“Shannon was the perfect person to stay and look after my cat, whilst I went on a short break. She sent me pictures and kept me updated. Already have her booked in for a future holiday. 100% will use her every time I need a cat sitter.”
“Magdalena was absolutely lovely with Guava. Guava is very nervous when meeting new people, but Magdalena was so patient, kind, and understanding, and really took the time to help her feel comfortable. She also sent me lovely updates throughout, including photos, videos, and a sweet little slideshow, which I really appreciated. It was so nice to see how much Guava warmed up to her. I’d definitely recommend her.”
“Annie was brilliant with both our pets. Our cat is very timid but he came out of his shell and spent time with Annie. Our dog absolutely loved having her spend time with him and take him on a walk. Both our pets were thoroughly looked after as if they were her own and we would recommend Annie to anyone looking for a pet sitter”
“Katherine has been an absolute dream to work with. This is our first time using a cat sitter and it could not have gone more perfect. She is professional and has a gentle and caring nature with our cats. They seemed relaxed and very well cared for during her visit! Thank you so much.”
“Zoe was absolutely fantastic! We booked Zoe to dog sit in our home over 3 day's and couldn't have been happier with how it went. We had regular updates with pictures of Loki on his walks and relaxing at home, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our home was as clean and tidy when we got back as when we left it. We would happily book Zoe again without hesitation 🙂”
“Bethany was great. She totally look after Winnie our 1 year old cocker spaniel. Even in the heatwave Bethany was very considerate and was in constant communication with us. Would highly recommend.”
“I was immediately impressed with Izabela. Her biography showed that she was experienced with big dogs and on meeting my two greyhounds she was calm and well able to manage their excitement. They took to her straightaway and she was able to manage their anxiety at my leaving them with her with regular interaction and activities throughout the day. I consider Izabela will be an ongoing source of help for me and I am looking forward to planning other visits with her.”
“Sian helped us out near the end of a very tricky week, and we only wish we'd found her sooner! Absolutely lovely person and our pup Dillon took to her straight away! Would highly recommend!”
“Booked in last minute with Rebecca. Amazing communicator with lots of pupdates (photos and texts). Really appreciate your time and effort guys! Would 100% recommend and will book again! Aaron.”
About: We took some time out to complete some home renovations, but we are ready to welcome your furry friends back into our home ❤️ I have owned and looked after dogs since I was 13. Since getting our first puppy I truly can’t imagine my life without them. I love to provide a home away from home for your furry friends 🥰 I rescued a beautiful Shepherd mix from Turkey in 2019 so am experienced in rescue dogs or dogs with particular needs. We love to provide a home away from home for your dogs and will send regular updates and pictures. We live close to some beautiful walks so your furry friends won’t be without adventure. I am lucky enough to work from home full time so have a very flexible schedule that allows me to care for your dogs and be there throughout the day I have a good sized fenced garden to ensure your dogs safety. Our house is quite large so we’re confident we have the space for large and small dogs to ensure a comfortable stay. My partner and I are very versatile so can care for all dogs and are confident we can make them as comfortable as possible.
“Cailey was a great sitter, brilliant communication in the lead up and was great on the day. Both the dogs seemed super happy when we got home and were really well looked after throughout the day 😊 I’d definitely use Cailey again”
About: I’ve grown up with 3 dogs my whole life. I’ve had animals from rodents to reptiles to dogs and cats and horse you name it! Currently, I have a super friendly cat who enjoys to spend most of his time outside in the yard and a 4 year old horse. I use to be a dog walker back when i lived in Belgium. I love to be outdoors and the happiness and comfort of any animal in my care is my main priority. I currently spend most of my time at home or with my horse at the yard. First thing in the morning is to make sure my cat is fed and ready for his day outside, exploring the yard. As I love to be outside, I spend a couple hours of my day at the stables, riding and taking care of my horse. I love to go on walks in the forest or at the park so I make sure to get my steps in and enjoy the sunshine. I have a fenced yard with lots of grass and shade. I also have a hose, so if you pet likes to play with water or have a cool down that can definitely be done! I have a large downstairs living space, so lots of room for your pets to explore and find a comfortable spot. I like to keep my house quite minimal and clean as that suits me and my cat best.
“Emma did a meet and greet before she looked after our dog, Leo, for a day. He instantly felt comfortable with her, and she looked after him with his specific needs so well. He got plenty of walks and chill time and was ready for bed once we got back in the evening. Emma communicates well from the initial request all the way through the end of the booking and sends cute photos and updates. We’d definitely love her to look after Leo again!”
“How wonderful Lily is! Don’t hesitate to trust her with your dog…she took such good care of Lucky, my golden retriever over 3 days of doggy daycare. I was travelling to Gloucester for my business and needed walks and daycare for Lucky. She did both brilliantly. She is kind, trustworthy and adores dogs. Thank you Lily. Lucky and I will definitely see you soon.”
About: I’ve been looking after animals for over 10 years with a warm caring understanding way about me to ensure they are happy comfortable and content I currently work from home full time so I will be there for full time care, able to go on walks and toilet breaks whenever are necessary and able to stick to their schedule. I would treat them as my own with love and care. Stick to their routine and ensure they are happy, content and comfortable in their surroundings
“Shona was amazing with our very nervous GSD. She was on time, had really clear comms and was very understanding when we ended up being a bit late back. Highly recommend her as a sitter and our dog Mindy had a lovely time as well.”

Nicole is fantastic. She got the measure of our frantic Dalmatian, who can be a bit challenging really quickly. She spent time training with them, and clearly enjoys it. She also understood our cats, who are getting on now, and have trouble with their hips. We had regular messages from Nicole and lots of picture of the fun. She also hoovered and mopped the house before she left, which we didn't ask her to do and was very much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate asking Nicole to look after our boys again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tewkesbury on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 921 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tewkesbury. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Tewkesbury walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Tewkesbury 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.
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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
