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.
“We love Claire looking after Taz. We have a pup camera but we haven’t checked it once as we know he is safe hands with Claire. Professional, friendly and our dog loves her; will continue to use Claire whenever needed :)”
“Sofia looked after our cat Raja; whilst we were nervous about leaving her, Sophia made us feel at ease with regular updates and it's clear Raja enjoyed her staying! I would highly recommend Sofia to anyone looking for pet sitting services 😊”

“I cannot recommend Holly highly enough! We came back to extremely happy cats, having received lots of lovely photographs and messages, and a perfect house. Thank you as always Holly :) xx”

“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 🐾

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.
“Lily was amazing with Leo. They became friends immediately and Leo had very nice walk with her too. I am recommending her to any dog lover who want the best care for their dogs. Thank you Lily ??”


“Lovely guy, very calm & pleasant. Met Tim prior to him staying which we really liked. Truffle seemed to take well to him too. Left the house nice & clean & didn’t feel we worried at all during our weekend away. Thank you Tim :)”

“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: 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.
“Nicholas was brilliant at taking Winnie out early due to warm weather and nothing was to much trouble. Winnie is a bundle of energy and needs alot of attention and Nicholas adapted to supporting her engery with no fuss! Thanks again for looking after her and my house 🏠”


“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!”

“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.”

“Amelia was amazing , coming to spend the day with our very needy dog. She kept him company, fed and walked him and when we returned after a whole day he was calm and happy. Thank you we will definitely call upon you again. 5*”

“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!”
“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!”

“Once again Kaye has been wonderful with the dogs. She has taken great care of them over the last few days as well as taking care of our home. Dogs fully walked, fed and happy on our return. Wouldn’t hesitate to book Kaye again. Thank you”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life - growing up in the countryside with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, tortoises, and even snakes! My experience also includes working as a nanny, where I cared for the family’s horses, dogs, and cats, from daily mucking out to riding and routine care. Compassionate, patient, and genuinely animal-obsessed, I always put the wellbeing and comfort of your pets first. As a pet parent myself to a working cocker spaniel and a cat, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. With me, your pets will be cared for just as lovingly as my own. I work full time, but work from home three days a week, so can be flexible. I have my own car, so I can come to you. I have a fenced garden, which is secure. I live in a cottage with my dog and cat. I am extremely tidy and will always clean up after myself.

Gina was fabulous with Willow, we had not left her all day before and It was so reassuring knowing Gina was with her. We got photos and videos through the day, she loved Willow and we would recommend highly. We will be using Gina again as Willow had the happiest day and she cared her for as if she was her own puppy 🥰😍

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred West Oxfordshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Oxfordshire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
