“Winter throughly enjoyed his 2 weeks away. A lovely family who provided plenty of video/photo updates throughout the stay. They looked after him so well and when we were stuck abroad they really put us at ease by taking care of Winter until we were able to get back. Winter clearly misses them and their dog, Mia. We highly recommend them.”
“Monica was excellent with communication and sent plenty of videos so we could see Chester was getting plenty of love and attention. He was certainly tired when he got home.”
“Eleanor and Raymond took such wonderful care of Lucy and all her little quirks. They went above and beyond, taking the time to get to know her personality - her likes, dislikes, and her favourite routine. They managed everything with a genuine affection for her. It was such a comfort to know she was in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“Romeo had a wonderful time with Lynn. I really appreciated the photos and updates that she sent me. I would highly recommend and would be happy for Romeo to stay with Lynn again.”
About: Hi, I’m Sophie! My partner George and I recently bought our first home in Eastleigh, and we’re both huge dog lovers. While our work commitments mean we can’t have a dog of our own right now, we’d love to help others by providing caring and reliable dog walking and sitting services. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, from a Border Collie to a Lhasa Apso/Yorkie mix, and now a lovely litte Poochon. I’m very used to grooming needs and making sure coats are well cared for. I also regularly help care for family dogs, including Labradors, so I’m confident with both small and large breeds. Having experienced every stage of a dog’s life, I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as giving extra patience, attention, and love to older dogs. I work full-time across four days a week, which means I’m fully available on Tuesdays and weekends. On my days off, your dog will have my full attention. I’ll always stick to your routine and make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for—whether that’s during a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I’m happy to provide as many walks as your dog needs, along with plenty of playtime and attention. They’ll also have access to a secure garden and a safe, dog-friendly home environment. I have a fully fenced, secure garden and plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. I’m also happy to take dogs out in the car for longer walks or new environments if they enjoy that. I always aim to follow your preferences and routine to make sure you feel completely comfortable. My home does have stairs, but these can be safely blocked off if needed. Dogs are welcome to settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. You’re very welcome to bring their bed, crate, blankets, or anything familiar from home. If your dog is used to cuddling up on the sofa, they’ll be more than welcome to do the same here!
“My 12 week old puppy stayed with Shadia for the day and she had the best time!! Shadia updated us regularly with photos, videos and it was sooo nice to know exactly what my puppy was upto while we were busy. My puppy also really enjoyed spending time with Shadias dog, and I felt it was really good for her socialisation too! If we are ever back in Southampton and require dog sitting, Shadia will be the first person I call!”
“We recently had Kellie look after our dog for the first time, and we couldn't be happpier with the experience, We received regular updates and photos which reassured us that Peppa was not only safe but happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Kellie again highly recommended.”
“Caroline looked after our dog for 5 nights. He was very happy to stay with her and she sent us a lovely message and picture to show he had settled in well. Thank you Caroline 😁X”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives and we’ve both grown up around them. We regularly care for dogs for family and friends and have experience with a range of breeds, ages, sizes and personalities, including rescue dogs who may need extra patience, reassurance and individual care. Pet care fits naturally into our routine as I work from home Monday–Thursday, my toddler attends nursery during the day, and my husband works evenings, meaning dogs will have plenty of company, supervision, walks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day in a calm, loving family home environment. We live in a detached family home with a secure, fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely play and explore. We also have our friendly Cavachon, Theo, who loves other dogs, enjoys walks, naps and playtime, and is very gentle and sociable. Dogs staying with us would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of supervision, affection, exercise and care tailored to their individual needs in a calm, safe and loving environment.
“Accepted our request promptly and at very short notice! Great communication and plenty of photos and videos sent to us during Winter's short stay. Highly recommended”
“David was brilliant. He is a real natural with dogs. Juno was very happy with him, he followed her routines and he kept me well informed. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“Pablo very much enjoyed his stay and loved seeing Charlie again. Clearly had a lot of fun as he went straight to sleep the minute he got home. Looks forward to seeing you all again soon.”
“Jenny looked after our Cavalier, Freddie, so beautifully. Lots of lovely walks, and cuddles. Jenny really loves and understands dogs and knows how look after them. She followed through on all the feeding and care guidelines we left her and made sure she handed everything back at the end (food, bed etc). Freddie came back well exercised and cared for, and also beautifully groomed, which was an unexpected but very nice bonus!”
