Dog Walking Oxford

“Jackie was amazing as we had to do a lot of coordination to walk Charles while I was visiting Oxford for a part. It all worked well and smoothly though Charles missed me ! It was great to get the walk and care from Jackie”

“Thank you! Yevhenii was able to accommodate a last minute dog sitting need. Professional, timely, kind, experienced, and an overall good guy. 10/10 recommend =]”

About: ***Note: actively seeking sits for first two weeks of August 2026, daytime or overnight*** My mum is a veterinary nurse so growing up we were often caring for strays and I've felt compassion for animals since a young age. I've done pet-sitting through a similar site for the last 5 years and loved it! I do work full-time, so on weekdays am only available in the evenings, but am often free weekends and happy to accommodate the pet's needs to best of my ability! I have no other pets at home, though our garden fence is in need of repairs, so any outside use would have to be on a leash. When in other people's homes I am very tidy and respectful of the space and will leave the house at least as clean as I found it.

About: My husband Yevhenii and I have extensive experience in caring for cats and dogs (of any size). We often look after animals and have a client base, but we also have a lot of time to get to know new lovely pets. In our experience, we have looked after both one cat/dog and 7 dogs at the same time. Rest assured, we are not afraid of anything! We have lived in Oxford for 4years and have been sitting/feeding/playing/walking pets all this time. Please contact us - our love for beautiful creatures is very great and we will surround your pets with care. We are available almost all the time for you. Sometimes we do pets sitting separately with my husband Yechenii. His contact is added to my profile. We always vote to stay together with sleepovers/play with pets but we can do it separately. In the house where we live it is forbidden to have pets, so we can walk/look after/play with/feed pets only in your house, but with great love and care.

About: I’m a proud dog owner with a lovely and friendly Golden Retriever of my own. We’ve attended professional dog training classes together, and I spend a lot of time socialising with other dogs and dog owners, so I’m very comfortable around different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also cared for cats in my home country and previously helped rescue stray dogs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness and care. I’m responsible, attentive and always want pets to feel safe, relaxed and happy while they’re with me. * 🐶 Dog owner with a friendly Golden Retriever * 🎓 Experience with professional dog training classes * 🐾 Regularly socialise with other dogs and dog owners * 🌿 Large private garden * 🏡 Quiet, safe and pet-friendly neighbourhood * 🐱 Previous cat owner * ❤️ Experience helping rescue stray dogs * 😊 Patient, caring and empathetic * ✅ Responsible and attentive * 📸 Happy to send regular photo updates Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking breaks to go for walks, and I’m always happy to bring a dog along for some fresh air and exercise. Because I’m home often, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I can easily stick to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I live in a clean, tidy, and calm home with only my partner and me. We are both non-smokers and non-drinkers, so the environment is quiet, stable, and safe for pets to relax in. Caring for animals fits into my lifestyle in a very natural way — I truly enjoy having pets around and making them feel comfortable, loved, and part of the home. When pets stay with me, they become part of a calm, loving home environment. I live in a spacious house with a large, fully fenced garden (about 200 m²), giving dogs plenty of safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air under supervision. Inside, the home is clean, quiet, and safe, and since I work from home most of the time, pets get lots of attention and are rarely left alone for long periods.

About: I’m a responsible and adaptable 20-year-old with a genuine love for animals, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand the daily commitment, patience, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. I’ve also grown up in the countryside, which means long dog walks, outdoor adventures, and hands-on animal care have always been a natural part of my routine. I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether it’s active walks, feeding routines, playtime, or simply providing company and reassurance while owners are away, I take pride in making pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m very reliable and respectful of other people’s homes, and I always aim to follow routines exactly as requested to keep pets settled and stress-free. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine as I already care for and walk my own two dogs. I am used to early morning walks, regular feeding schedules, playtime, and evening exercise. I enjoy being active outdoors, so dog walking and companionship are things I genuinely look forward to. I am flexible with my time and can adapt to specific routines to suit each pet’s needs and maintain consistency. I prioritise creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and behaviour routines. In an owner’s home, I respect their space and maintain pets’ usual schedules to reduce stress. I stay attentive during walks, ensure secure environments, and provide plenty of supervision, affection, and reassurance to help pets feel relaxed and safe.

