Claire
Providing Pet Sitting in the Little Milton, United Kingdom
UK Professional Couple Wishing To See More Of The World!
Fabulous, Faultless Five Star sitters! We were treated to daily photos, videos and anecdotes about our much loved pet, which our whole family could access, and we had absolute confidence that our dog was being loved and cared for as always. It was as if a family member was at home. Local friends saw them out on walks and our dog always looked happy, under control and well cared for. We didn’t meet this lovely couple unfortunately, but they were totally reliable and communicated efficiently to advise of their arrival and departure times, they are super organised and didn’t ask any unnecessary questions. The house was spotless on our return despite the fact our dog moults at this time of the year, all areas were thoroughly clean and tidy, and we had a helpful handover note. We couldn’t have asked for more, and don’t hesitate to recommend Claire & Mike!

Trustworthy and reliable couple
Steven and Ariel were amazing house sitters. They came to meet my husband beforehand to introduce themselves, which I thought was nice and reassuring. They sent us frequent updates and photos of our lovely Fluffy. The kids and i enjoyed seeing what she was up to… she looked very happy with Steven and Ariel in the photos and videos and I could see they were treating her very well. Once we got home Fluffy was relaxed. They left our home exactly as they found it, plus they cleaned up a pan I had nearly destroyed and left a beautiful floral display. We were very pleased as they made our few days away worry free and the process was effortless. We would be happy for them both to stay in our home and look after Fluffy again.
Libby
Providing Pet Sitting in the Little Milton, United Kingdom
CLEAN & CARING housesitters looking for furry or feathered friends :)
Libby and Adel did a fantastic job looking after our cat Kyan while we were away for 2 weeks! The flat was spotless when we came home and we had lots of cute photos and updates while we were away. They were very self-sufficient too. We felt so comfortable knowing that Libby and Adel were looking after our cat. We hope they will be able to sit for us in future! Thank you so much :)
Tim

Superb house and cat sitter. We had no qualms at all in leaving Tim in charge. Toby loved him and everything in the house was as we left it.
Robin
Providing Pet Sitting in the Little Milton, United Kingdom
Mature travellers from Australia with extensive housesitting experience
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Robin and Ola looked after our pets so well with plenty of regular updates, photos and videos. Our house was also immaculate when we returned. Don’t hesitate to book them for your next sit!
Michael
Providing Pet Sitting in the Little Milton, United Kingdom
I'm a photographer and animal lover *Triple vaccinated*
This was our first experience of using a housesitter and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Michael. He was very easy to get on with, reliable and kept us fully informed at every stage of the process. We appreciated him asking if we wanted updates on our pets while we were away and it was reassuring to be sent photos of our cat who clearly made friends very quickly! The house was spotlessly clean and tidy when we returned home - all in all Michael made it a very good experience for us.
Duane
Providing Pet Sitting in the Little Milton, United Kingdom
Principal Engineer/Application Developer, travellers, ramblers, pet lovers.
Duane is the best and it’s amazing how much our typically shy cats have grown to love him. Our cats are so cute that typically people just want to eat them all up!
Natalie
Providing Pet Sitting in the Little Milton, United Kingdom
Responsible, clean, professional Artist, looking for quiet time to write.
Natalie was wonderful. Left our kitty and house in a lovely state. comms were easy and received updates daily. She was kind enough to stock up on some pet food tins as we'd run out, which we appreciated greatly.
Elizabeth
Providing Pet Sitting in the Little Milton, United Kingdom
Industrious & practical couple looking to provide peace of mind to owners
This was our first time with housesitters and Libby and Peter were amazing! They were reassuring before we left, came to meet us and the dogs and arrived at the house soon after we'd left. They sent photos and messages while we were away which put us at ease. The dogs loved them and were very well cared for. The house was exactly how we left it, the plants were well looked after and they had even washed the bedding and towels. Would definitely recommend Libby and Peter.
