About: Hello, I’m saskia, a certified lover of all animals!! I have experience looking after my neighbours dog, taking him for walks and letting him out! Aswell as walking and spending lots of time with family and friends dogs and looking after them for extended periods. I have had cats my whole life so very comfortable looking after them and the duties that come with that! I will send you pictures of your furry friends throughout my visit to keep you updated. My availability is extremely flexible and I would love to spend time with your pets giving them all my love and attention!! I have experience with injecting a diabetic cat, so would be comfortable giving injected medicine if needed. I’m currently studying online so I am extremely flexible and can do any weekday / times for any length of time! Weekends are available too with more notice. I’m local to Tilehurst and Reading so can do multiple drop in a days if easier. I’m happy to work with whatever is best for you and your pets :) I am happy to do house sits as I can do my University work from anywhere. I will leave the house as I find it, and will follow all guidance and instructions you have for me when looking after your pets and being in your home!

“Liliana has been incredible with our girl Nala. She walked her for us first time aug/sept 2023. We chose to go for her again as Nala really seemed to enjoy the walks and trusted her from the start.. Liliana also went above and beyond, even going over the allocated time which was so nice of her. Very reliable and punctual ☺️ will definitely choose her again 🐾”


“Aimee was fantastic with Boycie! Super friendly and even came over to meet him the day before. She was very communicative (despite me not being responsive because of my terrible signal at a rural wedding!) Would definitely recommend.”


“Ava and her partner did amazing job to walk Sandi. It is not easy to walk Sandi as he is still a puppy. They are very patient and thoughtful and I can tell Sandi had great time with them!”


“I can't express how grateful I am for the exceptional care you provided for Shiro while we were away. You are truly amazing. Shiro loved his walks with you and will definitely miss you. Thank you once again!”


About: Hello, I’m a big animal lover. I’ve had animals all my life from big to small dogs, cats and chickens. I’m a very friendly and affectionate person. I’m a stay at home mom to three kids, and live in a house with a big garden. I’m very good at dog walking, administering medication, and giving cuddles. Looking forward to meeting your furry baby! I’m a stay at home mum, this allows me to give lots of attention, cuddles and play time. I have a large back garden and great woodland walks near where I live. I have a large house with a big garden. I have cats at home that can easily be separated to a different part of the house. And a large outside dog pen if needed.

About: I've the experience of taking care of 2 cute cats and my parent's dog for more than 4 years. Those were my real kids to be honest! I'm currently a master student, I'm free for all the days of the week except for Monday and Thursday's morning. I would be more than happy to take care of pets in my weekends I would be responsible for watching them to make sure nothing threatens them. It's not only about having food, water or showering regularly, but also for watching them not to get out or biting anything dangerous!

About: i have had multiple pets in my life who all had their own individual needs, so lots of experience with different personalities and level of care i do work full time in a care setting but would love to take on caring for pets in my spare time, my schedule is semi-flexible no current pets in my household so my attention will not be on another pet, safe walkable neighbourhood with plenty of parks near by. a small but safe back garden

About: I have cared for pets since I was young, I looked after my neighbours cat, including house sitting (yes.. even though they’re my neighbours) and I have my own pet called Reggie who I look after and cherish as I treat him like he’s my very own baby! I have experience in oral medication administration for cats and dogs - including liquid medication into their mouths through a syringe or crushing up tablets into their food/ snacks. I enjoy going on walks whether they’re short or long and will give them all the love they may miss if you are away! I have graduated from University, I did Criminology & Psychology for 3 years and now I have moved back home. I worked in a supermarket for 3 years and worked on the customer service desk but want a change from fixed work hours now I am back home and want more flexibility. Now I’m finished from University I’m now free from all academia, I don’t want to go straight into working in an office. I adore pets, I have a dog myself called Reggie and I love going for walks, and will most certainly always be free to look after yours! Previously I have always discussed with the owner what they want, and what their normal schedule is as I find animals feel more comfortable if they stick to their regular schedule they have with their owner, that way they can still feel comfortable when their owner isn’t there. I will send regular updates day to day and photos so you can see what your pet gets up to while you are gone, also just for peace of mind as I know it’s easy to worry when you are away from your pet :)

