Cat Sitting in West Berkshire

“Thanks Khaley for looking after our cat while we were away on holiday. It was great to see pictures of him while we were away, and it was really reassuring to get your detailed Rover Cards every day! Really good communication before and during our holiday too. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks!”

Great levels of communication and flexibility. She gave us updates on our pets. I’ll definitely be asking for Lily’s help again - thank you Lily!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have my own dog of 7 years and a sweet 16-year-old cat, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Alongside caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after a wide variety of animals for friends, family, and clients through Rover—ranging from playful Chihuahuas to energetic Staffys, and everything in between! I’ve gained valuable experience looking after multiple pets at a time and have received excellent reviews for my reliable, friendly, and caring approach. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I work full-time Monday to Friday in Basingstoke and live in Newbury, with occasional days in Reading, so I can cover a wide area for pet care. I’m mainly available for weekend stays and evening visits during the week for feeding, playtime, and cuddles. For weekday stays, I’m out between 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM (dependant on the location) but your pets will always get plenty of love before and after! I also offer dog walks in the Basingstoke area on weekdays, as that’s where I work (9:30–5:30). I do my best to follow each pet’s routine and keep things as comfortable and consistent as possible! Your pets safety will always be my top priority. At home, my own cat is kept safe with a magnetic tag cat flap that only opens for her, and our garden is fully fenced to prevent any escapes. After discovering gap under the bush where animals could slip through to the neighbours, we quickly secured it with chicken wire - problem solved! I believe in creating a calm and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow consistent routines, maintain a healthy diet for my own pets, and always use positive reinforcement - praise and the occasional treat - for good behaviour. You can trust that your furry friend will be in a safe and loving space while you are away.

“Elysia did drop-in visits for our dog for a week and we couldn’t be happier. With her detailed reports and photos we knew we had made the right choice, she took to our boy instantly when we had the initial meet and greet, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future.”

About: As a child, I always had a dog and I like to be around any pets. Now I share the responsibility for our cat with my daughter. I like spending time with pets, playing with them, and giving them the attention they deserve. They bring so much happiness. I am quite flexible and can work with your schedule. I am a driver so can easily get to any address. Just let me know your schedule and will do my best to accommodate it. I am councious and follow the instructions from the pets owners. I can play and care for any pet. I will only feed them as instructed and make sure they are happy.

“Yuen Ying L was a great cat sitter. Easy to communicate with whilst we were away. She spent plenty of time with our cat and sent plenty of pics of him to keep us reassured he was ok. Will contact her again when we travel again. Would recommend. ”

About: I’m a caring, outdoorsy sitter who loves long walks and quiet evenings with furry company. I grew up in rural Hampshire with a mischievous Dalmatian, so I’m confident with energetic dogs and understand how to balance fun with calm. My home is peaceful, clutter-free, and has no stairs — perfect for senior dogs or those who prefer an easy space to relax. I’m experienced in keeping to routines and giving dogs the gentle structure they thrive on. Whether it’s puppy playtime, long countryside walks, or relaxed company, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I currently work as a full-time teacher so I’m not able to have my own pet, but I’m available from 5pm on Friday afternoons until late Sunday evenings. I am also available all day during independent school holidays, so please enquire for these dates. Safety and comfort always come first. My home is calm, secure, and on the ground floor — perfect for pets who like a peaceful space or prefer to avoid stairs. There’s plenty of room for them to relax, with quiet corners to retreat to and a big sofa that’s always open for cuddles! Right outside my front door is a large field that’s perfect for regular walks and playtime. I also have a car, so I can take dogs to beautiful nearby rural spots for longer adventures in nature. I keep routines consistent, give pets plenty of attention, and make sure they always feel safe, settled, and loved — whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home.

About: I have had a dog since childhood, which has given me over 30 years of hands, on experience caring for pets. Over the years, I have also helped friends, family, and neighbors with their dogs, taking care of walks, feeding, and giving them the attention they need. I am patient and caring with both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need extra support. I believe every pet has a unique personality, and I always make sure to respect their individual needs and routines. As a stay-at-home mom and therapist, I work mainly from home with occasional online sessions. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dog throughout the day. I can provide walks, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure your pup feels happy and safe. I live with my husband and two kids (ages 11 and 17), and we are all animal lovers. We have a secure fenced yard both in the front and back of the house, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have a pug friendly at home who love company, and I can crate your dog if needed for safety or comfort.

“Maria was great, I had to change things a little but it was no problem. Pickle loved her. Well done Maria, I would not hesitate to book again.”

About: As well as owning my own two dogs for seven years, for three years aboard, I worked in local dog pounds. I have helped care for and trained numerous different dogs. I have trained them with the basics such as sit, wait, and down, I have also helped them with anxiety issues, social issues, and learning to trust humans again. During this time, I also fostered 10+ dogs, from tiny puppies to dogs that were 5 or 6 years old, with health issues. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spending time with these dogs, nurturing them and showing them what a loving environment is about. I currently work part time and am able to fit in pet visits and walking Mon - Fri 9.30 -14.30 dog walking. I am also available every other weekend as well. I can easily crate your dog if they have anxiety issues and require a safe space. I am respectful of a dog / cat in their home environment and any rules you have for your home I will adhere to and respect. If you require muddy paws wiped before entry, a groom before bed, biscuits laid out before I leave them please let me know.

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. One of my cats sadly passed away with Feline Cystitis and he needed lots of medications. One of my dogs has allergies and sometimes needs medications for this. 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 may need to bring my daughter with me for some visits, but this would be discussed beforehand. I have a 6ft fence around the garden. Dogs are very much welcome on the sofa to be comfortable. I live near a huge woods and lots of lovely dog walks.

About: I an a freelance dancer, so I am full of energy and happy to support your pet however they need! I have one dog who is a bubbly lab and one crazy springer and before that had cats my whole life, so I have a passion for taking care of animals. I’m confident, enthusiastic, reliable and will love your dog as if they are my own! I am flexible!! I am happy to walk your dog early if that’s needed or happy to stay longer than planned at a house sitting if you’ve had a change of plan! Being freelance I make my own schedule so this works well for me! I will care for your pet however you need me to! Happy to just give cuddles, or walk them, bathe them, play with them etc.

About: I’ve always had a family dog and most of our friends and family have either dogs or cats, so I've had experience with many breeds over the years. I have a very caring and calming nature, I love all animals and I also feel very capable of looking after anxious pets or pets with special requirements. I’m currently trying to make pet walking and sitting a full time job, so I am available to move in with a pet and be there all the time to care for them and meet all their needs. It also means I can walk the dogs at anytime so as to keep them in their usual routine. I have been entrusted many times with pet sitting within another person’s home, leaving everything as it was when I arrived. I am capable of crating dogs if necessary and making sure all their needs and routines are met during my stay. I am very trustworthy and honest, I have keys to a few family friends homes so I can pop in to their pets whenever needed, so I am used to looking after someone's home as well as their pets.

“Leanne was fab, she came for her first drop-in for my two dogs, she was very flexible and reliable which was incredibly helpful as it’s around Christmas and everyone is so busy normally! Can’t wait till have her over to stay with the dogs while we’re away soon 🙂”
