Dog Sitting Shipston-on-Stour

About: Hi, I’m Skye! I’ve been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I have experience looking after dogs and cats for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, quiet cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I’ll provide patient and attentive care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet sitting. During visits I can feed pets, refresh water, administer basic oral medication if required, provide plenty of play and enrichment, clean litter trays or garden mess, and send regular photo and video updates so you know your pet is doing well. I work full-time during weekdays, (7:30-6in Bicester) so I’m available in the evenings, before work, weekends, and on many bank holidays. I’ll always be honest about my availability and will only accept bookings that allow me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I work full-time during the day (7:30-6pm in Bicester) , so I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits and pet care after work on weekdays, as well as weekends. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise and care they need. I’m reliable, punctual and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, walking routines and any special requirements. I take the time to build trust with every pet, provide plenty of affection and enrichment, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

“Ellie did a very good job. She even took the time to meet my puppy the day before to get to know each other. She is really good with animals.”

“Ok so we have tried this for the 1st tine so we can have a weekend away. I was so apprehensive and concerned as Dave is a very boisterous boy but Wow ? Dave never relaxes around people but with Stef he was so different. He took to Steph straight away which in itself is rare and he was playing with her and generally being the happy dog he is. ? it has been amazing to watch and now I have no concerns with Steph staying overnight with Dave when we go away ??”

About: I'm a genuine animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I share my home with my friendly 18month old spade female Cockalier and my laid back 5 year-old male cat, both of whom are used to being around other animals. We have a 2 bedroom house in the countryside an has a large, secure garden for playtime and exploring, and I guarantee at least two walks every day, tailored to your dog's energy levels and routine. I aim to provide a relaxed, home-from-home environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playing, snoozing on the sofa, or receiving lots of fuss and cuddles, they'll be treated like part of the family. Of course, there will also be plenty of treats (with your permission!) and regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. We take out spaniel out for a long field based walk every morning and then start work for 9am in my office. I take regular breaks to play in the garden or cuddle on the sofa. We usually have an afternoon walk around the neighborhood before finishing work at around 5pm and the evening is available for all pets and guests. Offering pet sitting services in a client's home would not be a problem if I can work intermittently on my laptop throughout the day. We have no regular commitments at the weekend so often find new dog friendly cafes, walks and places to visit. Our dog is secured in her crate at night in my office, and our cat has the use of the kitchen and utility and will be outside most of the day. We have a high fenced garden, with a large patio area and large grass area. A large open plan kitchen/living room, utility and office. And 2 bedrooms upstairs. Pets are welcome to the whole house including beds and furniture. Feeding, walks and nighttime routine can all be customised and followed by owners preferences.