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I’m skilled at providing personalized care that suits each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup or offering extra comfort to a more relaxed dog, I know how to create a safe and happy environment. I’m experienced in managing different temperaments and providing both playtime and downtime. You can trust that your dog will feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. I offer very flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs - whether it’s a one time sitting or recurring. I work from home almost every day and have availability most weekends. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing is my top priority. I’m fully committed to following any special instructions or routines you have, ensuring consistency in their care. With a focus on trust and transparency, I can update you with photos and messages so you always feel confident your dog is in safe hands.

“Delci jumped in last minute for a dog walk, as I had to go to the hospital. She immediately agreed to do everything as requested and was very easy and kind to deal with. I‘d definitely trust her with my puppy again!”


About: I've always been an animal lover and have been lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets - from dogs and cats to snakes and hamsters. Over the last few years I have been a member of trusted housesitters, looking after dogs and cats all over the world (with nothing but positive reviews). I am also regularly caring for my brother's mastiff and now have two cats of my own. I have an advanced DBS check, my own pet insurance in addition to the cover provided by Rover and would love to look after your furry friends! I'm a full-time firefighter working a four on/four off shift pattern, so the days that I am available I will be available all day/night. Please check my availability calendar for details. I am respectful and tidy, and will take the upmost care of your home as well as your pets. Anything you need doing while your away (i.e., taking out the bins, watering your plants) just let me know...and I'll ensure your house is just as you left it when you get back!

About: We had a family dog since I was 10! Always loved them, caring for them and giving them the best life! Looking forward to meeting your pup and giving them lots of love :) I work from home so could potentially sit and take for lunchtime walks and wee breaks throughout the day. Happy to chat through whatever works best for your pup :) I live in a house with a small, enclosed garden that my dog is very happy in. I also live around the corner from a small park and 10 minute walk from a large park where me and tadhg spend a lot of time!

About: **MY ‘DAYCARE’ SERVICE IS TO LOOK AFTER PETS IN YOUR HOME (RATHER THAN MINE), BETWEEN 1.5-5 HOURS** Thanks for checking out my profile! I’m Naomi, 32, and currently living in central Reading. I am back to look for some lovely pets to take care of after having a break - previous to this I have been pet sitting using this app regularly for around 2.5 years. I’ve been looking after pets for nearly all of my adult life, and have owned pets since I was a child. I’m more experienced with cats since I grew up with them but I’ve spent a lot of time looking after dogs for friends, family and local dog owners needing dog walking or dog/housesitting. I’ve been taking care of dogs, walking and/or housesitting, for people around Reading/Berkshire for about 3 years now, including with use of this great app. The services and pricing structure is a little complicated so I will break it down here - • Dog walks and drop-in visits (30 minutes to an hour) / £15 - puppy rate £18 - peak rate (holidays) £20 - cat rate £15 - each additional dog +£10, additional cat +£5 - these prices would be for each visit during a day (for example a morning & evening would be separate) • Daycare in your home (1.5-5 hours) / £25 - puppy rate £28 - peak rate (holidays) £30 - each additional dog or cat +£10 • Housesittings (+5 hours or overnight) / £35 - puppy rate £38 - peak rate (holidays) £40 - each additional dog +£10 - cats £30, each additional cat +£5 I’m happy to travel in areas up to approx. 4 miles from Central Reading, and I will only ask for travel compensation if the journey is over £5 (typically a bus journey to many areas from Central Reading is £4). I can cater to whatever your pet needs, whether that’s lots of playtime, regular walks, any feedings or simply just being in your home with them for company. I’m also very happy to look after a range of dogs/cats and behaviours, I’ve taken care of quite a spectrum so I’m very good at adapting to your pet & their needs! It’s always my priority to make any pets I’m looking after to be as comfortable and happy as I can. I have good availability and can be very flexible with timing too. I absolutely love animals and spending time with them, and I’m more than happy to dedicate my attention to any pets I am looking after. I make sure to send regular updates & photos to owners or at whatever frequency is preferred, so you know your pet is in good hands! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t think of a time when I haven’t actually had a pet or pets of some sort! Currently I have a little cat that I’ve owned for about 6 years. Working with animals and taking care of them brings me so much joy, and at some point in the future I would love to do some volunteer work with animals in different countries. I am currently out of full time work due to health reasons, meaning I have plenty of availability for pet sitting. I have the occasional commitment but no current regular things to work around, so it would be best to discuss your availability needs if you’d like to get in touch. I can pay very close attention to pets if needed (for example regular runaways, pets jumping into other gardens etc), and am also able to crate dogs if needed. If your pet requires frequent company I am more than happy to spend my time with them and cater to any needs, or simply give them lots of attention!

