House Sitting Cherwell

“I was very happy with Isabel's first day dog sitting my dog. He is an older dog and a bit needy these days after a leg injury. He took to Isabel and Ben straight away when they came to meet him and I felt confident leaving him with Isabel. I have re-booked and hope to do more with them. Isabel kept me informed during the day, and when I returned my dog was snuggled up beside her! Good friends. Thank you Isabel.”

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs mostly those of family and close friends, building trust and deep bonds along the way. I’ve loved animals since I was very young, and nothing makes me happier than seeing them joyful and well cared for! I’m always free on the weekends and Mondays I have a dog so very active life! Hope I can help you with your best friend! Fenced yard, and they will never be left alone for long periods! My dog has a lot of energy so yours will be very happy!

About: I have a remote job for a tech company which means that your dog will never be left alone and can go outside or play with me whenever they like. I can easily adapt when I walk them based on their usual routines from early mornings till late evening, as well as multiple times a day. I want to dog sit mainly because I work remotely, my partner Alex works full time in Rugby so most of the day I am alone so I would adore some dog company! I would one day love to have a dog of my own, but as I have recently finished my Masters degree, started my career and bought a house that is still a few years away. My family dog Amber lives with my parents so I miss her terribly! Every dog I would look after would get the same love and care I would give her. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s family’s three Jack Russels, and having grown up in a village full of dogs who we often looked after growing up, I am very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels including the really high energy ones. My home is in a quiet village with a fully dog proofed garden (chicken wire has been nailed to the open fence) that overlooks the fields. There is a dog park opposite where the dog can also be let of the lead for a good run around, as well as lots of good walks nearby. Even though I am new to this app I am setting my years of experience to when my family first got Amber which was 10 years ago as I have been looking after her so much in that time, as well as looking after different dogs in the village for either the day or for a week at a time. As I work remotely I can take my breaks and lunch whenever is needed for your dog. I am up early morning a few hours before work if they need a good walk in there as well. I have a fenced garden and can keep watch of them at all times to make sure they are safe and happy. I can adapt their living based on what they have at home: I can put a baby gate up if they are usually not allowed upstairs, or allow them or not onto furniture depending on your preferences as well. I also have a dog seatbelt for the car if they prefer to go to a certain park or need to be driven anywhere for any reason.

“River took great care of my dog, Amber—I hope they both had a lovely day together. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates that really put my mind at ease. River was also very accommodating, happily staying longer than planned when my day unexpectedly ran over. Thank you!”

“Very friendly, great updates, my dog and cat loved Rowan. Even my cat who is very selective wanted to spend time with them. Fed, and cared for really well. 5*”

“Nicki was fabulous! Finn had a great time with her. She sent us a daily update of their adventures across the stay. She was also a great house sitter and kindly watered our garden and left the house spotless. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire. I can look after senior dogs and can administer medication. My schedule can be quite flexible however I am dipping in and out of shifts and different places. I am however mostly available. I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 1 year old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

“Rosie always has a wonderful day with Lisa and her partner - she’s always delighted to see them! Daytime sit for nearly six hours while we went out for the day. Thanks guys! Will definitely be rebooking soon 😊”

“Mandakini made sure to visit us and our pets in advance of the house sit. She is instantly likeable and I had zero doubts about leaving her to our house and animals. I was able to relax completely on our weekend, confident that the pets were in safe and cheerful hands. The photos were a nice bonus.”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs, horses and other animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I currently have one dog of my own who will come with me for overnight stays and will be at my house if I am looking after your pooch. I work from home most days, which means plenty of company and attention for your dog. I’m lucky to have countryside walks just minutes away, plus a secure garden for safe playtime. I’m experienced with all varieties - from lively puppies to gentle seniors, and I’m comfortable with administering medication and sticking to special diets! I have been pet sitting alongside my day to day job for 10 years now and can provide references. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I can adjust my routine to fit theirs! You’ll get daily photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having. The only thing I ask is that they are friendly with my pooch. I currently work full time, mainly from home other than 5 hours on a Tuesday. I can amend my routine to fit around dogs needs. I can do day boarding and overnight boarding but my own dog will be here with me. I have a fenced garden, many walks straight from my doorstep. I have a dog of my own here and my neighbours do have dogs on the other side of the fence, so just something to think about if you have a highly reactive doggo! Dogs are allowed on the furniture but if you prefer dogs to be crated whilst I’m out - usually only short burst to pop to the shop, I do have small crates from when mine was a pup. For larger dogs you would need to provide the crate.

“Lovely guy, very calm & pleasant. Met Tim prior to him staying which we really liked. Truffle seemed to take well to him too. Left the house nice & clean & didn’t feel we worried at all during our weekend away. Thank you Tim :)”

About: I have had pets of all sorts all my life. Having three dogs most my life, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, horses and chickens. During my time at university I was a dog walker amongst other things for a company called good dog walking alongside rover, so I have lots of experience with all sorts of different dogs. From a young age I have always been super interested in looking after pets, I used to enter my dogs into dog shows in my village and around my village and have even competed some other peoples dogs. I am very comfortable with all sorts of different animals, this includes feeding, cleaning, mucking out, brushing etc.. From a young age I have competed with horses, participating in pony club camp, where I learnt proper mucking out and horse care. As I have got a older I have done a fair few jobs relating to animals, in particular dog sitting with my own dogs aswell as other peoples. I am good at getting up early to let the dogs out in the morning and film them and I am comfortable with all ages of dogs. I am comfortable with giving dogs required medication and I also have experience in worming cats, dogs and horses. The dogs and cats on my profile are at my family home, not where I am currently. I am currently a university student looking to earn some extra money doing something I truly love, hanging out with animals.

