The 30 Best Pets in Southampton

“Nice and friendly staff 5 stars”

“Fab, Brilliant and superb. Ever since their very first visit to this cattery my cats have always been very happy here. Lovely atmosphere and all the staff genuinely love cats. They are very accommodating and flexible of my 2 - simply wouldn't take mine anywhere else.”

“Lovely boarding facility, Abi is incredible with our bunnies! We had our bunnies do a long stay boarding, which we were initially really anxious about but from day one they were incredible, they let us cone view the facility before we booked and spent a lot of time answering all our questions, whilst in hoarding they took excellent care of the bunnies, who were all very happy there - I know cause they let us visit, which was amazing! They even helped us arrange a vet visit so our buns could get the vaccines. We felt 100% happy having our buns in the entire time. Couldn't recommend them enough!”

“We were so happy with our experience with Chestnut Cattery. Stacy was lovely and patient with our cats that needed a bit of help settling in. We would definitely use again. Thank you Stacy!”

“Would highly recommend Sue. Our pooch recently stayed for a week and he was made to feel right at home. He had the most fantastic time playing with the other dogs and enjoyed the lovely walks. We really appreciated the updates and felt so relaxed knowing he was in such safe and caring hands.”

“My cat Vegas is so calm and comfortable when he visits. I know he's in the best hands with Jackie and Tim whilst we are away. If I could stay i would too, I was recommend by one of my clients. Who has been taking her cats to Hotel cat for years. Im so pleased he stays, we can relax knowing he is well looked after and loved at the same time. We will see you soon”

“Georgie, the owner, is marvellous! She takes loving care of our Saffie, who always looks very well, as she did recently, when we collected her after being away on holiday! The hotel is kept small to give frequent individual attention. The living quarters are superb! I Highly recommend Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotel!”

“I own three house bunnies and I cannot recommend Jacqui and Mark enough for anyone needing bunny boarding services! As a rabbit owner, it's always nerve-wracking to leave my three special little ones in someone else's care, but Jacqui and Mark are true rabbit lovers. Their kindness and passion for bunnies shine through in everything they do, giving me complete peace of mind while I'm away on holiday. It’s clear they understand the specialised care rabbits require, and they handle it all with ease and expertise. Thank you, Jacqui and Mark, for your exceptional service!”

“Boots has been going to Hairy Poppins for 2 years now, and I would not go anywhere else. It is the perfect one stop shop offering best practice in doggy daycare and expert grooming. I am often stopped and asked where I had my dog groomed, I always tell them. Tracy and Sam are wonderful with the dogs, and I am able to drop Boots at the door literally as he cant get through it fast enough! He is a very happy pooch, and loves both Sam, Tracy and Sarah. A wonderful Professional Team with expert skills qualifications and knowledge but who genuinely really care for our fur babies. Would highly recommend Hairy Poppins to anyone with high standards and high expectations and who want a happy healthy dog.”

“It doesn’t get much better than Gambledown Farm! We hosted our wedding weekend here and it was truly perfect. Tamara and her team were incredibly welcoming and supportive every step of the way. Having all of our friends and family stay on site made the whole experience even more special. From the very first planning stages through to after the wedding, Tamara went above and beyond - we couldn’t recommend Gambledown more, whether for a wedding or even a cosy staycation. The grounds are immaculate, beautifully green, and set against stunning countryside with plenty of charming farm animals. If we could do it all over again, we absolutely would!”

“Sarah has been a lifesaver for us and our cat. She visits our home, feeds our cat, and always sends lovely photo updates from each visit — which gives us real peace of mind while we're away. She even goes the extra mile by putting the bins out and collecting the post! The whole process is so much simpler and less stressful than booking a cattery. No need to wrestle our cat into a carrier or worry about her being around unfamiliar cats. She's noticeably calmer staying in her own space, and we’re more relaxed knowing she’s in safe hands. Sarah is professional, friendly, and completely trustworthy — we had no concerns at all about leaving our house keys with her. And as an added bonus, her service is more affordable than a cattery! We would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”

“We have used Petpals for the last 5 years to go in and feed our cat Tinkerbell whenever we go on holiday. They are brilliant and we always come home to a happy kitty! They are very trustworthy and reliable and it is reassuring to know that there is someone popping by the house everyday just to keep an eye on things as well as our cat. They don't just feed her they also make time to have a cuddle and a play which is lovely! For anybody that has a cat that doesn't like going into a cattery we highly recommend this husband and wife duo as an alternative as it means your furbabies can stay at home where they feel comfortable. Thank you Petpals!”

“We feel so lucky to have found Amanda! She is absolutely wonderful with our dog, who clearly loves his outings with her. Amanda has also checked in and looked after our cats whilst we have been away and it was great to know that they were being so well cared for. Always understanding when there have been changes to our weekly schedule, we really couldn't manage without her.”

“We could not recommend Tina and Nic’s place more, we had an absolutely perfect stay. Firstly, Tina offered to pick us up from the train station since it was supposed to rain when we arrived, and when we made it to her place she greeted us with a fresh cup of tea. The place is immaculate yet so cosy, and our room was beautiful with a very comfortable bed and big clawfoot bathtub! We could see some of the New Forest wild horses from our window, and Tina and Nic had even provided chocolate bunnies as we were there over Easter. The place is perfectly situated, as if you turn right you can walk straight into the forest, and if you turn left you can easily get to the main street in less than 10 mins. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and fresh, and Tina even has wellies, rain coats, etc. so that you are prepared for any sort of weather. She was also able to help recommend some hikes and walks so that we could get the most out of our weekend. We will absolutely be back!”

“Lovely groomer. She looked after our little puppy Raisin. I was nervous at first as it was the first time. But the groomer did an awesome job. My pup looks so much neater and smells incredible.”

“Excellent dog grooming highly recommend. Mischief loves coming here”

“Great service from Hair Bears. Poppy is a Husky x Collie, so she has very thick fur. Cheryl took great care into looking after Poppy as she can sometimes be quite a nervous dog. She came back smelling lovely and looking very smart and shiny. She even had a cute bandana!”

“Caws4Paws grooming services is such a great experience! It's run by Leah who is truly a dog person and I love dropping my dog off - he runs to her without a backwards glance at me showing that he is very happy with her. As my dog is a mixed breed it has been great working with Leah to see what styles best suits him. She's so professional and I can rely on her to send my furry baby back looking his absolute best.”

“After being quoted £600 by my vet for a dental scale and polish (no extractions needed) I was so shocked by that rip off price that I started looking for alternatives and I am so happy I found Chesters dog grooming! Adrian is great and very knowledgeable and in only three sessions my girl’s teeth look amazing and no more stinky breath!!! Highly recommend x”

“Been taking our Duke to Carly since his first groom and he loves it! Duke always come back looking smart and smelling great. Highly recommended.”

“I found Hampshire Dogs Walks on Facebook and contacted them. Angus immediately made me feel listened to and he understood my position with my 7 month dog reactive GSD. Over the past few weeks his walking with Angus has helped so much and now am joining them anc my confidence has increased. Check them out ... you won't be disappointed. Jan @ Jackson”
