“Rachael was incredible! Super flexible, always on time, and knew how to care for our dogs. It’s hard to find someone willing to care for our big babies but she rose up to the challenge. She is always super detailed in how the walks go and keeps us informed about anything that we should know about. We highly recommend Rachael, super polite and responds super quick! Our dogs absolutely loved her, we will definitely be booking again when we need a dog walker. Thank you Rachael!”

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

About: I have grew up with animals all my life!! I am a Veterinary technician and have gone through 4 years of college which revolved around the care of animal ranging from rats to cows and dogs and cats!! I have worked with cleaning kennels and walking doggies both at work and school, I also have grown up with animals all my life! I currently have my own 2 cats and 2 dogs who I care for daily and one of them having asthma I have to give extra care to!! I love animals more than anything and I just want to help people out with their fur babies while I look for a full time job!! I can administer medications, give injections, cut nails/clean ears as well for drop in visits! I work in surgery and anesthesia, give vaccines and am around animals all day 5 days a week! I just moved from New York! So I am in the process of soon moving into a house with my partner and having more space for animals and hoping for boarding at some point!! I am looking for a full time job currently so I’m available all during the week!! I have my cats to care for in the mornings so when I’m not with them I am free:) We have a fully fenced yard, and I have some leftover dog kennels from family for when I can do boarding and overnights!! For now I plan to just do visits with your pets and play with them, snuggle them and give them the care they need and deserve!! I will follow their feeding routine or if just needed to let them outside or say hello and play with them I am so down to do so!!

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: 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: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with caring for family dogs and continuing professionally at a doggy daycare. I work with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, ensuring safe play, proper routines, and individualized attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in pet sitting and treat every dog with patience, consistency, and care. I can do Mornings from 5:30 or 6am to 11am, I work from 12-6 pm so after work I can do 6:30pm-whenever is needed. from Monday-Friday. Weekends I can do anytime. I always make sure that the pets are safe, are always feed, always have water, and I take them out on walks very frequently. If the parents are ok with it I also like to take them to dog parks to learn socialization and to be able to run around and have fun without possibly breaking anything in the house.

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 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 , 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 , 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 .

  • 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