About: I’m a qualified veterinarian with 3 years of pet-sitting experience, caring for dogs from 4 different families during the summer. My veterinary background means I understand animal behaviour, health and individual needs. I’m responsible, patient and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medication and playtime. I’m currently a student and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time to care for pets. I’m flexible during the week and available for walks, house sitting and boarding, including weekends and evenings. I always prioritise your pet’s safety, comfort and routine. I have several years of pet-sitting experience with dogs and cats, and I’m also a veterinary medicine graduate. I’m responsible, attentive and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication and other specific care needs.

About: Coming from an agricultural background, I spent most of my life around animals big and small. I grew up with three cats Tigger, Corby, and Hoggie, and two big dogs Bailey and Bertie. I’m quite an active person - I row, cycle, run, amongst other sports so very happy & capable to handle any giddy or energetic pets. I have looked after, and dog walked in Dublin, Edinburgh, and New York. Currently doing a masters at Oxford, but have plenty of time during the week & weekends to walk or look after your pet(s). When in London, I live close to both Clapham Common and Battersea Park so plenty of space to walk/run around, but also a quiet residential neighbourhood. Fortunately between Oxford and London both properties benefit from back gardens with high fencing. I understand it can be a daunting experience for both pet and owner and therefore I prioritise good and effective communication, and happy to send regular updates.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals. I am quite cleanliness focused and like to form connections with the animals when I can. I have a free schedule at the moment. I go out occasionally on walks or if there are local events, but I try to fit this around the needs of pets. I will follow the instructions set out by you - the owner - I try to form a bond with each animal that I take care of

About: I’ve taken care of a range of animals, from dogs and cats to Guinea pigs and gerbils for as long as I can remember. My experience ranges from pet-sitting for neighbours, being hired to train dogs and give them hydrotherapy, and walking a range of differently sized dogs, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and can provide a range of references. I’m currently a student at the University of Oxford, allowing me great flexibility for walking and pet-sitting at all times of day, all days a week. I can not offer dog sitting services in my own home as I am a university student so cannot host animals in my rented accommodation.

About: I've got a 8-year old rescue cat and a 1.5-year old rescue dog. Both came traumatised and are quite anxious and shy and required a lot of patience to gain their trust. I will give your pets the level of care and respect I expect for mine. Shy pets particularly seem to like me but happy to cater to any temperament and any individual needs. I have been cat-sitting for 1.5 years now, with 50+ bookings, catering to social cats, shy cats and cats with medical needs.

I do not offer boarding for the wellbeing of my own two anxious pets. I will respect what your pet needs, whether that's lots of attention and play time or to be left alone. You'll get updates and pictures and I will follow any instructions, I'll even water the plants if you want me to :)

“Priscille has recently started to walk our sensible and nervous dog. She has listen patiently to our instructions and done a fantastic job adjusting to his special needs. Communication has been excellent, we have been kept informed how they were doing on their walks which provided a big peace of mind. I have always found a happy and relaxed dog after Priscille came around, makes me super happy and looking forward to their next walks!”

About: I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs, as well as smaller pets. As the owner of two Ragdoll cats, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets with genuine care and attention! I’m confident managing a wide range of needs—from feeding, grooming, and litter box care to administering medication and providing calm, attentive companionship. I’ve also rescued and cared for a budgie, so I’m comfortable looking after birds and understand the extra care and patience they require. For dogs, I’m an avid runner and endurance athlete, so I’m happy to provide long walks or runs to keep high-energy dogs happy and well exercised. I always tailor my care to each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or need a bit of extra support :) My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—just like they would with you! I'm a researcher with a flexible schedule so happy to work with pet owners to agree on a schedule that works to provide the best care for your pet. I am centrally located in Oxford city centre and would be happy to make visits (multiple a day if needed) to addresses in the area, and also house sit when needed. I take pride in being communicative and will provide frequent updates, and double check any special care instructions to ensure I can provide the best care for your animal companion!

