“Spike stayed with Laura for 10 nights. He seemed to have a whale of a time, and had lots of new experiences. Laura kept us updated while we were away and we didn’t ever worry about how Spike was doing which allowed us to enjoy our holiday that bit more. I’d have no hesitation leaving Spike with Laura again, she obviously enjoys being around dogs and Spike enjoyed her company too.”
“Eve was a great sitter for our Lady. Especially under the extreme circumstances of the heatwave. We had some updates, and Eve amended the care plan to fit the extra heat situation too. Will be rebooking for next month. Thank you for taking good care of our girl. Much appreciated. 🙏🏼💖”
“Thank you Ella, Patrick and Nova for looking after Teddy. The photos and updates were so reassuring. I've never left Teddy with anyone (except my sister) before so I was a bit worried he might be sad. I didn't need to worry! Ella and co took great care of Teddy taking him on walks and played fetch, his favourite things to do, I could tell from the photos he was very happy and contented. I would not hesitate to contact Ella again if needed, she's warm and friendly and I can tell a natural with our precious pooches . Thank you again, Teddy sends hugs and licks.”
“Leanne was amazing with Randall! Had plenty of updates and pics of his stay with her and he settled in quickly which is great to see. Would not hesitate to book again and would highly recommend x”
“Holly had a lovely time and enjoyed all the fuss and attention. When I first started searching for a sitter to look after Holly for three weeks I was quite worried about leaving her for that length of time, but once we had met Anna I knew our girl would be in safe hands. Thanks Anna 🐾”
“Shelley was the perfect the dog sitter for our Vizsla Bailey. She made us feel so comfortable by ensuring she got to know us before the sit by meeting for a few walks prior. Bailey had a wonderful time and made some lovely bonds with her family. During the sit Shelley shared photos everyday of Bailey which was lovely to see her having a great time. We would highly recommend Shelley and her family to sit for your pets!”
“Mo had a super time with Margarita! Margarita really took care of Mo ensuring he was well fed and watered. Margarita sent us daily updates and videos of his holiday. We’d definitely book again!”
“James was lovely from start to finish. Very communicative about what was needed in advance, and you could tell they are used to dealing with dogs. The family were very friendly and our dog came back happy! We received updates whilst we were out which was nice.”
“Nicola and her family were just fantastic. Branston loved staying with them and the family loved having him. Nicola is a very caring person and loves dogs. Nicola also sends lots of doggy updates and pics and knowing our dog was being well looked after just meant we could enjoy our break without worrying.”
“Georgia was amazing. She looked after our fussy cocker spaniel Lily as if it were her own dog. With love and kindness and all we could ever need for Lily. Wonderful friendly warm person who goes above and beyond. Thank you !”
“Hi! I just wanted to say a huge thank you for looking after Dash over the last four days. You did such an amazing job, and I really appreciated the daily updates and photos—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Dash was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the whole time. Thank you for taking such good care of him and treating him like your own. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask you again in the future and would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thanks again!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience for my dog Hugo. Not only did Belinda keep me updated on how my dog was getting on for the duration of his stay, she also sent me pictures. Excellent service. Belinda has a great passion for animals and also made us feel so welcome on arrival and when I collected. I know I will love for her to care for my dog again when I’m on holiday or have to work away. Belinda Thank you ?”
“Our first time with Rover and couldn't have asked for a better stay for Rafa. He clearly had a great time and was treated like one of the family by Gloria and Chris and found a new best friend with their dog Marley. Great updates and photos during his stay. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.”
“My one year old cocker spaniel had a fabulous 10 days with Mikayla and Alec! Mikayla arranged a meet and greet to check he would get on with their dog Susan and wanted to know his routine, likes, dislikes etc so she would know how to care for him. He was treated like one of the family and got on with Susan brilliantly. Mikayla kept me updated with frequent photos so I knew he was getting on well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mikayla to anyone looking for a boarder who will care for your dog like their own 🐶”
“Sadie's two night stay went very positively with this sitter 😊 We had a very good initial meet and greet and felt very comfortable leaving Sadie in their home. I appreciated a couple of updates during her stay and was happy to see her settling in well! Sadie is an older and quieter dog and this sitter provided for her needs very well. I would definitely recommend this sitter based on my experience.”
