We had 5 rats we needed to be looked after while we went on holiday for 2 weeks. Rachel was prompt with her email replies and was available for the dates of our holiday. Rachel was really thorough about what would be supplied, the online portal was really easy to fill in and before I knew it, it was time to drop off the ratbags. I loved seeing the posts on the Facebook group about their adventures, how they were doing and I could clearly see they were having a great time and well looked after. 1 of our boys was really poorly and Rachel did a great job looking after him. We were delayed returning home and there was no issues with Rachel keeping hold of them until we got back. I highly recommend Rachel, the service was outstanding, very affordable and great that there was someone local to us that was comfortable with taking in rats. The boys loved her!
10/10 would recommend Rachel if you’re looking for someone to look after your rats whilst you’re away. My 4 boys stayed with her whilst I was on Holiday and right from the start she made me feel so reassured that they’d be well looked after. We had a cup of tea together whilst I set them up in their holiday cage and Rachel took notes about each of the boys and anything specific to look out for whilst they stayed with her. I felt that no request was too much to ask and since she has rats herself she already knew about good rat care. I loved seeing daily updates of them and was truly able to just relax and enjoy my holiday knowing that my boys were given the best care. It’s hard to find someone that really knows rat care to look after your rats whilst you’re away, I couldn’t be happier finding someone reliable that was able to keep their exact home routine going without ever making me feel like I was asking too much! Couldn’t recommend Rachel enough for all your rattie needs.
The woofpack are extremely professional and diligent I couldn't recommend enough! They have looked after our dog since he was a pup (accommodating puppy visits around their busy schedule). Not only have they helped walk him while we are at work, they have definitely added so much in terms of his training, it's obvious that they spend quality time with him. It's so nice to know he's in good hands, and they have been so helpful in offering advice too!
The Woof Pack team are skilled and caring when working with our dog. She adores her dog walker and he has helped us by building her confidence when out and about near other dogs. Thoroughly recommend.
Cant recommend enoughexcellent service fantastic with my dogs truatworthing reliable
Thank you for the stars, Sonny!
Kelly has looked out for my two gerbils on two occasions now and she is brilliant: she sends updates and visits beforehand too - even for little fluffs! Highly recommend.
Kelly has been walking my Labrador Hubble for about 18 months. Kelly is professional, trustworthy and caring. Kelly has never let me down even when she is poorly. Kelly has my house keys which I am very comfortable with. I trust her with my precious boy so why not my house?! Highly recommend Kelly. She is wonderful with animals and has been a great friend to me in difficult times.
I have used Kelly to care for my cats on long weekends on two occasions now. I was apprehensive about leaving my cats and home with someone I didn't know but from the first conversation with Kelly I felt reassured. She is flexible and keeps me up to date with photos etc. She genuinely cares about the animals. When I get back from being away they are calm and happy. The best review is from the cats themselves who adore Kelly. Last time Kelly popped the keys back one of my cats ran up to her making all sorts of excited noises and my shy cat has taken to her very quickly. Will deffinately be using Kelly again.
Kelly has looked after our cat Amy 3 times, and each time we were very happy with her service. We always got regular updates (including pictures), and Amy is always relaxed and happy when we get home. Kelly genuinely cares for animals and it gives us confidence to go away and enjoy our holiday without needing to worry. Before the most recent holiday, Amy had an eye injury, and required careful monitoring and medication. As usual Kelly was just brilliant with both us and Amy.
Kelly has been looking after my dog Tia for the past couple of months and has been absolutely brilliant. I was quite worried about finding someone who would be patient with my dog as she is quite shy and a bit nervous, but Kelly has been great. She has been very patient with her, spending time with her and taking her out and Tia looks forward to Kelly coming to see her. I am really really pleased with the service which Kelly has provided for me so far and will be using her for a long time to come. I would highly recommend her services.
We were looking for someone to come in and look after our little ones while we were on holiday, we found Kelly's Pet Care on google and from the minute we contacted Kelly, we knew we were in good hands. The home visit service was excellent and we knew we had nothing to worry about whilst we were away. Kelly kept us continuously updated as to how the little ones were doing and also sent us pics of how happy the were while we were on holiday. I would highly recommend Kelly for her amazing service.
Kelly will have been taking Puzzle for his morning and afternoon walks for almost a year now and I have to say how pleased I am with the service she provides. Puzzle really gets on with Kelly and I'm sure he likes the fact that he is the only dog getting her attention when he takes her to the park for his run about. The other good thing is that Kelly sends text message after he's been out to tell me how he is, and this I do really appreciate. Highly recommend Kellys Pet Care!
