“This is the second time we have used Murali to look after our dog and once again they didn’t disappoint. We received lots of updates, pictures and videos letting us know how Tilly was throughout her stay. It was clear that she got lots of cuddles, care and love. Your pet will be in good hands with Murali!”
“Gracie was obviously very happy in Eleanor's care. She is usually wary of new people but a walk with some water splashing and a session of ball throwing in the garden made all the difference. I'll be very happy to use Eleanor's services again”
“Monica is an excellent dog carer, always updating us about our lovely doggo, and she answered my messages pretty fast with pictures as well. She is a lovely person and Lola had a great time with her. I highly recommend Monica.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Lynn, and Reggie couldn’t have felt more at home. Thank you so much for making him feel so welcome and settled in your home. We will be using Lynn to care for Reggie again and would highly recommend her!”
“Shadia was brilliant she kept me updated the whole weekend. Benji enjoyed his time there and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shadia to anyone. Thank you so much for looking after Benji for us xx”
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!
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you for making are boy feel welcomed and comfortable. We are very happy and grateful that you took good care of him. When daddy dropped him off he said how wonderful you were with him giving him lots of fuss and attention. We can see by photos he had a great stay and will definitely use you again. Highly recommend 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.”
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.
About: I currently have two chihuahuas of my own so I know how to look after small breeds and understand their needs. I have previously had Spaniels, Labradors and mixed breed dogs, so I am well versed in caring for all dogs. I am looking to go part time in the future, but I currently work shifts so can be flexible particularly around other shift workers. Just ask and I can check my availability. I love all animals, and any pet coming into our home will be treated and cared for as if they were my own. There are no children in the house so pets will be the primary focus. If I am in your home, I will look after your pet as per your wishes and make them feel comfortable.
“Louise was a fantastic dog sitter for Ruby!! Would highly recommend to anyone, she sent regular photos and updates of how Ruby was getting on. Lots of walks and snuggles which is ruby’s favorite thing. Louise was super easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Thanks so much Louise for looking after Ruby and giving her the best holiday!”
“Excellent pet carers. Winter loved staying with them as evidenced by the photos we received throughout his stay. They asked all the right questions and were very diligent when I dropped Winter off. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Victoria is a fantastic dog sitter. Our springer spaniel, Taffy, is full of beans but very sweet. And Victoria made sure she got plenty of walks and loads of affection. She also posted some beautiful pics of Taffy exploring the Hampshire countryside and relaxing at home, which we found very reassuring as we were traveling far from our beloved pooch. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“David was brilliant. He is a real natural with dogs. Juno was very happy with him, he followed her routines and he kept me well informed. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“Our lovely Labrador had the best holiday for two weeks with Shelley and family. He was welcomed and well cared for and great communication with updating us along the way. I would recommend highly to anyone for complete peace of mind your furry family member is being cared for to the best standards. Will be calling on Shelley again in the future.”

Bella was happy with Caroline; the photos and text updates sent to me while away clearly evidenced Bella was contented. Caroline looked after our home fantastically, the place was lovely and clean when we walked back in, with spring daffodils really appreciated. I would highly recommend Caroline for your pet and house sitting and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks Caroline.”
“Eirian was very friendly, professional and she listened to every instructions I gave her for my dog Pixel. He is reactive to the doorbell, can be agressive when I receive guests and she was great. We did some exercises with the doorbell, I invited her in the house a few times and Pixel’s reactivity really improved.”

I had updates each visit, including photos and videos of the cats playing and purring away. This is the first time I have used Rover and would definitely use the service again! Pablo is highly recommended and I will definitely book him again if required.”
