“James took great care of Bailey and I couldn’t be happier with her stay. He sent me regular updates and photos throughout, which was really reassuring and gave me peace of mind. Bailey came home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent, and the whole experience was smooth from drop-off to collection. I would definitely book with James again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Pablo had such a lovely time staying overnight with Heather and her daughter. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so reassured and comfortable! Pablo loved playing with Heather’s dog Honey in their garden, and he came back such a happy and snoozy boy who had clearly had a fab time. We received regular updates and photos too - a perfect stay! Thanks so much Heather.”
“This stay was great as always! My dog loves staying at their house. I received many updates with photos throughout and I could see my dog was genuinely relaxed and happy. I will definitely be coming back!”
“Dominika and Adam were fantastic. Great communication before and during our dog’s stay with them. Lola seems to have had a great time there and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel was fantastic with my Chasey boy! I was worried about leaving Chase with someone new but Rachel was lovely and reassuring. She sent updates with pictures over the few days he was with her and Chase was so happy and exhausted when I fetched him, it was clear he'd had a great time! Would 100% recommend! Thank you!”
“Anna was really helpful looking after Sasha last minute. She was well looked after and was tired from the walks and playing, and enjoyed her stay! Would highly recommend! Thankyou.”
“Daniela was so lovely and warm, Luka was immediately at ease in her home and I was very happy leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and photos and Luka looked super relaxed and happy in them! He came home very reluctantly after clearly having a great time. Would not hesitate to recommend her :)”
“Kell had our two dogs for a month and I have never picked up two more happy dogs! He and his wonderful family looked after them like they were their own, even taking them to the beach and long daily walks, they were part of the family. I couldn’t recommend Kell more to anyone and I’m so happy I have found someone who is so brilliant with two completely different dogs both with different needs and helped Gus settle in so well with separation anxiety and I’m so looking forward to seeing Kell again!”
“Bethan and her husband have been absolutely fantastic with our dog. They helped out last minute when we were let down for someone to have our dog for our wedding. We were worried as our dog is quite nervous but he settled straight away and they sent videos & photos that were really reassuring during Rio’s stay! Would highly recommend and definitely trust them with my dog again”
About: I’ve had pet dogs since I was 8 years old and have grown up looking after them, we had 5 of our own dogs at my family home, all of 3 different breeds. I am a huge cat and dog lover and love every single animal, looking after and being with animals is my passion! I also have lots of experience with cats after having and looking after them for years! I work full time but I am available at weekends from Friday evening to Sunday evening, I can also accommodate to weekday evenings too and boarding but will have to leave early morning in the week. I have a fenced and good sized garden, I have dogs of my own but if your dog needs to be alone, I can also accommodate to this and have them stay at my family house.
About: I would be delighted to welcome your dog to stay in my quiet, safe home. My partner Seb and I have had Birdie, our rescue greyhound, for 2 years. Before adopting Birdie, I grew up with a dog and I've volunteered with dog-walking charities over the years and walked dogs and done catsitting for friends and relatives. When Birdie joined the household, I had to help her adjust to her new surroundings and life as a family pet. With time and patience, she's settled in wonderfully. Birdie loves the company of other hounds and I'm hoping to welcome some new visitors into our pack. Meet-and-greets / trial visits welcome. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! I work from home so there is usually always someone around during the work day. (I am out on Tuesdays so not currently taking Tues bookings). I tend to walk first thing, before the working day, and again after work. There are playing fields, open countryside and neighbourhood footpaths in the local area, and I can tailor walks to your dog's preferences and needs. Enclosed back garden for toilet opportunities through the day. I have an enclosed back garden (6-foot fences). Caring for an ex-racing greyhound, I'm well versed in ensuring that the home environment is safe, secure and peaceful. Meet-and-greets / trial visits welcome, and if you have any specific questions/requirements please don't hesitate to get in touch.
“Absolutely fantastic, Georgina’s communication was brilliant and sent plenty of pics of Gus which really put us at ease. Gus looked relaxed and happy in every photo, and for a dog with anxiety was wonderful to see. When we picked Gus up he was one happy boy. We would definitely use Georgina again.”
“Halley and Eddie were great - from the moment I dropped Trevor off I knew he was going to be well-looked after for the weekend. Halley was brilliant at communicating from the initial enquiry and throughout Trevor's stay, sending updates with pictures too which were really appreciated. Trevor loved his walks over at Cox's Meadow and came home happy and tired. Would highly recommend to all. Thank you Halley and Eddie.”
“Sarah and her family are very relaxed and welcoming from the first meet; truly ‘doggie’ people. They have a lovely, spacious home with a large, enclosed garden, well situated for walks to nearby parks and green spaces. Marley bounces in and makes herself at home every time (a bit too much when digging up Sarah’s garden 🥴). Sarah is very patient and loving with Marley and I know that when she’s there she’s in great hands and being well looked after.”
“Amy was excellent!! She sent lots of photos and updated throughout Winnie’s stay. I would highly recommend, and I will be in touch if I need Winston to be looked after again, Thankyou!”

