Cat Sitting Southampton

“Michelle has been fantastic with the walks and daily visits for my boy Pablo, he has his difficult moments and she went above and beyond to make him comfortable and eased his pre-walk anxiety with raw feed which he loved. She was very communicative and would give me updates for every visit. I would highly reccomend Michelle's service :)”

“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!”

“Abigail is always great with our anxious German Shepherd. Just a drop in & walk this time after not seeing him for a while, but it seems like he had a great time :) Would always recommend!”

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.

About: Hi! I’m Jess, a university student at the University of Southampton looking to earn some extra money while doing something I enjoy, spending time with animals. Growing up, I’ve always had pets and have a dog and a cat back home that I really miss while I’m away at university. Looking after them has given me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, your cat needs company while you’re away, or your pet just enjoys having someone around, I’m happy to help. I’m reliable, caring, and will make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend! As a university student, my schedule is quite flexible, especially outside of lectures. I can often work around your pet’s routine, whether that’s daytime visits, evening walks, or weekend care. I’ll always keep my availability up to date and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever I can. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and any routines they’re used to, so they feel as relaxed as possible. I understand that every pet is different and will take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and leaving it exactly as I found it. I’ll also send regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of cats & dogs my whole life. I’m very intuitive and good at building trust, always following their lead and allowing pets to build trust at their own pace. I have lots of experience feeding, walking, cleaning up after and giving all different kinds of medication to pets. I currently work full-time and have a part-time job on a Sunday. I can do morning & evening drop-ins during the week and some weekends, I also work from home 2-3 days a week (usually Wednesday & Tuesday/Friday) on these days I can also do lunchtime drop-ins I’m very caring and good at building trust. I have a cat of my own who is very shy so unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to host any pets. I am more than happy to do drop-ins and walks, both of which I have lots of experience in!

“Thank you so much! Always on time, gave nice feedback, helped us out a lot. Will keep in touch and absolutely will continue the work when needed! xxxx”

“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 couldn't be any happier! Eliza left detailed report cards and my cat looked very happy from the photos! She was careful and understanding with all my requests! Will book again with her without a doubt!”

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: I’ve taken regular care of my friends dog for quite a few years now as she is a frequent traveller. Experienced with day to day care, dog walking and providing comfort and play. Honest, trustworthy and genuinely care about animals. I work part time from home so available for cuddles and play. We have a large garden and I can go for walks after 3pm some Days. I have Fridays off so can do long walks that day. I have 2 children but one is 14 and the other is 11 so responsible and respectful who also love animals If in someone else’s home, I’m respectful of whatever instructions they provide. I like to spend a bit of time interacting with the animals and getting to know them

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.

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’m a massive animal lover, from dogs to cats, rabbits, horses and everything in between. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all sizes but have a particular soft spot for dogs. After moving away from home for university, I’ve been missing the unmatchable company that pets give and would be honoured to give yours a little extra attention. I love a puppy, but have extra experience with senior dogs and can take walks, sits and any other services at paces that suit them. I love a bit of character and quirk, and would aim to provide the same quality of care that you provide for your own pets. I’m a university student with a flexible schedule to work around yours and your pets needs and cause minimal disruption to their schedules. I prioritise every detail of care and make it as personal as possible by carefully following all information provided and keeping communication open with the owners too. I’m a student with a flexible schedule and a car. My main priority would be to fit seamlessly into your schedule to not disrupt routine and would be happy to work around you. I’m an early riser, so love early morning walks but am also happy to accommodate activities later in the day too. I have experience house sitting holiday lets over out of season periods and have provided cleaning services, so I have a great attention to detail and am very tidy. I’m big on rule following so would never cross boundaries but have lots of love and attention to give your pets! Just let me know what you’re comfortable with and I’ll make sure to provide the rest. After having my own, very fussy princess of a senior dog I’m more than able to accommodate any quirks. I know each dog has their own personality and I’d love to get to know them to tailor how I care for them, just as you would!