“Was nervous leaving willow for the 1st time. We felt it better to keep in in his own familiar surroundings. We found Rover and contacted Natalie, who answered promptly and arranged to pop around to meet Willow. Natalie was punctual and I could tell instantly that she’d be great and Willow would be in safe hands. Natalie popped in 2x daily as agreed and I received daily updates. I could not have been happier with her. We had no WiFi signal and my messages to her were always undelivered. I didn’t panic (as would have been my usual behaviour in this instance) as I received and read daily updates (with photos) . Willow was completely at ease with Natalie and looked as though he didn’t miss us at all 🤷♀️ We had a 9 hour drive home from our holiday which incurred regular half hourly outbursts by me wondering if the cat was going to hate us for leaving him😵💫 We arrived home, I left my partner to unpack all the car and went straight indoors to see Willow, who was lounging, but got up to ask for dinner. It was as though we had never been away. I could not recommend her highly enough and 5* are not enough 🐈😊”
“John was amazing with Thor. I am a “pet mum” full of requests and reminders , lists on the wall and especially i request a continues update. John gave me everything I requested and he was really caring and affectionate with Thor🥰 I was a little apprehensive about many things cause although Thor is not a Huge dog is anyway a dog of a certain size, I have nothing but good words about him and I will for sure book him again in the future.”
“A big thanks to Amy for providing regular updates and ensuring Odie was well cared for whilst we were away. He's nervous around strangers and we really appreciated how patient she was with him. Amy was friendly and helpful throughout her time as sitter. 5 star service!”

About: I have been a dog owner since childhood, some 40+ years. Dogs of all shapes and sizes. Ranging from a Jack Russell to a Great Dane. Having lost our Ellie some months ago, I have a huge hole to fill. Knowing how hard it is to find sitters that can give them the love and attention they need while their mummy's and daddy's are away. I can offer a loving, comfortable home where they will be the centre of attention with lots of cuddles on the sofa, playtime and walks. I have just given up my job to make dog sitting my main priority. So they will have company the whole time they are with us. I have a fully fenced medium size garden. They will have access to the whole downstairs during the day. And may sleep upstairs at night if they prefer. Lots of parks nearby for walks.
“This was Hector's first time at day care and he clearly had a great time! We got some lovely photo updates from Ash and had total confidence that pup was in good hands. We've already booked his next stay ❤️”
“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.”

About: Ive had experience of caring for most types of animals in my life. I am a massive animal lover and enjoy looking after all types of animal. If there is an animal about, thats where you will find me! I have 2 pet boy bunnies of my own who I adore and there are 3 dogs and a hamster in the wider family. I am a nurse by profession and from as young as 11, have enjoyed looking after other people's pets. I would often have a pet come and stay or be off to feed an animal. I am unable to have pets stay in my house other than a hamster/mouse/rat/gerbil. I am more than willing to do dog walking and pet pop ins. I offer a bespoke service tailored to the needs of you and your pet. I also have experience of looking after older pets with medical requirements such as medicines they may need. I pride myself on attention to detail and being reliable. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I am also happy to do plant watering, fish feeding, and other little jobs that you require whilst away. Please note, I am unable to do Mon, Tues and Fridays due to my work. However, if you require a pop in or dog walk on these days I could do 6 am and or after 6pm. Thank you for reading. Bev I work 3 days a week as a nurse. However, I am more than happy and able to do pop ins pre and post shift on those days. The other 4 days of the week I can be available any time. Regardless of the day, your pet will get my time and attention. I am not able to have most pets in my house due to the bunnies. I could look after a hamster/gerbil/rat for example. I am highly respectful of people's homes and property and would maintain the utmost security and care of your property if I was doing pop ins for you.
“Biscuit loved Molly as soon as he met her and you can tell that Molly has lots of experience with dogs! Molly kept us posted with lots of photos and Biscuit was really happy and relaxed when I got home. I would definitely recommend Molly to anyone!”
“I couldn't recommend Matt enough! He is someone who genuinely cares for your pet and is great at communicating with us. He adapted effortlessly to my dog’s needs and made the whole experience feel calm and positive. It’s very clear how much he loves what he does.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs (since the age of 5) and continued to own one as an adult so have over 30+ years experience. More recently, I have helped care for my sons’ elderly Patterdale and also joined a dog walking site that enabled me to borrow dogs to walk on a regular basis and have sat for friends dogs too. I’m currently retired so have loads of free time for pet sitting and/or dog walking and can often accept short notice assignments according to need. As I offer a pet sitting service in owners homes, I am happy to comply with owners rules concerning their pet’s routines and safety etc. I’m patient and understanding with nervous dogs and happy to sit quietly and offer cuddles or play ball games outside with energetic dogs. I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and so I offer individualised care to every one.
