About: I’ve had dogs my whole adult life and wouldn’t know what life is like without them. I have an aging Beagle called Poppy who still enjoys long walks and longer naps. I’ve recently retired and now look forward to spending time with more fur babies, giving them the love and attention they need so you can enjoy your holiday I’m a retired active woman with nothing but time on my hands and a gorgeous beagle. We walk twice a day right from the house as I’m fortunate enough to have lots of lovely walks right on my doorstep. My garden is completely enclosed and safe. My home is comfortable and dogs are welcome on the sofa for cuddles. I have a large crate available if the dog wants to use it.
“Sara was great. She responded very promptly every time I contacted her and was really flexible when I changed meeting dates. Our dog had a lovely day with Sara and her pooch Taylor. Sara sent me pics of to keep me updated to show that our pooch was relaxed and happy. Thanks so much Sara”
“Our border terrier digby had a wonderful stay with Lisa, we had so many updates throughout the day and he was well looked after by her, he looked so happy and content, highly recommended 😃 will definitely use Lisa again.”
“Clare and her husband were wonderful with our old dog, not familiar with anywhere other than home. I really appreciated their flexibility, taking him at the last minute, and letting me know how he was getting on. I’m extremely grateful”
“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.”
“Jing was brilliant! 🤩 Theo had a wonderful weekend with Jing’s dog Daisy and I loved getting so many photo updates throughout his stay. Thank you so much for looking after my boy, he had a fab time and I was so relieved he was in such good hands with you!!”
“Our cat went to stay with Stacey for a week, she did a wonderful job of taking care of him, even went out of her way to get him to eat when he decided not too. We got sent some pictures which put our minds at ease. We will definitely use Stacey in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Emmanuel and Jo took our 1 yr old puppy for 4 nights boarding at short notice and we are very grateful to them for looking after him so well! He's a very active dog and they took him out several times a day for walks and runs, kept him busy and occupied with new experiences. They kept us informed every day with photos letting us know what they'd been doing and made sure our dog felt comfortable at all times. Communication was great and we'd love to have them sit again if our dog wasn't too much for them! Thank you both 🙏”
“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”
“Amanda was so kind, and excellent communication and updates throughout really set us at ease. The whole family took such good care of our Hazel-- I think she loved her stay. I'd strongly recommend Amanda and we'll definitely be working with her again in future.”
“Fabulous from start to finish! Megan was efficient, friendly and clearly loved the dogs along with her partner Craig. They asked lots of questions about feeding, routine etc. when we arrived - and the dogs had a terrific time whilst they were there (certainly judging by lots of piccies sent to us!). The facilities are perfect for doggie care and Craig and Megan are just the best carers. Will definitely book again..... Thank you both.”
“Dominique was absolutely fantastic with Bert. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cares about dogs and takes her responsibilities seriously. Bert was so well looked after — happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable in her care. Dominique kept us updated, was reliable and thoughtful throughout, and went above and beyond to make sure Bert felt settled and loved. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such safe hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Dominique to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive sitter. We would be delighted for Bert to stay with her again in the future”
“Took Lilo, my little whippet here for a stay and she had the best of stays! Entertained throughout and has gained a new friend in Butters Will definitely use them again in the future”
About: I've had both dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny Pomeranians to a German Shepherd, so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Since moving to the UK, I've also gained experience through BorrowMyDoggy, looking after some wonderful furry friends. Some of my favourite guests include Lola the Maltese, Winston the giant Goldendoodle, and Cooper, a darling three-toothed cat! ❤️ I don't have any children or pets of my own, so your pet will enjoy a calm, quiet home with plenty of love and affection. We also have an unfenced meadow just outside for short walks, sniffing, and the occasional zoomies! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I keep doors and windows secure during warmer weather and use fans to keep the house cool and comfortable. I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before a booking so you, and most importantly your pet, can get to know me and feel completely at ease. I absolutely adore animals and look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you both! I work full-time, splitting my week between the office (3 days) and working from home (2 days). When I'm caring for a furry guest, I'm happy to adjust my schedule so I can be home more often. On office days, I'm only a 15-minute cycle from home, and I also have a car if needed. My office is also dog-friendly, so with your permission and if it's the right fit for your pup, they may even be able to join me at work! I live in a comfortable two-bedroom townhouse, so there's space for pets who enjoy a quiet retreat as well as those who prefer to be by my side throughout the day. Weekends are usually relaxed. I enjoy spending time at home and taking leisurely walks around the neighbourhood, making it the perfect time for extra sniffs, cuddles and playtime! I don't have any children or pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention during their stay. For your pet's safety, I will always keep them on a lead when we are outside unless you have specifically discussed another arrangement with me. I’m happy to take dogs for walks in the morning and evening before and after work, as well as offering a final toilet break before bedtime. I want your dog to feel as comfortable as possible while they’re away from home, so you’re welcome to bring their bed, blanket, or any familiar items that help them settle in. I’m very safety-conscious in my home and keep doors and windows securely closed so pets can relax safely. During warmer weather, I make sure they stay comfortable with fans and other cooling measures. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I have a car that I can use to transport your pet if needed.
“Olivia and Harry provided such a welcoming environment for my dog who has separation anxiety. He was treated so well and it’s clear they have lots of experience. He loved his overnight stay and was reluctant to come home with me when I picked him up - which is a sure sign he received the best care.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Vale of White Horse is £35

OUTSTANDING experience from start to finish! Frankie is just lovely and looked after my two sighthounds quite beautifully. I was kept informed with lots of video's, there is plenty of space and Frankie's dog Huntress is just beautiful and SO well behaved - particularly with my lunatic Italian Greyhound! I had clips of plenty of walks, and the fussy eater ate everything put in front of her - so clearly relaxed and happy. I couldn't be more thrilled and will definitely book again in the future. THANK YOU FRANKIE!
We were delighted with the care and attention Dominique gave Badger during his three and a half week stay. He had obviously been looked after very well, and she kept us informed about his care throughout. We would have complete confidence in leaving him with her again. Thank you!
Rosie and Wilbur gave Dolly the best holiday and would definitely recommend their extra special care and attention to any dog owner! We received daily updates and photos of Dolly out in walks, playing with Wilbur and enjoying the sun in the garden. Dolly was quite sad to leave I think and moped around the house for the first few hours! Thank you Rosie for taking such great care of Dolly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Vale of White Horse on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of July 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 .
