Daisy is a friendly, professional and reliable dog walker/sitter. My rescue mini poodle with separation anxiety was comforted by her presence again today. She has a calming influence - my Angus whisperer! Thank you Daisy!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 7. I’ve never not had a dog or been taking care of others. Whether it’s going on walks, dog sitting, volunteering at the RSPCA or more, I’ve always been a dog lover. I only want to let them have the happiest most loving experience life can offer. I have worked with a dog trainer and assisted in training for many dogs as well. I’m currently working full time with a hybrid schedule that allows me to work from home. I’m also able to bring a well behaved dog into the office if necessary. I also drive so transportation is no issue I have recently moved so this is the first time ever that I haven’t had a pet due to not being allowed with this flat. However we always had fenced yards, took the dogs on regular walks and road trips, had stellar relationships with the vet, and would allow the dogs to come inside regularly. They were very well trained as well.

Liz is great. She visited Fivey twice a day for a weekend and not only administered his injections, checked his food, water and litter but also spent time playing with him and giving him some company. Five took to Liz straightaway which is unusual. Very trustworthy and a thoughtful individual. Would recommend to look after any pet. Will be using Liz again

About: With years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members somewhere they’ll feel safe, happy, and loved. My pet boarding service is more than just a place to stay — it’s a home away from home. I provide personalised care based on each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra playtime, medication, special diets, or just lots of cuddles. Having worked with dogs, cats and a variety of small animals, I’m confident in handling pets with different temperaments and routines. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are treated like family — because they are. 🐾 Because I work from home, pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I’m around throughout the day to give pets regular attention, outdoor breaks, playtime, and snuggles — not just at set times. This allows me to keep a close eye on their well-being, follow their usual routines, and give them the comfort of companionship rather than long stretches alone. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to each pet’s feeding times, walk schedule, or special needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or quiet evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels cared for and included in my daily routine. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, which is why I care for them right in their own home — surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they already love. I do my best to keep things as normal as possible, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and snuggles, so they feel secure while you’re away. Since I work from home, I get to spend lots of time with your pets during the day, giving them attention, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m also happy to handle any special needs, like medication, special diets, or just extra cuddle breaks. I treat your pets like my own and your home with respect, so you can relax knowing everything (and everyone!) is well cared for until you’re back. 🐾

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.

About: I have looked after and owned dogs and cats for over 3 years. I know exactly what is needed to provide the best care for your pets. Whether its a spaniel that needs exercise and brain engagement or a labrador that will do anything for treats, I can adapt to your pet and their needs. I am a uni student so I have a lot of free time, especially during easter, christmas and summer where I am available 24/7 to look after your pets. I am able to drive and have no commitments other than you and your pet. I will look after your pets however you would like, whether thats keeping them in one room, having cuddles on the sofa or taking them to play in the garden. I believe its very important that your pets stick to their daily routine as much as possible to avoid distress or anxiety so I will make sure to understand their daily routine and needs.

I will try to accommodate your pets needs to this, this may mean a family member of mine having to do a house visit around lunch time to allow for toilet breaks. I have plenty of experience with animals, whether your dog is not recall trained, or simply unable to go off leash, or needing to be crated or locked into a separate room overnight, I will accommodate, ensuring your pets safety comes first.

About: For 8 years I cared for my own dog, a loyal companion who taught me the patience and love every pet deserves. I’ve also looked after my family friends dogs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing gentle care. Your dog will get: playtime, walks and endless belly rubs | strict adherence to feeding and other routines | regular updates so you can rest assured. Losing my own dog deepened my understanding of how precious yours is - I’ll treat them like family. My current work is extremely flexible, I can design my schedule around pet care so your dog or cat gets my undivided attention. Whether it’s midday walks, overnight stays, or last minute check ins. I prioritise punctuality and consistency. I’m also available weekends and holidays, ensuring your pets routine stay uninterrupted while you’re away. At your home, I follow your pets normal routine to minimise stress: feeding on their schedule, reinforcing training rules (no sofa access? No problem), and sending photo updates. For dogs I provide walks/ playtimes tailored to their energy level. For cats, I focus on interactive play and quiet companionship. Your home will be left tidy, with fresh water, clean bowls and happy pets!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, African snails, chickens, stick insects and more. I have always loved animals with a passion and have been heavily involved with the training, maintenance and care of pets for most of my life. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I am almost always available to play with and care for your furry friends. I am available almost any time, but ask that people book in advance so that I can move round meetings etc in case. I have access to many toys and treats as well as fantastic knowledge of local walking paths (however if you are further a field or have any of their favourite routes that would be a massive help).

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, growing up around both dogs and cats and regularly helping friends, neighbours and family with their pets from a young age. Looking after animals has always come naturally to me, and my love for them was especially inspired by my own dog, Toby. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Whether it’s energetic walks, puppy visits, companionship, feeding routines or quiet cuddle time, I genuinely treat every pet like family. I’m DBS checked, fully insured and Level 2 Canine First Aid trained, so owners can feel confident that their pets are in safe and caring hands. I also provide regular photo and video updates for extra peace of mind. 🐾 I currently support my partner in running his business, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time throughout the week to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding at weekends and on weekdays after 4pm, and I’m also available for walks, drop-ins, companionship visits and overnight care depending on your needs. I love spending quality time with animals, whether that’s adventures and playtime outdoors, calm companionship, cuddles on the sofa or helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort will always be my top priority, whether caring for them in my home or in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I understand that many pets feel most relaxed in their own home and routine, so I always aim to provide calm, loving and attentive care that keeps them feeling safe, settled and happy while you’re away. I’m well versed with local walking spots, parks and safe enriching areas for dogs to explore, including a beautiful arboretum right on my doorstep, helping make every walk both stimulating and enjoyable depending on your dog’s individual needs and energy levels. I am DBS checked, fully insured and Level 2 Canine First Aid trained, so owners can feel completely reassured their pets are in safe and capable hands. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates throughout visits for extra peace of mind.

Alex is an excellent petsitter and we’ve been really pleased with how she has looked after our two cats whilst we’ve been on holiday. Following an initial visit to meet us and the cats, Alex kept in regular touch and we were grateful of the updates and photos she provided. Overall, I would not hesitate in recommending Alex.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Stroud

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Stroud on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,029 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Stroud. About 91% of Stroud 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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 .

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 cat, 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.

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.