Wendy
Providing Pet Sitting in the Little Milton, United Kingdom
Caring, Reliable and Respectful Professionals who love pets, people and travel.
We were so pleased and grateful to have Wendy and Mike here. They are very experienced and totally reliable. Wendy sent us copious photos of our dogs who were in fine form on our return and sad to see our sitters leave! Wendy and Mike are a delightful and interesting couple and we would wholeheartedly recommend them.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Tonya
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Anne
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
LEANNE
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Paige
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Alison
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
gretchen
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Paola
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Deb
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
Nancy
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.

We have used Sarah regularly (several times a week) for over a year to walk our two terriers. She has been reliable and professional throughout this time. She understands our dogs different needs and reports back if anything is not right - one of our dogs is elderly, doesn’t like the heat and can have good and bad days. Sarah meets her needs and works with what each day brings!
Sarah has been taking my two dogs out for walks, generally at least 3 days per week, for about 18 months now, they love their walks with Sarah, on the odd occasion that I am home when she arrives I see how excited they are to see her! She is really conscientious, on wet days she makes sure to towel dry them when dropping them back home & always makes sure they have clean water after their walks. She is really flexible, often taking them out with very short notice! I highly recommend Sarah!!
Sarah is amazing! She is a real dog person, professional, knowledgeable, and adaptable. We would have anyone else looking after our dog, who she has looked after since he was a puppy. She has a background as a veterinary nurse, and cares for other animals on her farm. Our dog cannot wait to leave when she comes to collect him, and he loves staying with when we are away.
Sarah is amazing. She really does deliver a professional service. We have two ex-hunting rescue dogs who are lovely but both have their quirks - she looks after them brilliantly and they absolutely adore their time with her. She's walked them regularly for the past year and even brings some of her dogs over for "play dates" so that ours can have some doggie social fun in a safe setting at home. She's mega reliable, super professional and always gets back to you promptly. She has even helped us out when we've been stuck and has generally been a godsend. I am v picky with who looks after our two boys, but will happily recommend her 100%. If you are at all thinking of getting any help with looking after any of your pets then she is definitely the answer!
Have recently started sending our 20 month old pup to Sarah for extra socialisation and some additional training around livestock and we couldn't be happier. Sarah was recommended to us by a friend, has great general knowledge of dogs as well as being a trained vetinary nurse gives us absolute faith our dog is in good hands for the day. Seen a great improvement in her already and would not hesitate to recommend.
A true professional service with a real person committed to dog welfare and wellbeing. She fully understood the individual client needs and I was thoroughly confident in leaving GEORGE in her capable hands. I have a weekly walk and check up done on the days I'm at work and GEORGE has never been happier. I have tried other dog walkers and never have I felt so comfortable leaving my little boy with a non family member. I would whole heartedly recommend this service.
Received a very good service. My dogs were treated very well. They were happy to go off for their walk. A very professional service offered and I will certainly be using them again
Fantastic service! Sarah is really good with Monkey (Shar Pei) and he loves going there.
We are absolutely delighted with Sarah and her fantastic dog walking service. She is so professional and Rupert adores her.
Excellent professional, friendly service. 100% reliable and would use them every time!
Animals at Home Oxford Ltd
Recent Reviews:
Can't recommend Estelle highly enough. She's looked after my 3 cats for a few years and they adore her. She always goes above and beyond. Latest escapade was one going missing and she helped with the search effort while I was away including trawling social media. She found him in a different village (he'd got in a car...) and was off to scan his microchip and rescue him. Get photos and messages to update what antics they've been up to while I'm away. Absolute find this lady.
We sincerely appreciate Estelle : her care and support to our baby and to us. besides the very professional and quality service , She really cared about the ones she looks after . I used many top rated Vet and service providers all over the world , It gave me great comfort that Estelle was here for our baby at late stage of her life and with her in her last mile of the journey. We would recommend Estelle to anyone.
We booked Estelle for a pet courier service during a time our family needed to quarantine. We could not have hoped for a better service. Estelle had excellent communication throughout and completely put us at ease with her professionalism throughout. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Animals at Home or Estelle.Thank you!
