Doggy Day Care in Oxford

“I'm always a little nervous leaving my boy Blu with new people since he can be a little shy, but I could tell he had a great time hanging out at Melissa's for the afternoon. I received updates and pics of him happily running around her yard with her dog, and making himself maybe a little too comfortable on her sofa. I would not hesitate to entrust her with his care in the future. Highly recommend.”

“Paola was quick to respond she was available and took Jameson for day care the night before! She sent multiple photos and videos during his stay. There was no worry how he was doing.”

“I think our puppy Lucy officially found her second home with Dawn and her family! Knowing we needed a sitter before even bringing our puppy home, I turned to Rover and found Dawn—and I’m so glad I did. She went above and beyond from the start, even coming over with her kids to meet Lucy beforehand. She’s truly salt of the earth, and I immediately felt at ease the moment I met her. As first-time dog parents, we had plenty of questions and requests, and Dawn was so accommodating, evening keeping us updated with the sweetest photos. I loved that on our first daycare service Lucy got to socialize with her kids and even play with another dog while she was there. On top of that, my husband has a difficult work schedule, and Dawn was incredibly flexible, which made everything so much easier. Watching a hyper puppy is no small task, but Dawn handled it with such care and patience. We are so grateful to have Dawn and her family in out circle!”

“Laurie is wonderful! She’s very attentive and caring with the dogs in her care - it’s obvious she’s a dog person. My dog knows when he’s going to Laurie’s house and gets so excited. When we get there, he jumps out of the car and right over to Laurie. I’m grateful for Rover and helping me find daycare so quickly with a person I can trust.”

“April was great as always! Easy to communicate and flexible with a last minute request. Yard is as advertised and Dodger was well exercised!”

Matthew B.

“Our dog seemed like he had a great time! He loved playing with her dogs! She was responsive and was able to book at such short notice!! She is so friendly and our dog warmed up to her right away!”

Christine M.

“Kathy was an absolute sweetheart! She kindly invited me to visit her home before confirming the booking, which gave me peace of mind knowing it was a safe and welcoming environment for my dog. She kept me updated throughout the stay and went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, especially considering his high anxiety. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely book with her again!”

Ellen T.

“Our pup Milo had a great time! I’ll be leaving him with Derek again!”

Arjun B.

“Kimberly is a great sitter! She took care of my 2 year old standard poodle for a day while I was away. She was great with her and helped her feel less anxious. She was very responsive throughout the day and sent plenty of photos! I would recommend Kimberly!!”

About: Amelia Massey Chorlton Introduction: Hello, my name is Amelia Massey Chorlton. I have extensive experience with dogs, having cared for them practically my entire life. From raising our family dog Daisy, a Golden Retriever, until her passing due to old age, to currently running a doggy daycare from my home, dogs have always been a significant part of my life. Professional Experience: I recently left my position as a manager at a doggy daycare, where I worked for three years, to focus on working from home. During my time there, I gained valuable experience in understanding and managing various dog behaviors and deepened my love for all types of dogs. In addition to my daycare management experience, I have also managed an intellectual disability group home, a position I also left to work from home. Personal Experience: I currently own four dogs of various sizes and two cats. I live in an in-law housing situation owned by my mother, which allows me the flexibility to separate dogs as needed. If required, I can crate my dogs and cats, ensuring that your pet will never have to meet mine if that’s your preference. Facilities: • My home features a fully fenced backyard that is divided into sections, allowing me to separate my dogs from visiting dogs while keeping everything securely fenced. • The backyard provides plenty of shade, a kiddie pool, and access to the garage, which is equipped with water bowls, food bowls, beds, toys, and is climate-controlled with both AC and heating for the colder months. Services: • The option to separate dogs or provide solo sitting for dogs with reactivity or behavioral issues. • Experience with senior dogs, puppies, and behavioral dogs. • Years of experience training my own and other dogs. • CPR trained and capable of administering medication to dogs that need it. Please consider me for your next dog-sitting needs. I am passionate and dedicated, and I promise to put my all into caring for each and every dog that comes into my home. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home, allowing me to maintain a very flexible schedule. I am available for dog sitting, dog boarding, dog walking, cat sitting, cat boarding, and drop-in visits as needed. Additionally, I offer complimentary dog walking services when you book boarding at my home. In my home, I ensure pets are cared for in a safe and comfortable environment. When the weather is pleasant, the dogs can enjoy free access to the backyard, where they can roam freely and even jump in the kiddie pool if they wish. The garage is always open during the day, allowing them to move in and out as they please. On particularly hot or cold days, the backyard is only open for potty breaks. During these times, the dogs stay indoors, with the dog door remaining open for them to access their crates, beds, or toys. This setup ensures they can always find a comfortable spot to relax and play!

I have frisbees, soccer balls and tennis balls and large drinking bowls, as well as many toys for the pups to play with. :) I am very flexible and am willing to accommodate doggy parents while they are away, I will do my best to make you and your fur baby feel comfortable during your separation and will provide pictures whenever asked!

About: Although always a pet owner and lover, we have opened our home to foster pets over the last five years. We have had small litters of puppies, kittens, have helped train and socialize and can offer quiet space for shy animals to decompress. We are an active family and would ensure dogs are getting lots of outdoor time in a safe and loving environment. I have the benefit of working from home so I am always available. I have flexibility to take breaks if attention is needed, and have also had experience with plenty of middle of the night wake-ups for puppies not quite ready to make it through the night. Whether in my home or yours, I will always ensure to stick to the pet’s routine and comfort level so that their stress levels are low and their needs are met.
