“Sophie kept us updated throughout our pups stay with her. Lots of beautiful pictures and reassurance that they were absolutely fine and in excellent hands. When we picked the girls up you could instantly tell how much they had warmed to her, so much so that Dottie laid on her back for more belly rubs from Sophie rather than us 😂. Their family dog Theo is so friendly and welcoming to new doggies in his house and it’s lovely that when we go away now, not only do our dogs have human company, they also have another 4 legged friend to play with! Will definitely be using Sophie for all our future boardings and would recommend people to do the same.”
“Monica has been an absolute superstar, she’s taken amazing care of our little puppy who has come home completely exhausted after a fun filled stay. We were sent load of pics and videos of Winnie and monica made the whole experience so easy, it’s the first time we’ve left her and we were able to relax knowing that our pup was having a super fun time too! Thanks Monica, we will be seeing you again soon! X”
“Mabel recently stayed with Joanne and her family. I sent her packing (a little nervous due to it being my first rover) and with a million warnings about what she MIGHT do! 🤣 Turns out Mabel was an absolute dream so they must have been brilliant at looking after her. I had regular updates and pictures. Timings were sorted out easily and we kept in touch via Whatsapp. Joanne has a really secure garden - which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving her there. It felt like a home from home setting. I have two children of my own and Joanne's two seemed to love her as much as her own. They were super excited to have her. She was allowed upstairs and just slipped into their family life. She had plenty of walks and was fed well. I wouldn't hesitate at using Jo again! Thanks guys! 🐾🐾”
“Shadia took my beagle boy Uno overnight and he had a brilliant time. As anyone who knows the breed will tell you, beagles aren’t the easiest! But Shadia was great with him, regularly sending pictures and giving me updates on how he was getting on. Uno also got on brilliantly with Shadia’s retriever, Skye (who is absolutely lovely) and they clearly played endlessly. He came home the next day and went straight into nap mode! Can thoroughly recommend Shadia and will use her services again in future. 😊”
“My previous experience on Rover (not with Eleanor and Raymond) was horrific, which left me hesitant to leave my dog, Genie, with anybody... When I met Eleanor and Raymond for a meet and greet, they were shocked, compassionate and reassuring - I got a sense they were a good fit for me and Genie. Before the main booking, we agreed to do a trial sleepover to make sure everybody was a good fit and it went great! Eleanor and Raymond are both lovely, I now have peace of mind knowing Genie will be in safe hands going forward”
“Our dog (Cookie) really enjoyed herself staying with Murali and his family. Cookie is a very lively but very friendly GSD and settled with their own dog and another, especially playing chase around their large garden. We would have no hesitation in recommending this boarder to anyone.”
“Ellie gave us real confidence that our dog was in safe hands. The way she manages her own dog is exactly how we would expect. Her dog was very friendly and seemed at ease having a guest dog in the house.. She listened to my pet parent fears and was prepared for everything. 100% recommend!”
“The best sitter Henry has ever had. He loved being there and was very well looked after. Local to me so I will be returning quite often I think! Thank you Stephanie for looking after me so well. Loved Henry x”
“We recently had Kellie look after our dog for the first time, and we couldn't be happpier with the experience, We received regular updates and photos which reassured us that Peppa was not only safe but happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Kellie again highly recommended.”
“Ron was very good to Ricky, he has send Ricky’s photos morning and evening. We looked forward to seeing the pictures of Ricky every day while we were away. We are grateful to Ron for looking after Ricky and would love to use his services many more times. Koji and Helen Kimura”
“Caroline poked after my boy so well! He loves going for his stay which makes it so much easier! Caroline always looks after him so well and she is amazing!😃 Thank you Caroline!”
“Louise and her family were all one could want from someone being entrusted to take care of a beloved dog; friendly, playful, caring, considerate and communicative. You should definitely allow your dogs to spend time with Louise; they will thank you for it! I wholeheartedly recommend Louise.”
