About: I’ve been caring for animals since age of 10. From hand rearing baby bunnies, feeding ducks, chicken and kittens to puppies to all grown up cats she dogs even feeding baby cows I just love animals. Happy to help where I can. I currently work at a local medical practice 3 days a week part time so can fit in on my days off and come before and after work. I work part time 3 short days a week with 4 out of 7 days off it fits in pretty easy. I always make it work. I have 3 children who just love animals aswell sometimes they like to come with me and help me with walking fussing and feeding under my supervision but they know on occasions they can’t if your furry friend is not overly keen on children. As I work in healthcare I’m fully dbs checked also.
“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.”
About: We have been looking after pets for 20+ years. From my first puppy, Muffin, when I was 10 to looking after friends and family’s dogs simply because we love them. We have got extensive experience looking after multiple breeds. I work from home so I am around at all times of day to look after your dog. We are also available at weekends and during school holidays. We have multiple closed off spaces so your pet can have their own space when they want/need it if we are looking after more than one dog at a time. We have a few dogs that we frequently look after, so your dog will quickly become friends with them - coming to our house is like meeting up with all their friends (they get so excited to see each other). We have a safe and enclosed medium sized garden, and are surrounded by miles and miles of fields so there is plenty of space for your dog to play.
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.
“Friendly welcome as always. Sent regular updates including photos and responded very quickly to any messages I put in chat. Saffron seemed happy when I picked her up and then crashed when I got her back home, which is always a good sign she's been stimulated and active. Jing had been flexible in drop off and collection times because circumstances had changed, which was appreciated. Another successful stay with Jing”
“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!”
“I am so glad to have found Emily and Ed to look after Ghillie two days a week. Emily took the time to understand Ghillie’s needs and story, which put me at ease. I experience them both as kind and caring; communication is smooth and easy. Highly recommend ☺️”
“Thank you to Lisa for providing such good care of Gus today. Lisa sent updates and Gus seemed very comfortable and happy with her. I am very glad to have found you and won't hesitate to consider & recommend you for any future dog care!”
“Nicole is amazing with Coco. Coco had a great time. Coco enjoyed pup group. Was so nice to see them all playimg so well. Nicole sent photos throughout the day. So pleased to have found Nicole”
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.
About: Former rescue dog owner. Have been around pets all my life. Loving home with enclosed garden in a new development so away from main roads and plenty of open space. Work from home so available all day. Fun and energetic couple. We enjoy walks. No pets at home and no kids. I work from home in my garden cabin so dog will have ability to be outside at all times. We enjoy walks so will be taken often. No kids or pets at home so a safe relaxing environment I have a fenced garden and surrounded by open spaces. Dogs will take centre stage and have free roam on couch and plenty of attention.
“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 😊”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Oxfordshire on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
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 .
