“Cora has been wonderful with our boisterous young German Shepherd. She is communicative, clearly loves animals, and makes his walks interesting and engaging. Highly recommend!”


“I don’t understand why she marks everywhere outside, would have thought it’d stop after she was spayed but got worse. She’s not her full self at the minute but we are giving her leg another week on different painkillers and reviewing next Monday. Thanks Cluny!”


About: I have grown up with dogs and have been looking after dogs since 2020. I can take them overnight, and the longest I had a dog was for 5 weeks when the owners had a family emergency outside the UK. It is now a very normal routine for me. I work from home 5 days a week, and have been looking after dogs since 2020, usually for friends and family. When I am out and about, I take them with me. I have a 2 bed house, and a fenced backyard, and I normally go out for walk, weather depending, 2 - 3 times a day. My daughter (18) loves to play ball and there is a huge park 1 min away from where I am, so that is handy. For pet owners home, I will follow as instructed.

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. My parents use to train hearing puppies for the blind and I grew up with two dogs, one who sadly passed away at 19 and one who is currently 14 (both border terriers). I work 9-5 during weekdays and have free weekends. I love looking after animals so I am happy to travel to look after your pet/pets! I work remotely so I am available most of the time (except Thursdays). I am more than happy to come and stay for a day, walk at any time or just pop in for a little bit. I look after my own dog and use to dog sit regularly.

About: I have long experience looking after my own animals over the years, dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and guinea fowl. I have lived in remote places and had to adapt as situations arose. Now returning to Oxfordshire I want to broaden to looking after animals when people need the help of someone with common sense and a love for animals. I am currently at home and therefore very flexible, I do work away from home periodically and am looking for a job that takes me outside in the fresh air and don't mind the weather. I am happy to get out and about with your pet as well as be at home. I'm just as happy sitting and keeping company as I am doing food, hygiene, medicines and visits out. I don't have any pets in my current home so am able to be fully focused on yours.

About: Extensive and secure garden, full access to the house. Great countryside walks in all directions! I spend all day everyday caring for animals and believe in attention to detail and a lot of fun ☺️ Currently having the summer off from university and focusing on looking after lovely dogs! I grew up around animals, and am very proficient in animal care. Walks in the countryside every morning and evening to suit dog's needs. We have great access to rivers, forests and beautiful hills. I have a very large wall garden (photographed) with electric gates. Very secure. Dogs have access to the whole house and access to the garden at all times. Smaller dogs or dogs with different preferences can do less and have constant supervision. Over the past few years I have fostered dogs, had hound puppies in for summer training, cared for elderly and disabled dogs; as well as full time care of my lovely collie.

About: I have had pets in the family since I was a child, and love being around all breeds of dogs. I have experience volunteering at the local Dogs Trust charity, have been involved in puppy training and looking after various pets of our family & friends. Myself & my husband rescued a mixed breed dog from Hungary in 2021 called Jennifer, after she was found in a park giving birth to 9 puppies. If boarding at our home, your dog will have Jenny as a playmate. However if you prefer, I can offer walks & drop ins solo. I’m currently working as a part-time flight attendant. This means that I won’t have regular availability during the week, however the dates I mark as available will be my rest days from travelling, so will be around for the entire day to care for your dog. We have a completely fenced garden with bi-fold doors which in summer can be left open for your dog to wander in and out of the garden as they choose/to take toilet breaks. Our recuse dog Jennifer will be great company for your dog, providing a play date at the same time as your dog being looked after. Our home routine is already based around dog life, so yours will fit right in!

