About: We’re lifelong dog lovers that can’t wait to give your pup as much love as possible. We currently have a cocker spaniel x dachshund of our own that we’ve raised from a puppy, so we understand the patience, consistency, and care it takes to support them through every stage of life. On top of that, my partner (Grace) grew up with dogs so she has been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses for as long as she can remember. Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about dog behavior, body language, and the importance of positive reinforcement. This knowledge has been incredibly helpful not just with our own dog, but also when caring for other people’s pets, whether its giving energetic pups an outlet, or sticking to training routines we’re happy to help. We know how important it is to keep dogs on their own schedule and in line with the habits they’re used to, so we’re happy to follow any training, feeding, walking, or play requirements you have in place. For us, dogs are part of our family. Our goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, and fun experience every time they’re with us so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands. Grace works full time from home with the odd day in the office but Tom works from home when Grace is in the office so there is always someone at home. We have a small fenced garden to keep your puppy safe, and as we mentioned before we have a dog of our own so walks and playtime are already in our routine. Our pup loves to snuggle up in the evenings so we would love for yours to join us too.
“Leanne looked after our young pup for two days while I worked long shifts, and she was great. Our pup was excited to see her each day, and it was clear he felt comfortable in her home. She made sure he was well fed and taken care of, and he came home tired and happy—he slept soundly after what I can only imagine were very active, fun filled days. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommend!”
“Bailey had a great time. He had lots of walks and naps throughout the day, and I got regular updates in his activities. Margarita was very organised and paid attention to detail”
“Georgia! Thank you so much for looking after my boy and dropping him off as well. He came back home so happy so I can tell how great you wre with him and how much fun he had! Georgia sent me some pictures for reassurance and lovely messages to keep me updated! What a kind soul and amazing person! Thank you guys once again for looking after Maui 💕”
About: James and Toni have both had family dogs throughout our lives. James has a 14 year old black lab at his parents who we look after and miss not being around every day! James is self employed so can fit his schedule around the dogs. Early start so is home in the afternoons. Toni works from home 2 days a week which is flexible. We have an open plan downstairs with lots of space, and a stair gate to keep the dogs downstairs. We have an enclosed garden with space to explore.
“Biscoff absolutely loves Emma and ruby! He's always excited when he hears their name . Emma takes such good care of him, giving him lots of fuss, walks, treats and play time. She also sends little updates through out the day so we know biscoff is having lots of fun with his friends.”
About: Dogs have always been part of our life, starting with our family Pomeranian. I then inherited two Jack russels which gave birth to my little willow ☺️, and now here we are! We are countryside bums through and through .. horses, muddy boots, and a home that naturally revolves around animals. We joined Rover because we genuinely love caring for dogs (and because it stops me andopting another one… 😅). Every dog is treated like part of the household, so they feel right at home. We do things the right way here, and are fully licensed (26/00059/AWAAL), fully insured and a dog ruled home 🏡 I work from home every day, so dogs are never left alone. My routine is totally flexible and shaped around your dog 🌳. Our home has a large 160ft garden with brand new 6ft secure fencing, and we can collect and drop off in my (very loved) dedicated doggy car (the dogs seem to think she's fabulous) 😂🐾 Expect a happy dog, regular updates, and knowledgable hosts! Pet care fits into my daily life because it is my daily life 🐶 I work from home every day, so dogs are never left alone and are part of normal routines. Days are flexible and dog-led with garden time, walks, play, naps, and lots of company 🌳🐾 Basically, the dogs set the schedule and I just follow it 😅 Each stay is tailored to the individual dog staying with us ...Care is calm, consistent, and focused on making dogs feel safe, settled, and at home.
“Kirsty is amazing and so kind! I love her videos and how she looks after Maui. He is having the best time ever with her and Kobe. I am so greatful for her time when she looks after my boy. Thank you”
About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and many other pets throughout my life. I’m experienced with large breeds, can offer basic training support, and always take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own precious baby, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship to help them feel right at home 🐾❤️ I have flexibility in my daily routine, I’m available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and care, and I plan my routine around the pets I look after. I live in a house with a secure, fully fenced garden where pets can safely enjoy time outdoors. I have a gentle, well-behaved dog who is calm and used to being around other animals. I always introduce pets carefully and make sure everyone feels comfortable and settled. Your pet will be treated like one of my own, with a safe, clean home environment and plenty of attention, care, and routine maintained throughout their stay. 🐾
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with Poppy. Poppy clearly felt at ease even during the drop off process - Laura is obviously a calming presence! I was kept updated during the day and Poppy returned happily exhausted. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Poppy with Laura again.”
“Would highly recommend Lauren! She was brilliant at making sure I was updated throughout the day, and looked after our boy with such care. Couldn’t be happier with the service she delivered.”

Merryn had a lovely day with Eve. She looked after him beautifully, taking him out for wees and taking him for a good walk. He was happy to stay with her when I dropped him, going to sit by the treat cupboard, and he was happy when I picked him up. Thank you!
Biscoff absolutely loves Emma and ruby! He's always excited when he hears their name . Emma takes such good care of him, giving him lots of fuss, walks, treats and play time. She also sends little updates through out the day so we know biscoff is having lots of fun with his friends.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Basingstoke on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,361 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Basingstoke. About 87% of Basingstoke sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Basingstoke commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
