Dog Walking in Reading

About: Since birth I have always lived with pets. Fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs. From an early age I helped out with an elderly gentleman neighbour who walked dogs for cinnamon trust, I went on to volunteer at events to raise money for the charity. I rescued my 2 year old Jack Russell x English bull terrier and had her until the ripe age of 18. Since then I've always had pets and currently have a fun, playful cockapoo. I am very used to caring and training puppies as well as looking after dogs in their senior years. I understand the nature of dogs, when they need feeding, exercise. I've cared for dogs with extra needs, for example medications or hip issues requiring further assistance/lifting etc. I'm currently working part time from home. I have 3 boys age 7, 11 & 13 who are all huge animal lovers and brilliant at helping out. I am at home during the day, I take my own dog out for a long walk to the park and she gets an afternoon or evening walk. She has constant access to our fenced garden. The weekends we take trips to country parks so the dogs get to explore different places but I am completely flexible and adaptable to the dogs needs. Pets staying with me experience a home from home stay and are fully welcomed into our home and family life. They'd be treated as if they were one of our own!

“Dan is great! She has walked Tommy several times, there's always great communication, her friendly approach and reliability.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives. We’re a couple who grew up with breeds like Shih Tzus, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Japanese Spitz, so caring for dogs feels natural to us. We love giving dogs attention, affection, and gentle care tailored to their needs 🐾 Our home is right next to the Thames river walk, with plenty of green space and scenic paths for relaxed walks, playtime, and fresh air. We make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they would at home 💕 We both have flexible work schedules and can work from home when needed, so we’re able to spend lots of time with your pets 🐶🐱 Weekends and weekdays after 2pm usually work best for boarding, but we’re always happy to chat and see what works for you. We do our best to be flexible and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day 💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priority 🐶🐱 Our home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely go outside, play, and relax. We always supervise outdoor time and carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs. With nearby Thames river walks and plenty of safe green spaces, your pet will enjoy both secure outdoor time and a loving home environment 💕

About: Having owned a number of dogs over the last 20 years I have great experience with them at any age including puppy training and the more senior citizens! I have trained 3 of my previous dogs to be game pickers so can handle highly energised spaniels/ labs. Our rescue spaniel (Moo) is 3 years old and excellent company on walks and play time. I mainly work from home and as a contractor I can set my own work timetable making dog care a priority. My spaniel and I normally go out for a walk early in the morning and later in the day but this can change to suit other dogs needs. We benefit from a fully fenced garden which is large enough for playtime and general toilet breaks. I work from the dining room where my spaniel's bed is and there is ample sofa room in the sitting room for snoozing! My dogs re-call is good but am also very happy to walk her on a long line/ lead.

“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!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, with cats, dogs and even fish! I’ve taken care of them to the best of my ability. I’m currently in college Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, however am free in afternoons and evenings to walk dogs. I’m free all day Tuesday! I’ve been walking my own dog for several years for an hour each day, so I’ve got some good experience - as well as experience with larger and smaller dogs as I’ve walked family and friends dogs before!

About: Hi, I’m Laura 👋🏻 - your seasoned pet sitter and I’m thrilled to offer a warm and personalised experience for you fur baby! A little bit about me...I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I used to look after my nan's puppies every day after school. At my parents' house we've had a cat for as long as I can remember, so I've got plenty of experience looking after cats too.  My first graduate job was working in frundraising at Guide Dogs. We had a dog friendly office as well as a training center on site, so I was surrounded by pups on a daily basis and learnt vital skills about their care and behaviour.  I'm experienced and confident around dogs and cats of all breeds, shapes and sizes. 😊 I have a lot of experience looking after puppies, rescues and senior pets. As I work remotely, I have a pretty flexible schedule and I'm available to take care of your pets most weekdays/weekends. I'm offering doggy daycare at my home, dog walking (30mins+), house visits and house sitting services at your home. I'm comfortable with staying for longer periods of time and looking after the house too, including holidays. I can host dogs in my flat, which is right in front of a lovely park, or provide care in their own home where they feel most at ease. Wherever they stay, I’ll make sure they get the same love, attention, and routine they’re used to — with plenty of updates for you too!

About: I've had dogs ever since I was a kid, and currently have 2 of my own. Both have very different needs, with one being a small energetic terrier, and the other is an affectionate larger dog. I've got experience working with my own dogs' behavioural issues (including reactivity to strangers and other dogs) so I'm confident dealing with different dogs' unique challenges! I'm currently available any day except Thursdays! My schedule is really flexible as my partner works from home, so I can accommodate most situations :) I don't offer home boarding, but I'm happy to drop in and give your dogs whatever attention they need! My own dogs are very creative about getting into trouble, so I'm used to keeping everything safe and dog proof

About: I've had dogs all my life, so you could say I have a lifetime of experience. I've been looking after friends' dogs on and off since I was a young teenager. I'm not a qualified trainer, however, I can help out training puppies. Any rules or training you apply in your home, I'll happily respect them and apply them when your dog is in my care I'm a university student who spends a lot of time in cafes, libraries or my house doing work but I'm an outdoors and dog girl at heart, so I'd love to walk dogs in between classes and ono my days off. I first and foremost respect the pet owner's home as if it were my own. I will always leave the house as I found it. I am a very clean and hygienic person.

