“It was Berni’s first time staying with Helena so needless to say I was worried he wouldn’t settle. It was quite the opposite, he had an amazing time. Helena is absolutely fantastic. She kept me fully up to date with how he was getting on with fab photos of his walkies & when he was relaxing at her home. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s a lovely person & was wonderful with Berni which is all I could ask for.”
“Stuart was amazing, our dog Busby was really happy with him, we felt completely comfortable leaving Busby with Stuart and he sent pictures of him whilst we were away which was a really nice touch. Would 100% book again 😊”
“Wei was absolutely fabulous, she looked after my cat Dinky for a week. Wei kept me updated with lots of photos and gave Dinky lots of attention so he was a very happy cat! Would recommend Wei 100%!”
“Incredibly impressed with Louise! Boomer got the best of care and returned home on great form. Boomer is a bit fragile and Louise was confident and reassured me along the way. I felt at ease knowing he was in safe hands.”
“Jess is absolutely amazing. We felt so secure leaving our girl Poncho in her care. So communicative, took great care of our home, and poncho clearly missed her when she finished the sit. Jess did so much for Poncho who clearly loved her. And we were so happy with her care we've asked her to walk poncho once a week as poncho has an absolute blast with Jess. We really really want to keep Jess to ourselves so the temptation to give less than 5 stars was there, but frankly, 5 isn't enough for how good Jess is. 10/10, Jess will be out first port of call always now. Thank you Jess!”
“A real home from home for my Diego. A great safe environment and personal care which gives total peace of mind whilst away. I think he had a better time than me on holiday. He is already looking forward to the next visit!”
“Laura was an absolute godsend, I had seen someone previous and it just didn’t work so I was panicking, Laura took a meet and greet last minute for me and was so calm with Evie and looked after her the next day, I had such peace of mind. Such a lovely family and my pooch was spoiled and had the best time with the other doggos there. Thanks Laura xxx”
“Pedro did a great job looking after Hugo for the day. From the moment we arrived at his house him and his family made Hugo feel welcome and he didn’t even notice me leave he was having so much fun! Throughout the whole booking experience Pedro was very helpful and communicative. Would definitely use again.”
“Toby our schnauzer,had amazing time with Jo and Martin.They are kind,friendly couple who took a great care of our boy.They kept us up to date with messages,photos and video of him and we knew he was safe and in good hands. Toby went on long walks and on the train adventure to the town. We would highly recommend Jo and Martin and we will definitely book again.Thank you so much🐶”
“Our dog Oliver had a great time with Marcus and Kathleen. They gave us updates and photos throughout our trip, which we really appreciated. We will definitely book again!”
“Alline and her family looked after Freddie for us whilst we were at a wedding in the area. He had such a wonderful time, and we received regular pictures and videos of him on beautiful walks and having lots of fun at home, which was so reassuring! Freddie came home with a little toy and some really touching letters from her children - what a wonderful family 🥰 We wouldn’t hesitate to use Alline again and would 100% recommend her for dog sitting. Thank you so much!”
About: I have had my own dog for 11 years, he’s now an elderly gentleman! As a household we love animals and look forward to looking after your pets, I will be looking after them as their primary carer. . I have also had cats for 15 years, currently just one beauty. I’m here to look after your furry guests and help them settle in. I always do two good walks a day with our own dog or a trip to the park. On top of this we do two toilet breaks if needed. As the garden is not currently secure, I don’t use this for dogs. Dogs sleep in the kitchen which has rubber flooring at the moment, no caging unless requested. Our dog is older so can be a bit lazy and needs his rest, we have plenty of room for dogs to have their own space if needed, but he generally likes company. I am a cat lover and happy to provide drop in cat care, feeding, litter and cuddles.
“We could not have asked for more from Eliot and Elinore! From the start all communications were quick and detailed. We immediately felt that they understood our dog (and her quirks!) and nothing was too much trouble. We got daily updates and photos and we could tell from the pictures just how happy our dog was. We had never left her with anyone before so this was important to us. We would totally recommend Eliot to others with no hesitation and will definitely use them again. Thank you !”
“My dog had stayed with Arlina for the day before but this was the first time he boarded with her. I'm once again extremely happy with the care he received and have complete confidence that he was well looked after and got lots of lovely walks and playtime. Arlina gave regular updates and kept in communication throughout the stay.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and have cared for my own animals as well as those of family and friends for many years. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your dog while you’re away. I share my home with Rafferty, my friendly 2-year-old Cockapoo, who loves having canine company. I work remotely from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We maintain a consistent routine with Rafferty, including regular exercise, mental stimulation, and varied walks to keep things interesting and enriching. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be welcomed as part of the family and cared for as if they were our own. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide a comfortable, consistent, and loving home-from-home experience during their stay. I work full time from home so am available throughout the day to care for your dog’s needs and keep them company. We have a good routine with our own dog, Rafferty, with morning/evening walks and plenty of play breaks through the day. I have a fenced garden and your dog will be welcome throughout our home so they can find the spaces they feel most comfortable le in. Your pet's safety and happiness is of the utmost importance.
“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
About: I had a Border Terrier for 17 years who grew up with our family and was loved by everyone. She lived a long & happy life and we had to nurse her in her final years when she succumbed to dementia. I have a lots of empty space in my life for a dog as I am now retired. I love walking through the countryside with a dog too. I have a large secure garden for a dog to explore . I live in a village and a few minutes walk from the fields which is perfect for dogs. We also have a local recreation ground which also welcomes dogs.
“Jess was incredible with our 2 mini dachshunds, she was incredibly active with both of them. They came home very happy boys! Looks of updates and chats sent through during the stay, we felt totally relaxed this being our first time leaving them with anyone they didn’t know. We will defo be using her again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommend to anyone!”

