“Luna had a fantastic day with Robyn and Arya - she hardly knew we were gone! We would definitely recommend Robyn to anyone - she organised a pre-meet, she was punctual and kept us informed, but most importantly, she was really good with Luna, who loved having Arya around to play with too. Thanks very much Robyn!”

“Charlie is a fantastic sitter that I will definitely be booking with again. She is always prompt with her communication, kept my home as tidy as before I left, and was fabulous company for my two older dogs! Lots of photos and how relaxed they were when I got back was a sure sign they were happy 😊 Thank you Charlie!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was young and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets including rescue dogs, hamsters, and budgies. Over the years I’ve provided dog walking, drop-ins, overnight house sitting, and pet care for friends, family, and clients. I have also completed a pet first aid course for extra peace of mind. I’m especially patient with nervous or anxious pets, having spent the last 9 years with my rescue dog who is fearful of people, which has taught me how important calm energy, trust, and routine are. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve also handled more responsible aspects of pet care when needed, including taking dogs to vet appointments during pet sits, so I’m able to stay calm, attentive, and reliable in different situations. I genuinely love animals and always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the day, especially during longer stays. Depending on your pet’s needs and routine, I’m able to do walks in the mornings, at lunchtime, after work, and in the evenings, while also spending plenty of time with them during the day. For dog walking and drop-ins, I’m generally available on selected weekdays at lunchtime, every evening after 5pm, most weekends, and during holidays including bank holidays and Christmas. I currently provide pet care in the owner’s home, as I believe many pets feel happiest and most comfortable staying in their familiar environment and routine. I always take the time to understand each pet’s usual schedule, personality, and needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I aim to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and consistency. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind.

“Maria was fantastic with Peggy and Olympia! She followed their routine perfectly, including medication and feeding, and took them for a walk. We really appreciated her flexibility when we were a bit late, and she stayed without any issue. Knowing she spent the whole day with them gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Peggy and Olympia had a wonderful time in Maria's company. We will definitely book Maria again!”

“Ellie stayed with Basil while we were away on holiday and we came home to a very happy and relaxed Basil. We were able to relax knowing he was in safe hands and had loads of photos and messages to see how /what he was up to. Staying at home meant that Basil, who is quite elderly now, maintained all his usual routines and had plenty of company and cuddles. Ellie successfully navigated a couple of housing issues with fuses blowing etc. We also came home to a clean, tidy house. We’d definitely recommend Ellie to others.”

“Tani was so so lovely and the girls were both very happy and well looked after. She sent us photo updates and was great with my slightly anxious texts. It was also a bit last minute so I failed to leave great instructions, but she was really flexible with me sending info sporadically (sorry!! 😅🙏). Moira is a rescue and Sophia is a senior, Tani was fantastic in both respects and super understanding about their needs. Our house was in great condition and clean when we got home too. Thank you again! 💖”

“Aimee was a wonderful sitter for Willow. Communication was great, we had photo updates and came home to a very happy and tired dog. Thank you so much!”

“Thank you Kiah for spending time with our 2 so we can see Oasis. A nice meet and greet before and we felt that they were in good hands. Easily understood how we care for them and very adaptable if there was any last minute changes. Luckily there weren't any. We will definitely look to book in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life including cats and dogs. I frequently look after multiple dogs and am always keen to go out for long walks, all weathers permitted! I currently work 8-4 and I am available at the weekends for walking and sitting. Happy to cover days as required and flexible with weekend hours. I will make sure your pet has structured eating times and plenty of water to drink, often taking them into the garden to play and of course many belly rubs!

“Angie and Dave came to dog sit our Working Cockers for one night. They are very professional; know their dogs and obviously love being with them. We felt they were in good and safe hands . We will try to book them again but understandably they are very popular and very busy!”

Georgina M.

“A huge thank you to Francois! We came home to a very happy dog and a house that was tidier/cleaner than we left it!! We so appreciate your time and effort looking after Fritz and our house, thank you again. Very trustworthy and very reliable - especially with a puppy! :)”

Millie R.

“My dog had a wonderful time at Anna’s and she was very easy to trust. She’s clearly a genuine and caring person and that came through via pictures and updates during his stay. We will definitely be using Anna again!”

About: I absolutely love dogs, to the point that I'm considering dog caring as a new career option. I have owned a pedigree Westie for the last five years since he was a puppy and took him to puppy training classes locally. I am very friendly and enjoy meeting people as well as getting to know their dogs and often chat to other owners and stroke their dogs when out walking my own. We have lots of great walks nearby and I also love exploring! I have a dog-flap installed so your dog can access a fenced garden as they need throughout the day so that's one less thing for them to worry about. I am relaxed and happy to welcome your dog as if this is their own home from home. We're looking forward to meeting you.

Available for WALKIES (& drop ins) before 8:30 and from 18:30 and SLEEPOVERS aka overnight boarding in owners’ home. She grew up with the beloved family Labradors, and todays family dog is Cockapoo, Jogge, Georgie loves the dog walks and being outside a lot. She has also cared for a pack of 3 Afghan hounds and 2 Westies, and 4 awesome poodles. Georgie is happy to walk, wash, groom, feed, play and fuss your dogs 😊 Get in touch ☺️ With additional work as a part time massage therapist, Georgie is available most regularly for dog walking and sitting before 8:30am and after 18:30, and night sits. (With sometimes a shift at a second job 9:30-13:45 or 14:00-18:00) Unfortunately, I haven't got the capacity to be caring for pets in my own home. I can do dog walks or dog sitting in the owner's home.

About: I’ve had dogs for the past 12 years growing up with 2 working cocker spaniels on a farm and have cared for them from puppyhood through adulthood. Family and friends regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, trusting me to give them the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m calm, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I also love exploring and being outdoors, so dogs in my care can expect fun walks, and plenty of stimulation alongside lots of affection. I am a Financial accountant who can work from home for up to two weeks. I tend to go to CrossFit in the mornings and if it’s suitable to the dog I will bring them along, followed by a walk before the day job starts. I like to spend some time in the garden with them at lunch to provide some midday stimulation, followed by a short 30 minute walk after work before settling down for the evening. I have a fenced garden, with no escape routes near Newbury town centre, with lots of options for walks around the local conservation trail and local greenham common.

“Kora was amazing looking after Ormer our cocker spaniel. She was treated like part of the family and. Pulsing have been cared for better. Thank you so much!”

About: I appreciate and understand your dog is your baby as such we offer a FREE OF CHARGE meet up at a local park and home visit prior to a cash booking. -----I have always been an animal lover. We have hosted friends and families pets for many years. We are a fun house with 1 resident pet Storm a high energy staffy. We love going for walks along the river and playing at the park. I love baking dog treats and dog ice creams ! I work remotely so control my diary. Storm and I take an hour to 90 minutes stroll in the afternoon and usually throw in a few blasts to the local park as needed. We live by the canal and with ample dog friendly fields in under 3 minutes. I have a fenced garden which is entirely enclosed. During the warmer months I secure the garden so the dogs can wander in an out of the house. Whilst Storm is not especially great with cats ( unless they are black) she is highly socialized and can handle even high anxiety alpha personalities. Storm and I are well known in our region by dog owners and sitters alike and I'm personally a huge fan of bully breeds and skilled at handling them regardless of prey vs hunt drives.
