Maeve

Hello! I’m Maeve, a 23-year-old animal lover from the Isle of Wight, now living in Oxfordshire. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, having grown up with dogs and cats. My black lab, Charlie, and two cats, Willow and Bear, are part of the family, and I extend that same love and care to all animals. My experience includes volunteering with a puppy care and training organization, where I learned about canine behavior, and six months of hands-on experience in vet care, working with dogs of all ages.

I offer dog and house sitting, including overnight stays, to ensure your pets are comfortable at home. I’m experienced with all breeds and sizes, from small terriers to large, energetic dogs. With over a year of dog-sitting experience, I provide attentive care, ensuring your dogs are well-exercised, fed, and happy. I currently serve Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight and am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight.

My services include walking, feeding, playtime, and administering medication if needed. For home visits, I’m flexible—I can provide quick toilet breaks or stay with your pets as long as required. Some dogs need constant company, so I can stay all day, while others are fine being left alone for up to four hours. When house sitting, I can stay as long as needed and handle home security, ensuring all doors and windows are locked, and keys and electrics are secure. I can also water plants and bring in the mail, offering comprehensive care for your peace of mind.

A typical dog-sitting day includes enjoyable walks, engaging playtime, and, when possible, exploring nearby beaches or parks. I’m confident in handling strong and boisterous dogs on the lead, ensuring they have a fun and active day. I also drive, so your dog can accompany me on errands, giving them a change of scenery and never leaving them alone for too long.
