“Monica has been an absolute superstar, she’s taken amazing care of our little puppy who has come home completely exhausted after a fun filled stay. We were sent load of pics and videos of Winnie and monica made the whole experience so easy, it’s the first time we’ve left her and we were able to relax knowing that our pup was having a super fun time too! Thanks Monica, we will be seeing you again soon! X”
“What a brilliant experience we had with Eleanor and Raymond. This was the first time we have left our very high energy, crazy Labrador over night and he absolutely loved it. Both Eleanor and Raymond were so good with him. They took time to understand his needs and make it the most positive experience. Nothing seemed to faze them and it's very easy to see how much they love having dogs around. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them and Rosso is looking forward to more adventures with them.”
“Lynn has looked after Wilbur a few times now. She has always been very accommodating and I'm not sure he even wanted to leave this time! Wilbur is very anxious and takes a while to settle so it's a big relief knowing he is well looked after.”
“Our Lab had a wonderful time with Shadia! Very well looked after & Shadia kept us up to date during the stay with photos & comments which was much appreciated. Would be more than happy to recommend & will be using 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!
“Ellie is so lovely and an amazing dog sitter — caring, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was so happy and well looked after, and the updates gave us real peace of mind. Would highly recommend!”
“Sophie kept us updated throughout our pups stay with her. Lots of beautiful pictures and reassurance that they were absolutely fine and in excellent hands. When we picked the girls up you could instantly tell how much they had warmed to her, so much so that Dottie laid on her back for more belly rubs from Sophie rather than us 😂. Their family dog Theo is so friendly and welcoming to new doggies in his house and it’s lovely that when we go away now, not only do our dogs have human company, they also have another 4 legged friend to play with! Will definitely be using Sophie for all our future boardings and would recommend people to do the same.”
About: My partner Jacob and I have both had dogs all our lives. We have had Staffies, boxers, spaniels, cross breeds. You name it! We love dogs. We also love and really advocate for dog training knowledge. We are very safe and responsible dog owners and know a lot about dog body language and behaviour. We will always make sure our day revolves around the dogs! They’ll get plenty of exercise, but we love to play with the dogs too - if they want it! Whether that’s a game of chase, tug, or find it. We love to mentally stimulate dogs as it’s so good for their brain. We love a game of hide and seek. Me and my partner work full time but both have the luxury to work from home. I do 2 days a week and my partner can work from home whenever. My work is very flexible and I live a 10 minute walk (1 minute drive) from my office so can attend to the dogs whenever. I am out in the morning for my exercise and my partner does his in the evening, so one of us is always home with the dog! We love to get out steps in before work and after too, so we always get out with the dogs. We have concrete fenced garden with a secure gate. We have doors inside the house that if we open the front door, we ensure the dogs are kept behind a closed door so they cannot get out. We make sure the dogs have everything they need and easy access. We are very tidy and don’t leave mess around or anything for dogs to chew on etc.
“Kellie and family was fantastic with Otis and looked after him so well while we were away. He got on brilliantly with Millie, and it was lovely knowing he had a friend to play with. We really appreciated the updates and the excellent care. Thank you so much, Kellie - we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again!”
“Victoria is a fantastic dog sitter. Our springer spaniel, Taffy, is full of beans but very sweet. And Victoria made sure she got plenty of walks and loads of affection. She also posted some beautiful pics of Taffy exploring the Hampshire countryside and relaxing at home, which we found very reassuring as we were traveling far from our beloved pooch. Highly recommended!”
About: I currently have two chihuahuas of my own so I know how to look after small breeds and understand their needs. I have previously had Spaniels, Labradors and mixed breed dogs, so I am well versed in caring for all dogs. I am looking to go part time in the future, but I currently work shifts so can be flexible particularly around other shift workers. Just ask and I can check my availability. I love all animals, and any pet coming into our home will be treated and cared for as if they were my own. There are no children in the house so pets will be the primary focus. If I am in your home, I will look after your pet as per your wishes and make them feel comfortable.
“This is the second time Khaya has stayed with Louise now and I can honestly say from the daily photos and reassuring updates I would highly recommend her . The fact that Khaya didn’t really want to come home says it all . A first class sitter x”
“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.”
“I was anxious about leaving my two dogs with Carmen for the weekend, but she offered to keep me updated by phone. On the Sunday morning she texted me to see if she could take the dogs to the beach - how great is that? A run and a swim on a boiling hot day, perfect! I am happy that they are booked in for Christmas as I know they will be well looked after. Thanks.”
“Shelley looked after our 2 year old golden retriever overnight, this was his first time staying somewhere that wasn’t with a friend or family. Shelley made us feel so at ease about leaving him, sent frequent photo updates and reassured us that he was well looked after and settled. We are so glad we booked with Shelley and Milo is already looking forward to his next stay! Thanks you xxx”
“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.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Eastleigh is £35

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! 💛

FAQs for Boarding - Eastleigh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Eastleigh on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 980 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 .
