Cat Sitting in Southampton

“Loz was fantastic with my two cats! She went above and beyond, arranging an initial visit to meet them and understand their needs, and even made an extra trip to collect the key and go over the final care instructions. My cats (and my home) were very well looked after. One of my cats requires regular medication, and Loz handled it with complete care and reliability. I felt confident everything was in safe hands and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Loz! I am hoping my dates align with Loz again in the future!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life from birth, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Although I’m new to professional pet sitting platforms, I have lifelong hands-on experience owning and caring for dogs, cats, and many other animals. I currently own a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Wolfdog cross who I single-handedly trained using positive reinforcement methods. He has been raw fed since puppyhood, and over the years this sparked a strong interest in canine nutrition, holistic wellbeing, behaviour, and force-free training techniques. I’m especially experienced with larger breeds, high-energy dogs, Cockapoos, and Spaniels, but honestly I adore dogs of every shape and size. I’m confident handling strong dogs, administering medication, and adapting care to suit each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Alongside dogs, I’ve also owned and cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, hamsters, kittens, and puppies. I’ve regularly house sat for friends and family, caring for both pets and homes with the same level of respect and attention I would expect for my own. I work from home as a self-employed Will Writer and Estate Planning Consultant, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I love hiking, long walks, countryside adventures, and including dogs out and about in my daily routine wherever possible, if they enjoy it and feel comfortable. I also have my own car fitted with a pet seat cover for safe and comfortable transport when needed. I currently split my time between Southampton and Epsom, so I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting across Surrey, Hampshire, and surrounding areas. Above all else, I genuinely care about animals and understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone. My aim is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, loved, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. I’m available for house sitting throughout the week, including weekends, whether that’s shorter stays or overnight care. I can give pets plenty of attention, company, walks, and care throughout the day, and adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. Unfortunately I’m unable to offer care in my own home, as I have a senior dog who doesn’t always get along with other animals. However, I’m very happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and settled in their familiar environment and routine. I always treat both pets and homes with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, calm, and stress-free. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behaviour, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any medication or special requirements so they receive personalised care and attention while you’re away.

“Hayley was fantastic - Super friendly and did everything she could to ensure Milos routine was kept to. Obvious she has a lot of experience handling dogs, Milo was calm at the initial meet and greet and had a great time hanging out with Hayley for the afternoon. We'll definitely call upon Hayley next time we need a dog walker/dogsitter!”

I am confident all different breeds of dogs (any shape or size). I will always listen to your instructions carefully and carry out an extra tasks need to help your dog. I will provide regular updates with messages so you can feel at ease. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old as I have grown up with them. I’ve had experience feeding, walking and cleaning them. I am currently a university student with a lot of flexible times during the week and availability to stay over on weekends. I am available all day Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 2 pm and Friday morning before 11am. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your dog can feel safe and secure. I have a fenced garden and no other dogs on the premises.

About: For the past 10 years, I’ve been running a small dog rescue on my own land in Portugal, focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs. Working with volunteers and local charities, we built a cage-free setup where dogs lived as part of a stable social group rather than in kennels. At any given time there were usually around 10 dogs living together. I was the primary caretaker, so managing a group of dogs and keeping things steady was just part of everyday life. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, blind and deaf dogs, dogs with disabilities, dogs recovering from illness, and dogs who have been neglected. Behavioural issues are not a problem for me. My approach is calm, practical, and focused on reading each animal and responding to what they need in the moment. I am compassionate and gentle. As well as dogs, I’ve had cats and chickens my whole life, and I also have experience caring for horses, pigs, goats, and ducks. Animals have been at the centre of my life for many years, and I love caring for them. I’m currently in the UK for a few months while I prepare to get married and relocate back to Europe. I’m staying with friends during this time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Pet care fits easily into my routine at the moment, and I’m able to be fully present and reliable with bookings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, and any specific needs. I’m experienced in quickly settling into different homes and maintaining a calm, structured presence. I’m respectful of the space, keep everything secure and clean, and provide clear regular updates. With over 10 years of rescue experience, I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments, including dogs that need patience or close supervision.

“Shadia visited and fed Millie at the requested time and kept me updated with photos of our very happy dog. We will definitely book with Shadia again.”

About: I have lived with cats and a dog my whole childhood. I have dog-sat for my sisters for over a week at a time. I am experienced in looking after dogs of different ages and different breeds. I have lived with cats since I was 2, I am experienced in dealing with scared rescue cats. I have had my own cat for 2 years and understand how important having someone you trust is. Cat care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work from home two days a week and have a structured 9–5 schedule. This gives me flexibility to provide regular feeding, playtime, companionship, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m used to building pet care into my routine and always make sure cats receive plenty of attention, comfort, and consistency while in my care. When caring for pets in my own home or a pet owner’s home, I always make safety, routine, and comfort my top priorities. My cat’s safety and wellbeing are always my main priority, and I take a calm, attentive approach to make sure pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I also really value meet and greets before a booking, as they give me the chance to meet both the pet and owner, learn about the pet’s routine and personality, and familiarise myself with where everything is kept in the home. When pet sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and individual needs are met. I also believe regular communication is really important, so I like to keep owners updated with messages and daily photos so they can feel reassured that their pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Zilin looks after my 4 month old puppy twice a week which is no small job as he has lots of energy, he is in his "scared of everything" phase but within the first visit he already loves having Zilin visit and gets super excited to see her. She has a great calm energy with him and always gives me plenty of updates throughout, cannot thank you enough!”

