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.
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: 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: 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.

“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!”
“We couldn’t have found a better holiday home for Bonnie than with Rene and Robert. We knew instantly that she would be treated as part of the family and when we picked her up we could see how comfortable she’d made herself. Thank you so much and for all the walks by the sea…her favourite place to be. And thank you for all the updates and pictures.”
“Gertie and Teddy had the best time with Sofia and family. Sofia sent regular pics and updates and loved them like her own. I would highly recommend Sofia.”
“Billy and Molly were well looked after by Clare for their one night stay. They had all the comforts of home and enjoyed a lovely walk during the day. Clare sent photos and updates during their stay. They are having a longer stay later in the year and I will be more than happy to leave them anytime with Clare.”
“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.”

“Both our kittens were extremely happy and comfortable with Cat, who was so attentive and caring. Communication was reliable and often–I felt so secure and stress-free knowing they were so well looked after. Thanks again! ”
“Beverley was looking after my cat Sophie during my move to London. She was absolutely amazing! She was available at short notice and nothing was a problem. Even though the flat still had no furniture to sit on she came in, gave my girl food, meds, cuddles and she played with her. Sent me lots of photos every time and i came back to a happy cat. Would highly recommend. She is a true cat lover and a reliable sitter! Thank you so much!!”
“Kirsty is absolutely amazing with my nervous dog, and very respectful and considerate. I messaged Kirsty first to explain about my dog to see if she is comfortable watching her, and she came for a couple of meet and greets to ensure that my dog is comfortable and happy before Kirsty watched her whilst I was out for the day. She was very attentive to everything I asked of her, and ensured to take notes to make sure that nothing got missed. I loved the photo updates Kirsty sent to me throughout the day and I am so pleased at how quickly my dog became comfortable around her, especially as she does usually take quite a bit of time to warm up to strangers. I am looking forward to asking Kirsty to watch my dog again so I can enjoy a stress free day out, knowing that my dog is in very safe hands!”
“Lorraine was absolutely fantastic whilst looking after my 5 month old kitten! Really prompt in replies and couldnt help enough.. especially when I had to book at short notice. If i could give more than 5 stars i would!”
“Rhea really helped us out over the busy Christmas period. She popped in to feed Pippi for a couple of days and was always good at communicating throughout the whole process, even sending some update photos which were much appreciated!! Pippi can be a bit frosty with strangers but she warmed right up to Rhea, which only serves to prove how great Rhea is with animals! Would definitely book again when we need it, thank you so much for your help.”
“Charlotte came to look after our 3 playful kitties and they clearly loved their time with her! She fed and played with them and kept us updated with lots of pictures of our furr babies. She did a introductory visit to meet the cats and find out where all their stuff was in the house too. Very professional and friendly throughout our experience with her. Thank you, Charlotte!”
“Otis can be very nervous around new people, which he was on the first visit from Alexandra but she was kind and compassionate and broke his worries down, second visit he was a very happy boy and playful. 100% recommend her and came home to a very happy and content boy thank you 😊”
“Hana looked after Angel very well. She went out of her way to make sure that all was OK with our cat and our home. Thank you, Hana, for all you did, including watering the plants and running the vacuum over the floor in addition to caring for Angel. Thank you so much. This was our first time using Rover.com and it has been excellent.”

“Absolutely fantastic service, she was kind when first meeting Poppy who wasn’t to sure at first! From the pictures it looked like Poppy really warmed up to Jennifer and looks relaxed. Which is a complete relief to know someone was there for her while we went to a concert. Thank you so much Jennifer!!”
“Megan was fantastic with my 3 furbabies. 2 of them had been unwell before we went away and she was great at communicating how they were and even went out of her way to get some ham to try and encourage them to eat something. 100% recommend and will be rebooking :)”
About: Hiya I’m Keira! I’m a third year veterinary medicine student who utterly adores animals - especially dogs and cats. I have had my own dog for nearly 13 years and also have worked in a range of rescue centres, vets and other animal related places as part of my degree. I will treat your furry companion as if they are my own and leave you care free knowing your animal is in safe hands 🤍 I am at university so I’m term times, weekends are more suitable. However in my holidays (especially summer), I have plenty of free time to care for your companion. With each individual animal, it is about understanding how they work, what they feel comfortable with and knowing not two animals are the same. No matter whether it is my own pet or another individual - I ensure they are looked after to an incredibly high standard.

