About: I've had dogs since I was 14. We had a out first dog, a westie called Bonnie who came on all of our camping trips and Sunday hikes. We gave her as much love and attention as we could throughout her life. Since then we have has different breeds of dogs within our family and have learnt so much about them overs the years, including basic training and learning their personality traits. I have recently quit my technical job in order to become a full time dogwalker/trainer and hope to be able to train shelter dogs in order to be rehomed. I am a full time self employed dog walker, currently accepting bookings mon-friday 8am - 6pm. I have my own car and can travel within 5 miles of Havant. I will try and stay local with dogs if I can. Or drive to a nearby forest/field to allow the dog, the exercise and enrichment they need. With home visits, I'll firstly greet the dog, check food and water levels and allow wee break straight away, whether its in a garden or an outside walk. If food is low, i will replace according to owner instructions. If water low or dirty, I'll clean the bowl and refill.
“Maria has been amazing from start to finish. Popped round a couple of times initially to meet pickles. We could tell from the start she would be a perfect fit. Sent updates pretty much everyday with pictures / videos of him on his walks. Would highly recommend and will deffo be using again in the future !!”
“Harry house sat for us while we were away for the weekend. He looked after our two pets, Arty the Dog and Ham the Cat, and also looked after the house! Harry was incredibly knowledgable upon meeting him, and both pets really took a shine to him instantly. Harry was very responsive whenever we messaged, and when we got home our pets were very content. Arty even seemed cleaner than he’d ever been! 😂 We had a heatwave over the weekend and Harry was very good at monitoring both pets. Especially caring for Arty, making sure not to walk him in extreme temperatures but ensuring he was sufficiently entertained. Our house was even cleaner than we left, our garden veg patch is thriving and I can really tell Harry cared for the house just as much as the pets! Thank you so much for stepping in last minute! We will deffo be booking with Harry again :)”
About: I have years of experience, from growing up with family pets to having my own dog (seen in the photo). Due to this, I know what is important and required when looking after your beloved pets. I have looked after others pets before (over nights, walks and drop ins) as well as leaving my own dog with walkers and sitters. I will ensure I ask all of the relevant questions about your pet and get to know them before embarking on day care/ walks or drop ins. If you would like your dog to have company and a play companion, I can also bring my own friendly spaniel (Podrick) on walks. Of course, this is optional to you and your pups needs. I will make sure to take lots of photos and videos to send to you along the way. I know what it’s like missing your furry friend! I am in between jobs at the moment and have a free summer so my routine can be very flexible for your pets. With enough notice, I am happy to help. If you require drop in visits and home stays, I will make sure to ask all the relevant questions so that your pet has a high standard of care. I will respect your home and space. I know what it is like having drop in visits due to having had them for my own dog. You can be assured that your home will be respected.
“Michelle was so attentive and communicative as she looked after Theo. We received regular updates - all with Theo living his best life!! We felt safe leaving him in Michelle’s capable hands, and he seemed to absolutely love his time with her. Thanks so much Michelle”
About: I have been the primary caregiver for my two family dogs for around 5 years now and have provided walks and drop-ins/visits for the dog’s of professional clients, family, and friends. I have experience in caring for all age stages from puppies to senior dogs so I know what to expect and how to adapt my care. This means you don’t need to warn me about puppy biting or feel embarrassed about teenage rebellion and you can trust me to consider the specific needs of each and every dog I care for. I volunteer as an assistant trainer (gun-dogs and scent work) so encounter a variety of different dogs and owners. In addition, I am more than happy to work on and reinforce your dog’s training whilst they’re in my care. I have an active lifestyle and don’t mind being outdoors in all weather so you can count on me for reliable, full and proper walks come rain or shine. I won’t let poor weather compromise your pups fun! I am a university student and have finished my first year. I am going back to university late September and will give plenty of notice to clients when I receive my new timetable. I plan to continue providing walks and drop-in’s throughout my time at uni and beyond. I have a kind and ethical approach to caring for pets. In addition, I will keep your dog safe and happy with my knowledge on dog body language and with my rule of only walking dogs from the same household together. I don’t do big pack walks so that I can pay special attention to each and every dog I care for. I also offer drop-in visits (30-60 minutes) and house sits (all day). Please note that I do not offer overnight stays as part of my house sits, and you should instead book house sits when you need me to care for your pets for an extended time during the day. Importantly, I will be respectful of your home and keep it as I found it.

Absolutely brilliant, cannot rate Hana highly enough. Hana looked after our Rottie and Olde English Bulldog for the weekend. Both our dogs are very alpha and Hana had them under control in minutes, made a great bond and our boys loved her. Super-accommodating, very helpful and excellent, honestly couldn’t ask for more 10/10
Skyla was perfect for our rescue Dog. She understood her rather complicated behaviours and adapted her approach accordingly. Our dog loved Skyla and they both had a great time whilst we were away. We were able to enjoy a worry free holiday. She left our house beautifully clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her.
Charlotte was amazing when looking after my doberman puppy for 5 nights. She went above and beyond to make sure she kept up with our girl's training and schedule and dealt with hardships really well when my pup couldn't get to sleep for the first two nights. Will definitely be booking again! Thanks so much

FAQs for House Sitting - Havant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Havant on Rover is £43.7 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Havant walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Havant choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
