Daisy is professional and friendly. A calming influence on my mini poodle with separation anxiety. I left him today with complete confidence that Daisy would pop in and spend an hour with him to break up his morning alone. He was relaxed and no barking when I checked on him on the petcam before I set off home back to him. I recommend Daisy K!

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

Shannon was fantastic looking after our very grumpy cat while we were away! She popped in every morning to feed him and sort the litter tray, and it was such a relief knowing he was being so well looked after. We really appreciated the updates, and, he was clearly very well cared for. Would definitely recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

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 am a keen walker and runner, and thought why not take a dog along with me! That’s evolved into regular dog walking slots and over night or day sits in clients homes. I am a 40 year old married mother of 2 (youngest 14) living in South Gloucestershire. I am a project manager for my Local Authority by day. However, as I work from home I offer a dog walking / animal sitting service as a sideline. I have 2 regular weekly dog walks and an additional 5 dogs I provide holiday cover for. Breeds include labs, Yorkshire terrier, spaniel and French bull dog. We have one cat of our own and previously owned rabbits and lizards! I can provide further info and references on request. I am available between 7-10am, between 12-2pm and after 4pm for all your pet care needs mon-Fri. On weekends I can be flexible and available from 7am-10pm. For house sitting in your home I can be available 24/7. Walks will be one on one. Just myself and your precious pet. I will come to your home and look after your animals as you would. Providing a seamless service. Services tailor made to your pet needs. You instruct, I will make it happen. For over night stays I will likely be joined by my husband who has been called the ‘dog whisperer’ 😂 He adores cats and goes out of his way to say hello to any and all wherever we come across them 🥰

About: Hi! My name is Dan, and I’m a passionate and reliable dog lover offering personalized dog walking, daycare, and boarding services. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I understand that every pup is unique and deserves loving, attentive care—whether it's a fun walk, a cozy overnight stay, or daily check-ins while you're away. Safety, comfort, and tail wags are my top priorities, and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I'm here to give you peace of mind and your dog a happy, stress-free experience! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. Although I work full time, I have a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home several days a week, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Whether it’s fitting in walks during lunch breaks, early morning drop-ins, or evening playtime and overnight stays, I’m able to plan my day around the needs of each dog. My flexible hours mean I can provide consistent, attentive care—even on short notice—while ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that helps each animal feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and receive one-on-one attention, along with regular walks and a consistent routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual schedule, feeding routines, and comfort habits to minimize stress and maintain their sense of normalcy. I always make sure to keep open communication with pet parents, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they’re away.

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 have grown up with animals my whole life, dogs, cats, horses… you name it! And i love every single one of them. I have trained my puppy and she is an angel. I have cared for friends and family’s dogs and cats many times, this includes, walking, washing, feeding and of course fussing!!! I’m currently in the process of trying to make this my full time job which means i have a lot more play time available and would love to spend that with my fluffy friends! I have a fenced back garden which is plenty big enough for more furry friends. I have a dog crate if needed and can provide food and water bowls if required. I live in a safe neighbourhood surrounded by countless fields for beautiful walks.

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 August 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 1,103 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.
