Pet Boarding Southampton

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! My partner George and I recently bought our first home in Eastleigh, and we’re both huge dog lovers. While our work commitments mean we can’t have a dog of our own right now, we’d love to help others by providing caring and reliable dog walking and sitting services. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, from a Border Collie to a Lhasa Apso/Yorkie mix, and now a lovely litte Poochon. I’m very used to grooming needs and making sure coats are well cared for. I also regularly help care for family dogs, including Labradors, so I’m confident with both small and large breeds. Having experienced every stage of a dog’s life, I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as giving extra patience, attention, and love to older dogs. I work full-time across four days a week, which means I’m fully available on Tuesdays and weekends. On my days off, your dog will have my full attention. I’ll always stick to your routine and make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for—whether that’s during a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I’m happy to provide as many walks as your dog needs, along with plenty of playtime and attention. They’ll also have access to a secure garden and a safe, dog-friendly home environment. I have a fully fenced, secure garden and plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. I’m also happy to take dogs out in the car for longer walks or new environments if they enjoy that. I always aim to follow your preferences and routine to make sure you feel completely comfortable. My home does have stairs, but these can be safely blocked off if needed. Dogs are welcome to settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. You’re very welcome to bring their bed, crate, blankets, or anything familiar from home. If your dog is used to cuddling up on the sofa, they’ll be more than welcome to do the same here!

“Highly recommended as Amanda is wonderful!! Pickle had his own mini-break with all of the love, care and attention only a true dog lover gives. Pickle has only ever stayed with my daughter before so I was worried about leaving him. I was put totally at ease as I had regular photos and updates throughout the day and I have already booked Amanda again without hesitation to care for Pickle. Thank you so much Amanda xx”

“Neve and Ned were incredible. I would highly recommend leaving your dog in their trusting care. Both Neve and Ned were professional and thorough from the outset. They were proactive in establishing meetings with themselves and Otto to ensure that he would, not only be familiar with them and the space, but also to ensure that they would also be able to look after him and give him the best care possible. They had a number of highly relevant and targeted questions which was clearly designed to allow them to understand the needs of the dog. This included questions about their temperament, known words, and any healthcare needs as well as usual routines. A great indicator of how seriously they take their role in caring for your dog. The space is incredibly clean and well furnished. Neve provides a lot of material such as kibble/beds/water bowls etc already for your dog during your stay which takes a massive weight off of your shoulders in case you forget something during the mid-packing rush. It was also a sweet touch that I did not expect but very much welcomed. Neve and Ned do live with other houseguests but where your dog is staying is on the bottom floor, separate and with access to the garden. Otto did not seem to have any issue with this at all. During the stay, Neve and Ned were incredibly sweet. They both provided regular updates on Otto and provided as many photos and videos as I desired to ease my nerves, even if I was a bit overboard in how much I missed my dog. They also kept me updated with any issues, challenges or decisions they had to make while looking after Otto. It was during these points that you could tell both Neve and Ned were really taking on board whatever information you gave them at the start because every decision they made was exactly what I would have made. They also took Otto on a lot of adventures and allowed him to continue socialising. Otto was never really left alone for long if at all, which I'm sure he is missing now that we are back! Neve was also great at ensuring Otto's medical requirements were complied with and kept us up to date on any developments. I really valued being able to follow along and step in if needed so this was very much welcomed. Throughout the stay and before, Neve and Ned have always been kind and thoughtful in how they communicate. It truly made trusting them with Otto easier. Otto clearly enjoyed his time with them and quickly grew fond of the two of them. I am very glad that we chose Neve. Thank you both for taking great care of Otto.”

