House Sitting Slough

“Would 100% recommend Nicola. Felt very comfortable leaving Arlo with her, she asked all the right questions before to make sure she had everything she needed and then provided a beautiful report with photos afterwards as well. Left the house exactly as she found it and left a very contented boy who clearly enjoyed her company.”

About: Hi, I'm Holly! 😇 I am an experienced house/ pet sitter and dog walker, with 20 years of experience both professionally as well as caring for my own pets. I am naturally empathetic and caring by nature, and of course an animal lover.🐶 I recently returned from a year abroad travelling and living in Australia, where I did numerous house and pet sits, looking after both cats and dogs of varying sizes and breeds. Now that I am home, I am keen to continue, providing quality care back in my home town! I have been a volunteer dog walker for many years for charity 'The Cinnamon Trust', walking a dog for an elderly and terminally ill lady on a weekly basis. Beyond this, I have taken care of many pets of my own throughout the years including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, lizards, millipedes, and fish. My family also foster rabbits for the RSPCA - which I helped out with when I was living at home. 🐰 I am patient, soft natured, and calm, with rest assured that your furry friends are in responsible and attentive hands. I am experienced with: ✨Puppy & Kitten care ✨Senior pets ✨Nervous/ Anxious pets ✨Separation Anxiety ✨High energy dogs As an avid runner, I love the outdoors and being out in nature so I am more than happy to take your dog along with me. Whether they enjoy just a potter outdoors or longer walks, I'm happy to tailor walks to their requirements and energy levels. 🍃 I am happy to discuss more about my experiences or answer any questions you may have - so please do not hesitate to get in touch! Holly 🐾 I currently have full availability for pet care after recently returning to the UK from living abroad. I am keen to continue caring for pets here in my home town😇🐶✨ I can care for pets in your home, including overnight, day board, walks and in everything in between and in some instances, care at my own home.

“Boris had an amazing time with Rebecca. She obviously has a great love for dogs and went above and beyond with the care she provided for him. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Huge thank you to Katie. This was the first time i have tried to trust someone with my baby Thor. Katie is kind and has a lovely way about her and is clearly passionate and caring. Was on time, kept me updated throughout the day with pics and my dog was happy when I got home. He must have enjoyed himself , slept and enjoyed his time with Katie. It’s such a big thing firstly to trust someone with your fur baby but also to have someone in your house. I would highly recommend Katie and will definitely book again. Thank you!”

About: I have reared puppies and looked after pets all my life. Animals are my passion and bring me much joy. I have vast experience looking after other people’s pets having worked in my friend’s dog sitting franchise for many years. I've also done countless dog/cat sits with another site and have glowing testimonials which I am happy to share. Now that I'm semi retired and can work from home I can spend even more time caring for your pets. I'm extremely fit and love nothing more than going for long dog walks in parks and the countryside. I'm happy to dog sit in your house or can have small dogs at my place. I live in a maisonette with a huge park 3 seconds from my front door. I've had 2 dogs while living here and pride myself on making sure they were always kept stimulated and had at least 2 walks per day. I'm a very responsible, dependable and trustworthy person who you can rely on to look after your pets and home. I am semi retired and work for myself via my laptop. My hours are totally flexible allowing me plenty of time for pet care. I am happy to look after pets in your own home while your away or have them in my own home. I am very much a home body so your pets won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I live opposite a very large park and am also close to some beautiful countryside. Walking is one of my hobbies so your dogs will get plenty of exercise to keep them stimulated. I am in the process of doing a dog behavioural course to better understand how our furry babies operate. I’m used to looking after all sorts of dogs and cats - both large and small.

“Charley was the best! She stayed at my house with my two dogs, she looked after them with love and care. She was particularly amazing with Kitty, who had an ear infection, which we discovered the day we had to leave. Charley managed Kitty's treatment with ease, administering all the different pills and drops as needed. She truly nursed Kitty back to health and kept me informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Charley for her compassionate care, professionalism and being an all round lovely person. Thank you, Charley!”

“Jamie was absolutely brilliant! We left Toby and our house in his care for six nights and I think the dog was disappointed when we arrived home!! We were updated daily with pictures and details from their numerous walks and adventures, and Jamie even took the time to sort an ant problem that cropped up while we were away! He did a pre stay visit to meet Toby and get to know the house, and left it immaculately clean after his stay. There was no doubt Toby had a wonderful time in his care and we came home to a very relaxed dog! He was super charming and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Thank you Jamie!”