About: I’m a big animal lover and have had pets growing up. I’m comfortable with understanding dog behaviour and I’ve volunteered for Greyhound Trust (1 year) and Dog’s Trust (1 year), and I also completed a dog behavioural course at Dog’s Trust. All three of the dogs (whippets and whippet crosses) my family have owned have been rescued and all dogs were house trained and taught tricks. I also have experience handling several different dog breeds and can provide tailored house sitting to fit your pet’s needs. I’ve just returned from 6 months of travelling and am currently looking for fulltime work so I have all the time to look after and play with your pets! I’m also available most days of the weeks so let me know when you want me to pop by! I can cater to your pet’s needs! If your pet needs long or short walks, enrichment toys, medication given at specific times (e.g tablets), or even a cuddle, just let me know your/their preferences and I’ll do what I can for your pet.
“Amber is great, trust worthy and takes good care of my Zhanshi whilst I'm at the office. Amber took to Zhanshi well and the same for Zhanshi 🙂. I get photos from the walk and the walk cards are really good. I come home to a happy Zhanshi.”
About: Hi, I’m Eliza and I’m 19. I’ve had a golden cocker spaniel in the household for about 5 years now - we got her in 2021, when she was 4 months old (an adorable tiny puppy!) and I was 14. She’s now 5 years old so I’ve pretty much grown up with her, so I have experience with dogs of all different ages. I would prefer to look after small and medium-sized dogs and I’m used to them pulling on the lead (my dog does it all the time!) but open to walking larger dogs too, as long as they aren’t too strong on the lead. I’m used to long walks since cocker spaniels are an active and lively breed! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I’m a student at Southampton university, currently in my first year, so I’m pretty flexible with timings. I’m free at various times on weekdays, and most weekends, but I’ll be updating my calendar regularly to show specific availability. I grew up with a dog (Toffee) and a cat (Noodle). On my profile, the first 6 photos are me with my dog (ranging from adulthood, and a picture of her as a puppy in the last of the 6 photos); the rest of the photos are me with my cat (also ranging from when he was a kitten - the first two photos, when I was much younger too! - to adulthood.) Therefore, I am well-versed when it comes to caring for both cats and dogs. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I knew what a dog was. I have always dreamed of having my own dog and since bringing home my own pup, I just want to spend time with dogs, be it walking, spending time with, or a bit of training. I am confident with all breeds, behaviours, and energy levels. I love them all I’m currently working full time from home but due to its flexibility (and a long chat with boss man), I am able to commit to dog walks and drop ins during the day. I am fully flexible at weekends I have a fenced garden with a young German shepherd pup. He is crate trained and has plenty of garden space to run around. We do a lot of enrichment and training throughout the day to work his brain, making walks a bonus to burn off a little energy
“Michelle is very good with our dog and he is very calm when we come home. She is very knowlegable and observant, if she notices anything about him she lets us know. Bruno enjoys the games she plays with him in the garden.”
“Hayleigh was absolutely fabulous with luna . Came to meet before and took the time to get to know lunas routine . Very reliable , luna was very looked after , and would highly recommend Hayleigh to anyone who is looking for a regular walker and boarder. We had communication through out booking and the walk . Loved having pictures and seeing lunas have fun while I couldn’t be with her . Thank you Hayleigh , will definitely be booking luna in again some time soon .”
