“We are so grateful that we found Ron on the Rover app. He is the perfect dog sitter for our precious puppy Buzz. He has never been away from us before and with Ron and his wife’s kind and attentive care, Buzz has had a lovely little holiday. We will definitely be using him again. It’s such a weight off my shoulders. Loved all the photos and updates. So thoughtful and reassuring. Thank you so much Ron 🙏”
“Lisa and Nicola are great. They both welcomed my dog Jasper as if he was their own. They had him for 3 nights, took him for amazing walks and lavished him with attention alongside their own dog Lochi. He’s been pining for the whole family since he came home!! Would 100% recommend, thank you both 🐾”
“Stephanie took great care of our beloved Rosie. She kept us up to date with lots of texts & photos which we appreciated. Will definitely book with her again”
“Rachael is absolutely fantastic. Her passion for dogs and looking after them is clear, and my little guy had the best time with her and the other dogs that were sharing her lovely, spacious, and dog-friendly home - that much was clear from the photos and regular communication. Cash will absolutely be returning to stay again, and no doubt he'll love every minute!! ❤️”
“Monica is a lovely, caring lady and looked after Elsa over night for me. Great communication, and Elsa enjoyed her stay. Can recommend and will trust Monica for another time.”
“I’ve had a difficult time feeling I could find someone I could trust to look after my dog after a stressful kennel stay. Karen is absolutely amazing, she understands dogs and is kind, positive and active - all things my dog responds really well to. I got daily quick updates and insights demonstrating that she has built a great relationship with Pixie. Honestly I can’t praise her enough. I can now go away with no worries if I can book Pixie in with Karen.”
“My 12 week old puppy stayed with Shadia for the day and she had the best time!! Shadia updated us regularly with photos, videos and it was sooo nice to know exactly what my puppy was upto while we were busy. My puppy also really enjoyed spending time with Shadias dog, and I felt it was really good for her socialisation too! If we are ever back in Southampton and require dog sitting, Shadia will be the first person I call!”
“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 !”
“Ben was great- such a lovely person. My dog loved him and his Dad. I had no problems with Milo’s stay and the drop off and pick up went smoothly. I will book Ben again without a doubt!”
“Isabella and family are amazing hosts. She loves dogs as do her family. I will be forever grateful for the amazing care the whole family took of my dog, integrating him into the their family and even her lovely dog Henry also played his part of making Rolly feel completely at home from home......”
“Coco came home happy, relaxed, and probably wondering when he gets to visit Hanna again! 😄 Great communication, plenty of updates, and fantastic care throughout. Highly recommend!”
About: I work from home on flexible part time hours and my partner has a workshop in our garden meaning your dog will always have great company. We had a family dog whilst our kids were growing up and we both had dogs when growing up. We have experience of both male and female dogs of all ages. We are comfortable with training , administering any medication, grooming routines and love a good walk to either forest or beach. I work part time most of which is spent working from home. My job is very flexible and I can fit around the needs of the pets in my care. I have a 3 bed bungalow with fenced garden all around. I live here with my wife and our daughters visit from London occasionally. We are walking distance from the beach and have a pet friendly car to get out onto the New Forest. We love a good long walk on the beach or forest and for shorter jaunts we are close to Fawcetts field.
“Sophie was able to help out last minute after being let down. From start to finish the whole experience was great. Replies were prompt, with fair prices and I was very happy with the way Odin settled in straight away. I was kept up to date with check ins over the booking period and would friendly has again when needed.”
“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 a genuine love for animals and share my home with my friendly 5 year old, medium size Cockapoo, Ralph, who loves having canine companions to play with 🐶🐶. Based in Burton, Christchurch, we're perfectly located near beautiful fields, farms, the forest, and the beach, providing plenty of variety for fun, enriching walks to suit every dog. Whist at home, your pet will also have access to a fully enclosed, secure rear garden where they can safely relax and play between adventures. I provide a caring, home from home environment where your dog will receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. If your pet prefers a single pet environment, we’ve got you covered. I keep my own dog Ralph, with me every other week, which leaves plenty of space for animals that prefer no other pets around. Please ensure to include this in your enquiry and i will be able to advise the weeks this is possible. I work fully from home during the week, offering flexibility with both drop off and collection times. During the week I typically walk my dog in the morning and afternoon, but flexible to cater to your pets needs equally. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home offers a spacious downstairs area where dogs are free to relax and feel at home, along with a fully enclosed, secure rear garden for safe outdoor play and toilet breaks. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My own friendly Cockapoo, Ralph, also provides a calm and sociable companion for dogs who enjoy the company of others.

