Dog Boarding Cherwell

About: I have a remote job for a tech company which means that your dog will never be left alone and can go outside or play with me whenever they like. I can easily adapt when I walk them based on their usual routines from early mornings till late evening, as well as multiple times a day. I want to dog sit mainly because I work remotely, my partner Alex works full time in Rugby so most of the day I am alone so I would adore some dog company! I would one day love to have a dog of my own, but as I have recently finished my Masters degree, started my career and bought a house that is still a few years away. My family dog Amber lives with my parents so I miss her terribly! Every dog I would look after would get the same love and care I would give her. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s family’s three Jack Russels, and having grown up in a village full of dogs who we often looked after growing up, I am very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels including the really high energy ones. My home is in a quiet village with a fully dog proofed garden (chicken wire has been nailed to the open fence) that overlooks the fields. There is a dog park opposite where the dog can also be let of the lead for a good run around, as well as lots of good walks nearby. Even though I am new to this app I am setting my years of experience to when my family first got Amber which was 10 years ago as I have been looking after her so much in that time, as well as looking after different dogs in the village for either the day or for a week at a time. As I work remotely I can take my breaks and lunch whenever is needed for your dog. I am up early morning a few hours before work if they need a good walk in there as well. I have a fenced garden and can keep watch of them at all times to make sure they are safe and happy. I can adapt their living based on what they have at home: I can put a baby gate up if they are usually not allowed upstairs, or allow them or not onto furniture depending on your preferences as well. I also have a dog seatbelt for the car if they prefer to go to a certain park or need to be driven anywhere for any reason.

“Dane and his partner clearly love dogs and are very experienced at looking after them. Communication was very good and Dane sent me photos of my dog every day, and she'd clearly had lots of walks and good times. Highly recommended.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. As an owner of two tiny Pomeranians, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, love, and individual attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I provide personalised care to help every pet feel safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to give owners complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are in caring and trustworthy hands. My schedule is very flexible, giving me the opportunity to provide attentive, one-on-one care throughout the day. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive regular walks, playtime, affection, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure home with a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and play under supervision. I live with two adorable, small Pomeranians who are incredibly friendly and love the company of other dogs, helping to create a warm and relaxed environment for every guest. I understand that every pet is unique, so I always take the time to follow their usual routine and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“Melissa was amazing, from initial meet and greet, boarding and even bringing our dog to our wedding venue for photographs, couldn’t have asked for anyone better - thank you so much!”

About: I’ve had dogs around my whole life. We recently lost our sweet pup after 14 amazing years together, so the house has just been way too quiet lately! Having raised dogs from crazy puppies all the way to gentle seniors, I totally get that they aren't just pets—they're proper family. I'm completely used to all the little details that keep a dog happy, whether that's sticking to strict meal times, managing meds, or just making sure they get plenty of affection and feel right at home. I work from home and own my own business. Having a dog around again will be a great pleasure as I miss the companionship. I have plenty flexibility and their routine would become my routine. They would become my co-worker. I keep things super comfortable and flexible for guest dogs. My home has laminate flooring throughout, plus a nice rug in my office where I work. They’ll also have access to a large, high-fenced garden with plenty of grass to stretch their legs. On warm days, I leave the garden doors open so they can potter in and out as they like. Your pup can hang out with me in the office all day or find their own favourite cozy spot!

“Absolutely Blooming Marvellous doggie overnight host for Wilf. I would thoroughly recommend Emily and a great big thank you f Om both Wilf and me.”

“Thank you Jessica, for another week of caring so wonderfully for Kizzy. I’m sure she has really enjoyed all the lovely walks, cuddles and attention that you and your family have given her. It has given me such peace of mind, while being on holiday. Thank you again.”

“Lovely home from home for Tiggy. She obviously had a great time with Bobbie and Gary. We loved Bobbie's updates, making us smile on numerous occasions! We would be very happy for Tiggy to stay again in the future, and would fully recommend Bobbie and Gary to anyone looking for a safe and secure 'home from home' boarding experience for their canine family members.”

“Missie had a wonderful stay with Alice, Will and of course the gorgeous Winston!! Regular pupdates kept me from missing her too much. She had so much fun I don’t think she wanted to leave! Can’t wait to book again x”

Jaz B.

“I cannot recommend Angela enough. Angela and Mark are both amazing and to say they took good care of our dog is an understatement. They gave him a family member care and went above and beyond in many ways. Our dog is a rescue so he can get nervous in new situations but Angela and Mark's experience and gentle approach made him settle quickly. Thank you so much for being on Rover.”

Greg K.

“My little dog Wilf had a fabulous time staying with Jackie and Darcy. He's now made a little friend. Jackie was brilliant with him and I would thoroughly recommend her services.”

Paul C.

“Kristy was very welcoming and very experienced with dog sitting. She made us feel at ease with leaving our dog with her for our holiday. Great communication throughout our trip with updates every day. Would definitely recommend and I would use her again when needed”

“I’m very pleased with Jia Yuan for all her care and affection for Eddy. I was very very happy to receive my beloved dog so content and relaxed. I’m sure he’s found a second home. You are a great person, very responsible and affectionate. Many thanks 🤗❤️🦮”

About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs from a young age, having had family dogs. I frequently look after and walk many dogs for family and friends too. We are a family of 4, myself, my husband Rowan, our 4 year old son and of course our gorgeous Labrador Harley! We are very outdoorsy and love to be out in all weathers! We adore all dogs, and would be totally delighted to welcome your pup, we create a home from home experience providing endless love, adventure and care. Always more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Available most weekends Friday - Sunday for boarding, check ins and walks. I work locally and my husband works shifts. During boarding dogs are never left alone as we are home and love to take them everywhere we go too! I have a fenced garden and live in a quiet area. There are many lovely walks close by including parks, woods, nature reserves and fields.

“Fantastic stay! Joe has been fantastic from first contact. Really easy contact amd arrangements. Joe has been so accommodating and my dog, Pinkman, clearly loves staying there! Joe sent lovely photos and videos of our dog very happy in his stay, playing and snoozing like a home from home.”

About: I have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire. I can look after senior dogs and can administer medication. My schedule can be quite flexible however I am dipping in and out of shifts and different places. I am however mostly available. I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 1 year old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs, horses and other animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I currently have one dog of my own who will come with me for overnight stays and will be at my house if I am looking after your pooch. I work from home most days, which means plenty of company and attention for your dog. I’m lucky to have countryside walks just minutes away, plus a secure garden for safe playtime. I’m experienced with all varieties - from lively puppies to gentle seniors, and I’m comfortable with administering medication and sticking to special diets! I have been pet sitting alongside my day to day job for 10 years now and can provide references. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I can adjust my routine to fit theirs! You’ll get daily photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having. The only thing I ask is that they are friendly with my pooch. I currently work full time, mainly from home other than 5 hours on a Tuesday. I can amend my routine to fit around dogs needs. I can do day boarding and overnight boarding but my own dog will be here with me. I have a fenced garden, many walks straight from my doorstep. I have a dog of my own here and my neighbours do have dogs on the other side of the fence, so just something to think about if you have a highly reactive doggo! Dogs are allowed on the furniture but if you prefer dogs to be crated whilst I’m out - usually only short burst to pop to the shop, I do have small crates from when mine was a pup. For larger dogs you would need to provide the crate.