About: I have grown up with dogs and other pets since I was a baby. I am a lover of all animals and regularly cat sit and dog sit for family members, including Lucky a 1.5 year old poodle mix who is full of energy. I also own 2 cats of my own. Growing up I had a Westie and a chocolate Labrador. I work from home so I can stay with your pet within your home during the week. As I have two cats of my own I cannot stay overnight unless located close to Reading town centre. I cannot drive so you will need to be located within walking distance of Reading town centre or easily accessed via public transport. I am happy to look after your pet in your own home as well as take them out for local walks and play with them as required.

About: I inspire to be a pet sitter as i always grew up to love animals and i have always felt a special connection to them aswell, whether if its just taking out my neighbours dog for a walk or feed my friends cats. i feel like pet sitting isn't just doing that but also bonding with them is the most important if you are in their personal space To create a comforting environment. Personally i own 4 cats and they are like my children to me, as hectic as it gets having them in my flat especially where i currently do not work they love being by my side 20/7 and love it especially exploring outdoors with me. Pet sitting means doing something i love whilst influencing and having a positive impact on the fur babies especially the ones that are in need of more attention and support When they need . Helping pets can easily be part of my routine as i am currently not working and as i am taking care of my pets and my neighbours and as i enjoy it why dont i do it for an actual job during the week I where im not only passionate about it but i also want to help As many animals feel comfortable at home even without their owners being there. Providing a save and comfortable environment for all pets in their own homes when their owners are not there is so important as it makes it easier for everybody every time you travel i offer pet sitting, animal walking, animal feeding and watering, cage cleaning . Any additional services that i do offer is also medicine administration and crate cleaning.

saskia k.Star Sitter
“Saskia stayed at my house for a week to look after my 3 cats. My babies absolutely loved having her here and all the attention they got over the week. She really loves cats and that shows with how comfortable they were with her. She sent me regular updates and pictures throughout the week and not only did I come home to 3 happy cats but also a tidy house. We don’t have a cat flap but they do go outside, so she was there to let them in and out throughout the day, cleaned the litter trays and make sure they had food, water and plenty of play time and cuddles. 10/10 would definitely recommend Saskia and would 100% have her back again for my next trip.”

Emma B.
“Emma loves animals and has looked after our dog for over 6 years. She instinctively knows when an animal needs a cuddle or wants to be entertained, so they never feel neglected. Emma establishes a great routine but varies the 'walkies' routes so it's more fun and she even makes sure he takes his medication (even when he tries to spit it out)! Emma is trustworthy, reliable and we always know our dog will be well cared for in Emma's safe hands. Emma looked after our friends 17 year old cat and their house for over a month whilst his owners were in Oz with no issues and the cat loved watching TV curled up on her lap.”


Giz B.
“Giz took such amazing care of my dog Rex! From the moment they met, I could tell he was in loving hands. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could see how happy and relaxed Rex was with her.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to look after their pet.”

Joanne Y.

“Joanne was fantastic with Luna. She also kept us updated with lots of pictures and messages. Luna really enjoyed her walk with Joanne.”