“Khaley has been absolutely amazing with our grumpy cat Dexy- he loves her and we are worried that he will miss her more than us! Khaley’s communication was fantastic and her updates were thorough with plenty of photos of Dexy. Khaley has gone above and beyond when we have asked and would absolutely recommend her to anyone with an animal. Hopefully Dexy will be able to see his friend again soon!”

If you require muddy paws wiped before entry, a groom before bed, biscuits laid out before I leave them please let me know.
“Jessica was so lovely with our puppy - very gentle and good at playing with him. Meant I was able to work safe in the knowledge he was really happy. Also fab speedy communication. Would totally recommend her!”
“Beth was absolutely amazing looking after my cat for a week. We had a meet and greet so my cat could meet Beth before I went away and we could discuss what was needed, which was great. My cat was immediately super comfortable with Beth, which massively eased me whilst away. Beth was very communicative and sent updates, photos, and videos every day so I could see how my cat was getting on. Would definitely recommend Beth to anyone needing a cat sitter, and will definitely be re-booking if Beth is available next time I have the need. Thank you so much!”

“We felt completely at ease leaving our Bengals in the care of Maria while on holiday. We had initial visits with Maria before our holiday to ensure Benji & Talulah were comfortable and they connected straight away. Talulah became nervous before we left, but after a day Maria sent us updates to show Talulah venturing out to socialise! All updates received were as expected and nothing unusual regarding our cats behaviour. We have already booked Maria again for our next holiday and will be recommending to our friends and family!!”

About: I've had pets all my life. Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and cats as a child. As an adult I've owned a house rabbit, 2 cats and currently have a dog and a cat.

I'm a qualified nurse, who is comfortable with looking after unwell pets. I am currently on maternity leave. I am at home full time until November 2026. So I am available frequently.

I live near a huge woods and lots of lovely dog walks.

Our precious pooches were as happy and lively as they always are and so I'm 100% positive they had a good time with Yasmin the whole day. No hesitation in recommending this lovely young lady to take good care of your precious pooch and we would definitely use her again should we visit Newbury again in the future. Thank you xx”