About: Hi, I’m Daniel — a compassionate and reliable pet sitter based in Southampton. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats and small pets, and they’ve always been a huge source of joy for me. There’s something special about being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for. I’ve looked after pets for friends, family and colleagues, including dogs, cats and rabbits. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs a good walk, a nervous pet who needs patience, or a senior animal who needs a gentler approach, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m naturally calm, attentive and caring, but also playful when the situation calls for it. I genuinely love what I do, and nothing beats seeing a pet relaxed, happy and thriving in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I work from home most of the week, which gives me good flexibility during the day. I’m typically available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends, and I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks or check-ins to make sure pets get consistent care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I can also adapt to different routines, whether that’s morning visits, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always prioritise keeping their routine and environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided, from feeding and walks to any specific behaviours or needs, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything clean and tidy, and ensure doors, gates and any safety measures are properly managed at all times. I stay attentive to each pet’s behaviour and wellbeing, and I’m always prepared to respond calmly if anything unexpected arises. I also keep owners updated regularly, so they can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have had dogs all my life and cared for my family’s pets as a teenager. As we have a dog ourselves our home and lifestyle is 100% dog friendly. We have lots of lovely walks local to us and enjoy getting out and exploring together! I’m currently working part time and so am around to walk and care for your dog Thursday to Sunday. While they’re with Harry and I, your dog will get 2 walks a day and have someone in the house with them all of the time to keep them company. We have a fully fenced garden and a very friendly dog who enjoys the company of other dogs. Our toddler also loves playing in the garden and throwing the ball for anyone that wants to join in.
About: Hi I’m Mykala — a professional and friendly pet sitter and dog walker based in Eastleigh and surrounding areas. I’ve gained hands on experience through working at dog daycare, boarding and training dogs for college and volunteering at vets, which helped me build a solid understanding of dog behaviour, body language and basic obedience. I’ve just finished my 1st year veterinary nursing but am taking a break to focus on more on my business. I have experience with old, young, reactive and everything in between. As this is my full-time job. I may occasionally need to step out briefly to attend to other clients during the day. If your pet has separation anxiety or requires constant care and can’t be left alone more than a couple hours, I’m still more than happy to help, this would simply be shown in a higher price to accommodate for the additional time and attention they need. I am able to administer medication if needed, I’m currently doing my canine first aid qualification and have basic animal behaviour qualification for the animals who need extra care and support
About: We lost our rescue Springer Spaniel Roxy in December. She was with us for 13 years and when we rescued her she was over weight, had hip problems and was scared of men. Soon she was slim, learnt how to swim and won a rosette for best rescue dog at a local country show. She loved walking in the woods close to use and the beach walks we took her on and we miss the joy she brought to us on those days. The house is quiet and whilst we are not yet ready to replace her we would love to share some of our love with a few furry guests. I sometimes also look after my friends black lab called Misty who is a tea drinking nutcase!! I work for myself and most of the time from home. If it was necessary for me to have to work from a Clients premises for a day this would be scheduled in advance so I would not take on a dog whose stay would be affected by this. In the case of an emergency however my husband Mark is able to work from home or has even been known to take Roxy in to his office for different tickles! We have a large garden which is fenced and entrances fitted with gates. Any pet we care for would have free reign of this space. Depending on the needs of the dog we would walk it as often as requested and keeps it's mealtime routine. we were always strict with treats for Roxy but again would adapt to the owners requests
“John is fantastic with our very energetic, boisterous lab. Maple clearly loves the walks and is very excited when John arrives. He takes her such varied, long walks and we are very grateful-will definitely be booking again.”
About: Hi! My name is Pablo. I am a nurse and I loved animals since I was a kid! I currently have two lovely sphynx cat. I love all kinds of pets from furry ones to .I have helped my aunt on her vet surgery my whole life. I would love to meet your fur babies and when they're with me I'll love them as if they're my own. I am happy to cover Eastleigh area but also places nearby. My schedule is different every week as I am nurse. But I will be happy to fit. When caring for pets, whether in my home or the pet owner’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any medications they may need. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs so I can provide personalized attention and affection.
About: I have grown up around dogs since I was 10. I have done boarding and doggy day care for friends and family since, even more now that I'm working from home. Working towards my Level 1, 2 & 3 Diploma in Animal Care, Dog First Aid & Dog Training. I work from home with plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles and updates throughout the day. I am available for boarding most of the week, or all week if your dog is comfortable alone for a few hours in the day between toilet breaks. I have an open front garden and plenty of green areas around for walks and toilet breaks. I have no children but I do have an Iggy. He is happy to play or curl up in his bedroom, giving your dog the space to roam, chill or play depending on their needs.

