Pet Sitting in South Oxfordshire

“This is the second time (and not the last time) Anya has dropped in to see my Binny! No complaints at all, I always come home to a happy dog when Anya pops round. Thank you so much”

“Cora did a fantastic job looking after our two cats over the Christmas period while we were away. Made sure they had plenty of food and water, plus gave them a few treats with loads of attention through play on the days she was visiting. Excellent communication with photos to show both cats were safe and happy. I definitely recommend Cora and we will hopefully be using her again if she is available!”

“Gabriela is a wonderful cat sitter! Bobby absolutely loved seeing her every day for the past week and enjoyed all the attention and cuddles. She was warm, caring, and attentive—truly a pleasure to have looking after him”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’ve helped care for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from bouncy puppies to calm older dogs. I love spending time walking, playing, and giving each dog the attention they need to feel happy and safe. Owners can count on me to be reliable, caring, and to treat their pets like my own. Although I work full-time, my evenings are free and one to two afternoons a week. I am available for boarding at weekends only due to my work schedule. I look after dogs with lots of love and attention, whether in your home or mine. I’ll stick to their routine for meals, walks, and play, making sure they feel happy and safe. They can also have fun in my fully fenced garden, running and exploring freely. I will always tailor care to each dog’s personality, so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: I can't remember a time where I wasn't obsessed with animals. Growing up I had rabbits, hamsters and ferrets and we always had family dogs (usually 2 at a time!) which were normally spaniels or Labradors. I have owned my own French Bulldog, Clover, for 5 years now and, whilst she is my whole world and I love her with every part of me, she isn't quite as keen for walks as she once was! I genuinely love being outside walking in all weathers and I am therefore hoping to walk other peoples dogs/care for them to fill the dog walking obsession that Clover isn't always capable of fulfilling! I have worked on Livery Yards, volunteered at the Blue Cross Animal Sanctuary and I have also volunteered at a Dog Hydrotherapy Centre. My parents used to own their own dog walking/dog daycare/dog grooming business for many years so I've plenty of experience being around other peoples dogs. My parents have also had litters from a couple of their spaniels over the years so I also have experience with puppies. I work full time as a property lawyer but I often work from home and I am available for walks early mornings (Clover won't get up before noon!), evenings and weekends. I can also do drop in visits on the days I work from home and I can housesit over weekends. I am happy to go out walking in all weathers! I am DBS checked. I won't have any animals stay at my house as Clover might get cross. However, I am more than comfortable creating a safe environment in another pet owner's home.

“Helped out at short notice and sent us loads of pics. Thoroughly recommended.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2022 across several platforms, from energetic puppies and affectionate cats to rabbits, lizards, and even the occasional guinea pig.

Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and outdoor breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily adjust to feeding times, walks, and cuddle breaks, ensuring your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Our house is a modest size safe home. No children and has a decent garden fully fenced. Our home is a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment, fully equipped for both active pets and those who prefer quiet company.

About: Hello! I'm Bianca, I'm 34-years-old. I'm a dog walker & pet sitter (hense being on Rover 😝) - this has been my full time job since September 2021. I also do the odd bit of freelance photography & graphic design work however I have have a lot of availability as a lot of my work is done from my laptop 😊. I absolutely adore animals! When I was younger my dad used to own a Labrador breeding company called 'Ridgeway Labradors'. I loved going to his house & helping to look after all of the dogs & the puppies. He also had other animals including a pig, a rabbit, two Shetland ponies, ducks, chickens, a cockerel & an African Grey parrot. I also had a Labrador myself for 12 years who I loved an incredible amount! Plus my sisters both have 3 dogs each, so there's animals pretty much everywhere within my family! I'm more than happy to watch the owners pets at their home. I'm very clean & tidy. if required, I'll take in/sign for any deliveries whilst I'm there & go to the shop if any pet food/supplies are needed. I'm happy to walk owner's dog's around their local area & if the owner doesn't mind their dog travelling in a car, I can take them to nice walking place's e.g. Wittenham Clumps. I'm also a sociable soul. I love to take dogs out to cafés/pubs with my boyfriend/friends or to meet my friends for dog walks with other dogs (only if the dogs are not anxious/reactive around other people, other dogs & in public places). If you have any questions, please do ask - I hope to hear from you soon & happy sitter hunting ☺️. Thank you, Bianca 🐾 I have some freelance work which means I am often sat on my laptop, so pet sitting works perfectly for me! I'm happy to chill & play with your pets whilst working too. If your pet has any special requirements or needs, I'm happy to discuss those & act on what is asked of me. I understand that some owner's dogs like to have company by their side the whole time, I don't mind having dogs on the bed! I have a lot of free time, I sometimes photograph a music event but that's about once a month & late at night. I have the odd bit of design work that I do from home, so I can do that whilst caring for your pet(s) but I'm currently available to spend a lot of time with your pet(s) 😊. I have a fenced garden in a detached house where I live with my mum, 18-year-old niece & my Tabby cat called Lady. Lady isn't home all too often, she pops in for food & the odd nap. I'm happy to keep the dog(s) apart from my cats, to chill in different rooms but in all honesty, Lady tends to stay outside or likely at one of our neighbours houses when a dog is around. There's a good walking area in Ladygrove around the back of my house as well as a field. I have plenty of time to care for & play with your pets 😊 plus look after your home if it's a house sitting job. I photograph a music event once a month in Oxford, on a Saturday night. I do the social media, graphic design & phtoography for it, that is done on either my phone or my laptop. I also work the odd mobile bar job at weddings, corporate events etc around Oxfordshire. But mainly I have a lot of spare time, the pet sitting is my main source of income. I love looking after pets & getting to know them more with regular bookings, it warms my soul 🥰. I share my home with my mum & my 19-year-old niece who loves animals too & has started doing her own pet sitting jobs. I'm usually at home on my own in the day in the week until they're back from work. We live in a three bedroom detached house in the estate Ladygrove in Didcot. We have a fenced garden. I have a cat called ladyshe is rarely in, she may pop in for food or the odd nap. I'm happy to keep your pet separate within the rooms to the cats 😊.

As a University student, I have a very flexible routine and so can walk or check up on pets at many points in the day and also have a car so i can make it to more remote areas easily! I will spend time playing with and walking pets in the owners home and my own home, whilst also being prepared to clean up after and feed the pets too! Happy to spend the day socialising at your pets requirements !

About: I’ve always loved dogs and I grew up with them. I would love to have one of my own one day. For now, I’d really love the chance to spend time with a dog and enjoy regular walks together.

About: Being a veterinary nurse gives me the skill set to care for those pets with additional needs, both medical and behavioural. I have experiance with puppies and kittens, from hand rearing to puppy parties. I enjoy care of senior patients with mobility issues or those needing that extra TLC. I work as a veterinary nurse still but on reduced hours so it will be around my hours. When house sitting I will not be taking on nursing shifts at the same time so I can give your pets my full attention. When caring for your pets in your own home I look to keep there routine as normal as possible. I find the key to happy and settled pets is ensuring there routine isn't disruptive.
