Cat Sitters in Great Milton

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!

Well the guinea pig came home alive so will definitely use again. Joke a side, I rang on the Saturday and managed to get booked in for the Monday for 8 days. they were very welcoming, the radio was on for all the small animals they were looking after and very clean.

Always worry about places like this, but this is like the perfect little place for your small babies. We left 3 rats here, they were safe, happy and I think they got treated better than they would at home!

Oxford Small Pet Boarding did a fantastic job looking after my daughters Conure while we had 2 weeks holiday in the summer. Their communication is excellent, they answered all our questions, let us visit in advance and nothing was to much trouble. They are easy to get to, once you find them, and the animals are kept in a clean and secure unit. Conrad was very happy there and his cage was spotless when we collected him, in fact he sulked at being back he was so well looked after! Their prices are very reasonable too. I highly recommend them, and hope they won't be too full in future to have our bird back!!

Oxford Small Pet Boarding is a brilliant board, Megan and her husband are lovely and welcoming. Completely put us at ease when we dropped our bunny off. Lovingly looked after and given time to run around, our bunny was very happy staying here and she's come back happier than ever and probably missing the grass under her paws! I'll definitely be using Oxford Small Pet Boarding again especially as it's such great value for money. You can see they have a passion for making sure your pet has the best time. Home away from home!

Absolutely delighted with the care my 2 guinea pigs enjoyed on the several occasions we have left them here. Lovely clean cages and all care personalised. Megan loves her little furry guests and treats them as if they are her own. Can't recommend highly enough.

We have left our two guinea pigs here a couple of times and are really happy with the care they have received. Megan was happy for me to come and check the place out beforehand and was very knowledgeable answering all my questions (as guinea pigs are fragile). We now refer to it as the guinea pig spa!

I am so pleased to have found Oxford Small Pet Boarding. My four ducks recently enjoyed a week being looked after by Megan. They had a super run and duck house and Megan looked after them all with such care and attention. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent communication with customers. Highly recommend.

Thank you to Meg and family for looking after our two guinea pigs while we were on holiday. They have come back very happy and settled after their first time away from us. We will certainly be using Oxford Small Pet Boarding in the future.

I've used this service twice and been thoroughly impressed both times. For two male guinea pigs, the cage size was great, and they came home looking well fed and happy. Drop-off and pick-up also couldn't have been any easier and the option to leave behind transport cages/boxes behind is a bonus.

Meg took wonderful care of my daughters' two pet rabbits. It was lovely to relax on holiday knowing that they were in safe hands and also that she ensured that they had outdoor time running around and not cooped up in a cage.

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.

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 ⭐️

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 !

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.

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

Always very happy to leave Otis at Archway Kennels. He has a great time and the interaction with so many other dogs is so good for him. He had a bath before he was picked up and felt lovely and soft. I always recommend Archway to fellow dog owners who ask about kennels.

Superb kennels with lovely staff . My dogs came back super happy and rested . Very impressed we will definitely take them here again

First time our Border puppy had stayed in kennels and he had the best time! Thank you so much for making his first stay a super experience for him and for us. Highly recommended. Great value for money

Brilliant place! Our dogs were so happy here. The staff took such good care of them. One of our dogs was extremely anxious but the team here managed to make a connection with her. The Facebook photos really gave us peace of mind. This will always be our first port of call.

1st time I've put my dog in kennels so was a bit concerned how he would be. Had no need to worry, the team are brilliant and go that extra mile by posting photos on Facebook. He had the time of his life and I think he would have happily stayed there.

Thank you everyone at Archway for saving our Christmas. We were let down by a dog sitter for Christmas week and you were able to squeeze our cockerpoo, Connie in at the last minute. She loved her stay and we’ve never known such a friendly and warm bunch of people. Connie has never been so content after a week away from home. Thank you. !! 👍😀😀😀❤️

My 6 month old cocker spaniel recently stayed for 4 nights as a taster for a 2 week stay in the summer. He settled in really well and seemed surprised to see us to go home! He clearly had a lovely time and was well looked after and I am no worries at all about him staying during our summer holidays. The staff are fantastic and it's great to have someone to call if we need assistance for any length of time.

Tara and Leo are always full of joy when we take them to Archways. Staff are very professional and friendly. It is a truly 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Archway are the best! My dogs LOVE going on their holibobs there and always return home completely tired out from playing with the other dogs, many of whom they now know very well. They love all the fusses the staff give them and the photos posted are so fun, it’s clear they’re having a ball. Their most recent stay was because I had to go into hospital and then unexpectedly had to stay in hospital for longer than planned. Archway were so accommodating and kind about it and kept both my pups for all of the extra time even though it hadn’t been booked from the start. It was a big relief and reassurance to know they were being so well looked after during a stressful time. Archway really go above & beyond, I recommend them to everyone.

Our dogs love staying here and they are always very well looked after . We have moved from Oxford now but still use the kennels when we visit family if we can get in but they are usually very busy which says it all! The staff are lovely and I never worry leaving my dogs here. Would thoroughly recommend .

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.

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.

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.
