Dog Walking Southampton

“Laura was really good with walking our dog jaxon. She Updated us everyday with photos. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or care for their fur babies.”

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.

“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!”

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.

“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!”

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. 🐶❤️

“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 have taken care of many cats and kittens with great experience in medication administration as well as any other pet care required!. I am able to deliver medication orally in addition to any topical medications. I am currently working part time as a Teaching assistant therefore I have plenty of time to look after your furry friends!. I love to care for every kind of animal and would love to create a safe environment for your furry friend. I care for pets as if they are my own, I have a deep love for stray furry friends too!. I always make sure they’re safe and comfortable by keeping doors and gates secured, supervising them closely.

“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 😁”

“Hilary helped out by walking my dogs at short notice. She was speedy with her response and made sure she knew all required info. I am very grateful and loved the pics and feedback I got from the walk :)”

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: 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: 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: 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.

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

“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!”