I have been using Kelly's Pet Care for the past 3 weeks to look after my dog, Odin. Kelly visits once a day while I am at work, to take him out and spend some quality time with him. The service we have received from Kelly is excellent, I love the updates I receive after every visit, knowing that he is ok and happy while I'm not there is a huge relief and Odin is always content and happy when I get home. The one on one walks that Kelly offers are brilliant, it allows Odin to get all the attention for the hour and I don't have to worry that he will be with other dogs that he doesn't get on with. I highly recommend Kelly's Pet Care and the services she offers.
Wonderful service and a very patient lady with my three boys. There was no rush to "get it done" which was great because one is very timid. Now all my cats are chipped and napping happily.
Kelly has looked after our cat on a couple of occasions. Each time we have been kept up to date with photos and messages on how he is doing and I know that he looks forward to Kelly visiting him!
Cannot recommend Elaine enough! Our Vizsla has been going to day care once a week with Elaine and Tim since we got her nearly 2 years ago. Maia absolutely loves going around there and I trust that she is in their safe hands completely when I’m in the office. I am so so so pleased that Elaine has started doing training sessions now too! We just had a 121 to work on lead walking and lead reactivity, as she pulls when walking and recently started barking/being worried when we see another dog. Elaine took the time to really understand what had happened when these barking moments on the lead happened and helped me to understand what is going on and how to manage positively. She also broke down the lead walking step by step and made it simple to understand. And how to build it up gently and slowly in different environments. We’ve practiced the guidance Elaine suggested and already we’ve seen an improvement!!! Elaine understands dogs and wants them to thrive. She uses positive reinforcement only and it works incredibly. Will 100% book more training sessions with her!
Elaine is a very skilled and passionate professional in the field of dog care and is also so caring and compassionate. Bertie absolutely loves going to stay at Wagg & Heels, it is like home from home and we feel so happy leaving him there. He has so much fun on his daily walks and is looked after like he is family.
Our 18 month old labrador 'Parker' went for his first holiday with Elaine, who was fantastic from first contact, and is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. Parker had an amazing holiday and settled quickly. Elaine was also kind enough to send us pictures of him with his new friends, to help put our mind at rest and be able to relax and enjoy our break with ease. We will definitely be using her services again.
Elaine is an absolute star, she has walked my two cocker spaniels for over a year now. I have been shielding and was worried about my dogs but with Elaine on the case all worrying was unnecessary. We set up a system to protect me and it worked perfectly. One of my dogs had to have his eyes removed and is therefore vulnerable but I have no worries at all with him being in Elaine's very capable and loving hands.
Our dog is quite nervous, especially of new people but I'm pretty sure she prefers Elaine than me now 🤣 I only wish there were lots more of Elaine and her husband so that our dog could go to daycare more often. …
I was able to get my little boy Murphy picked up and walked at very short notice whilst I was working in Hayling Island. A great company to deal with. Would recommend 100%
Elaine was brilliant with our dog
Great service
When Terry comes to collect my daughter's dog Tyler for his walk,Tyler is so excited to see him. Tyler is so relaxed and trusting with Terry and you can see how much Terry loves Tyler. Always updated on about the walks and lovely photos and also any problems. Excellent service.
We've been using We Love Pets Portsmouth since the beginning of October 2023. They're the best walkers we have found for our nearly 5 year old chocolate Labrador. Who is a very excitable boy. He loves his walkers and always looks happy on his walks. We get updates every walk with photos, videos, and feedback about his walk. We would highly recommend We Love Pets Portsmouth.
Amazing service from We Love Pets, communication was fantastic, I received daily photos and videos from the sitter which was hugely reassuring. We will definitely be using We Love Pets again, Liz was absolutely amazing with our pooch, can’t thank her and Elkie enough! 😊 …
I've been using We Love Pets for a couple of years now and they have always provided a professional and reliable service. I can always rely on my dog being well looked after and happy with their best interests looked after. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful company Elkie is super organised and my dog walkers Terry,Mollie and kiera, always look after Alfie so well (he's a cheeky crazy 1 year old ) they keep me updated with pictures and videos of his walks each day. And he returns home tired and ready to nap. Absolutely can't recommend this company enough
We had a lovely experience with We Love Pets! Our dog is a bit nervy around strange dogs and I didn't like the thought of her being in a kennel. Liz came to our house and house/petsat for the entire long weekend. Our dog got the attention she is used to as well as the walks she is used to! We got regular updates which meant I could relax and enjoy my time away without stressing! Would recommend very highly!
Elike has been walking with Rafi for over 2 years. He loves these walks. Very professional service, I recommend 100%. It's a big help for me, I'm happy when I know that Rafi has great walks with his friends from We Love Pets.
We Love Pets Portsmouth was the best thing I ever did for my doggo Tyler. The service is brilliant. All of the walkers are amazing. They are flexible and accomidating. Tyler looks forward to his walks every week and they honestly have made a world of difference to his life.
