Just had Chris visit our pup including a group walk twice a day for 5 days! What more can I say other than brilliant service! Polite and genuine man! Fredrick was one very happy puppy! And Chris was willing to accommodate any requirements during the week! As Fredrick wasn’t used to being on his own changes needed to be made once we found out how he would cope and nothing was a problem for Chris! Would recommend and will use again! More...

He has a very good knowledge of all animals, understands both customer and animal needs. plus just a generally nice person altogether.
I have known him for 26 years and most of that was working with animals or helping create animal habitats. Snakes, fish, lizards you name it he'll know what to do.
This is his dream so why not give him a call :D

Used Chris’ services back in February when I was working away and my partner was on shift. He came morning and lunch and not only did he make sure Fredrick was happy but he also cleared up anything he may have destroyed (first time on his own so bound to happen). Chris was very accommodating and flexible and I can tell by the pictures that Fredrick just loved being out and about with him! I would not hesitate to recommend Chris and will definitely be using his services in the future! Thank you so much for helping make my week away from Fred that much better as I did not have to worry about him! More...

So, what can I say about Chris and CGS Pet Services?
You would not want your pet, be it dog or goldfish, to be looked after by anyone else other than yourself!
Chris has been of invaluable help to us and our young pup Texa, visiting at lunchtimes, feeding, playing games with her and even clearing up!
He has a genuine love and interest for all animals and their wellbeing and is very knowledgeable in all aspects of animal welfare and dog behaviour.
He is honest, trustworthy, reliable, conscientious, extremely capable, responsible and a really nice guy!
I am genuinely sad that we do not need Chris's help at the moment with Texa, but we will definitely be calling him for any future care or advice that we may need. Thoroughly recommend :)

Dog Walking
We offer a range of walking services to suit your dog's individual exercise and social needs. Starting at 30 minute walks for those who may need a more sedentary pace, to 60 minute and 120 minute hikes for those who need an appropriate outlet for their boundless energy. We do not include travel time in the walks so dogs will be exercised for the full time agreed.
All dogs on walks with us will be transported in a fully equipped vehicle, fitted with safe, appropriate transport cages. All equipment can be provided, although most pets prefer the use of their usual lead/harness. Collection from and drop off back home are included in the service. Fresh drinking water is always provided for walks and also a variety of treats will be provided in moderation (any special dietary requirements will be discussed as part of our free initial consultation).
For group walks we will endeavor to match each dog's size, age and temperament to ensure a happy and sociable walking environment for all. We keep to small groups to ensure each dog gets the attention and stimulation they need (maximum 4 dogs per walker). It is imperative that every dog in a group is comfortable with the social situation they find themselves in, therefore we will only match suitable walking groups together and with the permission of all owners.
We also offer a solo/single household walking service for dogs that may not appreciate group socialisation.
We utilise a variety of quality dog walking spots in and around Southampton, and will often take trips to the New Forest and dog friendly beaches in our longer treks and activity hikes but are always on the lookout for new places to explore.
Pet "drop in" Visits
We offer a range of drop in pet care services for those pets who prefer their home comforts, from a quick stop by to check in and feed to a full holiday care package. We will always stick closely to your chosen timetable to minimise any disturbance to your pet's routine and are always happy to help with everyday tasks around the house like watering plants, feeding fish and collecting post for example. On puppy visits we can include a short walk as part of our visit at no extra cost (usually around 15-20 minutes maximum).
With experience caring for a wide range of animals from small mammals, fish, reptiles, cats, dogs and birds CGS Pet Services can help keep your pets safe and happy while you are away. All pet carers with CGS are trained pet first aiders and are fully insured as designated key holders.