Estelle is a life-saver in terms of pet sitting. Simple as that. Our kittens love her! We have entrusted them in her care both when they were tiny and a bit older, on both occassions for a week or longer. We came back to happy, healthy kittens, and even got some kitten photos for us when we were away. She is very professional and just a lovey person you can easily let into your house and entrust your pets with. We cannot recommend Estelle's pet care enough!
Estelle is truly exceptional. She has cared for our cat on many occasions for as long as two to three weeks and every time we return to find a very happy cat. She takes incredible care of our cat and has also left our home neat and tidy. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone in need of a cat sitter!
I can't recommend Animals at Home, Oxford highly enough. I am extremely happy with the level of care my cats received while I was away; they were not just fed and watered, but Estelle also spent time playing with them and giving them attention. She also messaged me everyday with an update about them which really reassured me that they were doing well, meaning I could enjoy my holiday more. Will definitely be using Estelle's services again in the future - thank you.
I have been using animals at Home in Oxford for some time and Estelle provides a fantastic level of customer service. Her professional, friendly and warm approach combined with her love of animals provides a great support when leaving Molly our Tibetan Terrier. I would highly recommend her services.
Estelle recently looked after my “squad” of 4 cats, of which 3 are just 8 months old. So, potential for cat chaos .... She dealt calmly with my paranoia (first time leaving them!), and sent photos and updates. I returned to 4 happy cats, relaxed and well fed. Great, attentive, warm and genuine service from someone who clearly loves animals and has empathy for their ‘owners’.
Absolutely impossible to get hold of over the phone. Didn't reply even when I filled in a form on her website explaining that my dog needed transporting from Oxford to Witney for weekly hydrotherapy as she has degenerative myelopathy. Finally got a text from her after texting her saying she'd get back to me, but she never did. Disgraceful.
Estelle is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and my cat Charlie adores her! I never have to worry about leaving him in her care. I would highly recommend Estelle's services.
Pixie Lee Pet Services
Recent Reviews:
I am delighted with the services we receive from Pixie Lee Pet Services. Lee walks my dog twice a week, shares photos and videos and it is great to see that all of the dogs have such a great time. It is challenging to put our trust in someone else when it comes to the welfare of our furry friends, but I am so happy to have found Lee and I feel very comfortable and completely trust her to look after my dog each time she takes him out.
Lee is an excellent dog walker. She is reliable, friendly and my dog loves going out on her walks, with the other dogs.
From the initial contact right through to the first walk, I felt reassured and happy that Pixie Lee was the right choice. Lee was thoroughly professional and her considered approach to taking on Granger was enough to convince me that she would be well looked after and that I would receive a reliable service. Granger clearly loves her walks with Lee and the other dogs which means I can head to work knowing that she’s being socialised and exercised in a safe and loving environment. On top of all this, the communication has been great too, so I’ll happily recommend Pixie Lee Pet Services to anyone looking for a trusted dog walker in Oxford! :)
Hi my name is Ariel and I am a very demanding cat. Lee looks after me when my mum is away and she is really good! She plays with me and she walk me out (unless it’s raining and in that case she cuddles me!). My mum is really happy with the care provided and she would recommend her to anyone who would ever need a trustful person to look after their beloved animals!
Lee has been an incredible help since we adopted Basil, our retired greyhound. She has made it possible for a working couple to keep their dog happy and healthy; Basil clearly loves her. Lee has been flexible with regards to walking arrangements and has always proved reliable. She clearly cares for the animals she looks after and had proved really helpful in monitoring any health concerns we had about Basil. We also love the social media updates Lee posts from Basil’s walks! Overall, we couldn’t recommend Pixie Lee Pet Services highly enough and feel very grateful to Lee for all her work.
