. We are both active so walks will be no problem, whatever breed you have and the needs they require, we will ensure we meet them. We have a lot of love to give. We have a fully fenced garden with plenty of grass for them to run around. We have a spare bedroom to make your pet feel at home, or if they need to be kept in a crate overnight and would prefer being downstairs, that’s not a problem either as we have plenty of downstairs space. We can be adaptable to your pets needs.
“Amber and Tom are great, they had my 3 year old cocker Cody for day care and overnight stays and he had a great time. Amber sent regular updates of what they had been up to and all walks etc tracked on Rover to give piece of mind when away from your pups. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again in the future 😊. Thank you Amber, Tom and Cody’s new mate Daniel”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets for friends, family and neighbours. I’m responsible, patient and genuinely enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime and care. I also volunteered at an animal shelter in Spain, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs and backgrounds. This included feeding, cleaning, exercising and socialising animals, as well as giving them patience, reassurance and plenty of affection. This experience taught me how important it is to understand each animal individually and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, giving medication if needed, and caring for pets with different needs. I also have a very loving, cuddly cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can completely trust. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your cat. I’m available throughout the week and at weekends, and I can provide regular attention, feeding, playtime and companionship. I’m happy to discuss your cat’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to while staying in my home. I have a calm, cat-friendly home where your cat can feel safe, comfortable and relaxed. I have a loving and cuddly cat of my own who is very friendly and well behaved. I make sure windows and doors are secure, keep potential hazards out of reach and provide cosy spaces where cats can rest and feel at home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make your cat’s safety and wellbeing my priority.
“Giedvile and her partner were just brilliant with Scarlett! They fitted us in last minute and looked after her amazingly. She came home happy and contentedly tired which is such a good sign as she is quite nervous around new people and can struggle to settle in. They also took the best pictures of her I’ve ever seen. We’d be super keen to book with Giedvile again and would highly recommend.”
“Puddles absolutely loves going to spend the day with Thomas and Sabrina. They always take immaculate care of her and are very forgiving of some of her less than perfect behaviours. I couldn't recommend more highly!”
“Petra & her family were fantastic with Ralph. They cared for him very well, gave him plenty of attention and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos. I’d have no hesitation recommending Petra to other dog owners and look forward to using her services again.”
About: Family home with a spacious garden and local woods for long walks. Happy to accept well behaved dogs with good recall when walking and calm home behaviour. Must get on with children, very much an occasional service. Normally accept short term bookings of a few days but can occasionally accommodate longer stays for tried and tested dogs. Cannot accept any bookings without first meeting and walking your pet so please allow time for this. I have currently have very flexible part time employment and can normally adjust my schedule to suit your needs. Pet care at my home and regular walks/travel can be fitted around what works for you. I have a spacious fully enclosed garden and will ensure your pet is with enthusiastic and friendly company from arrival to home time. My local area has lots of varied walking locations.
“Duane and Amber have been looking after my puppy, Arwen, for many weeks now and they are always wonderful with her. They've been very reliable and flexible when things are last minute.”
About: I have myself lived with cats for my whole life, and looked after my grandma's dogs for years. I genuinely love their company, and I really miss it. I am planning to get a dog in the future but I am allowing myself a few years to still have some flexibility, which is the reason why I am on this amazing platform! I am working from home 2 to 3 days a week so I am pretty flexible. I am happy to look after dogs whenever, as long as I know a little bit in advance. I try to keep them happy and entertained as much as I can, going for big walks, trying to understand their needs at the most, whether it is to feed them, let them sleep, any pain they might feel.
About: Hi, I'm Aaron and I'm pleased to offer dog boarding services. Although I have none of my own, I've been fortunate to live with dogs and cats in a variety of situations and locations. I've also fostered cats for a local charity. I enjoy bonding with all kinds of animals and I've exercised horses and cared for ducks and chickens. I've house/pet-sat for friends and strangers who've become friends. I have a terraced house in Staple Hill (BS16) with an enclosed high-fenced garden. I'm a few minutes walk from Page Park but also enjoy walks around nearby Overscourt Woods and (disused) Shortwood Golf Course and surrounding fields. I have a spacious estate car that can cater for muddy and excitable pups! I work very flexibly from home and so whilst with me in the house your pet will have as much attention or calm as it needs. Thank you for reading my profile! If you think I could be of assistance please get in touch any time. Kind regards, Aaron I live alone and work very flexibly from home and so whilst with me in the house your pet will have as much attention or calm as they need. I have a terraced house in BS16 with a secure and enclosed high-fenced garden which your dog can access any time during the day.
