“So pleased that we found Claire to look after our pup all day while we were away. Communication was very easy and our pup had a great day - would definitely use again!”

About: Hi, I'm Paula and I live in Witney with my husband and my lovely fur baby, Bella. I work from home so I am lucky to enjoy Bella's company most of the day (and cuddling her when she lets me!) I have had a cat since childhood and throughout most of my adult life (I am in my 50's now) and my current and three previous cats were all rescues. I work in administration and am very organised, dedicated and reliable. I can look after you cat(s) before work, during the day, after work and weekends. I wear a 'uniform ' so i do not smell of my cat when I look after yours. I can also offer dog walking service in the evenings and weekends I work from home so can do short cat sitting visits in the morning before work, longer during the day and an hour or so in the evening (or as required) and all weekend. I can offer dog walking services in the evenings and weekends too. I will always fuss your cat first, then do feeding followed by refreshing water bowls and litter trays. I will play with your cat and cuddle them as much or as little as they want.

“Sofia looked after Reya for a morning, and Reya was so happy to see her, she forgot about everyone else when Sofia arrived, even though they had only met once. I was away with work at the time and it was lovely to see the photos in the updates Sofia sent. Thank you so much, we will definitely ask for your help again.”

“Our chihuahua Ziggy really enjoyed being looked after by Kate overnight. She took him for walks and sent us regular updates while we were away. Kate is very reliable and responds quickly during the booking process. We have already booked her again!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through looking after pets of friends and family, as well as caring for my own Cocker Spaniel for the past 3 years. This has included feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship throughout the day. Pets are always welcome in my home and I regularly care for dogs in a calm, safe, and friendly environment. Your dog will never be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I am available for walks at any time and comfortable adapting to different dog personalities and needs, ensuring each pet feels secure and well cared for. I also have a friendly Cocker Spaniel who enjoys the company of other dogs. I’m happy to provide regular photo updates so owners feel reassured while they are away. I work part-time, so I’m often at home during the day. When I’m out, my partner is always home, so your pets are never left alone and always have company. We both really love animals and make sure they get lots of attention, care, and cuddles throughout the day. Your pet will always be in a safe, relaxed, and loving home environment with us 🐾 Your pet will be in a safe, calm and loving home environment with us. They are never left alone and always have company, care and attention throughout the day.We also have a friendly Cocker Spaniel who is great with other dogs, and your pet will have access to a secure garden for fresh air, play and relaxation 🐾

“Lily responded promptly and communicated well, before and during her stay. She is confident with dogs, and clearly loves them. I had no concerns at all, leaving her with my slightly anxious (and sometimes bad-mannered ! ) rescue dog, and he was very relaxed and happy with her. Thank you, Lily”

“Another incredible experience with Holly, who took the very best care of our beloved Casper & Pearl. Holly is incredibly communicative, caring and kind, and we knew our little ones were in the best of hands. That kind of peace of mind is truly priceless!”

About: Hi! I'm a reliable, caring, and active dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have years of experience looking after different breeds, both my own dog and friends dogs in the past. Whether your dog loves long adventures, energetic runs, or a slower paced stroll with plenty of sniffing, I'm happy to tailor every walk to their individual needs. I have access to the beautiful grounds around Estelle Manor, which provide a fantastic setting for safe, varied, and enjoyable walks and runs. From high-energy exercise to relaxed outings, I'll make sure your dog gets the attention and activity that's right for them. Your dog's wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my priority. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while they're with me. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged friend! What to Expect Every dog is different, so I tailor each day to suit their personality, energy level, and routine. Before the Walk I'll arrive on time, make sure your dog is comfortable, and take a few moments to understand how they're feeling that day. Whether they're full of energy or prefer a gentler pace, I'll adapt accordingly. During the Walk Your dog will enjoy a fun, safe, and engaging walk, with plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and exercise. For active dogs, I have access to the beautiful grounds around Estelle Manor, where they can enjoy longer walks or runs. If your dog prefers a slower pace, I'm equally happy to provide a relaxed stroll with lots of attention and enrichment. Care & Attention Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I'll make sure they have fresh water after their walk, clean muddy paws if needed, and give them plenty of affection and reassurance throughout our time together. After the Walk I'll send you an update with photos (if you'd like), letting you know where we went, how your dog got on, and anything you should know. You can expect your dog to return home happy, well exercised, and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic, nervous, young, or senior, I'm committed to providing a reliable, caring, and enjoyable experience tailored to their individual needs every time. I care for every pet as though they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I always take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality, and any specific requirements so I can provide care that's familiar and tailored to their needs. Whether I'm caring for your dog in your home or taking them out for walks, I'll stick to their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medication (if required), and plenty of affection. I believe every dog deserves individual attention, whether they enjoy energetic runs, long countryside walks around the beautiful Estelle Manor grounds, or a calm stroll with lots of time to sniff and explore. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in safe hands. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that gives both you and your pet complete peace of mind.