“We couldn’t be more happy with Kate as she’s been looking after our 2 boys, Stewie (2 year old rescue Dachshund) & Biggles (6 year old Jack Russell). Pro-active communication, lots of photos (which we love) & an obvious connection with the two dogs which she clearly loves (and they love her). We couldn’t recommend Kate more.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years, having grown up with them and understanding that every cat has their own personality, routine and preferences. Whether your cat is playful, independent or a little shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, medication if required and, of course, plenty of affection on their terms. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and in safe hands.
About: I’ve owned cats since I was young and currently own 2. I’ve cat sat for friends for a few weeks at a time in the past and have also administered medicine. I’ve also helped a friend hand rear feed her newborn kittens. I’m happy to come to your home to feed your cats whilst you are away and spend some time giving them love, cuddles and attention if needed. I can also lick and unlock cat flaps if you need your cat inside overnight.
About: I have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from confident and playful to shy or nervous, and I also have a kitten myself who means more to me than anything! I understand how important reliable care is. I follow routines exactly as instructed and can handle feeding, litter changes, basic medication, and keeping everything clean and calm. I’m patient and always take time to help cats feel comfortable.
“Sammy was amazing, she booked us in at short notice as our previous sitter was unwell. She met our dog before and discussed what we needed. She also agreed to let my son’s dog out at the same time. She was very prompt and sent photos of the dogs happily playing. We would defiantly contact sammy again if we need someone.”
About: I have a wealth of experience in the animal industry. I studied Animal Management (level 3 diploma) and am currently studying Veterinary Physiotherapy at university. I have also worked at a local boarding kennels and volunteered at a gundog training centre. I am a student so have free time to pet sit whilst completing university work. I have a few days off a week and only have lectures until 4 at the latest. I have a fenced in garden complete with grass and concrete area, I am able to provide long walks in the local area. I would ensure all animals were happy and entertained as well as ensuring correct walk and toilet timings.
About: As part of my house sitting, I've looked after many cats of different breeds and ages, I'm not really one to just pick up your cat, I tend to let them come to me. I'm unusually warm to the touch (so I'm told by humans) and the cats love it, once they settle on my lap, they tend to stay there. One sit in the summer of 2026 even had a cat called Lily with it's own Insta account.
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, from curious kittens to wise seniors. Growing up on a farm gave me early hands on experience with animals, and now I run my own pet sitting business, caring for cats with professionalism and heart. I regularly look after cats for my own clients, building trust and routines that keep them happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide feeding, litter tray maintenance, playtime, cuddles, and medication if needed, always tailoring my care to each cat’s personality and needs.
About: I have limited cat experience but adore them the same as dogs. I would be great for check ins and company. I have looked after friends cats whilst on holiday, been great entertainment for them, especially those who are needy and like cuddles!
“I’m really pleased with the care Anya provided while I was away. She looked after my cats and chickens wonderfully and gave me great peace of mind. She went above and beyond — even removing ticks from my cat — and I came home to a clean and tidy house, which was a lovely bonus. I’d happily recommend Anya to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I would definitely use her again.”
About: My family have always kept cats and I am a current dog owner, so I understand how important it is to provide animals with patient, attentive and reliable care. I’m comfortable looking after cats with different personalities and routines, from providing feeding and companionship to keeping their environment clean and secure. I’m also responsible and security-conscious, and can provide dependable house sitting while you’re away, including maintaining a visible on-site presence to help deter opportunistic burglary.

