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.
“Brandel is absolutely fabulous. I had to find a dog sitter as we git let down 6 days before we were due to go on holiday. I messaged Brandel at about 8pm BH Monday & I had a reply back confirming that she could accommodate Zayla for 10 nights, she even suggested a meet and greet the next day after my husband & I finished work. Once we met her we were immediately put at ease & felt happy to leave Zayla in her care. I would recommend Brandel to anyone who is unsure of using a dog sitter. I for one will definitely be booking her again to look after Zayla when we go away next year 🥰🥰🥰”
“Harley, our 11 yr old dog, enjoyed a 4 night stay recently. Recieved photos of him making himself at home and on walks during his stay so reassured that all was well. Had free access to house and garden and was allowed to take himself off for a bit of r and r if he wanted a break from others. Woud be very happy for Harley to stay again”
About: As a couple we both have years of experience with dogs, both in and outside of our own home. Holly has been a professional dog walker, handling up to 6 dogs a time of all varied sizes and breeds. Jasper has also joined Holly on these ventures from time to time outside of his full-time working from home role. We have experience having dogs for day-care and boarding over the past few years and love having that extra company in our home. We own our 6 year old show cocker spaniel Roscoe who loves some company from other dogs as he can play with them and show them some exciting walks in the local area. We live in a ground floor flat with a huge garden - it's a doggys paradise in there! We even have a paddling pool for them to swim in during the summer. We treat dogs like a part of the family and make sure they're always fussed with lots of cuddles, treats and playtime. We're not precious about where they decide to sit but our only rule is no dogs in the bed at night-time (Roscoe might get a bit jealous). We look forward to looking after your four-legged best friend. Holly works from home as a freelance Interior Designer and an active part-time dog walker. Jasper works from home full-time. There will always be someone home to look after your pet and give them attention. We have a fully fenced huge garden and no back-access gate, so fully secure at all times. We have our 6 year old cocker spaniel Roscoe to keep them company and show them the ropes. We are happy to have your dog crated if this is a preference and can provide the crates too.
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: As a dog owner and previous cat owner myself, I know our pets are family to us. I would treat yours like my own. I'm in my 50s so have decades of experience with pets, including training. I work from home and have a large garden near Staunton country park and lots of green areas. I would need to meet you and your furry friend before taking the booking so you can inform me on your routine and requirements. I would only take one booking at a time so your pet gets 100% of my attention. I work full time from home and take the weekends off. I am self employed so I am flexible with timings for walks, feeding, toilet breaks, etc. I have a large enclosed garden that is bricked fence and safe. My Cocker Spaniel lives with me. He is very friendly, follows me or sits under my desk. I feed him twice a day and walk regularly. It would be helpful if your dog is dog friendly although I can possibly get a sitter for my dog if yours isn't.
“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.”
“A lovely, warming and caring family who made us at ease from the first contact. Lots of photos and regular updates on our pooch. So very glad to have had our Charlie stay with Yana and her family.”
“My dog was well looked after, happy, and clearly comfortable during his stay. Great communication and lots of care shown throughout. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jess was kind enough to have Hendrix round for a meet and greet prior to our booking which is really helpful for Hendrix to become familiar with the surroundings. I could see that Hendrix was going to be very happy staying with Jess. Hendrix was overnight with Jess for one night, whilst there Jess reassured me that he was doing well and settled in with updates and pictures which was so great to receive! I will gladly book with Jess again in the future! Thank you for a great experience Jess!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs all my life, from walking to day caring since I was around 12 years old for family and friends I’m a full time support worker for a care home, but my working days can change and I do have some flexibility to work around your pets needs Unfortunately we do live in a high floor flat without a balcony but it’s a large flat so plenty of playing and zoomies time and space, we also have a 11 month old male jackapoo who’s full of energy so we’re always out on walks

Richard has been an amazing dog sitter for our dog Max. He sent lots of lovely photos to us and was so accommodating with a meet up beforehand. He took such great care of our dog, who came home very happy and super chilled. Would highly recommend Richard to anyone in the waterlooville and surrounding area.
A great sitter from the very first contact. Charlie loved his time and was made to feel at home as soon as he stepped foot in the door. We had regular updates with photos and videos which put us at ease and gave increased confidence our boy was being looked after. Looking forward to the next stay with you.
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. Thank you for taking great care of him x
We left Winston with Samuel and his lovely family for 3 days whilst we travelled across the country. We are overwhelmed with the kind loving home from home provided for Winston whilst we were away. He was amazingly looked after, Had walkies, cuddles and we received lots of beautiful pictures of Winnie living his best life 😂 100% 5⭐'s from a very happy doggy dad.
I immediately felt comfortable leaving Coop with Jade and her family. Her home is warm and welcoming with ample space for a pet to visit. She took him for walks and gave me just the right number of updates to let me know he as safe and happy. Highly recommend and would rebook in a heartbeat. .
Richard was absolutely amazing with Woody (my dog) we cannot thank him enough, made us feel instantly comfortable as we was reassured that Woody would be absolutely fine and he was. We got photos and videos sent daily which was really lovely as we got to see how he was doing, we also got daily updates of what he was doing. Again thank you so much for looking after our boy he absolutely loved staying with you and he can’t wait for another adventure with you soon! 100% would recommend Richard ☺️
Jo was great looking after Cleo for a few days. Good in communication beforehand and sending messages and pictures while she looked after her. Cleo seemed very happy to spend a few days at Jo's house where she got lots of attention and walks. I'd definitely recommend her.

FAQs for Boarding - Havant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Havant on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,540 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 .
