“Can I leave 15 stars??? Kay is fantastic. We had three of our regular sitters cancel on us for our trip over Thanksgiving. We were about to have to cancel our trip. Kay came in and took such great care of our girls, including our recent rescue that had some behavioral issues. She took great pictures and gave us updates on our babies. She even fed our fish and took in our black Friday packages. I'll be using her every time we have to leave our babies at home.”
About: I’ve dog sit for many family friends, old teachers, neighbors through my life and it’s safe to say I do a good job if they come asking for more. I’ve sit senior dogs before so I know all the things that go into keeping them happy and healthy. I have a cat and dog of my own and have raised them from a puppy and kitten until now and only provide best possible care for my babies because they deserve it! I currently am unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of any pets who need it. I need something to keep me busy during the day and this is it I make sure I have a clean environment for the pet to be while i’m watching and make sure they have all the things they need to be happy.
“Kira did a great job taking care of our three babies. Our doggies are very skeptical of allowing people they don’t know in their space…especially Bella, but Kira managed to get them to trust her. We were very excited to enjoy our vacation in peace knowing that they were in good hands.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6. I absolutely adore animals and their innocence. I am reliable and sweet to them at all times! I am currently working a part time job and my hours fluctuate, but I still have a flexible schedule to dog walk either when I get off or before work! I have a shih tzu at home who is a very calm dog. I feed her twice a day with blood pressure meds. She might already be tired of how much love I show her every second of the day!
“Maya is wonderful. Very professional and attentive. She was punctual for every visit and cared for my boys very well. Will request her for all future needs if she is available. I recommend you do as well.”
About: I have always been very good with animals ever since I was little. I like animals more than humans so I promise to take care of your pet like it is my own. I have volunteered at the Human Society and I am going to college to work with animals so I would love to care for your pet to gain more experience. I am currently home from college so I am free all day, Monday through Friday. Then starting in August I will be home Friday through Sunday. I have an unfenced yard but plenty of yard for them to run around and I have a in ground runner that they can be put on for some freedom. I also have two fur babies to keep your fur baby company but they can always be kept separate if needed.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 20 years old. Cousins, Neighbors, and family friends have all trusted me with taking care of their babies! With senior dogs, I tend to take my time with them as some may have mobility issues or cannot move around as much as a younger dog can. Nonetheless, all fur babies will be taken care of equally! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby/babies! I am off Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday! My schedule will work around them no matter what! While dogs aren't allowed at my house due to my mother being afraid of dogs, I believe that the babies will be comfortable in their already known space. Your fur baby will have the time of their lives safely and happily while I am watching over them!

I have tons of space to run and play inside.
About: I have my own dachshund that I take care of on a daily basis but also have 3 other family dogs tha range from a dachshund to a german shepherd. I’ve always helped taken care of the family dogs growing up. I work 3 times a week and have school but my schedule is very flexible and I can adjust it around based on what I have going on. Any pet in my home that’s not mine would be treated like my own pets. They would be taken care of all the time. The same would apply in someone else’s home. I would follow a schedule feeding and letting the pets out just like I do with my own.

“Nicholas provided excellent care for my cats during a weekend away. He followed all instructions, spent time getting to know them, and his calm demeanor put me at ease. I’d happily recommend Nicholas for reliable, thoughtful pet care.”
About: I have been working at a vet clinic since I was fifteen. I’ve moved through multiple departments, currently i’m working in the groom shop. I love making pets feel pretty! Throughout my years there I have gained plenty of experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. As a plus I am confident in administering oral medication for any senior pets. I understand that pets are apart of the family and would be overjoyed to meet yours 💗 I work mon-fri from 7:30am-4:30pm. I am completely free to care for your babies any time outside of that. I am also open to making accommodations for pets that need walking/checking up on during my lunch break at work, as long as the location is close. I hope to soon go part time at my primary job. Which would give me more time for your babies! If you have any questions feel free to DM me! I prefer to care for your pets in your home. My biggest priority is your pets comfort. I find that they are most relaxed and feel the safest when they are in their own home. That being said I do not offer boarding, but I am very open to working in accommodations if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxford
Mateo was an awesome sitter for Lady. He communicated consistently, sent plenty of photos and was even able to adjust the original schedule when our flight was changed at the last minute. The next time we need a good and reliable sitter, he will be our first call!
Lydia is incredibly pet-friendly and caring. We knew that six small-breed dogs could be a challenge, but she was able to meet each of their individual needs while keeping us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation because we knew they were in great hands. Lydia was very proactive, attentive, and communicative. We would definitely trust her with our dogs again and will gladly use her services in the future.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oxford is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $48 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.

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 .
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.

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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
