Doggy Day Care West Oxfordshire

About: Hi, I’m Kate 👋 I’m a reliable and caring dog lover based in Witney. I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and have regularly cared for family and friends’ dogs, including my sister’s dog, when they travel or need extra support. Over the years, I’ve learned how important routine, patience and consistency are — especially for dogs who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I’m naturally detail oriented, responsible and organised, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding plans, medication instructions and any routines your dog is used to. I offer a calm, loving home environment with plenty of attention, cuddles and regular photo updates, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your dog will be treated as part of the family in my home 🐾 My routine is calm and structured, with time set aside for walks, play and rest. I prioritise keeping your dog’s normal routine to help them feel settled and secure. ***There may not always be children present during your dog’s stay — please feel free to discuss any specific needs your dog may have.*** I provide a calm, safe and loving home environment. I follow each dog’s usual routine, feeding schedule and any specific care instructions carefully. I have a secure home environment and can crate your dog if needed (only if this is something they are used to). I only take a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure each dog receives proper attention and care.

“Heidi has had an incredible day with Victoria. Victoria has been absolutely amazing. From the initial meet to drop off and pick up. Nothing has been too much trouble. She sent pictures of Heidis day (which was amazing for a nervous mum) and Heidi was completely relaxed and happy at pick up. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you”

“Dale was accommodating from the start. He stayed in frequent contact with pictures and updates. Buckley was calm and relaxed when I arrived home with him. He had clearly enjoyed his day. Dale and his partner were lovely and very complimentary about Buckley. I would definitely use them again!”

About: Hello, I’m Steph! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering drop-ins and doggy daycare. I’ve grown up around dogs and share my home with a very friendly cocker spaniel who loves canine company. I’m currently training as a dog groomer, which has given me a strong understanding of gentle handling, patience, and recognising when dogs need space or reassurance. Daycare guests can relax and play in a calm home environment with a secure fenced garden. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’ll adapt care to suit them. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your dog is happy and settled. Reach out to me to secure your space! I’m currently training part-time, which allows me to offer flexible and reliable daytime availability for drop-ins and doggy daycare. This means I can provide calm, attentive, and consistent care for your dog. I understand how important it is to feel completely confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care. My home is safe, peaceful, and dog-friendly, with a secure fenced garden for supervised play and fresh air. I create a relaxed environment where dogs can settle comfortably, whether they love activity or prefer a quieter pace. With my own very friendly cocker spaniel, I’m experienced in managing dog dynamics and ensuring positive, stress-free interactions. I’m extremely attentive and always guided by what makes each dog feel happiest and most secure.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible, kind and caring dog lover with a 4-year-old whippet of my own, so I’m very used to looking after and understanding dogs’ needs. I live in my own home with a secure garden, giving dogs a safe space to relax and play. Your dog will be treated like part of the family and get plenty of love, attention and care while they’re with me. Available for dog sitting on weekdays and weekends. Also available for dog boarding on weekends. I work from home full time in the week so can offer time and attention - and all the toilet breaks needed! I have a semi-detached house, with a fenced garden and a very sweet 4 year old whippet to keep your doggy company. My dog is allowed on my furniture and I'm happy to allow yours on there too.

About: I have a love and passion for all animals and years of experience taking care of many different breeds of dogs. I had a beautiful deaf female for many years, and i have taken care of dogs with additional needs. I am am an experienced dog trainer with basic and advanced obedience knowledge. Your fur baby will get loved and cared for just like my own with plenty of love affection and lots of walkies. I am now retired so I am lucky to have the time needed to be at home with your fur baby playing, walking and general fussing. I don't leave my own dog often he tends to come with me. So if your dog is happy to come to the occasional coffee shop and garden centre they will have a great time. Due to past experiences with dogs that are not used to cats I have made the decision I can not put my cat through any trauma again. Therefore dogs that get on with cats only please. I have two very friendly dogs that your fur baby can play with, and your house will be kept immaculate. I am happy to do whatever you require to insure your dogs are well cared for.

“Our Daisy had a wonderful time with Alex and the other dogs in his house. It was the 2nd time he took care of her for the day and I am very happy to have found someone like Alex to take good care of her when I need to be away on business.”

Johan V.

“We were so happy to leave Alba with Jess. She clearly knows and loves dogs, Alba came home bouncy and in a great mood, and made sure to give Jess a goodbye cuddle before she left! We hope they’ll be able to spend time together again soon.”