Lee has been walking my dog for over a year now. She is 100% reliable, understanding and amazing with my dog. She has never let us down, no matter the weather and is super flexible when it comes to organising extra walks or re-scheduling planned ones. I’d recommend her to anyone. Put simply, she’s brilliant and a total professional.
Lee is an amazing dog walker. She is very professional and takes such good care of Riley. She runs a reliable service and has been very understanding and flexible with our schedules. Riley loves her walks and has a great time with her group. Thanks Lee! Highly recommended.
I can't say enough good things about Lee. We have been using for for several years. She has helped us with training our rescue dog who was very reactive. He now is really well behaved and able to go on group walks thanks to Lee's patient and thoughtful work with him. She is wholly professional, 100% reliable and a lovely person to boot!
Lee is quite simply Excellent. I’ve had dogs all my life and Lee is exceptional - I always have peace of mind, our dog is always happy, relaxed, exercised & safe. Lee is always reliable, friendly, hugely professional, completely trustworthy and really cares for the dogs in her care. Once Lee has cared for your dog you won’t look anywhere else, ever.
Pixie Lee Pet Services are amazing! We were a bit nervous to send off our pup at first but needn't be at all. Our dog absolutely loves Lee and the other dogs and we feel safe, and happy to send him off with her. Lee is professional, reliable and responsive and has a wonderful warm and calm attitude to clients on two as well as four legs. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Five stars from the entire family ⭐️
Little Paws Professional Dog Day Care & Boarding
Recent Reviews:
Excellent service. Cares so much for all our animals, including 4 dogs and 2 chickens. Very trustworthy and professional. I'm so glad we've found Little Paws.
We have been using Little Paws to do puppy visits and short walks for our new puppy. Carla is always punctual and I love getting a photo / video from every visit. She has been great at giving Raffie lots of different experiences - playing in the garden, walk to the park, training on the long lead, walking with one of her own dogs etc. I am more than happy to recommend Little Paws and will be using them for doggy day care and home boarding in the future.
We checked our dog Basil in for day care recently. We were nervous as it was his first time away from us but Carla reassured us. She did an amazing job with him, introduced him to her dogs and kept us updated via WhatsApp with messages and videos. Would definitely reccomend!
If you have a dog who needs day care or a boarding service - this is the place you want to send them, The lady that runs it is very nice and polite , the dogs have a very nice time here! And they have a big garden witch the dogs can run around 👍 they deserve the 5 star ! …
Our little dog Mabel, 9 year old terrier of this parish has enjoyed staying with Carla and her family in the past and is now very excited that she will now stay in a 4* doggy hotel 🐕🦴🐕🦴 …
Highly recommend Little Paws great service very professional and looked after our dog Spot for 3 weeks whilst I was in Bali, we got regular updates and our guy had a great time !
Blu Collar Boarding
Recent Reviews:
Nik has looked after our young sprocker for two week-long stays. We are so glad we found Nik. She takes the dogs on fantastic and varied walks, shares lots of gorgeous photos via her Instagram, and was very understanding of our dog's more teenaged moments. It gave us such peace of mind to know our boy was staying in a home from home, playing with lots of new friends, and having lots of human contact. We would never choose a kennel over this. We highly recommend!
Too many dog w few workers around. We sent our dog for a day boarding. It has a capacity of 50 for overnight and 40 day boarders. There were about 50ish dogs there that day. At the morning drop off, there were two ladies working. When we came for the pickup about 1700, only one lady there. It was really noisy w many dogs barking. My dog probably thought he’s visiting a dog psychiatry for that day, really skittish afterward.
Our little dog waits by the car to go to Niks in the morning, his favourite day of the week. He sleeps for Britain at home the following day- really useful to get office work done. Nik takes them on stellar long walks in all weathers and has an obvious soft spot for the dogs and their ways. Dog has boarded more than once to cover family matters arising. Nik is fantastic!
