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.
“We had Berkley drop in on our cat each day while we were on vacation. She was excellent in all aspects. Communication with us, punctual, playing with the cat, cleaning the litter box... I would not look anywhere else, will hire her again.”
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.
“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.”
“Mary Catherine was excellent! Communication was great from the start and our dogs were well cared for and we were totally at ease! We highly recommend Mary Catherine! 🐾🐾”
“Melissa and her hubby Mike were a delight to meet and true animal lovers, they took wonderful care of our Ellie, an 80lb old English Sheepdog. We were in a last minute bind and were going to be gone for 10 hours and wanted to make sure our pup was checked on and let out, and Mike played her and sent great pics too, which was most comforting... We will surely be using them again very soon. Thank you Melissa & Mike!”
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.
About: A lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses! Growing up with multiple dogs in the house at all times, neighbors and friends have trust me countless times to ensure their furbabies are well cared for and loved on while their lives take them elsewhere! I’m currently working part time as a freelancer in the equine industry, so I’m already traveling routinely around South ocala and surrounding areas, so booking throughout the day is a breeze! Meeting with you and your pets is the best way to ensure low stress on them without needing to travel! I’ll walk through their daily routines with you to make sure they’re getting consistent training and schedules!
“James loves our puppy Prada. We are so grateful to have found him. He takes time with her and updates us each time. He has also gone in and corrected my mistakes in Rover. I would not hesitate to refer him.”
About: I will take care of your dog and play with them when I come on the visits. I will also take them to the park and run with them. I own a boston terrier and a pit bull and they are my loves. I will care for your dog like they are my own. I can also take care of puppy's and will give them the attention they need. I Have always not only love dogs but every animal. I wanted to be a vet when I was little just so I could work with animals. I think dogs are the best animals because they comfort anyone who is upset or just bring joy to your life. I think dogs have a purpose to make their owners happy and will love you unconditionally. I am doing dog sitting and dog walking part time. I am available Monday through Friday. I have a main job and I work from home Monday and Friday so four day weekends are better for me to dog sit. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I go into the office so I can only do two drop in visits during those days. I work on weekends as well. I would come inside the house and greet the pups. I would make sure to take them out to go potty and then give them a treat before I go.
About: Hello! I’m a pet groomer who has been working with dogs and cats for over seven years, and various other animals such as in home birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, horses, cows, goats, and chickens. I have worked with elderly animals, administered shots and medication, and have no issue dealing with big dogs. In grooming school, I learned how to recognize medical emergencies and take the proper course of action, and I pride myself in the knowledge I have and am always expanding it! I work close to the villages, and I will more often than not be able to take care of your pets after work every night! I’m happy to feed, administer medication, exercise, and of course, play with any animal! My main goal is to make sure that they are happy and safe!
About: I've had many pets growing up, from cats, dogs and fish to a chinchilla! Ive gained so much experience and knowledge throughout my 18 years of living, but I love having more! Your fur babies will be my top priority as long as they're in my care. I'm currently just looking for something to do that I love! All I have going on is enjoying the summer before college! I love meeting new pets! If there's anything I take more seriously then keeping your pet safe and happy, is making sure your home is respected and left spotless for when you get back!
About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I am respectful and considerate, and I spoil and pet them all the time. I have been taking care of animals practically since I was a child. I am aware that they have important basic needs to consider, such as bathroom time, meal time, walk time. If they need special care or to take any medication, I am also happy to fulfill them. I work remotely from home, so I'm available to provide objective, dedicated, and responsible care. I can answer your questions via text message. And if you decide to, give me a call; I'll be happy to help your furry friends. Abrir en They will be in my constant company. I have a living room with a dining room and an additional room, spacious spaces, and a small balcony in my apartment if they like to look outside. This would be accompanied by me, of course. They will never be alone. I am very affectionate with them. I can follow the routine you have planned (as similar as possible) to your pet's so that your absence is bearable and pleasant. Just write to me and tell me what you are looking for. I will be happy to help you.
“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!!”
“Teri was excellent with our cat Reagan. Engaged her in play with some toys that she brought and left our healthy and happy. Thank you so much Teri. We'll definitely use you again and recommend to others.”

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.

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.
