Pet Boarding in Southampton

“Our dog Teddy had a lovely day with Lauren, who looked after him for us while we visited Paultons Park. Lauren sent us an update with photos to let us know that all was well, and that Teddy was having fun and being well cared for. This was really helpful and enabled us to relax and enjoy our day even more, knowing he had settled. I would recommend Lauren as a sitter and we will definitely ask her again the next time we are in the area and needed someone to look after our dog.”

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!

“Our dog went to stay at Murali’s house for a long weekend and had the best time. She loved playing with other dogs in the large garden and interacting with other dogs and people. We received regular updates about our dog and felt that she was in very good, caring hands. We will definitely be using Murali’s services again 😊”

“Thank you to Kelly and her family for taking such great care of Winnie. I was a bit nervous about leaving her as she seems to be going through a particularly anxious stage but Kelly gave loads of reassurance, great updates and settled Winnie into her family home super quickly. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Winnie! Xx”

“Gus was included in the family and clearly had a great time. The texts and photos were lovely to have. Shelley and family couldn't have done more for us. We were welcomed even though traffic meant we were much later than planned. I think Gus is missing them so I hope we get to meet up for another stay. I would certainly recommend staying with them.”

“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.”

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.

Both of my pets get along very well with eachother and all other furry visitors so will provide great company for your pet.

“I think Reggie enjoyed his time with Chan. He didn't seem too stressed when I collected him, which is great as this was his first time being with anyone else. Chan sent updates and pictures regularly and overall seemed like a friendly, quiet and relaxed guy... Just what Reggie needed. Would book again.”

About: Hello!! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats throughout my childhood & adult life! We had cats from a young age and then as I got older dogs and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. As a teenager I was trusted to look after the pets of family friends and house sat during holidays and weekends from time to time, which developed my skills dealing with different animals with their range of personalities ☺️ These days I walk friends dogs when they are away & also take care of my parents two staffies when they are away, who I adore and miss very much as they have now moved up north! Taking care of different dogs and animals throughout my life has made me an extremely patient and calm individual & I want nothing more than to make you feel safe and content with your pets left in my care ☺️ I currently work full time Monday- Friday and so am free on weekends and during the week after roughly 5pm! I usually have Fridays off and so would be available for services on that day as well if needs be ☺️ I live in my own flat at the moment which does allow dogs/pets and so would be able to have them with me here, however would also be available to care for your pets in your own home if this is preferable.

“Jasmin is great with our pup, she has a very calming nature which puts Maisie at ease and she was happy to arrange a meet and greet, as well as a walk, before the stay so that Maisie could get comfortable being around her before her sleepover. She had a great time and we would definitely use Jasmin again in future :)”

“Excellent pet carers. Winter loved staying with them as evidenced by the photos we received throughout his stay. They asked all the right questions and were very diligent when I dropped Winter off. Will definitely book with them again.”

“Jennie had myself and my sisters Staffordshire bull terries recently for a night whilst we visited some family. Both girls enjoyed their stay and felt so welcomed into Jennies home. Communication was amazing, and we had regular updates of what they’d been up to. Will definitely use Jennie again.”

About: Growing up with working dogs, I have always been a huge animal lover. But it wasn't until I got my own dog as an adult that I realised how challenging (and sometimes nerve-wracking!) it can be leaving your furry family member with someone else. Dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes are welcome, including those with on-walk challenges or reactivity. I am insured and your dogs health and happiness are my top priority! As a dog-mum myself, I pride myself on being affectionate, patient and attentive to every pups individual needs. Your dog will be treated like a family member in our house. I am home at least 20 hours per day to entertain and care for your dog. There are no children or cats here - just my (super friendly!) Staffy Mix dog. Please note, my own male dog is not yet old enough to be neutered, so I cannot currently accept unspayed females. I ask that all my visiting dogs are toilet and crate trained, as when left unattended all dogs are crated for their own safety.

“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!”

About: I have grown up with many animals including dogs and I feel they are part of our family. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I understand their phycology and love training them. I have cared for my families and my friends dogs of all sizes, from staffies, french bull dogs to giant schnauzers. My dog Bertie is very well behaved, calm and relaxed though he has a lot of energy and loves his outdoor adventures. He is very happy sharing his home for stop overs and day play mates. I am retired from working within the NHS and love being a home body. Thereby I am able to offer an excellent service in providing a loving, caring and safe home from home experience for your dog. I have a safe enclosed rear garden with a massive open space right next door which is a great safe area to run and play in. My home life is relaxed and peaceful, providing a calm, safe place for your dog to stay. I'm blessed to live in an area of natural beauty with plenty of lovely woodland walks right on my door step.

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.

“Our dog Milo was well cared for and had a fantastic time while we went abroad. Everything was stress free and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you”