“Ella was amazing! Milo spent two days, Wednesday and Thursday, with Ella. On the second day he was super excited to see her again. I have never left Milo with anyone before and was very nervous about it, but Ella kept me updated throughout the day, which I thought was lovely! Would definitely recommend Ella and the care she provided for my very hectic puppy 🐶 We will definitely be booking with Ella again!”
About: I’ve looked after pets for 23 years, and animals have always been part of my everyday life. I live with Gizmo the pug, my permanent shadow who’s convinced my bed belongs to both of us and two cats who think they run the house. Because of that, I’m used to juggling different temperaments, routines, and a lot of personality. Friends, family, and neighbours have relied on me for walking, feeding, meds, bath time, and keeping their pets calm and comfortable. I notice the small things, keep a steady routine, and treat every dog as if they’re part of my own slightly chaotic, very loved little crew. I’m currently a SAHDM (if you know you know). I was made redundant in November so for the foreseeable my life is solely pet focussed I keep things steady, predictable, and low-stress. In my home, pets settle into a calm routine with regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of company. I have a large, secure garden for safe outdoor time, and Gizmo the pug usually acts as the welcoming committee. I manage introductions carefully so every animal feels comfortable. I supervise closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure each pet has its own quiet area to relax.
“Dogs were very happy after a full day with Pauline. it was a perfect way top ensure the dogs were looked after whilst we were doing sight seeing at 'non dog friendly' sights and gave them a rest after visiting many of hampshires sights. Apologies to Pauline if they got a bit excited and pulled too much, for little cavaliers, when they want, they seem to have a lot of strength.”
“Thank you for taking good care of Toto. He looked happy at the end of his visit. I find it hard to leave him with people he doesnt know, as I worry that he might wonder what is going on, but seeing him after his stay has given me more assurance that he will be fine.”

“Basil had a great time in Teodora’s care, we got regular updates and adorable photos. We ended up booking the following day as well! Basil was so tired when he came back after the lots of walks and playing fetch. 100% recommended her again!”
“Penny was a dream, when we needed support for George at very short notice.Penny made a very stressful situation much easier by being so easy and quick to communicate with. George has absolutely loved his day care with Penny , and had so many new socialisation experiences like walking on a retractable lead, walking with a dog buddy, playing with her children. He came home very happy and tired , and he seems so much calmer and confident in himself. We couldn't recommend Penny enough.”
“Elspeth took Bracken out with two other dogs for a nice long walk and it’s really nice he got the activity/socialisation. Plenty of photos, which was good. He was anxious (he’s not used to being away from home) once back at her place but she used calming sorry and diffusers, which was really good of her.”
“Jamie looked after my dog for the day and she had a really great time! Jamie is relaxed and composed and was really good with Lola, lots of walks and chill time at home. Happy dog, happy owner- highly recommend Jamie ?”
About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care. I’ve owned reactive dogs for many years, so I understand the importance of calm handling, patience, routine and being constantly aware of surroundings while out walking. Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols. I will be sole care for the dog during its stay. 5:00am – Quiet early morning walk 6:00am – Breakfast and calm rest time 8:00am – Garden play, enrichment or sniff games 10:00am – Beach walk or quiet countryside hike 12:00pm – Rest and nap time in the home 2:00pm – Toilet break and gentle play 4:00pm – Short afternoon walk or enrichment activities 6:00pm – Dinner time 7:00pm – Family time, cuddles and settling for the evening 9:00pm – Final toilet break and bedtime Our home has a fully enclosed garden and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, perfect for calm daily walks and outdoor time. We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.

