Doggy Day Care in Oxford

“Liv is having such a wonderful time that he doesn't want to stop playing to go home. Paola has been really flexible with my crazy work hours and sends me pictures and videos.”

“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.”

About: I have had and taken care of pets all of my life. I am responsible and a lover of animals. I treat others pets as if they were my own. They will be well taken care of and will be comfortable in my home. I work from home. I am available at all times upon requests within a time frame. Willing to be open for emergency situations as well. My pets are my family and I know that they can't always go with you. I will do anything to accommodate you and your babies. I will take care of your pet as you wish. They can be a part of the family or crated if that is more comfortable at times. You know your pet best and I am here to make you feel at ease that they are well taken care of. I have a miniature poodle who loves new friends. Your pet will never be unattended inside or out. I have an outdoor kennel for going to the bathroom and when the pups are not in the kennel, I will have them on a leash for safety. I like to go hiking nearby for dogs that enjoy that and you will always get lots of pictures and videos to know they are happy and safe!

“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.”

“Pippa has another stellar visit with Andreana and Milo. I booked the day on short notice and Andreana was very accommodating. Pippa was a very happy pup when I came to pick her up and showed that she had a great time once again”

“Colette was very sweet with my Nala. She was very nice and sent pictures and status of Nala during the day. Nala was very happy with Colette and had a great time staying with her. We loved the experience and we will book her again.”

“My dog loved it with them. With a new puppy I felt comfortable leaving her with them, and the did a great job with her. Loved the updates throughout the day. Will use them again as I feel safe leaving my puppy with them”

“April was amazing! This was Bentley's first time away from us. He had the best time playing in the backyard and going for walks with her. He came home happy and completely worn out for the rest of the day. I highly recommend April for anyone looking for a caring and fun place for their pup!”

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!

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life—my own dog James came into my life when I was just 11 years old, and from then on, caring for animals became second nature. I bring a patient, gentle, and intuitive approach to each pet I care for. I’m especially great with shy or nervous dogs and have experience with both playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra TLC. What really sets me apart is how I treat every pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that means sticking to a strict medication schedule, going for long walks, or just providing a calm and loving environment. I’m also detail-oriented, reliable, and great at communicating with pet parents—so you’ll always know your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved. As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I’m able to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I often structure my day around my responsibilities, which makes it easy for me to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and cuddle sessions. Whether it's early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I always find time to give pets the love and attention they need. Caring for animals is something that brings me joy and balance in the middle of a busy academic life—it never feels like a chore. It’s actually one of the most relaxing and rewarding parts of my routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space and follow the routine they’ve set for their furry friend. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I work hard to maintain their usual schedule—whether that means feeding at specific times, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or administering medications.

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.

About: I have taken care of animals for over 20 years, they bring me so much joy, I truly enjoy each and every one of them. I am currently working part time and I am looking to fill in my time with something I really enjoy, taking care of pets! 😊 I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take the dogs out leashed and also for walks in my neighborhood or yours.😊I am very trustworthy, I can provide references if needed.

About: My name is Kimberly F. and I am currently 33 years old. I own a 3 bedroom single family home in Oxford MA and currently live there with my daughter. I have been here for about 8 years. I do not currently have any pets. My back yard is 0.3 acre and is fully fenced. I have loved animals since birth. I used to ride and train horses growing up however that passion had to be put aside to move along in my education and career goals. I am looking to make some extra income to offset some additional home expenses. I love animals and connect with all animals more easily than I do with people. I treat animals as family. I had been living here with someone before and he did not want any animals around. Now that he is gone, I can start what I’ve been wanting to do since buying the house. I welcome you and your four legged family members to my home. I currently work from home so I am available all day seven days per week to care for your dog. However many potty or walk breaks are needed I can make that work! I have a fully fenced in back yard which dogs love to play in and run around. It is great having a safe space for them to let out energy!
