“Nikki did everything we asked and more. We will definitely use her again when we travel. We have one cat that hides from everyone and the very first day she was at the house, she sent a picture of her petting that cat. She is a “cat whisperer” for sure.”

“Teri did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. She was punctual, cared for their needs, and cleaned up after them each day. Teri took the extra time to play with them and sent a video of two happy cats. She also brought in the paper daily. I highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Thank God for Melissa… She took excellent care of my Kitties even though they are scared of strangers. I was out of the country during the cold snap and she walked into a very cold house, but got my thermostat working so it stayed at 70°… not in the 40”s she walked into and let me know what was going on every day she came. Everything was clean and taken care of. I will definitely call her again when I am traveling.”

About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
About: I've been blessed to have had dogs and cats most of my entire life. This is the first time I haven't had my own dog and I miss her daily. Pet sitting fills a void in my heart and I will do everything to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and well taken care of. I recently relocated back to California from Lake Lure, North Carolina. My entire community in Western NC was devastated by Hurricane Helene and I was evacuated and returned home near my family. I have enjoyed all of the amazing dogs and animals I have had the pleasure of sitting in the past through Rover.com. Now that I am back in CA I would like to continue my work with animals. I am a responsible caring person who loves animals and am currently available to help with your pets in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, or Santa Ynez Valley. I would never trust a client's dog off a leash. Your animals will never be left alone and always escorted on their walks, unless otherwise told by the owner. Your pets will enjoy the comforts of their own home and be safe while you are away.
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in the care of Sarah and she did a great job. She even got our finicky Chihuahua to eat his food! We loved the little report cards she left :) We would definitely recommend Sarah”

“Angela is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very thorough and really cares about your pets. We had a gas leak from a burner when she came to check on my dogs and she took care of them and our apartment. She even checked in on us the next day to make sure everyone was ok. Overall very happy to have someone who is caring and responsible looking after our pets!!”
About: Back in 2014, my parents adopted my sweet Sadie girl! Ever since then, I have learned the responsibility of caring for my girl and giving her all the lovings! She has led me to caring for other dogs by walking and feeding them at their owners request. I’m a full-time teacher for FCPS, but am looking for something to do after school and on the weekends. I am available 7 days a week other than when my brewery that I work at part-time schedules me. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings on Saturday and Sunday. I can also be available on weekdays in the late afternoon. Once summer comes around, I will be very flexible and will adjust to your schedule. I am more than willing to bring your puppy to my fenced in courtyard at my apartment complex. I am comfortable putting dogs into crates as well and feeding.

About: Pets have always been a part of my life—whether fur, scales, or feathers, there’s never been a time my home wasn’t shared with animals. I truly believe pets don’t just live in a house—they make it a home and become family. I recently welcomed a playful cat named Ducky, who has quickly reminded us what it’s like to have curiosity, energy, and a bit of chaos woven into everyday life. That same appreciation for each pet’s personality carries into the care I provide. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for as if they were my own. I focus on maintaining their routine, minimizing stress, and making sure they feel secure and at ease—until you’re back home and reunited. I'm currently a reservist in the military, so I have a lot of free time to help busy schedules and vacations. You want to take that cruise you have been planning? Or have a busy meeting to go to? You can count on me We share our home with a lively, vocal kitty named Ducky who keeps things active and full of personality. She’s playful, curious, and always ready to “chat,” which has made us very attentive to creating a safe, calm, and well-managed environment for all animals in our care. That same level of awareness and responsibility extends to every pet I look after. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort, ensuring each pet feels secure and cared for as part of the family while they’re with me.
“Thank you so much for today. It was so great knowing Bailee was taken so well care of. Please consider Peggy on your future bookings. She did an amazing thorough job with our bulldog Bailee.”

About: I offer loving, reliable pet care in a calm and relaxed environment. I specialize in well-behaved pets and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs over the years and truly treat them as part of the family. We had beloved dogs growing up, and I’ve also had cats—including a rescue cat which we loved very much. I'm naturally attentive to each pet's behavior, routine, and comfort. I take the time to understand their personality, so they feel calm and secure while you're away. I'm also friendly, respectful, clean and easy to communicate with. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for pets in my care. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take pets out on leashed walks and supervised potty breaks to ensure their safety at all times. I also have a spacious outdoor patio area for fresh air and short breaks. Inside, I maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. In a client’s home, I respect their space and instructions, keeping their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free.
About: I’ve spent the past couple of years assisting my girlfriend with her Rover clients and helping care for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have some additional free time and decided to begin taking on dog watching myself because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and providing dependable care owners can feel confident about. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I currently have flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and dog sitting. I work in mobile chiropractic services, so I already understand the importance of professionalism, reliability, communication, and being trusted in someone’s home. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure pets feel comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment while also treating the home respectfully and professionally. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall comfort to help ensure each pet receives attentive and reliable care.

About: I have taken care of everything from a fish, guinea pig, and dog to horses and donkeys. I have officially been a pet sitter for family friends for about a year, but I have taken care of animals since I was 12. My schedule is generally flexible. I am currently in college Tuesdays and Thursdays 11-2, pick my sister up from school every weekday, and babysit about 3 hours 2-3 times a week, so I won’t be available for pets who need a lot of time. I like having a routine, so I can easily follow any specific instructions, such as feeding schedules. I treat all animals I take care of as if they are my own. I can send frequent updates about your pets and love to stay in communication with you during services.

“Jackie was wonderful and my dog seemed to warm to her. Jackie took lots of pictures, kept my home orderly and was professional. I'm looking forward to many more visits with Sweety!!”

Sabrina took such good care of my dog Lucy. Usually she has a lot of anxiety when I’m gone but not this time time! I received check in photos and reports regularly and the extra photos and texts helped put my mind at ease. An e tra bonus was how clean and tidy everything looked upon my return. Won’t hesitate to use Sabrina again.

Sarah is awesome! We needed someone to stay with our newly adopted 7 year old German Shephard as he has separation anxiety and would have destroyed our house if left alone. When we returned Duke was calm and the house was in tact. We appreciated the updates with pictures and videos. Sarah truly loves animals and we look forward to having her care for our fur baby again

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oxford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oxford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Oxford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 sitter.