About: I have grown up around animals and have owned a variety. I’ve had the likes of dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs just to name a few. Most recently I have owned a pug and currently live with a golden retriever. I have a lot of knowledge about flat faced breeds and know how to best care for them. Equally I have a lot of knowledge around other breeds particularly smaller ones. I have looked after friends and my families dogs when they have gone away. I have the ability to go to their houses so that their dogs stay in their own environment that’s familiar. I have also had dogs come and stay with me too. I regularly look after my friends dog when she goes to work making sure that her dog is well looked after. I have a lot of free time at the moment being in between jobs so am very flexible with my availability. I will work around what’s best for you and your pet. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. At my house dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds so they can have a proper cuddle. I have three beds in the house with room for their own bed if required. I have a fully enclosed garden with a 7ft fence. I also have an open field across the road and a woodlands the other side with running water. I will make sure to feed your dog as many times as needed throughout the time they are with me. There are two fresh water bowls throughout the house and one in the back garden as well so that there is always access to water. I usually keep my back door open throughout the summer time so that Olive (my friends dog) can go in and out when she pleases, as well as her swimming pool under the shade of a giant canopy. If you would like me to sit in your own home I will treat it with the upmost respect. I like to keep things clean and tidy and will leave your home as I came into it. Leave no trace.
“Romeo had a wonderful time with Lynn. I really appreciated the photos and updates that she sent me. I would highly recommend and would be happy for Romeo to stay with Lynn again.”
“Ananda looked after my 2 cockapoos and I cannot express how excellent she was. The boys got walked 3+ times a day. She tailored everything to their needs, from allowing them to sleep on her bed to the quirks they have. I received updates and pictures throughout the day all 5 days! I felt very comfortable to leave my boys with her and her partner. It was obvious how much she adores dogs from our meet and greet before she looked after them I cannot recommend Ananda enough. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Carmen and family made Enzo feel very comfortable when he a bit unsure about being away from his humans for a few nights for the first time. Would 100% recommend and hope to book again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Sophie! My partner George and I recently bought our first home in Eastleigh, and we’re both huge dog lovers. While our work commitments mean we can’t have a dog of our own right now, we’d love to help others by providing caring and reliable dog walking and sitting services. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, from a Border Collie to a Lhasa Apso/Yorkie mix, and now a lovely litte Poochon. I’m very used to grooming needs and making sure coats are well cared for. I also regularly help care for family dogs, including Labradors, so I’m confident with both small and large breeds. Having experienced every stage of a dog’s life, I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as giving extra patience, attention, and love to older dogs. I work full-time across four days a week, which means I’m fully available on Tuesdays and weekends. On my days off, your dog will have my full attention. I’ll always stick to your routine and make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for—whether that’s during a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I’m happy to provide as many walks as your dog needs, along with plenty of playtime and attention. They’ll also have access to a secure garden and a safe, dog-friendly home environment. I have a fully fenced, secure garden and plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. I’m also happy to take dogs out in the car for longer walks or new environments if they enjoy that. I always aim to follow your preferences and routine to make sure you feel completely comfortable. My home does have stairs, but these can be safely blocked off if needed. Dogs are welcome to settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. You’re very welcome to bring their bed, crate, blankets, or anything familiar from home. If your dog is used to cuddling up on the sofa, they’ll be more than welcome to do the same here!

“Hollie is so lovely and took great care of my cats while I was away including giving them their medications. She gave me daily updates and there were no problems throughout.”
“Lauran was amazing with my cat! So accommodating, she was consistent with communication and went above and beyond to make me feel secure and stress free while away! She send photos, great with updates, and even found a way to connect with my very antisocial cat! Definitely recommend, she followed all the requests and she showed she cared. Thank you Lauran xx”
About: I’ve been around cats since I was little, sadly my marmalade tabby, Missy, is no longer with us. I’ve previously cat sit for my friends and family. I know to respect boundaries and that sometimes cats take a little more time to tolerate a newcomer.
“We couldn’t be more happy with Kate as she’s been looking after our 2 boys, Stewie (2 year old rescue Dachshund) & Biggles (6 year old Jack Russell). Pro-active communication, lots of photos (which we love) & an obvious connection with the two dogs which she clearly loves (and they love her). We couldn’t recommend Kate more.”
About: I started offering cat sitting services two years ago and I recently adopted a kitten of my own. I understand the anxiety around trusting another person with your animals, and I always treat each pet as I would my own!
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kind for most of my life! My main priority has always been to ensure their health and comfort; going for walks everyday and providing a healthy balanced diet. As of recent years, I have built up my knowledge of caring for senior dogs due to having a 16-year-old Jack Russel and I have also learnt how to deal with different behaviours thanks to dog sitting for friends and family! I am currently working part-time from home, therefore I am fully fit to accompany your pup whenever is needed! My flexible hours allow me to be available 7 days a week, from whenever time is required! I have a fenced garden and a pet free house, to accommodate pets of every kind! There is no restrictions as to going on furniture, and your pup will be welcome to roam wherever and I have flexible space to host a crate if required!
