Doggy Day Care Reading

“Thanks so much to Chenyan for doing such a lovely job looking after Pippin for 2 days this week. Pippin had a great time playing with Chenyan's puppy and went on adventures to the park and the beach. Pippin is only 3.5 months old and Chenyan was happy to meet up briefly for introductions first which was incredibly helpful and reassuring. Chenyan was really easy to communicate with and responsive throughout and sent lots of photos. I had no worries about leaving Pippin with Chenyan and I would definitely hope for Pippin to stay with her and Maemae again in the future :)”

“My cockapoo has been going to Sarah for a couple of weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier. I really appreciated Sarah making time for a meet and greet, her communication is excellent, and I love receiving the photos of my dog having a fun time, and being well cared for, and treated as part of the family. My dog clearly loves going, Sarah understood her needs very quickly, and my dog was already excited to arrive on just her second visit, a sure sign she’s treated so kindly and part of the family. She has also boarded, and I feel completely comfortable that she is looked after and gets what she needs, and I have complete peace of mind when my dog is with Sarah. Sarah is kind, accommodating, clearly understands dogs, and it’s really lovely that her children also get involved with the dogs too. Sarah’s dog is also absolutely lovely, and a great companion. My dog gets plenty of attention, walks and snuggles - which is perfect for her. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah for her excellent services. Thank you Sarah.”

“Juniper had a great time with Thalia! Communication was great both before and during the doggy day care, with Thalia sending lots of photos and updates throughout the day. She was also very accommodating when we were slightly late to collect Juniper. We would definitely use their services again!”

“Where do I even start? I sent quite a few messages to detail Lola’s needs and asked so many questions. Karen always responded very quickly, having read all the information action and sounded so calm and reassuring. Lola spent the first 2 days with Karen, Alex and Pablo and I couldn’t be happier for my baby girl. She is being made to be part of the family but is also cared for according to her needs. She returned home after a full day in Karen’s care being very happy, having zoomies 🫶🏼 Karen is extremely conscientious, caring and lovely person. She truly takes great pride in looking after my girl. Karen, I cannot thank you enough for restoring my faith in people, especially orally when it comes to looking after my baby girl. You have been godsend and we are so relieved knowing Lola is in the best home she can be when I am in the office. THANK YOU 🫶🏼”

About: Hi, I am Aakanksha (and Akshay! 😊), proud parents to a 5-year-old Golden Retriever, RIO, who is basically a big bundle of energy, curiosity and cheekiness! 🐶 Having a high-energy dog myself, I know that every dog comes with their own little personality, habits and funny quirks. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs over the years, from tiny pups to big breeds, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Having a large dog of my own means I’m confident handling bigger dogs too — whether it’s managing their excitement on walks, keeping them entertained, or just making sure they’re happy and comfortable. To me, dogs are babies, and I always treat them with love and care. I absolutely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m also happy to look after puppies and understand that they need a little extra patience, supervision and care while they’re learning and exploring the world. Rio has taught me that dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. So when your furry friend is with me, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience and care that I’d want someone to give Rio. Expect plenty of walks, cuddles, playtime and maybe a few funny dog stories along the way! 🐾 Since I work from home, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m around most of the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, company and care rather than being left alone for long periods. My partner also mostly works from home and is a big dog lover, so there’s usually someone around to give extra cuddles, playtime and attention. We both genuinely enjoy having dogs around and love the joy and energy they bring into the home. My own dog Rio has a routine of walks, playtime, meals and lots of interaction, so I’m already used to building my day around a dog’s needs. I enjoy taking breaks for walks, play sessions and giving dogs the attention they need throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine — whether that’s regular walks, feeding schedules, puppy breaks, or simply having someone around for company. My aim is to make your furry friend feel safe, comfortable and at home while they’re with me. 🐾 I’m happy to offer care both in my own home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what works best for the dog and their family. At my home, I live in a house with a garden, giving dogs a comfortable space to relax, play and enjoy some outdoor time. I’ll make sure they feel at home, with plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles. Since I’m a dog mum to Rio, my 5-year-old Golden Retriever, I’m already used to having a dog as part of my daily life and understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine. For boarding, I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual habits — including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any little things that help them feel settled. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and what makes them comfortable. If caring for your dog in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment while keeping their routine as normal as possible. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m looking after them in their own home, my priority is always the same — making sure they feel loved, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾

“Have to thank Laura for taking Radley on a short notice day care. Can't recommend highly enough, Radley has a great time with her and we know he's safe”

About: Since I was a young child I have had pets. The first one was a jack Russell. Now I'm 20 years old living with a healthy 3 year old golden retriever who I have had since a puppy! Right now I am a uni student which fits my schedule perfectly because I have a lot of free time to take care for animals In my house I allow them everywhere at anytime. If it's at the owners house I will do what they require me to do

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve also regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including a variety of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Since moving out of my family home, I really miss having a dog around! I work from home, which means I can give your dog plenty of company, attention and affection throughout the day. I’m confident and comfortable around dogs and would treat yours just as I would my own, with lots of care, walks, playtime and cuddles. I work from home most of the week, so I’m around throughout the day to give your dog plenty of company, attention, walks and playtime. I occasionally work from the office on a Tuesday, but otherwise I’m home and can be flexible around your dog’s usual routine and needs. I have a secure, fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outside. I’m happy to follow each owner’s individual instructions around feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements and house rules, so your dog can keep to the routine they’re used to and feel settled and comfortable while staying with me.

