Founder
Gilly Mulford
Worldwide cover - at home & abroad
​
Having owned cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, fish, ferrets and horses, I know how important our pets are to us. Not only do they enhance our lives, by giving unconditional love, they have a huge impact on our physical and mental wellbeing.
​
It is only right that we afford them the same love and attention that they give us.
As not all animals are suited to boarding environments we offer a service that accommodates them in their own home.
I have a passion for giving you peace of mind so you too can enjoy having a break when you need it, and I get to share cuddles with the most amazing pets!
I am also the founder of Your Household PA a private household and business admin support service, giving you back precious time. With a Fellowship from the Institute of Administrative Management, I am a dedicated professional known for my 'never a problem only a solution' motto. My dynamic background brings a wealth of experience spanning roles from an Executive Assistant, with HNWI’s in property and education, to unique positions in forensic DNA, training and recruitment, sport and art development, community grants and charities.
I am a committee member of Strategic PA Network and local Ambassador for Abingdon Business Buzz where I support others, sharing experiences through networking.
Beyond my thriving career, I am a NHS Cardiac Arrest/Community Responder with the Royal Volunteer Service and a volunteer vaccinator with SJA. I also fundraise in support of a local mental health charity in memory of my son, exemplifying my commitment to community service.
In my cherished spare time, I explore the world, meditate, enjoy motorcycle adventures, and continue to enrich my skills for personal wellbeing; embodying my positive 'can do' attitude and zest for life. I love entertaining friends with good food and wine, and spending time with family.
​
I also offer worldwide travel, accompanying your pets and taking care of them during your trips.
I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon.
Best,
Gilly

Pet & House Sitting Associates
Caroline & Martin
Associate Pet Sitters - Oxfordshire
Caroline and her husband Martin have over 18 years’ experience of cat and dog ownership, with Martin also owning rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets. He also rescued battery hens as a youngster and nursed them back to happy, fully feathered, egg laying ‘pets’.
Their dog was a rehomed rescue with some interesting quirks, (namely cats, lawnmowers, wheels, roads, and other dogs), so they have years of experience in managing happy and safe walks, whilst maintaining high levels of vigilance for potential issues!
Their own pets were never put into kennels at holiday times because they know how important it is for animals to have their routines maintained in their own safe and familiar environment.
Caroline and Martin have taken the opportunity to retire early from the rat race, and whilst owning their own pet is not possible at this time, due to some travelling commitments, they have the passion, time, energy and enthusiasm to care for your pets in your home. They also have experience in administering medications.
We have received lovely feedback from owners. Read more here...

Rob
Associate Pet Sitter - Oxfordshire
Rob is a life-long dog lover, who has recently discovered the joys of dog-sitting. He is lucky to have a lifestyle where he travels abroad regularly, but this means that unfortunately he can't have his own dog easily.
Rob loves the nature of dogs and their positive energy, getting out and about in the open air and countryside. Sometimes he thinks that he enjoys a walk almost as much as the dogs, but is well aware that for most dogs, exercise is the most important thing in their daily lives.
Rob has his own online business and so is able to work from almost anywhere, which allows him to be extremely flexible and able to sit at short notice.
Rob has received some amazing feedback from owners who were extremely nervous about leaving their young Collie. Read more here...