About: Hi there, I am Lisa. My wife and I work from home and we would love to have your lovely dog come stay with us! We currently have a gorgeous 2y old black miniature poodle boy (neutered) who is very friendly and easy-going. I also had another dog previously from puppy to 15 y old, so I am an experienced owner and comfortable with all sizes, breeds and personalities! We know how important it is to find someone local you can trust - we hope we can be those people for you and will care for your pet as if they are our own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and regular photo updates. Happy to meet before and see how we get on! With our dog we do a big walk in the morning and late-afternoon/evening at one of our dogs many favourite spots - the park, forest or seaside. Our poodle loves the water so a swim is definitely on the cards for a hot day! Then they can cuddle up while we both work at home usually. We break the day up with games in the garden, like fetch, tug or find-it, and are always available for cuddles. We're happy to adapt to your dogs energy and requirements. We have a decent sized bungalow with a big garden and secure fence. Your dog can make themselves comfortable wherever they fancy and we will always keep an eye on them while they are settling in.
“Georgie was happy to be left with Stephanie and still happy when I collected him. He enjoyed his day with a nice walk and cuddles. He will stay again.”
“Nyomi was amazing from start to finish! Eric absolutely loved spending the day with her, as soon as he got in he curled up on the sofa and slept so I know ut was a day well spent. Nyomi’s flexibility was great I messaged pretty late with my request and she’s came straight back which made me feel at ease. I had pupdates throughout the day, which was lovely and Eric was having such a fab time on his walk. Will absolutely use Nyomi again! I felt Eric was in amazing hands and I highly recommend! Thank you Nyomi!”
“Yes Fudge seemed to really enjoy her time with Jean. She went in no bother and when we fetched her she was very happy. Would be very happy to get in touch again with her when we come back to the IOW. A lovely service. It was a very warm and glad we took her there and not Osborne House with us. Thank You Jean and Family Thank You Rover for your help. We would do it again. Carol Sanders.”
“Oh my goodness Rachael is amazing! I’ve never used a dog sitter before and my one year old puppy spends his days with me. She is so lovely and her and garden are beautiful but so dog friendly! We had a visit before day care started. Marley had the best day and Racheal updated me with messages and photos of how he was doing which helped me feel at ease. Marley is now fast asleep after such a fun time! We have booked 2 days a week and hopefully holiday care too! Thank you Rachael”
“Such a lovely dog sitter and so accommodating at such short notice. Roxy had the best time with lots of walks and cuddles. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Karen.”

Maia was made to feel part of the family and enjoyed spending time with Sophie, her family, and their lovely dog Theo. It was reassuring to know she was in such a caring and safe environment while we were away. Sophie kept us updated throughout the day and when we picked Maia up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend Sophie and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Maia!”

About: My beloved dog, Crumble, joined tennis ball heaven last year and ever since then, there has been a huge paw shaped hole in our hearts. Life means it’s tricky to have our own fur baby again for a few years and instead, we’ve enjoyed the company of others. We have had dogs for over 20 years and are very comfortable with excitable young puppies as much as caring for senior dogs with medication needs etc. I am a secondary school teacher, teaching locally in a comprehensive for over 20 years being Head of Subject and Head of Year. Tristan also works as a specialist technician at school. We would love to use our weekends and school holidays between now and Christmas this year for furry companionship. In addition to teaching in school, I also privately tutor and work from home two to three days a week and therefore also have the ability to do some term time day based care and support until Christmas 2026. Thereafter, I am solely working from home on a part time basis, and won’t be in school and so will have full availability to be able to have dog company all day, every day. We promise to offer love, care and undivided attention for your pooch! We currently work part time and full time in a local school. This means that in school holiday time we have no work and can just give full attention to your dog’s needs. The same applies for weekends throughout the school year and any week day care we have capacity for up until Christmas this year. Then from January l will solely working from home on a part time basis as I will just have my private tutoring business and therefore have full capacity for every option for dog care all day, every day . If we have a dog with us it will never be left unsupervised and will always have at least one of our full attention I am just completing my Professional Dog Walkers and Sitters qualification with the British College of Canine Studies. I have also purchased independent insurance for your peace of mind. We have the luxury of going between two accommodations in the area. Our home has a fenced garden with lovely walks around the Mudeford quay and Mudeford woods patch. We also have a sizeable static caravan at Hoburne which dogs love coming to stay with us at. Here, we have the joys of being right on our private cliff top and the beach and sea in front, alongside the easy option of getting in to the forest for walks. It’s doggy heaven! We don’t have any pets of our own presently and instead are enjoying the company and companionship of others