“Ellie is great. I was a bit worried about leaving Norbert as I only adopted him before Xmas. I really didn't need to worry, he was super happy and chilled when I got home. If anything I think he was a bit disappointed it was me and not her 😂”
“This was my first booking on Rover and I was delighted with Lily and how she looked after my cat. It was great to get to meet her before the drop-in dates and so she could meet my cat. Lily sent photos and notes while I was away which was hugely reassuring, especially since my cat is a rescue and unused to being left alone for long. Would def recommend Lily and will hopefully book her again!”
“I had complete confidence in Gemma who dropped in to feed my cats while I was away. She sent photos each day which was reassuring as they are outdoor cats. I can recommend Gemma and would use her again”
About: I’ve looked after friends’ cats while they’ve been away, including feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning litter trays, spending time playing with them, and making sure they have plenty of company and affection (if they want it!). I know every cat has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to adapt to their needs and make sure they feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home.
About: Hi, I’m Karolina! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your cat as if they were part of my own family, I’d love to help. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Although most of my experience has been with dogs, I’ve always loved cats too. We had our own family cat, and these days I’ve somehow become friends with three of my neighbours’ cats—they’re usually waiting to say hello before I’ve even made it through the front door after work! I also worked in an animal shelter, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. My role included feeding, transporting animals, helping with recoveries after surgery, welcoming new arrivals and providing day-to-day care. Every animal was different, and that experience taught me to be patient, gentle and to always adapt to their individual personality and needs. I understand that cats like things done on their terms. Whether your cat is playful and curious or prefers a quiet nap and their own space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well looked after while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your cat is in caring hands. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or special requests. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend! 🐾
“Kate was excellent at caring for our cats while we were away. She was very friendly and our boys instantly took a liking to her. Kate was quick to communicate through the whole process and we appreciated the pictures and videos from the visits!”
“Lisa looked after our cat for a week while we were away and she was a great sitter, she spent plenty of time with the cat and sent photos and updates every day and is great with her. Will definitely ask Lisa again next time we go away.”
About: I’ve always loved animals as a child and more so now as an adult. I have a miniature dachshund of my own & spend a lot of time with my mum’s 5 year old dog too. I have often spent spare time previously dog walking & visiting animals of friends & family whilst they were away. I can’t wait to meet you & your lovely pet!😊 I work full time but from home. So I am able to take care of your pet anytime of the day. Whether this is popping in throughout the day to check on them, walking them in the mornings, evenings and on my lunch. I can also house sit any day of the week as I am able to work from anywhere!😊 I am able to work with all breeds and types of animals. If your pet needs some extra care or has any additional needs please let me know, I am more than happy to help!
“Courtney has been great with my kitty Monna. I got daily updates/peace of mind and Monna got daily entertainment/belly rubs. We'll definitely be in touch again when we need help next 🙂”