“This is the second time we have used Murali to look after our dog and once again they didn’t disappoint. We received lots of updates, pictures and videos letting us know how Tilly was throughout her stay. It was clear that she got lots of cuddles, care and love. Your pet will be in good hands with Murali!”
“Gracie was obviously very happy in Eleanor's care. She is usually wary of new people but a walk with some water splashing and a session of ball throwing in the garden made all the difference. I'll be very happy to use Eleanor's services again”
“Shadia was brilliant she kept me updated the whole weekend. Benji enjoyed his time there and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shadia to anyone. Thank you so much for looking after Benji for us xx”
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!
“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!”
“Thank you for making are boy feel welcomed and comfortable. We are very happy and grateful that you took good care of him. When daddy dropped him off he said how wonderful you were with him giving him lots of fuss and attention. We can see by photos he had a great stay and will definitely use you again. Highly recommend x”
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.
“Louise was a fantastic dog sitter for Ruby!! Would highly recommend to anyone, she sent regular photos and updates of how Ruby was getting on. Lots of walks and snuggles which is ruby’s favorite thing. Louise was super easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Thanks so much Louise for looking after Ruby and giving her the best holiday!”
“Excellent pet carers. Winter loved staying with them as evidenced by the photos we received throughout his stay. They asked all the right questions and were very diligent when I dropped Winter off. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Victoria is a fantastic dog sitter. Our springer spaniel, Taffy, is full of beans but very sweet. And Victoria made sure she got plenty of walks and loads of affection. She also posted some beautiful pics of Taffy exploring the Hampshire countryside and relaxing at home, which we found very reassuring as we were traveling far from our beloved pooch. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“David was brilliant. He is a real natural with dogs. Juno was very happy with him, he followed her routines and he kept me well informed. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“Our lovely Labrador had the best holiday for two weeks with Shelley and family. He was welcomed and well cared for and great communication with updating us along the way. I would recommend highly to anyone for complete peace of mind your furry family member is being cared for to the best standards. Will be calling on Shelley again in the future.”
“Mea and family were very welcoming with Mace and put us at ease straight away! We had regular updates and looked like he had plenty of fun there. Would recommend and use again! Thanks for looking after Mace for us!”
“Buddy came back from his stay so calm and happy! Absolutely pampered pooch, couldn't be more happy with the care he has received this weekend and I got lots of messages and photos to reassure me :)”
“We needed someone locally to board our dog Darwin for one day/night at short notice and fortunately Hugo was available. When we dropped off Darwin we new straight away that he would be well looked after. We would definitely use Hugo again.”
About: I have grown up with many animals including dogs and I feel they are part of our family. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I understand their phycology and love training them. I have cared for my families and my friends dogs of all sizes, from staffies, french bull dogs to giant schnauzers. My dog Bertie is very well behaved, calm and relaxed though he has a lot of energy and loves his outdoor adventures. He is very happy sharing his home for stop overs and day play mates. I am retired from working within the NHS and love being a home body. Thereby I am able to offer an excellent service in providing a loving, caring and safe home from home experience for your dog. I have a safe enclosed rear garden with a massive open space right next door which is a great safe area to run and play in. My home life is relaxed and peaceful, providing a calm, safe place for your dog to stay. I'm blessed to live in an area of natural beauty with plenty of lovely woodland walks right on my door step.
About: Ive looked after Friends and familys dogs im a full time dad and have lot of spare time and enjoy going for dog walks as im home all the time I’m a proud single dad to two wonderful girls and a loving Staffie cross, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been a true dog lover and understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe, caring hands. We love spending time outdoors, with regular walks through the local woods, along the river, and exploring the trees and countryside. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or a more relaxed stroll, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I offer a genuine home-from-home experience, where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I’ll follow their usual daily routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of cuddles and companionship, helping them feel comfortable, happy, and settled while you’re away. I have a fenced back garden but like to take the dogs for regualar walks and can be crated if you choose too i try to offer a home to home expierience
“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!”
