House Sitting in Reading

“Aijia was great with our Kira. I really appreciated that she arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped us feel more comfortable on the day. She kept me updated while I was at work and overall we had a really lovely experience and I would book with her again.”

“Alice looked after our two dogs for the weekend, she was wonderful, so nice to know that our dogs were safe and we could relax for the weekend!”

“Rosemary was brilliant with Monty, we had plenty of updates throughout the evening, and he clearly had a lovely time - would 100% recommend / be booking again”

“Chenyan was a fabulous sitter! Prior to the sitting, Chenyan came over for a meet & greet with our sighthound (saluki-lurcher), asked lots of questions about Sybils needs, and they got on very well! You can tell Chenyan loves dogs, and having her own whippet meant she really understood the sighthound needs/requirements which was great! We've already booked Chenyan in again for a few weeks time, and we know Sybil will be in good hands!”

“Another successful house sit for Tam. He was so pleased to see Sabina when she arrived he wasn’t worried at all when we went out. She even managed to get him to go for a walk which is unheard of when we go out. Tam was very calm and relaxed when we came home so I know he was happy with Sabina.”

“Deeya was on time and fully prepared to look after our dogs after our earlier meet and greet. The dogs were very happy in her company and she easily made friends with them (and us!). The dogs are fairly easy to look after, but Deeya discovered one of them had picked up something in the garden, possibly a chicken bone, and removed it without fuss - not easy with our two. Well done Deeya, see you again.”

“Saskia looked after our 2 Ragdolls for 3 days and 4 nights and did such a fantastic job! I was impressed from the offset when she arranged to meet them first, asked all the right questions and was clearly a cat lover. She looked after my flat as if it were her own and we not only came back to 2 very happy cats, but the flat was spotless too. She sent daily updates and was always contactable. Couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter, felt very comfortable to leave Ralph & Ru in her hands. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have hands-on experience with both big and small dogs, having cared for an Akita and a Frenchie, on multiple occasions in the past. The longest I’ve cared for pets was for 15 days overnight in-house care, during which I handled everything from giving medications to vet visits. Of course, daily walks and plenty of love were always part of the routine. I’m also respectful and considerate when it comes to taking care of your home, ensuring both your pets and your space are in great hands. I work from home most days and only go into the office once or twice a week, so I have a flexible schedule for pet care. My family previously had a loving Doberman, and a fiery Calico cat, so I understand the responsibility and routine pets need throughout the day. I’m also very active and enjoy regular walks, so taking dogs out fits naturally into my routine. Most of my weekends are free, and I genuinely enjoy being around animals and it is easy for me to prioritise their wellbeing. I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats, and have looked after pets in their own homes. I always make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for, while also keeping owners’ homes clean and tidy. I am confident handling dogs with different needs and temperaments, including larger dogs and those that require muzzles during walks. I pride myself on being reliable, adaptable, and committed to making both pets and owners feel at ease.

“Laura was great. She left our house in a spotless condition and kept us up to date with the dogs. Laura also looked after my mums dog at the same time as we were all away together and she handled having all 3 of them perfectly. Completely recommend Laura to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Will book again”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, and over the past 10 years I’ve gained experience with all kinds of pets — from guinea pigs and hamsters to cats and dogs. My family currently has five dogs, so daily pet care is a big part of my life. I’ve also supported two litters of puppies, each with five little ones, which taught me a lot about patience, gentleness, and routine. I have a soft spot for French Bulldogs and understand their unique needs. I truly love being around animals and treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I work full‑time within the NHS on a three‑day schedule, which gives me four days each week dedicated to dog walking. This flexibility allows me to offer reliable availability and plenty of time for longer walks, regular exercise, and consistent routines. Whether your dog needs a calm stroll, a bit of extra energy release, or steady weekly walks, I make sure every outing is safe, enjoyable, and suited to their personality. I live in a comfortable flat just a short walk from a lovely local park, which makes it easy to give dogs plenty of outdoor time and regular walks. Inside my home, I keep a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I make sure they have a cosy space to settle, fresh water available at all times, and lots of attention throughout the day. Because the park is so close, I’m able to take dogs out frequently for exercise, toilet breaks, and playtime, which helps them stay happy and relaxed during their stay. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor the routine to each dog’s needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for in my home.

“Thank you so much again, Teddy was really calm and settled when he got home. I really appreciated the photo/message updates and the care that was taken with him.”

About: At the moment I'm am the owner of 4 lovely cats. 1 black and white cat with white kitty toes! 1 tabby cat, 1 white black and grey and one grey and black. I love cats 🐈 and want them all home with me and hubby.

“Deborah was really attentive and understanding with our dog Maya. She had great knowledge of nervous dogs and made us feel at ease that she knew exactly how to care for Maya. I’d love to have her watch Maya again anytime!”

“Bronwyn has an obvious love of animals and is very calm and confident with our challenging dog. We booked with Bronwyn earlier than originally planned when she stepped in at the last minute as another sitter was sick. Our sometimes very anxious dog was sleeping for the hour or so after she left and when we got home. Perfect! We will definitely be booking more sitting and walks 😀”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and a very reliable, caring sitter who will treat your pet like my own. I’ve grown up around animals and regularly look after pets for friends, family and neighbours, including feeding, walking, playing and giving them plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m especially patient with more nervous pets and always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to follow specific routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, administering basic medication, or keeping up with training. My partner and I have a cat, and frequent look after family members animals. So I’m very used to different personalities and behaviours, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I currently work from home and able to spend a lot of time with animals and can give them loads of care and attention. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine where possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I plan my schedule to make sure I can give each pet the time, attention and consistency they need, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime or just keeping them company. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. I take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’m very respectful of your home and always keep things clean, calm and safe. I’ll keep doors secure, avoid any risks on walks, and follow your instructions carefully. On my side, I have a fenced garden, plenty of rooms and comfortable spaces. Quiet neighbour's and a peaceful household, ideal for any pet in my care.

“Ed was a very proactive, kind, and thoughtful sitter for our two dogs and cat. He handled our dogs' quirks (leash reactivity) well and left our home spotless. The pets must have loved him because they were barely excited to see us! One of our pups Marcela isn't normally a cuddler but it was obvious from the photos that she loved and felt safe around Ed. I received daily updates on my trip with photos. Overall, he's agreat sitter and I highly recommend booking him.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. While I don’t currently have dogs of my own, I’ve spent many years walking and helping care for dogs through my mum, who is a dog sitter. I’m calm, confident, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, especially out on walks. Cats are my strongest experience. I’ve had cats all my life, from family pets to my own, and I currently have four. I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter care, medications, and understanding different cat personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with care and respect, following their usual routines so they feel safe and settled. I work from home, or anywhere with a decent wi-fi connection and can be happily distracted by dogs and cats! I would work around the needs of the specific pet and accommodate their needs as required. I would listen to, and follow all guidance / rules for the safety of your dog and/or cat in your house, garden and on walks as applicable.

“Rachael did a week of overnight cat sitter whilst we were away on holiday. We usually have family watch our cats but no one was free so we were obviously nervous to try someone new. However Rachael exceeded our expectations. The cats seemed really happy when we got home which is also a good sign that they’ve been well taken care of, and the house even looked more sparkling clean than we left it. She made sure to give us lots of updates and daily photos. Would recommend Rachael for sure!”
