"Sam recently sat for my two scotties whilst we went away for 10 days. We couldn’t have hoped for a nicer person to care for them. She came and met them ( and me) a week or so before the sit and right away she had a great rapport with them,they immediately relaxed with her and I felt confident that they would be well looked after. This was definitely the case.We returned last night to two very happy chilled dogs and a lovely clean house! Thankyou Sam!"

"Sasha was an amazing house/pet sitter when I went away recently. She took care of my girls so well. They both warmed to her straight away. I could tell that Sasha was an animal lover and felt an instant trust. My apartment was left spotless and both my girls were happy. I will be using Sasha again. It's hard to find someone you can trust to look after your animals that you love so much. I'm so glad I found her. "

"Zoe was a great sitter. She is friendly and responsive when booking. The cats loved her, and she left the house as she found it. We didn’t worry about the cats at all whilst we were away, which is exactly what you want for a holiday. Would definitely recommend Zoe and will use her again for future holidays. "

"Where do I begin… Farhana is AMAZING. We were so nervous to have a brand new sitter come and stay at our house for 2 weeks but we are beyond thrilled to have found Farhana and any doubts we may have had were erased so quickly. We have a big Doberman who can be intimidating to people at first but is in fact a complete love bug and a kitten. Farhana sent us photos and videos of them every day all snuggled up with her and just knowing they fell in love with her and were being safe and cuddled made us SO happy and reassured. Not only could we tell how much our paw babies loved her but she is beyond professional. We have had extremely expensive “dog trainers” who house sat for us and let me tell you, Farhana exceeded them in every single way. I am yet to meet another sitter in the Berkshire area who is as professional, calm, prompt, communicative, positive and respectful as Farhana. On top of our four paws being loved our home was so looked after, we came home to a beautiful, freshly cleaned house that looked even better than when we left! Farhana went above and beyond in every way. Obie and Tux could not have been happier than they were with her and the house looked amazing upon our return. We had constant contact and reassurance and knew that Farhana really cared. She picked up on their personality quirks almost instantly which showed how in tune with them she was. She took Obie on great walks and gave her the exposure she needed, yet she took no risks and kept them safe whilst also relaxing with them and spoiling them. This is very rare. If you are questioning hiring her - don’t. Thank you Farhana for everything."

"I am very grateful to Mads for cat and house sitting for me. My cat was happy, relaxed and very well cared for, and Mads kept me up to date with pictures and videos throughout my trip, which really put me at ease as I could see how content the cat was. For a rescue cat that can easily be scared and nervous with new people she took to Mads from the start. The house and garden was clean, tidy and very well looked after - as if I'd never been away. I find it very difficult to leave the cat so can't thank you enough Mads and won't hesitate to be in touch again for the next trip, of which I am much more comfortable planning having met you. "

"Can’t properly express in words how grateful we were to find Ashter! On holiday down south and needed to find someone to watch our dog for 5-6 hours so we could attend a family event. Ashter replied very quickly and said she could do it. Honestly couldn’t have expected her to have been as good as she was. Ted had the best 6 hours of his life :))) he was pampered with homemade treats, petted for what looks like the full time :)) walked, even had his dirty paws wiped with coconut bamboo wipes lol ted is quite an anxious dog when I am not there and honestly I think he was torn between me and Ashter when I returned back for him LOL. It made leaving him so easy when we had all been worried about it. Ashter is a clear animal whisperer, your dog will adore her, she puts her heart and soul into it and you’ll be very lucky if she’s free to sit your fur child. I only wish she stayed closer as she would definitely be teds new babysitter for any occasion. The app is great too, easy payment and makes you feel secure in your booking. Thanks so much Ashter! You exceeded all expectations and I’m still amazed how well ted was looked after! Xx"

"I was a bit apprehensive about using a house sitter, my puppy is a handful and I needed someone to look after her for 14 hours. Luckily I found Hazel, and she was an absolute dream. She arrived on time, sent me updates and photos while I was away and took care of my puppy wonderfully. Thank you Hazel! I will 100% be using her again in the future. "

"5 Star service provided ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were very lucky to book Fiona to stay at our house and look after our 9 year old cat Willow, whilst our family were away for 2 weeks recently. Fiona is a thoroughly lovely, friendly and kind lady who absolutely adores animals. When Fiona visited us to meet Willow before we went away, she asked lots of questions about Willow, her routines, her likes and dislikes, so she could look after her as we do. She took amazing care of Willow, not only doing the basic duties of feeding , litter duty and daily brushing, etc, Fiona gave Willow so much attention, playing with her and sitting with Willow in the garden when Willow wanted to be outdoors…. You could not get better care for your pet… During our time away, Fiona messaged daily giving updates and sending through pictures and videos reassuring us that Willow was settled and ok. Willow instantly bonded with Fiona and was completely happy and content the whole time we were away. We came home to a very happy cat. Fiona was also very respectful to our home and it was immaculately clean on our return. I highly recommend Fiona and would instantly book her again when we go away on holiday. I am also happy to supply a reference to anyone who is considering booking Fiona to care for their pet in the future. Kim….07778032989."

"Jess was looking after Ollie for 10 days whilst we were on holiday. Ollie is a dog reactive rescue, so it’s challenging to take care of him. I cannot praise Jess enough, she has been amazing! I received pictures and updates of Ollie every day and I am sure he was entertained and kept busy as when we got home he was nice and calm. I could straight away walk with him and didn’t lose his focus. Jess really knows what she is doing, and she follows the dogs schedule. Our house has been looked after as well! 😊"

Why house sitting ?

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Reading home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Reading.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Reading home is also being looked after as well.

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Pet owners book house sitting in Reading on Pawshake. Over 656 pet owners in Reading have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
