“Rachel did a great job housesitting our 14 year old beagle! Belle was relaxed and happy when we returned home, and the house was clean. I would definitely recommend Rachel to friends/family :-)”


“Christina was great. She was able to sit for my dogs on short notice. She sent updates and pictures several times a day. Both of my dogs are senior and she understood what needs senior dogs have. I'll definitely be booking Christina again.”


“Jeremiah took fantastic care of our dogs. He sent multiple updates each day with tons of pictures, so we never had to worry. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”

“Samantha was awesome with my large breed puppers! She was super sweet with him and handled him will and he became very comfortable with her. I highly recommend booking sam! 🤗”


“Braydon was 12/10. I will absolutely be using him in the future if he is available. My dogs were very obviously well taken care of, and it relived a lot of my stress while being gone. Communication and updates were better than any other rover or sitter i’ve used before.”


“Leah is an absolute gem! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away in Puerto Rico. We didn’t worry for a second, knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. Whiskey and Rye adore her (which says everything), and to top it all off, we came home to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it! Leah went above and beyond in every way, and we’ll 100% be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

When I met Cecilia in person, my worries immediately disappeared. Cecilia exceeded my expectations. I was able to relax while away and not worry about my girls. I was greeted every morning and throughout the day with pictures and videos of my girls, and she took wonderful care of my home. I will definitely be utilizing Cecilia’s services again!!”


“Kailin was fantastic! She was very easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and really seemed to enjoy my animals! I definitely recommend her and will use her again!”

“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”


“She was amazing! Lots of pictures and communication! My cats barely noticed I was gone :)”


About: Hi, I'm Candace! I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life, growing up in a household where training and caring for dogs was second nature. My mom and I even trained a toy schnauzer to be a certified service dog for my father! At home, our three Boston Terriers rule the roost. While the two older ones prefer to lounge in the back room, our youngest is always excited to make new furry friends. I do my best to be attentive and responsive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I never rush or pressure a dog to do anything they’re uncomfortable with. Every pup has their quirks—one of mine is scared of shiny floors, another is afraid of certain water bowls—so I make a point to be flexible and understanding. Because every dog is different, I typically keep boarded dogs separate from ours for the first half-day. This gives them time to settle in and adjust to a new environment at their own pace. Once they seem relaxed and comfortable, I slowly introduce them to our Boston Terriers, one at a time. This gradual approach has led to much smoother transitions than doing all the introductions right away. Our home is well set up for both safety and fun, with plenty of space for play, relaxation, and quiet time as needed. My boyfriend, Jimmy, and I have lived together for 14 years, and we’ve cared for hundreds of dogs over the years—proudly maintaining a 5-star rating! We're both very hands-on, making sure every pup gets regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of affection. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and provide them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away! I stay at home when I am boarding your pets so they have my full attention almost always. If I have to run to the store or anything like that, I have a Furbo camera so I can check in and talk with your pet and even toss them a treat or two while I’m away. Fully fenced in back yard. My home is shaped like a “U” inside so it can be partitioned in a way to give dogs private access to one whole half of the house if they prefer to stay separate.

Over 13 pet parents in Oxbow have booked house sitting
Oxbow pet parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha was the absolute best! It’s not often we leave our pups especially for a week and a half so we were nervous to find someone we trusted to take care them and make them feel good while we were gone- Samantha did that and more! Sent pictures and updates everyday and also we truly could tell she loved being around our pups which gave us a sense of ease. Highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter while you are away!

We love having Emily & Veronica take care of our dogs when we travel. They seem very comfortable around them, and they regularly update us on our pups.

Keishli was absolutely amazing taking care of our wheelie baby Archie! It was our first time having a sitter watch him for a full week after his disability, and I cannot thank Keishli enough for taking such good care of him and keeping us updated throughout the week. Archie warmed up to her right away, and we can’t wait to book again for future house visits!

Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.

Sydney is very attentive to your dogs and will actually spend time with them. The dogs warmed up to her immediately, and were excited every time she came to check on them.

Ana did an incredible job watching our two dogs for an entire week. We met twice before our trip and she asked all the right questions and was extremely thorough. She sent us updates throughout each day and it may us feel so confident and happy to know our pups were in good hands. Our pups take meds and have a specific routine and she was able to follow it perfectly. She’s great with communication and taking care of fur children. She’s truly an animal lover. She even brushed them and helped coordinate other visitors coming to the house. I highly recommend Ana!

Abigail did a great job- very communicative with picture and updates. Will definitely book again if needed.

Andrea was great with Bailey. Bailey can be stubborn sometimes but she was good for Andrea. She kept me updated and sent multiple pictures through out the day. I will definitely be booking her again!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my cat Lilith, she loved Emma from start. Emma provided me with daily pictures, videos and updates, she’s extremely knowledgeable in pet care and demonstrates her love for animals, my cat misses her already.

Tara made my first Rover experience so rewarding. We couldn’t ask for a better house sitter. My rescue doesn’t take to new humans so kindly but they bonded almost immediately. Tara is a definite keeper.

Victoria was so communicative and helpful! I knew my angels 🐾 were in great hands. I knew immediately when she stopped by for our meet & greet that she was going to be a new go-to for pet sitting.

Amazing, caring and communicative! Alexis has not only been wonderful to my animals but so kind and flexible as I’m out the country and the time change made some texting on my end difficult. Please book her if you love your babies

Brandy was an amazing house and pet sitter! She came to the rescue the night before we went out of town and our previous sitter cancelled. And during a holiday week too! She was very communicative and responded quickly and sent us updates of our boy and also spent so much time with him! Our house was just as we left it when we returned! We’re so thankful to have found Brandy and can’t wait for her to be our go to sitter in the future. Thanks for everything :)

Alison was amazing! She remembered every detail of our dogs care after only going over a long list once. She was attentive and communicated with us plenty. In sure Loki and Gigi thank her too! What a life saver!

This was my second booking with Mari and she did a fantastic job! She was great at keeping me in the loop with photos and updates on my kitties. My favorite thing of all was that she was able to make my SUPER shy cat, Flora, come out of her shell and explore/want pets instead of just hiding away in a closet. I think it speaks volumes to how kind and patient Mari is with the animals she cares for. I would trust her to watch my cats anytime and recommend her to others as well!

Stephanie was amazing! She went above and beyond for my cats and kept me up to date with adorable pictures of them. Even my cat who hates people warmed up to her! Highly recommend!!

Karla really saved me being able to watch my dog and cat last minute for the day! They loved her and she kept me updated the whole time!

Kailin was fantastic! She was very easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and really seemed to enjoy my animals! I definitely recommend her and will use her again!

Haylee was amazing. She stayed at the house in the guest bedroom but you wouldn’t have known it, except for our very happy, healthy and beautiful dogs! One of our dogs had to take horse size pills and I stubborn but some how she got the job done. I would hire her again anytime, completely trust worthy!

Our first Rover pet sitting exceeded all of our expectations! We recently had the pleasure of having Cecilia take care of our dogs while we were on vacation. From our first meet-and-greet we could tell that Cecilia had a professional, caring demeanor that immediately put us at ease. Throughout the entire time of her stay, she communicated with us and followed all of our instructions meticulously. She took the time to understand each dog’s unique and quirky needs — and handled it with ease. It was also a huge relief to come home and find everything exactly as we left it and happy dogs. Cecilia will undoubtedly be our first choice for any future pet-sitting needs. Thank you so much for caring for our furry family as if they were your own!
