The Furry Friend Fairy in Reading

Pet care experience

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! As a lifelong animal lover, I couldn't imagine living without pets in my life. That's why, in September 2022, I adopted a young cat named Noodle. He's become my constant companion and I love him with all my heart. I love spending time with him 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 Noodle 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.

You’ve been fantastic. I came back to a spotless house and a visibly happy cat. Thanks a lot Kiki!

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!

My time spent with your dog will be made useful by exploring the Uni of Reading, spending time inside its parks and greens. Walking and playing with dog is such an enjoyable experience because I get to exercise whilst being in good company! I'm living in RG1, near the University of Reading, 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 around the more rural areas of Reading. I will keep you updated on how your fur babies are whilst your away, i can send photos & messages if you wish.

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.

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. I can look after cats at my current flat, this could get Noodle company too. Noodle has been spending time with family dog and other cats too, he is very friendly with others and has never shown any aggressions towards new pets in the house, and instead, he’s always eager to make new friends. In fact, he’ll often follow new arrivals around the house, trying to get to know them. I have what cats need for a day at home, when you choose me as your pet sitter, you can rest assured that Noodle will be there to provide extra love and companionship to your pets. He’ll be happy to play with them and keep them company, and he’ll never shy away from making new furry friends.