About: Having grown up with dogs and cats, and had rescue dogs of my own, I am experienced with providing care for animals with a wide range of needs, including separation anxiety, reactivity, and medication. I also have lots of experience looking after pet rats! I currently work from home half the week, and this can be done from anywhere with wifi. I have a car and can travel within a reasonable distance. I am sensitive to the needs of the individual pet, so my approach to care will depend on what your pet is used to, I will ask questions beforehand so that I can provide the best care for your animal. I want to minimize any stress for your pet and give them the most positive experience!

About: We have looked after many dogs including borrowmydoggy and dogs of our friends. We love outdoors and spending time in nature so if your doggie needs a good run let us know ! Peace loving ones welcome too, we can enjoy a relaxed time together :) Someone is always at home . We both have odd schedules but that’s not a problem because we can free our time when necessary if one needs to work longer Making sure he/she gets his walks and eats according to schedule + have water available all the time. Can wash him / her if necessary.

About: I've looked after a variety of animals since childhood, both my own and my neighbours. This includes both cats and dogs, including a combination of several in one home. I've stayed overnight for extended stays at people's houses and taken good care of both their pets and homes. I have experience with sighthounds and understand the cute little quirks they can come with. I've also looked after my senior dog for a number of years before he passed and provided I'm a student so I'll be able to visit homes when I'm not in lectures and will be happy to house sit overnight as long as I'm able to leave to attend university for a few hours on some days. I have been responsible for caring for pets in several different homes and always ensure to follow the instructions from owners and maintain a safe and fun environment for the animals.

“As always great communication, happy dogs and fully recommended.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life 🐾 I grew up with larger breeds and now regularly care for my mum’s three Chihuahuas (one is a Chihuahua–Jack Russell cross!), so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Dogs have truly always been a huge part of my life. I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour. When I was younger, we had Boxer dogs, one of whom required professional training. I attended those training sessions, which taught me a lot about reading dog behaviour, respecting boundaries, and understanding when a dog needs space just as much as when they want attention, play, or cuddles. I also have experience administering oral medication and am more than happy to do this for your dog, as long as clear instructions are provided. I’m open to caring for dogs with special needs and would be happy to gain more experience in this area. If your dog does have special requirements, please let me know the details so I can ensure they receive the best possible care. ⭐️ Currently offering reduced fees as I’m new to this app ⭐️ I work nights but sometimes work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day and evenings. As I’m self-employed, I can adjust my schedule when needed and plan my time around your pet’s routine. I’m reliable, organised, and always make your pet’s needs, comfort, and happiness my top priority 🐾 Whether that’s sticking to feeding times, walks, playtime, or quiet company, your pet will always come first. Home Visits & Walks • For safety, I keep dogs on the lead during walks if they don’t have reliable recall. If your dog has good recall and I’ve seen this first-hand, we can absolutely revisit this once I’ve gotten to know both you and your dog. An extendable lead is a great option so they can still have plenty of freedom to explore and run around parks. • I’ll always treat your home with care and leave it just as I found it, I will wash up after myself, take bins out and change bedding, making sure you come back to your home as it was. If your dog has an accident, I’ll happily clean it up — please provide cleaning products, just in case! • For home visits and overnight stays, I’m more than happy to care for multiple dogs. When it comes to walks, however, the safety and wellbeing of your pets, myself, and the public is my top priority. For this reason, I’m able to walk a maximum of three dogs at a time (or two at a time for large breeds). In multi-dog households with more than three dogs, walks will be done in separate groups to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. For example, four dogs would be walked as two at a time, and five dogs would be walked as three first, followed by the remaining two. • Communication is important, if I feel I need to contact you about your pet or your home, I will do so without hesitation. An additional contact number of a family member, neighbour or friend is preferred incase I am unable to get hold of you. • Clear instructions about your pet, their needs and quirks is essential to ensuring your furry family is comfortable and happy while their pet parent is away. • I’m more than happy to take pictures of your pet and send you regular updates while you are away! I want you to feel relaxed knowing your pet and your home is safe while you are away. • I have a car & drivers license and I’m happy to take your pets to a preferred area for walks or change in scenery, only dogs that are well-behaved in cars and will be happy to sit securely in the back of my car (for safety reasons), this is optional of course and only after I’ve got to know your pets. Small dogs only for car trips, and a maximum of three due to having a smaller car. ⸻ Boarding • I only take one small dog at a time, so your pet gets my full attention and a calm, relaxed stay. • Your dog should be house-trained (able to let me know when they need to go outside and not have regular accidents). • Dogs are very welcome on the furniture, as long as they’re up to date with flea treatment. • Dogs are also welcome to sleep on the bed. If you’d prefer they sleep in their own bed, please feel free to provide one so they feel comfortable and at home. • There won’t be any other dogs in my household during your dog’s stay. My family dogs live with my mum most of the time. I do have a bearded dragon, who stays safely in his vivarium and will not be let out during your dog’s stay. If your dog is sensitive to small animals, please let me know so I can ensure everything remains completely separated and stress-free for everyone. • As I live in a flat, quieter dogs are preferred to keep things comfortable for both your dog and my neighbours. • I also have a small, shared ground-floor balcony area that your dog can enjoy on a lead, I prefer to take them to the park across the road where they will have more to enjoy, but my ground-floor balcony is suitable for toilet breaks and fresh air.

About: I am comfortable handling energetic dogs as well as more sensitive or anxious pets. I always prioritise safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners, including photo updates and detailed summaries after each walk. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I organise my schedule to ensure I can give pets my full attention during walks and visits. I have flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening bookings with advance notice. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in their owner’s home or during walks, I make sure their environment remains calm, secure, and consistent with their usual routine. In a client’s home, I respect the space completely and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication (if required), walk routes, and house rules. I double-check doors, gates, and harness fittings to ensure pets are always secure. During walks, I remain attentive to surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and monitor body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I understand that leaving your pet with someone requires trust, so I provide regular updates and photos for reassurance.
