Pet Sitting West Berkshire

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I currently have two dogs, including a puppy, which has given me valuable experience with puppy training, routines, socialisation, and the extra patience and consistency that young dogs need. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets through Rover, as well as for friends and family. From tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Staffies, older dogs needing a gentler pace, and households with multiple pets, every booking has helped me build my knowledge and confidence. I’m proud to have received excellent reviews for my reliable, friendly, and caring approach. Sadly, I lost my beloved 16-year-old cat in July 2026, who had been part of my family for many years. That experience has only strengthened my understanding of how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to leave them with someone you can genuinely trust. I’m currently looking for a new full-time career, which means I have much greater flexibility for bookings and can often accommodate daytime care, longer stays, and last-minute requests. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My priority is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind. 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.

About: I have grown up with dogs and have been trusted to look after families and friends dogs since I was very young. I am a vegetarian and love all animals! I work part time at a secondary school, teaching art and design, therefore I have a lot of free time during school holidays to spend with your pet! My pets are treated with the best care and love, I will make sure your animals have exactly what they need whether that’s pots of cuddles or long walks.

“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.”

Helen P.

“Ellie did a fantastic job looking after our dog whilst we had a family event. She was totally reliable and brilliant with our elderly little dog. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

Linda C.

“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. ”

Richard / Heather K.

“Calente is great. Really calm and gentle which has enabled Charlie to feel extremely relaxed on her first visit - so important for a nervous rescue ❤️. She has a lovely energy, great communication and we have already booked in a couple more visits to continue to build on what is looking to be a very beautiful relationship with Charlie🙏”

“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.”

I can play and care for any pet. I will only feed them as instructed and make sure they are happy.

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 have had dogs throughout my whole life and have walked many of my friends of families dogs consistently throughout the past 3 years. I have had experience walking a small group of dogs daily for a more than a few months, have walked dogs solo including bigger breeds. I have taken dogs solo and in a group to dog parks for extra exercise. I have also owned cats for 7 years and am experienced with their behaviour and know how to acknowledge their needs and give them the appropriate attention. I’m currently working part time on a 6 hour contract in retail, I’m looking to make a little extra money to be able to get by after finishing college this year and this is a perfect opportunity for me. I own a cat and dog sit my sister’s dog regularly while she is at work. My cat gets all the attention in the world, he is an active cat and likes to be left alone sometimes, owning a cat like this made me aware of the signs that a cat needs space. I have walked my sister’s dog many times over 2 years, she can be unhappy around other dogs sometimes so I know how to deal with a dog that is stressed. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for any animal I encounter.

About: A dog loving hooman who just can't get enough of the little rascals. A dog photographer recently moved from Anglesey to Berkshire with experience in owning my own dogs from Mastiffs to Doberman, and mostly rescues. Some absolute terrors in need of full time affection and training. I enjoy looking after dogs and learning about the personalities of each breed. I have gone through extensive (and very expensive) dog behaviousral training for previous rescue dogs over the years and spend a lot of time leanring about training techniques through well known online trainers. I find the different techniques interesting from trainer to trainer and enjoy training dogs as directed by owners. I'm happy walking an absolute nightmare large breed (ahem Doberman) to doing tricks with a well trained Collie off the lead. Always following the rules set by the owner. I have three dog loving children, age 5-11, who all want a dog, so also enjoy the walks, training and cuddles offered. They are well versed in approaching dogs carefully and not overcrowding etc. If you need a good friendly, safe location for you dog then give me a shout. We also have a fantastic woodland at the rear of the house, perfect for short or long walks without needing to drive to a dog park. Also have a good sized garden with 6ft fence perimeter set on a private housing estate. I am a photographer and due to recently moving to the area, don;t have too much of a busy schedule. I also work from home most of the time. So, I am generally at home Mon-Fri. As mentioned, I have a fab walking area nearby, a good sized garden, and I can follow guidelines set by the owner. Crating, leaving alone, short walks/long walks, whatever you require.

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’m a kind hearted, well Grounded person. I love to explore and be outside. Living next to the woods has given me the chance to go on adventures with my spaniel Bolly, and her other doggy friends. I have always been fond of the idea of having my own kennels or boarding home for dogs as I see dogs as a way to bring happiness into a home. It is just my mum and I in the house so it’s quite quiet. And living with such an amazing space for dogs to run around and play in seems like such a waste. We have a generous back garden with a woods for walks and a park just up the road. We also have plenty of sleeping space for large dogs and small. So I have wxperience training dogs also. It can be a real task for those who work full time, and that is something I would be happy to help with. For those that do work a regular 9-5 job, I am happy to pop in and make sure everything is okay and take your pooch out for a stroll. Pet care is my primary focus so I am available 24/7 with the exception of some weekends and planned trips of course. Always open to amending my timetable where necessary I have a large enclosed garden that backs off to the woods - these are at our disposal which is fabulous. We also have an enclosed dog run for feeding etc.

“Great communication! Really engaged.And the kids seem ti connect with her straightway. Would definitely request repeat service....”
