“Our labrador had a fabulous time with Murali and his family while we were away this summer. They were so kind and caring, and looked after her beautifully, sending us daily pictures, videos and messages. We are so grateful to them for welcoming her into their home and family life - we know she would love to visit again! Thanks again, Murali.”
“We have had an incredibly positive experience with Eleanor. Her communication and organisation is fantastic and we know without question that the level of care that our dog Bear received whilst we were away was the best of the best. Eleanor is clearly looking to make the experience for both pet and owner as best as it can be and we couldn't be more grateful for her. Thank you for taking such good care of our precious Bear.”
“Lynn and her partner were absolutely fantastic with Mia and made me feel completely at ease. Their home is lovely, with a great-sized garden and really nice walks nearby. They also have the most adorable dog. Mia was made to feel right at home she didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them 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!”
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
“Kellie and family was fantastic with Otis and looked after him so well while we were away. He got on brilliantly with Millie, and it was lovely knowing he had a friend to play with. We really appreciated the updates and the excellent care. Thank you so much, Kellie - we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you 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.”
“Our dog Lulu had a very enjoyable stay with Caroline. Caroline took great care of Lulu, and we would have no hesitation of asking Caroline to look after her again. Thoroughly recommended.”
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
“Extremely happy with the care my dog received during their 10 day stay. I got lovely photos and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m really pleased with the service and would definitely recommend !”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them, from daily walks to understanding their individual personalities and needs. I have a friendly 2-year-old cockapoo called Lucho who absolutely loves the company of other dogs - he’s gentle, non-aggressive, and always eager to play, making him a great companion for visiting pups. He makes the shiest dogs feel as ease and at home. I genuinely enjoy getting out for walks and would love to welcome another dog to join us, giving both them and my own dog the chance for fun, exercise, and socialisation. Your dog will be treated with care, attention, and plenty of affection while they’re with me. Lucho is well trained - house trained, comes back on command, does tricks (sit, paw, other paw, beg, lie down, spin, roll over, kiss) - so if your young pup comes around, I can definitely do some training, or expand on any training already being done at home. I work from home - where I have a large garden and lots of toys for dogs to play in. I work 10am-6pm, and have an hour lunch break in-between, so lots of time for long morning walks, and ample opportunities to allow the doggies to do their business out in the garden. I have a fenced garden at home, and dogs have free roam around the house which is mostly dog-proof. I have a super friendly cockapoo who makes even the grumpiest of pooches to get up and play - so he's happy to keep your fur baby company and ease them into my care.
“Ka Hei C and her husband are great people who truly love and understand dogs. They took great care of my cockapoo, making him feel welcomed and comfortable really understanding his needs. Ka Hei C provides regular updates and feedback about your pet which is reassuring as a pet owner”
“Louise & Jasmine really looked after Milo, I had regular updates in the morning and evening along with some lovely pictures and videos. I felt so relaxed knowing Milo was well cared for and will not hesitate in using them again. ❤️”
“What a delightful, warm lady. Nothing was too much trouble. Kept me informed even though only had intermittent Internet. Boy clearly happy ad when we needed to return to collect his bed ge actually wanted to go back in and initially was refusing to come off the drive, even when door closed. Recommend without hesitation. Would score higher if I could”
“Bailey had his first over overnight stay and Sandra was absolutely brilliant with him. Their house and location is beautiful, offering huge space inside and out so great for an energetic 2 year old Cockapoo! Will definitely rebook when needed.”

