Pet Sitters in Caversham

Emma

Emma was fantastic - she slotted in as part of the family, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you for being so fabulous.

Sharon

Sharon was the first sitter I’ve used so I was nervous to leave the flat and cat to someone I hadn’t met, but she quickly put my mind at ease. It was evident from our initial conversations that she’s organised and a real cat lover. Communication was seamless before she arrived - it was very easy to talk about arrangements / questions etc, and she turned out to be very reliable with regards to the cat’s needs during the stay. She sent regular kitty updates which I loved and I also came back to a spotless flat. I’d definitely recommend Sharon to others!

Zoë

Zoe was lovely,we felt very happy leaving Dougie in her capable hands. They looked after Dougie,the house as well as even the garden beautifully. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.

SHEILA

Sheila is a star and we feel very lucky to have had such a reliable and trustworthy sitter for our dog and our home. Despite her train being cancelled en route to us, she still managed to arrive on the agreed date, which was a huge relief all round. Our dog, Floyd, was very well cared for, with regular updates and photos from Sheila. When we returned home, we could see he'd been regularly brushed, as we'd requested . He was clean and very happy. Our house was immaculate and smelt fresh and clean. We were very impressed with the way Sheila asked relevant questions regarding house security, Floyd's routine and how frequently we'd like to be kept updated about him. It showed real commitment on her part. We have no hesitation about recommending Sheila for a house/pet sit and would welcome her back here again anytime. Thank you Sheila!

Shauna

Thank you Shauna for being a very caring and conscientious house sitter. I am so grateful that you offered to house sit with our elderly cat Molly. Shauna without hesitation took on the role to give Molly her insulin injections twice a day and make her feel comfortable while we were away. I would highly recommend Shauna.

Hollie

Holly made us feel safe in the knowledge that she would care for Freya as she was her own. They took her everywhere they went and Freya seemed happy and relaxed in the photos we received. I would definitely have Holly to care for Freya again 🐾🐾

Janis

Janis and Vic were excellent dogsitters. They were great at communicating both before and during the dog sit. Honey was well looked after and didn't really miss us! Trustworthy, reliable, extremely tidy (the house was immaculate on our return) and thoughtful in that they kept us updated with photos of Honey and left us a home cooked lasagne for us to heat up on our return. Fabulous! We would thoroughly recommend them.

Rachel

Rachel was an excellent pet sitter. She is very respectful and was amazing with our dog. She is welcome back anytime. Thank you so much Rachel

Anusha

Anusha and James were the most perfect Housesitters. Initial contact was easy and efficient, their questions showed how thoughtful and understanding they were about the needs of our two Labradors. Sheba and Lucy obviously loved being looked after by Anusha and James as they were so happy and relaxed when we got home, which incidentally, was to a house that was clean, tidy and perfect! They even left some flowers, essential groceries and a lovely note for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to sit again and hope they will be able to next time we need sitters. Thank you Anusha and James.

Lananh & Ross

Although we didn't meet LanAnh, she kept in contact with us the whole time during the sit. The children seemed to love being on the farm and enjoyed playing with the dogs. The house was clean and tidy when we got home and all the beds had been stripped at washed. A meal was ready for us to cook too which was lovely as we were very tired. LanAnh has asked if they can come back and sit which we would be happy for them to do. Thank you

Carole

Carole & David were brilliant house sitters. They looked after our much loved Labrador. He was looking very fit and healthy when we returned. They sent us many photos of their walks, which was so reassuring that he was happy and well. Everything in the house was perfect when we returned.

Sophia & Daniel

Sophia and family are 5 Star. Lily was well and happy in their care, and definitely well loved. A meeting with us before our departure was much appreciated and reassuring, too. Sophia left our home spotless, washed the bed linen and made our homecoming so pleasurable. Hurrah for Sophia and family 👏 Please come again 😁

Helena

My sit in the Cotswolds was much too short, I had so much fun looking after Letti and Minnie, they are the sweetest dogs. Letti is full of energy, as you'd expect from a six month old, and she loves playing and stealing any socks left unattended :D
Helena and Adrian are great hosts with a lovely home. They made me feel welcome from the start and showed me everything, including their usual walk before they left.
I'd love to visit again!

Ronna

I had the BEST time at Ronna and Rob's place. Unfortunately, they took their dog Korra with them on their family trip to the beach, so I missed out on caring for Korra. Korra LOVES the beach.  Ronna is an excellent communicator! I was not able to meet Ronna and Rob in person because of my other scheduled sits and on transition days we were heading in the opposite directions. Ronna did a fantastic job of showing me around her home via facetime. Ronna and Rob offered wonderful suggestions for things to do and places to eat. 5*s for all of their suggestions! Lupin and Shadow are sweet kitties that are very easy to care for. They are independent. They will let you know when they want extra love and attention. Shadow slept with me. Lupin would sneak in when Shadow would leave the bed. I had a fabulous time at Ronna and Rob's place. Lupin and Shadow were wonderful! Ronna and Rob have a beautiful, comfortable home in an amazing and safe community. They have a beautiful back yard with amazing views! I would highly recommend this sit! I will be back if the timing works out! Honestly can say enough great things about Ronna, the kitties and the location! I'm only bummed that I did not get to spend time with Korra. Thank you Ronna and Rob for trusting me with your fur family members and welcoming me into your home!
