“Elizabeth was wonderful with Bear. She was so easy to communicate with and kept me updated, which meant a lot. Knowing he was being cared for so well made the whole experience stress-free. I’d definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Great cat sitter who lovingly looks after my 2 girls. The web site is not so great, found it impossible to reply to Gabrielle’s question. Unable to leave a 5 Star rating that Gabrielle deserves. Using iPhone 17.”

A day with me is structured around providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. From walks and enrichment to feeding and visual health checks, I use my professional training and hands-on experience to ensure every animal is safe, comfortable, and engaged. Whether caring for energetic dogs, nervous rescues, or small animals, I adapt my approach to suit their individual personalities, always prioritising their wellbeing and happiness When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, helping them feel safe and settled in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s providing enrichment and exercise for active pets or a calm, patient approach for more anxious or rescue animals.

“Megan went above and beyond when dropping in on our cat while we were away. It was lovely to know she was getting lots of love and attention. Would highly recommend Megan and we will definitely ask her to look after our pets again.”
“It's the second time Sarah looked after my furry kids and she was brilliant. Even my not very sociable cat got close to her. I definitely recommend her and will not hesitate to book again.”
“Will was amazing as always! We’d never hesitate to leave Neil with Will, he updates as regularly as he can and can tell he loves the animals he cares for. Would always recommend Will”
“Jasmine has been amazing in taking care of my very timid cat. I was nervous about leaving him with someone new, but she took wonderful care of him. To my surprise, he warmed up to her to even allow pets and was purring a lot during their interactions, which says everything about how comfortable he felt. All of his daily needs were taken care of exactly as requested, and he looked far less stressed than I had expected. She also respected all my preferences regarding how the house should be left after each visit, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the care and attention my cat received. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi I’m Emily, I am very reliable and dependable, passionate about animals, nature, the beautiful earth we live upon and creating a more loving and peaceful experience for all beings. I have many years experience with a variety of animals of all shapes and sizes. I enjoy long and short walks of slow and fast paces as I can adjust to suit your pets needs and requirements. I offer a bespoke service, have an innerstanding of dog behavioural skills and simple dog training skills, including verbal and hand signalling. I have a strong intuition and enjoy animal whispering too with a variety of animals. I offer many services from dog walking, day and over night sitting, pop in's/drop in's, taxi's, one offs and regulars to suit your pets needs. I am flexible with availability, with regard to over night sits I prefer to stay in the owners home, as pets are always more comfortable staying in their own environment. I recently returned from travelling South America and now the wanderer has returned safely and I've decided to return to animal care to receive a mutual love exchange and I am open to your offerings. I also offer discounts for 2 or more pets, however this app doesn't have an option to offer those, so give me a message direct to arrange a chat and we can go from there. Looking forward to hearing from you regarding your fur babies! 🐾 I am flexible at the moment, I have a few personal projects, however I have an open work book ready and waiting to care for your fur babies. I live on a rural piece of land which has plenty of space for your pets, however I always suggest your fur babies will always prefer their own home.
About: Hi, my name is Taeya, I am a student of ecology and wildlife conservation at the University of Reading. I have always loved and cared for animals, whether they are pets or wild ones. Having family pets has meant I have developed a great attention for what our furry friends need for a happy and healthy life. I have lived in the countryside most of my life, and I love spending time outdoors, on walks and explorations. Previous jobs, such as dog/cat/house sitting, early years education, and caring for older adults, have enabled me to develop excellent communication skills and an ease in dealing with messes and cleaning. I can be adaptable to all family needs, being a fast learner, I can quickly pick up skills or practices. Working with animals is always a joy, understanding the wonderful and different characters of all pets. I can provide private work references on request. I am a final year university student living at home with my family. I commute to and from Reading a few days a week in term time and study remotely otherwise. My schedule is very flexible and ever-changing. I have a good size fenced garden in the countryside, with 2 small and friendly dogs that are good company. Walks in the area can span from 30 minutes to 4 hours and more. There is also a dog walking park near where I live so that’s a great place to go if dogs need some time off the lead but also in a safe environment.
About: I may have less than 1 year in the field but I’ve been a pet owner and been caring for pets my entire life. I live in the countryside and have been raised on long dog walks after a Sunday dinner, this quickly became my favourite day of the week as a kid! I have spent my adult life from the age of 17 working in the healthcare field from dementia care to hospice. I’m kind, reliable, hard working, and passionate about what I did then and do now. All I want to do is help people and their pets to the best of my ability. 12 hour shifts no longer suited me and I wanted to launch a business I was passionate about whilst allowing me the freedom to manage my own schedule. I’m currently working part - time 3 days a week so I’ll have plenty of availability on my days off and on weekends. I help with my autistic nephew on a Monday morning with school runs which allows me to have the day free on my calendar with plenty of flexibility. Tuesdays and weekends are my own but I’m hoping to fill these with new clients ! I currently do not offer dog boarding in my own home but I am able to stay within your own home to care for your pet, this allows them to be in a familiar environment without the stress of moving anywhere. I have forms that will be required to be filled in by you to allow me all the info I need about your pet in any situation and to keep them as close to their normal daily routine as possible
“Excellent care and attention was paid to my 3 diverse cats. Cannot fault Alexandra B,s communication to me on their interaction with her. Would opt for her at any point in the future. 👍”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life- I’ve spent over 10 years caring for dogs, cats (and even horses!) and at home my family have our own little crew of 3 dogs and 2 cats- so I know just how much love, attention and care our furry (and sometimes muddy!) friends need. I also have my own business doing this. With years of pet sitting experience I know how to keep tails wagging, paws happy and hearts full whilst you’re out! Pet sitting and dog walking is now my full time job! So I have plenty of time to play with your pups and cuddle your cats! I can offer tailored walks drop in visits and sitting at your home! I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments! I can easily keep to your pets routine to keep them happy whilst you’re away