About: For the entirity of my life I have known I want to have a job that involves working with animals. I have truly experienced so much when it comes to them, and I feel very fortunate to have had many of these experiences. On a trip to Venice when I was younger I helped the police catch a dog that was on the loose, to eventually return it to the owner. When visiting family in the Cayman Islands I helped out with rescuing and rehoming dogs who had been badly treated by their owners. During my Duke of Edinburgh I volunteered at the Tarbay Kennels and Cattery for 6 months which I then continued doing weekly for much longer because I loved being around the dogs. My love didn't stop here though, after I finished my GCSE's I decided to do a course in Animal Management (level 3 extended diploma) at Berkshire College of Agriculture which I completed with a DMM (Distinction Merit Merit). During this time I also went to South Africa to Volunteer with conservation work in the Kruger National park. I was also doing occasional dogsitting for a lovely family near Warfield while I was at college, which also turned into overnight housesitting sometimes. After returning from university I have decided that I would love to go back to working with animals and have been walking an elderly lab twice a week, which I absolutely love doing and look forward to every week! Finally I have 3 years of experience working in an exotic fish shop, so if you have a fish tank I can also take care of it while you are on holiday! I'm currently doing a lot of part time work which is mainly over the weekends so I have plenty of free time during the week! On weekends I am doing both bar work and serving tea and coffees at a pop up stand both at Reading Hockey Club. I like to fill up my week with plenty of different dog walks that keep me out and about so I will make time for you! For Dog Walking: I am very comfortable with walking dogs of all sorts and will keep them on the lead at all times unless you specify that they are fine to go off the lead. As a person who cares deeply about the environment, I would like to be within cycling range of your house and will not transport dogs anywhere in a vehicle. Because of this its ideal if you have a park or a green area within walking distance of your house for your dog/s to have the optimum experience. I prefer to use your equipment for dog walks as the dogs are more familiar with it and so will be more comfortable (this includes lead, harness (if required) and treats, and preferably poo bags too). Personally I hate mixing dogs with other dogs from different families so I will only walk multiple dogs if you have multiple dogs! For Dog Sitting: I have done a fair bit of dogsitting in the past but you will need to let me know different things about the dog/s, e.g. how often they need the toilet during the night or what time you like them to eat. I am very comfortable with giving your dog/s plenty of attention and enriching them with different activities! Final Note: I am not comfortable with caring for extremely brachycephalic dogs, e.g. Bulldogs & Pugs, as I do not agree with the ethics in breeding them.

About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age and love them.I have got experience with all different Types of dogs and different breeds as well.I have also had time with younger dogs such as puppies.

“Isabella looked after Luna who is recovering from surgery, she can be awkward at the moment especially as her brother was staying away. Isabella took great care of her and helped manage her recovery with short walks and lots of rest.”

About: I’ve taken care of my cat for 13 years now and got two kittens who are now 1 years old. They’re indoor cats and having kittens felt like I had just given birth to toddlers but loved every second of it. I’ve taken care of my friends dogs when they’ve gone to uni or to work. I take them for walks, feed them and play with them. I currently work full time but do shift work, 4 on 4 off. My day is usually 6am - 4pm. During my days at work I have automatic cat feeders which I set up every evening to open at certain times and they have all their toys to play with. Then when I am home they have my undivided attention if they want it. I am happy to do drop in visits during those days or if they’re staying with me then they will have the company of my other fur babies. On my off days I am free to spend time with your pet, take them for walks, play or just chill. My home is indoor only. I do have a garden that can only be accessed from the front door so wouldn’t have to worry about them escaping. There is also a park not far my place so would be able to go for a walk and play there. I would care for your pet in your home how you advice me to. If you have set areas where they can’t go or which food they’re allowed then I’d follow accordingly.

About: Hi,
My name is Marian, 35 years old and I own my place.
Currently, I have a dog called Mikasa. Mikasa is a rescued dog I found on the streets during my Xmas holidays in Spain and I just couldn't walk away. We travelled together back to my home in London, what an adventure!: Seville - Lisbon - Paris - Calais - Folkestone - London! I would do it for her a million times :) 
We both live happily live in a penthouse in Slough, just next to a big park where we walk and play a lot! She is very friendly with people and dogs (shame I can´t upload videos here, but happy to share with you somewhere else with no compromise). Her best friend is called "Nugget", a super cute Sausage Dog we take care of sometimes. 
On the other side, I have always been a cat person and have lived with cats until she arrived to my life. 
Speaking from the experience, I know it is difficult leaving your pets with strangers, so I'm happy to meet you in person or have a call beforehand. Also, I'll strictly follow your instructions and treat your pet like my own. If there are any other things you would want me to do, like watering your plants and picking up the mail, I will be more than happy to do this. Besides, if you would like updates about how your pet is doing during your holiday, I would be glad to keep you posted.
I am comfortable pet sitting at yours, dog walking or even bringing your pet to mine. I work from home, so my flexibility is very high and pets are always attended.
This also means your pet will be with me AT ALL TIMES. Once you tell me your needs and I will adapt. I know how to give medications if your pet requires them. I will always carry out a meet a greet prior to the booking so that you are satisfied before you drop your pet off.

