Melody takes great care of my little rescue dog, who was shy and nervous. Melody gently established a rapport by sitting quietly with her. When she took her for walks she had snacks and all the necessary items.
Melody is very professional, on time, and courteous with both dogs and owners! She has both kindness and knowledge. I do not hesitate to recommend her.

Melody is an absolute dream. Friendly, personable, asks loads of great questions about care and preferences and obviously loves dogs. She swooped in and saved the day last minute when I’d forgotten to book a dog sitter for half term and couldn’t have been nicer. Our whippet instantly adored her and was extremely well taken care of for four days. I received lovely updates on all the fun things they were doing and Mel and her family treated Nettle as their own. I would highly recommend her and definitely use her again. Thanks so much Mel x

Woofkins are extraordinary! Reliable, relatable, flexible and that amazingly rare quality…..human AND dog friendly. Totally down to earth…understand the complexities and demands of a professional home.
I cannot possibly recommend Melody more highly….I have always had dogs and, their welfare comes above all else. I have used a variety of sitters and walkers over the years as I am a very busy business woman who is also a widow.
I would not trust my precious bundles with just anyone and I don’t have to because I’m blessed to have found Woofkins!

I’m delighted to have found Melody. I never worry about Ralphy when she’s looking after him as I know she will take great care of him. She gives him lots of exercise and plenty of cuddles!
Melody’s very happy to send photos and updates if you want them which I love.So if you want a reliable and caring pet sitter, I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Our boy Bao absolutely adores Melody, and we can understand why. She’s engaged, upbeat, and attentive. For us, Melody has been timely, professional and proactive. We are so happy to have found her! Most importantly, Bao is, too. “

I can’t recommend Melody highly enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with my two dogs—Bailey, my 8-year-old Labrador with arthritis, and Bramble, my energetic 1-year-old Cocker Spaniel.
She tailors her care perfectly to their needs, taking Bramble on exciting walks while giving Bailey the cuddles and gentle garden play he loves.
They are always so excited to see her, and it’s clear how much she cares for them. Knowing they’re in such good hands gives me real peace of mind. Thank you, Melody!

Our mission is to ENHANCE the lives of dogs and their owners
Woofkins is the first private members club for dogs in Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds, with reciprocal access to clubs such as Estelle Manor. We’re built to fit around your busy lifestyle. Alternatively, we offer a PAYG service without any commitments.
Woofkins is primarily a Woodstock dog walking service. Our customer focussed services for dogs (and their families) focus on individual love and care for every Woofkin, including dog walking services, dog sitting, and an extra pair of hands when you need them.
WITH LOVE AND CARE
The Woofkins Way

Socialisation
Woofkins are essentially pack animals and love the company of others. Woofkins dogs are socialised individually (or per household), always on a lead, with a carer by their side.

Enhancement
Woofkins are social, intelligent and active animals. So, it’s important to provide them with safe and suitable opportunities to exercise their bodies and minds, during every stage of life.

Rest
Woofkins need time off from external stressors – no walks, training or activities outside of the home. Instead time should be spent relaxing and undertaking calm activities or a chance to sleep.
Choose EITHER AN EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS WHEN NEEDED, OR BECOME A MEMBER OF OUR thoughtfully DESIGNED CLUB THAT PROVIDES COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND.