“Ila responds promptly to messages and is a professional, friendly and knowledgeable dog walker. We met in advance and then Teddy had a lovely long forest walk with Ola. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
About: Hi😄My name is Leena and I’ve been pet sitting for the last 6 years. I’m very confident around all sizes and breeds of dogs that have all different temperaments. Whether you have an energetic, playful, anxious or quiet dog I can meet their needs to be a safe space for them. I can do long energetic fun walks in the forest with your young dog, or short slow sniffing walks for your senior dog! I have been looking after the family dogs for years when everyone goes away. I can follow all instructions and routines to your rules of your home, where the dog is allowed, what times they eat and when they go out. I have a cat myself who is a quiet but loving rescue so i understand every cat is different and has their own character. I adore all cats and kittens. I will feed, water, cuddle, play and let them out. Whether you have a cat flap letting them out for specific times or letting them out through the door just for a little while I can help!

I can also do one-off when needed walking, dog/puppy sitting, dog drop in feeds and cuddles or overnight stay looking after them in your home while you’re on holiday. I have so much care, patience and kindness towards all animals. Having my own cat, I know how important it is to know your pet is in safe hands, and how part of the family they are! I’m always like to do a meet and greet with yourself and your pet so you are able to have confidence in who you leave your pet with and it enables you to show me their routine! I have a full driving licence so i’m able to commute easily and be flexible with availability and times. I’d love to look after your cat, dog or any other animal in the family and help in anyway! I look forward to hearing about your wonderful pets🦮😸🤩🐕😻🥳 I am currently saving for traveling so this is my full time job working with cats & dogs so i’m very flexible to look after your pets whenever you need and on a regular basis!🤩 I can care for your pet in your home. Whether you have a special routine or system when walking or caring for them I can follow this.

“Our dog Oaty had a wonderful time walking with Nicola. We received great communication before, during and after the walks, including lots of lovely photos. Oaty was taken out for longer than we’d booked (we were asked first) which she really loved and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Overall really fantastic and would absolutely recommend”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm we always had dogs, and later I lived with flatmates’ dogs in London. More recently, our family beagle lived with my mum in the New Forest, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I genuinely miss having one around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or overnight care, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and well looked after. I’m reliable, patient and active, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work from home most weekdays, giving me the flexibility to provide dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting. One day a week I travel into London, but this varies, so please get in touch and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs. I’m also available most weekends and will do my best to be as flexible as possible. My approach to caring for pets in either my home or a pet owner's home is tailored to the specific service I offer. In my home, I provide a safe and secure space for them to rest and enjoy their stay. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I adapt to their routines and preferences, ensuring your pets receive consistent care, affection, and necessary attention. Open communication is key to allow me to address any specific needs and maintain a seamless experience with you and your pet/s.
About: I believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I now work part-time, so my availability is a little more limited, but I still love spending my free time caring for pets. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and work with you to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention, with plenty of walks, care and cuddles. I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.
About: Full time professional dog sitter; I’ve always had a dog in my life and love dogs! Couldn’t imagine not having them in my life. Love walking dogs, and have a river walk and park on my doorstep. We do not even need to get in the car although we like to venture to the beach often. I have a national trust membership, and take dogs to some amazing places locally. I work as a dog sitter and have the flexibility so am always able to take the dogs out for a nice long walk everyday. Weekends and weekdays work well as we have a dog so another would add to the fun. I am available for them to be dropped off early morning if needed also and am very flexible and accommodating. I have a dog friendly home and they can wonder freely inside the house and access water bowls at all time. I’m Always with them. My garden is fenced as well. I live in a quiet culdesac in a beautiful area. This is a true dog hotel for your fur baby. Spoilt dogs welcome! I try to only take on one dog at a time, although if more than one comes from a family I will accommodate this. I do this to ensure your dog is provided with a high standard of attention and care. Sometimes there maybe a crossover but I try hard to avoid this happening. Walks in the morning and lunchtime, and a last one in the evening if they have energy left. Weekends we will always go for walks and make the most of the area around us which is beautiful I have a walled garden and I ensure I know where the dogs are at all times. I would never leave them unsupervised as this is when mischief arises! Dogs are free to roam the whole home!
About: I have been a teacher for 20 years and I have recently taken the decision to go part time to follow my dream of being a dog walker and care provider. I have had dogs my whole life. My favourite breed is dalmatian (I've owned 2!) but currently I have a happy sprocker spaniel. I am lucky to live near to both the coast and the forest and my favourite activity to spend my time doing is walking my dog - now I think it's time to add to the pack! I have a van which has been adapted to safely carry up to 6 dogs. For many years I have regularly cared for my friends' dogs, welcoming them into my home and my family. I am confident with all types of dogs, young and old, large and small. I pride myself on being able to provide both the love and care I would hope for my own dog if she needed to be away from home. During the school holidays I am available full time. In term time the only days I cannot offer are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as I will be teaching in school then. Your dog will be warmly welcomed into my home. I am happy to crate them if that is what they are used to but typically dogs have the run of the house. I have a fully enclosed back garden for them to play in but mostly they will be able to just relax at home in between lovely walks either in the forest or on the beach.