About: I have been around animals my whole life including helping my parents run an animal sanctuary .I have taken care of all sorts including,foxes,badgers,birds of prey,ponies and pot bellied pigs to name a few. I love all animals and would love and care for them just as they deserve to be cared for. I have just left working in education for 20 years fulltime and have decided to spend some of my days or weeks caring for our beloved pets. I can' t think of a lovelier way to spend some spare time either out in the fresh air for a lovely walk or snuggled up in the warm with some of our furry friends. I am advertising as a pet sitter in the comfort of your home where your pets will feel safe and secure whilst you are away. I have insurance, a DBS and have been on many pet courses to ensure i am always up to date on what your pets deserve. I am a patient, kind, trustworthy and loving person who always has integrity. I am a non-smoker and drinker and will treat your home and your pets with the upmost respect.
About: I am 18 years old and about to finish a level 3 qualification in animal management which allowed me to develop my knowledge on the care of a wide range of animals including domestics, and I was able to gain more experience with cats and dogs during practical sessions. I was taught how to complete thorough health checks (both visual and physical) to ensure I am able to monitor their health. I have had a cat since I was around four years old and I got a dog around 3 years ago so I am familiar with the typical routine of a domestic pet, plus I have some skills in dog training as I was required to train my dog for an assignment at college. Besides my own pets, I have cared for both cats and dogs since I was young as I would look after friends and family’s pets when they were away. I completed a six month placement at a kennel and cattery, during my first year of college, where I gained hands on experience with administering care for cats and dogs and I was taught to be able to recognise their behaviours and identify when something may be wrong. Last year I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few months where the majority of my responsibilities involved caring for cats of all ages and temperaments - which included cleaning out, feeding, providing enrichment, and socialising, especially with young or nervous cats. Some of my tasks also involved working with the dogs such as cleaning out, exercising, grooming, providing enrichment, and socialising. I am currently at college 3 days a week, however I am free on Wednesdays, Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays. I may also be available after college in the evenings in some cirumstances. I provide care in the pet owner’s home so that the animal can stay in a comfortable and familiar environment. I follow any specific instructions to ensure their routine is kept the same. I aim to build trust with both the animals and their owners through clear communication and reliability.
About: Growing up we had many cats as a family, I have fostered cats with the Bluecross for the last 4 years and I love it. I also sit with the cats in their care who are waiting to be rehomed as a volunteer.
About: I have two adopted animals from rescue and one girl I’ve had from a puppy. My eldest has medication and specific washing requirements so I’m used to doing that. I drive so can facilitate vet appointments if needed as required. I work from home, so can work to suit schedules and be near animals as required. I have smaller dogs myself which we can separate if this is something your animal isn’t used to. Having animals myself I understand often complex needs and requirements and can adjust to fit various circumstances as needed. I can familiarise myself with any routine required, and happy to attend beforehand as needed to speak to the owner. I was previously an estate agent, so understand how to lock property safely and take care of the owners space and privacy. I would like to think I am reliable and trustworthy such that it can be one worry less during busy times in your schedule.

About: I'm a dog lover but sadly my work doesn't allow me to have my own so I get my fix by dog sitting for others. I frequently look after dogs for family and friends and have had only positive feedback. I work full time Monday - Friday and one weekend in four. My work is flexible and allows for home and hybrid working giving me availability for walking and drop ins. I generally work from home Monday and Friday and am normally available from 4pm Tuesday - Thursday. My job allows a level of flexibility so if my default calendar isn't showing me as available, please give me a message and we may be able to work something out. I'm an avid hiker and walker so I'm no stranger to long walks in the forest and some canine company would compliment that. I live in a bungalow just a 5 minute drive from the beautiful New Forest and 10 minutes from the local beach. The road I live in is quiet and I am the sole occupier with no pets of my own. I have a fair sized garden which is fully fenced and secure. I treat pets as I would my own and they are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I am a non smoker and maintain a tidy home. I'm strict with their diet so you can rest assured they won't be snacking on food that isn't good for them.
