“Very lucky to have found Pedro and his family to look after our Labrador, Tipsy, for 10 days. He kept us posted of Tipsy's adventures and she was treated like part of their family. We would absolutely use them again. Thank you ☺️”


“Eleanor and Raymond took such wonderful care of Lucy and all her little quirks. They went above and beyond, taking the time to get to know her personality - her likes, dislikes, and her favourite routine. They managed everything with a genuine affection for her. It was such a comfort to know she was in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”


“My 12 week old puppy stayed with Shadia for the day and she had the best time!! Shadia updated us regularly with photos, videos and it was sooo nice to know exactly what my puppy was upto while we were busy. My puppy also really enjoyed spending time with Shadias dog, and I felt it was really good for her socialisation too! If we are ever back in Southampton and require dog sitting, Shadia will be the first person I call!”


“Fantastic, just amazing. I only met Victoria, but she was lovely and obviously cared so much about our little guy's welfare. The house dog, Harley, is just the friendliest, loveliest dog ever! Monty really enjoyed his time with Matthew and Victoria and we got constant updates. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!”


“Winter throughly enjoyed his 2 weeks away. A lovely family who provided plenty of video/photo updates throughout the stay. They looked after him so well and when we were stuck abroad they really put us at ease by taking care of Winter until we were able to get back. Winter clearly misses them and their dog, Mia. We highly recommend them.”


“Amy and Will were so amazing,It was my first time to leave my puppies and they managed them very well.Amy sent me amazing photos of them.I am fully satisfied and I can highly recommend Amy.Thank you so much!”


“We couldn’t be happier with the service Lauren has provided for us. We were receiving photos and messages every day about our dog so we were assured everything was okay. Despite our dog is not an easy one Lauren was able to handle everything with ease. She’s an absolute star! Very highly recommended! Thanks a lot Lauren!!!”


“Charlotte was the perfect sitter for my dog Coco and has gained a client in me. Getting regular updates, pictures and videos was so nice and also reassuring. Coco has a great time and it was lovely to hear she made a friend in Charlotte's dog also. Highly recommend”


“Our dog Nara had the best stay with Sandra and family! Sandra was very communicative and let us know how Nara was doing, sending pictures and videos too which is lovely. Sandra was also very understanding with our uncertainty around times due to travelling with a baby. Could not recommend more!”


“Fudge seemed very happy after her few days with Lorraine and Ted. Lorraine took her out to do different things and she let her sit on her sofa, which Fudge loves to do! All together I would happily leave Fudge with Lorraine and Ted again.”


“Louise was a fantastic dog sitter for Ruby!! Would highly recommend to anyone, she sent regular photos and updates of how Ruby was getting on. Lots of walks and snuggles which is ruby’s favorite thing. Louise was super easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Thanks so much Louise for looking after Ruby and giving her the best holiday!”


“Ruby had the absolute best time with Chloe!! Would highly recommend Chloe to anyone, she was really responsive and gave plenty of updates on how Ruby was getting on whilst we were away. Lots of amazing walks in the South Downs!!”


“Billy had a wonderful first stay with Rachel... he came home very happy and tired! Rachel kept me posted on how he was doing throughout and will definitely be hoping to use Rachel again! Thank you so much! X”


“Hi Emma, we’re eventually home! Thank you again, Hali has had a fantastic time and was so happy with you. As you know this was the first time we’ve left her with someone we didn’t know and you were brilliant at helping us feel confident and the minute we ( me and Hali) met you we relaxed and felt happy. You have so much experience with such a range of dogs and obviously love them very much.”


“We had a great experience with Kelly and her lovely family, who looked after our young dog, Dustin, for his very first sleepover. They were very welcoming, making Dustin feel right at home. Throughout his stay, Kelly kept me updated with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear Dustin was in great hands and having a fantastic time. I would happily book with them again!”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a teenager, and I couldn't imagine a day without them💙 From playful cocker spaniels to big, lovable retrievers, every pup is a friend to me. I work from home, so your furry companion will always have company, cuddles, and plenty of love🐕 Whether it's playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out, I'll make sure your pup feels right at home👋 I work from home Monday to Friday (8:30 AM – 4:30 PM), I have plenty of time to care for your pup throughout the day! ☀️Mornings start with a refreshing walk and some fun ball play to get the energy out. ⛅️During the day, your furry friend will have company, cuddles, and potty breaks as needed. 🌙After work, it’s time for another walk and more playtime to wind down. I am very flexible for extra adventures, snuggles, and whatever your pup needs! My home is a safe and loving environment with a high fenced yard and a private garden for safe play. My dog, NAMU🐕 loves to have furry friends over and is great at welcoming new friends. Whether at my home or yours, I provide a caring and stress-free space with plenty of love, playtime and supervision to make your dog feel safe and at home! I also have a veterinary clinic less than a 10 minute drive away.

“I am so pleased I found Sinead. I am so grateful at how Sinead, her children and her dog Harley welcomed Lila into their home. Lila very quickly settled which is proof of how comfortable she felt with everyone. She has had so much fun and it is without a doubt Lila will be returning to see Sinead and her family again soon. 🙂”


About: I’ve had dogs & cats all my life! I love how their different personalities shine through 😀 I currently have 1 rescue dog & 2 indoor cats plus a tortoise! I have recently built a catio for the cats so they can enjoy the outdoors. I walk my dog every day & work from home so they always have company! I work from home every day so can be flexible & available most days. I walk my dog every day either before work or at lunch time 😀 I have a fully enclosed garden with grass which my dog won’t mind sharing with another dog-friendly dog ☺️ my cats are dog savvy but will keep themselves to themselves! I don’t mind where the pets go, happy for them to sleep on the floor or the sofa!

“Reed has fallen in love Stephanie and her mum. He was looked after so well that upon dropping my old boy back to me he was in a sulk! Think he would have stayed with stephanie longer if he had a choice. Thanks for having him and we look forward to more bookings :)”
