Dog Boarding in Reading

“It's very easy to leave a 5 star review for Caroline, Alex and Crecho! From the initial contact and right through to Biddy's final day staying with them, Caroline's communication has been excellent. Always responding promptly, and with detail. Drop off was smooth and Biddy was made to feel very welcome from the start. Photos were sent, and gratefully received throughout our trip and it was obvious that Biddy was happy and being very well cared for. Thank you Caroline and family for looking after our girl and enabling us to fully relax when holidaying on the other side of the world 😘 xx”

About: Since day dot, I have always been fascinated with the natural world and all the creatures in it. From a tiny flea to a humpback whale, each creature has its place in the ecosystem. I grew up watching my hero David Attenborough who to this day still educates me about everything wild and how we need to help save the Earth. Animals have always been my lifeblood, having vast amounts of pets over the years, to creating a mini ecosystem in my garden. Each animal I hold in high regard and love each and every one of them. I have worked for the last 20 years with disadvantaged children in social care and in schools but this wasn't always my passion. My passion has always been with animals. I have just started venturing into the world of dog boarding, having looked after my friends Chug for extended periods for approximately 3 years. I also home boarded my brother's 2 cockapoo's and golden retriever and I have since gained further experience home boarding a friend of a friends pair of Chugs. Each dog is treated as if they were family, I want to recreate a home from home experience for every dog in my care including daily walks,sleeping in my bed (if customers are happy for this to take place) brushing, playtime and lots of love and affection. In time i'm looking to gain qualifications in dog care/boarding and well as in dog training. I already have my own pets, and have had numerous small animals in my lifetime including budgies, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and my most favourite pet of all... rats. I currently have 12 pet rats who are super affectionate, highly intelligent and just all round beautiful! I've owned rats for 19 years and I don't think i'll ever not own them. I also have 3 cats. The first Sula is our more timid cat. The 2nd cat Flopsy had 4 kittens during covid (due to neutering being unavailable) which was a beautiful experience to support during the birth and I extensively researched the needs and dietary requirements ensuring they had a healthy start in life before I found exceptional homes for them. Our 3rd cat Henry is a fairly recent addition to the family, having adopted him from an elderly neighbour who could no longer care for him. All three cats were warey of dogs and are now beginning to accept them. They are all outdoor cats and I plan on building them a shelving/sleeping area at the top of my staircase to give them a natural environment indoors. Every animal deserves love, care and affection, they will certainly have that with me! I’d be delighted to meet you and your dog beforehand and spend some time getting to know you both, ensuring I’m the right match for your dog’s needs. I also hold an Enhanced DBS check for added reassurance. I currently work full time, term time in a local school. I have lots of free time over the school holidays and also most weekends. I can offer any hours/overnights you require during this time. I have a long fenced off back garden, access to a field over the back of my house and I am also situated within walking distance to a large grass/wooded area called Prospect Park. I have previously, (with the dog owners consent) taken their dog to the beach with my family. Wherever me and my family go, the dog will come with us, whether that's for dinner, shopping or any other recreation purposes that allow dogs. All activities we do as a family, when we have a dog in my care, will never be excluded or left on their own. I will follow any instructions given by you, including feeding, medication, brushing teeth, walking or any other routines you have for your beloved dog. I own a 3 bedroom house and have 3 children of my own and my partner has two. They vary in age from 4 to 17. Our children are not always at home and spend equal amounts of time with their other parent. All our children are besotted with animals and treat them with the love and respect they deserve.

“Georgina and Thalia took amazing care of Farley whilst we were on holiday. We could tell he was happy and having an amazing time. They communicated well and took lots of pictures and videos, so we could relax knowing he was well taken care of. Thank you both!”

“Chenyan was amazing! So thoughtful and knowledgeable about dog needs and careful about how to integrate them with her lovely dog Mae, and other pups who stayed. No notes! Very responsive and helpful with my older dog. Both my dogs loved her. Highly recommend if you need someone and she is available.”

“Rachel looks after our Mini Schnauzer regularly and I cannot recommend her enough. Not only does he adore her, she is very reliable and provides us with regular updates. Our pup has got to meet and socialise with a number of other dogs too which has been great for him. Highly recommend!”

“My dog Lola was boarding with Sarah and her family and there lovely dog Holly for 9 days and I can’t recommend Sarah services enough she took amazing care of Lola and she became one of the family for entire stay with regular picture updates on Lola with her new bestie Holly could not have asked for more and will 100 percent be using Sarah again.”

“This is the third time I’ve left Teddy with James, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better person to look after him. From the moment we drop Teddy off, I know he’s in safe, loving hands. James is incredibly attentive, sends regular updates and photos, and makes sure Teddy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Teddy always comes back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for – it’s obvious he feels completely at home with James. It’s such a relief to know I can travel without stressing, because James treats Teddy like family. I wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their dog. We’ll definitely be back again!”

“Vinny had a wonderful time staying with Andrea and Luka. Andrea sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave me real peace of mind while he was with her. By the time I picked him up, he was tuckered out and ready for bed. I would thoroughly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.”

“Anya and her family were great host for Buffy. They provided regular updates & photos and it was obvious how quickly they had made Buffy feel at home.”

“Amazing dog sitting for our highly energetic puppy. Such a lovely caring couple it was clear from the get go that willow was going to be well looked after. Throughout the few days, Debika & husband kept me well informed and sent loads of pictures. When picking Willow up she was so happy, it made the entire experience an easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I would highly recommend and will be using again. Thanks 🙏”

“Amanda, Trevor, and their family took exceptional care of our two dogs. They were communicative, kind, and very attentive to our pups throughout the two-week stay. Our large dogs each have their quirks, and it's clear that Amanda and Trevor are both very knowledgeable and compassionate in the way they cared for them. Any pup would be lucky to stay with them!”

Arjun D.
