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!

Came home to two very happy and spoiled cats after a long weekend away. I knew they were being looked after well which honestly was such a relief. Thanks again!

About: We have been a family complete with dogs until May 2025. We miss the companion & I want to offer love & joy for other pets into our life's in our safe space of home. I have raised a larger Doberman & a springer in the last 20+ years. I have also been raised with other breads such as Golden Labrador, German shepherd, Staffies, Jack Russell’s & pugs. Each of our family pets attended puppy school & was crate trained. Both really good & gentle whilst supervised at all times around babies, children, adults & other dogs. Due to old age & health conditions meant we worked hard as a family to offer our pets the best loving health care in the home to meet their fitness needs & abilities keeping them stimulated & safe in all stages of life. When needed we sought guidance from professionals to ensure the best care & quality of life was provided to our fur babies. This allowed us to be in tune with our pets likes & dislikes, recall & training when off lead along with understanding other ways to appropriately stimulate love & nurture them. Away from the home we created many healthy experiences for them to mix with other pets & various breads, on beach & woodland adventures. Our home was a fun filled exciting space with varied pet characteristics which we miss. Days out exploring, garden water play, grooming & snuggles by the fire have brought much joy to our lives. This is what I offer for your pets when in our home, when under my supervision as the sole care person responsible for your pet when boarding with me. I work from home & can break to walk or step into the garden every 2hrs. The pets can be sat in my presence whilst working & can also be seen with free flow in & out of the property & garden in appropriate weather. I offer great flexibility in boarding 24/7. Last minute care & scheduled bookings are both welcome. I would be able to offer 3pets from the same home at any one time. I am flexible to offer both lead & if well trained with good recall off lead walks twice a day AM & PM. Our home is big & spacious with open living space onto a sundeck, a large front & rear garden fully enclosed for free play, stimulating controlled play, challenges & snoozing in the beautiful South west facing garden after long woodland walks in & around the Cotswold way. My previous springer spaniel was an anxious dog due to an early operation limiting puppy engagement. He required lots of carefully managed rehabilitation & gradual social interaction in his recovery. During this time I learnt to administer medication, implement training, stimulate & exercise him. All to suit his age, pace & needs to make an amazing full recovery to be a super fit & social friendly adult, much loved family pet. During this time we managed his recovery with crate rest & would be happy to provide this for other pets that also board at the home. I have one large crate at the property more would need to be provided. I offer free range of the upstairs living area of our property for the dogs to roam, explore & relax. We sleep down stairs & this area would be off limits to the boarding pets. If this is a preference for your pet when boarding with me, we would be able to discuss suitability. I have no children living in the home (just 3 adult dog lovers). I will be the primary carer for your pet during the board, but pets will be fussed by all. I have some family with children ages 9+ who are comfortable & good with dogs. On the occasional visit we would carefully supervise them around any boarding pets adapting to the pets needs.

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.

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!

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).

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.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Stroud pet parents with similar pet households.

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 .

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Stroud choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
