“Delighted with the care Hannah provided for our puppy Bella. She had a great stay. Hannah demonstrated a caring and considered attitude towards doggy day care, taking the time to meet us all beforehand to have a chat, introduce Bella and explain what would happen if there were any emergencies etc. Something I’d not even considered myself. Will definitely use again, thank you!”

About: Hi my name is Ellisia! A little about me, I was very luck to have Fostered 8-10 rescues from Europe in my home as a volunteer for a new leash for life charity (Hampshire based dog charity) in 2023. And rescued one of those of my own who is now a lover. Dog grooming assistant qualified, at Chichester college. I handled dog breeds or all shapes and sizes. And can bath, groom and trim nails. 2 months volunteering in Thailand in a dog sanctuary back in 2020. When I assisted with the running of the dog rescue centre. Bathing, feeding and comforting new rescues. And walking the resident dogs. Owned my own dog for 1 year now! And grew up with a family dog ( a Norfolk terrier) for 17years from the age of 11-28, she sparked my love for animals and dogs that’s for sure. Have been walking and sitting dogs for the last 2 years approximately along side my job which is work from home. With the intention to eventually do this full time.

Lu Lu went swimming for the first time during her stay, which is fantastic. Both Lu Lu & Janeiro have come home very happy and content. I would certainly recommend Harriet to look after your dogs. Thank you so much. Here’s wishing you a Happy Christmas & a Prosperous 2019”

Why choose Fur-Ever Friends Southsea? – Local, reliable, and fully insured – Experienced with a wide range of pets – Committed to providing calm, kind, and attentive care If you're looking for a dependable sitter who treats your pets like their own, feel free to get in touch. I currently work from home but I have always spare time to play, walk and feed your pet. They will come first and I will make sure they have the best time when in my care Dogs are treated as part of the family at my house and they have full roam of my place. They are allowed on the sofas. Dogs will always be walked for at least one hour per walk. They will be played with by me, feed and well looked after. I would prefer to stay in the pet owners home if away for longer than 24hrs due to less stress on the pet.

“Thank you so much Sam for taking care of Dudley on the occasion of our son’s wedding. Prior to dog sitting, Sam agreed for an initial meeting & easily bonded with Dudley & reassured us that he would be well taken care of and he certainly was, keeping us updated with messages & even sending photos. We would recommend Sam & will certainly have no hesitation with booking with him in the future Many Thanks from us & Dudley 🐾”

“We left our pug Nell over night with Stefan and she had a great time and was lovingly looked after. Nell is a crazy pug and they managed her perfectly and gave her lots of fuss. Stefan sent me photo and video and kept me updated on how she was doing. I would recommend Stefan without any doubt and will definitely call on him again to look after Nell. Thank you Stefan.”

“Hailey was above and beyond what I could have hoped when looking after my Sprocker Buddy. I had amazing messages and pictures every day of all his adventures, he was taken on the most amazing walks and treated like one of the family. He was definitely sad to leave at the end of his stay! Will absolutely be booking again in the future ☺️”

About: family and friends have always known me as a big animal lover with a calm and attentive personality. I have extensive experience caring for both large and small dog breeds, from messy puppies and energetic dogs to senior dogs with additional needs. Over the years, I've owned dogs myself and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, exercise needs, and routines. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for neighbours cats and other small animals of my own. I am currently a part-time student and as a result have a lot of flexibility in my daily routine to incorporate pet care without a hassle so I can pay more than enough attention to your fur babies :) In my current home I have a fenced off garden, though it is on the smaller side so I am more than happy to take your dogs on walks multiple times a day. I always make sure that pets are well-fed and watered and have time to walk, run and play about during the day and if they’re senior I am happy to take things slower and attend to any additional needs they might have as I have previously owned senior dogs (13-16) myself and understand they sometimes require extra attention. I always make sure to clean up after pets and i am comfortable with crating so long as crate is provided.

“Leona was amazing from start to finish. A huge friendly welcome she made the dogs at home immediately. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout and the dogs enjoyed walks in parks and on the beach. They’ve had the best time.”

About: I have a Level 2 Pet First Aid qualification. My main experience is with cats (please see cat care details). I have walked small and medium dogs and have popped in at short notice for pet parents. I have a car and can take them anywhere you would like for a walk. I have experience administering medication. I also have experience with muzzles. I work full time as a civil servant, Monday to Friday. I have a 1 hour lunch break between 1-2pm. I am available for early morning walks and feeding between 6-8am and can do anytime after 5pm for as long as required. I have full availability most weekends as long as booked in advance. I will now be able to keep pets in my home overnight house both cats and dogs as I live in a house with a garden. In your home I will be able to follow any instructions given.

