Shadia was amazing. Sent lots of updates, pictures and videos of how mocha was getting on. Mocha absolutely adored staying with Shadia and playing with the lovely and very friendly Skye. She came home tired, happy and she'd love to come back again.

Wardah was looking after my 4 month old energetic puppy and she did a wonderful job. Puppy received lots of cuddles and played a lot as once we got home the puppy went straight to sleep lol. Wardah put my mind to ease as she sent photos and videos of their day. 10/10, couldn't recommend anyone better!!

I chose Sophie for a day care stay for our beloved Maia, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met them, they were welcoming and friendly. Maia was made to feel part of the family and enjoyed spending time with Sophie, her family, and their lovely dog Theo. It was reassuring to know she was in such a caring and safe environment while we were away. Sophie kept us updated throughout the day and when we picked Maia up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend Sophie and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Maia!

Laura was absolutely wonderful with Barley and thank you for having him! She took the time to meet us beforehand before looking after him and sent plenty of updates throughout the day. She took him on two walks and catered for his high energy needs. Thank you Laura and we will definitely book again! 🥰🥰

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 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.

About: I am comfortable handling energetic dogs as well as more sensitive or anxious pets. I always prioritise safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners, including photo updates and detailed summaries after each walk. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I organise my schedule to ensure I can give pets my full attention during walks and visits. I have flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening bookings with advance notice. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in their owner’s home or during walks, I make sure their environment remains calm, secure, and consistent with their usual routine. In a client’s home, I respect the space completely and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication (if required), walk routes, and house rules. I double-check doors, gates, and harness fittings to ensure pets are always secure. During walks, I remain attentive to surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and monitor body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I understand that leaving your pet with someone requires trust, so I provide regular updates and photos for reassurance.

Ocean Village, Southampton, SO14

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood. Growing up with them as companions, I now reside in Ocean Village, but I spend a lot of time at the beach or strolling through the parks in Southampton. Sid, my dog, absolutely loves being outdoors and socializing with other dogs. If your furry friend enjoys plenty of affection and cozy cuddles on the sofa, along with a few long walks each day, they’ll be well taken care of here. Sid joined to make the family when he was just 8 weeks old and has received all his vaccinations. He enjoys making new friends and is quite content traveling in his bag, whether we’re shopping or taking the train. At home, he has his favorite spots to relax—one in the lounge for daytime and another in the bedroom for nighttime. Recently, I took care of my friend’s dog, Hugo, for a few nights, and now we regularly meet up so the dogs can have playdates in the park. Currently don’t work so you can have 24 hours of me and Sid. Live on 4th floor with lifts, but we are out 4 or 5 times a day if not more. Lots of open space and a park very close. I have a Vets the other side of bridge, I’d look after Sid better than i probably look after myself - Sid and I won’t let anyone down

About: I have a strong love for animals and I understand the importance of making sure you have someone trust worthy to look after your furry friends as I understand how worrying this can be. Since I was young I have cared for my friends and families animals (both cats and dogs) and still continue to regularly. I currently work from home full time Monday to Friday with weekends off work so I have a lot of time to spend with your furry friends and look forward to having their company. I always abide by the owners rules (i.e. amount of walks/feeding times/ whether an animal doesn't like something/whether they need medication at a certain time) other than this, I will give your pet a lot of attention,play time and belly rubs (IF they like it!) :)

Chloe was amazing for my Koda, she really helped me out of a pickle when I suddenly needed to find a temporary replacement for my usual walker. Koda wasnt at his best when she had him as he was quite anxious from just moving and was probably quite unsettled but she managed to calm him down, I could see he loved being there and he certainly had lots of play time! He was truly well looked after!