Charlie and his partner were fantastic, and Daisy clearly loved going to be looked after by them. Charlie was brilliant with communication with us as well, and always completed the rover card with lovely photos of Daisy enjoying her stay. We will certainly love to book with Charlie again :)”
About: Hi, I’m Aimee — your local dog‑walking and day‑care provider, offering calm, structured, and genuinely caring support for every kind of pup. I’ve worked with everything from energetic working breeds to gentle seniors and nervous rescues, and I love helping each dog feel safe, understood, and happy in my care. I’m joined by my “Chief Assistant,” Hop — my Belgian Malinois who loves helping dogs build confidence, practise good manners, and enjoy positive social time. He’s a friendly, steady presence… but he never has to be involved if your dog prefers one‑to‑one care. Solo walks and individual day‑care are always available for dogs who need their own space or a quieter environment. Whether it’s a structured walk, a fun day of enrichment, or keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re busy, your pup gets plenty of attention, gentle handling, and a relaxed home‑from‑home vibe. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have full flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to plan my days around the dogs I look after, giving each one plenty of time, attention, and consistency. This means I can offer reliable walks, relaxed day‑care, and one‑to‑one support whenever it’s needed, without rushing or squeezing pets into a busy timetable. For day care in my home, dogs enjoy a calm, structured environment with plenty of enrichment, play, and rest. I follow each dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe and settled. My dog Hop is my friendly “Chief Assistant,” but he never has to be involved — solo care is always available for dogs who prefer their own space. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I keep everything familiar and consistent. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your dog’s routine, and make sure they get the right mix of exercise, comfort, and attention. Across all services, my focus is gentle handling, positive experiences, and making sure every dog feels relaxed and well cared for.
“Nicola (and Darren) were absolutely wonderful and so welcoming to our sausage dog! They have a beautiful home and garden, and it’s clear they have a wealth of experience looking after dogs. Nicola kept us updated throughout our dog's stay with frequent photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was thoroughly spoiled—she was taken for a lovely walk in the nearby woods, slept in a very comfy bed, and was given a squeaky toy and endless cuddles. In fact, she was so happy she didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick her up! Thank you both so much. I highly recommend them to anyone!”

“Aimée was absolutely fantastic with my dog, from our first interaction which was friendly, welcoming and her genuine love for dogs shone immediately. We built a rapport prior to the day care booking and Aimée diligently made sure that any requirements were tailored or addressed prior. On the day, Aimée welcomed my dog with open arms and enthusiasm, she took care of her all day and sent regular updates and photos, when I collected my dog, my dog was reluctant to leave! I will absolutely be booking with Aimée again and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you”

About: I have such a genuine love for animals, they bring us so much happiness and it would be my pleasure to take care of any pet. We trained guide dogs as a family when I was young and I regularly look after friends and neighbours pets. I don’t have my own dog yet as I want to be fully settled before making the commitment that is needed, however this is a great way for me to spend time with dogs before then and help people out whilst doing that. I am happy with any breed or type of dog, am psychically fit myself and love long walks. I am waiting to begin a new job so I am free a lot of the time, lots of time for long walks and looking after pets. I treat pets like family, I love dogs so much and can read their body language well. They entertain me as much as I’ll entertain them!

“Robyn was just perfect and everything we could ask for for the first time having someone outside the family look after our dog. Robyn sent through a video and some pictures as well as sending a few messages to let us know how he was and when she was heading off. Robyn’s love for dogs and the experience she has shines through and made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much Robyn!”

Hi, I’m Khaley! I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much happiness. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience looking after a range of different personalities—from playful, energetic pets to those who are a little more shy and need patience and reassurance. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm, comforting presence, I always adapt my care to suit them. 🐱 What you can expect from me: * Plenty of attention tailored to your pet * Playtime based on their personality * Feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, and general care * Regular updates with photos and messages so you have peace of mind * A calm, patient approach—especially for nervous or shy pets I’ve cared for many cats included in my pictures each with their own unique personalities—whether that’s following you around like a shadow, enjoying sunbathing in the garden, or just wanting a cosy cuddle. I love getting to know each pet and building that trust with them. 💬 Communication is really important to me, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I aim to respond quickly and keep everything as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. ✨ Why choose me? Because I genuinely care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to message me with any questions! I am pretty flexible in finding a time that works for you and your furr babies. I work shift work which means I am flexible in times I can visit your animals :) I would be caring for your pets at your home. I also offer a meet and greet so you can meet me before you go away.
“This was Charlie’s first time with my boys. She took the time initially to come and meet my boys and they loved her. She’s so caring and kind I felt happy leaving my boys with her. She communicated well and walked my boys on time and fed them as per their routine. My boys are big dogs and she handles them really well the pictures she sent me says it all. I would definitely use Charlie again to look after my boys!”

