Dog Boarding Gosport

About: Having grown up with dogs all my life, and 40 years of owning my own dogs, I can offer your dog a safe, caring and loving holiday. I have 2 Cocker Spaniels and have experience in training and breeding. I have recently retired from 40 years of being a staff nurse and now have the time to devote to caring for doggies. I have recently retired from 40 years as a nurse, so have lots of free time to walk, play and cuddle the dogs. I can offer long or short walks and am always down on Stokes Bay for walks with my dogs, come rain or shine. I have a fully enclosed fenced garden, With 2 Cocker Spaniels of my own. "Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, secure, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and play. I make sure all hazardous items, foods, and small objects are kept safely out of reach, and dogs are always supervised during play and feeding times.l only accept a limited number of dogs at once so each pet gets individual attention and care. Walks are always done on-lead unless agreed otherwise and I follow each owner's instructions carefully regarding routines, diet, and medications. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Bernie had a great time with Michelle! She sent plenty of pics and kept us updated on how he was getting on. I have no doubt we will be sending Bernie back to her in the future, definitely recommend.”

About: I am fully insured and have been caring for dogs for more than 15 years, loving every minute of it. Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent many years looking after my own dogs and understand how important it is to keep them happy, safe and comfortable. I currently have two friendly dogs who are a big part of my family. Archie is 3 years old, and Lottie is the newest member of our family at just 1 year and 2 months old. They are both spayed and extremely friendly with other dogs. If your dog enjoys company, they’ll have two lovely playmates to spend the day with, whether that’s playing in the garden, going for walks, or simply relaxing together. Looking after Archie and Lottie has given me daily experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I’ll always follow your instructions to help them feel at home. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can see how they’re getting on and enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving and happy home where your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection and care until you’re back together. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. During your dog’s stay, I’ll be at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. My own dogs are my priority every day, and I plan my routine around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the exercise they need. Living close to the beach and several lovely parks means I can take the dogs on enjoyable walks in different places, depending on their needs and your preferences. Because Archie and Lottie already have a regular routine, it’s easy to welcome another dog into our day. If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs, they’ll have two friendly playmates to spend the day with. There will be plenty of time for play, cuddles, rest and companionship, so they always feel loved and cared for. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can see how they’re getting on and have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first. Before every stay, I’ll ask about their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, any medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I’m also happy to arrange a meet and greet before booking. This gives you and your dog the chance to visit my home, meet me, Archie and Lottie, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before the stay. My home is clean, safe and dog friendly, and I always supervise dogs while they’re together to make sure everyone is happy and getting along. Archie and Lottie are both very friendly and enjoy meeting other dogs, but I’ll always introduce them calmly and at their own pace. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks and any special instructions. Dogs will always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, plenty of love and attention, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. I’ll also send regular photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Best people to have doggy. So friendly and great with our pug. Will definitely be recommending and using again. 5 star service and 5 star people.”

About: My husband and I are huge animal lovers, and caring for pets is something we genuinely enjoy. We recently lost our beloved dog, Maya, who was part of our family for 17 years, so we understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. We’re quite experienced at looking after both dogs and cats and always treat them as if they were our own. As I currently have plenty of time at home, your dog will enjoy at least two walks a day, lots of playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. We always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed. We also have a secure, fenced green garden where dogs can safely play and enjoy fresh air. Our home is spacious, with a large living room that gives plenty of room for relaxing, stretching out, and feeling comfortable indoors. You’ll always be able to reach me, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I also hold an enhanced DBS check for additional reassurance. We’d love to welcome your pet into our home and give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’m normally a teacher, but I’m currently on my school holiday, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m home most of the day, which means your pet will receive lots of attention, company, and regular care rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily adapt to their usual routine, whether that’s walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, I always take the time to learn about their usual routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favourite toys, and any special requirements so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm, and secure environment with plenty of attention and companionship. We also have a secure garden where dogs can enjoy time outside under supervision. I carefully make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always put their safety and wellbeing first.

“Oliwia Was excellent. She offered to meet up before hand. Was courteous& clear communication. Shared photos throughout the weekend. Max was clearly well looked after. Lots of walks, playtimes and swimming in the sea which he loves. Recommend Oliwia.”

