Dog Walking Southampton

“Amber is fantastic. She joined us for a dog walk before we went on Holliday (free of charge) to get to know Rocco and Aria. We felt great about booking her straight away. She kept us updated with pictures of the dogs from their walks when we were away. We will definitely book again. Thanks Amber!”

James T.

“Knowledgeable, great communication and lovely caring kind nature with our elderly dog! Also helped us out with a short notice booking which we were very grateful for.”

“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!”

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.

“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 36 years old, and have 2 lovely daughters aged 5 and 1, with a 6 months old cat called Sox. He's a black short haired cat with white feet, hence the name. My 5 year old Isabella named him, as she was desperate for a cat, as my daughter wanted a best friend, which he is! A very loveable and little bit naughty cat, but we love him. I was introduced to cats when I met my partner Claire, and have fallen in love with them. We always love to see new cats walking around the streets and cant resist saying hello. I'm a car sales person and love my job, but thought this might be a good idea to help with bills etc. I'm a caring person, and would love to care for your cat and give it some love when I visit I currently work full time, and every other week I work 6 days. My normal working hours are 08:30 - 18:00. Morning drop ins, I would arrive around 07:30 and evenings around 18:30 Fenced garden, microchipped cat flap at my home, with a patio door then back door, same as the front. At a owners home I will follow the guidance of how the owner would do things

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 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.

“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!”

“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 😁”

About: I’ve never had a dog of my own (yet!), but I’ve grown up around family & friends dogs and pets of my own -including parrots- of all shapes and sizes. So I understand the dedication and patience animals need. I’ve looked after playful puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve helped walk, feed, and care for them over the years. Spending time with dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I’m confident reading their body language, keeping them safe, and making them feel loved. Until the day I can have my own, I’m committed to giving your dog the same care and affection I’d give to my future pup. ❤️🐶 I work full-time during the day, but after 6 pm I’m ready for tail-wagging walks and weekend adventures. Living in a top-floor flat means I can’t have a dog of my own right now, so I pour all my love into caring for yours. Whether it’s an evening stroll, weekend hike, or a full day of doggy day sitting, your pup will get my full attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of cuddles. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest, and I keep a close eye on their well-being at all times. I only use safe walking routes and never let dogs off-lead unless you’ve given permission and it’s in a secure area. You can expect regular updates, photos, and open communication so you know your pet is happy and cared for — as if they were my own. 🐶❤️

“As always helpful, accommodating of reasonable requests and most importantly great with my dog. Also, really friendly in dealing with my disabled mother when picking up & dropping off.”

About: Throughout my life, I've had a variety of pets: from cats and dogs; to horses, birds and reptiles. During my adulthood, I have pet-sat informally, for free, and volunteered with wildlife rescues like The Spiky Shire Hedgehog Rescue. I have mostly cared for animals which have complex needs, including elderly animals needing scheduled medication and a calm home, young reptiles that need daily weight checks or amphibians that have specific humidity and temperature needs. I am currently at university, partially working from home so during the week I would be available for short visits and walks. I am far more free on weekends and would be available for more frequent visits, longer walks and full-day visits At home, I have a cozy fenced garden and a 5-bedroom house so your furry friends will have plenty of space to play and explore. The house has no pets or children so nervous fur babies can relax and enjoy the space. When caring for your pets, I write everything down and set reminders, so if your fur baby demands affection at one specific time of day in one spot of the house or will only eat if I serenade them in the kitchen, I will be ready.

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 university of Southampton, 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'm Naomi, your pet's new best friend, here to provide a loving and fun environment for your furry companions. I'm not only a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for various breeds and needs, but I'm also the proud owner of a trained assistance dog. Together, we'll make sure your pet feels right at home! My home is a calm and loving space where your pet can relax and enjoy plenty of cuddles. I have experience and skills in training, socialisation, and specialised support for dogs of all ages and abilities – from lively pups to wise seniors and even those with unique needs like blindness. Your pet will be in the best of hands, as I'm well-versed in medication administration and regular grooming, and have even helped my own dog achieve the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Award! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and I can't wait to share my love and expertise with your cherished companion. When your furry friend stays with me, they'll not only receive top-notch care but also have a blast exploring, playing, and making new memories in a nurturing environment. So, let's get to know each other and give your pet the holiday they deserve with their new best friend! Pet care fits really naturally into my life, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I work in Fareham during the day and usually finish at 4pm, but I can pop in for visits around Fareham during my lunch break, as well as before or after work. 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. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, too, so you know how your pet is getting on. Most importantly, I want them to have a calm, positive experience and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being looked after.

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.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. My family have had dogs since I was little and I now regularly look after my mums dog during the week and when she goes on holiday as well as other family and friends dogs. I am available during the week and on weekends and work from home so I can be flexible to suit you needs. I work from home and have an office in the garden so your dog would have constant company and be free to roam from the house to the garden. I walk every day and I love being outdoors in the fresh air. I also have a car so can collect your dogs or pop over for company/toilet breaks or for a walk. I have a fully enclosed fenced back garden with plenty of space. Your dog will be treated like one of the family with plenty of love, walks, cuddles and attention. My home is their home. I live 2 minutes from a park, 10 minutes from the forest and 30 minutes from the beach so there are plenty of places for walks. I have a husband and a daughter who are both dog lovers but it will be me who will take full care and control of your dog while in our home

About: My wife and I offer top quality care pet care in our cozy two bedroom home with a secure garden. You can expect: - Personalised care: Every dog is different and have their own needs. I strive to make sure personalised care is provided so that every dog's needs are met and treated with love. - Safe environment: My home has a secure fenced garden for your dog to play and relax. - Routine exercise: I can offer multiple walks every day and plenty of playtime. 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 work a desk based job and work from home for the majority of days so full time pet care is second nature for me. I am more than happy to spend a couple of hours every day on dog walking or pet sitting. I am a very flexible person so please do not hesitate to contact me about special time arrangements. 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!

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.

“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!”
