“My dog was very happy in the care of Murali and the family. They were very accommodating, kind and caring and kept me updated throughout the day. I am forever grateful for taking such good care of the pooch and will definitely be returning.”

“Marielle provided exceptional care for our Border Terrier Winnie. Her website clearly shows the facilities and excellent fenced garden. She responded very quickly to our enquiry and was very calm and friendly. Highly recommended by Winnie!”

About: Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I already walk Percy every morning and again in the late afternoon. We often go to the field, riverside park, or Itchen Valley for longer walks. I also hold an Enhanced DBS check, giving owners extra peace of mind that their pets are in safe and trustworthy hands. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day. Percy is walked at least twice a day, and we have a secure, decent-sized fenced garden for playtime. Dogs are welcome to relax indoors with us or enjoy some quiet time in Percy’s annex, depending on what they’re most comfortable with. Every dog is different, so I tailor their routine to suit their personality and social needs. Pets in my home are treated like family. I have a secure fenced garden and a friendly, house-trained cocker spaniel, Percy. I can provide two daily walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, while following your pet’s routine and caring for them as our own.
About: I love being outdoors and active, making me an ideal dogwalker. Though I have no dogs of my own, I love being around them and have provided ad hoc care services to friends and family when needed. I’m a freelance social media manager, making my working life flexible and freeing me to care for animals as well. Working remotely or in a coffee shop (dog friendly, of course!) means I have time and space free for boarding All cables and objects harmful to dogs are kept in containers off the ground and the house is kept generally tidy, avoiding the risk of choking hazards. I have a calm and quiet living space, making it ideal for all pets, especially those of a more timid or anxious nature
“Shadia looked after my dog, Ivy, for the day. Despite this being a last minute request from me the day before, Shadia was extremely accommodating and friendly. Shadia knows her stuff with dogs and I quickly felt confident to leave Ivy with her. Ivy had a great time! I strongly recommend her to anyone :) thanks Shadia!”


“Carmen and her lovely family have taken such lovely care of our puppy! We loved the photo updates! Hector always comes home relaxed and his usual happy cuddly self! Hector can't wait for his next visit :-)”
About: I have grown up with many animals including dogs and I feel they are part of our family. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I understand their phycology and love training them. I have cared for my families and my friends dogs of all sizes, from staffies, french bull dogs to giant schnauzers. My dog Bertie is very well behaved, calm and relaxed though he has a lot of energy and loves his outdoor adventures. He is very happy sharing his home for stop overs and day play mates. I am retired from working within the NHS and love being a home body. Thereby I am able to offer an excellent service in providing a loving, caring and safe home from home experience for your dog. I have a safe enclosed rear garden with a massive open space right next door which is a great safe area to run and play in. My home life is relaxed and peaceful, providing a calm, safe place for your dog to stay. I'm blessed to live in an area of natural beauty with plenty of lovely woodland walks right on my door step.
“Qi and her husband have been wonderful with my dog Stanley, very gentle and loving. They have taken him for walks, and he felt safe, I also have had a peace of mind when I worked.”

“Brilliant communication from Anthony to help us arrange a last minute day care for us. Del came home happy, tired and well cared for. Great to have the detail of what he'd been up to and photos. Thank you! Would use again.”

About: I have been a dog owner since childhood, some 40+ years. Dogs of all shapes and sizes. Ranging from a Jack Russell to a Great Dane. Having lost our Ellie some months ago, I have a huge hole to fill. Knowing how hard it is to find sitters that can give them the love and attention they need while their mummy's and daddy's are away. I can offer a loving, comfortable home where they will be the centre of attention with lots of cuddles on the sofa, playtime and walks. I have just given up my job to make dog sitting my main priority. So they will have company the whole time they are with us. I have a fully fenced medium size garden. They will have access to the whole downstairs during the day. And may sleep upstairs at night if they prefer. Lots of parks nearby for walks.
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.
About: Hi my name is Kate - I offer dog walking and drop in visits to look after your pets, as well as house sitting. I have been on Rover for a while now and have a handful of lovely repeat clients. I’m currently taking on new clients for one-offs and repeats where our schedules align. I have several years experience dog walking and caring for my own dogs and cats. Please get in contact if you're looking for a trusted pet carer! 😻 During the week, my schedule is often fairly flexible. Please do get in contact to discuss availability or any schedule requirements that your pet has. Please let me know if there are any places out of bounds for your pets in your home - I am happy to keep wandering paws away.
“Jiani was a great host for my Chihuahua Apollo. She was really welcoming and sent regular updates and pictures of him having fun with her little dog. I would definitely recommend her and it allowed myself and family to enjoy our time in the area without having to worry about him. Thanks so much”

“Lovely couple and took very good care of Rosie. Very clearly dog lovers. Settled in very well and their own was very cute and friendly. Thank you very much, we’ll be back. Kind Regards Chris”

About: Ive looked after Friends and familys dogs im a full time dad and have lot of spare time and enjoy going for dog walks as im home all the time I’m a proud single dad to two wonderful girls and a loving Staffie cross, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been a true dog lover and understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe, caring hands. We love spending time outdoors, with regular walks through the local woods, along the river, and exploring the trees and countryside. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or a more relaxed stroll, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I offer a genuine home-from-home experience, where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I’ll follow their usual daily routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of cuddles and companionship, helping them feel comfortable, happy, and settled while you’re away. I have a fenced back garden but like to take the dogs for regualar walks and can be crated if you choose too i try to offer a home to home expierience
“Craig was really understanding of my very nervous dog, who has obviously been mistreated in the past. She was unwilling to respond to him although he was very calm. Even so he tried really hard and it is quite obvious that he is a dog lover - if Gracie gets over her fears I would be happy to leave her with Craig again.”

Minni had a lovely time with Caroline, she is an excellent dog sitter and clearly loves dogs. She treats any pets as if they were her own, our Border Terrier was very relaxed and well cared for while with Caroline, we would not hesitate in leaving her again. Thank you Caroline ❤

I cannot recommend Murali and his wife enough, Mia is an absolute calming superstar (with the young and boisterous) and their home is dog heaven! Pandora obviously enjoyed every moment from the gorgeous photos and videos. Thank you for putting my mind at rest (I was a nervous wreck!!), P will absolutely return 😊

My black lab was very relaxed when I picked him up❤️. Martin met us a few days before the booking to get to know us, and was very happy to look after Stanley 😊. They went for a long walk and watched football together 😉. I'm really happy with Martin's approach and care😊.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Eastleigh on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 976 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Eastleigh. About 87% of Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh 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 .