About: I have taken care of cats for all my life, I have grown up with them, taking care of their needs and their specific schedules. I have now since living with my partner got a cat of our own.
“Charlotte was fantastic from start to finish. Our cat loved her and she was great at communication sending us lots of photos and videos when she was pet sitting. Charlotte was coming round during a heat wave so made sure our cat had plenty of water to make sure our cat was going to be ok during the hot spell. Thanks again Charlotte 5 star”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our house as planned and looked after our cat so well, he loved her. Laura sent loads of pictures and videos while we were away and it made us feel really relaxed knowing that he was okay and able to remain in his routine. I will definitely be checking in with Laura for future breaks away to see if she is available to sit again. Laura also kept the house really clean and tidy and it was a lovely calm environment to return to. Thank you so much Laura! We couldn’t have been happier with the service that you provided.”
“Dan did a really good job looking after my fur babies. He made every effort to make them feel comfortable and in a routine. I got videos and pictures every day and even TP licked his head- which she never does for new people! Lovely person, would definitely use him for my next trip!”
“Hilary is such a professional. She did 3 drop-in visits while we were on holiday and she took care of our cat, she even rescued our cat that is locked herself in the shower cabin. Hilary was very friendly with our cat and played with her. We are very happy to meet with Hilary. Thank you”
About: I’ve had my cat Coco for over four years, so I’m very used to all the feeding, litter tray cleaning, playtime and random cat behaviour that comes with it! We’ve also boarded cats and dogs in our home before, so I know it can take a little time for pets to settle somewhere new.🐾 I’ve always loved animals and, when I was younger, I also helped look after birds, fish and hamsters. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, give them plenty of attention and send you lots of photos while you’re away.
“Eirian was happy to meet with us first so we could chat through things. She arrived on time. Once we were away, she looked after our cats so well while we were away and she even put our bin away for us, so it wasn’t so obvious we were away. Thank you Eirian.”
“Caroline looked after my elderly cat really well including managing her arthritis medication. 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.”
“Eliza was fantastic looking after Lily while we were away. She was reliable, caring and kept us updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Lily was happy, relaxed and well looked after when we returned. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you so much, Eliza”
“Ultimately Hannah did a good job looking after my cats. However, I was saddened to only find out mid-sit that she hadn't been staying overnight, which is what I had booked. Initially she only said she hadn't felt comfortable staying over night and when I asked why and if there was anything I could do to help, she stated "I really hope you don’t take this the wrong way, as it’s certainly not a criticism just a difference in life styles. I really appreciate that you also provided towels and fresh sheets, however I am struggling with the cleanliness of the house. The property was not clean as expected, because of that I found it hard to stay the night. I don’t wish to offend you in anyway, but I would rather be honest, just from my personal opinion" I will always take accountability when I should and of course apologised (because I always want people to feel good in my home). However, my parents and I HAD deep cleaned the house the day before the sit started (the only room I left out was my meditation room as I'm in the process of rearranging/ redecorating it) so I was also shocked that Hannah felt this way. It has made me realise how important it is to meet sitters beforehand to check that everything is satisfactory and ask them to contact me immediately if there are any issues. I do recommend Hannah as she did stay at the house for a couple of hours every morning and all evening so the floofs weren't left alone for more than 9hrs at a time (I had said they were OK to be left for upto 12hrs during the day), provided photos and was very apologetic.”
“We had to abandon our cat for the weekend to visit our son. We didn’t have a single concern after arranging for Natalie to pop in 2x per day. She fed Willow, changed his litter and played with him Willow was so chilled when we got home, he’d had dinner and didn’t even come downstairs to greet us 😳”
“Rebecca was excellent! Responded super-quickly when we needed somebody to look after our kitten at very short notice due to a family emergency, and responsive to messages throughout. She took superb care of our kitten, and sent pictures and videos showing Poppy totally at ease. It was a difficult time for us and Rebecca was fantastic helping us. No hesitation at all in recommending Rebecca! Thanks :)”
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. Bev
“Pablo was a great sitter for my cats over the Christmas period. He arrived at the agreed times and gave my cats all the care and attention they need. 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.”

About: I love being outdoors and active, making me an ideal dogwalker. Though I have no dogs of my own, I love being around them and have provided ad hoc care services to friends and family when needed. I’m a freelance social media manager, making my working life flexible and freeing me to care for animals as well. Working remotely or in a coffee shop (dog friendly, of course!) means I have time and space free for boarding All cables and objects harmful to dogs are kept in containers off the ground and the house is kept generally tidy, avoiding the risk of choking hazards. I have a calm and quiet living space, making it ideal for all pets, especially those of a more timid or anxious nature
About: Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I already walk Percy every morning and again in the late afternoon. We often go to the field, riverside park, or Itchen Valley for longer walks. I also hold an Enhanced DBS check, giving owners extra peace of mind that their pets are in safe and trustworthy hands. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day. Percy is walked at least twice a day, and we have a secure, decent-sized fenced garden for playtime. Dogs are welcome to relax indoors with us or enjoy some quiet time in Percy’s annex, depending on what they’re most comfortable with. Every dog is different, so I tailor their routine to suit their personality and social needs. Pets in my home are treated like family. I have a secure fenced garden and a friendly, house-trained cocker spaniel, Percy. I can provide two daily walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, while following your pet’s routine and caring for them as our own.
“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!”
“Carmen and her lovely family have taken such lovely care of our puppy! We loved the photo updates! Hector always comes home relaxed and his usual happy cuddly self! Hector can't wait for his next visit :-)”
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.
“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: 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.
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.
“we cannot recommend ananda enough! she took care of our sweet georgie, who is currently quite fearful with other people, and just allowed georgie to settle in her own time and space. we couldn’t thank her enough for all the updates and we were very reassured as puppy moms! thank you very very much 🩷”
About: Hi my name is Kate - I offer dog walking and drop in visits to look after your pets, as well as house sitting. I have been on Rover for a while now and have a handful of lovely repeat clients. I’m currently taking on new clients for one-offs and repeats where our schedules align. I have several years experience dog walking and caring for my own dogs and cats. Please get in contact if you're looking for a trusted pet carer! 😻 During the week, my schedule is often fairly flexible. Please do get in contact to discuss availability or any schedule requirements that your pet has. Please let me know if there are any places out of bounds for your pets in your home - I am happy to keep wandering paws away.
“Lovely couple and took very good care of Rosie. Very clearly dog lovers. Settled in very well and their own was very cute and friendly. Thank you very much, we’ll be back. Kind Regards Chris”
“Jiani was a great host for my Chihuahua Apollo. She was really welcoming and sent regular updates and pictures of him having fun with her little dog. I would definitely recommend her and it allowed myself and family to enjoy our time in the area without having to worry about him. Thanks so much”
“Craig was really understanding of my very nervous dog, who has obviously been mistreated in the past. She was unwilling to respond to him although he was very calm. Even so he tried really hard and it is quite obvious that he is a dog lover - if Gracie gets over her fears I would be happy to leave her with Craig again.”

