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.
“Megan was brilliant from start to finish, really communicative and I felt completely reassured that Elvis would have a lovely time with her and be very well looked after. Thank you!”
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.
“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!”
“Amazing with my dog Fendi I would highly recommend Jess as a dog sitter, updated me with messages and pictures throughout the day so I knew my dog was happy and settled also made me feel settled knowing Fendi was in a loving place with Jess will definitely be using Jess service again such a loving kind hearted dog sitter 🤍”

About: Myself and my husband Liam offer a safe, loving family home for dogs who enjoy being around people. We have one friendly Jack Russell Terrier and two young children (both under 5), so any dogs staying with us must be comfortable around young children and other small dogs. I've recently been made redundant from work so I am home all week. Your dog will be treated as part of the family. We have a large, fully secure garden for playtime, with beautiful fields and woodland walks nearby, meaning plenty of exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog's needs. We understand that every dog has their own routine, so we'll happily follow your feeding, walking, sleeping and medication schedule to help them feel settled and comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to at home, we want them to feel as relaxed as possible. We'll also keep you updated during their stay with photos and messages if you'd like, so you can see how much fun they're having. We're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet or a walk beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable before booking. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our family while you're away! 🐾 DBS Checked I'm at home for most of the day, only leaving briefly for school runs or the occasional food shop. At weekends we're home all day, and while we have dogs staying with us we don't make other plans. Our focus is on giving them plenty of attention, companionship and exercise. Your dog will enjoy lots of interaction, regular walks, playtime and a relaxed family environment throughout their stay. Your dog's safety and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden where they can play safely, along with nearby fields and woodland walks for daily exercise. We have one friendly Jack Russell Terrier and two young children, so we only accept dogs that are comfortable around both. We'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication and sleeping arrangements, to help them feel at home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to, and if preferred, we're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet or walk before their stay. We'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. To help provide the safest possible environment, I have completed a Dogs Trust course focused on dog safety around children. The training has given me a better understanding of dog body language, safe interactions between dogs and young children, and how to create a positive, stress-free environment for everyone. While all interactions are always supervised, this additional training gives me confidence in helping dogs and children live together safely and happily.
“I left my separation anxiety prone dog Ruby with Eric for 5hours. Eric took control of her right from the start with a warm friendly welcome. Eric took her for a walk and sent a very nice video of her chasing her favourite ball. She then settled down and waited for mum to collect her. Thank you to Eric for looking after Ruby so nicely”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Havant
Emily looked after my Golden Retriever for the day. He was very well cared for, walked and given a huge amount of cuddles and love! I was kept informed of their play date with photos and videos throughout the day, which was lovely. She was a great dog carer and I knew Chester would be safe and happy with her. Will definitely use Emily again.
Absolutely amazing care for my girl poppy from start to finish. I felt completely at ease knowing she was so well looked after, loved, and cared for as if she were their own. Regular updates and such a kind, reassuring approach. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Havant on Rover is £26.45 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,633 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Havant. About 86% of Havant sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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 Havant 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 .
