“Came home to a very happy kitty! When Katherine came to meet us, my shy girl went straight over to say hello and was obviously very comfortable! She kept me updated and spent lots of time with my girl! Even watered the garden for me! Highly recommend 😺”
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.
“First time using a cat sitter and we were so pleased rebecca was able to come and keep an eye out on our boy during the hot weather. We had a meet and greet before we went away and were kept updated with daily feedback and pictures which gave us peace of mind. 100% recommended and would ask Rebecca to come again if she was free”
“Max was a great find on here! We needed someone pretty last minute for a check in and he replied super quick with a confirmation. We received the cutest photos of the pups whilst he popped in and look forward to a repeat booking! Thanks Max!”
“Sian has been visiting Odie for some weeks now and all is going very well. It was wonderful to see how quickly he took to her and I come home to a happy and calm boy, for which I am extremely thankful. Sian was very accommodating when plans had to change at my end and was also very helpful suggesting someone to cover for her when she wasn't able to visit.”
About: My daughter and I are lifelong dog lovers based in Cheltenham offering dog boarding in a relaxed family environment. As a dog mum myself I know how important it is for your pup to be looked after in a loving home like they’re used to. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family. I currently have a friendly, well-socialised Cavapoo called Honey, who loves other dogs and is very playful. I’m happy to tailor care to suit your dog’s personality and needs. I work from home full-time, meaning your dog will enjoy lots of company, attention and supervision throughout the day, with daily walks already a part of our routine! 🏡 Clean, secure home in Cheltenham with a large fenced garden for your dog to explore 💻 Working from home so your dog will have lots of company, attention and supervision 🌳 Daily walks (tailored to your dogs energy level) 🛋 Dogs are welcome to relax indoors on the furniture and be part of the family! 📷 Regular photo and video updates so you can relax whilst you’re away 🐾 I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so I can give each one proper attention 🚫 No smoking
“Shannon was fantastic looking after our very grumpy cat while we were away! She popped in every morning to feed him and sort the litter tray, and it was such a relief knowing he was being so well looked after. We really appreciated the updates, and, he was clearly very well cared for. Would definitely recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
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!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, springer spaniel growing up and now I have a sprocker! My partner also have 4 Rottweilers so have all the experience you could think off! I am extremely patient and good with shy or nervous animals. I have a lot of love to give and can't wait to love and care for your pets! I provide loving company for your pet as well as grooming, feeding and walking. Whatever your pets needs are, I can meet. I am a very positive and fun person and love to have play time with pets too! I work full time but happy to visit dogs or cats on my lunch breaks and any evenings. I’m also available for overnight stays and can discuss details to ensure it works around your pets. *Please note - for overnights stays and some long visits my partner comes with me. He also uses rover and has even more experience so is an extra helping hand and company for your loved ones. I’ve house sitted many of times as well as looking after dogs and cats so be assured they’ll be in the right hands to be cared for!
“I was incredibly nervous as this is the first time I’ve had to use a dog sitter/checker before but can’t believe my luck that Lizzy said yes! She offered to meet them to see how they would get on before taking on the booking and discuss the logistics due to my particular circumstances, and they loved her. She kept me well informed of how they were throughout the day and went above and beyond to tackle muddy paws when I hadn’t thought about the risk of rain! Highly recommend.”
“It's my first time using a pro dog sitter, and I was nervous as I have an elderly Pugzu and a nervous Frenchie puppy so kennels aren't an option. Needn't have worried, my boys thoroughly enjoyed having Stefani and Alex look after them, even my nervous/reactive puppy was as happy as anything! I received plenty of brilliant photos of my boys smiling away and updates throughout the visits! Was so nice to enjoy our day out without worrying, and we came home to two very happy boys who wanted to tell us all about it! Will absolutely use again, 10/10! 😊”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, growing up with four schnauzers and a cocker spaniel. I also had my own schnauzer, Teo, back in Colombia, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. I’ll care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I run my own freelance interior design business from my home studio, which gives me the flexibility to organise my schedule around my clients’ and their pets’ needs. This means I can offer home visits throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends where possible, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your preferred times. I’m also happy to arrange a free meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s the right fit for both you and your pet. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my priority. I currently offer home visits and dog walking, as I believe many pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind. At the moment, I don’t offer pet boarding at my own home as I don’t have a garden. However, it’s something I’d love to offer in the future when I have the right outdoor space. Until then, I’m committed to providing reliable, caring visits in your pet’s own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a small child. With always having a dog in the family home. Now I have my own Cavalier King Charles spaniel who I absolutely adore! So I work part time as a Nurse. I work 3 days a week Monday-friday. So I am available 4 days a week to take care of your furry friends. Very flexible on my days off. I have a very secure garden, and I live in a 3 bedroom house so plenty of room. My dog is very much a huge part of my family he snuggles up on the sofa with me and is able to roam around all over the house with no restrictions.
About: Experienced in pet and house sitting, always receiving positive feedback from owners. Treating each animal with the respect they deserve, and importantly ensuring every owners mind is at ease whilst away from their very important companions! I am also a pet and equine photographer. I’m currently working part time, aswell as managing my own art and photography business from home. This allows for a lot of flexibility in my schedule. All safety requirements are handled professionally, and your home environment will remain secure during any home visit services. I can appreciate any uncertainty when booking for the first time - which is why I can provide many references on request! I value professionalism just as much as high-standard pet care. All pets are unique and individual and will be treated with high regard, ensuring all individual needs and routines are prioritised.
About: My Grandma has had Boxers ever since I was born, I have always loved being around dogs and look forward to having my own. Unfortunately with my current housing situation i’m unable to have my own dog so I always look forward to looking after a dog whenever I can. I have looked after my Grans dogs on several occasions whether it be whilst she is on holiday, or needs to go somewhere dog free for the day. I work mon-thu 8am until 6pm so will be unable to provide care these days, however I would really like to fill up my weekends with a small friend. I have a fenced patio which is perfectly safe for any dog, however I prefer to provide care in your home or just go for walks!

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 Tewkesbury 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.

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.

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.
