“We left our cat, Mito, with Stacey for 3 days and couldn’t be more happy with how it went! She sent us very frequent updates and photos of his time with her, and both her and her cat bonded with him. We will definitely rebook with Stacey in the future! :)”

“Cameron was brilliant! She was calm about my dog's grumpiness with her dog. She was patient and kind with my old lurcher's sensitivities and I he came out of his shell. I knew he'd had a good time with her as he was bouncy and sociable when I picked him up. We'll be back!”


About: I’ve grown up with cats and other animals and my family got a border collie during lockdown , so I’m used to high-energy dogs and strong personalities. I’m calm, reliable, and happy to follow your pet’s routine whether that’s walks, feeding, or just keeping them company. Im currently a student at Sussex University but im back in Oxford for the summer with a very flexible schedule able to fit to pretty much any routine. I take care to follow instructions closely and keep things calm and predictable for your pet. Whether at mine or yours, I make sure the environment is safe, quiet, and low-stress

“Jemima was wonderful with our two dogs who she looked after for an overnight stay. She was very understanding when one of our dogs unexpectedly came into heat while she was with Jemima. I would highly recommend Jemima.”


“Liubov and her Partner were great with Suzie! We had so many photo updates which we love. Suzie clearly had a great time. Liubov is really lovely, easy to communicate with and we will definitely be using her again in the future 😊”


“Vivian was able to look after Roxy at short notice which was a huge help, and I’m so glad she could because her and Mark were both great with Roxy, snuggles and walks which I was updated with while I was away. Thank you both.”


“Very nice couple who have a home geared towards dogs. Their permanent resident pets were friendly towards our dog and he clearly felt welcomed. Picked him up the next day, no issues or nervous behaviour. It’s really good to know this service is available, we booked this overnight stay as a test-run before a longer visit at new year, and it was a success.”


“Hugo had such a great time with Kylie, Chris and their family. Thank you for spoiling him so much! He was definitely sad to say goodbye! Would highly recommend this beautiful family to others!”


“Fedra looked after Jasper for two nights. He has never been left with someone he does not know before. We met up prior to Jaspers stay and he was more than happy to go for a short walk with Fedra. This put us at ease straight away. I know Jasper had a good time as when we picked him up he looked so relaxed and happy I would not hesitate to use Fedra again, Jasper was so well looked after.Thank you Fedra for making Jaspers feel at home.”


About: Sam and I grew up in animal loving homes and have ensured our home now includes animals at its centre. We have Jasper, our one year old cockapoo, sibling cats, Rosie and Jim, and have welcomed other small creatures over the years, such as Alan the elderly guinea pig. We regularly take care of friends animals - from dalmatians to sausage dogs, and cats to rabbits. We look after them in our home and will visit them in theirs. I also groom Jasper - bathing and cutting his hair. We both work from home so any animals in our care won't be alone. We walk Jasper twice a day - always to fields, woods, and open spaces - and longer walks at the weekend. We have a fully secure garden with high fences and walls. Jasper will be here to keep your pup company. Jasper has his own room downstairs in our house so there is a quiet space for him to rest and also be safe if we need to pop out. We have lots of toys and games, even a ball pit and little pool for hot days.
