House Sitting Oswestry

About: My childhood home was always filled with pets particularly dogs. I have had 2 springer spaniels myself and occasionally look after my son's and my friends dogs. I am a retired nurse and currently need a job that will keep me close to home. My husband is at home also and is a dog lover too .The dog would need to be comfortable with a man in the house however my husband will not be involved in the care of your pet. Any dog coming to our home would need to be used to children as I have a 6 year old granddaughter who visits regularly. I have a fenced garden which is safe for up to a Labrador size dog.. I have a stair gate if needed and room for a dog crate although don't own one myself.

“Katie was completely amazing with both us and our pampered pooch www 🐾. We were attending a wedding in a completely unknown area and were down last minute by a local kennels I’d had booked back in April . I’d used Rover.com earlier in july in a completely different part of the uk so immediately searched for dog sitters - Katie was available and came to our Airbnb to look after him with only 48 hrs notice . She was fabulous and he loved her . We had pictures and messages all through the day and evening . Thank you Katie - completely appreciate you H&M& WwW”

“Great experience with Joanna, Betty was well cared for. We received photos of betty while we were away. She was taken on plenty of walks. Joanna had a good relationship with betty and us. Trust worthy. House was left clean and tidy, with a plate of ' welcome home cakes'. We would certainly have Joanna to take good care of betty again 😀”

I treat every animal with kindness, patience and respect, caring for them as if they were my own. I am also committed to developing my knowledge and skills by undertaking a diploma in animal care.

This can be for a an hour, a couple of hours a whole day or staying over while you are away.

From feeding and grooming to specialized nutrition, training, and even assisting in home births—I’ve seen (and handled) it all. Whether your pup needs a gentle stroll, extra TLC during recovery, or high-energy playtime, I bring calm, capable care to every visit. Let your dog feel safe, happy, and loved—even when you're away. I also currently have an 1 year old Labrador puppy , and he loves meeting new friends . Our home has a huge & secure garden to relax in through the day !

My partner works in the day and has evenings free , he’s also a dog lover and is more than happy to help me take care of your pups . Our home is cosy and dog friendly. We don’t mind a good couch cuddle . We also have a huge , fenced and secure back garden .

About: I have experience contributing to the raising, training and caring for 11 dogs over the course of growing up on my family farm. This includes training Border Collie puppies to be working sheep dogs, crate training a terrier and a cocker spaniel as well as senior care to many of our dogs. Although I do not currently have a dog of my own at my flat, I feel my experience and background positions me well to be an effective and reliable dog sitter. I have a full time job working from home. I am a project manager at a web development agency. This gives me a great amount of flexibility during the day. Currently I work from 8am-4pm but I can sometimes start earlier or finish later depending on a few different factors. Every day after work I go for a walk on the canal which is less and a minute away from my front door. This is an ideal place to take your dog for a walks during the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for dogs in my home. I have created a comfortable, secure, and pet-friendly environment, ensuring that each dog has a designated space to rest and play. I always keep hazardous items out of reach and maintain a clean, organised space to prevent accidents. Dogs in my care are supervised at all times, whether indoors or during outdoor activities, and I follow owners' specific instructions to maintain their dogs' routines and comfort. With my full-time work-from-home job, I'm always available to give the dogs the attention and care they need and deserve.

“Lisa stepped in at very short notice to dog sit. My dogs immediately took to her and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her. Lisa was very professional and I would definitely recommend her.”

“Sam has done an excellent job of looking after Rumble at my home for 3 days. He has left everything clean and tidy, as well as successfully walking and entertaining my crazy dog!!”

“We were hesitant for a long while to get a dog sitter, as our dog has a nervous disposition after multiple hip surgeries from a young age, and the health issues that comes with that. Feel incredibly lucky to have came across Becky. She's great with our dog, who is incredibly excited whenever she comes over. And is a great weight off our minds to be leaving him with someone we trust so implicity. Could not recommend Becky more!”

About: I have a genuine love for animals, particularly dogs, and have always enjoyed spending time with them. My experience includes having dogs in the family since when I was a child, looking after friends and family members dogs when they go on holiday and caring for my own dog, an XL bully called Caesar. This experience has instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility and a commitment to providing the best possible care for dogs in my care. My career is within the NHS and I work as an District Nurse, when I go to people's houses and they have dogs it always makes the visit more fun as I get to spend an extra 5 minutes playing with them before leaving. Considering my passion and experience with dogs, I believe it makes me one of the best choices to look after your dog on their daily walk. I work full time as a community nurse; I am available in early mornings and afternoons/evenings for walks. I occasionally have days off in the week of which I’d be available throughout the day. I will update my schedule weekly I have a fenced garden however I will not be doing overnight stays in my house as my dog isn’t keen on other dogs. I am available for drop ins and walks.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I currently have my own Goldendoodle, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve also gained lots of hands-on experience looking after family dogs, and I’m someone people regularly rely on for walks, feeding, and overnight care—so I’m confident with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve completed accredited Dog First Aid, CPR and Grooming training, so your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pets usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I work full time during the week, so I focus my services on evenings and weekends where I can give your pets my full attention. I offer evening walks, weekend walks, and weekend sitting. During school holidays and half terms, I can also be more flexible with my availability. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s getting out for a fun walk, playing games, or just giving them plenty of love and company. I’ll always treat your pet like one of my own 😊 I work full time during the week but am available for dog walks after work and throughout the weekends. I can also offer sitting in the afternoons and boarding at my home on weekends. During the school summer holidays I have a more flexible schedule and can offer additional availability. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have my own friendly and playful Goldendoodle who absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys having company. I always make sure dogs are supervised and comfortable in their environment so they feel relaxed and at home while staying with me.

“Seren was absolutely wonderful! She was great with our very lively and excitable pup. We booked her while on holiday in wales to puppy sit while we were at an event. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would certainly book her again if we were ever in the area!”

Ellie B.

“Tarrah was great. Would highly recommend. She immediately created a rapport with the dogs and wanted to get to know their personalities. She took them on long walks and kept us well informed with lots of photos. Also took good care of our rabbits.”

Martin S.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Ayeisha. She stayed in our home for a week looking after our two Cockapoos while we were on holiday, and from start to finish she was absolutely amazing. The dogs adored her, and it was so clear from the regular, detailed updates and photos that they were happy, relaxed and having the best time. Ayeisha went above and beyond to keep them entertained with games, enrichment and plenty of treats. She also walked them multiple times a day, making sure they got plenty of exercise while keeping their routine as normal as possible, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for. We were especially worried as it was during a heatwave, but Ayeisha exceeded all of our expectations. She did everything possible to keep the dogs cool and comfortable, adjusting walks when needed, and regularly sent reassuring messages letting us know how they were coping. It meant we could actually relax and enjoy our holiday without worrying. Ayeisha was incredibly professional throughout and treated both our dogs and our home with so much care and respect. We came home to two very happy dogs and an immaculate house—it genuinely looked as though nobody had been there! She really was the perfect pet sitter to have in our home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and reliable. We’ve already rebooked her for September and can’t wait to have her back!”

“Bridie was great and we’re so happy to have found her! Our dogs (and cats) were well looked after and they seemed chilled when we got back. There were no problems and Bridie is very friendly.”
