“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!!”
About: I grew up with a yellow lab that I cared for throughout my childhood. I now have 2 amazing rescue labs Ellie and Bobby that get along really well with other dogs. I also volunteer with Companion Pet Rescue. I am flexible with my schedule on the weekends and will try my best to accommodate your needs. Just let me know what services you are looking for and I will confirm my availability. I have a fenced in yard which my dogs love to play in. I also take them for walks, runs, or hikes! My home is very clean and quiet. Making it a safe space for your pets that you can feel comfortable leaving them.
About: Since I was a kid, I’ve had Guinea pigs, birds, cats, and now the dog mom to two wonderful dogs. Let me help ease your mind during days that are a bit hectic for you. Let me know your pets routine and I will take care of the rest. I look forward to meeting you! I currently work full-time with an hour lunch. I can take care of your pet during my break, after 5pm or anytime on weekends. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule.

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.
“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 ❤️”
“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 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: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.
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 passionate about animals, taking care of them, loving them, especially since they are not able to communicate for themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and full of unconditional love and being with them every day is a pure joy and doesn't feel like a job. I go above and beyond to take care of these animals, which are family. I am very loving, kind, reliable, dependable and enjoy being with dogs, petting them, being affectionate with them and taking care of them is very rewarding. This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and a joy to be with dogs of all kinds, walking with them, taking care of them, talking to them is very rewarding. Thank you very much. I’m available for pet care because pet care is my full time job and it’s my passion for the past decade and I love it I will care for them as you tell me too. I give lots of love and care and petting. Animals love to be pet continually

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.

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.