“Antonia was calm, friendly, and communicative, and we felt confident leaving her in charge of walking our energetic border collie twice today. We'd be happy to book her again next time we need a dog walker.”

“Neele is an excellent and responsible dog walker for my enthusiastic border collie. Highly recommend her.”

About: I have experience with big and small, and quiet and wild doggos. I have a friendly aura and get on well with these furry folk. Cat mother at heart. I am currently a university student and have a schedule that is very flexible. Looking for a few hours in my day to help and bond with your animal. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or medication if needed. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet. I trust that you as the owner has accommodated your home for your animal/pets. With the exception that it is a safe environment for your animals safety. I do not offer services for your animals to be in my home.

About: If you asked 10-year old Jui who her best friend was, she'd tell you it was the group of Indian stray dogs she would feed and play with everyday! Since then, I've jumped at every opportunity to walk or look after dogs of all shapes and sizes for neighbours, family friends and relatives. My own family dog was a very spirited senior Shih Tzu (pictured above). Dogs always love me - although probably not as much as I love them! I currently work full-time Monday to Friday but I am free everyday after work or during lunchtime for walks. Weekends are also completely free for dogsitting or dogwalking! I will make sure your pet always has comfortable space to relax, regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks, fresh water, and lots of attention and affection! I always try my best to maintain their usual routine and give them as much companionship and care as possible. I keep the home tidy, provide updates and photos for peace of mind, and make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

“Alice went above and beyond for all of my dogs walks. Taking into consideration all her needs, and making sure she was comfortable and happy. I will 100% recommend her services and will be rebooking again soon.”

About: I love pets, mostly dogs as I have had dogs in my family. My dog is 18 years old!! She lives with my parents in Spain, and I really miss her... I have had then experience with my own dog and at different stages of her life. Also, my two aunts have dogs, and there are two dogs in my partner's family as well. I have also gone walking at least with four friends and their dogs. They are all different sizes, breeds, and ages, and I love every single one of them. They all had different personalities, and I was able to adapt by giving them more space, ensuring they were comfortable not facing other dogs, or being more affective when they requested it and playing and running with them.
 To be fair, creating this profile would not only help me finantially, but it would also give me love from your pet, which I miss having as I cannot have a pet of my own in my Oxford flat. Therefore, I would take care of your pet as if it was my own. I'm also experienced in not only playing, walking and feeding them, but also giving them medicine (e.g., my dog has epilepsy, so she takes medication three times per day). A few years ago, I also dog sitted a friend's dog, and I had to give him pills hidden in food as well. Moreover, my dog's paws were hurt and I had to treat them with chlorhexidine... and many more examples where she had the recovery collar or other small injuries. Lastly, as a peculiarity: I have been my own dog's hairdresser for her whole life! :) I'm also happy to look after cats, as I have lived in a houseshare where my housemate had a cat and I took care of her when the housemate went away some weekends. I'm a PhD student at Oxford University working on my thesis, without funding. Wondering whether I could get a part-time job, I decided to offer my help as dog or cat sitter. In regards schedule, I can adapt as I'm writing my thesis, but to make it easier for me to organise myself, I would prefer evenings from 5pm. I would be happy to talk about it if you and your pet need another organisation, as well as I'm happy to talk about changing prices if you want to book me for several days/weeks. I have a few days that I won't be available in Oxford during July (July 30th-August 4th) and August (August 16th or bank holiday weekend), but I can try and adapt the rest of the summer days. To be fair, creating this profile would not only help me finantially, but it would also give me love from your pet, which I miss having as I cannot have a pet of my own in my Oxford flat. Therefore, I would take care of your pet as if it was my own:) I cannot have pets in my flat, but I would be delighted to walk your pet (for different lengths, like 30min or an hour, or even 1.30h). In a typical visit or walk, I would ensure he/she runs as well during their walk (if age and heat allow it), plays with a toy (ball catching), and sniffes enough surroundings to cover her/his necessities. It all will depend on the dog's necessities, displayed by the owners. I am also happy to come to your house and play, clean or feed your dog or cat there! I know all dogs and cats need different things, so I'm very happy to adapt:)