About: I have had a love of animals ever since I can remember, but dogs are my absolute love. I have cared for many over the years, including my own, friends and family. I have all the experience to provide a safe and loving environment for your dog to stay at when you need it. I have experience of many breed types and characters, as well as the knowledge to care for puppies to seniors and dogs with long term illnesses, such as diabetes or pancreatitis. I am home every day, all day and therefore am more than able to provide a tailored routine for your dog. Their needs would be my primary concern. I have a friendly dog who is always happy to have other dogs come to stay or walk with us. They would have the run of the house as our dog does. We have a garden and a wood just across the road to walk in every day.
About: I have taken care of every animal I can think of from snakes, spiders, rats, guinea pigs, fish and of course cats and dogs. I pride myself in offering affordable animal care and since my dogs passing earlier this year, I have found I have an empty space in my heart. I still dog sit for friends and dog walk for them but I'd like to now pursue this as a career with my passion for animals. I do work, so I need to work around my schedule but I do work either mornings or evenings so that is one bonus. I also drive and can take pups out and about to fulfil their energetic needs I am currently unable to offer any stays at my own home due to having 2 cats, one of which is a scaredy cat and is dog savvy but prefers to be without them I work full time which means my availability is limited. I usually book off my rover days so please still enquire but be aware I may need notice:) Also please be aware that there may be additional charges in accordance to the dog sitting request timings As a responsible pet lover, I will ask questions such as whether your pet can be on or off lead. Whether you are expecting visitors. I will always do more than one meet and greet which is free of charge. It is only walking and sitting that I charge for. This is to ensure the dog and I are a good match as your pets trust and comfort is key priority

“Shadia took Billy for us on short notice and with all the updates put us at ease. He had a couple of walks and lots of play and social time with Shadia’s dog and cats. Would definitely recommend!”
“I chose Sophie for a day care stay for our beloved Maia, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met them, they were welcoming and friendly. Maia was made to feel part of the family and enjoyed spending time with Sophie, her family, and their lovely dog Theo. It was reassuring to know she was in such a caring and safe environment while we were away. Sophie kept us updated throughout the day and when we picked Maia up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend Sophie and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Maia!”
“Thank you so much to Ananda for taking the best care of Barley. He had the best time and got plenty of belly rubs and attention from Ananda. She sent us plenty of updates and also listened to everything we mentioned. Thank you so much for having him and we wouldn’t hesitate recommending Ananda to anyone ☺️ Barley cannot wait to see you again!”
“I took my girl to day care with Lauren and she had a great time with Lauren and her family. Lauren is a very caring lady who took storm on a nice long walk during the day. Lauren sent me pictures and videos of storm throughout the day which made me really happy to see her enjoying her day there. I have booked for Storm to go to day care with Lauren and family each Monday. Very happy that storm is with caring people”
“Wardah and her partner were fantastic, it was our first time using Rover and they completely put our mind at ease, giving a nice run through of what they would do when I dropped Koda off. They took him out for two walks and gave many updates throughout the day, would use them again in a heartbeat.”
“Carmen and her delightful family made us both very welcome and were brilliant hosts to Holly. I have never seen her so excited to come back the next day as she was yesterday so, thank you Carmen for looking after her so well. Carmen is well worth booking and I will certainly be asking her to help with Holly in future.”
“Secil looked after Bertie for a whole week during g the daytime. By the second day, Bertie got excited just getting in the car as he knew he was seeing Secil again. He loved every minute, Secil was very flexible for us with early starts and later pick ups. Thank you so very much for taking care of Bertie. We will definitely be back!!”
About: Hi, I’m Jiani, a passionate dog lover based in Southampton. As a proud owner of a miniature Dachshund, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs of different ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m reliable, responsible, and organised in my day-to-day work, and I bring the same level of care and commitment when looking after pets. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply keeping to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can provide regular updates, photos, and messages for complete peace of mind, so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, I already structure my day around regular walks, feeding times, play, and companionship. My Dachshund, Robin, is a much-loved member of the family, so I understand the importance of consistency and attention to a dog’s physical and emotional needs. I work locally and have evenings, weekends, and school holidays available, allowing me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll ensure they receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is getting on while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to ensure they receive personalised care and attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone else. I will treat your dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and a safe environment. I am happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, training, or routines to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible. For boarding and daycare services, I have a friendly Dachshund, Robin, at home. Meet-and-greets can be arranged beforehand to ensure all dogs are comfortable together. I will also provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Ive had experience with dogs my whole life, help out with another business with all dog breeds and all ages. I believe all dogs deserve a life full of fun! I am available most days, I'm not working at the moment but I still give lots of love to my two beautiful dogs with bubbley personalities I have a spacious back garden and a gorgeous golden Labrador to keep your fury friend comftable. They will have lots of toys to play with and even a treat if they're good!
