Pet Sitting in Oxford

“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. ❤️”

“Charlie took to Elaine straight away, and she was so good with him, not worrying that he was quite excited by her being here. She managed him well and he was able to calm down and chill with her. Great communication throughout. I will definitely ask Elaine to look after Charlie again.”

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.

“Robin's been amazing with our dog over four drop-in visits. She’s friendly, reliable, and flexible with visits. Our dog is quite nervous, so it’s been really nice to see them gradually get more comfortable with her. We’re very grateful for the care and patience Robin’s shown and would happily book again.”

“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.”

“Mylena is very efficient and very caring. Molly is not the easiest cat, but Mylena gained her trust and was always attentive to her needs. She is sensible and responsible, and we felt that Molly was in very safe hands. We are lucky indeed to have found Mylena and we hope that she will be available next time we go away.”

About: Hello! My name is Nami and my partner’s name is Yhor. We are students with bubbly independent and energetic personality. I obviously love animals as I aspire to have a future with animals . I always had a pet in my life , first one being a fish at 4 years . I have had a dog called cookie but unfortunately passed away a year ago. I always took the main role of taking care of my dog and gained lots of experience from him. As a pet carer , i know that your pet are the one of the most important things in your life. Ill make sure to update you when needed and any requirements i would need to know (e.g allergies) beforehand to make sure im prepared for them. Since there are two of us, your dog will get double the love! Im currently a student and have a flexible schedule. I am willing to take any dog at any day afternoons or morning . Just let me know 24hours beforehand. When i had my dog cookie, i would update their vaccinations when they need, made sure everything was dogproof and made sure he was safe. I would need to know any allergies or health issues about the pet and take a picture and update the owner at any point

“Florin was AMAZING. My cat is very sweet with those he knows, but scared of anyone else and hides. Most sitters just come by and feed him and make sure he has what he needs (which I tell them is fine, it’s what I expect since my cat hides), but Florin took the time to gain his trust. By the end of her time with him, he’d come out and play and even let her pet him. I just know he really appreciated that. I will be hiring Florin again. Thank you, Florin!”

“Laura was very accommodating when we had to rearrange the meet and greet due to me being ill and was great with Toby on her drop-in to feed and walk him. Definitely recommended.”

About: I used to have a senior whippet mix. He needed constant supervision and trips outside. Along with that he was cuddled constantly and told how good a boy he was. I’ve recently moved to the UK and looking for a part time job. Since my dog passed i have been in need of some dog energy. I live on a second floor flat in the center of Oxford. I’m near many parks and paths I can take your dog on walks.

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: What sets me apart is a lifetime of animal intuition. I grew up in a house full of cats, dogs, and birds, and I’ve been a Chihuahua owner for 15 years. Since moving to Oxford, I’ve even expanded my skills by volunteering with the goats at the Oxford City Farm. Specialized Care & Medical Experience I am particularly comfortable with pets that need a little extra "TLC" or have specific health requirements: * Medical Administration: I have extensive experience administering medication to both dogs and cats, whether it’s oral meds, supplements, or following a strict clinical routine. * Senior Expertise: My 15 years with a Chihuahua means I’m an expert in senior care—I understand the patience, gentle handling, and alertness required for aging pets. * Adaptability: From tiny, spirited dogs to farm animals, I know how to read body language and keep animals calm and happy. I’m honest, reliable, and will treat your pets like my own family. I’d love to help give you peace of mind while you're away! I am currently in between jobs therefore can provide around the clock care to your animals. I can make sure their routine routines are met! I currently care for my senior Chihuahua at my house which has a secure garden and is close to a park to allow for long walks and exercising!

“Ella was a fantastic sitter for our cat. She was professional, friendly and kept us update throughout her visits which was really reassuring! We can’t recommend Ella highly enough! Thank you Ella!”

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.

“Qian was fantastic! She was great with our cat, and it was so nice to get pictures and see how well Ripley was cared for while we were away. We will be booking Qian again for sure.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and have dog sat for family, friends and neighbours for years. I live in a house with a garden in central Oxford and love being active. I am happy to take your dog on as many walks as they need or chill and relax with them! Playing games and running about followed by good belly rubs is my favourite pastime. I work full time and WFH 1 day a week. So I can dog sit Friday - Monday and take your talk for walks before work, during lunch and after work on my WFH days while keep a close and good care of them through out the day. On weekends we can spend all the time we want outside or chill and cozy up inside. While dog sitting, your dog has my undivided attention and I will always cater to their needs. I have a fenced paved garden and space indoors for your dog to roam around. I have space for a dog bed and toys. I live with my partner in a terraced house on a quiet road in a safe area.

“Xiaoya is brilliant! She took care of zen so well. He went from being shy (his natural character ) to loving her and looking for strokes all the time. She always made sure he was comfortable and always did everything to an excellent standard. Will definitely be using her again!”
