House Sitting in Southampton

“Kamila really is an animal lover. She looks after our three sphynx cats that need human company, as if course, they are house cats- and our crazy Jackapoo like they are her own. We know we can leave them all in very safe hands and go and have a rare day out together as she will stay well into the evening. She’s come early in the morning too to feed and walk so we can go away for a night or two now and not worry at all. Please do not hesitate to book Kamila (although she’s our best kept secret- don’t tell everyone, she’s amazing 😉)”

“Hannah is friendly and kind. She was gentle with our dog (he’s a bit timid around strangers) and had great communication throughout! Will highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and regularly took them and neighbours dogs on walks, both pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family I am currently a student, so have lots of free time during the day to go on long walks and pet sit during the day and evenings I’ve always had big dogs and so have gotten used to going on long walks and finding spots for them to run around and get some energy out

“Yizhen was brilliant, great communication before and during her bunny sitting. I really appreciated the regular photos and updates. I’d definitely ask Yizhen to look after my rabbits again! ”

“Kate was absolutely brilliant with Billie. We were away for 4 nights and she followed instructions to a teacher. Billie can be quite an anxious cat but warmed to Kate well. Kate kept us well informed with lots of pictures, videos and messages to out us at ease. I absolutely would book her again and I'm sure Billie misses her too.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Isobel as our dog sitter. She was incredibly reliable and caring, which immediately put us at ease as this was the first time we've gone away since welcoming Dante to our family. Throughout the time we were away, Isobel kept us regularly updated with lots of lovely photos and messages, which really reassured us that our dog was happy and well looked after. It made such a difference being able to see how much fun they were having! She also took our dog out for long walks, making sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and treats them like her own. Thanks to Isobel, we were able to relax and enjoy our time away without any worries. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”

“Abigail looked after our German Shepherd X Rottweiler dog, Teddy, between 9 and 15 April, and the service we received was exceptional. Communication with Abi was great right from the stage of our enquiry, throughout the six days of the dog-sitting booking, up to and including the last day. Abi made sure she found out everything relevant about Teddy prior to the start of the booking, and listened carefully to our requests, she even visited us twice prior to the dog-sitting, to make sure everyone was happy . We received photos and updates from Abi throughout our time away, but it was obvious from the first visit (the introductory meeting) that Abi was right at ease with our boisterous boy. One really nice bonus was that our home was left by Abi in a really clean and tidy state, which we were very grateful for. Will definitely book Abi in the future again, and can highly recommend her!”

“Olivia was amazing with pebble yesterday. She sent us some photos and videos of her spending time with pebble and pebble had a lovely day playing and cuddling with Olivia. Nothing was too much trouble for Olivia. We cannot thank her enough and would 100% recommend her. We will definitely be booking again!”

“The ever needy Skybear looked after beautifully again by Laura. Can completely trust Laura to take care of him and the house while we’re away without any worries”

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 Southampton university, 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! :)

“Ellie did great with our German Shepherd. He can be very anxious with new people as he is blind, but she had no issues handling him. Also gave him medication just fine. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life from birth, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Although I’m new to professional pet sitting platforms, I have lifelong hands-on experience owning and caring for dogs, cats, and many other animals. I currently own a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Wolfdog cross who I single-handedly trained using positive reinforcement methods. He has been raw fed since puppyhood, and over the years this sparked a strong interest in canine nutrition, holistic wellbeing, behaviour, and force-free training techniques. I’ve spent years reading books and learning about dog psychology, enrichment, and positive training approaches. I’m especially experienced with larger breeds, high-energy dogs, Cockapoos, and Spaniels, but honestly I adore dogs of every shape and size. I’m confident handling strong dogs, administering medication, and adapting care to suit each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Alongside dogs, I’ve also owned and cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, hamsters, kittens, and puppies. I’ve regularly house sat for friends and family, caring for both pets and homes with the same level of respect and attention I would expect for my own. I work from home as a self-employed Will Writer and Estate Planning Consultant, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I love hiking, long walks, countryside adventures, and including dogs out and about in my daily routine wherever possible, if they enjoy it and feel comfortable. I also have my own car fitted with a pet seat cover for safe and comfortable transport when needed. I currently split my time between Southampton and Epsom, so I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting across Surrey, Hampshire, and surrounding areas. Above all else, I genuinely care about animals and understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone. My aim is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, loved, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. I’m available for house sitting throughout the week, including weekends, whether that’s shorter stays or overnight care. I can give pets plenty of attention, company, walks, and care throughout the day, and adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. Unfortunately I’m unable to offer care in my own home, as I have a senior dog who doesn’t always get along with other animals. However, I’m very happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and settled in their familiar environment and routine. I always treat both pets and homes with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, calm, and stress-free. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behaviour, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any medication or special requirements so they receive personalised care and attention while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken regular care of my friends Samoyed dog for quite a few years now as she is a frequent traveller. Experienced with day to day care, dog walking and providing comfort and play. Honest, trustworthy and genuinely care about animals. I work part time from home so available for cuddles and play. We have a large garden and I can go for walks after 3pm some Days. I have Fridays off so can do long walks that day. I have 2 children but one is 14 and the other is 11 so responsible and respectful who also love animals I have a fenced garden and an open plan house where I can see the pets easily. If in someone else’s home, I’m respectful of whatever instructions they provide.

“We were very lucky that Helen was available at short notice to stay with our mini dachsie for our overnight away. She communicated throughout and gave regular updates. Could not be happier with her service. Thank you so much, Helen!”

About: I have lived with cats and a dog my whole childhood. I have dog-sat for my sisters for over a week at a time. I am experienced in looking after dogs of different ages and different breeds. I have lived with cats since I was 2, I am experienced in dealing with scared rescue cats. I have had my own cat for 2 years and understand how important having someone you trust is. Cat care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work from home two days a week and have a structured 9–5 schedule. This gives me flexibility to provide regular feeding, playtime, companionship, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m used to building pet care into my routine and always make sure cats receive plenty of attention, comfort, and consistency while in my care. When caring for pets in my own home or a pet owner’s home, I always make safety, routine, and comfort my top priorities. My cat’s safety and wellbeing are always my main priority, and I take a calm, attentive approach to make sure pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I also really value meet and greets before a booking, as they give me the chance to meet both the pet and owner, learn about the pet’s routine and personality, and familiarise myself with where everything is kept in the home. When pet sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and individual needs are met. I also believe regular communication is really important, so I like to keep owners updated with messages and daily photos so they can feel reassured that their pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I love pets more than anything and I would really love to have my own but unfortunately my working schedule wouldn’t allow me to, that’s why I am happy to help out other people here instead :) I am currently working full-time Mon-Fri 7.30am to 3pm and I have some weekends off. I am happy to do house sitting for a few days during the week as long as your pet can stay unsupervised while I’m at work. I live in a flat building but I have a lovely front garden where we can play. I also live very close to common park where I usually go for walks in my free time.
