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 espesially 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! I have an enhanced DBS as well as a clean drivers license of 11 years now no points or claims, updated safeguarding training as well as first aid. I hope I can assist you and your pup in whatever your needs are! 🐶
“Stacy was absolutely wonderful with koopa my little Old dog. Don’t think he wanted to leave . Kept me updated and sent me photos all the way through his stay . Highly recommended wonder lady . Thank you Stacy for making koopa welcome into your home.”
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. ❤️
“This was Cooper's 1st visit to Robin and Betsy's house and it was very successful. He was welcomed with enthusiasm into their home and it was clear that he'd had a good time as he was very chilled and relaxed when we collected him. They are a very friendly couple with an obvious love of dogs so we feel totally confident leaving Cooper with them. We look forward to future stays and hope that this is the start of a good relationship for us all.”
“Monika is very welcoming and took good care of Mochi. This is Mochi’s first day care experience. Monika communicated with me throughout the day to update his situation so that I can have peace of mind. I will definitely book again with Monika.”
“We were delighted to find a ‘home from home’ for Pippin with Claire and Marlow. Claire was attentive, thorough in her questions and care and very proactive making Pippin feel comfortable in her dog friendly home. We will definitely be making another booking!”

“Emily and Scott are a super couple. Tabu spent 12 hours with them in their lovely home and didn’t want to leave. They are doggy friendly and have made their home very welcoming to dogs and their owners. I can’t recommend highly enough and we will definitely be back. Already looking at our diaries to ensure Tabu can stay there again!! Thank you both.”
“Jing was amazing with our puppy Milo. She really helped us out with a last minute booking on 2 separate occasions and very quick response times. She took great care of our puppy with regular updates and photos. He came back super happy and well tired out. Thank you Jing for looking after Milo especially considering these were last minute bookings (the day before). We really appreciated it”
“Lisa did a fantastic job looking after my two dogs. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and they both were very happy,and well cared for when I got back. Really appreciated the photo updates too.”
About: I adore dogs, love getting to know them and adapting to looking after their unique personalities. I love giving them cuddles and lots of attention. I work from home 9 to 5 M-F and can fit caring around my job, I'm active and love walking so love taking dogs out for walkies. I have a cosy and warm 2 bed home with a safe enclosed 15m garden on a quiet cul-de-sac. I am proactive and thoughtful, making sure I can fit best around your and your pets needs so that your pet has an awesome time with me, and you can be safe in the knowledge they are being pampered and cared for well. Lots of nice walks nearby, and I like to vary my route to suit each dog I sit.
“Orla had a great time with Junior and Fabiana! She enjoyed her nice long walks, gets along really well with Blu and comes home a very happy girl every time. They’ve also been really flexible even with last minute requests, highly recommend 😊”
About: I want every dog in my care to feel like they are staying in a home away from home. I have plenty of time to give them attention, companionship, play and walks throughout the day, rather than leaving them on their own for long periods. I have a secure, fully fenced garden and no other pets, which means I can provide a calm environment and give each dog plenty of individual attention. I only take a small number of dogs at a time so I can focus on their needs and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I also understand how reassuring it is for owners to know their dog is happy and safe, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos during their stay. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and can fit walks, playtime, toilet breaks and plenty of attention into my daily routine. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, rest and bedtime, so they can have a familiar and comfortable experience while they’re in my care. For daycare and boarding, I’m able to give pets plenty of company throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. I have a calm, welcoming home with a secure, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe space to enjoy some outdoor time. I don't have any pets of my own, and I only take a small number of dogs at a time so I can give each one plenty of individual attention. I always follow owners’ instructions and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs. I’m patient with dogs who may be nervous or take a little while to settle, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos while they’re with me.
“Lottie had a great time with Nicole. She settled in quickly and Nicole created a good relationship with her straight away. I know she will be very happy to go to Nicole again.”
“I couldn't be happier with Lauren's day care services. Our dog, Baxter, had a fantastic time with her, making new doggy friends and feeling right at home. The whole experience, from pick-up to drop-off, was seamless and stress-free. Lauren was incredibly easy to communicate with, keeping me updated on how Baxter was doing and even sending photos. It gave me great peace of mind to know that Baxter was well cared for while I was away on the other side of the world. I highly recommend Lauren and her excellent services!”

I couldn’t be happier with the care Lindsey DoggyCaring provided for my dog, Cassie. It was Cassie’s first time with a dog minder, and Lindsey made the experience smooth and reassuring from start to finish. Her home is welcoming, her approach is calm and confident, and Cassie relaxed almost immediately. Lindsey is an excellent, friendly dog minder, and I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking reliable, compassionate care.

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

There are 2,510 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in South Oxfordshire. About 88% of South Oxfordshire 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 South Oxfordshire 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 .