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up caring for all sorts of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and even tortoises. Looking after animals has always been a natural part of my life, and from a young age I learned how important it is to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I have the most experience with dogs and cats, particularly spaniels, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's going for long walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing company and cuddles, I always make sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I'll treat your pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in caring and reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend 😊 I work in an office in Witney three days a week and from home the other two, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit around your pet's routine. Whether they need an early morning walk, a lunchtime visit, an afternoon stroll, or an evening walk, I'm happy to work around what suits them best. I know how important it is to keep pets in their usual routine, so I'll always do my best to accommodate their needs and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I also offer house sitting, so your pet can stay happy and comfortable in their own home while you're away. I'm happy to travel for house-sitting bookings as long as they're within around a 30-minute commute of Witney. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure when their owners are away, so I always do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. Every pet is different, so I'll take the time to get to know their personality, likes and dislikes, and make sure they're getting the care and attention they're used to. Whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure your pet feels happy and loved while you're away. Having grown up around animals all my life, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building a bond with each pet I look after. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for.

“Hannah was fantastic! I met her a few days before she looked after our cockerpoo Maddie. Maddie loved her and it was obvious from the start that she was friendly and great with dogs. Maddie really liked her. On the day that she looked after her, she sent lots of updates, which I appreciated. They had a great day together… The house was tidy on return and we had a happy dog. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: We’ve had dogs in my family since I was 4, and now living away from my parents i desperately miss them! We’ve had mostly very active spaniels, as well as more spaniels and terriers in my wider family. I’m very dog-orientated, understand the responsibility of looking after a dog, as well as taking into account the personality and sensitivities and needs of each dog individually. I work full time but work from home twice a week, and can be flexible most weekends with enough notice. I’m very keen to help out with dog sitting, or walking as needed. I have a fenced garden which backs onto a very quiet residents’ car park. We have plenty of green spaces and fields nearby. Our small estate is extremely quiet as well.

“I cannot recommend Gemma highly enough. We felt that both our elderly dog and the house were in sensible, reliable hands. She gave us regular updates and left the house absolutely spotless - a wonderful service and a credit to Rover.”

About: I have always loved dogs and had my own dogs. I unfortunately live by myself now so I haven’t got a dog now. I miss having that friend, so I want to help out as much as I can. I am a teacher so daytimes may be trickier but I’ll do my best. I am more available at weekends. I can be free most nights too. I won’t tend to have dogs at my house as I have no garden. But if you are happy, I absolutely can have them. I own my house. Some people may not want me to do this, but if you allow it, I can for sure. I will look after your dog with all the love and care I would for my own. And I am very respectful of homes. I used to be a nanny and still occasionally do that, so I understand looking after the home as well.

“Tim was great with our pets (1 dog and 2 cats) - they were much more settled being at home compared to kennels/catteries. Tim is warm, friendly and wonderful with animals. I would recommend him to my friends for house sitting and drop-in visits.”

“Teddy was very happy to go back to Jennifer’s house and he seems to have had a lovely time staying with her. Jennifer was easy to communicate with and accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Thank you.”

Natalie L.

“Hollie took great care of our big older dog for nearly a week. He had some specific medical needs and she followed those wonderfully. She was also so considerate and tidy sitting him at our home. Thanks for taking such good care of him, Hollie!”

Arjun D.

“Cinthya has been wonderful! We have three dogs, one of which is particularly challenging, but Cinthya has real 'dog sense' and gave ours the space and time needed to let her defences down. You can tell she understands dogs and connects with them, with the end result that we and the dogs were very very happy! Would highly recommend!”

Amy J.

“Ines was punctual, calm, and cool. She has a presence that is grounding for animals and humans alike - Nuka was quickly at ease and physically comfortable with her. They walked, played, and I got lovely pictures of Nuka fast asleep on the couch. Highly recommended.”

Julia W.

“As always, Kaye has taken great care of our elderly Labrador, Cally, while we have been away. Kaye is a very kind and gentle carer for Cally, who clearly loves her and is always happy to see her and have her ‘take charge’ (as are we). Kaye looks after our home and our pet extremely well, enabling us to relax and feel reassured while we are away. We look forward very much to having her back to look after Cally next month.”

Suzy & Ian M.

“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!”