Took my dog at very short notice and after three day stay I’ve never seen him sleep so soundly. Nik has a lovely set up so I’m sure your dog will have no complaints and would rate the stay 5 stars themselves
Nik truly does care for every dog that she is looking after and takes them on lovely walks. She also gives regular updates on how your pup is getting on. 100% recommend
I had an excellent overnight experience at Blu Collar Boarding with my two dogs (plus Blu the Dalmatian is a lovely companion!). Brilliant value, plus Nik took pictures on the dogs playing on their walks which was a lovely touch - a home from home for doggies!
Wonderful place! Wouldn't consider sending my dog anywhere else now that I've found this gem, he is looked after so well, taken on the best long walks and you can tell he loves going there - thanks ever so much Nik!
Going to Nik's is the favorite part of my dog's week - he absolutely loves it there.
Cumnor Dog Lodge
Recent Reviews:
Our dog visits Cumnor Dog Lodge weekly for daycare and also used the boarding service occasionally over the last few years. Always had a great experience, and dogs have plenty of space to run around and play. It is easy to reach out to the owner, who is always happy to provide updates and pictures of our furry friend. Marc is very experienced with animals. Our dog is always excited to visit Cumnor and returns home very happy and tired after.
It's nice seeing a few animals around the area, and it's generally nice to walk, no dogs needed. There's a spot with a great view around the place.
There aren't many people I'd gladly leave my dogs with all day, but Mark has a wonderful garden/compound where the pups can run free and have fun, along with day beds in the shade and an indoor area.
There are NO photos of the dogs overnight boarding rooms. A proper dog lover would not let a dog stay in a place that does not show what the dogs accommodation is like!!!!! I'm shocked at the stars given when there are no photos of the dogs accommodation which should matter to a real dog lover!!!!!!
My dog goes every day, Marc is very good with all his charges. My dog enjoys goes there and mixing with his friends.
Our dog loves it there great for day visitors and over nights.
Very friendly and relaxed. Good management and reasonable price. Highly recommended.
Fantastic place. Our pet loves going to play
Excellent day care for your four legged friend
Katie's Pet Care and Cuddles
Recent Reviews:
Katie is absolutely amazing: my fussy and needy cats always had a blast with her. I am confident and relieved that, when I have to travel, Katie will take great care of my cat and give me regular updates. Definitely recommended!
Katie was very professional and caring, she was very attentive from the first visit to the last. We were sent regular updates whilst on holiday and were able to enjoy our time without worrying about our cat. I would recommend her services to any pet owners.
Katie did a great job looking after our exotic fish this Christmas. We were keen to find someone experienced in animal care to look after our fish as they require specialist conditions to thrive. Katie ended up being the perfect person for the job. Our initial email correspondence was very reassuring. She answered our questions promptly and in both a friendly and professional manner. We also appreciated her coming to visit the fish before we went away. This gave us time to go through our requirements in detail. During our time away, Katie visited our fish daily and gave us regular updates on how well they were doing which we appreciated. Katie went above and beyond to care for our fish, and knowing someone so experienced was looking after them really lightened the worry. We can't recommend her enough and definitely want to use her services again.
The Paw Smith Pet Care
Recent Reviews:
We were looking for someone to take our boy out for a couple of walks a week during the work week and we are so glad we chose The Paw Smith gang! Katherine was more than helpful and introduced us at a meet to one of her lovely ladies Claire who takes our little man out for us and is now a firm favourite of Dobby! He absolutely loves going on his weekly adventures with Claire and has an amazing time with her and always comes back with a smile on his face! And she sends us wonderful snaps of him on her walks with him. We would recommend your services to anyone who would ask ☺️ We have included one of our favourite photos of Dobby Claire has taken as proof of how much of a great time he has 🥰
We use The Paw Smith twice a week for Lionel and Bella and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Despite a rather wet few months the dogs are always left clean (which is a miracle since our lab will jump in any water she can find). Clare is our regular dog walker in Botley and I can’t recommend her more, our dogs aren’t the best behaved and she is so patient with them. P.S. It makes my day coming home to the little notes Clare leaves us about her adventures with them. Thankyou Katherine and Clare ☺️
My dog adores her time with our Paw Smith dog walker. I know she gets put first every visit and gets spoiled rotten with love and affection. As a company they have been so reliable, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
Katherine has been looking after my dog, Red, regularly (twice a week) for over a year now. She's always treated Red like he's her own dog, which shows in all of Red's interactions with her as he absolutely loves her! My dog is my world, and I know Red is in good hands with her. She's 100% reliable, really friendly, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.
