Dog Dads in Oxfordshire

We have two dogs of our own. They are very well trained and socialised, and love playing with others. They're used to having all sorts of dogs around and easily adapt to the guest dog(s) temperament. We love our routine and prefer longer term stays (e.g. 1-2 weeks). This enables us and your dog(s) to get comfortable. Short stays/over night also welcome. LGBTQIA+ inclusive.

Rodney had a brilliant time with Craig and the Dalmatians! We were kept updated with photos and videos and trusted that Rodney was in kind, experienced hands. Will definitely book again.

Lucky had a fantastic and enjoyable stay. He got on really well with their two adorable and calm Dalmatians. Lucky had plenty of walks and affection from both Craig's. I would certainly recommend them and use them again.

Schedule

We work from home so are available all day to keep your dog company. We have two adult male Dalmatians of our own; they get two long walks a day (morning/evening) and they love to play and meet new friends. If your dogs needs extra exercise or more frequent toilet breaks we can take them out when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

Walled garden so your dog will be safe. We live on the edge of town which is minutes away from open countryside, so loads of green space to run around and play (also lake/streams/rivers for the warmer months).

Pets

A typical day

Morning walk at about 6:30/7:00 for 60 minutes. Usually meet up with local dog walkers so our two dogs can have a play at the start of the day. Evening walk after work at about 17:30 over in the fields for 60 minutes. Dogs can run through fields and stretch their legs and go for a swim in the lake if it’s hot.

We have a busy/active life and often go out for walks/pub lunches etc. with the dogs. Guest dogs need to be OK being left alone for a few hours. Recommend a meet and greet first for long stays. To help keep our house a calm and relaxing place we ask that guest dogs are: 1. Either lead trained with no pulling, OR off-lead trained with good recall 2. Quiet with no barking 3. Well socialised/good with other dogs We are not able to host female dogs in heat, or puppies under 1 year who aren’t toilet trained.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
