“Alexis did a wonderful job caring for my two cats! She sent thoughtful updates and adorable pictures at every check-in, which gave me such peace of mind while I was out of town. It was incredibly reassuring to know my pets were happy, comfortable, and so well cared for. I would highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Daisy always always spoils our pups. Whether it’s during drop ins or longer stays, Daisy always takes the best care or our dogs and makes them feel extra loved. We appreciate her so much.”
“Delanie is so sweet and was an instant connection with our sweet boy! She's very affectionate with him and takes great care of him! We appreciate her knowing we don't have to worry about him while we're out!”
“I needed a sitter for my 2 Huskies last minute and Sam was able to jump in and do an awesome job taking care of them for the day. Smart, on time does what she says, and the dogs love her. Can't ask for anything more. Will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting, thanks again!”
About: I have 5 cats of my own and am very well versed in all cats quirks and personalities. I have a lot of understanding of cat behavior and have a soft spot for all kitties. Weather your cat is standoffish, a social butterfly, a scardy cat, or even a little territorial, I have it handled! I understand cats can have weird needs or care instructions and am willing to do whatever to make your kitty feel safe and cared for. In addition, I have grown up around lot of dogs and understand canine behavior. My family has had a medium size dog since I was 8 and I did most of her training from crate training to teaching her to sit. I am willing to do whatever your dog needs from walks, to playing fetch/exercising, as well as drop by visits or weekend stays. I have a normal 9-5 job Monday through Friday but am able to do weekday visits in the morning and/or evening depending on what your feline requires (weather it be visits before I go to work, after I get off, or later in the night). I will work with you to fit your pet into my schedule and make sure they receive exactly the care they need, weather that's a drop in once a day or longer visits a couple times a day. On weekends I am available around the clock for whatever your kitty may need! I am willing to clean litter boxes, change water dishes, provide feedings, clean food bowls, provide enrichment/play time, perform health monitoring, administer any medications necessary, or any other requests to keep your cats safe and well cared for! I have a background with sick animals and have previously administered daily shots or oral medications to my own pets, so I am able to provide a wide range of medical care if your cat requires such.
“Rachael took awesome care of my fur babies while I was out of town. She sent picture updates and made me feel that my pets were well cared for and in good hands! She is very sweet and I would definitely have her check in on my animals again! Thank you :)”
“An excellent experience from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and very responsible with feeding and playtime. We received regular updates - photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely confident that our cat was in good hands. Would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been dog sitting for many years. I have stayed at peoples houses and i have done drop in visits. I also have experience with giving dogs the medications that they need. I have a very flexible schedule right now so i can pretty much be there for your dog at almost any time they need me. I have a dog of my own so i am experienced. Dogs are my favorite animal, i love to spend time and play with them. I would consider myself one of the biggest dog people you will ever meet. I love all kinds of dogs from all different shapes, sizes, and breeds. I hope you will consider letting me meet and become good friends with your dog :) I have dogsat since I was fourteen years old. I’m obsessed with animals and dogs tend to be my best friend I walk my dog all the time. I will do whatever you tell me to do I will feed them the times you tell me too and try my best to stay on their daily routine because I know it’s hard for animals when their owners leave them etc.
About: Taking care of your pet is my passion. I can teach your dog some new tricks! I’ve been trained to tell when a dog is overheating, what to do during seizures and how to give your pets their medications. Because of the volume of bookings I’m currently only accepting long term stays. Has to be a minimum of 3 days. My schedule is wide open so every minute will be spend making sure your best friend gets the proper care it needs. I’m also available to pick pets up to and from vet visits. I will be there for your animal day or night. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rover is my full time job so I have open availability! Your pet will have my full attention and love. Plenty of time for cuddles. At the moment I do not offer daycare, however if I stay in your home, I always make sure I leave it how I found it.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was younger and I am a huge dog person! My family has always had dogs, we have two mastiffs right now, and I plan to have dogs for the rest of my life. I have been a sitter for many neighbors and extended family, and I worked at a dog boarder/daycare for three years. I’m currently working full time and am a full time grad student. I still regularly take care of others pets as needed. I am free during weekends. During the week, I can do morning, evening and night. I make sure they are fed, comfortable, and of course receiving attention. I give them plenty of time outside and pay attention to their needs. I also am able to break up a dog fight and check for any injuries.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxford
Katelyn was extremely attentive with our two cats and sent lovely, detailed summaries each day. Our cats loved the time she spent with them and they were very comfortable playing with her and being brushed and petted by her. We would definitely ask her back again! - Amy and Claudette
Tim took wonderful care of our dog, Honey, for 8 days with twice-daily visits, and truly went above and beyond. He spent extra time with her, treated her with so much kindness, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When it snowed, he even shoveled our walk! An incredibly thoughtful gesture that says everything about the kind of person he is. We are so grateful for Tim and would trust him again without hesitation

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Oxford on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
