Doggy Day Care & Boarding
Hey there! We’re Emily & Paul, and we live in Bicester. We offer doggy day care and home boarding in a safe, relaxed home environment 🐾 We have a friendly Cocker Spaniel called Hattie (1 year old), who absolutely loves the company of other dogs. She enjoys a good play but also knows how to switch off and relax, so whether your dog is energetic or more laid back, they’ll feel right at home with her. Dogs in our care are treated like part of the family, welcome on the sofa for cuddles and with access to our secure garden for playtime and fresh air. We both work from home most of the week, so your dog will have plenty of attention and company throughout the day. Our family life was spent around dogs so we have lots of hands on experience, including caring for the four Springer Spaniels in my family and our friend’s dogs whenever they’re away. We will always make sure your dog feels safe, happy and well cared for, and we are more than happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you are away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Emily and Paul. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog, Zulu, with anyone, so we were naturally a little anxious. From the very beginning they were fantastic, even taking the time to meet us beforehand so we could get to know them and introduce Zulu to them and their own dog. Throughout his stay they kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear they genuinely cared about making sure Zulu felt comfortable, settled and happy, and they did everything they could to make the whole experience as stress free as possible for both him and us. We came home with a very happy dog and couldn’t be more grateful for the care they gave him. We’d recommend Emily and Paul without hesitation and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both for looking after Zulu so well!
Just the nicest people ever. They picked our boy up, dropped him off and sent updates all day. Seems like he was good as gold (typical teenager being good as gold at someone else's house 🤣) They were really clear, friendly and knew exactly what to do with Bruce. Absolutely recommend and will definitely be using them again. Thank you guys so much.
Leaving your 4 month old puppy with new people can be a little daunting but honestly Emily & Paul made us & Fin feel so comfortable very quickly. Lots of pup-dates and videos. Super flexible. Great communication when booking and throughout the day. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for doggy day care for their pup. Thank you very much both!!
Ziggy really enjoyed time Emily and Paul's dog. I'm sure he would love to visit them again.
Emily was very helpful as I didn't know how long Ziggy would need to stay. He was very happy and well looked after.
I met Emily on a dog walk and started chatting because we had the same dog (golden cocker spaniel), and I can confidently say she is one of the most caring people I know. She absolutely adores animals, especially dogs! Emily has plenty of experience looking after pets, including my own dog, and she always goes above and beyond to make sure Frankie has a lovely time when he stays, whether it is for an hour or overnight. She makes Frankie feel right at home, makes sure he is given the right food at the right time, as well as giving him plenty of exercise, love and attention! I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Emily to anyone looking for a dependable and loving dog sitter. I always feel at ease with a peace of mind when my dog stays with her.

As we both work from home most of the week and already have our own dog, caring for dogs is a natural part of our daily routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a secure fenced garden for outdoor time, and plenty of cosy spaces to relax, including extra dog beds. If your dog is used to a crate or playpen, we’re happy to provide these and use them if you would like us to, but otherwise they’re free to settle in however they’re most comfortable.
