Pet Sitting Oxford

“Dawn is fantastic! Very communicative with me and loving to our dog! I have used her as a fill in for drop-ins when my regular person is unavailable and I could not be happier. Gus is going to miss her and will be so happy when she helps me out again!!”

Carolyn H.

“Damacia is extremely kind, thorough and communicative. We had a last minute request and he over delivered! They followed instructions very well and provided lots of comforting updates.”

Soraya H.

“Meghan was great for drop-ins for our cats and guinea pigs while we were away for a week. Left photos, messages, the house was clean, everything you would expect. Would definitely recommend!”

David C.

“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”

About: I’ve provided pet care for various animals for many years. I have two energetic dogs and will care for your pet as if they were my own. I understand the importance of routine and your pet’s comfort, so will ensure that instructions are followed to the letter. I have the ability to work from home so can be flexible with drop-ins to meet your needs! My availability is updated regularly and can also work with you individually to figure out care that works for you. I can approach care in your home and walks however your pet is most used to, ensuring they feel comfortable and can stick to their routine. Also let me know if there is anything else I can help with while dropping in!

“Sidney is great with our puppy and was very accommodating to do a drop-in on short notice. Would recommend her to anyone looking for drop-ins and dog walks!”

“Erin was such a reliable and attentive cat sitter! I was relieved to see her details and specifics of the boys behavior with drop in visit notes. It helped me know my boys were in great hands. Thank you again Erin!!!!”

Rebekah C.

“Ann was terrific. Great communicator, punctual and lovely with our senior dogs who need medication. Can’t wait for her to come back again, soon!”

Elizabeth M.

“We had an excellent experience with Sydney! care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our cats while we were on vacation. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our cats were well cared for and comfortable. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Amanda S.

“Kyra did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was out of town. She even got my cranky old man cat to play a little bit with her which isn’t something just anyone manages! All three of my kitlets are quite the characters, and Kyra somehow captured their personalities in the photo updates she sent. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I have to be away from home.”

Jennifer Y.

“Fantastic cat sitting service provider. My cat came down with a sudden allergy just before I left on vacation. She was willing to apply medicine on him each day and provided updates and even drove to pick up a cat medicine that was mailed to the wrong address. She’s very nice and friendly and my skeptical cat warmed up to her quickly. Would absolutely recommend.”

Melissa B.

“Kayla was great, hung out and played with my cat and made sure everyone got fed & meds! She even washed the food plates instead of sticking them in the dishwasher. Thanks, Kayla!”

Katie O.

“Maggie took such great care of my kittens while I was away! The transparent communication--pictures, updates, videos, etc. was FABULOUS! They were in great hands with her! AND I would very much recommend to anyone in the area looking for the same level of care!”

Suzanne D.

“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”

About: I am a pediatric physical therapist looking to dogsit on weekends or walk dogs. Walking or running with your dog(s) will allow me to stay active, and I am sure your pup will thank you for it! I get off on Fridays at 11:30AM and am free until Sunday nights at 10:00PM. My experience is fairly eclectic. I have fostered dogs for Houlagan's Rest and BARKVa for the 4 years, and currently have 2 adopted dogs of my ow (both foster fails!): a sweet American Bulldog mix named Big Mama, and a Black and Tan Coonhound Mix named Dusty. Fostering has allowed me to work with breeds, ages, and learning abilities of all kinds. I have leash trained, potty trained, and been a medical foster for those who have just been spayed/neutered as well as other medical complications. I am very comfortable with dogs that have barrier/food/dog aggression, as well as anxiety. In addition to my fostering/owning my own pups, I raised both of my childhood dogs (cockapoos) from 8 weeks onward for my mother during my summer breaks. I have also babysat dogs for my friends and family throughout undergraduate school and grad school. I believe that your pup should feel comfortable, safe, and happy throughout their stay with me, so I request that we do a meet and greet before confirming to make sure that I can sufficiently meet you and your dog's needs 😊 I will also be able to stay in your home full-time as my husband will take care of my pups while I am away, so no need to worry about splitting time!!! I am available to dogsit from Fridays after 11:30 AM until Sundays at 10:00PM, and can dog walk on weekends! I typically am home near full-time with your pup, and do not like to leave more than 2-3 hour intervals max most often. When at your home, I am always certain to implement whatever rules you may have. I am experienced with crate training, and am also happy to take the pup on adventures (I often like to go to the farmers market and on long walks around the Richmond Trails.) I am also happy to lounge on the couch and snuggle if that's what they prefer!

“Ruby loves Allison! We appreciate her prompt communication and attention to detail. She brings in my packages, searches for missing treasure Ruby has buried in the yard. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League for over a year and have previous experience working at shelters and dog daycares. I've always loved caring for animals; I used to volunteer at the SPCA when I was younger and I have two dogs of my own that I enjoy taking on walks and playing fetch with in the backyard. I have a part-time job that I work 3-4 days a week (mostly evenings). Other than that, schedule is pretty flexible! I'm available throughout the week, as well as weekends. I'm more interested in drop-in visits and dog walking, but I'll be able to petsit for as long as you need with enough notice! For pet-sitting, I'll be able to stay and take care of your pets for as long as you need me to be there. I can stay all day and even overnight if needed, or just check in periodically throughout the day! I'll carefully follow instructions given on feeding, walks/exercise, morning and bedtime routines, medications, and just overall entertainment. I'm great with dogs of all kinds of energy, whether they want to be active all day long, or just snuggled up on the couch!
