“Valentia is excellent, very caring and attentive. Mila took to her so quickly and was settled in her care. She gave me great updates with photos and videos which put me at ease and I would 100% recommend her to care for your pet. ❤️”

About: I have many years of experience caring for and training dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I offer both short and long walks — calm or active — depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also comfortable caring for other animals such as cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds. I can give your pets different types of medication, except injections. I’ve had many animals throughout my life, but after moving to Oxford it became more difficult. Still, I found a way to stay connected with them. For the past few years, I’ve been visiting different homes and caring for a variety of animals — mostly dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I look after them for different lengths of time, from a few days to several months, and I also provide regular dog-walking services. Since I work partly online and partly study online, my schedule is very flexible. Animals have become an essential part of my daily life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Most of the time, my work takes place in the pet owner’s home. Depending on the situation, sometimes I simply arrive, pick up the dog, and take them for a walk. For others, I just need to let them out into the garden for a toilet break, make sure they have fresh water, and feed them. In some cases, I stay for a day, a night, or even a week, living in the owner’s home. During that time, I feed and care for the animals, take them for walks in parks, play with them, and give them medication when needed.
“Florin was very communicative, helpful, reliable and punctual. My cats loved her and I was relieved to know they were in such good hands! She kept me updated about everything I requested and sent me lots of lovely pictures :)”

“Elaine did a great job house-sitting for our 3 cats! All of them warmed to her quickly in the meet and greet, and they were all happy when we came back. Communication was excellent from start to finish, I would highly recommend booking with her!”

“Mylena is an absolutely fantastic dogsitter: I can’t recommend her highly enough! She’s responsive, kind, and took wonderful care of my chihuahua, Ruby. I felt very confident leaving Ruby with Mylena, knowing that she’d be really well cared for.”

About: I have had dogs as a part of my family since the age of 4 and so I am comfortable and enjoy meeting and walking different types of dogs. I am currently a student studying biochemistry and so my schedule changes on a weekly basis. However I am very flexible and happy to try my best to accommodate any needs for your pet! I am very careful, I keep a close eye when on walks or in the garden and ensure doors are shut when not in use. I am reliable and will feed and walk them at the desired time.

“Charlie came for a visit to meet Maxwell first, and that helped the drop in go well. He was attentive and updated us with photos and confirmation of what he got up to with our pup. Would use again.”

About: I have 23 years of experience living with cats and dogs (my whole life), and have been taking care of them myself since I was very little. I live right next to University Parks and will gladly take your dog on an outdoor adventure there or somewhere further away. I'm a postgraduate student coming from a home with 2 cats and 2 dogs (one older big one, one rambunctious little one) and greatly miss all of them. I'm a student, so my hours are mainly independent work besides a few ours of course meetings a week. I have a lot of experience doing academic work while caring for pets, and it is ideal because much of my work can be done from anywhere and on my own time. I cannot care for pets in my own home because I live in student accommodation, but I have extensive experience ensuring that cats do not get outside if this is not permitted, checking doors and windows to make sure they're safe (this also applies to dogs). I also have extensive experience keeping dogs close both on a leash and off.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up in a home where pets were part of the family. Over the years, I’ve had my own dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and quirks. I truly enjoy helping with basic dog training and always approach every pet with a gentle, patient, and caring attitude. When caring for a dog or cat, I make sure to follow the owner’s schedule and instructions closely, from feeding times to walks and play sessions. I love spending time cuddling, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve while their family is away. In the past 18 months, I’ve looked after around 10 dogs and cats, each with their own unique personality, and I treat every single one as if they were my own. Caring for pets fits perfectly into my daily routine. It means I can spend plenty of quality time with your dog or cat throughout the day, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m also flexible to travel to your home or any location you need, and I have my own car, making transportation easy and reliable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure their environment is secure, whether indoors or outdoors, and I’m careful to keep harmful items out of reach. During walks, I use safe routes and keep them on a leash unless instructed otherwise. I pay close attention to their behavior and health, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable space to rest, and a calm, stress-free atmosphere.
“Ralph had a great drop-in visit with our young puppy. He clearly loves dogs, was confident dealing with a lively young puppy, and I was very happy with the communication. Would definitely book Ralph again. Thanks!”

I’m currently a university student full time, however I am available full days on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am also available on weekdays from 6pm until midnight!

Amanda was an absolute pleasure. She has amazing communication skills, and constantly sent updates on my little bean throughout. I had to change the schedule a few times due to an unforeseen circumstance but she was super accommodating and really put my mind at ease. Will defo be booking in future 🤍✨

Valentina has been such an amazing petsitter! I have now made multiple bookings and Valentina went above and beyond to keep my cat, Luna happy. This made me feel comfortable to leave her as I know she will be well taken care of while I'm away. I also loved all the wonderful photos. I highly recommend Valentina!

Larissa took really excellent care of my ragdoll cats during the holiday period. She was reliable, responsive and flexible with our needs. She sent updates frequently and made sure to check in when unsure. Working with her was a pleasure and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter! :)

We were really pleased with Mae’s care for our 12 year old cat Jess while we were away. Communication with Mae via the app and text message was great. It was so reassuring to come home to a happy, relaxed cat. Would definitely recommend Mae to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter.
I asked Bethany to pop in to check the food and water and clean the litter for my cat while I was away for a few days. She was very friendly when she met me and my cat before I left and seemed very capable. Everything went very smoothly while I was gone, with her leaving comments and photos about her check-ins to keep me updated. Overall I was very happy, came home to a healthy and happy cat and I will definitely be booking Bethany again in the future.
Frances looked after our cats for 2 weeks. She took great care of them and was really friendly and sensible. We really appreciated the regular photo updates and Frances checking in when she had questions. And she was very kind to bring in parcels that were left on the doorstep. We would really recommend Frances to anyone needing a cat sitter!
Hello I’m absolutely blown away from Inês service. Don’t know where to start, I had a family emergency and Inês without any hesitation offered help and my cookie was so happy and safe with Inês. The best cat sitter I have ever head. 10/10 Thank you so much Inês for help and looking after
