1. Amber D.

“Amber is great, trust worthy and takes good care of my Zhanshi whilst I'm at the office. Amber took to Zhanshi well and the same for Zhanshi 🙂. I get photos from the walk and the walk cards are really good. I come home to a happy Zhanshi.”


2. Laura W.

“Very pleased with Laura. First solo walk for our dog Irma and although Irma was a little reluctant to leave home without us, Laura managed very well.”


3. Jen W.
“Jen has been walking my 2 high energy labs (who can be quite the handful) for nearly 3 years now. She has been there every step of the way since they were puppies! She's provided excellent training tips and tricks and helped massively with their recall! I couldn't ask for a better dog walker, the care and love that goes into every walk is above and beyond! She treats my dogs like their her own family!”


4. Max S.

“Max has been reliable, and always goes 'above & beyond'.”


5. Kamila O.

“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 😁”

7. Joey N.

“Joey was brilliant with Gunner. He's been very nervous recently and has occasionally been refusing walks, but she helped me get him out of the end of our road, which is further than he has walked out of our house in a few weeks. We will be booking her again for sure.”


8. Ayana D.
“I would highly recommend Ayana! She is amazing looking after my two , Hershey and Rio absolutely love her! Both of my dogs have quite different personalities, one is a collie with full of energy and the other is yorkie mix who is abit more laid back. She knows how to meet both of their needs accordingly. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of them 🐾”


9. Veronica Z.
About: Hi! my name is Veronica. I am a student here in Southampton. I am looking forward to know and take care of your four legs buddies. I usually walk a friend's dog in New Forrest, but I would be available for basically all kinds of services offered in this platform. In my life I always owned dogs and cats, the only reason why I don't have one now is because I am a student and a worker and I prefer not to have one until I’m settled. In the meantime, I am more than excited to take care of your little friends and make the most out of our time together! From Tuesday to Saturday I usually work from 8 am to 7 pm but I cooperate with my partner so dogs stay with him whilst I’m away. They have long walks, chill at home and have lots of cuddles. I then come back and we do another walk together to make sure all energies are burned. On my days off, I’m obviously available all day and we organize days at the park, when the weather allows it! I live in a spacious two bedroom apartment that unfortunately doesn’t have a garden, however I’m in the city center with plenty of parks around us and there is no issues in going there several times per day!


10. Eleanor M.
“Eleanor is a loving pet owner who is reliable, punctual and trustworthy. She loves all breeds of dogs and is the owner of an English bull terrier. I would highly recommend her.”


11. Jasmin T.
“Jasmin is kind, caring and extremely patient when it comes to animals. She seems to have a special connection with them, especially dogs. Jasmin is reliable. She has never let myself or anyone down, who i know, when taking on the responsibility of looking after their pets. It would definitely be her pleasure to walk other people's dogs.”

About: I am an experienced dog owner and have been brought up around dogs. I have an elderly dog of my own who is very calm and would enjoy the company of your pet.

13. Yehuai W.
About: All animals seem to like me. Whether it's someone else's cat or a stray, they all tend to approach me. I take hygiene very seriously when it comes to dogs and cats, and I also dedicate time specifically to interact with them. I currently work from home and have a lot of time to spend with dogs and cats. I also have time to take them out for a walk. If it's for a short period, I prefer to provide care at their home, allowing them to stay in a familiar environment. If it exceeds five days, I would prefer to take care of them in my own home.


14. Helene Shanshan Strømnes D.
“Helene is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. She truly loves animals and has been taking fantastic care of my dog Selma for several years. Helene doesn’t just walk Selma, she plays with her, gives her love and attention, and updates me throughout the day of things they are doing, etc. Helene is a kind and caring person who is very passionate, sweet and loving towards animals. I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone!”


15. Charlotte M.
“Charlotte M. was a pet sitter for my elderly cat Mabel when I went away on a few occasions, once for 8 days. Charlotte came over and greeted Mabel before the pet sit and straight away I could see how gentle and caring she was towards her. My cat needs to be medicated and so I left instructions which she followed to a Tee. While I was away in Vietnam, Charlotte sent me photos of my baby Mabel every day. She really eased my anxiety about leaving my darling cat, who means everything to me, and actually was taking care of me too! When I came home Mabel was so relaxed and healthy, I was so happy with Charlotte's care.”


16. Tara J.
“Tara is great with my dog. She is so patient, calm and caring. She sends me regular updates of how my dog is throughout the day and what they have been up to! She is attentive to both pet and parent and happy to follow and routine/commands you have put in place. I feel happy and confident leaving my precious fur baby in her capable hands.”


17. Iris M.

“Sasha had a lovely walk with Iris. She was well looked after, I received a lovely picture of her while she was out. I 💯 recommend Iris to everyone.”
