“Joanne accepted my Very late request for her to look after Ray Bao. Ray Bao has such a wonderful time each time he goes to stay with her. They went on great walks and plays in the park. she kept me updated during his stay and I collected a very happy pooch, 100% recommend !”


“It was our second time booking doggy day care with Hannah and Andy and we’ve had another great experience. Excellent communication and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for taking such great care of our 🐶🐶!”


“Neda was amazing with our 8 year old rescue. She took the time to meet him beforehand, understand his needs and his personality. Neda is a very warm friendly person which meant we had no issues leaving tadhg with her all day. She sent photos throughout the day for our peace of mind, will definitely be booking Neda again :)”


“We are happy with a service provider by Laura, Milo seems happy and tired in a positive way, which mean we’re sure our dog had enough care and activities without any stress. We’re sure that whenever we need either day care or to leave our dog over the few days period we will get back to Laura.”


“We needed a quick daycare solution in the Caversham area and Caz and Callum were super quick to respond, flexible with hours and looked after our 1 year old cockapoo brilliantly. We got photos and updates through the day and Callum was even kind enough to drop our pup back home. So helpful!”


About: Whilst growing up we always had dogs in our family, spent a lot of time looking after them whether it was our dogs or relatives dogs. Mostly we had terriers, Jack Russells to be specific but also a Staff cross Collie. I currently work full time remotely so am available all day to keep your dog company and take them for walks, giving them the attention they need. My diary is very flexible during the workday so am available to work around your pets needs, also when it comes to evenings and weekends with no pets of my own or other dependents. I'm hoping to spend more time with other people's dogs to help resist getting one of my own! I live in a one bed flat with a balcony so your dog will be able to get some fresh air between walks and there is also a car park with grassy areas for taking them outside as well. I live in central Reading so am walking distance from multiple green spaces, including Forbury Gardens, the university and Palmer Park. I also drive so can venture out further for longer walks if they're needed or just change up the scenery!

“Eleanor is a great sitter! I usually struggle to trust someone with Odie but I had no doubts leaving Odie at Eleanor’s place! I would 100% recommend her and book her again - Odie loved her!”


About: My boyfriend, Jake and I are both big animal lovers and have grown up surrounded by pets. Experience with both cats and dogs, and particularly cats with diabetes. I’m currently working flexibly from home every day, so can fit dog walks and looking after both dogs and cats around my schedule very easily. We have a fenced garden, and I’d be present in the garden any time we let the dog out to the garden just to make sure all is ok.

“Veena and her family took such wonderful care of Augie. It was Augies first time experiance but he got lots of care and love, Augie came home happy, and better behaved! Would highly recommend. Augie is also looking forward to going back to visit Veena again!”


“Kejia really cares about Crecho and we felt comfortable knowing he was in good company for his doggy daycare whilst we went to London. Kejia is honest and happy to ask questions. She is really patient with Crecho who is an old boy with lots of issues now. We look forward to Crecho spending time with her at Christmas”



About: Hey! I am Emilia originally from Moldova and Italy. I have been living in Uk since 2013 and at the moment I live in Reading. I am a qualified Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga teacher I share classes online and in class. More over, I’m an IT specialist. I am in love with all living beings and learning every day to be a better human through yoga practice and meditation as well as reading a lot of uplifting books. I am conscious about a healthy mind body and spirit and practice daily early in the morning. I also really enjoy running and playing games with the pets to lift their mood and keep them healthy and active. I had been working on a few farms and I have experience with horses, chickens, cats, dogs, and birds. Obviously, this website is for dogs but in case of need, I can take care of whatever needs my care and attention. Drop me a msg 😁for more info and I would love to reply to any questions or requests. Thank you, Emilia I am working from home atm so I can be a present. Also I am veeryyy attentive to their needs and genuinely enjoy their company Yes I have a very safe and relaxed environment, my windows face the garden and have clean space where to play, sleep or chill :D

“Rocco was very excited to arrive at Jaydons place the first time and has come home a tired and happy pup. Great communication from Jaydon and super accommodating. Thank you so much! Rocco is excited for his next visit ?”


