“Couldn’t be happier with Stacey. Cruella didn’t seem to want to leave, which for me is a sign that she loved it there. She has lots of space and keeps you updated with photos and messages. Thank you again Stacey. We’ll be booking again :)”
“Robinand Betsy took excellent care of our two small dogs. They were very relaxed about having them in their home and allowed them to sleep in their beds upstairs which must have been a comfort to them. Robin sent us gorgeous pictures of their adventures. We were very pleased with the care.”
“I was super scared to leave my rescued—super reactive— dog with anyone. I had never, in fact. The meet and greet with Amanda was amazing. From minute one, my dog felt at ease. After that, it was no difficult for me to leave them alone foe the day. Amanda sent me comments, pics and even videos to keep my peace of mind. My dog was sleeping with her on the sofa, not a worry in the world. The whole process has been easy and smooth. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks so much, Amanda.”
“I would definitely recommend Monika. In the future, I will be more than happy to leave my little cat with Monika again. Monika was sending me pictures of Mea and messages about how she was doing, which was absolutely fantastic communication. Monika allowed Mea to stay in her bedroom so Mea felt more safe. I was so calm knowing that someone was taking great care of my cat. Monika is definitely the right person to take care of your pet. Thank you again.”
About: I am a well experience dog boarder who has been trusted to care for dogs from a young age. Now living with my partner at RAF Benson, we have acquired our dog boarding license and made our home as perfect as possible for dogs of all kinds. They will have daily exercise at local dog fields in the surrounding area, get lots of treats and attention, whilst your kept well informed with everything going on to make your time away as stress free as possible! I’m a full-time dog boarder offering 24/7 care. Your dog will join our daily group walks at a private, secure dog field, once or twice a day depending on their routine and your preference, so zero recall isn’t an issue. Back at home, they can enjoy plenty of cuddles on the sofa or relax in one of our many comfy dog beds. We’ll keep their feeding routine exactly as it is at home, and at bedtime they can sleep wherever they’re happiest in one of our crates, on a dog bed or even on the bed! You’ll also receive regular photos and updates throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, settled and well cared for. Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Lauren is trained in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR, and we have comprehensive safety measures and procedures in place, including: •Dedicated dog and human first-aid kits • Fire extinguishers and fire blankets throughout the home • Safety latches and secure locks on doors and windows. • A coded deadbolt on the porch door • A fully enclosed 6-foot secure garden •Pet-safe cleaning products and strict hygiene procedures • Detailed procedures to follow for safety, emergencies, cleaning, feeding and the care of every dog We don’t just meet the expected standard of care, we aim to go above and beyond it. Every detail has been carefully considered to make sure your dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay. And most importantly, this is our home, not a kennel. Your dog becomes part of our household from the moment they arrive, receiving the same love, attention and care we give our own dogs. ❤️
“Lisa was a very good sitter, dog's seem to be relaxed in her company, she provided plenty of photos to put mind at rest, very pleasant lady and would use her again no problem,”
“Katherine accepted to look after my dogs despite it was a very short notice . The communication was very smooth and easy . Unfortunately, one of my dogs turn out to be not very good with children and we had to shorten the period for staying , but she gave us a great support by communicating with Rover's support team patiently so that we receive the refund for those dates . Thank you very much !”
“Jing was excellent and easy to deal with. Our (demanding) dog seems to have had a lovely time and Jing stayed in touch, sending us lovely photos of him playing and sleeping.”
“Our 7 month old dog had a lovely week with Luciane and did lots of socialising and playing. Through the booking process Luciane responded to messages very promptly and kept us up to date through the week with regular video clips which we really appreciated as it was the first time our young dog had spent away from us and we missed her! Luciane and her family are very warm and friendly and welcoming and clearly love dogs so we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her knowing that she would be well looked after. Many thanks Luciane!”