About: I’ve had cats all my life and they are honestly the loves of my life. I have experience with your normal moggy, to British Shorthairs and Exotics and even Siamese. I’ve given cats oral medications, topical treatments and not fussed about cleaning out litter trays
“We had an amazing experience with Gemma! Clemi bonded with her so quickly, giving us total peace of mind. Gemma sent daily updates, so we always knew our home and cat were in the best hands. It was such a comfort to know he was happy, safe, and loved. We truly hope Gemma is available next time; we highly recommend her for any vocal cat!”
“Heather has been brilliant from the beginning, she came round a few times before the sitting date to learn the meds too. Heather is easy to communicate with and we came home to some very happy cats, we’re very grateful to her!”
About: Hello, I’m Emma. I have over 15 years experience in pet care, including house sitting, dog walking and puppy training. I am also a dog wedding chaperone, helping happy couples have their beloved pets part of their wedding day. As well as offering services on Rover, I also have my own pet care business called Harris Hounds of Cheltenham. Full Insurence including public liability, DBS check and Dog First Aid Trained. Thanks for stopping bye, I look forward to hearing from you. ☺️🐾🐕 My services are subject to my availability as I do work but hoping to soon be in a position that I can do this full time. However I am free most evenings and weekends and also available to house sit whilst you are away. I am able to look after small animals at my place (weekends) and have a safe and secure garden. Any animals larger than your average small dog, it would be more convenient for me to look after them at your home. I am experienced with: - puppies - nervous dogs - elderly dogs - reactive dogs
“Going away and leaving our 9 month old rescue cat, Luna, for the first time was always going to be nerve wracking. We work from home so she is used to us being around all of the time. Luckily we have found the absolute ideal sitter for Luna in Micol. Micol came to meet her and understand her needs before her trip, and we were immediately impressed by her detailed questions and note taking. While we were away we got kitty updates with photos and videos, and were comforted to see how relaxed and happy Luna was. She met her needs (lots of play) and was super attentive, even playing cat music to her so that she was relaxed before she left. We returned to a well cared for, happy and relaxed Luna. I cannot recommend Micol enough. If you are nervous about leaving your fur baby like we are, then she is absolutely ideal and will put your mind to rest. ”
About: My partner and I have a 6 year old Sprocker called Tilly. She’s full of energy and loves other dogs! We know that Tilly would love having a friend to play with. She is very well socialised. I also grew up with a family dog 🐶 We allow dogs on the sofa and beds and have a garden - dogs can be let out as often as required. We are a very active family and love walking - we mainly walk Tilly off lead in enclosed fields, but can be flexible to suit another dog’s needs. I took Tilly to puppy training classes regularly so have experience in training young dogs. I am currently working from home so very flexible for daycare and dog walking. Tilly gets two walks per day (and sometimes a third short one in the evening), so we are able to walk as much or as little as required! :) We have a safe, fenced garden for dogs to play in. Our home is very dog friendly and we allow dogs on all furniture including beds if this is what your dog is used to. We do have a one year old baby, however he is not in the house between 8-5:30. We can therefore only accept dogs who are okay around children. I currently work from home for the majority of the week so am able to offer dog walking and day care on those days. On the days I work from home I take our dog on multiple walks. We have a secured fenced garden for dogs to play in and we live on a quiet road. I can tailor to your specific dog – for example, if they are crate trained or not allowed upstairs / on furniture.

