About: We all love dogs here, and dogs seem to like our relaxed house. We took a large dog that would pull your arm off, treated it like it was our child and it turned into the most loyal friend you could hope for. As myself and my husband work at different times, there is always someone at home to cater to doggie's needs. My husband goes for a walk every evening, and is missing Bruno when he does. We have a large, 30 metres, fenced in garden where dogs are free to play and run and fetch, and poop of course. And they can sleep where they are comfortable.

“Frank had the best time with Marie and Brian. Can’t thank them enough for all the updates throughout the day. They welcomed Frank like their own and he was absolutely exhausted after such a fun day 😁”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have several years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and relatives, especially when they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, walking dogs, playtime, basic grooming and keeping pets company. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands. I work from home 2–3 days a week which gives me good flexibility for weekday drop-in visits and walks. On office days, I’m generally available in the mornings and evenings and I’m also happy to take weekend bookings. I’ll always try to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and playtime routine wherever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any routines, feeding instructions and care requirements you provide and make sure doors, gates and windows are kept secure. During walks, dogs will be kept safely on lead unless you specifically tell me otherwise. I also understand that some animals need more space or time to settle so I’ll always introduce them to a new environment calmly and at their own pace.
About: Hello! I'm Amanda and welcome to my dog-loving home! As a passionate dog owner I know how important it is to find a safe, comfortable, and fun place for your furry friend while you're away. I can offer years of experience and a loving home. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, enjoying: Comfortable Surroundings: Free roam of a spacious downstairs with plenty of comfy spots for naps. Secure Outdoor Space: Access to a fully-fenced, secure garden for playtime and potty breaks throughout the day. Daily Adventures: At least 1 walk per day, exploring lovely local spots. I tailor exercise levels to your dog's needs and energy! Having had Labradors and Pugs I understand the different needs all dogs have. Our family pug I’ve had since a puppy, he’s now 3 and very friendly. I also have an indoor cat who gets on with our dog. I volunteered at the RSPCA so walked many different breeds and temperaments. Lots of Love & Attention: Plenty of cuddles, playtime, and interaction are standard! I’m currently working part time from home so your dog would have company all day long. Access to the garden whenever needed. The home consists of my family of 4, 2 teenagers at college and university who have both grown up with dogs and my husband who also has grown up with dogs. I will be the sole carer for your dog even though they will be spoilt rotten by all. I have a fenced in garden and am at home all day. I can give your dog all of the attention and reassurance it needs whilst settling. I can accommodate a crate or just bedding whatever is necessary.

About: Previously a dog groomer, I'm very confident with young and senior dogs and understand they all have their own quirks and personalities. I work from home 95% of the time and if I'm not here my partner is able to work from home. I have an in tact male French bulldog myself who is super friendly and always looking for new friends. We only house dogs from one household at a time I work from home 95% of the time and have a flexible work pattern. I go for walks with my French bulldog at the best times of the day depending on the weather and time of year. There is normally always someone at home during the week and we spend a lot of time at the weekends out on country walks Fenced garden, big house, pets allowed on the furniture and a french bulldog who is always happy to make some new friends and keep yours company
About: I’ve helped friends with pet care for years. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the garden, or quiet cuddles at home, I’m all about making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and free most weekdays after 2 PM for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or some companionship during the day, I’m happy to help and can adapt to your routine. I keep water bowls full, follow feeding schedules, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise. If I’m hosting pets at my home, I ensure a quiet, calm environment with secure spaces for rest, play, and outdoor time. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, just like family.
About: I’ve taken care of pets from a very young age and have just recently lost my dog unexpectedly. I’m a friendly and reliable pet lover who really cares for dogs!!! I’m currently working full time from home but often like to go for a walk on my lunch break. I work flexi-time so my schedule is very flexible. I have to be in the office 2/3 times a week but I can do this whichever days suits me best. I have a large fenced back garden with lots of great walks around me. I don’t have a very busy lifestyle so lots of time for attention!!

“Pauline is absolutely lovely! She takes great care of our puppy, Mavis, and is very flexible. Pauline’s house and garden are secure and right from our first meeting I’ve had no concerns. Mavis gets excited when I start to pack her bag because she knows she’s going to Paulines’s and is always very happy to see her - that speaks for itself about the care she receives and the fun she has! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pauline.”


About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care. I’ve owned reactive dogs for many years, so I understand the importance of calm handling, patience, routine and being constantly aware of surroundings while out walking. Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols. I will be sole care for the dog during its stay. 5:00am – Quiet early morning walk 6:00am – Breakfast and calm rest time 8:00am – Garden play, enrichment or sniff games 10:00am – Beach walk or quiet countryside hike 12:00pm – Rest and nap time in the home 2:00pm – Toilet break and gentle play 4:00pm – Short afternoon walk or enrichment activities 6:00pm – Dinner time 7:00pm – Family time, cuddles and settling for the evening 9:00pm – Final toilet break and bedtime Our home has a fully enclosed garden and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, perfect for calm daily walks and outdoor time. We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.
“A big thank you for looking after Loki at such short notice. Friendly welcome and Loki made himself at home very quickly. He had two walks which he would have thoroughly enjoyed. Once again, thanks so much for looking after him so well, Steven.”

About: I’ve looked after pets for 23 years, and animals have always been part of my everyday life. I live with Gizmo the pug, my permanent shadow who’s convinced my bed belongs to both of us and two cats who think they run the house. Because of that, I’m used to juggling different temperaments, routines, and a lot of personality. Friends, family, and neighbours have relied on me for walking, feeding, meds, bath time, and keeping their pets calm and comfortable. I notice the small things, keep a steady routine, and treat every dog as if they’re part of my own slightly chaotic, very loved little crew. I’m currently a SAHDM (if you know you know). I was made redundant in November so for the foreseeable my life is solely pet focussed I keep things steady, predictable, and low-stress. In my home, pets settle into a calm routine with regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of company. I have a large, secure garden for safe outdoor time, and Gizmo the pug usually acts as the welcoming committee. I manage introductions carefully so every animal feels comfortable. I supervise closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure each pet has its own quiet area to relax.
“Our little whippet can be a bit fussy, but she has taken to Caroline very quickly and has made her house a little ‘home from home’. Caroline is a natural with dogs and highly recommended by us!”

“Ace enjoyed another day yesterday with Mea & John & family, he had fun in their garden with their dogs! Rebooked for our hols in may & Aug because we know Ace is very happy with Mea & John!”

“John was great with our nervous boy. He won him round with treats and understood he needed to give him time to get used to him. By the time I picked him up he had made himself very much at home. I’d have no hesitation leaving Joey with John again and we have booked him for 10 days boarding at the end of the month.”


About: I’ve loved animals all my life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets of all ages and personalities. I grew up with pets and understand they’re part of the family. One of my most rewarding experiences was caring for my senior cat, who lived to 19, which gave me valuable experience looking after older pets. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs, as well as cats and small animals, and I’m happy to follow any routines or care requirements. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to know more or discuss rates. Thanks I’m in the office three days a week, so I’m fully available all day on my two home days for sitting, visits, care, and walks. I also offer weekend drop‑ins and dog walks, which makes scheduling flexible for anyone who needs extra help outside the weekday routine. If you need specific times, I’m happy to work around what suits you and your pets best.

“Dotty enjoyed her first stay with Sandy and the boys. Due to a dotty being quite a nervous dog a home from home environment is much better suited for her. Sandy was fantastic with her and put us and Dotty at ease, keeping us updated during the day with photos and videos. Thank you so much!!!! ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Fareham on Rover is £23 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,052 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Fareham. About 88% of Fareham sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 Fareham 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 .
