Our ethos

Let dogs be dogs!

Our days are spent outdoors; moving through woodland trails, open spaces, and nature-rich environments that allow dogs to walk, sniff, explore, and socialise as dogs are meant to. The focus is on fulfilment, balance, and calm, not burning energy for the sake of it.

We believe dogs should be

  • Happy
  • Well
  • Free

This ethos determines everything we do.

How it works

We collect. We explore as a group. We return.

Quotes from grateful humans

What the humans say

  • You can tell they do what they love, rain or shine! I was/am struck by how well she’s genuinely learned our dog. I always know he’s in the best hands possible and comes home super happy, content and sleepy. It’s very much been the best thing we’ve done for our dog to keep him active and social! Can’t recommend them enough!!

    Michelleand JJ Gosforth

  • Phoebe has always been a sensitive dog, but Sarah’s calm, patient approach has helped her grow in confidence, and she comes home happy, content and pleasantly tired after spending time exploring with her doggy friends. We love seeing the photos and videos shared on social media of their beautiful woodland and beach adventures – it’s lovely to see Phoebe enjoying herself and having such wonderful experiences.

    Francescaand Phoebe Kenton

  • Chester is a nervous and shy dog but Sarah has brought him out of his shell. He runs out the door all excited and comes back very happy, she has found a group of other calm dogs who play well with Chester. He is very picky on who can be in his gang but loves his group. Amazing daycare with long days at the beach or in the woods!!! Highly recommend.

    Clareand Chester Cramlington

  • To describe our dog as full of quirks and unpredictability would be an understatement, but Sarah has easily taken her under her wing with such love and care! On top of that, Bonnie was a street dog who we later found out also had epilepsy, and Sarah has been so incredibly understanding and patient around her needs. Bonnie’s life has been one big adventure and it brings us so much joy that she gets to carry on the adventures with Olive and Oscar’s! Thank you so much.

    Naomiand Bonnie Ouseburn

  • Their kindness and genuine love for dogs is evident. Always reliable and communicative, it gives us total peace of mind knowing Eddie is safe, happy and in such capable hands. We recommend Olive & Oscar’s wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a truly exceptional dog walker.

    Victoriaand Eddie Cramlington

  • Sarah goes above and beyond to make sure every dog has the best time, and it’s such a comfort knowing Rosie is in such safe, experienced, and caring hands. The photos and updates always make my day, and it’s wonderful seeing Rosie having so much fun, exploring new places, making friends, and enjoying every minute of her adventures. Rosie always comes home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired after a day with Sarah, which says everything about how much she enjoys it.

  • Our very energetic golden retriever has been going on weekly adventures with Olive & Oscar’s for months and it’s by far his absolute favourite activity of the week! Sarah is amazing and loving with him, she’s super reliable and was professional right from the start. You can tell they do what they love, rain or shine!

  • We feel so lucky to have found Sarah at Olive & Oscar’s. Phoebe absolutely loves her weekly walks, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in such caring and capable hands. Sarah has really taken the time to get to know Phoebe and understands her individual needs, especially as she’s getting older and can be a little stiff some days. She always adapts the walks to how Phoebe is feeling, keeping her on the lead when needed or taking things at a gentler pace, and it’s never treated as an inconvenience. It’s so reassuring to know Phoebe’s wellbeing always comes first. Phoebe has always been a sensitive dog, but Sarah’s calm, patient approach has helped her grow in confidence, and she comes home happy, content and pleasantly tired after spending time exploring with her doggy friends. We love seeing the photos and videos shared on social media of their beautiful woodland and beach adventures – it’s lovely to see Phoebe enjoying herself and having such wonderful experiences. We honestly couldn’t recommend Sarah and Olive & Oscar’s highly enough. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Phoebe – it means so much to us.

  • My goldador Pablo has a blast with sarah and the other dogs. He always comes back absolutely exhausted. And I know he has am amazing time because hes so excited everytime she comes to pick him up. Id 100% recommend Olive & Oscars to anyone looking for a day care with an active dog. The photos I get back are worth the money on their own.

  • We feel so lucky to have stumbled across Olive and Oscar’s day care! Sarah is just so lovely and we trust her completely with our wee dog Bonnie. To describe our dog as full of quirks and unpredictability would be an understatement, but Sarah has easily taken her under her wing with such love and care! On top of that, Bonnie was a street dog who we later found out also had epilepsy, and Sarah has been so incredibly understanding and patient around her needs. Bonnie’s life has been one big adventure and it brings us so much joy that she gets to carry on the adventures with Olive and Oscar’s! Thank you so much, we couldn’t recommend Sarah highly enough!