About: Just a furbaby mama looking to look after other furbabies. I currently have a 18 month old German Shorthaired Pointer, we have had her since 12 weeks old. I spend around 3+ hours per day taking her out on walks, paddle boarding, wild swimming. We regularly meet up with other dog groups for walks in the New Forest. I’m confident around dogs of all breeds and sizes, and happy to meet with any potential new customers beforehand to ensure the right match. I work from home, so my routine is pretty flexible. I either do a morning walk around valley park before I start, or a take a longer lunch and go to our local woods near Asda. I will sometimes do both moving and afternoon, depending on my work schedule. My desk set up is downstairs in the living area, so dogs are not left alone, and the door to our garden remains open when the weathers nice enough. I have a secure 75 foot garden, I also have my own dog here to keep others company. We do have a resident kitty kat, but his either out a lot or is upstairs.
“Laura really helped us out looking after our dog Rafferty whilst we were on holiday (walks and drop in visits whilst we was staying with my sister). She always sent us photo updates which was really nice!”
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: 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 pets and happy to sit quietly and offer cuddles or play ball games outside with energetic dogs. I understand that every dog/cat has its own unique personality and so I offer individualised care to every one.
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
About: I have had several breeds, and none breed of dogs all have had their own unique characters and needs, some requiring daily treatment for conditions.. I am retired now so I am able to fit in with your needs and your pets needs to ensure their care is not compromised. In your home I will respect your wishes to care for your pet. Feeding and walking as instructed to suit your pets and your requirements.

“Amber is always very quick to reply to messages. She was able to walk our dog with less than 24 hours notice. She arrives on time and provides a lovely breakdown of what she has done and our dogs behaviour on the walk. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Thanks Amber”
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.
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: 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.
“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: 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.

I can take special requests to ensure your dog is happy and healthy. - Constant companionship: I will treat your dog as my own and your dog will feel well loved with close companionship around the clock. Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priority. Message me to discuss how I can best accommodate your dog's needs so you can spend your time away with peace of mind.

I live at a quiet and safe cul de sac location and with a secure fenced garden. My house is located near West End, which is close to various large parks and green space for dog walking. I am very attentive to a pet's needs and strive to ensure that they are the happiest they can be! I set house rules for my own pets (e.g. rooms or places not allowed) so to ensure certain things are out of the pets reach and also set up favourite spots for playing and resting. I am happy to do the same if your pet needs something similar, just say the word!
“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.”
About: I’ve had experience in caring for animals for my whole life, as I have always had animals. Also, I have looked after pets in their own environments, provided walks when needed and kept them entertained via playing (although that’s the best part!). I’m currently a student, just finishing up my degree so I have a lot of spare time in the mornings and evenings, any day of the week. Feeding and playing with your pet is no issue with me, as well as the harder parts of cleaning a litter tray or administering tablets or liquid medications.

“Our labrador had a fabulous time with Murali and his family while we were away this summer. They were so kind and caring, and looked after her beautifully, sending us daily pictures, videos and messages. We are so grateful to them for welcoming her into their home and family life - we know she would love to visit again! Thanks again, Murali.”
“We have had an incredibly positive experience with Eleanor. Her communication and organisation is fantastic and we know without question that the level of care that our dog Bear received whilst we were away was the best of the best. Eleanor is clearly looking to make the experience for both pet and owner as best as it can be and we couldn't be more grateful for her. Thank you for taking such good care of our precious Bear.”
“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!”
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 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

Boy clearly happy ad when we needed to return to collect his bed ge actually wanted to go back in and initially was refusing to come off the drive, even when door closed. Recommend without hesitation. Would score higher if I could”
“Rio came home full of life and happy. I've seen him subdued from a stay away before so I've been cautious who has him and Qi did not disappoint. Loads of photos and updates. I couldn't have picked a better person to have my boy 🥰”
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.

“Jo was really great, would highly recommend and ask her to look after Carlos again. You can tell she really cared and went the extra mile to make sure he settled in well and got on with her two lovely dogs! This makes it really reassuring when I haven’t left him much before and also loads of pictures to keep me updated!!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a child and I am absolutely dog mad. Over the years, I have looked after multiple types of breeds from 3 legged retired greyhounds to friendly boisterous little pups! I am patient and caring with all pets and ages and just want to make sure your pet is happy and you feel they are in the safest hands! I work from home within the week and my weekends largely consist of long walks away from the city which I would love your pup to accompany me on! I have a open plan flat that your pet is free to roam around. I have easy access to outside spaces and I am located super close to the common so your four legged friend can have regular roams.
