Dog Sitting Shipston-on-Stour

“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 ??”

“Ellie was very helpful in stepping in at short notice to look after our dogs. She was very professional and competent, and was good with communication. We’d have no hesitation in booking her again.”

“Annie was amazing with Gyda and Floki. They both seemed so happy and well looked after when I got home. She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

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.

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: Hi, I’m Kate! ❤️🐾 I’m a huge dog lover based in Witney and I genuinely love having dogs around me. I know leaving your dog with someone new can feel a little stressful, so I want them to feel as comfortable and at home with me as possible. 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. Your dog will be treated like part of the family while staying with me. I keep things calm and relaxed. I can give them plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable and settled. I’m happy to stick to their usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine, give medication if needed, and follow any instructions you leave 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 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.

“Millie was fantastic looking after our two cats, feeding, playing, changing litter, and giving medications. She was great with communication before and during looking after them. She came round before we went away to meet the cats and understand what was needed. She sent updates with photos and videos while we were away which was hugely appreciated. We felt really comfortable having Millie look after our cats while we were away and the cats were very happy and relaxed when we got home. I would absolutely recommend Millie.”

About: Hi! My name is Krithu, As a family, we understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can genuinely trust. We have a fun-loving 3-year-old Labrador who is a treasured member of our family, so we know just how much love, care, and attention dogs need every day. While caring for our own dog has given me and my mother (Sangeetha) valuable hands-on experience with energetic breeds, daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and creating a safe, happy environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. We know that every dog has their own personality and routine, which is why we take the time to get to know each pet and tailor our care to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, interactive play, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, my mum and I will make sure they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and one-on-one attention while you're away. Your dog's happiness and wellbeing will always be our priority. We are a reliable, caring, and patient family, and we'll treat your pet as if they were one of our own. To give you complete peace of mind, we'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and in caring hands. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I can easily accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and plenty of companionship, while sticking to your pet's usual routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I provide a safe, caring, and welcoming environment for every pet. At my home, I have a securely fenced garden where dogs can play safely and enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time.

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

About: I have an 8 year old female Cocker Spaniel. Experience with drop in visits to friend’s dogs. New to Rover as a sitter myself. I am a teacher by day working 4 days a week. Mondays are my free days so have full availability on a Monday to suit your needs. I have a small fenced in garden. My garden does have astro turf. I can drive so happy to travel with your pup or to walk in your local area.

“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!”

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.