Walks:
Are between 30 to 60 min, and I offer as many as you need. Please send me a message for a personalised plan.
Visits:
When visiting, I like spending time playing and making company for a while so they won’t miss you that much.
Boarding:
Your pet will decide where to sleep, and I currently have one pet bed in my bedroom and one in the living room. I will only have a maximum of 1 pet at mine at once (besides Mikasa).

Thanks for bearing me in mind. I look forward to discussing your situation and particular requirements in more detail.
If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch. I work from home full-time unless I have ocasional appointments (sometimes I can change those), or other personal commitments. However I’m very flexible. I walk my dog 4 times per day cause she’s a high energy dog. I also go during my lunchtime to a dog owners club for my dog to socialise with others, and I will be happy to take yours if friendly enough (upon your request). My dog Mikasa is very friendly and helps a lot with the whole petsitting. I have a massive balcony where they normally play, but also found on space enough indoor to do so. They’ll be constantly supervised with me.

“We had Ophelia housesit our 2 dogs, one of them an anxious rescue dog which did not faze her. She seemed to manage very well & the dogs seemed very happy. She's punctual, friendly, good communicator, got plenty of updates whilst we were away, and another bonus is that she's very tidy. I highly recommend her & will definitely be using her again.”

About: I may not have done pet sitting and dog walking professionally before, but I’ve always been a true dog lover at heart. Dogs have been part of my life for years, and I understand how much they mean to their families. Back home I have a lovely and friendly 11y old Pitbull (Hércules) who has taught me so much about care, patience and unconditional love. I’m also a proud dad to my 5y old son, Henry, who is absolutely crazy about dogs and has grown up around them with kindness and respect. Your pet will be treated with the same love, attention and care as my own, whether it’s for a walk, a cuddle, or company while you’re away Pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work as a General Manager in hospitality, which means I’m organised, reliable and used to responsibility. My rota gives me structured time off during the week and some mornings/afternoons available, which I’m looking to dedicate to dog walking and pet sitting. I’m exploring pet care not just as a side hustle, but as something I genuinely enjoy and would love to potentially grow into long term. Working with animals feels natural to me, and I’m excited about the possibility of gradually building experience in this field. I see this as the start of something meaningful, while still bringing the professionalism, commitment and work ethic I’ve developed in management. In an owner’s home, I always follow instructions carefully…feeding routines, walk times, medication if needed, and any specific behaviours to be aware of. I make sure doors, gates and leads are secure at all times and provide regular updates for peace of mind. If caring for a pet in my home, the environment is calm, clean and safe. I only take on pets I can give proper attention to, ensuring they feel comfortable and supervised at all times. As a long-time dog owner myself, I understand how important routine, patience and affection are. Your pet will be treated with the same care and respect as my own.

About: Since childhood I always lived with pets such dogs, cats, fish, rabbits.. I love animals and I admire their unconditional love! For me a pet it’s like a family member and they all have their own character!I will always make sure to respect your dog needs and provide the attention and the love he/she will ask from me, as I value their happiness! As you put your trust in me by letting your dog in my company, my priority will be their happiness! I am French and I arrived in Windsor 10 years ago, I always worked in restaurants and recently I decided to quit to dedicate myself by taking care full time of pets and giving French individuals lessons. Since I came in England, I always missed my pets! But adopting a new pet with my work schedule would have been selfish as my free time was limited! Luckily I have friends here who have pets, so I am getting used to taking care of them and now I have all my time free for taking care of yours😊 I live in a one bedroom flat by myself in Eton, and I got a private access garden with a view to the river. If you are familiar with Eton, you are aware that there is few park nearby. Luckily, the area is dog friendly, I will not using a car to go for a walk with a dog. I am a sports person so it’s always a pleasure to go for a walk!

My focus is always on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners have complete peace of mind.