“Lucy was very responsive and really great with walking Otto. We're very happy with how she looked after him, and really appreciated the updates and photos. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

About: Hello! I’m Amelie and I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling big, strong breeds as well as smaller dogs too. Daily walks, feeding, playtime, and general care are just part of my normal routine back home and when I’m looking after friends and family dogs. I’m currently at university and i really miss being around dogs day-to-day, which is a big reason as to why I love dog care! I am flexible with timings and extremely reliable, also open to weekly arrangements. I have also volunteered/worked with a puppy training school class twice a week for one summer, where I helped support basic training, socialisation, and good behaviour. This gave me experience working with dogs of different personalities and energy levels.

“Great experience using Charlotte to walk our dog. She met up with us before hand and asked all the right questions and she was very easy to deal with. Also my dog lived her. Will definitely use her again when we need”

About: Although I only recently began caring for my own cat, I have been studying feline behavior and care science for over 10 years. Through hands-on experience with my cat, I am familiar with administering medication, nail trimming, tear stain cleaning, managing soft stools, ear cleaning, and maintaining dental hygiene. If your cat has any special needs related to these areas, you can rely on me to provide patient, attentive, and informed care. As I’m currently taking a career break, I have flexible availability most days from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM, so I can give your cats plenty of time and attention. I currently offer cat-only drop-in visits. During each visit, I can provide dry and wet food feeding (with precise gram measurements if needed), grooming, petting, interactive playtime, litter box cleaning, and medication administration. I’m also happy to clean up any small messes your furry pal may make, ensuring your home stays tidy and your cat stays comfortable.

About: Hi, I’m Kristina😊 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs!🥺 My dog Max and I have been together for over 5.5 years. From a stray with a difficult past, he’s now a little gentleman and very friendly – he’ll love having a new doggy friend around. You can expect lots of love, care, long walks, and a bit of playful chewing when your furry friend stays with me, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. I live in a cozy two-bedroom flat with my partner Mario, close to big parks and meadows along the River Thames, perfect for walks. I’d love to welcome your dog into our home!🐶🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🐾 I am currently not working, so I can fully dedicate my time to caring for dogs. Max and I enjoy long walks every day, multiple play sessions, and lots of cuddles. I am available on weekdays and weekends, so I can provide flexible care throughout the day and evening. Every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while in my care. Max is very friendly, so your dog will have a wonderful companion while staying with us. We live near a walking trail along the River Thames with plenty of green spaces, perfect for running, playing, and enjoying long walks. In my flat, I only take one dog at a time, so I can give them my full attention, love, and care. I make sure all of your dog’s needs are met and we do everything we can to make sure they are happy and enjoy their stay. 😊🐶

“Laura has made my first experience with Rover a great One! Before I booked her for our dog’s first overnight stay with someone outside the family, we met up and had a walk together. Laura gives a very calm and confident impression. After our walk I scheduled a “dog walk” with Pepper, and she came back, happy and tired ( I mean the dog)”

“Priya is an excellent dog walker, she has been very reliable and really good with my dogs, they are very happy to walk with her and I would definitely use her again.”

About: I have a male snipped pug that’s friendly with lots of energy. Have looked after a range of dogs previously. Have a very large garden. Dogs are welcome throughout the whole house and on sofa. Have almost every dog toy! Weekend sitting in my house only. Dog can be kept separate from mine if needed. Will provide lots of attention, whatever is requested- ball throwing, belly scratches, walks etc. I have an 80ft garden that is secure. Lots of space inside my house and all the dogs toys! Close to prospect park for walks.

About: I am a young professional who works from home most days. I grew up with a family dog and lost them a few years ago, and I really miss having a dog around. I’m pretty active and spend a lot of my free time out on walks and grabbing coffee on lunch breaks and weekends. Happy to help with walks, sitting, or check-ins. I love staying active and most weekends are spent walking in the countryside, or heading to parkrun, so I’m usually around and loving the outdoors makes it easy to bring dogs along. I also work from home two days a week, which means I’m free during lunch breaks for walks or check-ins. Evenings and weekends are generally flexible and easy for me to plan. I love giving lots of cuddles, attention, and playtime and I am confident looking after and interacting with lots of different dogs. I live in a safe, calm home with a fully fenced back garden, so there’s plenty of space for supervised outdoor time as well.