“Angus had a wonderful day with James and Leah. He can sometimes be a bit nervous in new places but he had two walks in the morning with their dog and family and was comfortable enough to eat his lunch there which is unusual for him. Leah was very reassuring when I dropped him off. I’d be very happy to use their services again in future. Thank you”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, growing up with four schnauzers and a cocker spaniel. I also had my own schnauzer, Teo, back in Colombia, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. I’ll care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I run my own freelance interior design business from my home studio, which gives me the flexibility to organise my schedule around my clients’ and their pets’ needs. This means I can offer home visits throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends where possible, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your preferred times. I’m also happy to arrange a free meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s the right fit for both you and your pet. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my priority. I currently offer home visits and dog walking, as I believe many pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind. At the moment, I don’t offer pet boarding at my own home as I don’t have a garden. However, it’s something I’d love to offer in the future when I have the right outdoor space. Until then, I’m committed to providing reliable, caring visits in your pet’s own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable.

I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and getting to know their individual characters, while making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, with my grandmother who needed additional physical support for her beautiful Labrador, Bella, and my own two childhood cats growing up. I also had a yearly job looking after a Jack Russell called Harley for one or two weeks in the summer while the family went abroad. I am a very kind person, and I understand the importance of giving space to animals and reading their body language. I’m currently working part time in hospitality so I usually have plenty of time during the day and certainly in the mornings. Weekends do tend to be a bit tighter but I can do early morning care. I’m very central in Cheltenham with the ability to travel to homes, and if pets are okay with public transport, I like to do some walks up Cleeve Hill and Leckhampton Hill. I’m always happy to provide some company for the fur babies, with stop in visits to make sure they’re happy.

About: I've been around many different dogs my whole life. I grew up in a family where everyone has a dog, including myself. I love working with dogs and love helping out people with their pets.

I am currently working part time, so I can work around you and your fur-baby's schedule! I am available most mornings and some evenings depending on my work shifts.

About: Dog owner since I was seven years old. My lurcher was an angel who had three legs the last few years of her life, used to life with elderly dogs. My second dog was a collie/cairn cross who could be a little devil so I know how to handle some moodiness. My grandmother had three Rottweilers when I was little so used to big dogs as well. Calm, kind environment at home with the certainty of walks up the Cotswold hills. I’m currently working zero hour so can be around as much as required. My father who loves dogs works from home so there is additional care there! :) Currently working ad hoc; family home. My Dad works from home, loves dogs, my Mum does too. 3 people for the price of 1 :) Green grassy garden; perfect area downstairs for night that our dogs always used to sleep in. Close to town. Everyone drives, estate car so big boot to travel for more rural walks.
About: I learnt the responsibilities of caring for dogs early on in my childhood. I have grew up with dogs since I was a baby, and have always had a deep love for animals. I took this passion and love of animals and wanted to pursue it as a career. I studied animal management at college where I gained 3 years work experience in a boarding kennel. I then wanted to expand my knowledge further and continued my studies at Hartpury University in Canine Training and Performance, where I graduated with a 2.1 (upper second-class honours). Through this time I have gained a lot of experience on caring for a wide range of animals. Including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and even pigs! I volunteered at a pig rescue in Ireland where I learnt a lot about these spectacular animals, who are a lot like dogs! I've learnt to deal with animals of all kinds of temperaments and how to pick up on body language to adapt my approaches quickly to ensure safety for all parties involved. This also helps to ensure that the animals are as stress free as can be. I do work full time however, I am typically available Mondays and Tuesdays, and most evenings. However this can change due to my work schedule. I have a fenced of garden to ensure security during their stay. I am also very knowledgeable about canine behaviours and training so am easily able to pick up on signs of distress when out on a walk to adapt and change to the environment
“Lisa has been completely brilliant, accommodating Her Ladyship and I very last minute. Marcie has really engaged well with Lisa and is always delighted to see her. Thank you Lisa, you’re a star.”

I’m confident in applying topics medication, grooming and bathing I work flexibly full time, working from home 4 days a week. I go on daily hour long lunchtime walks anyway, as well as being free most evenings and weekends I’m comfortable in crating and grooming pets, as well as giving them peace or cuddles when they need or want it. I think I’m quite good at recognising animals signals