There is a small fenced garden out of the front of the house I live in currently. The area I live in is surrounded by many parks which are easily accessible to walk dogs in.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was little. My first interaction with a dog was when my uncle brought home an adorable Labrador puppy called Charlie and been a dog lover ever since then. In more recent year myself and my partner have looked after multiple dogs of borrow my doggie and really enjoyed helping out. I work for a children’s charity, and work from home 4 days a week. I usually go for a shorter walk in the mornings and at lunch time and then after I clock off from work I will go out for an hour or so. Plenty of opportunities to get out and about. We live in the countryside with a large fenced garden. When having dogs stay before they often love exploring the smells and pond in the garden. If staying at your house we will adapt to your routines and expectations of the dog.

“Really appreciated Matthew making himself available at extremely short notice in a situation in which we were dealing with family illness. It was hugely appreciated.”

About: I'm a pet parent myself, so | really understand that worry of "Will they feel lonely, and will they get the same love and attention they get at home?" When a dog stays with me, they're not just "looked after" they're included in everyday home life, given plenty of company, and cared for properly, with affection and reassurance as well as routine. I offer dog boarding in my home, where I live with my two friendly dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Jack Russell). I'm used to different personalities and energy levels, and I can accommodate dogs up to Golden Retriever size. I always prefer a pre-meet walk before a first stay so introductions feel calm and positive and everyone can start off on the right foot. Dogs in my care get daily walks, plus plenty of attention and interaction throughout the day. There's nearly always someone at home, and if we do need to pop out it's only for short periods. I don't leave dogs together unsupervised, and I use Ring cameras to check in whenever I'm out. I’ll follow your dog's routine closely and send regular photo/video updates, so you can relax knowing they're safe, settled, and getting lots of love. Alongside dog boarding, I also offer cat drop-in visits in your home. I have 25 years' experience with cats, I'm pet first aid trained, and I'm confident administering medication for cats or dogs it needed.

About: In a rehabilitative setting I am experienced in handling dogs with extensive needs, such as post surgery, senior care, and behavioural challenges due to injury/conditions. Whether your dog be nervous of new people, need to stay calm post surgery or require extra help with small tasks I am equipped with the knowledge to help! I’m currently working full time, with a springer spaniel and greyhound mix who keep me busy during the week. I offer weekend overnight stays/weekend walks around my Monday to Friday job. I care for your dogs in your own home, meaning they are in an environment they know and will have my undivided attention during each visit.

About: Hi, I’m Skye! I’ve been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I have experience looking after dogs and cats for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, quiet cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I’ll provide patient and attentive care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet sitting. During visits I can feed pets, refresh water, administer basic oral medication if required, provide plenty of play and enrichment, clean litter trays or garden mess, and send regular photo and video updates so you know your pet is doing well. I work full-time during weekdays, (7:30-6in Bicester) so I’m available in the evenings, before work, weekends, and on many bank holidays. I’ll always be honest about my availability and will only accept bookings that allow me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I work full-time during the day (7:30-6pm in Bicester) , so I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits and pet care after work on weekdays, as well as weekends. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise and care they need. I’m reliable, punctual and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, walking routines and any special requirements. I take the time to build trust with every pet, provide plenty of affection and enrichment, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve had a genuine passion for animals for as long as I can remember. From a very young age, I’ve cared for my own pets and developed a strong understanding of different species and their needs. That early love grew into real knowledge: I studied agriculture and horticulture at school, and I even completed a practical course at a zoo, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals. This combination of lifelong passion, formal education, and real-world experience is what truly sets me apart. I bring not only reliable care but a deep respect for animal wellbeing and a thoughtful, knowledgeable approach to every pet I look after. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my lifestyle. My partner works from home, and I am home from Saturday to Monday, giving us a flexible schedule to meet the needs of any animal. We live surrounded by beautiful countryside, which means there are plenty of safe, scenic places for walks, playtime, and exploring. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, or just spending quality time with your pet, we can provide consistent, attentive care while making sure every animal enjoys a happy, enriching environment. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or yours. In a pet owner’s home, I follow your routines closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions — while giving pets companionship and attention to make them feel comfortable and secure. If pets stay with me, they enjoy a calm, safe environment with access to our fully fenced garden, perfect for supervised play and outdoor exploration. Surrounded by the beautiful countryside, I can take them on walks, explore new sights and smells, and ensure they get plenty of stimulation in a safe, controlled way. I can also crate pets if requested, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable according to their usual routine.

“Looked after kev well. Gave lots of updates and pics. Would book again!”