About: I have been a proud dog owner since I was young. I currently have two dogs a greyhound and a collie. Both enjoy long walks and regular exercise. I enjoy teaching them some cool tricks and we visit some lovely places such as the beach, woods and local parks.I have taken care of puppies right through to elderly dogs and have experience with challenging and reactive dogs. I work from home a lot and can accommodate around your needs. I spend a lot of time with my dogs and we have exercise everyday fitted into the daily routine I am happy to care for your pups with arrangement in advance. I can offer walks, feeds, daily checks, exercise, and overnight care- please note I offer a 15 min meet and greet at your home or locally if you are a new client to observe your pets where they are most comfortable and to discuss how you would like me to care for your pet and the duties you wish me to do. All dogs will be walked separately. I am flexible and can work from home a lot. I am able to offer short stays at present such as long weekends for day care or sitting depending on dates and preferences. Please bear in mind the house sitting hours schedule I currently work on is 8pm/9pm-8am/9am (distance dependent) and if you require an additional drop in visit/walk throughout the day time this will usually be mid/late afternoon for 30 minutes-1 hour before returning to your property in the evening to sit overnight. I do not offer 24/7 in the home during the day time when house sitting due to outside commitments but they will be exercised well and receive great interaction throughout. Please e sure this is the correct house sitting schedule for your pets before you book to avoid disappointment as I cannot guarantee I can remain in your home all day on a house sit without going out for a short while. Dependent on distance petrol/travel costs will be additional charge (usually 10 miles plus) I have a garden and have access to close by parks, beach and woodland areas. We often drive to the woods or hills if we want a longer walk. I have private sitter insurance. I work but can be flexible. I offer a lot more free time over weekends and half terms dependent on the needs of the dog. I do not offer home boarding at this time. I do enjoy offering house sitting in your home subject to dates and needs of the pet.

About: I grew up with dogs until I went to University and I've always loved being around them as well as other pets. All my family still have dogs and I enjoy looking after them when they go away. For some reason I find they are always happy to come and curl up beside me. The breeds I have experience with are Springer Spaniels, Labradors and a Yorkshire Terrier. Current family/friends pets which I occasionally look after are, Cocker Spaniels, Collie/Lab cross and another Yorkshire Terrier. I sometimes cat sit for my friends two tabby cats too. Having been around dogs a lot, has allowed me to develop a good understanding of their differing needs and personalities. This can be in terms of energy levels, feeding requirements, exercising and sleeping/resting. I am able to help administer medication if required. I'd hope that this experience would reassure potential pet owners that their animals would be in safe hands. I am a work from home Operations Manager for an international medical charity which I've been doing for nearly 5 years now. At times I deploy overseas in response to humanitarian crises. My interests include, hobbies such as travelling, hiking, swimming, tennis, gym/classes, as well as relaxing with tv/films or a good book. My work and independent lifestyle makes it difficult to have my own pets at this time but it does allow for caring for yours when I am working from home. Going out for my daily walks with some furry company would be great so getting their exercise in which is aligned to their routines won’t be a problem. I own my house in Southsea and I am a clean and very tidy person. Pets would be allowed downstairs in the lounge and dining room and there is an outside fenced garden if they need to be let out in-between walks. I like quiet spaces and I am often found sprucing up my garden and tending to pot plants. I'd be happy to help keep your house maintained and plants alive too if I’m house sitting for you, or if popping in to take out for dog walks or for feeding.

“Nikola was fantastic! Basil and Pilau had an amazing time. They were both looked after very well and we received many photo updates of how they were doing. Would definitely recommend Nikola to anyone!”

“Mark was amazing with Buster. He sent us photos and videos of how Buster was getting on which really helped put us at ease with it being his first time away from home. Thank you so much Mark 💛”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 5, had multiple dogs at a time, also cared for other animals/pets. Have had dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Currently own a beautiful dachshund boy called Monty. Monty would be at the property whilst your pet is staying with us. He is playful and enjoys company, he can be a little loud at first but he’s a friend for life once you get used to him. We would love to find some friendly happy doggies to play in our garden, chase balls, and share a treat with Monty. I’ve owned big dogs, little dogs, naughty dogs, loud dogs, puppies and senior dogs, well experienced all around. I work from home most Mondays and Fridays and sometimes other days through the week, can host dogs most weekends. My partner Daniel will also be at the property when he is not at work, Daniel has owned dogs since a was a child also, mainly large dog breeds however has owned Monty our dachshund with me for the last 4 years. When at home he will assist with dog walks and regular toilet breaks as well as playtime. Weekends I wouldn’t be working so could do long dog walks, drive to a nice location and take the dogs for a longer potentially off lead walk (if recall trained and safe to do so). The property is safe and secure, lovely area with friendly neighbours who often look out for one another. Dogs will be on lead for any dog walks around the area at all times, however can roam in and out of garden as they wish in the property. On weekends could potentially take dogs to a safe space for off lead runs if suitable however would need to discuss recall, obedience etc with owner prior to ensure dog safety.

About: I trained my own dog back home in Ireland from a stray to becoming the family favourite. More recently I’ve helped take care of my girlfriends cat (also back home) Due to university I’ll be out of the house for around an hour and a half each day for my lectures except for the weekends, other than that I spend all day at home studying, relaxing or we go out for a walk or run. Adding a dog or cat would make things more like home and help overall. P.s (while I’m in university my girlfriend can care for the pet) Although I’ve never crated my pets I’m open to purchasing one in order to accommodate any pets that prefer it as a safe space. All pets are allowed on furniture and will be given all the attention. I can ensure regular bathroom breaks and I understand accidents happen in a new setting so nothing to worry about in that regard.

“Iliyana was amazing as a sitter for our 9 month old puppy. Since he’s never been left with anyone outside of the family before, we were obviously nervous! Iliyana put our minds at ease and sent regular updates, photos and videos. He always looked well loved, well cared for and happy. I would highly recommend Iliyana as a sitter, and would definitely use her service again!”

“Denni and Liam were both amazing when looking after Milo for 2 nights. Could not recommend them more. I will 100% be booking again, would not trust Milo with anyone else! Milo looked very happy and comfortable in pictures that were sent to us. Thank you Denni and Liam for such a positive experience.”

“Georgie and Will were really great with Ted, he came home very happy and slept like a baby. Comms was great throughout. It was nice for him to share a home with such nice spaniels too. They were incredibly accommodating, I can’t thank them enough and would absolutely use them again.”