About: I can’t think of a time in my life when I haven’t had a pet(s). From mice to horses, and nearly everything in between. I’m a qualified dog groomer. I also have a cat and dog first aid certificate. I have just recently been made redundant and thought it would be the perfect time to try something new. I love animals and now find myself with plenty of time to look after and take care of other peoples animals too. I am happy to adjust each visit to the needs of your pet, whether that be to sit and snuggle , play in the garden or a park, or a short or long walk. My own 13 year old Sprocker Spaniel, is very friendly and will make a lovely temporary companion if walked together. I am able to walk them separately if needed.
About: Hi, I’m Lily! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I had two older dogs who have since sadly passed, as well as hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and fish so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two Yorkshire Terriers of my own, Enzo and Pippa, who are very loved and spoiled members of the family. Through friends, family, neighbours, and regular owners, I’ve looked after 7 dogs overall and still continue to care for 5 of them regularly. My experience includes dog walking, drop-ins, and dog sitting, with my longest stay being a full week caring for a neighbour’s dog. I’ve cared for multiple breeds and personalities, including dogs that require extra attention or accessibility support, so I understand that every dog has different needs and routines. While I don’t have formal qualifications, I do have lots of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. Alongside pet care, I work full-time as a Food & Beverage Supervisor, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs! I’m mainly available for walks on my days off, mornings or evenings especially Wednesdays but also depending on my work schedule which I receive a month prior, but I’m also happy to offer drop-ins and overnight stays where possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just like my own. Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday life as I have two Yorkshire Terriers of my own, Enzo and Pippa, who I care for daily. Alongside this, I regularly help care for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbours through walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I work full-time as a Food & Beverage Supervisor, so pet care fits around my work schedule and my days off, especially Wednesdays, when I’m most available for walks and extra time with pets. I’m also happy to offer drop-ins and overnight stays where possible. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. When caring for pets in either my home or a pet owner’s home, I always try to stick as closely as possible to their usual routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and settled. I understand every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn about their needs, personality, feeding schedule, walking routine, and anything else important to their care. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. Whether that’s going on walks, playing with toys, relaxing on the sofa for cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always want them to feel loved and cared for. I also have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and additional care needs, so I’m patient and understanding with shy, energetic, nervous, or older pets. I’m happy to provide updates and photos too, as I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I have had dogs throughout my whole life and have walked many of my friends of families dogs consistently throughout the past 3 years. I have had experience walking a small group of dogs daily for a more than a few months, have walked dogs solo including bigger breeds. I have taken dogs solo and in a group to dog parks for extra exercise. I have also owned cats for 7 years and am experienced with their behaviour and know how to acknowledge their needs and give them the appropriate attention. I’m currently working part time on a 6 hour contract in retail, I’m looking to make a little extra money to be able to get by after finishing college this year and this is a perfect opportunity for me. I own a cat and dog sit my sister’s dog regularly while she is at work. My cat gets all the attention in the world, he is an active cat and likes to be left alone sometimes, owning a cat like this made me aware of the signs that a cat needs space. I have walked my sister’s dog many times over 2 years, she can be unhappy around other dogs sometimes so I know how to deal with a dog that is stressed. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for any animal I encounter.