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals and genuinely love being around them. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and chickens, so I’m confident looking after pets with very different personalities, routines and needs. I’m friendly, reliable and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe, caring hands while you’re away. I’m happy with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and keeping to their usual routines, while giving them plenty of fuss and attention along the way. 😊 I’m available every day and have plenty of flexibility as I work part-time from home.

About: I have a wealth of experience in the animal industry. I studied Animal Management (level 3 diploma) and am currently studying Veterinary Physiotherapy at university. I have also worked at a local boarding kennels and volunteered at a gundog training centre. I am a student so have free time to pet sit whilst completing university work. I have a few days off a week and only have lectures until 4 at the latest. I have a fenced in garden complete with grass and concrete area, I am able to provide long walks in the local area. I would ensure all animals were happy and entertained as well as ensuring correct walk and toilet timings.

From pit bulls to Shit-Zou’s I have a wealth of knowledge in caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. Currently working from home so I’d happy to help walk, sit or check in anytime. I can go for walks on my lunch break (very flexible), before, and after work. We have a fenced off garden so happy to let dogs use the bathroom out there in between walks.

About: I have grown up around animals and have owned a variety. I’ve had the likes of dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs just to name a few. Most recently I have owned a pug and currently live with a golden retriever. I have a lot of knowledge about flat faced breeds and know how to best care for them. Equally I have a lot of knowledge around other breeds particularly smaller ones. I have looked after friends and my families dogs when they have gone away. I have the ability to go to their houses so that their dogs stay in their own environment that’s familiar. I have also had dogs come and stay with me too. I regularly look after my friends dog when she goes to work making sure that her dog is well looked after. I have a lot of free time at the moment being in between jobs so am very flexible with my availability. I will work around what’s best for you and your pet. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. At my house dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds so they can have a proper cuddle. I have three beds in the house with room for their own bed if required. I have a fully enclosed garden with a 7ft fence. I also have an open field across the road and a woodlands the other side with running water. I will make sure to feed your dog as many times as needed throughout the time they are with me. There are two fresh water bowls throughout the house and one in the back garden as well so that there is always access to water. I usually keep my back door open throughout the summer time so that Olive (my friends dog) can go in and out when she pleases, as well as her swimming pool under the shade of a giant canopy. If you would like me to sit in your own home I will treat it with the upmost respect. I like to keep things clean and tidy and will leave your home as I came into it. Leave no trace.
About: Both my partner Andy and I have grown up with dogs and believe they’re not just pets, but true members of the family. We recently said goodbye to our beloved family Labrador at the age of 13, which gave us invaluable experience in caring for senior dogs. from administering medication to adapting routines for comfort and mobility. We regularly look after friends’ and family’s dogs, and pride ourselves on providing calm, loving, and attentive care. Every dog we look after is treated with the same affection and respect we’d give our own. I have a background in nursing and I’m currently training in dog grooming once a week. I bring a calm, compassionate approach to pet care. I have experience handling dogs of all temperaments, including those who are anxious, elderly, or require a little extra patience. Whether it’s a lively puppy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, your pet will be cared for as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My partner, Andy, works from home full time, so there’s always someone around to provide company and care. I work a 9–5 role, and together we create a relaxed, pet-friendly environment. We live just a five minute walk from Highcliffe beach and love exploring the New Forest National park, making our daily walks varied, stimulating, and enjoyable for every dog we care for.
“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: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up, there were always dogs and cats in the house, so caring for them quickly became second nature. That early experience gave me natural confidence and affection with pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need a little extra tender loving care and puppies who are still learning the basics. I really take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family, because I know just how much they mean to you. I'm currently available most days. I am not working so I am very flexible. I can be available to care for your pet anytime from morning to night.

