“Having just used Rover for the first time, I can honestly say what a brilliant experience it has been. Feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful local to look after Rupert. Ajay is such a lovely young man. He clearly loves dogs and is very natural with them. He was really tuned in to Rupert's needs and checked in with us about anything that might affect him. Rupert seemed happy and well cared for, and we will definitely book Ajay again. Can't recommend him highly enough!”
“Rachel was amazing. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Our dog was well looked after and she sent loads of pics to reassure us all was well. She provided a loving home and treated our dog as if she was her own.”

“We would have given Joyce 6 stars if we could :-) From our first contact through Rover.com Joyce has been very helpful, even providing coaching on how best to use the site. Our boys are 6 years old and this was the first time they have stayed with away form home. Joyce was brilliant with the boys and us. Joyce's communications before and during the visit we excellent and the boys were very well looked after by Joyce and her lovely family in their beautiful home. I cannot rate Joyce highly enough and would fully recommend Joyce to anyone seeking a caring environment for their cherished pets.”

“Louise was the perfect host for our dog Rocky. Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear from the start that he was in safe and caring hands. Her home is immaculate, with a lovely garden that backs directly onto open fields, which made for ideal walks. Rocky was thoroughly looked after with plenty of exercise, attention, and pampering. We especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and videos, which meant we could relax knowing he was happy and settled. Thank you, Louise. Rocky will definitely be back for another stay soon.”

“Lacey and her partner Steve were absolutely lovely. We had to leave the dog for a day and night as we were going to a wedding and I was nervous about leaving Rona with a stranger. Lacey is lovely and put me at ease. We managed to relax and enjoy the wedding, not worrying about the dog at all. Rona had a fantastic stay. Lacey is kind, thoughtful, welcoming and very good with dogs. I highly recommend. Thank you so much 😊”
“Lucy was great with helping me along with my first booking through ROVER app. Very attentive and we had a meet & greet a month earlier which meant I knew Millie would be in a lovely safe and friendly family environment. Millie had a great time with Lucy sending me pictures that showed a chilled out Millie & a busy Millie . Made me feel happy knowing she was enjoying her day. I will be ever so happy to leave Millie with Lucy and her family again. ⭐️🤩”
About: Hi! I'm Becky, I live in Dursley with my 8 year old Cockapoo, Dexter. I work from home Monday-Friday as a Technical Consultant & Dexter and I are more than happy to welcome doggy visitors for day-care or boarding where needed :) I live in a house with a good sized fully enclosed garden, dogs are allowed throughout the house & on both the sofas and bed! There are also lots of dog beds dotted around for comfort. I've lots of experience dog-sitting for family members, and have also fostered dogs for a local dog charity in the past. Dexter is very friendly and welcoming to any visitors! Dexter has separation anxiety, I am therefore home most, if not all of the day - so a typical day will usually be a quick walk in the morning, relax while I work, then a longer walk at lunch on my break, usually off-lead weather permitting - although I'm more than happy to keep any dog on-lead if necessary! Dogs will always be separated during breakfast & dinner times, and I usually keep any chews and toys tucked away out of sight to avoid any conflicts when visitors are staying :) I work full-time from home, therefore your dog will always be in company. We have a quick walk in the morning, followed by a longer walk off-lead for a good run around at lunch. I have a good sized fully enclosed garden your dog can sniff around! Dogs are allowed on both the sofas & bed in my home. They will be separated during feeding times to avoid any conflicts during dinner!
“100% recommend, took great, professional care of our cat, Franca, during our holidays. Franca came back extremely relaxed and was visibly happy to be there. Regular communication and updates. Yanf is clearly animal lover with passion.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much for having Milo and all the updates. It was really reassuring being away and knowing he was so well looked after. Melissa was really great with him and brilliant on comms. I would certainly use her again and recommend her to others. She treated Milo like one of the family.”
“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”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stroud on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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 .