We came across The Paw Smith when looking for a bit of help on busy days walking our two Cardigan corgi pups. Meeting Katherine and Clare made me feel super comfortable right away. Both our dogs took to them straight away, and Clare was really receptive to hearing about each of the dog’s quirks and tendencies to make sure they were well looked after and enjoyed their walks. Six months on, we are absolutely thrilled with how Clare looks after our babies. They are always overjoyed to see her; they come back from every walk full of smiles and tail wags (and thankfully very tired)! Clare has also stayed overnight with them and done a couple daycare visits, and those have gone brilliantly as well. Recommend unreservedly!
I have met both Katherine and Sophie and they are both lovely. When I get a new dog walker for Archie and Dillon, I pay a lot of attention to how my dogs react to being walked by a particular person, how enthusiastic they are to go and walk again with that person and I can state, without any doubt, that my dogs absolutely love their walks with Pawsmith and this is a reflection on how they are treated during the walks. I can therefore say that I would recommend Pawsmith to anyone who needs a dog walking service
Katherine walks my two dogs 3 times a week for an hour. They both love her and have enjoyed their walks over the past few months. I have profound mobility issues and this is a life line that has enabled me to keep both dogs. I really like the way that Katherine walks the dogs separately without “a pack”. One of my dogs can be very anxious but I haven’t seen that at all with Katherine. Would totally recommend.
The Paw Smith came highly recommended by a friend, so imagine my delight when I heard they were expanding into Oxford! Katherine and Carly send me photos/short videos and leave a note which says how the walk has gone. My Labrador has been on 3 walks with The Paw Smith so far and it is really lovely to come home from work to a calm and well stimulated pup. Therefore, I too, can highly recommend this company … I only wish they could walk my boy every day!!
Katherine is simply amazing and we wouldn’t think of ever using anyone else. She takes such amazing care of Rae when she house sits for us, who adores spending time with her.
Very professional and reliable service - highly recommended! Katherine has looked after our cat Luna a few times now and I have nothing but good things to say. Everything from the communication at the start and throughout, to the very professional invoice at the end was fantastic. Katherine kept us up to date with pictures and videos (as requested) and Luna loved her company. We will certainly be using the Paw Smith services again. From Hollie, George & Luna xx
Happy Tails Oxford
Recent Reviews:
We had such a wonderful experience with Yvonne. She looked after our cockapoo Woody so brilliantly and took him on some amazing walks. What was most reassuring for us was that he was so excited to see Yvonne and the other dogs every time we dropped him off (or Yvonne kindly picked him up) and he was always suitably tired (but happy) when he came home again. Yvonne offers a very professional but friendly service and she went above and beyond to accommodate our schedules. We will definitely be using her services again in the future and would highly recommend her business to anyone else in the area.
When I found Yvonne a couple of years ago all my dog-care worries vanished! I was only prepared to leave Peanut with the best, and Yvonne and her family are just that. Yvonne is kind, always ready to help, professional, and flexible, and the dogs quickly become part of this wonderful human and doggy family. Her service is worth every penny. Peanut was clearly loved, and as an older dog Yvonne identified and catered for her needs whether she was there for a day or overnight. Now we have Mimi the puppy, who adores Yvonne and her family, loves running around the beautiful, big, safe garden, and playing with the doggy friends she has made. She is now looking forward to some of those fabulous walks! Thank you for everything!
We were so lucky to happen upon Happy Tails when we moved to Oxford two years ago. Yvonne has been walking and minding Coco regularly since then. She is flexible, reliable and a genuine dog lover. Coco is always excited to see her and her family along with her many doggy pals. I highly recommend Yvonne and the excellent service she provides.