“James took great care of Bailey and I couldn’t be happier with her stay. He sent me regular updates and photos throughout, which was really reassuring and gave me peace of mind. Bailey came home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent, and the whole experience was smooth from drop-off to collection. I would definitely book with James again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Pablo had such a lovely time staying overnight with Heather and her daughter. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so reassured and comfortable! Pablo loved playing with Heather’s dog Honey in their garden, and he came back such a happy and snoozy boy who had clearly had a fab time. We received regular updates and photos too - a perfect stay! Thanks so much Heather.”
“Rachel was fantastic with my Chasey boy! I was worried about leaving Chase with someone new but Rachel was lovely and reassuring. She sent updates with pictures over the few days he was with her and Chase was so happy and exhausted when I fetched him, it was clear he'd had a great time! Would 100% recommend! Thank you!”
“Anna was really helpful looking after Sasha last minute. She was well looked after and was tired from the walks and playing, and enjoyed her stay! Would highly recommend! Thankyou.”
“Daniela was so lovely and warm, Luka was immediately at ease in her home and I was very happy leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and photos and Luka looked super relaxed and happy in them! He came home very reluctantly after clearly having a great time. Would not hesitate to recommend her :)”
“Kell had our two dogs for a month and I have never picked up two more happy dogs! He and his wonderful family looked after them like they were their own, even taking them to the beach and long daily walks, they were part of the family. I couldn’t recommend Kell more to anyone and I’m so happy I have found someone who is so brilliant with two completely different dogs both with different needs and helped Gus settle in so well with separation anxiety and I’m so looking forward to seeing Kell again!”
“Bethan and her husband have been absolutely fantastic with our dog. They helped out last minute when we were let down for someone to have our dog for our wedding. We were worried as our dog is quite nervous but he settled straight away and they sent videos & photos that were really reassuring during Rio’s stay! Would highly recommend and definitely trust them with my dog again”
About: I’ve had pet dogs since I was 8 years old and have grown up looking after them, we had 5 of our own dogs at my family home, all of 3 different breeds. I am a huge cat and dog lover and love every single animal, looking after and being with animals is my passion! I also have lots of experience with cats after having and looking after them for years! I work full time but I am available at weekends from Friday evening to Sunday evening, I can also accommodate to weekday evenings too and boarding but will have to leave early morning in the week. I have a fenced and good sized garden, I have dogs of my own but if your dog needs to be alone, I can also accommodate to this and have them stay at my family house.
About: I would be delighted to welcome your dog to stay in my quiet, safe home. My partner Seb and I have had Birdie, our rescue greyhound, for 2 years. Before adopting Birdie, I grew up with a dog and I've volunteered with dog-walking charities over the years and walked dogs and done catsitting for friends and relatives. When Birdie joined the household, I had to help her adjust to her new surroundings and life as a family pet. With time and patience, she's settled in wonderfully. Birdie loves the company of other hounds and I'm hoping to welcome some new visitors into our pack. Meet-and-greets / trial visits welcome. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! I work from home so there is usually always someone around during the work day. (I am out on Tuesdays so not currently taking Tues bookings). I tend to walk first thing, before the working day, and again after work. There are playing fields, open countryside and neighbourhood footpaths in the local area, and I can tailor walks to your dog's preferences and needs. Enclosed back garden for toilet opportunities through the day. I have an enclosed back garden (6-foot fences). Caring for an ex-racing greyhound, I'm well versed in ensuring that the home environment is safe, secure and peaceful. Meet-and-greets / trial visits welcome, and if you have any specific questions/requirements please don't hesitate to get in touch.
“Halley and Eddie were great - from the moment I dropped Trevor off I knew he was going to be well-looked after for the weekend. Halley was brilliant at communicating from the initial enquiry and throughout Trevor's stay, sending updates with pictures too which were really appreciated. Trevor loved his walks over at Cox's Meadow and came home happy and tired. Would highly recommend to all. Thank you Halley and Eddie.”
“Sarah and her family are very relaxed and welcoming from the first meet; truly ‘doggie’ people. They have a lovely, spacious home with a large, enclosed garden, well situated for walks to nearby parks and green spaces. Marley bounces in and makes herself at home every time (a bit too much when digging up Sarah’s garden 🥴). Sarah is very patient and loving with Marley and I know that when she’s there she’s in great hands and being well looked after.”

“She is a special person, my dog was very well taken care of, she is a very responsible and caring person, both she and her partner are very pleasant people, very sociable and friendly, I always received information about the dog, pictures and videos, I am very happy to have met her and I will use her again whenever I need to. THANK YOU”
“Kristen and her husband are lovely people. I felt so at ease. My spaniel Bella looked relaxed straight away, I loved the pictures of her during the day and will def be requesting more doggie day care ❤️”
“We picked Sarah because of her training and the fact she had experience with dogs through her studying, for 11 nights whilst myself and my partner went away. We had regular updates, felt like Big Boys needs were catered for and she responded quickly when/if we needed to speak. Sarah gave big boy the love and attention he needed, which enabled us to relax without any anxiety regarding our lads care.”