About: Hi, I’m a retired dog lover living with my husband and our own friendly dog. As I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone and will be part of a calm, loving home. We’ve had dogs since 2006, and I volunteered as a dog walker for the RSPCA, so I’m confident with many breeds, reading body language, and supporting anxious dogs, including those with separation worries. We live close to the beach, and your dog will enjoy regular walks, often twice a day, plus time in our secure enclosed garden. Walks can be on or off lead, depending on your dog’s recall and your wishes. I offer a caring, structured environment with plenty of attention and affection. Dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture, to help maintain consistency in our home. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I only accept neutered males and spayed females, and every booking starts with a meet and greet, to make sure we are the right fit. My aim is to provide a genuine home from home, where you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for. I’m at home full-time, so daycare and dog sitting fit easily into my everyday routine. With my own dog, I’m already out on regular walks often along the beach, and I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine. It means your dog gets attention throughout the day in a calm, consistent setting. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I offer a calm home environment with a secure garden, constant supervision, and a consistent routine. I generally only take one dog at a time. If you have two dogs that live together and need care, this can be discussed. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, with careful assessment before any off-lead time. Every stay starts with a meet and greet, to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed.

“Billy and Molly were well looked after by Clare for their one night stay. They had all the comforts of home and enjoyed a lovely walk during the day. Clare sent photos and updates during their stay. They are having a longer stay later in the year and I will be more than happy to leave them anytime with Clare.”

“Excellent service from start to finish. Rumble loved his stay and didn’t want to leave. I received regular updates on how he was doing. Thankyou! 100% will be rebooking!”

david m.

“Bertie had a fantastic 2 nights with Sofia and her mum. He was really treated as one of the family and I was sent regular updates and photos. I had no worries about him and I'm sure he can't wait to go back to his second family!”

Jessica W.

“Cecil had a lovely time and we were updated with photos which showed him making himself right at home! He was very well looked after and we will definitely use Angela and Murray again to look after our precious pup!”

“Claire and her family are wonderful! Jeffrey was cared for as if he were there own. We received regular updates and saw that Jeffrey was happy throughout. Jeffrey was slightly unwell during the first few days which was unusual for him and quite worrying, however Claire kept us assured and we felt comfortable knowing he was being cared for so well. Would highly recommend Claire.”

“Both of my dogs love staying with Elspeth, and she treats them incredibly well. Always great with her communication, kind and caring with the dogs, she is also great at giving us ideas and tips that help us continue to training our puppy. We can’t ask for better and would highly recommend Elspeth.”

Hannah M.

“Courtney and her family were amazing. Winston had a great couple of days with them. She gave regular updates and shared photos. I’m sure Winston would love to go back again”

Daryl G.

“Michaela and her family cared for our dog pumba for 7 days whilst we were on holiday. He was very well cared for, walked lots and played with. Michaela updated me daily with lots of pictures and anything I needed to know about. I would use Michaela again and recommend her!”

Katie h.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my senior dog with Christos and Kyriacos. They are polite, responsible, and genuinely caring. I was regularly updated and sent plenty of photos of my dog enjoying his stay. They quickly won my dog over, who is picky about who he trusts, showing they made a real effort to connect with him. I could even tell he missed them when he returned home. I will definitely be reaching out to Christos and Kyriacos when I next need a sitter and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet sitting and peace of mind.”

About: My partner and I have experience looking after both small and medium-sized dogs. I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From a young age, I learned the responsibility that comes with owning a pet and making sure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. We’ve cared for our friends’ dogs on several occasions, from a few days to a few weeks while they were away or needed an extra helping hand. We made sure they were fed on schedule, taken for at least two walks a day, had plenty of playtime, and received lots of love and attention. We understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so we’ll always follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. We’ll care for your dog just as we would our own. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available most weekdays outside of work, as well as evenings and weekends. I know how important it is to find someone reliable, so I’ll always do my best to fit around your schedule and keep you updated while you’re away. My husband and I live in a cosy, pet-friendly flat where your pet will be treated like part of the family. We looked after our own cat for many years, and we’ve also cared for our friends’ and family’s pets whenever they needed a helping hand. Our home is clean, safe, and free from anything that could be dangerous for pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with us.

“Leaving a dog with someone new is always a bit nerve-wracking, but Pauline was absolutely wonderful with Benny. We were able to meet her beforehand, which immediately put our minds at ease; we felt very happy leaving him in her capable hands. ​We were worried Benny might struggle to settle, so Pauline sent us daily updates and photos. It was a lovely touch that allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away, knowing he was doing well. ​Pauline is friendly, professional, and clearly has a great way with dogs. We would gladly ask her to look after Benny again and highly recommend her services.”