Yvonne has been walking our dog for the last year or so, and we couldn’t be happier with the service she provides. She’s super with animals, and it’s clear she has a real love for them. It’s obvious our dog loves the walks with Yvonne - we can tell from the wonderful update photos Yvonne sends us! She’s excellent value for money. We couldn’t recommend her enough!
We were so lucky to find Yvonne - she is reliable, communicative, extremely flexible and most importantly so clearly loves our dog. He eagerly waits by the door the days she takes him out, and the photos she sends us every time prove he’s loving every minute. My one warning is if you are thinking of using Yvonne you must be emotionally strong enough to deal with the fact your dog may love her a tiny bit more than he loves you!!
Our dog Holly adores Yvonne and her lovely family. Yvonne takes her on wonderful walks and Holly always comes back well exercised and happy. She has also stayed overnight very happily with Yvonne. We have found Yvonne to be absolutely reliable and flexible. We are very lucky to have found Happy Tails for Holly!
I can not recommend Happy Tails highly enough. Yvonne is extremely professional dog-manager and my Fox-terrier Paddy absolutely adored both day-care & longer term boarding with she & her family. The location of Happy Tails, on the outer Oxford border, is also idyllic for dogs. There is plenty of free space to run around & Yvonne takes the dogs on long walks & sends back photos showing the activities & adventures. I will be forever grateful for the love & care Happy Tails has given us.
Yvonne is amazing with all dogs. She was always very responsive and Poppy loved going there. She always came home exhausted which is always a good reference to how much she enjoyed herself. I always knew she was likely having a better time at Yvonnes than I was doing whatever I needed to do. Five star review! Thanks Yvonne.
Our dalmatian Dolly always has a wonderful time with Yvonne, who is an extremely caring and reliable dog sitter. Dolly can be anxious away from her family, but she always settles very quickly with Yvonne and absolutely loves her big garden and the wonderful long walks. Thoroughly recommended.
We couldn’t ask for a better dog Walker than Yvonne: she communicates brilliantly with us to set up the walks for the week and sends us amazing pictures so we get to see just how much fun our dog Boris has had. No matter the weather Yvonne can be relied on to give your dogs a good walk. Her help whilst we have been working from home and stuck on the phone all day has been a godsend. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Our beloved dog Olly had a great holiday with the hosts that Jeannie and Amanda matched for him, he came back so relaxed. We've already booked his next holiday. I would recommend this service to anyone and I'm so glad I found Barking Mad. Thank you Jeannie and Amanda, I know you went the extra mile when we forgot Olly's favourite raw hide chews and you picked up some on the way to his holiday, I noticed in the picture you sent me :-)
Jeannie is a lovely lady, she placed my beloved dogs with wonderful host's who looked after them as there own. I decided to become a host my self now and I love it in fact I fell in love with one particular dog and fingers crossed I will look after her again sometime this year. Barking Mad is everything you could want for your beloved dogs.
First time using Barking Mad and could not be happier with the service provided. Jeannie was extremely helpful, reassuring and punctual when collecting and dropping off our dog. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
I've really enjoyed being a host for Barking Mad. I've looked after a number of lovely dogs now and they have all been very well behaved! The support from the Barking Mad team was brilliant and everything went very smoothly. I can't wait for my next doggie visit!
Pepper really enjoys his holidays with Barking Mad. The service is excellent and he comes home in great shape having obviously had a great time.
Jeannie and Amanda arrange fabulous holidays for dogs, they are professional and caring in every way ensuring your dog is really well looked after.
Thank you!!

This is a wonderful company run by a wonderful person. I can’t thank Alex enough for the flexibility she has given us with our dog Pep. Pep always stampedes her way into the house of the carer, Sue. Alex always goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes well. There’s loads of reviews on their website but I thought I should put one here. They’re a great outfit.