Rosemary L.

“Mochi came back very happy from her day with Silma. Silma provides a welcoming family home and safe enclosed garden so I’m sure Mochi made herself at home!”

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 and training in handling reactivity, building trust, and creating calm, positive walks tailored to each dog’s needs. 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!

“Minnie had a really enjoyable short stay with Quentin. He took really good care of her and provide regular updates including photos. Highly recommend Quentin for anyone visiting Oxford, especially given the city centre location.”

“Cinthya was lovely with Maisy who was very relaxed abs happy around her. We shall definitely be asking Cinthya to have Maisy again. Very happy.”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was little. My first interaction with a dog was when my uncle brought home an adorable Labrador puppy called Charlie and been a dog lover ever since then. In more recent year myself and my partner have looked after multiple dogs of borrow my doggie and really enjoyed helping out. I work for a children’s charity, and work from home 4 days a week. I usually go for a shorter walk in the mornings and at lunch time and then after I clock off from work I will go out for an hour or so. Plenty of opportunities to get out and about. We live in the countryside with a large fenced garden. When having dogs stay before they often love exploring the smells and pond in the garden. If staying at your house we will adapt to your routines and expectations of the dog.

About: Hi! I'm Grazia. I quite simply revolve my life around animals. I have extensive, hands-on experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, and horses, and one of my defining characteristics is being a little (okay, a lot) obsessed with them. Everyone in the Arctic knows me as the person who took her bunnies to the wilds of the North Pole because she didn't trust a petsitter would love them enough - so I know exactly what it's like to leave your babies with someone else. My main qualities: I give tons of affection (always tailored to each animal's character), I'm incredibly patient and reliable, flexible in emergencies - and I believe strongly in VIDEO calls and very frequent updates, because a video tells you whether your pet is truly happy in a way a photo simply can't. It's what I'd want for my own. I love to build longer-term friendships and relationships with locals and the animals I care for. A bit about my experience: I'm known for having rehabbed both a difficult/blind cat and a dog — helping them learn to trust and love again through sitting quietly for hours each day while they came to understand that love was available entirely on their own terms. I adore dogs of all sizes and love exercising them and making them feel free. I have personally had 2 dogs (and many wonderful dog sit experiences), 11 cats, and 2 bunnies. I've volunteered for 1.5 years across dog shelters. I've also dealt with pets with behavioural challenges while caring for animals in Amsterdam, and managed to create several breakthroughs that had previously stumped their guardians. Our bunnies in Sweden had previously taken over our lives in the most wonderful way - owning 2 private bedrooms and a 3,500 sqm garden. Anyone who has cared for bunnies properly knows they are extremely sensitive but strong little creatures who need space, quiet, and extraordinary patience - so I'm well-equipped for even the most challenging characters. I also have extensive home-care experience from years of staying in others' homes, and multiple glowing Airbnb and TrustedHousesitters references. I treat every home with more care and respect than my own; it's simply how I show respect. A few practical notes: - Non-smoker, non-drinker - Fully comfortable administering medication and have experience with 12-hour overnight tummy massages that have avoided vet visits (yes, really 🙂) - Very communicative - I believe in keeping communication fully open, always! - I'm not comfortable sitting animals kept in cages unless strictly for medical reasons (this includes caged bunnies) - Harry Potter fan ⚡ I'd love to offer you a video call and meet up before we begin! Vibes matter enormously to me, and I'm genuinely hoping to become a temporary (and lasting) part of your animal's family. I'll treat the little (or big) ones accordingly - and provide the confidence, warmth, kindness, communication and professionalism to ensure you're never left guessing. I work from home building my 2 organisations; one is for brain health and the other is an animal rights movement. Therefore, I'd have plenty of time to play with the babies. In fact, I orient my whole day around cuddle o'clock, training and walkies. I have a fenced garden and can provide flexible accommodation in terms of your preferences. My only restrictions would be cage-only sits - and if your pet allows, I am kind of in love with playing, jumping with and cuddling dogs, allowing cats to sleep on me for hours (obviously you then cannot move) and even taming bunnies.

“She is great, Bori came back home and slept five hours straight which I took as a real fun hanging out with Amanda’s doggo during two walks. He looked like he had a good comfortable day.”
