Dog Boarding Abbotswood

“Gracie was obviously very happy during her stay with Eleanor. She kept me informed on how the stay was going with plenty of photos. Gracie was well exercised and had lots of attention which she loves. I would be more than happy to ask Eleanor to look after Gracie again”

“Lynn was amazing from start to finish. She took such great care of Robyn, like she was her own. Excellent communications. I could not recommend Lynn enough and we will definitely call on her in the future.”

“Murali was absolutely wonderful - he took our whippet, Poppet, at short notice and looked after her beautifully. He sent lots of photos and videos whilst she was staying with him and his family, and was highly responsive at all times. I would definitely recommend him and will book Poppy in again with him whenever possible.”

“Andy's awesome at what he does. I left Dukey with him for a week and then again for a night, lots of cuddles and updates throughout the day. He also makes sure to provide reassurance where needed instead of making it a panic situation overall if your pet feels a bit off, will definitely book again for Dukey!!”

About: I have 2 female labradors in the house (5 years and her daughter 1 year). I have bred a litter and so am experienced looking after young puppies. I’m retired, so I’m in the house most of the day. My dogs get taken on safe enclosed walks an hour long each day. I have a big house/garden for the dogs to relax and play in. I’m up around 8am and go for an hours walk with the dogs around 9-10am Pottering around the garden during the day Afternoon walk with the dogs (hot weather depending, else it’s a walk after 9pm) I’m retired and so lots of time can be spent with the dogs. I have a large fenced garden and 2 lovely tempered female Labradors (5 and 1) I’ll treat your pet like my own and they will have full roaming of garden and house I have stair gates, if you prefer your dogs to stay downstairs

“Ken is 7 months old and this was his first time staying away for the night. He had the best time! Skye was the perfect playmate and kept him so happy and entertained. We received lots of updates and reassurance throughout, which really put our minds at ease. We’re so happy with his stay and will definitely be using Shadia again. Highly recommend!”

“This is the first time using Rover and we are so pleased that we found Sophie and Josh to look after our three year old dog called Nancy for an over night stay. Sophie and Josh are an incredibly kind and warm couple, with a beautiful home and the most cutest dog of dog their own called Theo. I would like to say thank again …. a forever friend Nancy and Gemma xxxx”

“Ellie is so lovely and an amazing dog sitter — caring, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was so happy and well looked after, and the updates gave us real peace of mind. Would highly recommend!”

Cloe H.

“Jade looked after our dog, Winnie, for eight nights, and we couldn't have been happier with the care she received. From the very first communication, Jade was warm, friendly, and reassuring. Winnie had a trial day before her stay, and on both occasions she ran straight in as soon as the front door opened, which told us everything we needed to know! Jade kept us updated throughout Winnie's stay with regular photos, which was greatly appreciated. At no point did I worry about Winnie's welfare, and considering the UK was in the middle of a heatwave, that was especially reassuring. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jade to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog boarder. Winnie was clearly happy and well looked after, and we'll definitely be booking with Jade again”

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!

“Sandra was absolutely amazing. Rupert had the most fun playing with Charlie all weekend. He came back a very happy boy. Sandra was great with sending updates over the weekend and she provided a fantastic environment for him. We will certainly be using her again if the opportunity arose and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Kellie and her family out so sweet. I was nervous as I would never normally leave Pixie with someone without testing it out first but she gave me confidence immediately I contacted her and meeting them I knew Pixie was in good loving hands. Thanks so much for looking after her so well,”

Simon D.

“Caroline was great. She's obviously a real dog person and we felt perfectly at ease leaving our somewhat anxious dog to stay with her. He was clearly well looked after and was given lots of attention. We'll be booking again with her and I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who's dog prefers a calm environment without other dogs around.”

Naomi J.

“Buddy really enjoyed his time with sisi. Herself and her husband treated him with upmost care. He definitely missed them when he came home so I’m just glad he was loved and cared for while we were away. Thank you.”

About: I have been around dogs ever since I was a baby. My nan cared for retired guide dogs for around 20 years, so I developed a strong love and adoration for dogs. My family has owned 2 dogs since I was a child, sadly our last dog passed away 2 years ago and my family and I have felt like a part of us has been missing ever since. No dog could replace our sweet Lionel, he was the most special dog ever, but I decided to start up a dog boarding business as a way to still surround us with dogs. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs many times as favours before I started my business and that’s what really pushed me to have the confidence to do this as a job. If you choose to have me as your dog boarder, you can be assured that your dog will be treated like family and will be given so much love and care. I am available everyday of the week as this is my sole job. I do volunteer most mornings of the week, however I live in a house of 6 people so it is very rare that no one is home. I am fully licensed by Southampton City Council, so my house and garden have been completely approved and catered to suit dog boarding. I also have a Canine First Aid certification, full insurance and DBS checked.

About: Dogs have always played a central role in my life. Having grown up with canine companions, I would gladly have a pack of my own right now if my current schedule allowed it. Since my job involves a mix of remote work and occasional travel, caring for your dogs in the meantime is the absolute next best thing! Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience looking after a wide variety of breeds and sizes, ranging from larger dogs like German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers to smaller or more energetic breeds like Corgis, Cocker Spaniels, Staffies, Cockapoos, and Italian Greyhounds. Because I am home-based for the majority of my work week, your furry family members will have constant company and supervision if you book boarding or doggy daycare. I can also easily adapt my schedule to accommodate flexible dog walking arrangements. Before any stay begins, I always prefer to arrange an initial meet-and-greet so you can visit, check out the space, and feel completely confident about where your pet will be staying. You can count on me to keep your dogs happy, comfortable, and well-cared for, and I will always follow up with plenty of photo updates to give you peace of mind while you are away ! I'm up around 7:30am and go for an hours walk with the dogs around 9-10am Pottering around the garden/working from home during the day. Afternoon walk with the dogs (weather depending, or else it's a walk after 9pm) Your pet will enjoy all the comforts of home, featuring a large fenced garden and two friendly female Labradors (1 and 5 years old). They will have full run of the downstairs areas and outdoor space to play and settle in

“Fiona and her family are just the most amazing sitters…I could not recommend more highly!! Barney was so well looked after and I really hope they would have Barney again as I trust them implicitly xxx”

Kelly A.

“Thank you so much for looking after our dogs, kept us updated with photos which was so lovely to see how happy & safe they were with such lovely people. (maybe too happy as scooby stole the last bit of your dinner 🤦🏻‍♀️) they even took them on a walk as well which is much appreciated. Can’t thank enough🐾”
