Pet Sitting in Test Valley

“What an absolute legend. Jade accommodated my request for a last minute booking and I’m so grateful. Jade is extremely tidy and followed a detailed meds plan with ease. The cats (Gertrude & Freya) both want to thank Jade too for being kind and gentle and looking after them whilst I was away on business. Don’t scroll by…..book Jade and know your animals are in safe hands.”

About: I’m the founder of WRR Pet Services, with a Bachelor’s degree in Zoo Biology and a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management. I’m certified in pet first aid, hold a clean DBS check, and have ISCP dog walking certification. I have hands-on experience working in a zoo, kennels, and catteries, as well as fostering rescue animals. I’ve also worked with an anti-poaching team in South Africa and have experience with a wide range of species, including exotic animals. With both professional training and lifelong experience, I focus on providing safe, reliable, and high-quality care tailored to each pet’s needs. 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. I also carry out regular health and safety checks, administer basic care where needed, and ensure their space stays clean and comfortable. Throughout my visits, I focus on building trust and providing genuine companionship, so your pet feels secure and well cared for even while you’re away.

“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.”

“Georgia-Mary was an amazing sitter for our sweet cat, Jinx! She was conscientious, thoughtful and made sure Jinx had everything she needed while we were away. She made sure she understood all feeding and care details and Jinx was calm and content when we came home. We felt completely comfortable leaving keys for her despite never meeting in person and would happily have her cat sit for us again. ☺️”

“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.”

“Charlotte was very helpful and helped us out of a potentially difficult situation last minute. We received regular updates and we returned home to a happy car.”

“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!”

Timothy T.

“Was so patient and caring with our extremely intelligent, tricksy, and *very particular* poodle. Will definitely ask for her help again in future!”

About: I have had dogs now for almost 10 years and have trained and walked multiple dogs of friends and family. I am certified dog trainer and know all basic training techniques. I have a small home but plenty of walking trails and fields. Me and my partner work opposite shifts so we would be able to take care of your pets through the whole day. Overnight or weekends are always welcome. I have a fenced yard with plenty of comfy spots. We have a 7am breakfast time and 7pm dinner time but can be flexible to the needs of your dog.

About: I've been raised around dogs my whole life and was taught how to care for and train them as soon as I was able to. I have plenty of experience with administering a variety of medications and first aid (thanks to my Lurcher always going 100 miles an hour). I have a 4 year old male Lurcher called Buzz who is always looking for a play mate and attends a daycare regularly. He's playful with other dogs but generally bounces off how other dogs act, so if your dog is calm and prefers to be left alone, he won't bother them much. Our property has a large garden with tall fence which your dog will have free access to. There are many walking routes nearby to suit your dogs needs including a popular dog walking field. I am able to cater to most of your dogs needs, e.g. - feeding schedule, walking, playtime and rest time, medications etc. Please message me if unsure! I am able to collect and drop off your dog where possible but would encourage you to visit if your dog will be having an extended stay or regular visits, just for piece of mind. My availability is scheduled around my job so unable to be changed, I will not leave your dog alone in the house at any time. My dog is high energy and requires 1.5 hrs of exercise minimum per day, your dog is welcome to join us though I can accommodate a more quiet/ shorter walk where needed. I'm able to provide brain games (cardboard boxes filled with treats, dog puzzles, chew toys) and specialised walks depending on your dogs needs and consistent attention. Your dog will have free access to the garden and house while here. They're welcome to sit/sleep on sofas, explore the house and make themselves comfortable so they can feel safe and relaxed. A specific feeding schedule for your dog can be catered to if need be, such as specific timings or feeding away from my dog if protective over food. My dog has plenty of toys to share, though if your dog has a habit of destroying/chewing toys please provide some of your own.

About: Hi! I’m Krissie, and I love caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m attentive, reliable, and make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and even helping with basic training. Your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while in my care. I’m flexible, caring, and treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them a fun, safe, and loving experience! Daily Routine: I make sure pets are cared for consistently every day. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them lots of attention and affection. For cats, I provide meals, litter cleaning, and interactive play. I’m also comfortable with special care, like administering medication or hand-rearing kittens when needed. Weekly Routine: I like to maintain a predictable schedule for pets, ensuring they get regular exercise, feeding, and social interaction throughout the week. I also make sure their environment is clean and stimulating, with plenty of mental and physical engagement. I adjust my routine to each pet’s needs, so they feel happy, safe, and loved every day. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety and comfort. I provide a secure, clean, and pet-friendly space, including a fully fenced garden where dogs can play and explore safely. I supervise all activities, follow instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, medication, or special care—and give pets lots of attention and gentle guidance so they feel happy, safe, and loved in my care.

About: Hi there! My name is Vanessa and I have been looking after dogs for over 25 years. I have owned 7 dogs in my life and had my own dog boarding business that offered a home to home setting for dogs for 10 years whilst living abroad in France. Now being back in the UK, I want to continue offering my services for any dog owner that’s in need. I have always believed that a dog should be cared for equally to the rest of the family and therefore should be treated exactly that way. Dogs are what I know best and love the most so I’m very happy to take care of them. I am also a passionate walker and having a companion is always a great pleasure. I do not work so I am able to offer full time care and attention to your pets. I have the time to care for dogs who are needing specific attention or have specific needs. I have an enclosed garden so I can always let them out as frequently as needed. I have lots of fields and forests nearby so I can offer lovely walks when needed. This is my full time job so I am able to ensure your dog gets the best care. I offer a home to home feeling for your dog. I believe it is important that your dog feels relaxed and at home when they come to stay. Every dog has his/her own needs so in order to make sure they feel settled, I am happy to go through anything they might need to feel more secure.

“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: 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.
