Rachel has been great with my dog Hazel. She is great at communicating and letting me know the little details of the visit beyond just the path and basic report. I feel confident that my dog is in good hands while I am at work.

Zarah is so wonderful and caring! A true dog lover—perhaps dog whisperer—she communicates so well with our rescue Amstaff Aussie Cattle mix who can be stubborn. Hopper is very comfortable with Zarah and looks forward to spending time her. Thank you Rover for bringing Zarah to us!! And thank you Zarah for all that you do!!

Bruce is wonderful! He jumped in the help on absolutely no notice when my regular dogwalker got sick and walked my dog regularly (3x/week) for a month. Could not be happier and looking forward to hiring him again when the need arises

I can tell she truly loves animals. Xander usually barks at strangers but he was very calm with her. It was a very smooth experience with her and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much ❤️

About: Hi! I enjoy meeting, engaging with, and caring for family pets and have experience with all breeds of dogs and cats at all age ranges. I am available for ongoing long-term set schedules as well as flexible schedules for pet sitting. My schedule allows me to check in morning, midday, and/or late afternoons/evenings. I do not presently render services at my home, but I do not mind crating your dog at your home and enjoying many walks and hikes nearby.

Sarah is an amazing dog walker. Our dog can be a bit uneasy meeting new people, but Sarah knew exactly how to approach her and make quick friends. She was very communicative and professional. We will absolutely book with Sarah again!

About: I'm a crazy cat lady who also loves dogs! I've even fostered newborn kittens! We currently have 3 cats (Waldo, Moxie & Squirt, who was a foster fail) and an 11-year old terrier/chihuahua mix, Trixie. Our pets are our family and I will make sure yours are well cared for, including frequent photos! I'm a stay-at-home parent, so my schedule is very flexible to be able to take on pet-sitting! I love meeting new pups and kitties (and their owners)! I will take detailed notes about your routines with your pet and what your wishes are when you're away, and will follow those instructions to the letter. I have no problem reaching out if I have a question or need clarification. I like to send photos of your babies so you can be assured of their welfare, too.

About: I'd love to have the pleasure of meeting and taking care of your dog or cat. My belief is that there is no bad dog there's only bad owners. You just have to be patient and persistent. Each dog/cat has a different different personality but once you figure out what makes them tick the sky is the limit. Ever since the beginning of high-school I've had to care for our family dog "Necko" & Neighbors/ friends dogs. Always enjoyed doing it. since then I've had Multiple dogs, a bulldog, Australian shepherd, 2 Docsons, Staffordshire terrier pitbull & a Labradoodle. I love spending time with my dog "Marley' weather it's just laying watching TV together on the couch to going fishing, running the trails of dog parks together to swimming in the lake. People forget that as long as you have patience & show them love & affection & let them know they can trust you they will be your best friend, they trully are the most loyal animals. You can depend on me to treat your animal with all the same love & affection I'd show my own! I'd be more happy to have the chance to walk/ play with you're dog I currently am helping get my dad's house prepared to sell. Since my mother just passed away I took some time off to help dad get the estate in order. So I'm very flexible, just ask me. Weekend/days in the evening am always aviable from 6:30pm - 11pm. During the week depends on the day just double check with me, more than happy to answer ANY questions you have or requests you would like ask about. If I were to take your dog or cat overnight in you're home I'd be willing to take them out every 2hours. If special exceptions need to be made just let me know. Or there are certain requirements just let me know.

About: I am a semi retired veterinary assistant with nearly 20 years professional experience and a passion for caring for animals. As a life long pet owner myself, I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your pets at home. I appreciate and respect the trust that every owner puts in me when they contact me to care for their animal. I can give medications if needed, including injections. Also have worked in shelters and volunteer at rescues. I have taken care of senior dogs and cats. Feeding, walking, playing or if they have any special needs is not a problem. I have a flexible schedule and open to working with you to arrange drop in visits. Mid morning through later afternoons are open for me. If you need another time, just let me know. I'm happy to do whatever your pets need, whether they want to play, walk or just hang out. If they are a little shy and need time to get used to me is totally understandable, I will follow their cues. I will take my time to learn what they need and adapt to them. The goal is always to keep them as stress free as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Steph and I am a senior Veterinary Nursing major currently working in practice at as vet assistant in Shelton. Most of our classes have hands-on training and scenarios which translate into real world veterinary skills. I have been in the field for about 6 years now, I started volunteering at a local SPCA and immediately fell in love and knew that I wanted to work with animals forever! During my time as a vet nursing student I have completed courses such as Animal Disease & Nutrition, Anatomy & Physiology, Pharmacology, Parasitology, Radiology, Surgical Nursing and more! I have been able to worked in multiple animal care environments including veterinary hospitals, daycares, and shelters. Caring for animals and being able to help and care for them when other people can’t is truly my passion and what keeps me going in my field of work! All bookings can easily fit around my school schedule. Right now I am only taking a couple courses, so I am very flexible! I prefer to not stay at a clients home full time for days in a row, however again I can be flexible with the circumstances :) I live in an apartment complex that is animal friendly, I am a little OCD so my place is kept pretty tidy. I have a terrier/mix Cooper and a cat Reid who free roam the apartment at all times we have never had to crate either of them, but can if necessary(Also can separate cat if your pet isn’t cat friendly). Both are fed and cooper is walked relatively at the same times everyday, and are up to date on their exams & vaccinations (paperwork available). In other clients home I make it my priority to respect the wishes of the client. I understand everyone has their own way of doings things and that’s completely okay! I always keep my front door locked at home so I am very good at remembering to lock up after I leave.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Oxford on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,942 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Oxford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Oxford.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oxford. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
