“Sara was wonderful! My dogs loved her and she even went out of her way to bring them carrots as treats (due to allergies). She came on time and sent me updates that put my mind at ease. I will definitely be reaching out to her again 💕🐾”
About: I am a reliable dog sitter for friends and family. I owned 2 of my own dogs in the past, a boxer and cocker spaniel mix. I have a pretty flexible/varied schedule. Please send me a message and we can definitely work something out to fit the needs of your pet! Whichever directions or specifications you have for your pet I will always do my best to follow them! I do not offer home services at the moment.
“Gabriela was fantastic at cat sitting! She was very invested in learning about Rhea and her personality. Gabriela did a great job completing the tasks we’d left for her and she sent detailed summaries every visit. Gabriela even was able to engage Rhea into playing more than usual by crafting a toy. Would highly recommend Gabriela for any sort of pet sitting :)”
“Ashley was very attentive and great in communicating and keeping us updated with the walks and check ins while we were away. They were well care for and left us at ease. The doggie report card and updates were very positive.”
“Katie is awesome and our dogs love her and even our stubborn boy is starting to warm up to her! Thanks so much for taking care of our pups on our special day!!”
About: I have solid pet care experience — in my own home and staying at owners' homes to care for pets and houses. I have cared for dogs, cats, and even farm animals over the years. I live in a large house with two fully fenced yards, a seasonal pool, and walking trails nearby, so pets have plenty of room to run, relax, or explore on leash. I also have two dogs of our own, Loki (7) and Nelly (14), both friendly, well-behaved 50lb mixed breeds — Loki's a bit more active, Nelly's calm and sweet. They may bark when someone new arrives but warm up fast, so we know how to help nervous pets settle in. Whether it's an active young dog or a senior who needs a gentler routine, I tailor the care to fit. Pet care is woven into my everyday life. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day for feeding, potty breaks, and attention — not squeezing visits in around a job. My own dogs are let out into the fenced yard at least 4-5 times a day, right from the front door, and I take them on a walk daily. With two fenced yards, a pool, and trails nearby, pets get plenty of room to play and explore. Because I'm home consistently, sitting jobs fit naturally into my day — your pet gets frequent check-ins and a routine that doesn't feel rushed. I take pet care in my home very seriously — I consider pets family, and the top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease from the moment they arrive. My main focus is hosting sits in my own home, but I'm also open to sitting at a client's home nearby. I have done several sits in other people's homes, and I take that responsibility seriously: I make it a priority to learn a pet's routine — feeding times, walk schedules, favorite spots, any quirks — and stick to it closely so there's as little disruption as possible. I'm also a respectful guest in someone else's home, treating the space and belongings with care, just as I would want someone to treat mine. Whether it's my place or yours, pets get consistent routine and full attention.
“I could not ask for a better dog sitter! Between the care, concern and communication ,I felt very comfortable leaving my fuzzy baby with Paul! I will definitely use him again. He’s very reliable!!!”
About: My motto: Leave them better than you came in. Whether that means extra cuddles, play time, daily walks, cleaning cages, or cleaning the house, I will make sure that by the end of my first visit, your pet will feel happy, comfortable, and safe with me. About me: I have had pets my entire life and am well-acquainted with the needs of various animals. In addition to my childhood pets, I have taken care of animals for friends and family for about 10 years now. I have taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, lizards, and birds and understand the importance of finding someone you trust to care for your pet. It is no stress on me to live with your pet for a week, come by for a walk, or drop in and visit throughout the day. I can work around my schedule any day of the week to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I can easily leash and crate any animal who requires it. Your pet will get food and love every day (obviously!) If needed, I will take your pet for walks regularly and take pride in my ability to keep a space clean, including cleaning up after a pet in the yard or in public. All doors and windows will stay locked and will be checked before I leave the residence, all lights will be turned off when not in use, and I don't run washing machines, dryers, or dishwashers when I am away.
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of pets ever since I was young. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, farm animals..pets are family and should be cared for as such! I love being around furry friends and have experience caring for all ages. I am comfortable administering medication with dogs and cats. I currently have an open schedule as I am transitioning in careers. I do prefer a little notice so I can make sure I’m fully available. Pets are part of the family and are treated as such. I would get details on each pet to ensure I’m caring for them the way they normally are.
“Laura took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for ten days. She kept in regular contact with us, and our cat was in good spirits when we got home. We would definitely hire Laura again!”
About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.
About: Ive taken care of animals my entire life. I am patient which is needed when it comes to animals. I have a passion for fur babies. I will treat your pets as my own. I work fulltime Monday to Friday (remote) but I am free after 5. I am available any time on weekends. I may have flexibility during the weekdays. I make sure there is nothing hazardous around that the animals could get into. Make sure i am keeping them inside if i open the door. Cleaning up after them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“Ashton is amazing! She's on time, gives updates, has great communication skills, and most importantly is so good with our dogs :) We have hired her multiple times and cannot recommend her enough. This last time, we had a last minute trip and I reached out to her on the day of and she was able to help us out!”
About: I have experience working with many different animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even cattle. I love spending time with animals and currently working as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic. I have lots of experience pet sitting and dog walking and also have experience working around livestock so no dog is too big! Walking your dog will be of great enjoyment for both myself and your pet and I will work to create a bond between me and your pet so that we both make the most of our time. I can’t wait to work with you and your fur baby! I go to school full time, so pet sitting and dog walking is something I do on the side, so I can spend more time with animals! If possible I like to meet dogs for the first time with their owner around to lower their stress and slightly away from their home if possible (particularly if they are known to be protective of their homes).
About: I love all animals and have ample experience taking care of several different kinds and ages. I have taken care of fosters. I have taken care of newborns. My dog had a litter 5 puppies and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I will treat your pets like they are my own. I am reliable and trustworthy. I love seeing animals happy. I will take the best care of your pet! My schedule is very flexible at this time. I will only be working part time at my current job after coming off of maternity leave. I live in a cozy condo in a woodsy area of Auburn. I do not have a backyard, but I have a great neighborhood for walking around. There are many other dogs in my neighborhood. I have plenty of space in my condo for the comfort of my cats and one additional pet to take care of. I have taken care of pets of all ages!

Robert was fantastic! He was reliable, communicative, and took great care of Nelly while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in good hands made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my trip. Nelly seemed happy and comfortable with him, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I’d absolutely recommend Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!
Jenna is very responsive and attentive to all details provided. She takes excellent care of the dogs and ensures they get plenty of exercise for when she comes over and visits. Jenna really took the time to learn about the pups and continues to engage with them the whole time she is with them. She had no issues with all of the special requests as my dogs are getting older and made sure they felt safe and supported. Highly recommend! We have used her numerous times and feel that our dogs are in safe hands with her.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Oxford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in North Oxford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
