“My dog was very happy in the care of Murali and the family. They were very accommodating, kind and caring and kept me updated throughout the day. I am forever grateful for taking such good care of the pooch and will definitely be returning.”

“Pablo had the best day with Sandra, Nick and Charlie their Cockapoo. He’s come home happy and ready for his bed. Comforting to know he was in safe hands and to receive photo and video updates. Would love to book again in the near future.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, we lived in US for 6 years as property managers and worked for Rover whilst out there very successfully with 5* ratings. We regularly have my daughters pug whilst they go away and count him as our own! We can be fully trusted to walk, feed and make a fuss reliably. I work on a shift pattern , some nights and some long days but all time in world on days off , my husband going to join also so weekends always covered We have fenced garden if dog comes here, we have one adorable American cocker spaniel and if in own house then she would come too!
“Barney had a wonderful stay with Jessica. I was kept updated with pictures whilst he was staying with her, We had met up previously so that Jessica could see Barney and get to know him a little better. I felt reassured with the communications which meant I did not have to worry about Barney at all whilst at work. I would happily ask Jessica to look after Barney again”

“Marielle provided exceptional care for our Border Terrier Winnie. Her website clearly shows the facilities and excellent fenced garden. She responded very quickly to our enquiry and was very calm and friendly. Highly recommended by Winnie!”
“Percy had an amazing time with Lynn! She kept us updated through the day with pictures. She had Percy during in the heatwave and took extra care to make sure he was cool. Would definitely recommend Lynn and will be booking again”


“David looked after my Portuguese Water Dog for two days and did an excellent job. He kept me updated with messages and photos. Cooper came home happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for. David was professional, reliable and made Cooper feel comfortable from the start. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Cooper with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, David!”

About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was 14, starting by helping an elderly lady with her dogs. That experience taught me how important patience, reliability, and understanding each dog’s individual needs are. I also have my own Pomeranians, so I’m used to caring for high maintenance breeds that require plenty of attention and exercise. (My dogs will not be there whilst looking after yours) Looking after my own dogs has given me hands on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, an energetic walk, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I’m committed to giving every pet the best possible care. As a teacher, I’m available to walk dogs on weekends throughout the year. During school holidays and half terms, which are frequent, I have much more flexibility and am available for dog sitting, drop in visits, and longer periods of care while you’re away. This means your pet can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship during your holiday bookings, giving you peace of mind that they’re in safe and caring hands. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve recently bought my own home, which has a secure, fully fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, and go to the toilet safely. Inside, my home is clean, calm, and welcoming, with plenty of room for pets to relax. During warmer weather, the house stays nice and cool, helping to keep dogs comfortable and prevent them from overheating. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention, so they feel happy and at home while they’re with me. If your pet is more comfortable in familiar surroundings, I’m also happy to pet sit in your home, ensuring they can stick to their usual routine while receiving the same loving, reliable care.
About: I would love to look after your dog, I live in a fun loving family home with our dog Shelby. I have owned dogs since I was a small child and trained them from puppies. All my immediate family own dogs. When looking after your dog I will take them for two at least one hour walks per day. I have a responsible attitude towards caring for your pet and am not scared to get stuck in. I will ensure there is a safe environment for your pet and make it feel welcome and at home in my house. I’m currently working from home studying so I have plenty of time to play with and walk your dogs. This means I’m around all day so your pets will not be left on their own. I have a fenced garden and will let your dog out on a lead to make sure they are safe and can’t escape. My friendly dog Shelby will be sure to keep them company. We have a crate if which can be used if necessary.
“Chloe was so awesome looking after my cockapoo Teddy, and her cute chihuahua Don was so playful either Teddy. They got along so well. Chloe took Teddy for a long walk which is very much appreciated. He was happy and comfortable. I will definitely book with Chloe again.”

“Brilliant experience for the dogs thank you so much . Victoria provided a caring home from home and all their needs were catered for . Two very contented dogs returned after their walks and day out . I'm sure they will be very keen to return .”

“It was wonderful to see Pao have such a lovely time with Arlo and Jas. I really appreciated the detailed update on their day and the photos were lovely! Jas is the best!”


“Sally was really welcoming towards Hector and a pleasure to meet. You can tell she has a natural flair towards dogs- her own dog, Lois, is lovely and is clearly well cared for. Hectors made a new best friend in Lois and can’t wait to be back! I was updated throughout the day and had no trouble at all.”

About: I have had pets since I was a toddler so I have plenty of experience looking after dogs, cats and much more! I adore animals and tend to get on well with them. Whether you want a drop-in visit, a walk or more, I am happy to help! I am currently on uni holidays so my days are pretty free! In general, I am happy to help in any way with prior notice :) I have a small fenced garden with lots of greenery, I also have a dog and cat at home. In addition, I have lots of long walks nearby!
“Molly-Mae is the best dog-sitter we have ever met. She looked after our dog Macy for the day. Macy was very well-looked after and enjoyed her walks. Prior to the day, Molly-Mae asked all the questions to make sure she knows everything about Macy and she sent us lovely photos and videos to keep us updated throughout the day. A massive thanks to Molly-Mae! We would definitely book again.”

About: I’m a graduate living at home with family currently, I work full time with a remote job and spend most of my free time looking after animals. I’ve been raised with a large variety of pets from dogs to goats. As a family we have rescued 4 dogs and fostered many more, because of this I have a lot of experience with reactive and anxious dogs as well as those who are at risk of running away. I am happy to look after any pet and house sit full time, on occasion I will have to be out of the house for work but never for longer than 3 hours. I started house sitting and looking after pets because I am looking to save for a house and travelling and getting paid to look after animals seemed like a dream. I recently moved back from university and don’t yet have a post grad job. I’m free most weeks for boarding or just drop ins. Message and I’m sure we can work something out. My house is incredibly dog friendly with no foods that could potentially be risky to a dogs health. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, if you would prefer them not to be then a bed and or crate are also available, water bowls and food bowls are also provided. I have a large amount of dog poo bags and spare leads when needed, and there are two front doors so any dogs that like to try and escape will have no chance.
“Brilliant communication from Anthony to help us arrange a last minute day care for us. Del came home happy, tired and well cared for. Great to have the detail of what he'd been up to and photos. Thank you! Would use again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Winchester on Rover is £34.5 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,060 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Winchester. About 87% of Winchester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Winchester commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee.
