“I could never praise about Kristie enough! She’s so good about staying in contact throughout her visits! She’s trustworthy and so kind. I think our pup was sad when we came home, he loves Kristie that much! :)”
“Shayla is great with communication and flexibility. I have had a lot of last minute changes and she handles it all with ease. She handles my pack very well and gives them extra attention even though she’s only there for my puppy. I appreciate everything she does and continues to do.”

About: I, and my dog Gucci enjoy being social and spending time with others. I have only one dog and Gucci enjoys social time with the dogs we board. I have a large yard away from busy roads, a our house is currently under construction and pet friendly. We enjoy at least two walks daily. Your pup will be safe and secure in our home and out and about with us on our walks. It's always a good idea and we prefer to have dogs meet before drop off for boarding. The meet-n-greet will ensure everybody gets along and stays safe. We look forward to speaking with you and sharing more details regarding our care of your fur baby. Please feel free to reach out for more info or to discuss special needs. Gary and I are retired and have the time needed o focus on your pup. We are both active and enjoy hiking and walking around our property. Our girl Gucci enjoys the company of other dogs and is mellow and easy going. Although I do not have a fenced yard, the property is large and a great distance from busy streets. I will ensure your pup is safe whether requiring a leashed or off-leash walk. I am accustomed to keeping track of dog Gucci and ensuring she is secure and I know where she is at all times.
“Jessica was a pleasure to work with. She was super flexible, true to her word, and cared for our kittens like they were her own. She gave each kitten the time and attention they needed during each visit. She was on time and always sent me pictures and videos of her visits. Highly recommend.”
About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine, and I bring over five years of hands-on veterinary experience to every pet-sitting visit. My background includes emergency and urgent veterinary care, senior and special-needs pets, medication administration, and caring for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn their individual routines, personalities, and preferences so they can enjoy familiar surroundings and personalized attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, my goal is to make their time with me as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe great pet care is about more than feeding and walking. It's about patience, attentiveness, trust, and genuinely enjoying the animals in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I work a rotating schedule at a veterinary clinic while pursuing my second master's degree. My workdays and days off vary each week, often giving me several consecutive days off and flexibility for pet care. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my availability and am happy to coordinate visits, walks, and extended care around my schedule. Caring for animals is both my profession and my passion! With nearly five years of hands-on veterinary experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, and medical needs. My experience includes administering medications and injections, recognizing signs of illness, and caring for frightened, anxious, and rescued animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medical attention, playtime, or simply a reassuring presence, my goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. You tell me what works best for your pet, and I'll do my best to maintain that routine while you're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxford
Paisha was great with my babies! She did everything exactly how we discussed beforehand. She sent pictures at every visit and occasionally videos. My babies really liked her and I could tell they were loved on and played with. I will definitely be using her again! She is very sweet and did a great job!!
Thanks again for taking such good care of my babies. They know good and dang well how to use their litter box, yet I guess that's the only way they can protest that they aren't let outside while Mom is gone. Thank you for handling that litterbox tantrum. They even left another one for me for when i got back. 🤦 They were happy and healthy when I got home, and not even mad, thankfully. 😆 I appreciate you, and I'll definitely be requesting you for my next trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Oxford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 128 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
