House Sitting in Oxford

“It’s difficult for me to find the words for this review. While we were away one of our dogs had a medical emergency. Because of Bill’s dedication, careful monitoring, and experience I was able to get home in time to say goodbye to my boy. Without Bill and his care for our fur babies I would not have made it home in time and my boy would have been in prolonged pain and stress. As well as sound decision making he then made sure our other dog was emotionally supported by spending an extended amount of time with her until we could get home. Bill remained in constant communication with us, our emergency contact, and the medical staff. His exceptional communication skills helped us orient ourselves to the seriousness and make informed decisions from an ocean away. He went well above and beyond his job description of being a dog sitter and was just an incredible person and support. Bill is the standard for pet care and is the best option for owners who deeply value their pets.”

“Morgan has been absolutely wonderful. She stayed with our Chihuahua for eight days while we were away on a family vacation. Our Chihuahua doesn’t easily warm up to people, and she took to Morgan very well! Morgan took care of our baby, played with her, cuddled with her, and sent pictures and videos throughout the whole week. She was also house sitting! Our pup will miss her; hopefully we will be able to book Morgan again sometime. Highly recommended!”

“Logan is so kind and was so attentive to our pup! We definitely plan on using his services again. We feel very lucky to have found him on Rover. We are new to it, and I was skeptical about how it would work but Logan is a gem!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”

“Haleigh is amazing with both my very friendly and my very shy dog! She sat in the rain for an hour to win over my shy pup Bijou! By the end of her stay Bijou was sitting on Haleigh’s lap and getting lots of love! Haleigh is great at giving updates and notifying me of any concerns and sending pictures. One of my dogs is on a lot of pills and supplements and Haleigh made sure she took them all. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Coco is 15 and has never been left with anyone but family. Circumstances changed and we needed help. Nicole has been a blessing to us. She has done many drop-in visits and just recently housesat while we were away on vacation. She very willingly did a few household tasks for us; taking in mail, watering plants, etc.. It was such a blessing going away and knowing Coco was in good hands!”

About: I've owned many dogs, a few cats, goats, a sheep, and a ferret over the past 25 years. Except for the goats, they were all rescue animals. I'm good at managing conflict between dogs. I work remotely 3 weeks out of the month where I mostly set my own hours which allows me to take care of pets in a house sitting arrangement I only house sit so I will keep dogs on a lease at all times unless there is a fenced in yard. I'm good at preventing sneaky cats from escaping.

About: I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, from 10 to 100+ lbs. I'm confident handling puppies, seniors, and high-energy breeds with care and patience I am currently home on summer break as a college student. Most days throughout the week I am available, and on these days I have lots of flexibly with my hours. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable—whether that means crating, using a fenced yard or cable, or giving them space to roam freely with supervision, depending on what works best for them

“On short notice, Sarah was able to come over for the night and play with our dog, Coco. Sarah is really sweet, and everything went just as planned. We felt very comfortable leaving our Coco with Sarah!”
