House Sitting in Vale of White Horse

“Hannah was amazing with Nova, who is a very shy and nervous dog. She was so patient and gave her the time and space she needed to settle and feel safe. As this was the first time we had left Nova with someone outside our close family for a full week, Hannah’s daily updates, photos and video, were incredibly reassuring. It was lovely to see that Nova was very quickly happy and comfortable in her care. Hannah also left the house sparkling clean and, most thoughtfully of all, she waited for our return home on a Sunday night to make sure Nova had her dinner and that we did not have any issues with our return flight. Hannah's attention and dedication to making us and our dog feel reassured during our time apart was beyond expectation.”

“We could not have been more happy with Kaye. She has been a wonderful companion to our old and crumbly dog whilst we stayed away for a week. He needs to take regular medications and be managed very carefully and Kaye was fantastic. She gave us regular updates which was very reassuring. And most importantly our dog was healthy and happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Kaye to look after your pets.”

About: Hi, welcome to our page! We’re Luke and Jo, a caring and experienced pet-loving duo who have both grown up surrounded by animals. Jo has adored all dogs from a young age and has plenty of hands-on experience caring for family and friends’ pets, with a natural ability to read animals’ cues, needs, and values their unique, quirky personalities. Luke has also spent most of his life around animals, particularly cats and dogs, and has a strong interest in dog training. He’s confident teaching basic skills to dogs of any age, loves being active and outdoors, and is comfortable handling larger dogs. For bigger or stronger pets, Luke typically takes the lead on walks due to his strength, while we both provide attentive, loving care. Together, we offer a calm, fun, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, with plenty of love, structure, and enrichment. Jo and Luke both work full time during the week, but we’re readily available for pet care on weekends, with Luke also available on some Fridays. We are occasionally free in the evenings during the week, so please feel free to enquire as we can be flexible! As we don’t currently have pets of our own, or any children, we’re able to be flexible with our time and fully focus on each pet’s routine, needs, and comfort. When caring for your pet, we make them a priority and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, we are always respectful and conscientious. We both value cleanliness and take great care to treat each home as if it were our own, ensuring everything is left secure, tidy, and well looked after. You can trust that your pet and your home will be in safe, responsible hands.

“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.”

“Eve is a star - she is punctual, neat, communicative and follows instructions very well and a lovely person. A very safe pair of hands to look after our Bailey who was very happy to have her for the day! We have already rebooked Eve for house sitting in future. Thanks so much, Eve!”

“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!”

“We are so happy to have had Jessica looking after Teddy Tewkesbury for four days. Jessica has a brilliant personality and was made most welcome by us and Tewksbury. She really loved looking after Teddy and was sorry she could not have stayed with him longer. She kept us fully updated about Teddy while she was with him, totally brilliant service from her. We will definitely be booking Jessica again in the future. Thank you very much Jess, you are a star and Teddy loves you to bits.”

“Edit took excellent care of my sweet but nervous labradoodle for the weekend. Communication was excellent, Snowy immediately took to her and was a fantastic experience end to end. I would definitely use Edit's services again. Five stars.”

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.

About: I have had cats and dogs all through my childhood I’m a caring and reliable animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience looking after dogs/cats, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own personality, so I take the time to build trust, keep routines consistent, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to provide updates for peace of mind while you’re away. I work Full time however I have days I work from home. If I go into work I come home for my lunch breaks as i don’t work far away from my home. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets can relax. Pets are given a quiet space to rest, access to fresh water, regular feeding, and appropriate play, enrichment, and companionship. I adapt care to each pet’s personality, age, and needs — whether they prefer active play or a peaceful environment.

“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!”

“Maria looked after our 10 month old puppy Pippa overnight whilst we were at a wedding. Maria sent several updates whilst we were away and Pippa had a great time! We could really tell how much Maria loved Pippa and loves dogs in general which was really lovely :-) we would definitely recommend booking with Maria!”

“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 :)”
