House Sitting in Oxford

“Liz was so good with our two dogs. The younger one has anxiety and is fearful of strangers. But she quickly settled him and he was snuggled up on the sofa with her in no time. We chose Liz because she is not afraid to manage a reactive dog and was quite happy taking him out (to a secure field) for his walk. They had a lovely time with Liz and I know Blue will remember her next time and be very excited to see her.”

“Tabitha stayed in our home for 2 months , looking after our two kittens, as well as our house, whilst we were on an extended trip abroad. Our kittens, a Bengal and a Burmese, needed LOTS of love and attention and they certainly got that from Tabitha! Tabitha was extremely responsible, took the job very seriously and followed every instruction we left her to the letter. She communicated with us regularly and always included photos/videos of the kittens which I very much appreciated! It was obvious that Tabitha loved our cats as much as we did and the cats were happy and healthy when we returned. Tabitha was a very competent and trustworthy cat (and house!) sitter for us and I expect her professional attitude, common sense and general love of animals would extend to the care of other animals as well. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care.”

“Gabriella was amazing with Nuka and went the extra mile for her care, even collecting her from our home. I got pictures throughout the day of playtime, exploration, and cuddles and resting. I absolutely recommend her! Nuka was so happy when she got home.”

“We are so lucky to have found Georgina and Sam. They were brilliant looking after Gertie so well. We came back to a tidy house (tidier than we left it!) and a very happy puppy. They were the perfect blend of calm and laid back alongside understanding exactly what Gertie needed and knowing how best to manage her. Definitely would recommend Georgina to anyone looking for someone special to look after their own four-footed friends.”

“Eleanor looked after our Bernese-Border Collie cross, Freya, for an afternoon and early evening. Eleanor was very friendly and very quick to respond when we checked in via text to see how they were doing. Freya absolutely adores her, and Eleanor even taught Freya a new trick! We (Freya especially!) hope she'll be able to look after Freya yet again in future.”

“Nyah was a great house sitter, she took wonderful care of both animals and the house. Her daily reports were much appreciated, I'll definitely be using her again!”

“Maddie is a reliable pet carer. I trusted her with a key and she looked after, walked, fed and cared for my 2 dogs brilliantly.”

“Wonderful dog sitter, our puppy loved her from the get go. Really communicative, was lovely to get some updates and pictures throughout the evening. Would 100% recommend!”

“Great experience with Sadie. She was able to accommodate a last minute house sitting with my RR, Oak. She even popped round the day before to get to know him. Kind and enthusiastic energy, would book again!”

“Karna is a fantastic sitter! Our dog Ciccio loved her company while we were away. She took great care of him, played with him and go for a long walk. We will definitely call her again to look after Ciccio!”

“Betina was great! We felt our very happy puppy and our house were in safe hands! She sent us photos throughout and clearly loves and genuinely cares for animals. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I have grown up with dogs and absolutely adore spending time with them. I have spent the last two years volunteering at the local dog rescue centre Dog’s Trust in my freetime and have spent time with all kinds of dogs; old and young, big and small, scared and eager and am well experienced looking after, feeding, walking and playing with them all. I recently moved to Oxford and am looking to look after dogs as I no longer have my own at home. I am a research assistant in Headington and can fit my work around caring for your pets as it’s pretty flexible. I am happy to house sit on a weekday and any weekend/long weekend periods when you require and can dog walk most days of the week, in the afternoon/evening if possible. This is flexible depending on the requirements of individual pets and I am happy to discuss any needs or concerns. I am renting a house currently so cannot care for pets in my own home, so am offering feeds/loo breaks, dog walking and dog sitting in your own home.

“Hallie is a 100% animal lover, she looked after my 6 dogs and 3 horses for 2 weeks whilst on holiday and I couldn’t be happier with her care. My house was kept immaculate and my pets happier than ever! Highly recommend.”

“Negin was very caring and kind to Jeff from the first moment they met. Very prompt communication and flexibility are her significant qualities. We would certainly consider her again in future occasions.”

“Very reliable, professional, and communicative. Jasmine looked after Phoebe for a couple of days and handled her wonderfully. The house was well looked after and Phoebe had a great time, can’t ask for more!”

About: Hello Everyone! My names Caroline and I'm a HR Professional based in the centre of Oxford near the station. During my studies, I pet-sat for many pets on this app and another app including kittens and dogs which I absolutely loved! Availability: most weekday evenings after 5:15. occasional availability on weekends so do shoot me a message! In particular, I walked a small Boston Terrier 4 times a week, with regular long stays at the owners home. For friends I have house-sat for two labradors this summer for 2 weeks and the year prior, I house-sat for another Labrador for a week. This Labrador was a senior girl and I dealt with an experience of her falling sick. I learnt a lot during this care, involving communication and regular updates with the owner, an online vet consultation, an emergency vet visit in the early hours of the morning and of course lots of caring for the dog and using my judgement. The dog has recovered very well! I also volunteered at the RSPCA for many years walking and spending time with their dogs and cats both up for adoption and in boarding :)) I myself have had two cats and three rabbits - all of which have lived to very old if that says anything about my care of them haha. My 20 year old cat now has taught me to to adapt my behaviour and care of him as the years have gone on. I spend all day at a computer so I’m really trying to get out more and move environment! free Saturday/Sundays all day and weekday evenings generally free :)) Of course all pets are creatures of habit so I’ll cater to that as much as I can, making sure timings are adhered too as well as regular walking/ sleeping spots. I currently work in HR and spend all day at a computer so I’m really trying to get out more and move environment! free some Saturday/Sundays all day and weekday evenings generally free :)) Of course all pets can be creatures of habit so I’ll cater to that as much as I can, making sure timings are adhered too as well as regular walking/ sleeping spots. I especially keen on house-sitting as I’ve enjoyed this many times in the past and enjoy the break to my regular weekly routine.

“I have no hesitation in recommending Curtis. Curtis is a wonderful human being. He is a responsible, trustworthy, caring and diligent young man. And most importantly, he loves animals. He has looked after our terrier many times and she just loves him. He's always careful to follow her routine; feeding and walking her as she needs. And there is no shortage of cuddles. When Curtis arrives our middle aged dog bounces around like a puppy, she is so excited to see him! And that's the test, isn't it? She just loves him.”

About: I used to tech tricks to my Nan’s collies as a child before we rescued a springer spaniel at 11. He was 8 when we rescued him and getting on in life looking for his retirement home but he wasn’t don’t yet. We were lucky enough to have him until he was 16 years old. He had two strokes in this time, arthritis and separation anxiety which meant he required lots of extra care and attention. He sadly passed away a few years ago and due to job changes we aren’t able to devote all our time to another dog and so it wouldn’t be fair on the dub but since then we have dog sitted for friends, including have 2 little chihuahuas in our home. We have a completely fenced in garden and don’t live too far from some lovely walks. I currently work full time Monday to Friday but I am hybrid in the office with my days at home changing week to week. My usual Sundays consist of a long walk or run and I sometimes meet friends who have dogs for walks. I have a fenced in front and back garden. Pets would be allowed on the furniture. We have lots of places to walk dogs nearby.

“Elaine was great at looking after Rambo, and kept my house clean and was very responsive and communicate. Would recommend to anyone looking for a trusted dog sitter in their own home :)”

“Giulia was great, and very flexible figuring out a good solution for sitting my little guy, who has both health issues and separation anxiety. She was very communicative through the whole process. My guy came back to me in great spirits and health.”