Elkie looked after our 2 cats while we were on holiday for 10 days and we couldn’t have asked more from her. She came for an initial consultation to find out about their needs and to get to know them a bit - they were more than happy with her. When we got home it was like we’d never been away, they were calm and relaxed and we could tell they’d been looked after. We would 100% recommend and use her again!
We love pets Portsmouth have been fantastic for our dog Albie! He has unfortunely had a lot of medical issues in the last year and they have gone above and beyond to help us with the recovery process and his changing needs! He has walks with the team and also boards on occasion. Both services are brilliant! Would 100% recommend!
Nikki is absolutely amazing! I was so worried about leaving my dog with someone else but she made me feel so comfortable and I know that my dog is being looked after by a genuine dog lover! Really would recommend her. I work long hours and she is willing to accommodate that. Really reasonable pricing. Whenever my pup stays here he is always happy and looking forward to bed! xx
You wouldn't find a better place or person to take care of your dogs, be it a walk or boarding ! She's the best !!!
This Lady is so sensitive to the dogs she boards & looks after, I really really would leave my dog with her knowing she’s safe & sound.
Brilliant service from Nic Dogs so happy there Definitely recommend
Truly the best dog hotel in the business. I got a quick response about their availability and soon enough my four legged son had his room booked. When I dropped him off I was welcomed by one of the lovely boys who help look after the dogs. Soon my trip was over and I was happy to get home but sadly I couldn’t say the same about my dog who was not wanting to leave. As soon as we arrived home he hit the deck and passed out from how tired he was the constant attention he had been given there. When you’re the best dog hotel in the world they got a name for you, they don’t call you the greatest dog hotel. They call you Rios retreat
They treat your dog as if he/she is a part of their family. 🐕🐩🐶🐾 …
Finding the right home boarder for my dog that met our families needs was so important to us. The fact we found someone that cared for our pup like we do is priceless. I didn’t even need to worry about rescheduling vets and groomers appointments as Abbi even took him to these for us whilst he was in her care. The dog walking service is brilliant. Benny enjoys his walks with his friend(s) immensely and it’s a huge weight lifted off this busy working mums mind knowing my dog is well catered and cared for. As a brachycephalic breed Benny needs a higher level of care and attention when being exercised and especially during the hotter summer months, something Abbi takes in her stride and with confidence. The fact he gets so excited when arriving for doggy day care proves we chose the right place. Having used all the services on offer I honestly cannot recommend a better service. Your dog won’t be disappointed and neither will you be!
It is obvious that Abbi is a keen dog lover who takes her responsibilities seriously and lola is always so excited to see Abbi and enjoys her time immensely. Exceptional care, exceptional service. I highly recommend this great local service and I know lola would too!
Abbi is a dedicated pet owner who loves animals. She will treat your pet as she does her own, with love compassion and affection.
Professional and reliable, Abbi is caring, very patient and friendly with all the animals she takes on, she treats them like her own, a brilliant efficient service 🐾 …
Thank you for 5 stars! It was lovely to meet you and your lovely Labrador Holly.
I’ve left my rabbits Pingu & Ted with Bobby 3 times now - every time they have had a lovely holiday, they are well cared for and given plenty of attention and space. I have peace of mind leaving my boys with someone I know takes fantastic care of them. Thank you!
A great boarding service. Lovely location. Animals get time in the run and are well cared for by Bobby. Would definitely reccomend. My rabbit had a great time
We are really pleased with the way Bobby looked after our lovely bunny, Bella this summer ☺️. The bunny hutches are very well maintained. The Runs which are in his lovely garden, are large enough and well equipped with everything a bunny needs! We could tell that he genuinely loves and cares for the bunnies and it is not just a business! Bobby is flexible with the drop off and collection times which was very helpful to us. We highly recommend him and will certainly use his Bunny boarding service again. 😊
I used this business to board my rabbit Bobby whilst out of the country. This service is exceptional and comes with my highest recommendation. My pet was handled with love, care and affection throughout his stay. I cannot fault them and will definitely be using them again in the future.
My partner and I booked in our two rabbits Hank and Mouse for a two week stay at Bobby's and we were so impressed with the service that he provided. We opted for the free roam service, which meant Hank and Mouse got access to Bobby's lvery large living room, as well as an ourdoor run in the day time. Considering we live in a flat without a lawn, this meant our buns got to enjoy being ouside which we (and they!) were super happy about. Bobby provided us with regular updates and pictures so we could see how they were getting on in their home away from home. He is also obviously extremely experienced with rabbits, and we felt like they were in very safe hands during their stay. Asides from the service for Hank and Mouse, we were also really impressed with the flexibility and options that Bobby provided for delivery and pick up. Due to various travel logistics, we were not able to drive to Bobby's to pick our buns up after our holiday. As such, Bobby arranged to meet me at Havant train station, where we did the handover. This was incredibly helpful and kind of him, and took away any stress from having to sort out extra travel arrangements. We would strongly recommend Bobby and will definitely be booking Hank and Mouse in for future holidays. Thanks so much Bobby!