“Justin and Silviya stepped in to help with 48 hours of us being let down. I went to meet them and instantly knew Gizmo would be looked after. I dropped him off for his sleepover and took virtually all his belongings with me (mum guilt) and he had an amazing time. I was updated with photos and videos and picked up a very happy little furry boy this morning. I would very highly recommend Justin and Silviya and I’m so pleased they got to see the side of Gizmo that no one else sees. Thank you again! We will be back.”
“Jo was really great, would highly recommend and ask her to look after Carlos again. You can tell she really cared and went the extra mile to make sure he settled in well and got on with her two lovely dogs! This makes it really reassuring when I haven’t left him much before and also loads of pictures to keep me updated!!”
“Just excellent , went out of their way to accommodate Kobe , moved their front room around took him for extra walks and genuinely cared for Kobe. I would recommend these guys above any other dog boarder I have used.Got daily pictures and updates which was great as it was the first time I have left Kobe with anyone. Can’t thank you enough.”

My parents dogs had a 2 night trial with Lynn, they have never stayed anywhere before so we were very anxious about leaving them. We didn’t need to worry, they had a great time. Lynn took great care of them and reassured us with regular updates and pictures. We now feel happy they can be left with Lynn for a week 😊
Robin had a great stay with this lovely couple while we were away. They handled her anxiety and little accidents with great care and patience, and by the second day she was feeling much more relaxed. We really appreciated the regular updates and could see that Robin was in safe, caring hands.
Craig looked after Barney while we were away and we were really pleased with the care he provided. Communication was excellent throughout and we received regular updates, photos and videos which was really reassuring and helped us feel relaxed while we were away. Barney looked very happy and settled, and it was clear he had been well looked after. Thank you, Craig, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and would happily book again in the future.
Benji had a great time with Anthony and he has come back to us a very happy and healthy dog! Benji has obviously been very well looked after during the two weeks of our hols and we enjoyed update s and photos while we were away. We will certainly be very happy for Benji to stay with Anthony and recommend him very highly. Mike & Marie
This was the first time Orla had been away from me following the loss of my wife a year ago. I think i was more worried about her being away than she probably was. Adele was great at putting me and Orla at ease and after sending me pictures of Orla shortly after leaving hervit was clear she was relaxed and contented which was really reassuring for me. Thank you Adele, Orla is already looking forward as am i to the next time. Thank you once again. Tony
Bruno and Brandy had an excellent time with Rosina. Communication from Rosina was excellent from the beginning, she sent us regular pictures, they always looked very happy and gave us the peace of mind that they were safe. Rosina went the extra mile by helping us make sure Brandy always had a tracker on and washing the towels when we picked them up. Would 100% recommend and book again.
Catriona has looked after my Boston Terrier many times, she's absolutely fabulous with him and he clearly enjoys his stays with her. She's attentive and loving towards him, follows any instructions I pass on and sends me regular updates and pictures. Catriona and Ben clearly enjoy spending time with him and treat him like family - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Carina was very good at communicating with me from enquiry to booking. Bear had a successful visit prior to his 5-night stay so both Carina and Bear could meet. Bear can be a nervous dog but he was greeted with such warmth and affection. There were other dogs there and he interacted really well as he can be reactive. He enjoyed his time and I had the assurance that he was doing ok via photos and videos that carina sent during this stay. I would definitely use Carina again.
We had the most wonderful experience with our Yuyao and her partner while leaving Nelly in their care. They were incredibly reliable, accommodating, and genuinely caring from start to finish. We received regular updates and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nelly was not just being looked after, but truly cared for and loved. We couldn’t have asked for better people to trust with our little one - highly, highly recommended! 💛
Ash looked after our 11 year old Border Terrier for a week. Her level of care was second to none. We received daily updates and pictures from the word go. Barney had had surgery earlier in the year and Ash checked all that he was able to do, walked him as to how she felt he was doing etc..amazing. Ash provides the most lovely family environment which was perfect for Barney. Added to everything Ash had already done…we found our flight home was cancelled at the last minute and while away we suddenly needed an extra day of boarding…turned out we didn’t need it but straight away Ash made every effort to help us which was above and beyond. In essence, I highly recommend Ash and I absolutely would not hesitate to use her again to look after Barney. Thank you Ash!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Eastleigh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Eastleigh on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 966 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Eastleigh. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
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 .
