The Furry Friend Fairy in Reading

My name is Kiki, I am 35 years old and I have been the long term owner of several dogs over the years. I think that they are the most wonderful and the cutest creature in the world! I enjoy they mutual need of attention and affection that I get when spending time with our 4-legged friends! I once owned a Golden Retriever for 6 years when I lived in China, His name is Daniel. I always take him out for a walk around the city when I finish work, and take him to play with other dogs at the weekend. I’ve had a wonderful time with him over the last 6 years, but now I’ve moved to the UK, so I sadly had to leave him with my mum back home. When living in China, my mum would always have stray dogs wander into her shop. She always fed them and let them inside to take a rest from the hot sun. Many of these dogs became long term companions to our family, so I’ve spent plenty of time with various breeds and sizes of dogs. I want to keep my mum’s tradition of always looking out for dogs, especially when you consider that the general attitude towards animal welfare is less than perfect in the part of the world that I come from! I used to adopted a young cat too. I love spending time with this cat and have even made him a few custom pieces like a scratching post and Christmas house, which he enjoys using and playing with. He's very happy living with me and is great company around both cats and humans. I have enough patience to train dogs and cats. Having trained dogs tricks easily, and I found it’s achievable to train cats too. In fact, I've already trained my cat to do a few, including shake hands, left paw, jump, spin, stand up, and even give high fives! If you'd like, I can even teach your pets some fun tricks! Of course, I'll only teach them tricks if they're comfortable and willing to learn.

Milo had the best time with Kiki, partner and lovely cat! Throughout the time milo was with them I was given continuous updates throughout the day. I am quite a nervous dog mum and Kiki calmed my nerves my being so communicative. She sent me such beautiful pictures of their walks and them together. Thank you so much, I will absolutely continue to use Kiki as our sitter!

I work from home everyday, having a pet would keep me company and give me a good excuse to get out from the house. I will take the dogs to the park and play some games.

Safety, trust & environment

My time spent with your dog will be spending time inside of house and going out for a nice walk. Walking and playing with dog is such an enjoyable experience because I get to exercise whilst being in good company! I have a flexible schedule because I work from home. That's why I have decided to take care of dogs as part of my daily routine. I will gladly look after dogs on a daily basis and take dogs for walks. I will keep you updated on how your fur babies are whilst your away, i can send photos & messages if you wish.

Pets

A typical day

At my pet sitting service, I prioritise keeping dogs happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and preferences, so I take the time to get to know each dog and provide personalized care. A typical day with dog I watch starts with a morning walk to help them stretch their legs and get some fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to take them for a walk every 3-4 hours to prevent boredom and promote good health. This is a great way for me to distract myself from PC work too! During these walks, we will explore neighborhood and let the dog sniff and investigate the surroundings. I love playing games with the dogs to keep them entertained and active. One of their favorite games is fetch, and I always have a variety of choices on hands to play with, like water bottle or tennis balls. In addition, I will make sure sending pictures or video of your pet while you choose me to be your pet sitter if you want.
