Oxford Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello Everyone! My names Caroline and I'm a HR Professional based in the centre of Oxford near the station. During my studies, I pet-sat for many pets on this app and another app including kittens and dogs which I absolutely loved! Availability: most weekday evenings after 5:15. occasional availability on weekends so do shoot me a message! In particular, I walked a small Boston Terrier 4 times a week, with regular long stays at the owners home. For friends I have house-sat for two labradors this summer for 2 weeks and the year prior, I house-sat for another Labrador for a week. This Labrador was a senior girl and I dealt with an experience of her falling sick. I learnt a lot during this care, involving communication and regular updates with the owner, an online vet consultation, an emergency vet visit in the early hours of the morning and of course lots of caring for the dog and using my judgement. The dog has recovered very well! I also volunteered at the RSPCA for many years walking and spending time with their dogs and cats both up for adoption and in boarding :)) I myself have had two cats and three rabbits - all of which have lived to very old if that says anything about my care of them haha. My 20 year old cat now has taught me to to adapt my behaviour and care of him as the years have gone on. I spend all day at a computer so I’m really trying to get out more and move environment! free Saturday/Sundays all day and weekday evenings generally free :)) Of course all pets are creatures of habit so I’ll cater to that as much as I can, making sure timings are adhered too as well as regular walking/ sleeping spots.

Caroline was amazing with Dexter! We felt very happy leaving him with her and we came back to collect a very happy dog! Thank you Caroline 😁

Caroline recently walked our miniature schnauzer and she was great – she kept us updated during the walks, sent over photos, and was flexible with timings. Highly recommended :)

Caroline looked after my rather nervous little pup really well and was very helpful and flexible when we were arranging the sit. It was great to be able to leave my pup there in the knowledge that she would be well cared-for.

Information Caroline D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special behaviours your pet may have for me to look out for and account for! I’d just need to know how often to feed, walk, and for how long etc.

A typical day

I’ll take your dog(s) on lovely walks through local parks! I also love just relaxing inside with your pet in my house or your house. If it’s a high energy dog, I can also do a run or cycle. I can also provide calm company for pets that enjoy just relaxing and some quiet.
