About: I’ve worked in the pet industry since 2021, with a background in dog training, walking, and adventure hikes. I also have years of experience providing reliable in-home pet sitting. My goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe while giving owners complete peace of mind. I am available full time Monday through Friday to suit your pets needs. Weekend availability is possible, but must be planned in advance. Let's connect to discuss what works best for your pet's needs. I am able to provide walks, hikes or daycare services for you dog(s). Services must be a minimum of a half hour. Cat visits are also available for feline friends. I can also provide feedings or administer meds as needed.
“Thank you for always taking such good care of Remi, I always know she’s in good hands with both of you and it’s so nice not to worry about her when I’m out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
“Not only do we have 2 elderly and medically needy cats, Liz also had to navigate a new cat member to our family from The Cat Distribution System only 6 weeks ago and is still mostly relinquished to the (temperature controlled and safe finished) basement. She sent great updates that were reassuring with behaviors as evidence. She also took sooo many cute pics for 2x daily cat updates 😍 I would book with Liz again.”
“Evelina was awesome! We have an anxious pup who has a lot of energy. Avelina was informative, easy to communicate with, accessible, and genuinely seems to care for our girl. We will definitely be using her again in the future. We highly recommend her.”
“Liz was excellent. I was Away for the holidays for 6 days. Liz always showed up and communicated clear and well while taking care of my two cats. She did an excellent job with the feedings and keeping the cats area/litter box spotless. I couldnt Have asked for a better cat sitter/ in home visits. She even did this during Christmas Eve and Christmas, I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommended”
“Katie always does such a good job taking care of my fur babies while I’m away. She treats them as they were her own. I feel comfortable & confident they’re getting the best care.”
About: I have pet sat for years and have my own fur babies at home. I'm in college right now and I'm missing them, so let me spend some time with yours! I am home on summer break. Besides a part time job, I don't have much else going on! This means I am able to spend so much time with your furry friends. Whatever instructions I am given is what I will follow. Not everyone is the same when it comes to their pets needs, so keep me informed and I can help us all feel safe and trusted!
“Tori was able to squeeze in my very short notice appointment, she followed every instruction provided and most importantly used the 30ft leash provided so my dog could go to his favorite place to run laps! Couldn’t be happier and would recommend her to anyone looking for reliability! I will be using her again!”
“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!”
“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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with years of pet sitting for friends and family, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and am now in veterinary school. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I have experience with medication administration, animal handling, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, but my biggest priority is making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I will be completing an internship, but I will be available on weekends for pet sitting. I also have availability in the evenings and on weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits, making it easy to provide consistent care around my schedule. For cat care, I am able to provide boarding in my home where I ensure a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. For dogs, I provide care in the client’s home, where I follow all instructions closely and respect the home as if it were my own. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel secure and well cared for.
“Ashton is great! She has sitted for us twice now and something random always seems to go astray, but she handles the situation perfectly! I didn't worry about my pets when we were out of the country for 3 weeks, and that is saying A LOT. She has taken care of our dogs, cats, chickens and house bird. She also looks after the plants. Thank you, Ashton, for the piece of mind I needed to go so far away.”
“I can’t say enough about how much my boys loved Carley and how amazing she was with them. I’m not sure they even want me home!!! I can’t say enough… she treated my pups like they were her own!!!”
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!
About: I grew up with two small dogs and have had dogs in my family my entire life. I sit my friends dog days at a time and care for her as I would my own. I also have a new puppy who keeps my very busy! My schedule is very scattered and never the same. If I can make it work I will! Sitting dogs does not only prove my love for dogs but also keeps me busy. I enjoy the walks just as much as the dogs :) I live a big quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I have a big yard that can be used for playing and running around. I will make sure your pet is walked, fed, played with, loved, and brought out to use the bathroom. I believe crates are important and could be used. Also bathing could be completed, as needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Oxford
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.
Hannah has watched our dog multiple times and she is always reliable, great at communicating and flexible with our schedules. You can tell she loves animals and has a natural warmness to her when interacting with our dog which gives us peace leaving him in her presence. She spends time cuddling and petting him when he isn’t interested in a long walk and she always updates how the visits go. We couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely continue using her services whenever we need a dog walker.

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.
