“Another lovely stay for Fred. And great arrangements, always responsive and kind. Thank you all, looking forward to seeing you again at the end of the year!”


2. Andre F.

“Andre was a great host. Super friendly and easy going. It was clear that Freddie had a great time. I received regular updates and photos. Will definitely be using these guys again :)”


3. Alison Weyen M.

“Alison looked after my 2 basset hounds for a day yesterday and we were very impressed. She was responsive from the start, understood the breed, arranged a meet and greet beforehand and generally treated them like kings! They’ve been asleep pretty much since so I’m guessing they were well exercised too!”


4. Lisa L.

“I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. Have used her twice now and the second time I took my dog to her he jumped out the car and ran to her door. Lisa even picked Capone up for me on our first visit as we had an early flight. Lisa is kind, great communicator and very clearly AMAZING with dogs. Absolutely brilliant find x”

7. Gonçalo B.

“Really trustworthy guy, caring and attentive. My dog has allergies and separation anxiety, and I was reassured with updates about how Thanos was doing! Thanos was well and very happy when I picked him up, would recommend!”


8. Stacey T.

“Our cat went to stay with Stacey for a week, she did a wonderful job of taking care of him, even went out of her way to get him to eat when he decided not too. We got sent some pictures which put our minds at ease. We will definitely use Stacey in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


9. Jullieanna M.

“Julieanna was very kind and gentle with our elderly anxious labradoodle. She cared for him while we were on holiday and on our return he was healthy, calm and clearly well looked after. I would happy leave him with her and Miko again”


10. Caroline S.
About: I’ve grown up with 2 lovely golden retrievers (now ages 13 and 6) and I’d love to look after a dog before my husband and I can get one of our own. We have a beautiful community reserve 5 minutes away from our house and a small garden too. My husband Jacob and I have jobs with regular hours, and would love to care for dogs on the weekends and evenings. I am a teacher and can be home from mid afternoon on weekdays. We have a fenced back garden and a community reserve 5 minutes away. Our neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. We can crate your dog if needed, but we are looking forward to plenty of walks and playtime too!


11. Sara R.

“Sara and her family took amazing care of Dolly! It was the first time Dolly stayed with Sara, so like many owners you are always a little nervous about leaving your dog with someone new… but Sara made sure we had regular updates and asked all the right questions so I knew Dolly was in good hands! No doubt Dolly will be going back for more stays in the future! Thanks again!!!”


12. Axelle J.

“Louis really loved his stay with Axelle, David and their beautiful dog Jango. We received lots of pictures of the two dogs playing together and we couldn’t have been more reassured that Louis was in safe hands. Their home has an amazingly long fenced/ secure garden that Louis clearly loved! Axelle was keen to learn all about Louis and his eating /walk times etc to make sure he was well looked after. Would highly recommend and will be re-booking soon!”


13. Ewelina S.

“Took Lilo, my little whippet here for a stay and she had the best of stays! Entertained throughout and has gained a new friend in Butters Will definitely use them again in the future”


14. Kylie P.

“Juno had a lovely time with Kylie, Chris and family and clearly enjoyed plenty of attention! We feel very comfortable about leaving her with them again. Many thanks”


15. Becca R.

“Becca is a lovely young woman who took good care of my dog. It was a first for me and I was pleased to receive videos throughout the time my dog was with her. I will definitively go back to Becca, as I completely trust her and my dog seems happy with her too!”


16. Laura H.

“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.”
17. Adam F.

“Charlie had a great time at his stay with Adam which was originally for one night but because of flight delays it was extended a night. Adam responded quickly, was flexible and accommodating and made the stressful situation a lot better knowing Charlie was being well looked after! Definitely recommend!”


18. Jodie H.

“Jodie looked after our German Pointer for 2 weeks and we would definitely recommend her services. She sent us regular updates and pictures throughout the 2 weeks, which were very reassuring and showed she was enjoying her time with Jodie. We would not hesitate to leave our dog with Jodie in the future as she is an experienced dog owner and offers personalised care. Thank you Jodie!”


19. Jemima C.

“Jemima took amazing care of our babies! Thank you so much!”


20. Haichen H.
About: I have a lovely Teddie called cici and she is 10years old now. I have taken care of her since high school from the very start when she came, walking, bathing… you name it. I just missed her so hard because I have to pursue a Dphil here. My lab is on Headington Hill and I live near city center, so I’d love to bring dogs playing in South Park and University Park! As a Dphil student in Medicine, I am available for walking or boarding all weekends! Even in the earliest hours! Weekday nights are also available 🥳 I don’t have a dog here at Oxford so I will be fully devoted to your lovely dog. I know how to take care of them, how to calm them down and get well with them!
