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.
“Wanda spent a great day with Lisa. My Wanda had a treatment on her paws and Lisa applied it without problem. She spent a great day resting and exploring the garden. Very happy with the service, I definitely recommend daycare with Lisa.”
“Our dog Dee Dee had a lovely stay with Charlotte and Chris and their two dogs. They sent us lots of updates on how she was doing it through the day, with plenty of cute photos! Dee Dee seemed really happy and relaxed after her stay and I would happily book her in with Charlotte and Chris again.”
“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!”

About: We are both students who have just finished our architecture masters so have some free time over summer. We both love dogs and cats and have grown up with them as pets. We have also looked after our neighbours’ dogs and cats in Manchester and would love to take care of yours! We are both students who have finished for summer so have lots of free time! We would spend the day giving your pet our full attention, playing with it and having lots of cuddles. For dogs- we would love to take them on walks round our nearby parks. We have a clean, safe apartment for your pet to stay in. Our apartment building has an outside terrace which is enclosed so dogs can have a run around while off their lead. We have a park across the road for walks.
“Thank you Chenyan and Suki for taking great care of Bella for the day. They gave us lots of updates, photos and videos and Bella seemed very content. The meet & greet beforehand made me feel very confident about how they would take care of Bella. Very happy to have found these local sitters! Thank you!”
“This was Busby’s second time with Jen and once again he had an amazing time. He couldn’t wait to get through the door. Jen sent updates and photos throughout the day which always put my mind at ease. Busby will be back again soon :)”
“We really appreciated the last minute dog sitting Lenna agreed to do for Bruce. When we arrived Lenna was very friendly, Bruce was very excited she was happy to allow him to explore the space to try to let him to settle. Unfortunately Bruce was quite unsettled during the morning which was evident when I picked him up. It was in part probably because he is quite a big puppy in a smaller space than expected. I was told Bruce also became quite unsettled with Lena’s husband who wasn’t present when I arrived to drop him off, and I was also told when we arrived initially that he wasn’t aware that Bruce would be there. Bruce is quite a sensitive puppy and would have picked up on the situation and I suspect this would have added to heightened stress which I think was felt all round.”
About: Dog obsessed and experienced with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve been walking dogs for over 16 years for clients, friends, and family, as well as volunteering at a dog rescue where I worked and trained with shy and reactive dogs. I’ve also owned a Romanian rescue dog for the past 5 years, which has given me hands on experience training in handling reactivity, building trust and understanding the full needs of a reactive dog. I'm currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible and can walk your dog whenever suits you and your furry friend. I am available Mon-Fri and most weekends. I have a fully fenced secure garden and live close to lots of lovely areas to walk and play. Love to go for long walks and go for some adventures!
“Fedra was a lovely friendly person to meet. She looked after my dog well with lots of understanding and affection as my dog can get quite anxious. Would recommend! Location is great too if you're visiting Edinburgh city centre :)”

There are 2,467 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 .
