House Sitting in Cherwell

“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!”

“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 have owned 2 dogs, 20 rabbits and 3 Russian dwarf hamsters (household) growing up. I even have experience with goats, chickens, cows in my family’s farm. I have grown up to love and respect animals by handling them with care, educating myself about them and their environment and recognised their needs and individuality. I am able to keep my dog occupied despite the weather being gloomy. I walk my dog once or twice a day as this would also benefit my physical health, working on my cardio. I even listen to podcasts to support my learning ability for my education. I go over tricks with my dog and even teach her new ones too! She’s quite a lazy dog and loves to sleep a lot so I give her some time to relax after long days.

“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 :)”

“Lisa took great care of our little JRT Rosie for a couple of hours in the evening in our home. From the photos she kindly sent, Rosie was super chilled-out and relaxed! We have already booked two more sits including a two-night stay, so obviously very keen to use her services again!”

“Caitlin is a fabulous dog sitter! I was very nervous about leaving Stan as it was the longest we’ve been away without him, and he isn’t the easiest dog. Caitlin put my mind at ease, has looked after Stan beautifully and sends regular updates of all the fun they’re having. Caitlin is very responsible and I really trust her with Stan. Thanks so much for all of your help x”

We felt comfortable leaving the girls with kate she's very calm and down to earth which put both me and the girls at ease. We had regular updates and came home to 2 happy pooches and a tidy home. Thanks again.”

About: I have looked after people's animals for as long as I can remember. Feeding them, walking them, changing their bedding when needed :) I will love your animals like I love my own! At home I have 6 cats called Mom Cat, Polo, Tom, Pudge, Madam Paws and Sushi Roll! I also have 4 snakes called Milkshake, Mr.Slithers, Girly teen girl and Ghost! I have always had animals in the house and can't wait to meet yours 🥰 I am currently home educating my daughter which means I can be available for you and your furry family night and day :) just let me know! I will make sure your animals are always safe and secure with me. I am happy to take them on walks, feed them or even just sit and give them some company.

“Would highly recommend Jane, she did a brilliant job looking after our house and dog , Bea for five weeks . We received regular updates and pictures which made it very clear Bea was enjoying lots of lovely walks and very happy spending time with Jane at home. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we got back and Bea looked amazing. We have already booked her for our next holiday.”

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.

“Helen cane and met Rufus well in advance to make sure she she was aware of what I needed and that she and Rufus were a good fit. She communicated clearly throughout. She arrived promptly before we left for our holiday and was super helpful. We had regular updates throughout the holiday and Rufus was well cared for. At the end of her time while we were returning Helen had an emergency but informed us immediately and left her daughters to care for Rufus in her absence ( also Rover sitters and had already met him). Our home was immaculate on our return and Rufus happy and non stressed.”

About: Having owned my own dogs since childhood and cats in the last 20 years I am well versed in caring for them. I have owned a mini menagerie of animals with my own children as well as offering support to my local community to take care of dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, hedgehogs, birds and the odd rescued creature. I am a part time student (mature) and so am at home most days during the week and weekends are certainly negotiable. I am able to base myself at another home if that suits both parties better. I love having dogs and animals in my orbit as I go for walks, enjoy snuggles and "chats" and pootling around with them - in between essay writing! I have a fenced garden and it is secure. I recently lost my labradoodle to old age sadly but I still have a cat, rats and am currently overwintering a hedgehog. I am equally happy to discuss staying at a clients home if that suits both our needs better.

About: Hi! I’m Theo. I grew up on a rural estate, surrounded by various animals and our family’s beloved dogs (maltese - Bijoux & dalmatian mix - Peti amongst others, big and small). Animals hold a special place in my heart and always have, since. Thanks to this I have come to understand how dogs communicate, their needs, and how to care for them with the love and attention they all so deserve. Fun facts about me: I speak 3 languages fluently (Romanian, English, Korean); I do photography on the side (my biggest hobby); I am a certified English teacher, and I am studying law! Weekdays: after 3pm Weekends: all day Nevertheless, please feel free to just get in touch! I might just be available at other times depending on the day and week. I live in a ground-floor bungalow flat, with a fenced garden and close proximity to verdant, wide meadows! I live with my wife (both of us non-smokers) in a modern, clean property.

“Veja looked after our 4 year old and 11month old labradors for 5 days.We will definitely go back to her again.Our dogs were so happy and relaxed when we collected them and we could see from the pictures Veja sent while we were away that they were very happy on walks and at her home. Veja and her partner very obviously both enjoy caring for dogs and were very quick at replying to all messages.”

“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.”

“Can’t thank Kimberly enough! It’s first time I’ve left my dogs in boarding. Kimberly knew I was struggling a little and not only reassured me but also did a wonderful job of keeping me updated with their adventures during their stay. 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 2 month old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

“Absolutely delightful and highly recommend for doggy and house sitting!”

“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: I love animals and from a young age, I was lucky enough to have dogs, cats, horses, chickens and hamsters. As an adult I have always had a dog and a cat and so I have experience of new puppies /kittens through to elderly animals. Over the years I have also looked after neighbours, friends and family pets during holidays. Finally after many years of wanting/ thinking and deliberating..I took the plunge and since April 2024 I have been working as a full time professional dog walker. My dream job! I also hold an clean DBS check, Pet business insurance and canine first aid. My Facebook page is leaps.and.leads. I am a self employed dog walker, available for regular dog walks, either one to one or with my dog Badger - a very friendly Springador (springer x lab). I am also available for pop ins and cat care and house sitting from Fri afternoons over the weekends. Whatever your requirements please just ask. We live on the edge of a village overlooking open fields with beautiful walks on the doorstep. We have one dog and 4 cats. 6 children, a nannie and a grandad. So its quite a busy home with lots of attention givers ! Obviously, coming in to your home I will be respectful and clean up any accidents, change litter, feed, water etc.
