“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.”
About: I have done pet sitting for 2 months at one time all the way down to a weekend, drop ins, walks, and very basic training. We also adopted our dog when he was 4 months old. I am available to pet sit on the weekends and do drop ins during the week. I do work full time but have off Fri-Sun. Which is why I’d give your dog my full attention only on the weekends, hence my availability. If you need longer then a weekend, I would be more then willing to, if you are okay with the pup being alone while I work I have a very friendly pup who loves to play. He needs the socialization and will be an excellent companion while your dog is in our care.
“Robin did a great job caring for our two dogs! She gave timely updates and pictures so we knew everything was going well while we were away. They looked happy! We will definitely use her services again.”
About: I've always believed that dogs are family. I recently said goodbye to my beloved dog, Maui, and caring for her taught me just how much love, patience, and attention our furry companions deserve. Now that I'm semi-retired, I have the time and flexibility to give your dog plenty of attention, whether that means daily walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I'll always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. I'll treat your pup with the same love and kindness I gave Maui, and I'm always happy to send photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away! Now that I'm semi-retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your furry family members! Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy having them around. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pup company, I'm happy to plan my day around their needs. I love staying active and spending time with animals, so pet sitting is something I'm truly excited to make part of my daily routine. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else's care. My dog, Maui, was family to me, and I would treat your furry companion with that same love, patience, and attention. When caring for pets in your home, I believe it's important to keep them comfortable by following their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I'll always be mindful of their safety, respect your home, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I'm also happy to send photos and updates while you're away so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home, even when you're not there!
“Jasmine was amazing!! She came to meet my dogs before my last minute trip (last minute as in a few hours prior having to leave!) My dogs loved her immediately and was on time for each walk will be making her my go to dog sitter from now on ☺️”
“My one-year old Havanese pup is an "attach dog" who suffers from separation anxiety. Toby quickly adapted to Melissa's patient and loving care during his recent stay during my daughter's wedding festivities. Communication was great! Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“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”
About: I have experience taking care of my own dog since I was 8. My mom got a dog when I was 14 whom I’ve also been taking care of. I specialized in puppies (+3 months old) and adult dogs. I am willing to take care of any type of dog, with any type of disability and requirement. Any added necessity for your pet will be met to the best of my ability. I am a part-time student who also has a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty flexible on my days off. I am also willing to make exceptions if needed, depending on the situation as long as I'm told days prior. Worst case scenario in which you need extra pet sitting time last minute, it can arrange. I’m currently working a part-time job and a part-time student having one morning class on Mondays (9:30-10:45am) and a morning and afternoon class on Wednesday (9:30-10:45am/5-6:45pm) but I am available for morning feeds, mid-day check-ins, and walks between hours of the day. Any extra days or weekend can be arranged after further conversation. Do tell me days beforehand. The way I take care of my pets is by cleaning their bathroom areas. Taking them outside for however long. And just making them feel seen in a way. I will definitely do anything in my power to give the best care to your fur babies. Any extra requirements or activities are completely welcome. I am here to serve your pet and fulfill their needs.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals including cats and dogs! I genuinely love animals, and I think they are the greatest things on earth! I currently only work part time so I am available evenings and nights as well as all day Friday through Monday! I look forward to serving you! I unfortunately will not be housing animals in my home, only will be providing drop in visits to check in walk feed and love on animals at this time.
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: Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats in my family since birth and dogs since I was about five, and I was taught early on that loving animals means taking responsibility for their care. Over the past 10 years of living on my own, I’ve cared for my own dogs, a cat, rats, and reptiles. They’ve all had different personalities and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each animal feel comfortable and secure. The handsome pup in my profile photo is my dog, King! I have a particular soft spot for bully breeds and their big personalities, but my love for animals doesn’t stop at any breed or species. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, respect their quirks, and give them patient, attentive care while you’re away. I plan pet care around my work schedule, accepting bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. My dog, King, is staying with family in New Jersey while I work toward getting my own place in Florida. Caring for your pets lets me do something I love while working toward bringing my boy home! Animals have always seemed comfortable approaching me—I joke that I have a little Disney princess energy! But I know trust happens on their terms. I pay close attention to body language and adapt to each pet’s personality, energy, and comfort level. With nervous pets, I’m patient, give them space, and never rush affection or interaction. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions and familiar routines, respect your space, and keep you updated. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away.
About: Ive cared for many pets in the past and rest assured I'll provide comfort and patience while caring for your pet and treat them as if they were my own. This has always been a passion of mine and I cant wait to help others. Your pet will be in good hands while you're gone. I try to work with caring for pets on my days off from work. It gives me a break from my usual routine and it’s always exciting to meet new pets and people ! I’ll be sure to follow the clients directions on caring for their pet and will do my best to provide the quality care they need while you’re gone!
“Used Lynne while I was away. She was very responsive. She looked after my cat. Feed her her treats. She brought in my packages that where left on my front porch from Amazon. She kept me up to date on her visits. Lynne is reliable and has a very sweet personality. If I wasn't moving, I would use her again. I do recommend using Lynne for your furbabies.”
About: My pets are extra special to me. I treat them just like family. I love to spend time with my pets. Spend time playing and loving on them. I,m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pet. My schedule is usually pretty flexible. If needed I will work with you on availability. I have a fenced yard that your dog can run around in with my dog. With how hot it gets outside I try not to keep my dog or my daughters dog outside for too long.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxford
We absolutely love, Misty and highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone very trustworthy and attentive to take care of your pets while you are away! We have hired her twice now and she has done an excellent job both times keeping us informed with photos while we are gone. It’s one of the things we look forward to most after all our activities have ended, and we head back to our B&B for the night. And Misty does a great job of keeping you informed through the photos and videos 10/10 would recommend Misty each & every time!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oxford is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 983 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oxford. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