“Rose was brilliant with our 4month old puppy . Luna was very happy to stay at rose house and will look forwards to coming back very soon . Thank you for having luna .”
About: I have a strong love for animals and I understand the importance of making sure you have someone trust worthy to look after your furry friends as I understand how worrying this can be. Since I was young I have cared for my friends and families animals (both cats and dogs) and still continue to regularly. I currently work from home full time Monday to Friday with weekends off work so I have a lot of time to spend with your furry friends and look forward to having their company. I always abide by the owners rules (i.e. amount of walks/feeding times/ whether an animal doesn't like something/whether they need medication at a certain time) other than this, I will give your pet a lot of attention,play time and belly rubs (IF they like it!) :)
“Claire was friendly and welcoming. Put us at ease when leaving our two timid and anxious dogs. Super pleased with the care they received. Claire went above and beyond, high recommend Claire and would most certainly return.”
About: I’ve taken regular care of my friends dog for quite a few years now as she is a frequent traveller. Experienced with day to day care, dog walking and providing comfort and play. Honest, trustworthy and genuinely care about animals. I work part time from home so available for cuddles and play. We have a large garden and I can go for walks after 3pm some Days. I have Fridays off so can do long walks that day. I have 2 children but one is 14 and the other is 11 so responsible and respectful who also love animals I have a fenced garden and an open plan house where I can see the pets easily. If in someone else’s home, I’m respectful of whatever instructions they provide.
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m not new to caring for dogs. I’ve had dogs in my life for 44 years and currently care for my own elderly dogs (Oscar (15) & Lucy (16)), both of whom have needed a lot of patience, routine and gentle handling as they’ve got older. Through them, I’ve gained real experience with senior dog care, sight loss, reduced hearing, medication routines, mobility issues, and understanding when a dog needs calm reassurance rather than too much fuss. I’ve also looked after puppies & dogs for friends and family, and I’m very comfortable following each dog’s normal routine closely. I know how important the little details are, from feeding times and medication to favourite blankies & toys, walking habits, nervous behaviours and the small things that help a dog feel calm and settled. I don’t think there’s anything quite like a dog. They are funny, loyal, gentle, soulful little creatures who somehow make the world feel better just by being in it. I genuinely believe dogs are one of the best things in life, and caring for them properly is something I take seriously. I work from home Monday to Friday and have a flexible schedule, so I’m around throughout the day for company, toilet breaks, feeding routines, walks and plenty of attention. I’m used to planning my day around dogs and their routines, including set meal times, medication needs, rest time and comfort. Walks can be fitted around my working day, including during my breaks or any walking meetings I have with my team. I am currently offering boarding in my own home, as my own dogs have a calm, steady routine and I’m always close by. I care for dogs in my own home, where I keep things calm, safe and settled. I have two elderly dogs myself, so my home is already built around a gentle routine, quiet care and close supervision. They mostly sleep now and are used to being around dogs from friends and family, including younger dogs, so the house is calm rather than busy. I’m very mindful of helping dogs feel comfortable, especially if they are older, nervous, have medical needs, or simply need a little time to settle in. I will always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication, walks, toilet breaks, sleeping arrangements and any house rules or quirks your dog may have. Every dog is different, so I’d want to understand what makes them feel safe and happy before they stay. Dogs in my care would have plenty of company throughout the day, as I work from home and am always around. They would not be left alone for long, usually no more than around 15 minutes if I needed to pop to the local shop.
About: I am a qualified dog groomer and work part time in a luxury boarding kennels on Fridays, the other days of the week I work from home doing an admin role and grooming dogs. I have a pet first aid certification which prepares me for emergencies. I was lucky enough to be born into a family with a dog and have adored animals ever since, caring for my own rabbit from the age of 7 and helping to train the family dogs. I have owned my own dog and cared for other dogs as if they were my own. I work from home some days of the week and really enjoy the company of a dog. My house and garden are a decent size and I don’t have any children so your dog will have my full attention. I work from home in an administrative role a few days a week. I also groom dogs in the cabin at the side of my house on some days. Working from home can be a lonely at times which is why I wanted to add more dog sitting to my life. If you have any questions, please reach out! I have a nicely sized grass garden perfect for playing in which is fenced. . I have a crate if needed and can shut the front room door to prevent dogs going upstairs if they need this (young puppies or seniors). I am used to meeting new dogs regularly and learning their own unique behaviours, always taking things at their pace and learning how they feel most comfortable. This experience has come from owning dogs, volunteering at a rescue centre and working with dogs for the past 4 years.
