Love doggies is all I can say! I have had dogs all my life. My little dog Stan is really open to other dogs and loves meeting new human and animal friends. I used to volunteer at a rescue centre so I am confident in animal care. I volunteer for Refuge for Pets so have a lot of experience with bigger and more challenging types.
I have my own business and work from home so your pet will always be with company. I am close to Freedom Fields park and have a car so can go further afield for longer walks. Your pet will have its own sleeping area and be able to sleep on the sofa if needed, I am not fussy as Stanley likes to sleep up there! Your pet can sleep in our bedroom if that's what they are used to. Your pet will get our undivided attention, I know from experience it is hard to leave a loved pet with someone you don't know really well. But rest assured he or she will be in safe hands throughout. We send constant pup dates pics and can do video calls if needed!
A typical evening stay would involve an evening walk, including fetch or whichever game your pooch prefers, then home to chill before bedtime. During the day we'd have two walkies a day, treats and then chilling at home or in the garden. If your dog has a certain preferred routine then please do message to let us know!
Services
We offer two walks a day when day boarding, one morning and one evening, if night boarding, one morning and one evening, alongside the general walks on weekends eg. sat and sun longer walks.
We can board up to 2 dogs at one time, plus our dog Stanley.
We live in a two bed and bathroom house with a small garden. Its me and James my partner who also helps out with dog sitting and walking, and of course Stanley who is a Pekingese cross 11.5 years old. We have a baby who is 10 months old so any guests will have to be ok with small babies, we do have a playpen for the baby, and dogs and babies never left unattended.
Sorry we cannot take puppies under 1 year or un neutered dogs, unless they are senior. From experience it doesn't work with Stan.
We have a decked, concrete, and bark wood chip garden, is fully fenced and the gate is secured. In the hot summer months we have a paddling pool for the dogs.

Just the biggest thank you to Mina, James, Theo and little Stanley for looking after Secco last weekend. It's always hard leaving a pet but I was reassured as soon as I met Mina, that Secco would be well looked after. I received regular updates and photos and it looked as though Secco had well and truly made herself at home within your little family and I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND xx
Mina and James could not have done more to accommodate our dog Milo for a long weekend. They made him part of the family.
We loved receiving the many and varied photos of our dog on numerous walks; it really put us at ease.
In building up to the booking Mina responded to any questions promptly and helpfully. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the Southampton area.