“It was Berni’s first time staying with Helena so needless to say I was worried he wouldn’t settle. It was quite the opposite, he had an amazing time. Helena is absolutely fantastic. She kept me fully up to date with how he was getting on with fab photos of his walkies & when he was relaxing at her home. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s a lovely person & was wonderful with Berni which is all I could ask for.”
“Jess is absolutely amazing. We felt so secure leaving our girl Poncho in her care. So communicative, took great care of our home, and poncho clearly missed her when she finished the sit. Jess did so much for Poncho who clearly loved her. And we were so happy with her care we've asked her to walk poncho once a week as poncho has an absolute blast with Jess. We really really want to keep Jess to ourselves so the temptation to give less than 5 stars was there, but frankly, 5 isn't enough for how good Jess is. 10/10, Jess will be out first port of call always now. Thank you Jess!”
“A real home from home for my Diego. A great safe environment and personal care which gives total peace of mind whilst away. I think he had a better time than me on holiday. He is already looking forward to the next visit!”
“Laura was an absolute godsend, I had seen someone previous and it just didn’t work so I was panicking, Laura took a meet and greet last minute for me and was so calm with Evie and looked after her the next day, I had such peace of mind. Such a lovely family and my pooch was spoiled and had the best time with the other doggos there. Thanks Laura xxx”
“Pedro did a great job looking after Hugo for the day. From the moment we arrived at his house him and his family made Hugo feel welcome and he didn’t even notice me leave he was having so much fun! Throughout the whole booking experience Pedro was very helpful and communicative. Would definitely use again.”
“Toby our schnauzer,had amazing time with Jo and Martin.They are kind,friendly couple who took a great care of our boy.They kept us up to date with messages,photos and video of him and we knew he was safe and in good hands. Toby went on long walks and on the train adventure to the town. We would highly recommend Jo and Martin and we will definitely book again.Thank you so much🐶”
“Our dog Oliver had a great time with Marcus and Kathleen. They gave us updates and photos throughout our trip, which we really appreciated. We will definitely book again!”
“Alline and her family looked after Freddie for us whilst we were at a wedding in the area. He had such a wonderful time, and we received regular pictures and videos of him on beautiful walks and having lots of fun at home, which was so reassuring! Freddie came home with a little toy and some really touching letters from her children - what a wonderful family 🥰 We wouldn’t hesitate to use Alline again and would 100% recommend her for dog sitting. Thank you so much!”
“We could not have asked for more from Eliot and Elinore! From the start all communications were quick and detailed. We immediately felt that they understood our dog (and her quirks!) and nothing was too much trouble. We got daily updates and photos and we could tell from the pictures just how happy our dog was. We had never left her with anyone before so this was important to us. We would totally recommend Eliot to others with no hesitation and will definitely use them again. Thank you !”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and have cared for my own animals as well as those of family and friends for many years. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your dog while you’re away. I share my home with Rafferty, my friendly 2-year-old Cockapoo, who loves having canine company. I work remotely from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We maintain a consistent routine with Rafferty, including regular exercise, mental stimulation, and varied walks to keep things interesting and enriching. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be welcomed as part of the family and cared for as if they were our own. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide a comfortable, consistent, and loving home-from-home experience during their stay. I work full time from home so am available throughout the day to care for your dog’s needs and keep them company. We have a good routine with our own dog, Rafferty, with morning/evening walks and plenty of play breaks through the day. I have a fenced garden and your dog will be welcome throughout our home so they can find the spaces they feel most comfortable le in. Your pet's safety and happiness is of the utmost importance.
“Yasmin is a fantastic choice to look after your doggos! My two dogs stayed with her for a week, but we first had a quick meet-up a few weeks beforehand so they (and I) could get to know her. When I dropped them off for their stay, it was clear she’d already made a great impression — they were so excited to see her again! There were no issues at all during their stay. Yasmin kept in touch throughout the week with a lovely stream of photos and updates from their various adventures — both around her flat and on their walks around the racecourse — which was so reassuring. When I picked them up, both Nova (a medium-sized Labradoodle) and Roxy (a small Cockapoo) were happy, healthy, freshly bathed, well-fed, and delightfully exhausted after a week of walks, pampering, and cuddles. Thank you, Yasmin — from me, Nova, and Roxy! 🐾”
“Jess was incredible with our 2 mini dachshunds, she was incredibly active with both of them. They came home very happy boys! Looks of updates and chats sent through during the stay, we felt totally relaxed this being our first time leaving them with anyone they didn’t know. We will defo be using her again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommend to anyone!”
“Obi stayed with Nicola overnight on quite short notice, and Nicola couldn’t have been more flexible or accommodating to our requests and timings. She and her family treated Obi like one of their own and were incredibly considerate of his needs, making sure he was safe in the sun and comfortable in their home. We received plenty of updates and photos of how he was getting on and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Obi in Nicola’s care again!”

“Jacob took very good care of my dog Duchess. He was communicative, flexible and sent lots of pictures and updates. He and Duchess seemed like they had a really good time together, and he allowed her to sleep on his bed too, which is always a plus! I will definitely ask him to look after my dog again.”
About: I have such a genuine love for animals, they bring us so much happiness and it would be my pleasure to take care of any pet. We trained guide dogs as a family when I was young and I regularly look after friends and neighbours pets. I don’t have my own dog yet as I want to be fully settled before making the commitment that is needed, however this is a great way for me to spend time with dogs before then and help people out whilst doing that. I am happy with any breed or type of dog, am psychically fit myself and love long walks. I am waiting to begin a new job so I am free a lot of the time, lots of time for long walks and looking after pets. I treat pets like family, I love dogs so much and can read their body language well. They entertain me as much as I’ll entertain them!
“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and it really shows in the way she handles everything with ease and confidence. My pup felt completely comfortable and well cared for, which gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always kind and thoughtful in her communication. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly great with dogs, Grace is the one!”
