“We left our dog Eddie with Rachael while we visited Amberley. Eddie has a little bit of separation anxiety when we leave him alone. Racheal took great care of him and made sure he was looked after. She sent us videos and pic updates. Recommend highly if you are looking to leave your dog in good hands.”
“Joyce and family took fantastic care of Gina, she took to them instantly on the meet and greet which was very reassuring before her stay started. Joyce gave lots of daily updates and made sure Gina was so well looked after with lots of walks, garden time, cuddles and care given to make her feel as settled and comfortable as possible. Would highly recommended and book again for future trips. Thanks a million.”
“Becky looked after Archie today at fairly short notice and obviously took great care of him sending us reassuring photos. Archie now has a new best friend in the lovely Dexter and we will be very happy to use Becky in the future. We fully recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Another great day for Stan. He is living being part of the ( select!) gang at Danielle's. It has been great for him to spend more time with other dogs, he lives the Common and I think he is very fond of Danielle and her family!”
About: My love for animals started at a young age, and I have spent my whole life caring for rescue dogs. Growing up with rescued pets taught me patience, understanding, and the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for every animal. Looking after animals has always been a passion of mine, and turning that passion into a full-time career would be a dream come true. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one as if they were my own. Whether it's a fun walk, companionship while you're away, or extra care for puppies and senior pets, I am committed to ensuring your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. With Paws & Friends animal services, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. 🐾❤️ I work a rotating shift pattern, which allows me to offer flexible pet care throughout the week. 🐾 Week 1 (Morning Shift): I work from 5:30am to 2:00pm and am available from 2:30pm onwards for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and boarding. 🐾 Week 2 (Afternoon Shift): I work from 2:00pm to 11:00pm and am available in the mornings until 1:00pm. 📅 Please message me to discuss your pet's needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate your preferred times." "Your pet's safety, happiness, and wellbeing are my top priorities. Having cared for rescue dogs and animals throughout my life, I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets are treated like family. I follow owners' routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication administration, and any special care instructions. I am committed to maintaining clear communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved at all times
“Louise is a lovely dog sitter. She regularly sends photos and messages me updating how Toffee is doing during the day. Toffee is very excited when he arrives at Louise's. I would thoroughly recommend Louise.”
“Louise is a star! She looked after our little Labrador puppy at v short notice and really cared for him. He returned happy and exhausted every day. I will definitely be using her again. Miles”
“Lacey was absolutely amazing with our Lola!! Lola can be anxious and slow to warm up to people but Lacey had her won over within minutes. Lola had the best day and we were absolutely certain she was well looked after. Brilliant communication, lovely updates and a very happy dog.

“Madeline has provided 2 day care sessions for our 7 month old puppy and both times have been superb. He comes back happy and relaxed and I feel at ease knowing he is well looked after. Would highly recommend”
“Wynne had an amazing first day with Lisa. She sent photos of him out on a walk, with a chew and playing with an interactive toy which he clearly loved. All communication was reassuring and Lisa responded promptly to questions. It was just so easy and she clearly knows a lot about German Shepherds and dog behaviours. We're booking him in with her again and it's a great relief to having such a great service available and a place where Wynne can go for a great day out and have fun.”
“Kristen is lovely and always takes good care of Coco, always communicates well and is kind and flexible. Coco always comes home happy and gets on with Kristens 2x doggies too! Will book again. Thank you”
About: Hi, my name is Alix. I am 24 years old and live in a ground floor flat in matson, Gloucester. I have 2 children, 3&5 years old. I also have 4 cats who have been the first encounter for many dogs which I am happy to do with the owner here if your dog hasn’t been around cats before. I also understand that sometimes dogs and cats aren’t the best of friends so I’m happy to keep them separate if needed. I unfortunately don’t currently drive so you would need to bring your pooch to me. Caring for dogs is a passion for me. I took a break from dog boarding for a while but now on the hunt to make more doggy friends and help out owners! I have been dog boarding for 3 years now and cared for dogs of all ages. My children are used to dogs & my partner has 2 Staffordshire bull terriers at his mum’s who my children see regularly. I also have a jack russel and a jug at my mum’s who I absolutely adore and grew up with. I have my own fenced garden and will definitely take your pooch on walks at our local field! Please get in touch if you’re interested. :).. I’m currently unemployed so always at home. Monday & friday I do school pick up and drop off, however if your dog isn’t very good with being alone I can bring them along or I can find someone else to take my daughter to school on the odd occasion if need be of the 2 days I usually do and I will stay home to ensure your dog isn’t left alone. As long as i have notice i can ensure we’re home all day if need be for your dogs anxiety I am in a ground floor flat, I have my own fenced garden and a field nearby which dogs absolutely love to go and have a run around. I keep dogs on lead for safety. Dogs will be welcome to come on the furniture and sleep in the bed unless the owner requests otherwise.
“Anthony looked after my husky while I was away for the day. He was very flexible with timings when I was late which was very helpful! I received updates throughout the day so I knew she was happy :) thanks again!”
“Thanks to Kim and family for taking care of my dog, this was my first time booking a sitter as my plans unexpectedly changed last minute so I was very glad to be accommodated at short notice. Communication was great, and it was clear my dog was well cared for. When I picked him up, he seemed happy, relaxed, and content, which means a lot to me. I’d definitely recommend and would happily book again.”
“Leanne has my mini schnauzer rosis every Friday and she absolutely loves it. Leanne makes such a fuss of rosie and has made her feel really welcome in her home. I would really recommend leanne”

There are 1,636 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Stroud. About 86% 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.
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 Stroud 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.
