“If I could give 10 stars, I would! Our dog Mabel had the time of her life. We received updates throughout each day with pictures and videos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. They have a very spacious backyard where the dogs can run and play. I honestly don’t think Mabel wanted to come home after her stay! We can’t thank them enough and would absolutely book again!”
“Bella recieved excellent care during her stay enjoying walks and company of other pets. Annmarie was able to get Bella settled in comfortably and kept us updated. Highly recommended and Bella has now found a second home.”
“Eunju was very caring for my senior dog Lemon and gave her TLC. She provided photos and updates and was understanding and accommodating. Lemon was in good spirits and very relaxed when we picked her up. I hope that Eunju will be available in the future to care for Lemon. Thank you, Eunju.”
“It was EXTREMELY hard for me to leave Mia, (my little goldendoodle) with a sitter for our family vacation. Mia was never left alone, and is always home with me. After doing A LOT of research, I decided to book a reservation with Tory (Rina). It was so hard to leave Mia, my daughter and I actually cried saying our goodbyes. Rina was so compassionate and reassured us that she would be just fine. Mia’s 6 day stay with this amazing family went extremely well. We received pictures, updates, and comments every single day. Mia was loved unconditionally by this family. They treated her as if she was their pet. They sent pictures of her cuddling, eating, playing etc…. When I picked up Mia, she was very content, clean and healthy. Rina was ready to shed a tear when she said goodbye to Mia. I highly recommend this family, and I will definitely use them in the future. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would :)”
“She is amazing!! Other boarders would send us maybe one pic a day. We got a load of pics three times a day. She had everything only thing we had to bring was food and the pup. She understands animals and their behaviors. Would recommend her to EVERYONE!!”
About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
“Jessica & Matt are amazing! They updated me everyday with photos and how my pup was doing. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Thank you again, to both of you for taking such good care of Charlie, I never worried once while I was gone, knowing he was in your care😊”
“I am incredibly grateful and humbled by the outstanding care Coryn and Kyle provided for my two dogs. They handled everything perfectly, from reliably administering medications to ensuring they got plenty of walks. What truly gave me peace of mind was their amazing communication; they kept me completely in the loop the entire time with frequent photos and video updates. It is clear they treated my pups like family, and they come highly recommended by myself for anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“Laura took such great care of our dog, Telly, while we were on vacation. She sent lots of updates with photos and Telly always looked comfortable and happy like she was on her own vacation. Laura carefully read our instructions for care and feeding at drop-off and made sure she understood Telly’s needs before we left. She even cooked Telly more chicken to top her dog food with once the chicken we provided ran out. You can tell Laura truly loves dogs and I had no worries about leaving our pup with her for the week. I would definitely hire Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter!”
“Shivambika took care of my dog like her own. She sent me timely updates and kept me informed about my dog’s wellbeing. My dog was a little sad and wasn’t eating very well but Shivambika tried different things to make sure she eats well and she succeeded too. Her house is very clean and beautiful. I would definitely leave my dog there again.”
“Grizzly had a great time with Shannon! He took plenty of walks and had time to relax. We got plenty of pictures as well throughout the stay. He can't wait to stay with them again!”
“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”
“This was our second time using Kate for dog sitting and everything was great. She provides pick up and drop off services too which is so helpful and appreciated. Definitely look forward to booking again in the future.”
“Daniella did a wonderful job caring for Memphis! She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent me pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Memphis seemed to have a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. I would definitely book with Daniella again and highly recommend her!”
“Vinata and her family were amazing looking after our dog! They looked after him so well. They sent us constant updates and loved him like he was their own dog. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Whitley was amazing!! Otis is an active guy and there were no shortage of action packed adventures. Otis and Whitley's dog Ollie had a fun and became best buddies. Whitely shared updates 2 times daily and I had complete peace of mind! I highly recommend her! We will be back for sure!!”
“Thank you Jungmin, my family had a truly comfortable trip with your support. You kept us updated with photos from time to time, so we were able to travel without any worries. And it seems like Seoul also enjoyed staying with your dog, Taco. Thank you again!”

Andrea was wonderful!! It was our first time using rover and we were very happy with Andrea and her family. Argus (our dog) was very comfortable there! They loved on him and sent pics while we were away. Would highly recommend using this family to watch your pet! Mike and Roxy
There are moments in our lives where the successful orchestration of a grand event rests entirely on the unseen hands that support us behind the scenes. As I meticulously planned the grand deception that was to be my husband's surprise birthday celebration, I found myself facing a formidable challenge: securing the absolute well-being of our three cherished companions. Enter Kerry, a veritable maestro of canine care. To entrust another with the spirited souls of Finn and Rigby our noble Red Setters whose vibrant energy is matched only by their profound loyalty is no small ask. To add to this lively symphony the exuberant, unbridled joy of little Paisley, our puppy English Cocker Spaniel, requires a caretaker of monumental patience and deep intuition. Kerry demonstrated both in boundless measure. While I was navigating the intricate choreography of guests, catering, and keeping my husband blissfully unaware of the impending festivities, Kerry provided something far more valuable than mere pet-sitting: she provided absolute sanctuary. Under her watchful, compassionate eye, Finn, Rigby, and Paisley did not merely wait for our return; they thrived in an environment of structured affection and attentive grace. Kerry did not simply watch them; she engaged with the very essence of their varying temperaments, honoring the wisdom of the older setters while gently guiding the puppy’s boundless enthusiasm. When the final toast was raised, the laughter faded, and the celebration reached its triumphant conclusion, our fur babies returned home with a trifecta of perfect contentment. The dogs were remarkably serene, their spirits joyful yet entirely calm, a living testament to the masterful stewardship they had experienced in our absence. If you seek a guardian who treats your beloved animals not as a logistical obligation, but as a profound privilege, look no further. Kerry is not just a sitter on Rover; she is a superlative steward of the creatures we hold most dear. Five stars feel woefully inadequate for the peace of mind she bestowed upon our family. She has my highest, most resonant recommendation.
Alexis is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had for our dogs. She has watched our dogs a few times and each time is always awesome. Alexis and her husband treat our dogs like their own dogs and our dog’s love going to see them and don’t want to leave usually lol. We get daily pictures and updates which we always appreciate especially seeing how well she takes care of our dogs. We highly highly recommend Alexis!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
