“I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. Have used her twice now and the second time I took my dog to her he jumped out the car and ran to her door. Lisa even picked Capone up for me on our first visit as we had an early flight. Lisa is kind, great communicator and very clearly AMAZING with dogs. Absolutely brilliant find x”
“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 !”
“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.”
“We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Emily and Scott! They looked after our dog, Willow, while we were on holiday, and we were so impressed. We received daily photo updates which really put our minds at ease. Willow looked so happy and well-loved in every picture—it truly felt like she was having a holiday of her own! We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Thank you”

About: I've taken care of a lot of dogs of all types of breeds and sizes and plus I look after my sisters Frenchie every other school holidays and I'd love to branch my services to those in need I'm currently unemployed at the moment and looking for a daily routine to fill up the time that I have and would love to have a bit of company aswell I have a 1 bed house that has an upstairs and downstairs and I also have a woodland area behind where I live to take the dogs to just let their hair down I will take them on 3 walks a day and I'm free most of the time so your dog will have my 100% attention
“Kind, thoughtful very experienced dog carers welcomed our sweet but energetic collie into their home. They were generous with their time and gave us helpful updates and photos. We heartily recommend Maria. 😊💜”
“Our red lab Pippin loved staying with Jess. She got on really well with Jess's dog Piper, and they had lots of walks in the open countryside, and splashing in the stream, beside where Jess lives. I would definitely recommend staying with her!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life & have rescued 2 dogs of my own (ages 9 & 6) along with regularly caring for family and friends pets. Over the recent years, I have fostered 4 dogs which have included Rottweiler and Cane Corsos. I work from home regularly and on days where I am working in the office (typically 2 days a week) I will have 1 hour break to spend time/let out/walk your dog along with my 2 so they will never be left for more than 4 hours at any one time during the day. I live directly next to a number of large fields which I will ensure your pet has sufficient exercise during their stay. Due to my 2 dogs coming from rescue centres, they are used to being around plenty of dogs of all sizes. As previously mentioned, all dogs that I have cared for in the last 3 years have all come from different backgrounds with some difficult behaviours/personalities so I am able to adapt to any dogs needs. Your pet will have access to my full home and will be allowed on the sofas if this is something your pet is used too. I am also happy to crate your pet should this be their routine, please provide a crate for the duration of their stay. Your pet will receive a minimum of 2 long walks a day with plenty of breaks in the garden during the day with plenty of toys to play with inside too. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of walks nearby without having to travel. Due to having 2 needy dogs they are very rarely left unattended which means your pet will have company 90% of the time. During any stay at your pets home I will ensure that their routine is followed just the same and will remain professional throughout.
“Leah was so accommodating when I needed someone at short notice to look after my dog piggy. I received plenty of photos and updates on how he was doing which really put my mind at ease. He had such a great time with Leah and came back so happy!”

Stewart and Maria gave my dogs amazing time . They asked us all the details of my dogs needs and we immediately felt comfortable with leaving our dogs to them at meet and greet . They have taken our dogs to many different places every day and sent us many pictures and videos of our happy dogs on their adventures ! ! Unfortunately , one of my dogs' existing prolapse problem recurred during his stay , but Stewart and Maria swiftly took him to an emergency vet and sorted out everything so that my dogs are returned safely . I cannot thank enough to both of them , and I hope they continue to give other dogs wonderful time !
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 June 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 .

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 .
