“Stacey was really great with Randy. She took him for walks regularly and gave him loads of attention and cuddles. She sent us updates daily with loads of photos. I'd highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Really friendly and caring sitters. Todd had a great time playing with other dogs all week while I was away, he's been asleep ever since coming home! I had updates and pictures daily which was really nice and helped keep my mind at ease.”
“Robin and Betsy went above and beyond with looking after my dog for 10 days. They took him on many various walks during the time where I was updated every day with photos and videos of him. so reassuring whilst I was on holiday. I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog 5 star+ thank you so much for looking after him so well.”
“I’m so pleased to have met Jackie and her family, absolutely lovely caring people. I instantly felt at ease leaving my little Pom cross Evie with them and overnight. I had such lovely photos and updates. I could instantly tell Evie had a wonderful time and was taken care of. I have already rebooked.”
“Frank had a wonderful overnight stay with Danielle. She and her family looked after him perfectly & were so kind to him. He enjoyed his sleepover & making new friends & it was a comfort to us to know that he was so well looked after. We will definitely be booking with Danielle in future & would have no hesitation recommending her. Thank you Danielle!”
“Thank you Emily and Scott for taking such great care of our dogs. We could not ask for more caring and thoughtful sitters, who have gone above and beyond - we have complete peace of mind leaving Toby and Bea with you 😊”
“Claire was fantastic with Ziggy, she made her feel very welcome, took great care of her, even bought her new wipes and oil for her food so a I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone leaving their dog to be looked after.”
“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 !”
“My dog Springer spent three weeks with Jing and had a fantastic time. He looked happy and relaxed in every photo I received - usually three updates a day - which gave me peace of mind while I was away. They clearly cared for him with love and attention, keeping him active and comfortable. I'm very satisfied with the experience and will definitely trust them to look after Springer again in the future.”
“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”
“Marta and her partner made our nervous Golden Retriever feel very welcome right from the beginning - she gave him time and understanding and took him for several walks, all at times of day when the heat was over. She kept us regularly updated with photos. Having felt pretty anxious myself about leaving him, I was able to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely recommend Marta.”
“My 4 month old Whippet puppy Lottie just stayed with Quentin for two nights and it was absolutely brilliant. Lottie got lots of walks and playtime outside in Christchurch meadow and special attention when she needed it. Quentin kept me fully updated with photos and all of the latest news, and was very flexible and accommodating with my travel arrangements. He dealt with her diet, exercise and sleep requirements with such calm and patience. I would love Lottie to go back to stay next time, I think she has made friends for life!”

Stewart and Maria did an excellent job of looking after our 6 year old golden retriever. Our dog has a lot of energy and can pull quite a bit on the lead, yet this wasn’t a problem for them. We got regular updates and the most beautiful photos. It was really obvious that our dog was having such a great time in all the photos. We have already booked another holiday for our dog to stay with Stewart and Maria.
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.
Milo had a lovely time at Lindsey’s. Milo is a bit shy of new people but she did a great job at making him feel safe with a meet and greet before his stay, and giving him the space he needed to get comfortable on his first sleepover. We got pictures and updates which we loved seeing. Highly recommend a stay with Lindsey.
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! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Oxfordshire on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