“Emily and Scott are truly amazing! I can't say enough wonderful things about them both. I was so nervous about leaving my pup behind for the first time, but they quickly put all my worries at ease. From the moment I walked into their beautiful, welcoming home, I felt completely comfortable—it didn’t feel like it was our first time meeting. Biscuit quickly settled in and was so happy to be there. Their home is incredibly dog-friendly, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. Throughout my time away, Emily sent regular updates and adorable pictures, which I absolutely loved and looked forward to each day. Her communication was excellent—she always responded quickly to my messages. They truly treated Biscuit like one of their own, which meant the world to me. Honestly, I was almost afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home—he was on his own little holiday too! I’ve already rebooked with them for our next trip and won’t even consider looking anywhere else for Biscuit’s care. I highly recommend Emily and Scott—you (and your pup) will be in the best hands!”
“Absolutely amazing! I had regular updates and photos sent to me, she was truly loved by Quentin and his partner, they treated her like their own and was so relaxed when she came back. Have already booked back in!”
“Jackie and family were so great with our Spaniel, they only had her interests at heart and gave her so much attention. We definitely recommend them and will be using them again (hopefully) they took her on all kinds of adventures and catered for her every need. House is lovely and secure and we didn’t have a worry at all about leaving the dog with them.”
“Claire is very friendly and accommodating. From the 1st contact is has been a smooth and clear process. Neo enjoyed his stay at her place. She has updated me regularly with his food and activities. Will definitely book again with her in future. Thank you so much for looking after Neo. X”
“Silma was fantastic! She communicated clearly from start to finish – welcoming me and showing me around her home, and keeping me updated throughout the day. She was proactive, attentive, and took wonderful care of my little girl, who I found relaxed and happy when I picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Silma!”
“I would highly recommend Amanda as a Dog Sitter. It was the first time our dog Riley stayed with Amanda and she had a great time. We had a very tired happy dog coming back. Amanda gave us regular updates with photos and videos of how Riley was getting on.”
“Vicky took her time during the meet and greet to understand Joey’s needs. She sent lovely photos and was patient when Joey needed settling in. Joey came back looking like a happy boy. Thanks so much”
“Lindsey was a pleasure to work with! From the moment I dropped my dog off to the pick up she was very communicative, send frequent updates and made effort to ensure my pup was having a great time. I would recommend Lindsey for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you x”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I now have my own dog Badger who is a 14 months old and super friendly with all dogs and children. I run hockey afterschool care clubs only three hours a week, so I am at home almost all the time, living in the countryside dedicating all my time to my dogs. I have a first class degree in education and am about to start my masters degree at Oxford University which will be one evening per week. So I have a lot of time to dedicate to doggy day care, walking and house sitting etc. Badger loves having friends to play with or snooze next too!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in South Oxfordshire is £35

Leanora has not been left with anyone but family since her arrival 2 years ago from Cyprus. We were understandably nervous about leaving her for a 3-day break with Danielle. It turns out that we did not need to be concerned. Apart from regular contacts and photos from Danielle (which showed that she seemed calm and settled) she came home full of life as though she hadn't missed us at all! Thanks Danielle for looking after her so well.
Georgia was lovely, was our first time doing boarding with Benji and I was a bit nervous, but Georgia left me at ease from the beginning by inviting me to see the house prior to Benji stay and even after I share some of Benji behaviour she wasn’t at all worried and happy to help. I would recommend Georgia to anyone ! For sure will be in touch next time we need. Benji seems happy and kept looking at her when we were leaving 🥹 Thank you
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be happier with the care our 2-year-old French Bulldog received! From the very start, Luke and his lovely girlfriend made us feel completely at ease. While we were away, they kept us updated with lovely photos, which reassured us that our boy was not only safe but also being showered with love and cuddles. It was clear he was so well looked after, and we could see how happy and relaxed he was. We’re so grateful for the genuine care and attention given, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend! 🐾

FAQs for Dog Boarding – South Oxfordshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Oxfordshire on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,388 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Oxfordshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
