“Rebeka couldn’t be nicer and handled our handful of a dog very well. She responds to messages quickly, and I appreciated her reaching out to confirm the day of our scheduled appointment. She is very prompt and has a lot of dog behavioral experience that is helpful. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
“We needed a dog sitter last minute at our rental while visiting Greenwood. Grace responded immediately, and took great care of our pups, so we didn’t have to worry about them, or rush to get home and take them out. Thanks Grace!”
About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs in the house at a time. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from big to small, Seniors to puppies. I provide daily photos throughout your pets daily routine and tons of love I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of enough time to care for your fur baby. I believe all animals should be treated like they are you own even if they are temporary I live in a quiet cozy apartment with a big yard in the back. There is plenty of room for playtime and resting. Pets are welcome on all furniture
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 my family and friends always ask me to take care of walking ,feeding , and administrating medicine . I work at the Easton Elementary i usually get off anywhere between 3:55-4pm so I can do check ins and or walks Monday through Friday after I get off from work on the weekends I have a very flexible schedule so I can do anytime I had 2 dogs they passed away this year due to older age couple of months ago but I have a backyard with a closed off fence top to bottom so your pets will be very safe and have a good yard to run around and stretch
“As a spur of the moment idea, that I had heard about through a friend in CA, I contacted Rover and had a good, instant, comforting response. The care giver was great and did send picures and I was very comforted. Thanks to her.”
About: ✨ Schedule & Availability I currently maintain a full-time position but please do not hesitate to reach out and we can talk about options to accommodate your pets needs. Open Availability : Monday / Tuesday Limited Availability : Wed - Sun ✨My Experience I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. From energetic puppies who need extra patience and consistency to independent cats who prefer a quieter approach, I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and care. In addition to caring for my own pets over the years, I have volunteered with animal rescue and shelter organizations, giving me experience working with animals of different temperaments and backgrounds. ✨Drop-in visits / Dog walking / Cat care visits / Puppy visits / senior pet care ✨Meet & Greet I strongly encourage a meet-and-greet before any first-time booking. Meet-and-greets can be conducted either in person or through a video call, depending on your preference and schedule. This gives us an opportunity to: • Make sure we’re a good fit • Allow your pet to become familiar with me • Review feeding schedules and daily routines • Discuss medications or special care requirements • Review behavior preferences and household expectations • Answer any questions before services begin I currently work full-time, but I still maintain availability outside of my work schedule for pet care, drop-ins, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. I’m reliable with routines and make sure pets receive the attention, consistency, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention to their individual comfort level and routine. I’m experienced with shy pets, senior animals, anxious pets, and pets that may need a calmer approach or extra time to adjust. I always prioritize safety, clean environments, secure doors/leashes, and careful attention to instructions so owners can feel confident their pets are being cared for like family.
About: Experience with multiple breeds of dogs. My heart is owned by our 5 boys and our 3 furbabies 16 year old Siberian Husky named Lola, a 2 year old husky/german Shepard mix named Skye and a 13 year old Australian shepherd named Apache . Firmly believe that pets are family and that it’s up to us humans to provide them with the best life possible. Without a doubt, I will treat your pet family members as if they were my own, with an abundance of love and attention. I know what it’s like to have a good pet sitter and I’ve been very fortunate to know what it’s like to have a peaceful vacation without worries, let me be the one to ease your mind when it comes to your pets care. I’m always doing something doggie related. In addition to Rover we also offer dog grooming so we stay pretty busy with the pooches every day of the week. I have crates to accommodate all sizes of pups for those that are crate trained. Those that need a human bed to sleep in, I’ve got plenty of those as well. Huge yard for lots of exercise.
“First time using a pet sitter that wasn’t a friend or family member. Emily was awesome - she texted throughout visit and sent photos so I didn’t worry. I’ve already booked 2 more visits with her.”
“Beka has been fantastic with our 4, almost 5 month dog. He had no training prior to 4 month and the work Becka has done with him is incredible. He listens to commands and is potty trained now. Our dog loves her and she seems to adore him. She went out of her way to water my rabbit when he was out of water and also accommodates schedule changes when she can.”
About: I have grown up with all sorts of animals; including large-small dogs and 3 years ago I raised my own pit/husky mix puppy. I now have a 4 year old female border collie, who is provided with the necessary attention to stimulate her :) I currently work full-time as an occupational therapy assistant and will be home around 4pm on the weekdays and Saturdays, with open availability on Sundays! I am currently offering drop in visits and stimulating walk visits for your pet(s) upon request. Just communicate your ideal visit and the pups preferences during the visits and we will work together to make the visits ideal for all involved! :)
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I love taking care of them, making their days full of fun and ensuring that they're healthy and loved. I walked my miniature daschund and chocolate lab side by side for years, so I got a lot of experience with a range of sizes and types of dogs. I’ve worked with the Blue Ridge Humane Society as well in my career. I cared for and interacted with puppies, teens and old doggies with all sorts of medical problems, temperaments and personalities. The attention and care they deserve will not be missing when I am around. I now have a bordercollie mix of my own, and he has taught me even more about what makes dogs happy. I have experience house sitting for neighborhood pets, experience giving medicine to dogs, taking care of elderly dogs and youngsters. I also volunteered at my local SPCA throughout college and got a lot of experience handling different levels of leash-trained dogs, and reactive dogs. I am currently between roles in my career, due to a sudden loss in my family. I am available to care for your pets whenever they need and I know they deserve the utmost love — since my pet is keeping me going these days too. My first priority is making sure your animal feels safe around me and comfortable. Once I gain their trust, whether it’s instant or over a few visits, I will be sure to learn their favorite ways to live and provide that for them. I will walk them on their favorite trails, give them their favorite scratches, snuggle if they need or just let them have their space and potty breaks. I listen to the animals needs and respond.
“Brante cared for our three furbabies (cats) like they were her own! I felt completely at ease leaving my cats for a couple days, knowing they were in good hands! They received lots of extra attention and cuddles 😊”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
