Dog Walking Southampton

“Elena provided such an amazing service. She sent updates and pictures every day to not just me but also to my Mum who was house-sitting. I love that she listened to everything I told her about it Monty’s needs, and tailored his walks to his requirements. I will absolutely be using her again!”

“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”

“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’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!

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.

About: Hi, I’m Eliza and I’m 19. I’ve had a golden cocker spaniel in the household for about 5 years now - we got her in 2021, when she was 4 months old (an adorable tiny puppy!) and I was 14. She’s now 5 years old so I’ve pretty much grown up with her, so I have experience with dogs of all different ages. I would prefer to look after small and medium-sized dogs and I’m used to them pulling on the lead (my dog does it all the time!) but open to walking larger dogs too, as long as they aren’t too strong on the lead. I’m used to long walks since cocker spaniels are an active and lively breed! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I’m a student at Southampton university, currently in my first year, so I’m pretty flexible with timings. I’m free at various times on weekdays, and most weekends, but I’ll be updating my calendar regularly to show specific availability. I grew up with a dog (Toffee) and a cat (Noodle). On my profile, the first 6 photos are me with my dog (ranging from adulthood, and a picture of her as a puppy in the last of the 6 photos); the rest of the photos are me with my cat (also ranging from when he was a kitten - the first two photos, when I was much younger too! - to adulthood.) Therefore, I am well-versed when it comes to caring for both cats and dogs. Let me know if you have any questions! :)

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, from tiny Jack Russells to Rottweilers and XL Bullies. I have hands‑on experience at Cardiff Dogs Home and currently volunteer at Southampton Second Chance Animal Rescue, working with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, puppies, and senior pets. I’ve previously cared for a Weimaraner through regular house sitting, and I’ve worked with many rescue dogs including Frenchies and Spaniels. I’m confident with enrichment games, basic training support, and following any routines or rules you already use at home. I can also safely give medication to both cats and dogs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my ability to read body language—especially helpful with nervous or rescue pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I’m a PhD student at Southampton, so my schedule is very flexible. I usually spend around three hours on campus during weekday working hours, but this is easy to work around your pet’s routine. Most of my work is laptop‑based, meaning I can often study from your home if needed and keep your pet company throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can accommodate both regular weekly bookings and one‑off requests. I’m also happy to follow your dog or cat’s existing schedule—feeding, walks, medication, or training—so everything stays consistent and stress‑free for them. When caring for pets in your home, I keep their routine, environment, and comfort exactly as they’re used to. I follow all feeding schedules, walk lengths, training rules, and medication needs to maintain consistency and reduce stress. As a PhD student, I can spend plenty of time keeping your pet company with walks, play, enrichment, or calm downtime depending on what they enjoy. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and nervous or rescue pets, and I always go at their pace. I treat your home with respect and keep everything tidy, and I’m happy to send regular updates so you feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Jiani, a passionate dog lover based in Southampton. As a proud owner of a miniature Dachshund, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs of different ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m reliable, responsible, and organised in my day-to-day work, and I bring the same level of care and commitment when looking after pets. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply keeping to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can provide regular updates, photos, and messages for complete peace of mind, so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, I already structure my day around regular walks, feeding times, play, and companionship. My Dachshund, Robin, is a much-loved member of the family, so I understand the importance of consistency and attention to a dog’s physical and emotional needs. I work locally and have evenings, weekends, and school holidays available, allowing me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll ensure they receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is getting on while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to ensure they receive personalised care and attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone else. I will treat your dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and a safe environment. I am happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, training, or routines to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible. For boarding and daycare services, I have a friendly Dachshund, Robin, at home. Meet-and-greets can be arranged beforehand to ensure all dogs are comfortable together. I will also provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and truly love being around them. I currently have a 7-year-old dachshund and previously cared for my greyhound for 12 years, which gave me a lot of experience understanding dogs at different life stages, including senior care. Because of this, I’m very patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m also a university student with a flexible schedule and quite a lot of free time, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day. Whether your dog needs company, extra care, or just someone to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m an active person and love going on walks and being outdoors, so I’d be more than happy to bring energetic or athletic dogs on longer walks or even runs. I also enjoy playing with dogs and making sure they get the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need. For more relaxed pets, I’m just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a calm environment. I understand how important pets are to their owners, so I always aim to treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I’m currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to spend with pets and make sure they get the attention they need. I’m able to be with dogs for most of the day and can easily adjust my routine depending on their needs. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just company during the day, I’m happy to provide it. I’m also an active person and enjoy being outdoors, so I’d love to take energetic dogs on walks or runs, while also being just as happy to relax and give cuddles to dogs who prefer a calmer environment. I live in a clean and comfortable two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment near Ocean Village. The building has a fenced garden area that is safe for dogs, as well as a designated pet relief area for quick bathroom breaks. There is also a larger park nearby where I can take dogs for longer walks and exercise. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and feel at home while they are with me. I’m happy to follow each dog’s routine, whether that means specific feeding times, medication, extra playtime, or just lots of cuddles and attention so they feel safe while their owners are away. 🐶

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life ever since I was a young child. Monty was the most loving dog as a child, but my cat Jessy was a bit more independent (but loved a cuddle when it was on his terms!). I own two cockapoo's called Guinness and Murphy, very typical cockapoo's! Full of energy and extremely loving. I have a young child who Guinness adores! Very experienced with high energy dogs. I've had both my current dogs since they were puppies so very happy to do drop in visits to puppies :) I am currently working from home and currently have complete flexibility Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's for drop in's and dog walking. Also available on the weekends with notice for house sitting, dog walks and drop in visits. If you would like me to visit your pet before caring for them please message me and we can arrange a visit beforehand. When booking I will be in contact to check your dog's temperament and what they like/dislike!

I’m currently exploring a new career path so my days are flexible to meet any requirement. Be it popping in regularly or extended walks. I’m happy to follow any and all requirement that you have when caring for your beloved pet - I understand that our animals often have weird and wonderful needs

“Jasmin is being very patient and understanding with our nervous rescue dog who takes a while to get comfortable with new people. We're very happy with how it went and we'll definitely be booking more walks!”

“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Koda with someone we didn’t know. Olivia put my mind at ease with her asking the questions she needed to know to give Koda the best care. She kept us updated on his walks and put our mind at ease!”

“My dog Bagel LOVES Kamila so much, which definitely shows how well she's treated on her walks! Bagel often doesn't want to leave my side, but as soon as Kamila is around she's raring to go. Kamila is always gentle and kind, ignoring bad behaviour as I've asked, and will give Bagel all the cuddles she wants too. I can trust that Bagel is having the best time 😁”
