Graham took care of our cat for a week and a half and did a fantastic job. I only asked him to handle the basics, but he made a point of playing with my cat at every visit and even spent time entertaining my pet mouse, which wasn't part of the arrangement at all. He sent regular updates, which made being away much easier. Reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend him to anyone in the Oxford area

The sitter brought a child into my apartment without first obtaining my permission. During the visit, my cat hissed at the child, and the sitter stated they would punch my cat if they do something. Sitter also did not stay with my cats for the full 30 minutes for which they were booked.

Graham was awesome to work with! Our Moose had a great time and we will definitely use him again if we need a sitter in Oxford!

House Sitting • Mar 26, 2026

This was our first experience with a dog/house sitter. It couldn’t have gone better. Graham was great with the dogs and their medicines and quirks. He communicated with us often. He gave us a worry-free vacation. Can’t say enough good things about him.

I have a three bedroom house with my friendly basset hound Toby as a playmate. I have a front and back yard and take Toby on daily walks around the neighborhood. I am happy to crate your dog if needed or adjust to their specific needs.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy helping to ensure dogs are mentally and physically stimulated. I will try to incorporate many of the same activities owners love to do with their companions. I like to go for long walks, play games, and explore new areas with furry friends.