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs, slobber and all - growing up dogs were such a big part of my life, treating them like one of the family! I’m currently working in the afternoon/evenings part time so have lots of free time during the day for dog walks and free time during the week for over night stays. I don’t have any dogs of my own, I have a good size gated garden which will keep the doggies safe while in my care.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs at home and I've taken care of pets for friends and family over the years. I love being around them, caring for them and giving them love. I have a miniature daschund myself and he's the sweetest boy. I'd have more pets in a heartbeat if I could. I'd love to take care of your furbabies. It would be my pleasure. I work full time Mon-Fri but there's a lot of flexibility with my job. I can pop out and pop in as needed so caring for your pet is no problem at all. I will follow all your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You will have daily updates (if preferred) so you can rest assured that all is well with your pets throughout my time with them.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a mum who was a veterinary nurse, I was surrounded by all kinds of creatures and learned early on how to care for them with confidence and compassion. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping with a dog rescue charity, supporting the rehabilitation and rehoming of dogs from Serbia—an experience that deepened my understanding of not only behavioural and lifestyle needs but emotional. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats wnd rodents and have built a solid, hands-on knowledge across many species. Whether your pet is big or small, fluffy or scaly, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I would my own Following an accident, I took the opportunity to reassess my career and realised that working with animals brings me the greatest sense of purpose and fulfilment. I’ve now made pet care my full-time profession, combining years of hands-on experience with a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of every animal in my care. To further my knowledge and enhance the services I offer, I’m also undertaking additional training and courses focused on animal care and welfare. This means that—if I’m not already booked—I’m ready and waiting to help whenever you and your animals need me. I make sure every pet’s routine and needs are followed carefully, so they feel comfortable and secure. If I’m caring for them at home, you can expect a happy, relaxed pet and a home that’s left just as clean—or even cleaner—than when I arrived. If they’re staying with me, they’ll have plenty of space to roam and explore, with miles of open fields and a secure fenced area to keep them safe while they have fun.

“Eleana and Jack were great. Meg and Monty had a great time on their walks and we were kept well up to date on how they were getting on which was very reassuring. Would highly recommend!”

I have a fenced garden and many fields near me for us to go and run around. I will not take your dog off lead unless I feel comfortable doing so (and the owner has said this is okay) When pet sitting in an owners home I tend to follow in the pets footsteps with what they like to do to ensure a building of trust and reliability

About: As a family, we have been pet/house sitting over the past years. Initially this was full-time, whilst travelling, and we now housesit for our own holidays, as we loved it so much! I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats (as well as having owned my own in the past), with many reviews on other sitting apps. I don't have pets of my own just now and absolutely love 'borrowing' other people's! I'm very active and enjoy long walks with the dogs and will be around for company if house sitting. I currently work part-time so have plenty of time for walks and cuddles. I generally only organise house-sits for days I'm not working, so I can be around as much as possible. I'm available for walks any time of day, and sitting most days of the week- just drop me a message and I'm sure I'll manage to fit your pets in ☺️ I only care for pets in their own home and am available for overnight stays and walking. I feel that caring for the pets in their own environment is the more enjoyable for everyone, as the dogs will be relaxed. Your pets will enjoy long walks, and lots of play and cuddles- I just love spending time with animals, it's such a privilege to share other people's pets.

Their diets were carefully managed and kept up, the two boys came back happy and relaxed having really enjoyed their little holiday. Thank you!”

Charlotte S.
“Charlotte is an excellent doggie carer, I wholeheartedly trust her to take care of any dog. She treats them like her own and loves them all.”


Jessica B.
“I previously hired Jessica to take care of my dogs while I was away on vacation and I must say I was extremely impressed with the level of care and attention to detail provided by the sitter. From the moment Jessica arrived I could tell she was a genuine animal lover. She followed all of my instructions to the letter ensuring my dog's routine was not disrupted in any way and with them both eating two different types of foods, she was so good with them and making sure they ate separately. Jessica also sent me daily updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care services.”

Emmalina B.
“I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emmy, Stuart and Mia to look after your pets and home. They have house-sat for me on multiple occasions to look after my black Lab (Koby). Koby absolutely loves them, I know it's like a proper holiday for him with lots of affection, walks and cuddles. Although I had not previously had family to sit for me, after speaking to Emmy I felt very comfortable with the idea. They are a kind, caring family and they've taught their daughter to be very respectful of animals. The house is always cleaner and tidier than I left it! I wish they still lived nearby- Koby misses them.”