“Been having problems with my puppy after puppy care when he gets home, my puppy came home so much more relaxed. 5/5 service would highly recommend!”

About: My name is Kiki, I am 35 years old and I have been the long term owner of several dogs over the years. I think that they are the most wonderful and the cutest creature in the world! I enjoy they mutual need of attention and affection that I get when spending time with our 4-legged friends! I once owned a Golden Retriever for 6 years when I lived in China, His name is Daniel. I always take him out for a walk around the city when I finish work, and take him to play with other dogs at the weekend. I’ve had a wonderful time with him over the last 6 years, but now I’ve moved to the UK, so I sadly had to leave him with my mum back home. When living in China, my mum would always have stray dogs wander into her shop. She always fed them and let them inside to take a rest from the hot sun. Many of these dogs became long term companions to our family, so I’ve spent plenty of time with various breeds and sizes of dogs. I want to keep my mum’s tradition of always looking out for dogs, especially when you consider that the general attitude towards animal welfare is less than perfect in the part of the world that I come from! I used to adopted a young cat too. I love spending time with this cat and have even made him a few custom pieces like a scratching post and Christmas house, which he enjoys using and playing with. He's very happy living with me and is great company around both cats and humans. I have enough patience to train dogs and cats. Having trained dogs tricks easily, and I found it’s achievable to train cats too. In fact, I've already trained my cat to do a few, including shake hands, left paw, jump, spin, stand up, and even give high fives! If you'd like, I can even teach your pets some fun tricks! Of course, I'll only teach them tricks if they're comfortable and willing to learn. I work from home everyday, having a pet would keep me company and give me a good excuse to get out from the house. I will take the dogs to the park and play some games. My time spent with your dog will be spending time inside of house and going out for a nice walk. Walking and playing with dog is such an enjoyable experience because I get to exercise whilst being in good company! I have a flexible schedule because I work from home. That's why I have decided to take care of dogs as part of my daily routine. I will gladly look after dogs on a daily basis and take dogs for walks. I will keep you updated on how your fur babies are whilst your away, i can send photos & messages if you wish.

About: We’re Taylor and Frankie, both dog lovers and central Caversham based. I’ve grown up with family dogs and I feel comfortable looking after them and taking them on walks. We’re very patient with pets and can easily match their playful energy, knowing exactly the kind of attention they need. You’re in trusted paws. Me and my partner mostly work from home and have very flexible schedules, so we have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they need and give them decent walks, and lots of playtime. We live in a spacious ground floor 1 bedroom flat, with communal garden access via our back door. If your dog wishes to go outside we will put them on a lead. A large park is a 2 min walk away, which is perfect for daily walks, on and off lead depending on owners preference. Most of the neighbours in our building also have dogs so they are very welcome.

About: Dogs have always been a large part of my world and I do love them very much. My family are from the obedience show dog world, my mother is a dog trainer, behaviourist and breeder. She has competed for Wales at Crufts in obedience, and my Aunt once won Crufts obedience once outright (Bev Hughes, Woughstock Wisdom, or Jasper for short). We had a rotating cast of 7 border collies mixed with various pet dogs, well over 25 dogs over the years, five of them my own. Our pack has included poodles, sausage dogs, 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. We believe in the highest standards of care for all dogs, this means plenty of walks, plenty of play, and plenty of cuddles. I now offer professional dog walking and pet care services to the current generation of our four legged friends, this is my main work, so I’m not spending all day on Zoom calls ignoring your dog! and your dog will get lots of exercise on our regular walks unless they don’t want that. They will be looked after in our home, 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 note: • While I’m happy to consider most dogs, I do not board, day care or group walk aggressive dogs. However, I can offer 1 to 1 walks for some smaller breeds and help with desensitisation. • I’m happy to refer you for larger dogs—there’s always a way forward, don’t give up! • I only board small females that are neutered or not more than four months past their last season, as my own dog is an intact male. If you’re unsure about suitability or have any concerns, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss your dog’s needs. (You can message or call through the rover phone App by clicking my profile/tap teh 3 dots at the top/Call Catherine.) 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.
