“Amanda is amazing with my very needy and clingy boy Micah. Appears she spoils him with love at every visit. Thanks Amanda! Without hesitation I would book again with Amanda. Spot on communication and very flexible.”
“Jesse was great with my three cats when we were gone for 3 weeks. She not only took care of food, water and litter boxes, she stayed and spent time with them every day, so the could get used to her, and have some human contact each day. She did a great job, and I will very happily use her again.”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of our cat, even bringing her treats. We recieved lots of pictures in our daily update which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also brought in our mail! I would highly recommend her.”
“Jennifer clearly loves animals, and our cats loved her back! She was responsive, proactive with their dietary needs, and was flexible with our change in schedule. Daily communication on our cats’ activities was provided, and with photos! Highly recommend her services!”
“Ashton was lovely as always! We recently lost our senior kitty and our remaining cat has been so sad and not really eating. We were taking our son to Legoland for a few days and couldn’t reschedule. Ashton put my mind at ease with regular updates and giving our Winnie lots of love. It helped tremendously during a difficult time for our family!”
“Kayla did a great job watching our cats! Our girl cat loves her (probably due to churu bribery). Kayla also keeps tabs on our super shy boy cat even when he hides under our bed.”
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She made sure everything was taken care of and kept me updated with photos and spent some time with her - really putting my mind at ease. She communicated clearly and thoroughly about scheduling and did everything that was asked.”
“We were so glad to have found Jane to take care of our 4 kitties while we were away. Everything went well and Jane stayed in regular communication with us to give updates. It definitely gave us peace of mind.”
“Again, Katie did a fabulous job with my fur babies. My very skittish boy made an appearance 2 consecutive days without running by like the flash. Thanks again Katie. Looking forward to the next time.”
“Logan has sat for us a second time for a full week watching our special needs senior cat. He is very attentive to her needs and stays over with her. Keeps the place clean and watered outdoor plants while we were away.”
“Great experience. First time using Rover. Mariah was super friendly. We met prior to my trip and she was great with Ivy my cat. Ivy took right too her. I was very happy with the process. I’d definitely book her again.”
“I can’t say enough about how much my boys loved Carley and how amazing she was with them. I’m not sure they even want me home!!! I can’t say enough… she treated my pups like they were her own!!!”
“Laura took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for ten days. She kept in regular contact with us, and our cat was in good spirits when we got home. We would definitely hire Laura again!”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oxford on Rover is $21.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
