“Lilly is amazing, she managed to squeeze us in last minute with Athena. Cannot recommend Lilly highly enough. Athena was very well looked after and and had the time of her life. Would definitely book again 👍 Best Sean”


“I left 2 of my dogs with Neda for a day care, they had a great time and came back home super happy and exercised. She also sent pictures of them through the day so my mind was at peace knowing that my pups are having a fun and doing well. I’ll be definitely coming back for Neda’s help”

About: With years of experience, l've spent plenty of time around dogs and genuinely love being with them. I'm attentive, patient, and treat every pet with the same care and affection l'd want for my own. I focus on creating a secure, happy environment and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. l'm dependable, communicative, and committed to giving your pet the best experience possible. I work from home 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have a flexible schedule so can board your pets on weekdays and weekends depending on my availability. I have a fenced secure front entrance away from any main roads and a secure balcony. My pup can keep them company. I regularly take my pup out on walks for toilet breaks throughout the day and I can cater to any additional needs.

“Sarah is great, she looked after Bagel for the day and provided lots of updates and cute pictures. Sarah and I met for a meet and greet before which was really appreciated. Will definitely book with Sarah again in the future 😊”


About: 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. However I can take on lead dogs short term. 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.

“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.”


About: I treat every dog like my own - providing calm, loving, reliable care tailored to their need. Trusted, experienced, and fully focused and your dog’s happiness. Caring for dogs naturally fits my calm, structured routine - plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and company. It’s part of my day, not an extra. Dogs stay happy with space to roam, play, and relax. Our open-plan home, secure garden, and peaceful woodland walks offer fun, freedom, and comfort daily.

“We urgently needed a dog sitter to fill in for a cancelled booking. Luckily, we found Saranjeet, who took great care of Willow. Saranjeet is very methodical, and his dog Olli has a wonderful temperament. Totally recommend.”


“Tremendous day care offered by Liliana for our Red Fox Labrador Maisy. Maisy had a brilliant day and it was great to have photo updates throughout the day. Would certainly recommend Liliana to others!”


“Philly was great - super communicative and sent us lots of pictures. Ollie had a great time with her. We will use her again!”



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
About: I love every moment spent with animals! Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle seniors, I ensure each dog feels safe, loved and has a tail-waggingly good time! I’m currently freelancing. So I have enough time to care for, take walks with and throw the ball around for my four-legged friends during the day! Since I only take on one pal at a time, your fur-baby will be cared for exclusively! I live in a flat that’s really close to a large park. The flat is on a high floor with a protected balcony and enough room. Most of our guests tend to go for our window view.

“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!”


“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: 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!

“Wonderful sitter! My pup had a great day and Joanne was super communicative and took great care of my sweet girl. Cleo will definitely have more visits in the future!”