“Eleanor could not have done more to ensure a fantastic stay for Lisa, even collecting and dropping off to help me out. Lisa had a fantastic time with Custard, Peter (and the cat) and came back full of health and bounce. I could not rate Eleanor and family more highly.”
About: About Our Home & Experience I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all personalities. I am dog lover who truly understand that pets are cherished family members. I know how stressful it can be to leave them behind when traveling, which is why I offer a warm, safe, and loving "home away from home." Meet Chamcham & Our Dog-Friendly Home I am a proud parent of Chamcham, my friendly, playful, and neutered 1.5-year-old Cockapoo (10 kg). I raised Chamcham from an 8-week-old puppy using positive reinforcement, lots of treats, and unconditional love. I also had a rescue dog named Caramel, who had a timid past. Through patience and care, I helped him overcome his anxieties before he peacefully passed away from old age. These experiences taught me that every dog is unique and deserves a tailored approach. Daily Routine & Comfort Spacious & Safe: I have a fully fenced, secure garden. When the weather is nice, the garden door is kept open for free play; otherwise, I listen closely to our dogs' cues when they need a potty break. Active Days: I am a teacher, and during the summer break, I have plenty of time to dedicate to my furry guests! We take walks at least twice a day (morning and evening), with extra outings or midday strolls whenever needed. Home Comforts: Dogs are welcome on all furniture in my home to lounge and relax! Peaceful Environment: I have no children at home, ensuring a calm and focused environment for your dog. Whether your dog needs an energetic playmate like Chamcham or just a relaxed, cozy spot to nap, I am excited to welcome them into our family! As a teacher currently on summer break, I have full-time availability to dedicate my complete attention, care, and love to your dog throughout the day. My daily routine includes taking my dog for at least two main walks every day—once in the morning and once in the evening—typically lasting between 30 to 70 minutes each. Since I am home during the break, I am extremely flexible and happy to add an extra midday walk or play session whenever needed to suit your dog's individual routine and energy levels! I am lucky to live near lovely green spaces and parks away from busy roads, making our walks safe, peaceful, and enjoyable. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely and relax. My friendly Cockapoo, Chamcham, is always up for a game, ensuring our guest dog has a fun and wonderful stay with us!

We couldn’t have been happier with how well Winnie was looked after by Gloria. Communication was quick and friendly from the very first message. We received regular lovely photos and reassuring updates about how Winnie was getting on. It was lovely to see how happy and relaxed she was, and how much fun she was having with them and their lovely dog Marley. Winnie clearly had a fun time and was so well cared for she was reluctant to leave them! We would highly recommend Gloria and hope she’s available the next time we go away. 🐾❤️
Kat was absolutely incredible with my 11-week-old puppy, Taz! Leaving such a young pup while away could have been nerve-wracking, but Kat provided daily updates, stuck strictly to his routine, and even kept up with his ongoing training. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands gave me complete peace of mind so I could fully enjoy my holiday. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for top-tier care!
Our labrador, Bertie, has just had an 8 night stay with Josh. It was the first time we'd left him, so we were a bit apprehensive. We met Josh for an initial walk, then Bertie had a trial day before his 'holiday'. He had the best time, he loved being with Josh's dogs and the different experience of being with someone else. We had lots of updates and there were no issues. We are pleased to have found a place for Bertie to go in the future. Thank you!
Belinda is amazing! She is really friendly and has a lovely energy. She is clearly a dog lover and I felt very reassured and comfortable leaving my elderly dog with her. She sent daily updates and pictures and my boy clearly had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend Belinda!
Anisha was amazing with our little Nani and took great care of her whilst we were away for a week. We received many photo updates of Nani happily playing with her dog Storm, and we are sure Nani was sad to see their time together come to an end. We would highly recommend Anisha as a fantastic and trustworthy dog sitter!

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 2,366 sitters in Basingstoke, 66% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