My 4 Bunnies are of to Bobby's again this week and again in May. I wouldn't use anywhere else. Fantastic hutches with heating and lighting,and great outside runs for when the weather is fine. They are so well looked after,I can go away and not worry at all.
All I can say is look no further for your pet boarding needs, Bobby was fantastic, our Rabbit was so relaxed and happy when he came home. He goes above and beyond at every chance, the accommodation was fantastic and he really cares for your pet!
Reggie stayed here for a few days and I would definitely recommend and bring him back here again. Bobby has a lovely big garden, is very knowledgeable, compassionate about rabbits and very friendly. He would send me updates and pictures and really put my mind at rest as i had never left Reggie before. I wouldnt hesitate to send Reggie back again. Thank you Bobby and Wendy 😊
Our three rats had a lovely holiday whilst we had ours. They were very well cared for in homely surroundings. Flexible drop-off and pick-up and reasonable rates. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use again.
Super happy that I've found this awesome place to take care of my dogs when I have to travel ❤️❤️ Sorry😊😊 I thought I reviewed Bonnie's buddies on Hayling I. 😁 But I am sure your place is fantastic eventough I have not had the pleasure to try it out 😍
Amanda is an exceptional cat sitter! She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. My cats warmed up to her right away, and Amanda provided regular updates, giving me peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well-cared for, happy, and comfortable. Highly recommended!
Southsea pet sitting was amazing! Amanda was really reliable and attentive with our little Ozzy. We have never left him before and I felt really reassured, that he was going to be super looked after with Amanda. She kindly sent pictures of him every day and regular updates to reassure us that he was well and happy. Would definitely recommend Amanda to my cat friends and will definitely be using Southsea Cat Sitting again soon.
I cannot speak highly enough of Amanda's exceptional pet-sitting service. She cared for my cat during an incredibly challenging period, as he was recovering from hip surgery while also coping with the loss of his brother. Amanda's attentiveness and genuine concern for my pet's well-being were evident in the regular updates and photos she provided. This not only reassured us but also demonstrated her commitment to ensuring our cat felt loved and cared for in our absence. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.
Everything from the initial consultation to Amanda looking after my cats for 3 weeks was great. It's been a while since I've used a cat sitter and it can be difficult to find someone trustworthy but after meeting a few from the Portsmouth area I'm really happy that I settled on selecting Southsea Pet Sitting. I knew the cats were in good hands and I got updates and photos while away to let me know they were OK.
Amanda is personable, knowledgeable & entirety trustworthy. She obviously really understands cats and puts real effort into engaging & playing with them, as the photos she always provides show. I've previously been nervous about going on holiday & leaving ill or elderly cats, but I trust her to look after them and their needs - highly recommended!
Amanda was the perfect choice for looking after our two rabbits. She was professional, understood and respected that our two weren't particularly social and did a great job keeping their space clean. She also regularly kept us updated with photos when visiting which was just the best touch.
Amanda has taken such lovely care of our house cat over the past 2 years whenever we go away. We have daily photos, and peace of mind. Our cat is an elderly rescue cat, and Amanda is very good with her.
I was nervous about using a cat sitter for the first time but I needn't have been! Amanda was thorough and professional when we met and most importantly my cats loved her! I received regular text and photo updates whilst I was away and returned to 2 very happy cats. I've already booked her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services!
Very happy with the service provided by Amanda. This was our first experience of using a cat sitter to look after our very elderly cat. Amanda did a great job, ensuring he had all his medication and plenty of attention, she sent us regular updates and photos which were much appreciated, thanks Amanda.
Very happy with the way Amanda took care of our cat while we were on holiday. I get the sense Amanda really enjoys her visits to see the cats & other small pets. Punctual & follows requests. She took time to come and have a nice chat before we booked the service so I could ask questions.
Clearly love dogs, shame they don't feel the same about human children. Pedestrians on the pavement near their premises being put at risk because these scum think they have the right to just drive straight across regardless!
Just like to say thank you for to night it was greand the puppy's had fun to Keep up the gr at wark pepper pust t onight
An excellent facility where they really know how to look after dogs properly. Highly recommended 👍 …
Friendly dog day care an dog training to Kennel Club Good Citizens Dog Scheme.
Puppy classes are brilliant, would highly recommend.
The team at the doggy centre are fantastic. So knowledgeable.
Can't get hold of them at all, they don't return my calls or messages
They know how to train your dogs recommended
A good place for dogs and dog walking
Good training and helpful staff