“Liz was an excellent sitter for Nelly, taking the time to meet up in advance to meet Nelly and understand a bit about her needs. On the day, Liz regularly kept us updated with pictures and information so we could see Nelly was having a great time. We would definitely use Liz for any services again - highly recommended.”
About: Hi, I'm Kerry! I share my home with my family, and a Cocker Spaniel called Bran. I've had dogs for over 10 years and genuinely love their company. Since bringing Bran home, I've spent a lot of time learning about the needs of active and busy breeds. I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation and, I enjoy incorporating training, enrichment and sniffy walks into my dog's day. I'm home throughout the day so your dog would have lots of company and I can offer flexible walks and drop in visits that suit your dogs schedule. Most importantly, I'll care for your dog as I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while they're with me. Your dog would be treated like part of our family. I have a flexible schedule and will be home throughout most of the day. My husband works from home, so if I pop out, there will still be someone around to give your dog plenty of attention and care. I am able to offer two walks a day and your dog would never be left alone for long periods of time. I can offer walks and drop ins througout the week. If your dog needs a lunchtime walk, some company while you're out and a toilet break, I'm happy to help! I have a secure garden with plenty of space so your dog can safely enjoy outdoor time. For any dogs staying with us it's important they're comfortable with family life and happy to spend time with my dog. Like most spaniels, he's sociable and enjoys play when meeting new dogs, but settles well afterwards. That said, I also have enough space to provide separate, quiet time. Meet and greets are always welcome to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. For drop ins and walks, I'll fit in with your dog's usual routine as much as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way.
“Victoria is excellent and we recommend her highly. When we first booked, we had a long conversation on the phone to discuss food/ behaviour/ triggers etc and we felt very comfortable that our boy was being thoroughly cared for. Thank you again!”
About: I have taken care of different breeds of dogs from cockerpoos to dobermans. I have helped training my friend's dogs. I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have an energetic and friendly Australian Shepherd that will always up for play and keep company for your dog. I work from home most of the time and my partner is always at home. We are flexible with fitting walks/potty breaks around our schedule. I live in a quiet neighbourhood with parks and greenspace nearby. I have a fenced garden and a super friendly Australian Shepherd Goof to keep your dog company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Samuel did a great job caring for our Labrador. Leo came home relaxed and happy, which says a lot about the care he received. He was welcoming, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. Leo was clearly comfortable with him, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“It was our first time leaving Rosie with a dog sitter but Madeleine and Jake took great care of her and put us at ease. We could go out for the day and enjoy ourselves, not having to worry about whether she was lonely or unhappy at home alone. She had a good walk and fitted into their day. We will definitely be using them again. Thank you”

Mel clearly has a genuine love for and natural affinity with dogs . Harley can get quite anxious when I leave him but he was immediately at ease with Mel and she couldn't have been more attentive. Regular updates photos and videos throughout. After his first visit he was in no rush to leave! I would feel totally comfortable leaving Harley with Mel again knowing he will be spoilt and well looked after. Would highly recommend
Gomez had such a lovely day and was clearly very well cared for by Madeleine and her partner. They kept us updated throughout the day with lovely photos of Gomez on his walks and looking very relaxed and happy which really put us at ease. Great communication and care…would definitely recommend and book again! 🐾
We're very grateful to Isabelle for looking after our Lab/Collie mix, Mina! Isabelle took on our booking at short notice, and Mina had a lovely time. Mina can be anxious, but she settled in with Isabelle straight away and had a nice walk just around the corner in the park. Mina came home sleepy and happy! We'll definitely be asking Isabelle to look after Mina again
lovely couple, Delilah had a lovely day, first time I have properly used rover & what a great experience, thank you so much, with only a few days notice they was able to fit Delilah in for the day so I could go out for my mums 60th birthday, thanks so much again, will 100% be booking again!🐶❤️
Milo had a brilliant day with Liz, thank you! As a busy spaniel he can sometimes find it difficult to settle in new environments but here he clearly felt relaxed and at home.. Liz had taken everything on board about his little quirks (ball obsession being one) and Milo was a happy boy when picked up.. will def be using Liz again in future!
Henry was really accomodating when arranging to have Ripley for day care at his home. We did a meet and greet for a walk and a chat before the day, and I felt reassured about leaving Ripley with him. Henry was really responsive to messages and sent me photos and updates during her stay. Thank you! I hope Ripley can come visit you again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Gloucestershire on Rover is £23 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,782 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in South Gloucestershire. About 85% of South Gloucestershire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 South Gloucestershire 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.
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.
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.
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 .
