About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up with a Yellow Lab who was part of my family for 15 wonderful years. Today, I’m lucky to have two rescue dogs of my own, Ellie and Bobby, who I adopted through Companion Pet Rescue. I’ve been volunteering with Companion Pet Rescue for over a year, and I’ve also cared for dogs on and off over the years for friends, family, and Rover clients. These experiences have given me an appreciation for how unique every dog is and how important it is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 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: Hi! I’m Vanessa! I’m an Animal Science student at UConn and I’ve always loved being around animals, especially dogs and cats. I also have experience working as a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital, so I’m comfortable around pets and have experience caring for them. I’m pretty easygoing, responsible, and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. i’m a college student with classes during the week and a part-time job at my local community center, but I still have plenty of flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m able to regularly fit walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my week. I will treat your pets like they’re my own! Your pet’s safety and happiness are really important to me! Since I’ll be caring for your pet in their own home, I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well taken care of!

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’ve spent years caring for dogs of all kinds — for friends, family, and in my own home. From daily walks and exercise to feeding, bathing, and meeting any special needs, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy every step of the way!! I’m currently working part-time at a new job, which gives me plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for and helping others with their animals. I’m passionate about providing reliable, loving care, whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, so they feel happy and comfortable even when you’re away I currently have two dogs at home, including a new addition who loves making friends and meeting other pups. Your dog would be more than welcome to join us on our walks, turning exercise time into fun, social time

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I bring to every animal I work with. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, which has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ve also been a lifelong pet parent, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust caring for your pets. I tailor my care to each pet’s age, temperament, routine, and health needs, whether that means extra patience with a senior pet, medication assistance, reinforcing basic training, or simply giving them the love and companionship they’re used to at home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and reliability, and I care for every pet as I would my own. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for their people to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests based on your pet’s needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, and prioritize safety at all times. I communicate regularly with updates, photos, and messages, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Hi, Nice to meet you! I work in Sales out of central NJ. I have extra time on my hands and would love the opportunity to care for your animal because I enjoy it and love the walking exercise. I have my own dog named Sadie, she would also benefit to socialize but I’m happy to take turns caring for your pup on their own. Shes extremely friendly and loves all size dogs. I have grown up with Dogs my entire life. I am able to command good behavior with verbal/pet rewards and can make sure your fur baby has fun and gets the exercise he/she needs! I'm happy to clean up after your pet and attend to any medical needs. Being a mother to Sadie has made me appreciate how much it means to have someone you trust to care for your pet, including texts videos and updates. I have experience with senior animals and young puppies, I fostered Sadie at 3 months and learned the value of a pee pad. We're now potty trained and i'm also happy to help with training. Please feel free to contact me here with questions and thank you for reading my profile. I am currently working full time. I schedule my own meetings monday-friday which allows me to coordinate within 2-3 days notice. I can accommodate day of as well emergently. I have a very secure apartment complex with dog parks nearby. There are busy parks in the nieghboorhood or smaller fenced areas at my apartment only open to residents. This is more quiet great for skittish pups. I'm on the top floor of a very secure new building.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oxford is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $27 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,880 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 Oxford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Oxford after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