About: Hi, I’m Lucy - a reliable and experienced dog lover based in Charlbury 🐾 I provide a calm, home-from-home environment for dogs, where they are treated like part of the family. I live in a spacious home on the edge of Charlbury, surrounded by beautiful countryside walks, and I have a very flexible schedule so your dog will get plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up around my dad’s work as a police dog handler and trainer, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve also raised my own dogs from puppies and have experience with senior dogs, so I understand the different needs they may have. At home currently, I have two friendly and well-socialised dogs: • Kobe, a 5 year old cockapoo, who is calm, gentle, and very relaxed • Ovie, a 1 year old toy poodle, who is playful, friendly, and loves other dogs Both are great with other dogs and have spent plenty of time around dogs of all sizes, ages and many different temperaments. Your dog will be cared for in a relaxed household setting, with: • Daily walks (morning and afternoon) • Lots of attention and companionship throughout the day • Comfortable and flexible sleeping arrangements (crates available if preferred) • The option to socialise or have their own space if needed We also have a secure patio garden and a fully sectioned home, so I can easily adapt the environment depending on your dog’s needs and personality. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages to give you peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your dog so feel free to get in touch! 🐶🩷 I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My own dogs are walked every morning and at least once again in the afternoon, with a mix of longer countryside walks and shorter outings depending on their needs. Dogs staying with me are included in this routine and are rarely left alone or can be supervised at all times if required, making this ideal for dogs who enjoy company and a home environment. I provide a safe, calm, and home-from-home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I live in a spacious home with plenty of room to relax, and I can easily section areas of the house if a dog needs their own space. I have two very friendly, well-socialised dogs, and I always introduce dogs carefully to make sure everyone is comfortable. We have a secure patio garden for outdoor time, and we’re surrounded by beautiful countryside walks. Dogs are walked at least twice daily, with a mix of longer and shorter walks depending on their needs. I’m happy to walk dogs on or off lead (with owner consent), depending on their recall, temperament, and what they’re used to. All walks are done with safety as the top priority. I also have access to nearby secure dog fields, which are a great option for safe, enclosed off-lead exercise and playtime, particularly for dogs who enjoy more freedom or need a secure space for a good run around. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I’m confident adapting care to suit each dog’s individual needs. Crates can be provided if preferred. We also have a very calm, elderly cat who keeps to himself and has his own space away from the dogs. I’m always happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Alice! 👋🐾 I’ve always been the person my family and friends call when they need someone they can completely trust to care for their pets and home while they’re away. After years of looking after dogs, cats and homes for the people closest to me, I decided it was time to turn something I genuinely love into a professional service. As a dog owner myself (my energetic Springer Spaniel, Ernie, certainly keeps me on my toes!), I understand that every pet is unique. Some dogs thrive on long countryside adventures, while others are happiest with a gentle stroll and plenty of sniffing. I always tailor walks and care to suit your pet’s age, breed, energy levels and routine. Ernie happily walks for up to an hour, so I’m more than comfortable with active dogs, but I’m just as happy taking things at a slower pace for puppies, seniors or more relaxed companions. Outside of pet sitting, I work in creative production where organisation, communication and attention to detail are part of my everyday life. I’m also a volunteer with the British Red Cross Emergency Response Team, so remaining calm, dependable and prepared comes naturally. Whether I’m caring for your pets or your home, you can be confident everything will be looked after with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own. What you can expect Every visit is centred around keeping your pet happy, comfortable and sticking to the routine they’re familiar with. Depending on your booking, this could include: 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s individual needs 🐾 Feeding, fresh water and administering medication if required (provided I’m given clear instructions) 🐾 Playtime, enrichment and plenty of fuss (if they enjoy it!) 🐾 Cleaning up after pets and keeping their living areas tidy 🐾 Lots of cuddles, companionship and reassurance while you’re away 🐾 Regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy If I’m staying in your home, I’ll also happily bring in post, water plants, put bins out, and leave everything clean, tidy and secure. Caring for different personalities Not every pet is instantly confident—and that’s absolutely okay. I take the time to let nervous or shy pets get to know me at their own pace and always use positive, patient handling. For energetic dogs, I’m happy to provide plenty of exercise, play and mental stimulation to keep them occupied. My priority is making sure every animal feels safe, respected and cared for as an individual. My aim is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, keep your home safe and well looked after, and ensure you return to happy pets and a home exactly as you left it. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! 🩷🐶 I work full-time but have a flexible hybrid schedule and work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, so I can offer plenty of company, walks, toilet breaks and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for evening visits, overnight stays and weekends. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine! I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding and making sure my own dog gets plenty of attention and stimulation. I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s hands, so I’ll always treat both with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks, sleeping arrangements and any specific instructions you leave. I’m careful with doors, gates and leads, and I’ll always make sure pets are safe and settled before leaving. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and will keep everything clean, tidy and secure. Most importantly, I’ll send regular photos and updates so you can relax while you’re away knowing everything is in safe hands.

About: I have dogs all my life, until I moved abroad. So I did trusted house sitters for some time. I’m currently renting a flat where pets are not permitted so I miss the company. I am more than happy to take care of other people’s fluffy friends. I’m a PhD student so my hours can be very flexible. So get in touch and we can arrange something that works for you, me and your fluffy friends I am very respectful of the space I am allowed to use, and I will always do my best to take care of everything within the owner’s home. I will follow any routines that their pets have, even if it includes giving medicine or cooking for them.

