House Sitting Oadby

“Jack was amazing, honestly couldn't rave about him enough. He was so good with our fur babies. We were not nervous about leaving them with him, even after we found out we were his first booking. We got updates both via text and on this app the whole time we were away. Jack went above and beyond to make our pets holiday away from us a good one. We will be using Jack again for sure.”

About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.

“Lewis did a great job of looking after our pets for a week. He made a point of arranging a second meet and greet to be sure Scully was comfortable with him, his communication was great and Scully clearly enjoyed her time with him. I think she's wondering where he went 😄”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and they’ve always been a big part of my family. I’m lucky to have three lovely spaniels of my own: Ralph and Rex, both 13, and Raymond, 5. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, safe and loved. I’d care for your animal just as I do my own, with plenty of affection, patience and cuddles. 🐾❤️ I’m currently unemployed as I have just got back from travelling, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for house sitting and dog walking throughout the week, and I can adapt to your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own. I have three spaniels of my own, so I’m very familiar with dogs and their needs. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep your pets safe, settled and loved in their own familiar surroundings

About: I grew up around dogs so they have always been a large part of my life. Along with my own, I often care for friends+family’s pets. I have experience with dogs of all ages - towards the end of his life, my senior dog was unable to use his back legs so he required special care and attention. Due to this, he also became incontinent so I am especially skilled with senior care. However, I am currently the owner of a pug puppy and so, I am perfectly capable of keeping up with the demands of an active puppy as well! As I am currently available all the time, he has my undivided attention, as will your dog also! I am available all the time which means constant love and care for your dog and plenty of playtime! I can also provide walks as often as needed. I have a large fenced garden which is perfect for playtime! I also have a friendly pug puppy who loves to play with other dogs and will be more than happy to share his toys & treats! There is plenty of space for your dog to run around, and also relax when it’s time to wind down. I have an aircon unit in my living room which has been very helpful in cooling the house down, especially during the high temperatures we’ve been having. I can also accommodate to any specific needs!

“Thank you so much to Jacqueline for looking after our dog Rocky so well. She came along to meet him prior to her booked sitting. Rocky took to her immediately as she has a lovely calm and friendly approach, and she was keen to understand Rocky”s routine. He was very excited to see her when she arrived for her stay over. Jacqueline kept us updated to his wellbeing and he was relaxed and happy. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline. Thanks again Gill”

“Maisie looked after my two dogs and cat in our home. One of my dogs has a tricky temperament and it is fairly challenging to manage her needs. Maisie was attentive to her needs and took amazing care of all of the animals and we returned to them happy and calm. I would recommend Maisie without hesitation.”

About: Hi, I’m Mark. I first started dog sitting as a youngster for my best friends two Lakeland Terriers. Gosh they were a handful! It was at that moment I fell in love with dogs and my bond with animals became forever present. Over the past 25 years I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with my three cats (Mercury, Coco and Pumpkin) who I greatly miss. Especially catching the often live presents they’d bring home on a daily basis! Then there are my two Dogs, Kasper, a beautiful Springer Spaniel who we had as a pup, and with full puppy training under my belt, we embarked on a 13 year journey of love, adventure, and care. Kasper sadly passed two years ago. We currently have Dylan, a Springer/Setter mix we met as a rescue 11 years ago and at 14 shows little sign of slowing down! Learning to care for a rescue dogs unique character, or raising a pup, knowing when to work, rest and play you’ll probably know isn’t always easy, and I’ve built loving and respectful relationships with all my pets. I’d really enjoy the opportunity to get to know your cats or dogs, to share in their journey and bring the same love and affection I have for my own. I’m fully committed to delivering care for your pets full time, and I’m available for booking 7 days a week (24/7 - all times considered). This includes all needs from drop ins, through to walks or overnight stays at your pets home. It’s key that your cat or dog continues to feel as comfortable as possible within their own space, and maintaining their routine including keeping them company, being present but allowing space, walk frequency, time and favourite routes, play and favourite toys as well as feeding time, treats and understanding what makes your pet tick is all essential and my priority.

“Rachel was excellent with Ralph. She sent me regular updates and is so loving and caring with him. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks Rachel!”

“Celeste took great care of our greyhound while we were out for the day. He was very comfortable around Celeste, and the house was just as tidy when we returned as we left it.”

