“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”
About: I have regularly been caring for family’s pets and been on call as a reliable and keen helper for many years. I have cared for non-family pets and homes and treat them like my own. My partner Jack and I may work together on some of the services and he has many more years experience in dog walking and dog boarding with his mother’s previous dog boarding business. He has a cocker spaniel himself, called Bryn, so this would be optional to join the pets for company or keep them separate. I am a reception class teacher with the summer off so August and early September I am available for very flexible work. I plan from October to be living in a van with a more flexible lifestyle and some teaching supply work to keep my flexibility with my pet sitting and walking. As we move into the van we will be able to offer more flexibility regarding locations and lengths of stay, as well as drop ins or pet sitting. I treat the home and the pets as my own with all the care I can offer. I enjoy leaving the home in a good condition for owners to return to and to care for their pets as they would wish for themselves.
“Wow!! Don’t even know where to start - perfect communication from initial enquiry to the end of the stay. Loads of lovely updates throughout, Ross went above and beyond on his stay and I couldn’t reccomend him enough - thank you, the dogs clearly adored you 💙”
“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.”
About: I’ve always loved animals as a child and more so now as an adult. I have a miniature dachshund of my own & spend a lot of time with my mum’s 5 year old dog too. I have often spent spare time previously dog walking & visiting animals of friends & family whilst they were away. I can’t wait to meet you & your lovely pet!😊 I work full time but from home. So I am able to take care of your pet anytime of the day. Whether this is popping in throughout the day to check on them, walking them in the mornings, evenings and on my lunch. I can also house sit any day of the week as I am able to work from anywhere!😊 I am able to work with all breeds and types of animals. If your pet needs some extra care or has any additional needs please let me know, I am more than happy to help!
“Sheryl was amazing in taking care of my two dogs. We don't leave them overnight often and they require regular medication so I was a little nervous, but she was so kind and caring that we immediately felt that they were in safe hands. Sheryl's communication was great and she provided updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend, we will definitely reach out again in the future if we require her services again.”
“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”
“Bethany looked after our little Marshmallow for a few days. She was brilliant and very understanding when we needed her to be flexible due to my husband's schedule. Highly recommended! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our cat!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Hannah was great and Tony took to her straight away! Very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates and asked anything she wasn't sure of. Tony was very happy when I returned and I could tell he had been well looked after! I would definitely recommend Hannah and wouldn't hesitate to book again!”
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.
“Emily looked after our little puppy when we went away for the night. She was really flexible and friendly the whole time. Our puppy is a little shy but he had a great time there and Emily looked after him very well, even letting him out at night. We would definitely use Emily again. Thank you xxx”
About: I have grown up around animals all my life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of everyday life for me. While I was away at university, I was trusted to look after other people’s pets, giving me experience caring for animals with different needs, ages, and personalities. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and getting to know their individual characters, while making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I work full-time during the week (9–5), but I’m available for pet visits before or after work, as well as on weekends. I enjoy spending my free time being active and getting outdoors, so I’m always happy to fit walks into my schedule where needed. Whether your pet needs company, feeding, playtime, a walk, or simply someone to check in while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I take safety and trust seriously and will always make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to get to know their individual personality, needs, and preferences, so they feel as relaxed and settled as possible while they’re in my care.

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.
