House Sitting in South Oxfordshire

“Lily was all we could have asked for. After needing a last minute booking due to family circumstances, she stepped up to the mark. She pushed herself out of her comfort zone, managing our chickens and ducks, plus one of our dogs needing twice daily injections. She updated us regularly with photos and videos, was attentive and respectful with our home, and even came gifting flowers and chocs due to the aforementioned (sad) circumstances we needed to head to South Wales urgently to be part of. 100% recommended”

“Kaye has taken fantastic care of our baby kitten Socks. She was with him for 10 days and Socks has been so happy and relaxed and so evidently well cared for!!! She sent us many videos and pictures of him every day. We couldn't be happier, strongly recommend!!!”

Mona S.

“We had a really excellent experience with Francesca today. She was calm and friendly with our nervous rescue Molly who then settled very quickly. We received regular updates after we left and Francesca was conscientious in keeping her entertained with games while we were gone. We will absolutely book her again and recommend that others do too!”

“I am so happy with the service Tammi provided. I went away for the weekend and came back to two very happy and relaxed dogs. My dogs are disabled so I was worried how a dogsitter might cope, but she handled it all like the pro she is! House was also immaculately left. If I could give more than 5 stars to Tammi then I would. Thank you Tammi :)”

“Karna was lovely and great communication. She took my energetic dog for long walks and he would have had a great time!”

Tamsin T.

“I would highly recommend Jodie. She was very communicative and bonded well with my elderly dog (15). She kept me informed regularly including photos and left the house in a very good condition - clean and tidy. She appeared to be very responsive to my dog's needs and I returned to a happy dog. I have rebooked for my next trip away.”

Anthea O.

“Sam looked after Otto for two nights whilst my wife and I went to a nearby festival. Sam was great communicating in advance of the day, and I was comfortable that we would look after Otto at our house - he was considerate that this was the first time someone else had stopped in the house to look after him without his usual ‘pack’ around! Same sent photos and took Otto on plenty of exercise including socialising with another dog. I’d definitely use Sam again, and it was obvious that Otto had a great time with him!”

About: I’ve looked after pets for over 3 years now, I am currently on “Trusted House Sitters” and have multiple 5 star reviews to show how capable and flexible I can be. I work fully remote so you’ll know your pets always have company and quality time with myself. I can do as little as 1 day or as long as 2/3 weeks at a time, I’m now looking to try Rover to be able to do this more full time. I currently work fully remote full time so will always be available to care for your pets needs whether that’s going a on a midday walk, making sure they’re fed on time and especially to help with any medication at a specific time. I have years of experience looking after all sorts of animals and will always be there to ask questions and send photos of the great times we’ll have together! I currently live at home with 2 cats and a sausage dog so have the experience to keep the peace with them all running around. As you know Dachshunds are one of the most stubborn breeds so if I can look after Dougie, I’m sure I can handle everything!

About: I've owned dogs my whole life (34years) I also regularly work my own gundogs. I enjoy meeting different breeds, and have a keen interest in their wellbeing. I drop my 2 daughters off at school, ensure all chores at home are done and I then have free time to walk other dogs I am very considerate and thoughtful of other people's pets and routines and will always go my best to follow instructions to ensure maximum satisfaction for all involved.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. I had my own beagle from when I was 10 years old until 2021, so I understand what it means to look after a dog through every stage of their life — from puppy to senior. As he got older, he required daily medication, and I was responsible for giving him his pills and making sure he stayed comfortable and well cared for. I’ve also looked after dogs for family members over the years. My uncle’s dog, Logan (a border collie), was one I regularly cared for while they were away. I would stay at my uncle’s house so Logan could remain in his familiar environment, which worked well as I often work from home. I became the go-to person in the family to look after him. When he developed glaucoma, I supported his treatment by administering daily eye drops and caring for him after surgery, including when he lost one of his eyes. This gave me experience handling dogs that need extra care and patience. More recently, here in the UK, I regularly look after a young Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Woody. I stay at his home while his owner is away to keep his routine consistent and make him feel comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, including walks, feeding, and playtime, and make sure he feels safe and well looked after. I genuinely love being around dogs and making sure they are happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but I have a flexible routine. I work from home most days (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday), which allows me to take regular breaks for walks, feeding, and general care throughout the day. On the days I go into the office (Monday and Thursday). I’ve successfully balanced work and pet sitting before, ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency in their routine. Weekends are fully flexible, so I can dedicate my time completely to your pet. When caring for pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely — including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and any specific routines your pet is used to. I understand how important consistency is, especially when owners are away. I’m also very respectful of your home and keep everything clean, tidy, and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and needs, whether that’s giving them space, keeping them active, or providing extra care and patience. I have experience administering medication, including pills and eye drops, and I’m comfortable handling pets that require a bit of extra support.