About: Hi, I’m Kate! ❤️🐾 I’m a huge dog lover based in Witney and I genuinely love having dogs around me.

I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements and medication if needed. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather spend the day snoozing on the sofa and having cuddles, I’ll make sure their stay suits them. I also love sending photos and little updates throughout their stay, so you can see what they’re up to and know they’re happy and settled. My schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to spend with the dogs in my care. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, toilet breaks and lots of attention throughout the day. I always try to stick to your dog’s usual routine as much as possible, so they can feel comfortable and settled while staying with me.

Dogs are welcome on the sofa and bed if that’s what they’re used to at home. Although I live in a ground floor flat, I have my own secure, enclosed patio with direct access to a large grassy area, so dogs can easily get outside for regular toilet breaks and some fresh air.

“Stephen has only made a couple of visits so far but he seems very nice and professional. I intend to use his services again and I would recommend him to others.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since j was around 12 years old. I’ve looked after from the size of a bichon fries to a German Shepard. So have had my fair share of different sized animals I don’t work as I’m a full time mum so u can expect me to be with ur dogs 24/7. They’re allowed to be on my bed with me. They can come in my car. They can come park and have a massive field to run around in I have a fenced flat garden that the dogs can run around in to go toilet. Or even just to play. I have a huge field near mine where dogs can run and play with balls etc

“Definitely booking again, Thanks for taking care of our cat…”

Maxin J.

“Tabitha did a great job with drop-in visits for my cat. It was a last minute request that she was able to help book in a day. She took great care of my pet, was communicative, and sent lots of good photos. Would book again!”

“Albert had a fantastic walk with Lewis, who took him for a long trip at lunch with his partner and their dog Rocky. Albert has since slept all afternoon and is looking forward to his next adventure! I would highly recommend Lewis.”

About: I absolutely adore animals, and my gentle giant Loki and I love welcoming extra furry (and feathered!) friends into our world. Whether it's a quick pop-in to check on your pet, a refreshing walk, or staying over to keep them comfortable in their own home, I treat every animal with the same care and patience I give my own. At home, I share my life with Loki (a giant breed dog), 2 cats, 2 chickens, and 3 quail, so I'm genuinely comfortable with all kinds of animals and their quirks, big, small, feathered, or four-legged. As a giant breed owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to hand over care of a large or strong dog, and I bring that same calm, confident energy to pets of every size. I live in the countryside and spend much of my own time outdoors, so walks are never rushed. I know beautiful routes right from the front door, plus a short drive to woodlands, parks, and National Trust grounds 🌳. For house sitting and pop-ins, I focus on keeping your pet's routine consistent and stress-free, so they feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet isn't just "looked after" with me. They're cared for the way I'd want mine cared for. I work from home so your pet will always have some company. I can accommodate your special pet care needs and happy to provide whatever you need! I have a gated courtyard and a large grassy garden for your pets to enjoy! Your pet will be welcomed into our loving, caring and secure family cottage.

About: My mother started a non profit rescue organization, for abused & neglected dogs back in South Africa when I was just 11. Since then I have grown up working along side vets, assisting with any medical & care treatment needed for dogs. I have experience in bottle feeding, inoculations, first aid, new borns, seniors & even dogs with different disabilities. Growing up I lived with an average of 30 plus dogs at once, coming in & out as we nursed them back to health & found them forever families. I’m a massive animal lover & go out of my way to ensure your fur babies are constantly happy & safe! Have had my own reactive dog walking business for over 4 years now & love getting to work with all sorts of breeds I’m currently studying online & work mornings from 05:00- 8:30 am Monday- Saturday. I do not work weekends unless I’m house sitting. But other than that I’m available between my online lessons throughout the day from 9-5 Monday to Fridays. I treat your fur babies as if they my own. Obviously depending on different house rules, I usually tend to allow the dogs to sleep on the bed with me. My main priority at the end of the day is to make sure your fur babies are safe & comfortable.
