When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Southampton that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Southampton to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Southampton. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Southampton. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Southampton.

Hi, I’m Charly, a calm, trustworthy pet carer based right here in Southampton. I’ve loved animals my whole life — growing up surrounded by dogs and cats taught me that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and routine. I’ve since gained hands‑on experience caring for all ages and temperaments: bouncy puppies, nervous rescues, gentle seniors, and everything in between.

I offer 30‑, 45‑, or 60‑minute home drop‑in visits and 30‑ to 60‑minute walks. Every visit includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, fuss, litter/yard checks, and securing your home; walks follow safe routes at your pet’s pace. I’m comfortable giving medication, and I always stick exactly to your rules and routine. I care for dogs and cats of all sizes, and I’m happy to meet any special needs 
When walking the dogs I make sure I'm in a non busy or crowded place in case the dog I'm looking after is anxious around other dogs. 

I’m available weekdays and weekends, with flexible morning, afternoon, and evening slots. I’m DBS checked, reliable, and will send quick photo updates so you can relax. In an emergency I’ll contact you straight away and act responsibly. I treat every pet exactly as I would want my own to be cared for.

Hi! My name is Ida and I live in Southampton with my partner and our cat Elrond.

I've had cats all my life, which has made me a massive cat lover and taught me how to look after them so they stay happy and healthy. Although I'm new to Pawshake, I have been a cat sitter for about two years. Having looked after many different cats, I appreciate that every cat has its own lovely personality and individual needs. You can count on me to offer your cat lots of cuddles, but also respect their personal space!

I'm responsible, organised and reliable, and I'm happy to do overnight stays or visits once/twice a day.

It's important to me that your cat feels safe and happy. If you book me as your cat sitter, I will arrange to meet with you and your cat beforehand for free, give your cat fresh food and water daily, clean the bowls and litter trays, make lots of time for play and cuddles, and send you daily updates and photos.
I'm also happy to water the plants, collect the post and take the bins out if needed.

If there's anything else you need that I haven't mentioned, or if you have any questions, just drop me a message!


I am an animal lover who lives with my family, all of which are adults and all of whom share a love of animals too. 
We have a detached house in Woolston with a garden all around, ¾ of which the dogs have access to. This area is surrounded by a brick wall with fencing on top: metal side gates complete the security of the gardens, which are split into two areas so dogs can be separated outside if necessary. One side is cooler with more shade, so access is available all through the summer without fear of dogs overheating. 
We live near the city but also not far from a recreational area where dogs can be let off leads to play (about a 5 minute walk). The area has a field and woods. 
Inside, all dogs have the run of the downstairs if appropriate, but they can be separated indoors too. We don't allow them upstairs and we have a non conventional barrier. This may make the hallway look a bit untidy from the door, but it works for us and the dogs really don't mind! 
My first proper pet was a snake but we did have 2 dogs (German shepherds) when I was little. We now have an exotic pet which is a tarantula. Unfortunately Alicia (the snake) has now passed. My mum sometimes has dogs round our house too so I might be limited on how many spaces I can have on certain days. But please get in touch to check as it varies. 
My mum has been a pet sitter since 2015 so I've grown up around various dogs and more recently helped out with looking after them. She has also taken me to help with cat sitting so I have experience with that too. 
I offer house visits for cats, dogs and small animals (including exotics), but my range is somewhat limited due to being unable to drive at present (2024), so I can take busses and/or walk. I am pretty flexible and want to do the best for you and your pet, so please if you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.&nbsp;


Hello! My name is Naxhieli, and I am passionate about caring for pets. I currently have two senior dogs whom I have cared for since they were puppies, which has given me patience, experience, and a deep understanding of the needs of animals at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, including diabetes, and am confident in managing their health and wellbeing.

I offer dog walks tailored to each pet’s needs – from short, relaxed strolls to fun, energetic sessions to ensure dogs are happy, exercised, and stimulated. I can pick up your pets from your home and take them to their favourite walking spots, or, if preferred, we can explore new routes for a bit of adventure.

Additionally, I provide drop-in visits and house sitting at your home, ensuring your pets are cared for in a familiar environment. I aim to create a safe, loving, and joyful experience for your pets while keeping you updated every step of the way. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends as if they were my own.
