John was amazing with Thor. I am a “pet mum” full of requests and reminders , lists on the wall and especially i request a continues update. John gave me everything I requested and he was really caring and affectionate with Thor🥰 I was a little apprehensive about many things cause although Thor is not a Huge dog is anyway a dog of a certain size, I have nothing but good words about him and I will for sure book him again in the future.

Hilary took good care of our cat Lola on drop in visits while we were away. It was lovely to receive an update and photos of Lola regularly and I would definitely recommend Hilary for drop in cat visits and will use her again when we need to. Thank you Hilary 😊

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for a wide range of breeds, from Labradors and German Shepherds to Mastiffs, Dogue de Bordeaux, and Staffie crosses. I have owned both male and female dogs and have experience managing multiple dogs at once, including caring for three female dogs together, balancing their individual needs, routines, and personalities while ensuring a calm and structured environment. I currently have a male French Bulldog puppy, Bugs, with my partner. Together, we have enjoyed plenty of adventures such as beaches, woodlands, and botanical gardens, while also focusing on training, including basic commands, potty training, and crate training. I am more than happy to support your dog or puppy with training routines to keep things consistent. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including small breeds, puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds over 50kg. Because of this, I am confident in reading dog behaviour and body language, allowing me to tailor care to each dog’s personality and comfort level. I always prioritise a stress free environment and can choose quieter walking routes if your dog prefers to avoid social interactions. I also have experience administering medication, including caring for my own dog during gastroenteritis, so I am comfortable supporting dogs with additional care needs. I have access to my own car, which allows me to be flexible for transport, emergencies, or last minute bookings when available. Please let me know about your dog’s temperament, any reactivity to other dogs, or any special requirements during booking. I am happy to accommodate and ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently work part time, usually Mondays and Tuesdays, which gives me flexibility throughout the rest of the week. I am available for walks and drop ins around five days a week and can often accommodate different times. I always aim to be as flexible as possible, so please feel free to message me to discuss your needs and I will do my best to accomodate this (can possibly swap days at work if I am able to). Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large garden that is fenced at the back and sides, and I always supervise dogs closely when outside. I currently have a young puppy at home, so I am very mindful of creating a calm and controlled environment, with careful introductions depending on your pets temperament. I am experienced in reading pet behaviour and will always ensure your pet feels safe and at ease. For dogs: I can provide crate support if needed and will follow your dog’s routine closely to keep them relaxed and well cared for.

Molly-Mae was fabulous with Bogart. We were really stuck and she saved the day by popping in to visit Bogart in the evening and again the following morning, sending pictures to put our mind at rest that he was ok. She asked all the right questions before the booking and made me feel comfortable that Bogart was in safe hands-I know he can be a handful as an 8 month old puppy!! Thank you Molly-Mae!

Bethany was a perfect dog sitter, understanding and acting on a complicated and changing set of requests. Sybil was very happy with her and was given all the attention and care she needed.

About: I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve bred Chihuahua puppies and have owned a variety of breeds, giving me insight into every stage of a dog’s life — from playful, energetic puppies to wise senior dogs. This experience means I understand puppy training, socialisation, and the special care senior dogs require, including patience, gentle handling, and attention to their health needs. I treat every dog as a family member, providing care, love, and consistency to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I used to be a housewife and a dog breeder, dedicating much of my time to raising my children and caring for animals. Now that I’m no longer working or breeding, I have plenty of time to devote to other pets. Caring for animals is my passion, and I can provide consistent attention, companionship, and hands-on care throughout the day or week. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or simply giving love and playtime, I can fit pet care seamlessly into my daily routine, treating every pet as a valued member of my family. When pet sitting in a pet owner’s home, I treat your pets and your home with the utmost care and respect. I follow your routines closely, feeding, walking, playtime, and any medication schedules, so your pets feel comfortable and secure in your absence. I spend quality time with them, providing companionship, affection, and attention just as I would for my own animals. I also ensure your home stays tidy and safe, keeping feeding areas, litter trays, and play spaces clean and well-maintained. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Chloe was great with my anxious dog. He very quickly relaxed and was comfortable with her. She made sure he was ok giving him fresh water treats and cuddles.

About: Hi, I’m Daniel — a compassionate and reliable pet sitter based in Southampton. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats and small pets, and they’ve always been a huge source of joy for me. There’s something special about being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for. I’ve looked after pets for friends, family and colleagues, including dogs, cats and rabbits. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs a good walk, a nervous pet who needs patience, or a senior animal who needs a gentler approach, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m naturally calm, attentive and caring, but also playful when the situation calls for it. I genuinely love what I do, and nothing beats seeing a pet relaxed, happy and thriving in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I work from home most of the week, which gives me good flexibility during the day. I’m typically available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends, and I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks or check-ins to make sure pets get consistent care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I can also adapt to different routines, whether that’s morning visits, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always prioritise keeping their routine and environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided, from feeding and walks to any specific behaviours or needs, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything clean and tidy, and ensure doors, gates and any safety measures are properly managed at all times. I stay attentive to each pet’s behaviour and wellbeing, and I’m always prepared to respond calmly if anything unexpected arises. I also keep owners updated regularly, so they can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.

Anthony goes above and beyond to make sure Skybear is well cared for. Takes the stress out of being away because we know we are coming back to a happy dog. Can’t rate him high enough

Ashley has been brilliant at cat-sitting our two cats for feeding times. She popped over for a meet and greet and asked plenty of questions. Updates sent via Rover were informative and she also got on with our two well.