About: Hiya I’m Keira! I’m a third year veterinary medicine student who utterly adores animals - especially dogs and cats. I have had my own dog for nearly 13 years and also have worked in a range of rescue centres, vets and other animal related places as part of my degree. I will treat your furry companion as if they are my own and leave you care free knowing your animal is in safe hands 🤍 I am at university so I’m term times, weekends are more suitable. However in my holidays (especially summer), I have plenty of free time to care for your companion. With each individual animal, it is about understanding how they work, what they feel comfortable with and knowing not two animals are the same. No matter whether it is my own pet or another individual - I ensure they are looked after to an incredibly high standard.
About: I've had dogs in my life from our Pointer when I was a child to more recently my Labrador who is no longer with us. My partner has a Shih Tzu and we share looking after her as we live in separate houses. I work mornings from home and every afternoon walk along the seafront where I live, so why not walk with a dog? I'm also very close to Southsea Common and enjoy walking there as well. I can either pick up your dog or it can be dropped off depending on the time. I have a walled garden and a house with no carpet on the ground floor - which comes in handy for any accidents! I live on my own but could only house sit at weekends as I work every morning.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and miss having my own, so I absolutely love looking after other people’s pets. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, and even rabbits—mostly for friends, family, and my own over the years. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, feeding time, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to help however I can. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available for afternoon and evening walks during the week. I’m also happy to offer overnight care or stay at your home if needed. Weekends are fully open, and I’m more than happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. Just let me know what works best for you. I always treat pets with the same love and care I’d give my own. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, their safety and comfort come first. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, or house rules you provide, and I make sure they feel calm, cared for, and never alone. I’m tidy, respectful, and keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: Grew up with a border collie (lots of long walks and training). I recently lost a Romanian Princess (rescue dog) and want to care for other people's beloved pets (cats and dogs) the way I took care of her. I'm working from home full time. This means I can visit in the morning, lunchtime and evening. Alternatively, I could work from your house (WiFi please). I live with my husband (a bigger live of pets than i) and my 2 year old son. My son is at nursery or other childcare during the week. For boarding or day care, your fur baby wouldn't see him during the weekday. However, he knows to "wave hello and give them some space", they are given separate spaces to eat and rest. I can walk your dog on lead or drive them to a safe location for them to be on or off lead. We could do a little training (commands or sniff). Cuddles as wanted by your pet (cat or dog). I find this question tricky because I care for your pets as they need. Each dog or cat are very different in their wants and needs. Due to childcare responsibilities, and to be fair to my partner, I can only house sit for 1 or 2 nights.
About: Growing up we always had household pets, i have slept with atleast 1 cat on my bed all of my life. We always saved wildlife as my mum worked nights and used to find injured or abandoned animals and we have carried that on volunteering for several local animal causes. I have 5 horses and my own private stable yard, i have only just lost my 17 and a half year old pom who used to come with me there. At home now i have 3 cats and 2 gerbils, at the yard i have 8 rescued pigeons. Animals have taken the forefront of my life and i wish to continue my passion into everyday work. I am up early every morning. I have 3 house cats at home who are fed and fresh trays. I then go to my horses, depending on jobs for the day ill pick up some of the dogs on route to walk over my fields or pop in to any holiday pets if they are on route. I custom fit my days to make sure all needs are prioritised accordingly. Most days are the same others are well coordinated. I will always use a rear entrance if possible, to decrease risks of escaping pets. When walking dogs i follow all uk guidelines, stick to safe areas and only allow dogs off lead in enclosed settings with perfect recall. I have many long lines to allow freedom with restriction. I can have dogs on the land where my horses are which is fully enclosed.

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.

“Billy and Molly were well looked after by Clare for their one night stay. They had all the comforts of home and enjoyed a lovely walk during the day. Clare sent photos and updates during their stay.
