About: We have over 30 years of experience in having and loving dogs. We have an older dog of our own who is very friendly and loves company on his walks. I am semi retired and have plenty of time to walk and exercise your dog. Our home backs on to a lovely lake and open spaces. Our older dog Ozzie is very laid back and usually curls himself around me on our sofa. Your dog will be treated had part of our family and given a lot of love and attention. If they want to snuggle on the sofa that is absolutely fine with me. My husband will also give your dog an early morning walk if they are partial to that. We have a garden which is fenced off and we also have a dog flap so if I have popped out your dog will not have to wait to be let out for his or her toilet breaks. Our dog is very friendly with other dogs and we will make them feel safe and comfortable in our home from home.
“Georgia looked after our two family dogs over the weekend and was so helpful, friendly, flexible and responsive! She sent us photos of our dogs having a lovely time whilst she was with them so I know they were well looked after. Would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to ask her to mind them again in the future!”
“This was my first booking with Charlotte ( and Rover) and it was a great start. Charlotte connected quickly and easily with Spook who responded well to her quiet calm style. He obviously had a good time. He was really relaxed when I got home. Thank you”

All of our therapy and holiday property lettings work has moved online now so we can work remotely from anywhere.

About: Greetings all Emily here, welcome to my profile! I recently returned from travelling South America and now the wanderer has returned safely and decided to step into animal care again - I am open to your offerings. I’m 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 behaviour and body language, simple dog training skills, including verbal and hand signalling. I have a strong intuition and enjoy animal whispering too with a variety of animals too. I offer many services depending on availability from dog walking, pet day and over night sitting in my home and owners home, pet pop in's/drop in's, pet taxi's, one offs, part time, full time, monthly and weekly regulars to suit your pets needs and everything else in between. Regarding over night care I prefer to stay in the owners home, as pets are always more comfortable staying in their own environment. Please bear in mind Rover charges me commission so the price you see is to cover Rover costs. I offer discounts for each tribe such as, 2 or more pets in the same household for 5 or more days per week, however this particular app doesn't have an option to offer those, so feel free to give me a message regarding your requests and we can go from there. Looking forward to hearing from you regarding your fur babies! 🤗🐾 I’m somewhat flexible at the moment with a few personal side projects, so I’m open to receive your offerings regarding 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.
“John is fantastic with our very energetic, boisterous lab. Maple clearly loves the walks and is very excited when John arrives. He takes her such varied, long walks and we are very grateful-will definitely be booking again.”

I am not normally gone for more than 4 hours however if it is longer my partner also sometimes works from home so with enough notice he can be there If your dog is house trained I can care for them at my home however I can also care for your loved pets in their own home and am able to collect from their home and take them for walks or drop in to feed and play with them for a few hours where needed. I am also able to stay overnight if required.
