“Fantastic Really pleased with Emily she is brilliant and we have already booked in again. Our dog had a wonderful time we received updates with pictures on how he was doing. Emily is easy to talk to and listened to any concerns/ questions that he had. Excellent service, thank you 😊”
About: My wife and I both grew up with dogs, we've had our own for over 3 years now. We've been sitting dogs via rover for over two years now. We like to take our dogs for a long morning walk, around 5km and a shorter afternoon walk to make sure they're well exercised. My partner and I work mostly remote, there is always one of us at home so we are very flexible with sitting and walking dogs. We have a dog of our own, we always like to have a short introduction first to ensure they get on (we haven't had any rejections yet!). We always walk the dogs at least twice a day: a long walk in the morning and a shorter walk in the afternoon. We have a fenced garden with lawn area for the dogs to sunbath and run around in.
“Isabella took really good care of my rescue Golden Retriever. He was a bit shy the first day but went in full happy energetic mode the next day. He even stops in front of her door now on our walks so it is clear that he enjoyed his stay very much. Isabella was quick in responding, kept me updated during the day and followed all my instructions to make care Bailey had a great time.”
“Maria is such a great carer. She is perfect on communication, looked after my boy very well, updated me during the day sending lots of pics and videos. My boy looked absolutely super happy. I am so glad that we have come across Maria and we will definitely book for her service again. Thank you”
“Crash loved his stay. He was entertained throughout the day. Crash loves playing fletch with the ball. The dog sitter was quick to response to my request and we did a meet and greet session before booking Crash in. I would use their dog services again. Highly recommend.”
“As this was the first time I had used Rover or even a sitter - I felt a little nervous to leave my 'fur baby' with a stranger. However, Paulina put me at ease and I felt comfortable and happy to drive away and when I came to picking Pepper up she was in no hurry to leave :) I will definitely be rebooking with Paulina again”
“Rebecca deserves a perfect 5 star rating for her positivity, kindness, ease of communication, and professionalism as a caregiver. She accepted my last-minute request and sent regular updates throughout the day. My boy Newton looked so happy. Highly recommend to everyone.”
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.
About: 🐾 I have been around dogs my whole life 🐾 Our current dog is a Cockerpoo who we have had since being a puppy, so we are used to caring for dogs of all ages with their own needs and requirements. From playful pups to wise old tails, each furry friend brings a unique spark of joy! Whether it’s puppy training or cozying up with a senior buddy, every moment is filled with wagging tails and slobbery kisses! 🐶❤️ During the week, I work from home, which means I'm super flexible! 🐶✨ Check out my availability calendar to see when I can hang out with your adorable doggie! 🐾 We have a decent sized garden, so there’s plenty of space for your doggie to have zoomies! 🐕💨 Our dog, Arthur the Cockerpoo, is super friendly with other dogs and loves to play. Bring your fur baby over for some tail-wagging fun! 🐾
About: I have a 6 year old golden retriever and previously had 2 cavalier King Charles, as well as numerous family dogs. I have had all my dogs from puppies so have experience with younger dogs also. I am comfortable with most breeds For doggy day car I currently work from home mon-Thurs. My children are in childcare during this time but may be present first thing in the morning and in the early evening before your dog is picked up. If your dog will be boarding with us then my children will be around your dog, they are both great with dogs due to our family dog Harry. I have a fenced garden and a friendly golden retriever. I can offer love and attention throughout the day as well as a short lunch time walk to the fields behind our house.
“Emily was amazing with Roxie and arranged alternative care for her own dogs for a day so she would feel more comfortable and settled. Thank you for being a life saver! We have a very sleepy doggo now!”
“James & his dog Ruby are so lovely! Looked after my dog Willow so well, she always came home with a smile on her face & sleepy from a fun day! Thank you so much! Would definitely recommend James & will 100% use in the future! Thanks again”
“Amanda has looked after my dog (Ethel 9 months) several times now as day care and is a star. Each time my dog has left the car excitedly wagging her tail on the way to her house and has zoomed in eagerly. She always has a lovely walk and enjoys spending time with Amanda’s chihuahuas playing around. When booking she is quick to respond and takes an active interest in the needs of the dog. During the day, Amanda sends photos and updates which helps make me feel reassured that Ethel is having a great day.”
“Taj and his family have been absolutely fantastic! Very friendly, super helpful and flexible since the very first moment. We couldn’t be happier with them and feel totally confident that they have the best interests of our sweet Noomi at heart. We were really concerned about finding the right sitter and feel very fortunate to have Taj.”
“Murdo had a lovely time at Melissa's home. She was able to accommodate him at quite short notice and I did not worry about him at all. She sent me a video of him playing in the morning and he looked as if he would never want to come home again!”

Alex and her partner are ideal carers for Buckley. He was made to feel very welcome on both days and they were able to accommodate a late meeting that I had to attend on day 1. Buckley returned happy and very well exercised which meant he was calm on his return each evening. All instructions were followed and regular pictures and videos were sent throughout each day to keep me updated. I would highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cherwell on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,299 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Cherwell. About 88% of Cherwell sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Cherwell commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