“Clare has been amazing .. looking after the doggies so well, she has gone beyond expectations and kept us up to date all the time we were away. I would recommend her to anyone with no hesitation.”

About: When I was 10, I was introduced to a small Jack Russell cross Border Terrier called Evie. She was 12 days old and I fell utterly head over heels. Upon being told that she was going to be introduced to our family, I knew I had a friend for life and that's exactly how things have happened. Now 23, Evie has played a huge part in every aspect of my life, being present throughout my adolescence, supporting me with my mental health through my studies etc, and has provided a sense of joy and company through the dull lockdowns of 2020. I've grown up bathing her, grooming her, walking her and being all around a responsible owner. The relationship we share and that we've built is priceless. I work through the day and I'm looking to fill my evenings with a way of practicing mindfulness. I would be happy to take your lovely pets for a walk, or to look after them for a number of times a week. My Evie is my pride and joy and I have been responsible for looking after her and her health while she's grown up. I have also looked after my partners dog whilst her parents have been away to a standard whereby she did not want me to leave by the end of the fortnight.

“Meera was absolutely wonderful with our nervous rescue dog, Molly! We loved getting frequent updates, and it was clear from the photos that Molly felt completely safe and relaxed. We hope to book her again and highly recommend her.”

About: I have lots of experience - I have my own cocker spaniel which is my best friend, and I also care for the dogs of my family and friends.. so I know how to feed, walk, care for and play with them. For now I available all week so I can help any time, whenever you need... just send me a message and we can see what suits you 🤗🐶 I love to pay lots of attention to them and spend lots of time playing with them to assure they are healthy, safe and very happy <3

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who had no one. I have hands-on experience caring for 9–12 dogs daily, including feeding, walking, playing and providing basic medical care. In India, I was responsible for looking after stray dogs—ensuring they were safe, healthy, and never hungry. This taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different dog behaviours, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve handled: Daily walks and exercise routines Feeding schedules and hygiene care Basic medication and health monitoring Dogs with different temperaments and needs I truly love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Now based in UK, I’m excited to give the same level of care and dedication to your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate: Morning, afternoon, and evening walks Last-minute bookings Regular daily walks or long-term care I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can tell my own experience- Before relocating to the UK, I ensured that all the dogs I cared for were responsibly handed over to local authorities so they would continue receiving proper food, medical care, and protection. I take long-term responsibility seriously and always put the well-being of animals first.

About: I have owned a British Shorthair cat for 3 years and a Border Collie for another 3 years. I understand the care needs of both cats and high‑energy dogs. I am patient and reliable, I will strictly follow your pet’s daily routine, feeding and exercise requirements to keep them comfortable and happy I have flexible spare‑time every week. I can devote sufficient time to walk, feed and play with your pets. I am available both weekdays and weekends and will stick closely to your pet’s original daily schedule. My flat is quiet, clean and pet‑friendly. There are no hazards for cats or dogs inside. I will supervise pets closely and respect each pet’s personality. I will send regular photo updates so you can stay reassured.

About: I have been raised on a farm, with dogs, cats, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, one turtle and even a goat. I love all creatures small and big, except for spiders (terrified of them). Since I was little I took care of the animals mentioned above, I had dogs, cats and rabbits as my responsibility. I would ensure they are kept alive and well taken care of including, grooming, feeding and walking. I also occasionally help with my friend's dogs (pug and Yorkie), but they do not need me as much just for occasional walks and feed. I have recently pet sat for a Main Coon for a week, and I was responsible even for administering medication. I do not shy away from that and I am happy to learn if that is required. I would like to assure you that taking care of pets is not just sitting with them and keeping them fed and walked. It is much more for me. I believe that all pets need attention, and they need to be played with actively. I work full time, however, for three out of 5 days I work from home so I am able to look after your animal, including going for walks during lunch time. I also am happy to have your pet in my bedroom whilst I work. I am available over the weekends as well , and happy to help. I do not mind early mornings and late evenings either. I have a fenced garden in my house, so your fur baby can have plenty of space to run around. I am happy to follow any instructions given by pet owners when in their house so that their pet receives the best care. I do not deeply leave them to be (unless that is how they prefer to be) I like to play with pets and get their energy out if needed.

“Alex is lovely and the dogs thought so too! Great communication, punctual and professional, but also very caring with the hounds. Left the house immaculate too. We will definitely book with Alex again and can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Alex!”