I’m also available most evenings and weekends, and I occasionally work from home. On Fridays I finish at 12pm, so I have even more flexibility then. I’m a big fan of getting outside and especially love being at the beach, so if your dog enjoys a good walk, a bit of exploring or a trip somewhere new, even better! I’m also happy to care for dogs who are comfortable being left for a few hours while I’m at work, as long as that fits their usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone new, so I want them to feel safe, settled and comfortable in my care. I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and follow the routines and instructions you leave for me, whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, playtime or simply giving them some company.

“Rachael is absolutely fantastic. Her passion for dogs and looking after them is clear, and my little guy had the best time with her and the other dogs that were sharing her lovely, spacious, and dog-friendly home - that much was clear from the photos and regular communication. Cash will absolutely be returning to stay again, and no doubt he'll love every minute!! ❤️”
“My 12 week old puppy stayed with Shadia for the day and she had the best time!! Shadia updated us regularly with photos, videos and it was sooo nice to know exactly what my puppy was upto while we were busy. My puppy also really enjoyed spending time with Shadias dog, and I felt it was really good for her socialisation too! If we are ever back in Southampton and require dog sitting, Shadia will be the first person I call!”
“I can’t recommend Sam highly enough! He took amazing care of my Golden Retriever, Rio, and went above and beyond to ensure she felt at home. From regular updates to extra attention and care, Sam made sure Rio was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She came back to me relaxed and content, which speaks volumes about the quality of care Sam provided. I’m grateful for the extra touches, like providing her food when I’d forgotten to send her supplies. I’ll definitely be using Sam’s services again in the future. Five stars all around—thank you, Sam!”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and share my home with my friendly 5 year old, medium size Cockapoo, Ralph, who loves having canine companions to play with 🐶🐶. Based in Burton, Christchurch, we're perfectly located near beautiful fields, farms, the forest, and the beach, providing plenty of variety for fun, enriching walks to suit every dog. Whist at home, your pet will also have access to a fully enclosed, secure rear garden where they can safely relax and play between adventures. I provide a caring, home from home environment where your dog will receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. If your pet prefers a single pet environment, we’ve got you covered. I keep my own dog Ralph, with me every other week, which leaves plenty of space for animals that prefer no other pets around. Please ensure to include this in your enquiry and i will be able to advise the weeks this is possible. I work fully from home during the week, offering flexibility with both drop off and collection times. During the week I typically walk my dog in the morning and afternoon, but flexible to cater to your pets needs equally. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home offers a spacious downstairs area where dogs are free to relax and feel at home, along with a fully enclosed, secure rear garden for safe outdoor play and toilet breaks. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My own friendly Cockapoo, Ralph, also provides a calm and sociable companion for dogs who enjoy the company of others.
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.