“Alice is always on time and sends us a picture of our pup. We’re very comfortable with her sitting for us if we’re away or if we just need her to pop in for a dog walk. Would recommend!”

“Chris did a lovely job of looking after Kylo. He’s not always easy as he’s very young but Chris was knowledgeable and was able to adapt to Kylo’s needs and behaviour. And took some lovely photos in the process. We are very grateful to Chris for his time and look forward to being able to use his services again in the near future :)”

About: Welcome! I am Sophie. I am an avid animal lover with lots of experience in animal care and pet-sitting. I have achieved an extended deplomer in animal management thought my work at Tiggy Winkles wildlife hospital, helping care for and rehabilitate animals back into the wild in a veterinary setting. I have been house/pet sitting for friends and family for the past 3 years. I currently work as an estate agent, so when it comes to taking care of your home, I know a thing or two. Day to day, having people allow me into there home and putting trust in my hands (quite literally by putting their keys in my hand) I completely understand the ins and outs of the trust it takes to invite someone in and to look after your home. Yes, I know what you might be thinking “but she’s so young”. This fact is true, that being said, does not mean I am not trust worthy, reliable or mature. In fact, I have plenty of energy to take your dogs on lots of walks, play for hours with your pussy cats and go above and beyond with any extra care your beloved pets need. I am currently working as an estate agent. I do work 9-6 but have plenty of time at either end of the day to take care of your pets. I am happy to get up extra early to ensure everyone has been walked, let out, played with and fed. If I am working close enough I am also able to come home to let your pets out during my lunch break. I also foster cats with the help of my family. Taking care of any sick or injured kitty’s that come to us for help when I am at home. Making sure they find the perfect, loving home for each and every one of them. (Even though I do give in and keep one from time to time) I have 1 boarder collie dog and 3 gorgeous cats of my own. Growing up, I have never not been around animals. From cats, dogs to chickens and fish, you name it, I have loved and cared for it.

About: Hi, I’m Jako. I am a responsible, loving parent based in Oxford with a deep passion for animals. Because I have children, I understand exactly what it means to trust someone with a loved one. I treat every dog I care for with the same level of patience, safety, and attention to detail that I do my own family. Whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule or knowing exactly how to handle a sudden burst of energy, I am calm, capable, and ready to help. For me, dogs are the ultimate stress-busters. In a busy world, I love how dogs remind us to slow down and enjoy the simple things, a walk in the fresh air, a game of fetch, or a quiet cuddle on the sofa. I love their honesty and their unconditional love. Spending time with dogs brings a genuine smile to my face; their excitement is contagious, and I find their company incredibly therapeutic. As a parent, my life runs on a solid routine. After the morning school drop-off, I have dedicated hours free for long walks and play. I am up early and active all day, meaning I can stick to your pet's feeding and walking schedule perfectly without ever missing a beat. As a parent, my home is secure, child-proofed, and safe. I provide constant supervision in a loving family environment, strictly following your rules and routine.

“Pelin & Emre have been super fast to respond and helped with a few days notice. They made the time to visit prior to the day we had arranged them to sit for and made the time to understand the dogs needs and become familiar with them first. On the day Emre looked after the dogs he arrived in plenty of time which was hugely appreciated. Our dogs have quite extreme separation anxiety and need a lot of care and we felt very assured leaving our dogs in Emre’s care and knew they would be well looked after. Communication throughout the day was great with pictures and we will look forward to having Pelin & Emre look after our dogs again!”

Joe S.

“Chloe dogsat our dog Otto whilst my fiancé and I had to work for the day. We left Otto with Chloe for the day whilst she worked from home with her puppy Meera. I was given periodic updates throughout the day and felt comfortable that otto was being looked after and he was also taken out for a walk. I would definitely ask Chloe to help out with looking after otto again.”
