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.

Amanda was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She provided lovely early and late walks, as well as plenty of garden space for him to enjoy. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, warm and welcoming, and I immediately felt that my dog was in safe and caring hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes their wellbeing seriously. I would highly recommend Amanda and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

About: We are a married friendly couple based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. We love to explore new places and have pets as company. As we love to travel, we understand the stress of leaving our sweet angels behind, and you just want them to be as comfortable as possible and receive much love whilst you come back. Either me or my wife, or both will be taking care of your beautiful doggy. Although "young", we are very a responsible couple and will treat your pets just as ours ❤️ We both had our bulldog Khloe for 10 years, which is a very sensitive breed. We tought her how to potty train, a few commands. We also took care of her health, medication, water intake, meals, etc everything you do for a pet! My wife also pet and house sit houses in México before starting University and I've sat the cats of my parents around 10 times a year. They follow a strict diet and schedule and it is a pleasure to see them everytime. We both work from home Monday to Friday 9-5 and so there can always be someone to be with your pet. We are used to walking early in the morning, at lunch time and also in the evening and so can meet the needs of your pet. We have a large fenced garden which will allow your pet to explore should they so wish. We can also offer beds in each room and a variety of toys. We are also happy to provide meals and approved snacks and make sure they are hydrated during the day. Please be assured we will make your pet feel at home.

Megan is an absolute star! She recently looked after our active Cocker Spaniel for the first time, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention she gave him. She provided regular walks, found creative ways to keep him mentally stimulated, and gave him a safe, welcoming environment where he was clearly happy and well cared for. Megan also sent us daily updates, which were lovely to receive and gave us real peace of mind that he was settled, content, and enjoying his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Megan’s dog-sitting services. We’ve already booked her again, which says it all! Thank you, Megan.

Richard took great care of Rufio while we were abroad for a week. Really appreciated the time spent for the initial meet and greet to make sure he understood Rufio and that Freddie and Rufio had chance to meet, alongside his willingness to support an overnight 'test run' before we were away to make sure there were no problems. Daily updates with photos were perfect for keeping us informed and gave us peace of mind.

About: Wagworth's Dog Care: I am dog mad, having loved them since I was little. I specialise in looking after puppies and elderly dogs who often need a bit more care and attention, and treating them like one of my family. I have owned several dogs myself and I currently have 2 very friendly dogs - a 4 year old Border Terrier / Poodle mix, Bertie, and a 1 year old Jack Russel Terrier, Bailey. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to meeting yours! I work from home so can accommodate walks and dog sitting flexibly. I spend most of my weekends with my dogs out on long walks along the coast or on the Downs. I have a fenced garden and my own dogs to keep yours company. I have a car and it is a short distance from my house to great walks along the beach or in fields.

About: What sets me apart as a pet carer is the lifelong experience I have with animals — not just as a sitter, but as someone who has shared their home and heart with pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs almost all my life, from early childhood through adulthood, including providing a loving home for rescue dogs in need of patience and care, and a wonderfully spoiled Pekingese who knew he ruled the house! Alongside my canine companions, I’ve also cared for over 10 cats — each with their own personality, from shy and independent to playful and attention-seeking. Looking after pets, for me, goes beyond feeding and walking. It’s about building trust and understanding their unique needs — whether that’s keeping a nervous rescue dog calm with gentle routines, giving senior pets the extra comfort and care they deserve, or entertaining an energetic kitten with playtime. I’m experienced in administering medication, maintaining balanced diets, and ensuring pets get the right amount of exercise, all while showering them with love and attention. What truly sets me apart is the personal touch I bring — treating every pet as if they were my own, always ensuring they feel safe, happy, and at home. I’d be delighted to care for your furry family members and give them the love they deserve. Let me know if you'd like to chat further! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home with full flexibility, allowing me to structure my day around the needs of the pets I look after. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or regular walks, I’m always present and able to give them the attention they deserve. Living right next to the beach is a huge bonus — it means I can offer a variety of walks, whether it’s a short, playful stroll along the shore or a longer, more adventurous walk to burn off some extra energy. The fresh air, open space, and ever-changing seaside environment create a perfect setting for happy, active pets. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can easily adapt to their routines — from calming company for pets who prefer a relaxed pace, to interactive play for those who love staying active. Their comfort and well-being are always my priority! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease, treating them as part of the family. My home is spacious, giving pets plenty of room to roam, play, or find a cozy spot to rest — with no restrictions on where they can sleep or relax. Whether they prefer curling up on the sofa, stretching out in a sunny corner, or having a quiet space of their own, I make sure they feel safe and settled. Being just a short walk from the beach and a nearby playground means there’s always an opportunity for fun, whether it’s a brisk morning walk along the shore, a playful run, or a gentle evening stroll. For pets who love a bit of nature, there’s also an allotment space just minutes away, perfect for a sniff-filled adventure. I’m respectful of the home, keeping everything tidy and making sure the pet is happy, well-fed, and entertained. No matter the setting, my goal is always to create a loving, stress-free environment tailored to each pet's needs.

Holly and jasper took really good care of our dog. Sent loads of pictures of him enjoying his little holiday, which was really nice and unexpected. They are really friendly personable people and I felt very comfortable leaving my lovely dog with them. Sometimes Rufus can be a bit over excited and jumpy and this was no problem for them, which was a relief. I would highly recommend them, they also had a lovely big garden for him to play in. And let him sit on the sofa!!

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.

Our lovely boy clearly had a great time with Rozhan, with lots of walks out and about. Judging by all the photos and messages we received while we were away he was clearly happy, well cared for and a little bit spoilt! Would be more than happy for him to stay with Rozhan again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Havant

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Havant on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,550 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Havant. 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 .
