I'm a student, so my hours are mainly independent work besides a few ours of course meetings a week. I have a lot of experience doing academic work while caring for pets, and it is ideal because much of my work can be done from anywhere and on my own time.

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot care for pets in my own home because I live in student accommodation, but I have extensive experience ensuring that cats do not get outside if this is not permitted, checking doors and windows to make sure they're safe (this also applies to dogs). I also have extensive experience keeping dogs close both on a leash and off.

Lifelong experience caring for cats and dogs!

Pet care experience

I have 23 years of experience living with cats and dogs (my whole life), and have been taking care of them myself since I was very little. I live right next to University Parks and will gladly take your dog on an outdoor adventure there or somewhere further away. I'm a postgraduate student coming from a home with 2 cats and 2 dogs (one older big one, one rambunctious little one) and greatly miss all of them.

Madeleleine took Nellie for a walk during our wedding ceremony in Oxford. She did a fantastic job and really gave us peace of mind on quite a stressful morning!

Madeleine was wonderful with our dog Luke. He's young, strong, and pulls quite a bit on the lead but she handled him beautifully, taking treats and a clicker to train him on the walks and taking him for long runs too to tire him out. He seemed really comfortable with her. Madeleine was really communicate and always on time. Very reliable and clearly an experienced dog walker. Her love of dogs was obvious, something Luke sensed right away. Could not recommend her more!

Madeleine took great care of the pets. They all seemed happy and well-fed and were visibly very comfortable around her. One of my shyer cats was cuddling up to her and purring, which she never does with strangers! She also kept me posted with photos (as requested) throughout the stay. Thanks you !! Would absolutely book again.