“Shannon was amazing with Max! She took great care of her and followed all the instructions we left. Max came back very happy, which says everything 😊 She also sent us photos and updates, which we really appreciated. Shannon is lovely and very reliable! we would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 50 year, from a Pyrenean to a Westie and a couple in between 😊 Now retired seeking regular exercise with a four legged friend. Since loosing our beloved Westies, Holly and Max, now semi retired with plenty time to spare, looking to find new canine friends to fill the gap. We live in a very quiet rural area with a large enclosed dog proof garden and lots of walks in the New Forest and seaside nearby
About: Hi! my name is Veronica and I am looking forward to take care of your four legs buddies😚 Both me and my partner are huge dog lovers and we have been dogsitting here in Southampton for a few years. My work hours are quite flexible and I have the opportunity to be at home a lot of time, so whatever your doggie’s routine is, I can adapt to it. Please reach out if you have any questions! I work from home most of the week from 9 to 5 (however, hours are flexible) and I am off on weekends. If I am out for work I will be back within 6 hours - however I’d let the owner know in advance I live in a spacious two bedroom apartment that doesn’t have a garden, however I’m in the city center with plenty of parks around us and there is no issues in going there several times per day!
About: I have had a love of animals ever since I can remember, but dogs are my absolute love. I have cared for many over the years, including my own, friends and family. I have all the experience to provide a safe and loving environment for your dog to stay at when you need it. I have experience of many breed types and characters, as well as the knowledge to care for puppies to seniors and dogs with long term illnesses, such as diabetes or pancreatitis. I am home every day, all day and therefore am more than able to provide a tailored routine for your dog. Their needs would be my primary concern. I have a friendly dog who is always happy to have other dogs come to stay or walk with us. They would have the run of the house as our dog does. We have a garden and a wood just across the road to walk in every day.
About: I'm a dog lover but sadly my work doesn't allow me to have my own so I get my fix by dog sitting for others. I frequently look after dogs for family and friends and have had only positive feedback. I work full time Monday - Friday and one weekend in four. My work is flexible and allows for home and hybrid working giving me availability for walking and drop ins. I generally work from home Monday and Friday and am normally available from 4pm Tuesday - Thursday. My job allows a level of flexibility so if my default calendar isn't showing me as available, please give me a message and we may be able to work something out. I'm an avid hiker and walker so I'm no stranger to long walks in the forest and some canine company would compliment that. I live in a bungalow just a 5 minute drive from the beautiful New Forest and 10 minutes from the local beach. The road I live in is quiet and I am the sole occupier with no pets of my own. I have a fair sized garden which is fully fenced and secure. I treat pets as I would my own and they are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I am a non smoker and maintain a tidy home. I'm strict with their diet so you can rest assured they won't be snacking on food that isn't good for them.

“Mabel recently stayed with Joanne and her family. I sent her packing (a little nervous due to it being my first rover) and with a million warnings about what she MIGHT do! 🤣 Turns out Mabel was an absolute dream so they must have been brilliant at looking after her. I had regular updates and pictures. Timings were sorted out easily and we kept in touch via Whatsapp. Joanne has a really secure garden - which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving her there. It felt like a home from home setting. I have two children of my own and Joanne's two seemed to love her as much as her own. They were super excited to have her. She was allowed upstairs and just slipped into their family life. She had plenty of walks and was fed well. I wouldn't hesitate at using Jo again! Thanks guys! 🐾🐾”
“Shadia took my beagle boy Uno overnight and he had a brilliant time. As anyone who knows the breed will tell you, beagles aren’t the easiest! But Shadia was great with him, regularly sending pictures and giving me updates on how he was getting on. Uno also got on brilliantly with Shadia’s retriever, Skye (who is absolutely lovely) and they clearly played endlessly. He came home the next day and went straight into nap mode! Can thoroughly recommend Shadia and will use her services again in future. 😊”
“My previous experience on Rover (not with Eleanor and Raymond) was horrific, which left me hesitant to leave my dog, Genie, with anybody... When I met Eleanor and Raymond for a meet and greet, they were shocked, compassionate and reassuring - I got a sense they were a good fit for me and Genie. Before the main booking, we agreed to do a trial sleepover to make sure everybody was a good fit and it went great! Eleanor and Raymond are both lovely, I now have peace of mind knowing Genie will be in safe hands going forward”
“Our dog (Cookie) really enjoyed herself staying with Murali and his family. Cookie is a very lively but very friendly GSD and settled with their own dog and another, especially playing chase around their large garden. We would have no hesitation in recommending this boarder to anyone.”
