Dog Boarding Lee-on-the-Solent

“We couldn’t have been happier leaving Milo with Rene and Rob while we were on holiday! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in the best hands. They spoilt him rotten, walked him every day, and gave him so much love and attention. It was clear he was treated as part of the family. Rene always sent pictures and updates which put my mind completely at ease and made me feel so good knowing he was happy and well looked after. We came back to one very happy and content pup! We will absolutely be booking again without hesitation. Thank you both so much! 🐾”

About: I am fully insured and have been caring for dogs for more than 15 years, loving every minute of it. Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent many years looking after my own dogs and understand how important it is to keep them happy, safe and comfortable. I currently have two friendly dogs who are a big part of my family. Archie is 3 years old, and Lottie is the newest member of our family at just 1 year and 2 months old. They are both spayed and extremely friendly with other dogs. If your dog enjoys company, they’ll have two lovely playmates to spend the day with, whether that’s playing in the garden, going for walks, or simply relaxing together. Looking after Archie and Lottie has given me daily experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I’ll always follow your instructions to help them feel at home. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can see how they’re getting on and enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving and happy home where your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection and care until you’re back together. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. During your dog’s stay, I’ll be at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. My own dogs are my priority every day, and I plan my routine around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the exercise they need. Living close to the beach and several lovely parks means I can take the dogs on enjoyable walks in different places, depending on their needs and your preferences. Because Archie and Lottie already have a regular routine, it’s easy to welcome another dog into our day. If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs, they’ll have two friendly playmates to spend the day with. There will be plenty of time for play, cuddles, rest and companionship, so they always feel loved and cared for. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can see how they’re getting on and have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first. Before every stay, I’ll ask about their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, any medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I’m also happy to arrange a meet and greet before booking. This gives you and your dog the chance to visit my home, meet me, Archie and Lottie, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before the stay. My home is clean, safe and dog friendly, and I always supervise dogs while they’re together to make sure everyone is happy and getting along. Archie and Lottie are both very friendly and enjoy meeting other dogs, but I’ll always introduce them calmly and at their own pace. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks and any special instructions. Dogs will always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, plenty of love and attention, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. I’ll also send regular photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Having grown up with dogs all my life, and 40 years of owning my own dogs, I can offer your dog a safe, caring and loving holiday. I have 2 Cocker Spaniels and have experience in training and breeding. I have recently retired from 40 years of being a staff nurse and now have the time to devote to caring for doggies. I have recently retired from 40 years as a nurse, so have lots of free time to walk, play and cuddle the dogs. I can offer long or short walks and am always down on Stokes Bay for walks with my dogs, come rain or shine. I have a fully enclosed fenced garden, With 2 Cocker Spaniels of my own. "Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, secure, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and play. I make sure all hazardous items, foods, and small objects are kept safely out of reach, and dogs are always supervised during play and feeding times.l only accept a limited number of dogs at once so each pet gets individual attention and care. Walks are always done on-lead unless agreed otherwise and I follow each owner's instructions carefully regarding routines, diet, and medications. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Sofia is a fantastic young lady who loves to look after your fir babies, she has just looked after my daft Alaskan Malamute when I had to go into a work meeting and from what I can tell my dog loved her little stay away from home. Never seen such a happy dog, usually she can't wait to go home but she was in absolutely no rush to leave, think if she had the choice I think she would have stayed there. Highly recommended and will be using Sofia again! Honestly I can't recommend her enough!!”

“Codi is always so happy to visit Pauline, we drop him off and he doesn’t give us a 2nd glance !! He has lots of toys to play with and it’s obvious how Pauline enjoys having dogs around her.”

About: Hi, I’m a retired dog lover living with my husband and our own friendly dog. As I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone and will be part of a calm, loving home. We’ve had dogs since 2006, and I volunteered as a dog walker for the RSPCA, so I’m confident with many breeds, reading body language, and supporting anxious dogs, including those with separation worries. We live close to the beach, and your dog will enjoy regular walks, often twice a day, plus time in our secure enclosed garden. Walks can be on or off lead, depending on your dog’s recall and your wishes. I offer a caring, structured environment with plenty of attention and affection. Dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture, to help maintain consistency in our home. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I only accept neutered males and spayed females, and every booking starts with a meet and greet, to make sure we are the right fit. My aim is to provide a genuine home from home, where you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for. I’m at home full-time, so daycare and dog sitting fit easily into my everyday routine. With my own dog, I’m already out on regular walks often along the beach, and I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine. It means your dog gets attention throughout the day in a calm, consistent setting. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I offer a calm home environment with a secure garden, constant supervision, and a consistent routine. I generally only take one dog at a time. If you have two dogs that live together and need care, this can be discussed. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, with careful assessment before any off-lead time. Every stay starts with a meet and greet, to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have plenty of experience looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and routines, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, settled and cared for when they’re away from home. I’m also a dog owner myself, with my very friendly Cockapoo, Winston. He loves meeting other dogs and having friends to play with! I’m confident with the day-to-day care dogs need, including walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles and keeping to their usual routine. I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule, so I can give dogs plenty of company, attention and time throughout the day. Walks, garden time, play and plenty of cuddles are all part of the day, with quieter periods for naps and relaxing. I’ll aim to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their usual walk and meal times. I’m also happy to accommodate different energy levels — whether your dog loves long walks and lots of play or is happier having a potter around the garden and curling up on the sofa. For dog walking and daycare, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention rather than simply being left to entertain themselves. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. We have a secure, enclosed garden and I’ll make sure doors, gates and outdoor areas are secure before letting dogs outside. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, routine and any particular needs before they stay, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you can make sure you’re comfortable with me and Winston. Winston is a friendly and sociable Cockapoo who loves having other dogs around, but I’ll always supervise interactions and make sure every dog has space to settle and relax when they need it. I’ll also keep your emergency contact and vet details on hand and follow any instructions you provide around feeding, medication, walks and anything else your dog needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for Winston.

“Found Christine at the last minute as our regular sitter was unavailable. Could not fault Christine in any way. Our dog came back from her week long visit full of vitality and had even been bathed and groomed following a muddy outing!”

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.

“Oliwia Was excellent. She offered to meet up before hand. Was courteous& clear communication. Shared photos throughout the weekend. Max was clearly well looked after. Lots of walks, playtimes and swimming in the sea which he loves. Recommend Oliwia.”

Claire G.

“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.”

Charly C.

“I just want to say how amazing both Ben and Eden are. They were friendly and welcoming. When I dropped Benji off, I left feeling calm and relaxed that he was going to be looked after very well. Ben and Eden sent me lots of lovely photos and kept me up to date on his adventures! I highly recommend Ben and Eden 110% I would definitely ask them to have Benji again in the future.”

Natalie W.

“Angie and Murray saved us in an emergency after Charlie turned out to be too energetic for a dog we were due to stay with. They were fantastic and Charlie had the best time!”

Karolina S.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my senior dog with Christos and Kyriacos. They are polite, responsible, and genuinely caring. I was regularly updated and sent plenty of photos of my dog enjoying his stay. They quickly won my dog over, who is picky about who he trusts, showing they made a real effort to connect with him. I could even tell he missed them when he returned home. I will definitely be reaching out to Christos and Kyriacos when I next need a sitter and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet sitting and peace of mind.”

Robin S.

“My dog was very happy. Lots of walks, cuddles and pictures shared.”
