“Shadia took Billy for us on short notice and with all the updates put us at ease. He had a couple of walks and lots of play and social time with Shadia’s dog and cats. Would definitely recommend!”


“First time for Cooper, today. He's an old boy and anxious but I can see from the video I was sent he was in safe and caring hands. I would definitely have Karolina to look after my best buddy in future. Thank you 😊”


“Thank you so much to Ananda for taking the best care of Barley. He had the best time and got plenty of belly rubs and attention from Ananda. She sent us plenty of updates and also listened to everything we mentioned. Thank you so much for having him and we wouldn’t hesitate recommending Ananda to anyone ☺️ Barley cannot wait to see you again!”


“Another successful stay for our hound who is loving her days with Neve. We have no hesitation in recommending Neve: our hound is a little on the anxious side but she now happily trots into Neve’s house and makes herself at home. Thank you”


About: I have been a dog owner since childhood, some 40+ years. Dogs of all shapes and sizes. Ranging from a Jack Russell to a Great Dane. Having lost our Ellie some months ago, I have a huge hole to fill. Knowing how hard it is to find sitters that can give them the love and attention they need while their mummy's and daddy's are away. I can offer a loving, comfortable home where they will be the centre of attention with lots of cuddles on the sofa, playtime and walks. I have just given up my job to make dog sitting my main priority. So they will have company the whole time they are with us. I have a fully fenced medium size garden. They will have access to the whole downstairs during the day. And may sleep upstairs at night if they prefer. Lots of parks nearby for walks.

“Vishu was fantastic and our dog Phoebe had a great time with him. He responded very quickly to all communications. We were running late for the drop off and he was very flexible and accomodating. We will defiintely use Vishu again. Highly recommended.”



“Bilbo has a great time with Andy & Jan. Monday evenings have been very quiet in our house and he’s exhausted when he comes home after having fun with his new pals. We’ve booked in more days with Andy & Jan over the next few months and also our holiday in September as we know Bilbo is a happy boy there. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy”


About: I’ve been around animals since early childhood with years of caring for pups, cats, even chickens of all breeds and sizes. I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends, family and have a growing list of happy clients. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cats zoomy playtime or just a cozy nap buddy, they’ll be treated like family in my care. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, 9–5, so early mornings, evenings, weekends and overnight sitting are no problem at all. Additional arrangements can be made to fit your needs as required. I’m happy to tailor walks from your doorstep and for dogs who enjoy car travel, I can also take them to the New Forest for relaxed trail walks I know well. During boarding, your dog will enjoy a spacious home with ample fields to explore. I’ll happily adapt to their routine to ensure they feel comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of several dogs throughout the years from larger breeds such as malamutes to little rambunctious pugs and old chocolate labs and puppy terriers, i absolutely adore them all and am happy to accommodate to whatever suits you. i do work full time and work from home 4 days per week, my work schedule is flexible so I would be available for boarding from 7am until 6pm on weekdays and would consider weekends also if it’s suitable. I have a fully fenced garden in a quiet suburb and a spacious four bedroom house so there’s plenty of space for roaming around. I also live close by to large woodlands and a large open outdoor sports complex.

About: We have looked after many dogs including borrowmydoggy and dogs of our friends. We love outdoors and spending time in nature so if your doggie needs a good run let us know ! Peace loving ones welcome too, we can enjoy a relaxed time together :) Someone is always at home . We both have odd schedules but that’s not a problem because we can free our time when necessary if one needs to work longer Making sure he/she gets his walks and eats according to schedule + have water available all the time. Can wash him / her if necessary.

“Emily was very friendly and accommodating for teddy’s visit. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times which was helpful. She sent lots of photos from the day and it looked like Teddy has lots of fun with her elderly dog Jose.”


“Fantastic! Bertie had a great time and was excited to go back. Philippa kept me updated on Bertie’s day with photos and messages. This was very reassuring as I can be a nervous Nelly when leaving him with someone new.”


“Secil looked after Bertie for a whole week during g the daytime. By the second day, Bertie got excited just getting in the car as he knew he was seeing Secil again. He loved every minute, Secil was very flexible for us with early starts and later pick ups. Thank you so very much for taking care of Bertie. We will definitely be back!!”


About: Hi, I am Jo and I am a complete animal lover. I have experience looking after both dogs and cats and have significant experience caring for British Bulldogs (the most stubborn, and loving, of them all!) I have experience of all size dogs and am comfortable caring for more than one dog (and cats) at a time, puppies, older dogs and also our more nervous/shy furry friends. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off the lead and will happily follow your usual dogs routine. I also have experience caring for kittens and cats. I live in a flat (stairs, no lift) and have access to a communal garden area. This is a quiet area and there are many kind furry friends in the neighbourhood. I am able to offer day care in my home and toilet breaks as often as necessary. I am also lucky to live right next to Southampton Common, a wonderful walking space. I own a car and am more than happy to transport your dog somewhere else so they can enjoy a good runaround. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful furry friend in the future! I keep my availability up to date and am able to accommodate short-notice requests as well as bookings for the future. I work from home as a nail artist (self employed) and, so, benefit from a range of availability and can be flexible when caring for your pet. When caring for your pet, whether that be in your home or at mine, I will always seek to follow the instructions and routine you provide me. I will ensure they are fed, walked, played with and provided lots of love and attention! Through conversations with you, I will seek to understand your pets likes, dislikes and routine so I can best provide this on your behalf.

“Veronica helped us out last minute and was great. She was great with communication, sent regular updates and took very good care of our little boy! He came back exhausted and was even staring out the car window for her when my partner picked him up! Will definitely use her again ?”


About: I’ve grown up having animals throughout my whole life! From terrapins to chickens to dogs to cats to horses! I love spending time outdoors with my 2 year old daughter and spend many weekends taking our family dogs and friends dogs out for lovely walks in the forest, common or along the beach. We are constantly searching for new lovely walks! I own a 2 bedroom apartment with a small fenced garden so all pets are welcome! The common is a 15 minute walk from my house and the forest is a 20 minute drive! Am hoping to eventually get our own dog next year but would love to help out with any animals! I currently work 3 days a week from home and my daughter is at nursery for those 3 days so this can be from anywhere and my work is flexible so am able to pop in and out when needed I have a small fenced grass garden area at my place and also drive so would be able to pick up or drop off if needed

“Natasha took our request last minute, she provided updates throughout the day, we were a bit skeptical booking him in as it was his first time being with a sitter, but Natasha was lovely and Billy my dog was more than happy being with her.”