“Ellie gave us real confidence that our dog was in safe hands. The way she manages her own dog is exactly how we would expect. Her dog was very friendly and seemed at ease having a guest dog in the house.. She listened to my pet parent fears and was prepared for everything. 100% recommend!”
“Caroline poked after my boy so well! He loves going for his stay which makes it so much easier! Caroline always looks after him so well and she is amazing!😃 Thank you Caroline!”
“Louise and her family were all one could want from someone being entrusted to take care of a beloved dog; friendly, playful, caring, considerate and communicative. You should definitely allow your dogs to spend time with Louise; they will thank you for it! I wholeheartedly recommend Louise.”

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! My partner George and I recently bought our first home in Eastleigh, and we’re both huge dog lovers. While our work commitments mean we can’t have a dog of our own right now, we’d love to help others by providing caring and reliable dog walking and sitting services. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, from a Border Collie to a Lhasa Apso/Yorkie mix, and now a lovely litte Poochon. I’m very used to grooming needs and making sure coats are well cared for. I also regularly help care for family dogs, including Labradors, so I’m confident with both small and large breeds. Having experienced every stage of a dog’s life, I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as giving extra patience, attention, and love to older dogs. I work full-time across four days a week, which means I’m fully available on Tuesdays and weekends. On my days off, your dog will have my full attention. I’ll always stick to your routine and make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for—whether that’s during a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I’m happy to provide as many walks as your dog needs, along with plenty of playtime and attention. They’ll also have access to a secure garden and a safe, dog-friendly home environment. I have a fully fenced, secure garden and plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. I’m also happy to take dogs out in the car for longer walks or new environments if they enjoy that. I always aim to follow your preferences and routine to make sure you feel completely comfortable. My home does have stairs, but these can be safely blocked off if needed. Dogs are welcome to settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. You’re very welcome to bring their bed, crate, blankets, or anything familiar from home. If your dog is used to cuddling up on the sofa, they’ll be more than welcome to do the same here!

“Chip had a great time staying with Lauren’s family for a few nights. He had lots of fun playing with his ball and long walks. Lauren was incredibly welcoming and I would hesitate to book again!”
“Wardah has been amazing with our elderly dog, Minu, who was clearly very comfortable with her. She recognised and accommodated Minu's needs perfectly. Communication was great, and we received lots of lovely updates throughout the stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Wardah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Be. Stepped in last minute to have my mums dog Buddy while she had a stint in hospital. Buddy loves cuddles I know Ben made sure he felt safe and secure and made sure he got a decent walk once it had cooled down. Thanks Ben. 🙏”
About: My partner Jacob and I have both had dogs all our lives. We have had Staffies, boxers, spaniels, cross breeds. You name it! We love dogs. We also love and really advocate for dog training knowledge. We are very safe and responsible dog owners and know a lot about dog body language and behaviour. We will always make sure our day revolves around the dogs! They’ll get plenty of exercise, but we love to play with the dogs too - if they want it! Whether that’s a game of chase, tug, or find it. We love to mentally stimulate dogs as it’s so good for their brain. We love a game of hide and seek. Me and my partner work full time but both have the luxury to work from home. I do 2 days a week and my partner can work from home whenever. My work is very flexible and I live a 10 minute walk (1 minute drive) from my office so can attend to the dogs whenever. I am out in the morning for my exercise and my partner does his in the evening, so one of us is always home with the dog! We love to get out steps in before work and after too, so we always get out with the dogs. We have concrete fenced garden with a secure gate. We have doors inside the house that if we open the front door, we ensure the dogs are kept behind a closed door so they cannot get out. We make sure the dogs have everything they need and easy access. We are very tidy and don’t leave mess around or anything for dogs to chew on etc.