About: *****Please note I am currently only accepting boarding bookings up to 6 weeks in advance of todays date**** If you grew up in France, it’s quite likely you speak French. Well I was bought up in dog land, I speak fluent dog, and I do love them very much. My mother was a dog trainer before me, and also a breeder and is still a dog groomer (though she is in Wales so no clipping enquiries please!) As a family we’ve had over 25 dogs over many years, five of them my own. Our pack has included poodles, sausage dogs 2, a Labrador cross, a Yorky, probably about 15 Border Collies + cross breds, GSD’s, Staffies, various others and finally the only current resident, a little male Jackawowa. My family are from the obedience world, my Mother still competes regularly and my Aunt once won Crufts obedience once many moons ago, (Bev Hughes, 1989, Woughstock Wisdom, or Jasper for short). We believe in the highest standards of care for all dogs, this means plenty of walks, plenty of play, and plenty of cuddles. Your dog will be looked after in our home, they will be allowed on the sofa and treated as part of the family. So if you would like your dog to join our small pack for expert care on a temporary or permanent basis, get in touch. Please do note, while I will consider any dog, I do not take on aggressive dogs for boarding or walking, although I can help with desensitisation in some dogs of smaller breeds through my training business in private lessons. I can refer you if you have a problem with a larger dog, don't give up! I do not board unneutered females that are more than 4 months since there last season, since my dog is an intact male. For ongoing daycare I only take dogs who can walk off lead, unless they are on lead for reasons of age or injury. I can take on lead dogs short term as long as they are not tugging heavily on the end of the lead, (this can be solved on a short lead if you can get the dog to wear a Halti.) Minimum boarding booking is £60. If holiday rates do not exceed this you can however pay for two nights and collect after one if you’re stuck and only want one night. If you are unsure about suitability or have a particular concern relating to your dog do feel free to ask. Waggy tails, Cathy I like to give my own dogs two walks a day morning and afternoon/evening, and various games and breaks in between, I'll do the same for your dog, (unless your dog is elderly or it's too hot, or by other arrangement). Plus cuddles. For those dogs that like cuddles, lots of cuddles. Dogs are looked after in the same way as my own dog is, kept inside our house when not walking, and we have a secure enclosed garden. They are allowed on the furniture.

About: I’m that person who can’t walk past a cat or dog without stopping to say hello 🐶🐱. I’ve had pets since I was 10, and I love figuring out each animal’s “language” and quirks. Your fur baby will get lots of love, play, and snuggles—and maybe even a new best friend (don’t be shocked if they like me more than you 😅). I miss my own pets back home, so caring for yours is the best part of my day! I work in the tech industry and primarily from home, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine with ease. I’m highly organized and skilled at multitasking, and I’ve regularly cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and acquaintances for extended periods. This allows me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day while ensuring your pet’s needs are always a priority. I’m flexible and happy to provide care in the way that works best for you and your pet. Whether that’s boarding in my home, visiting your pet for feedings and playtime, or staying in your home for sitting, I adjust my approach to meet your needs. My priority is making sure your cat or dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in whichever environment they’re most at ease.

About: Hi pet parents! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a household with dogs and have lots of experience caring for them—whether that’s playing, walking, or simply keeping them company. I’ve also looked after my friend’s cat, Couscous, for over a year, and absolutely loved spending time with her. Right now, I don’t have enough time to have a pet of my own, so being able to care for your furry family members part time is something I truly look forward to. I’m reliable, gentle, and caring, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or feeding, I’ll make sure your cat or dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! 🐾 I am full time home after just got redundant from last job. I love to have long walks and will have plenty time to take care of your pet. I have a fenced garden. The garden is nice annd clean and I have no problem with pets on furniture. I can keep company with your pets at your place as well.