“This is the second time Shannon and her sister have looked after Max, and we will definitely be asking them to take care of her again! They sent us lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated because we’re very anxious dog parents haha. Max came back home super happy, and that gave us so much peace of mind. We definitely highly recommend them! 🫶🐾””

“Thank you so much. Ernie had a fantastic time and Mae sent regular updates and photos. We could see him literally smiling and it was good to know he was happy. He’s very tired now after playing with his new friends. See you soon”

I’ve always been a true dog lover and understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe, caring hands. We love spending time outdoors, with regular walks through the local woods, along the river, and exploring the trees and countryside. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures or a more relaxed stroll, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I offer a genuine home-from-home experience, where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I’ll follow their usual daily routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of cuddles and companionship, helping them feel comfortable, happy, and settled while you’re away. I have a fenced back garden but like to take the dogs for regualar walks and can be crated if you choose too i try to offer a home to home expierience

About: • A fun, caring home offering personalised care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. • I welcome dogs with behavioural needs, including reactivity and on-walk challenges. • I am fully insured for home boarding and provide regular updates and photos throughout your dog's stay. • Your dog's health, happiness, and wellbeing are always my top priority. • Thanks to my own large, high-energy dog, I'm particularly well suited to caring for bigger, playful breeds—but dogs of all sizes are welcome. • I always encourage a meet and greet beforehand to make sure our dogs get along and that you're completely happy before booking. • I am home for at least 20 hours a day, so your dog will enjoy plenty of company, care, and attention. • Weekday drop-off and pick-up is available from 11am onwards. • Weekend drop-off and pick-up times are fully flexible. • No children or cats here—just my (very friendly!) Staffy mix. • I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup will get plenty of space and attention. • We have a secure, fully enclosed garden for safe play and outdoor time. • Please note that my male dog is not yet neutered, so I cannot currently accept unspayed females. • Visiting dogs must be toilet and crate trained, as dogs are crated when left unattended for their safety.

About: Hey I'm Ellen! I've grown up around cats and dogs of all sizes and my own Goldie has had her own litter of puppies as well as my cat Lullaby who had two litters. Meaning I have experience with dogs and cats from the age of minutes old all the way up to 13 years. Both of my pets get along very well with eachother and all other furry visitors so will provide great company for your pet. I live with my parents and two siblings in a two story house with a fenced garden. It's the perfect place for your pup to spend the day or even the night. I will give your pupper all of my attention, 100% of the time they are staying with me to ensure they are comfortable and enjoying their holiday away! I have looked after and cared for Maltipoos, Labradors, Pugs, Border collies, Chihuahuas, Goldies, French Bulldogs, Jack Russells, Yorkies, Boxers, Spaniels, Daschunds, the list goes on... I am well versed in dog breeds and behaviours due to my obsession of everything dogs growing up and am confident in my knowledge and experience :) I currently work full time but can work around my schedule to look after your fluffy friend!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my calm, attentive nature and my ability to adapt quickly to each pet’s personality and needs. I take the time to understand their routine, behavior, and preferences to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with: Training young puppies, including crate training, leash manners, and basic commands using positive reinforcement. Senior pet care, such as administering oral medication, helping with mobility issues, and maintaining a quiet, supportive environment. I'm also tech-savvy, so I provide regular updates with photos and videos, giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. Whether your pet needs playful energy or gentle companionship, I adjust to match their pace and make their well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work part-time and am self-employed, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around the pets I look after. This means I can offer consistent care, stick to their routines, and spend quality time with them—whether it’s for feeding, play, medication, or just keeping them company. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to keep them relaxed and stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medication if needed, clean litter trays or pet areas, and spend quality time giving them attention, play, or quiet companionship—depending on what they enjoy.

“Charlotte and Wilbur had a great time together when we had our three week break. Wilbur looked so happy in the photos we were sent and he really seemed to have enjoyed his stay.”

“Secil was amazing! She helped us out with no hesitation during a difficult and stressful situation with another sitter and took such good care of both our cat and dog. It was clear that they were kept with so much love and it eased our minds so much to know that they were in good hands. Absolutely no issues whatsoever and when we picked our pets up Secil was so kind and understanding of everything. Thank you so much! Will definitely be booking with Secil again!”

“Rupert was very well looked after and came back a very happy boy after his visit! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!”

“Naomi was great with Tallulah - she came back happy and was sad to see Naomi go! Naomi was great even though Tallulah was sick in her car and pooed on her carpet! She was really flexible with pick ups and drops offs. Will definitely use Naomi again and would highly recommend her.”

Caroline K.

“Herbie had a lovely stay with Stuart. He also gave us a couple of updates whilst we were away, which was very reassuring. Herbie came home very relaxed & well brushed. We'll definitely be using Stuart again”
