“Excellent experience start to finish!! Kaitlin was responsive to our sheltie’s sometimes-timid approach to other dogs, and it was a total success. They had a grand time and leaves us wishing we had to be back this way again!”

“Hannah was amazing with my senior dog, and she did not seem to mind my dog’s Velcro tendencies. :) Her property is beautiful with plenty of space for dogs to explore. Her dogs and cats are very friendly with other dogs, and I think they helped put my dog, who can be apprehensive in new places, at ease. My dog loved her stay with Hannah, and I know she will be excited to return for another vacation!”

“Christina was very responsive to my initial request (especially important since we were in the position of booking last minute over a holiday weekend) and any follow-up questions. She provided daily updates and fabulous photos of my pup throughout his stay and made sure he had extra snuggles on his first night to help him adjust. I would definitely use Christina again!”

“We have used many dog sitters in the long life of our old dog and this was one of the best we have ever had. I so appreciated how very thorough they were at the meet & greet obtaining all the pertinent info needed about my dog, with notepad in hand, above and beyond what I would have remembered to impart. So I knew right away she would be in very good hands. Top of the line in knowledge about dogs, home, neighborhood, fenced in yard and conscientiousness. Paisley had a great stay. We are always grateful to have a home away from home for our girl that leaves us worry free about her care. Terry & Sheree are very responsive, shared photos to us, they walked her and made her feel right at home. We highly recommend them for your pets but please leave room for us to go back. Thanks Terry & Sheree. Hope you don't get so busy you can't fit us. We will be back!”

About: If you want your pets/children/homes well taken care of give me a call! I will make sure all of your needs are met if you hire me! I plan on freeing up my schedule to do more jobs through the day instead of one full time job. Help me get started by hiring me! If I was in the position to hire someone to babysit, house sit, or pet sit, I would want someone to take all of my requests seriously and do a good job so that’s what I do!

Our dog was highly insulted he was not invited on a recent trip. Marcie did an incredible job of making him part of her family. Graham immediately took to Marcia and she did an expert job of introducing my dog to hers. I got updates during our travels which was so comforting. Thank you Marcie!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Oxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oxford is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $46 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 166 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

96% of sitters in Oxford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oxford home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oxford.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Oxford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in ME ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
