“Emily has looked after our golden retriever puppy a few times and she has been great. Always on time, providing photo updates, and our puppy seems to love the time spent with her. He's always excited to see her and comes home calm”
“Thank you Ho Mei and your mum! Jess had a fantastic time and fell asleep almost immediately in the car! It was lovely to meet you both and I could feel your warmth towards Jess. I will definitely be booking with you again when we next need day care for Jess 🥰”
“Oliwia was absolutely amazing with Cleo. She was so thoughtful and caring and organised an early walk for Cleo due to the hot weather. Oliwia was also fantastic at communicating and sent me updates and lovely pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend Oliwia.”
“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.”
“I re booked Shiyi to care for storm, Storm absolutely loves staying there and Shiyi has such an amazing care for animals and sent regular updates of storms time with her with great walks and lots of attention and cuddles we will definitely be booking again and highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter thank you Shiyi”
“Dogs were very happy after a full day with Pauline. it was a perfect way top ensure the dogs were looked after whilst we were doing sight seeing at 'non dog friendly' sights and gave them a rest after visiting many of hampshires sights. Apologies to Pauline if they got a bit excited and pulled too much, for little cavaliers, when they want, they seem to have a lot of strength.”
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have grown up around pets, especially dogs. I have my own dog back home, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, helping friends, family, and neighbours with walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with their dogs. I also have a twin brother that loves dogs as much as I do, so your dog will always have someone giving them attention and keeping them busy. We have also volunteered at a dog shelter, where we helped care for dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. I’m currently studying at university, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy alongside my studies. I’m patient, calm, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if it were my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Your dog will have the best time with us and will feel like home around us, in a safe, cozy environment. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m currently studying at university, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day and evenings. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, going on walks, playing, and keeping pets company. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and stick to the pet’s usual routine. I keep a clean, calm, and safe environment and make sure pets are always supervised, especially during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with kindness and patience, making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for. My brother and I can make sure every pet feels like home!
“Thank you for taking good care of Toto. He looked happy at the end of his visit. I find it hard to leave him with people he doesnt know, as I worry that he might wonder what is going on, but seeing him after his stay has given me more assurance that he will be fine.”
“River and Scout were so happy with Coral and Jordan, they spent two days with them and were so excited to be back the next day. Coral and Jordan sent us loads of photos and the dogs had plenty of cuddles and play time. Would 100% recommend 💛 Thank you so much for looking after our babies!”
“Elspeth took Bracken out with two other dogs for a nice long walk and it’s really nice he got the activity/socialisation. Plenty of photos, which was good. He was anxious (he’s not used to being away from home) once back at her place but she used calming sorry and diffusers, which was really good of her.”
“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!!!! ?”
“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!”
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.
“Penny was a dream, when we needed support for George at very short notice.Penny made a very stressful situation much easier by being so easy and quick to communicate with. George has absolutely loved his day care with Penny , and had so many new socialisation experiences like walking on a retractable lead, walking with a dog buddy, playing with her children. He came home very happy and tired , and he seems so much calmer and confident in himself. We couldn't recommend Penny enough.”
“Basil had a great time in Teodora’s care, we got regular updates and adorable photos. We ended up booking the following day as well! Basil was so tired when he came back after the lots of walks and playing fetch. 100% recommended her again!”
“So happy with Emma, our first time using this service and she was friendly, welcoming and generally lovely! I felt no issues leaving Arlo with her and he had a great time so thank you so much Emma! X”
“Really happy with Maria, she was welcoming and friendly. Arlo had a great time with her and her two doggies, I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her, definitely would recommend.”

Thanks ever so much Caroline. The more Jazmin comes to you, the better she is becoming, socially. You’re giving us a real sense of freedom that we have not had in our lives for around 2 & a half years, since we’ve had Jazmin. This jas improved the quality of our lives markedly, and it wouldn’t have been any where near as effective or as positive if we weren’t so confident in you and your skills - you are definitely a natural dog person with an instinctive knowledge of what to do with the best interests of the dog in question.
Chloe was amazing! My dog is experiencing some separation anxiety after losing his brother recently so needed some company whilst I work. Chloe was very accommodating and Benny took to her instantly which is obviously the highest showcase of her lovely nature. Ben is looking forward to seeing Chloe again😊

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.
Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.
If you found a day care close to your home in Gosport, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.
Day care on Rover takes place in the sitter’s home rather than at a commercial day care facility. At a sitter’s home, your dog’s care is arranged directly with an individual sitter. Depending on the sitter, the day may include walks, play, companionship, rest and care based on the routine you agree on together.
Day care facilities generally care for dogs in a commercial space. Their staffing, dog-grouping practices and available spaces will vary by facility.
Neither option is better than the other. Your dog’s unique needs will determine whether they thrive in a home or facility-based setting.
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 .
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
