About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. What sets me apart is that I truly care about making pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for, not just watched. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means lots of playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply giving them a calm environment where they feel secure. I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners feel comfortable with updates and pictures while they’re away. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely at ease and confident in the care they’re receiving. I am currently in Oxford for college, I am available at almost any time! I do not typically work after 10 PM but can work something out if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and feel safe while their owners are away. I also understand that being in their own home helps many pets feel more relaxed and secure. I’m respectful of each client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully, including walks, medications, crate routines, bedtime routines, or any special needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: As a fellow dog owner and lover I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so my goal is to make them feel as loved and comfortable as they do with you. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routines, and favorite things whether that’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or some extra cuddles! I’m comfortable caring for really any type of dogs. I grew up learning how to take care of not only dogs but horses as well. My time tending to a variety of quiet, crazy, young or old 1000 pound animals has taught me how to handle basically any different behavior that your pup may have. playful puppies who need structure and frequent potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may need a little extra patience, medication, or a slower pace. My goal is to make every family feel completely confident that their furry friend is being cared for with kindness, patience, and most importantly and ENORMOUS amount of love! Im available any time during the weekdays with my only conflicting times being 9:30-11 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 12-2 on monday,wednesday and fridays!! I am also available all day on sundays! I am available for daily walks, feeds, or over night stays at your home with your pet! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking so I can provide care that’s familiar and stress free for you and your pet! I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any household rules your pet is used to. With me you can assure that your pet will always be tended to and never alone!

About: I have always had pets growing up and currently have 3 dogs and a cat, all ranging in different sizes and personalities. I am happy to help. I am available full time during the week currently, happy to pop in during the morning or afternoons. I am available to house sit on per request. I am good with varying temperaments and can handle different levels of care. I will always keep the pet on leash for walks or ensure the fence is securely closed. I will not leave any pets outside unless specifically instructed.

About: As a pet sitter, my dedication to providing exceptional care sets me apart. I have extensive experience in: Puppy Training: I can handle basic obedience training, housebreaking, and socialization to ensure your puppy grows into a well-behaved adult. Senior Pet Care: I am well-versed in the special needs of senior pets, including administering medication, monitoring health conditions, and providing gentle, attentive care. Behavioral Management: I can manage pets with anxiety or behavioral issues, creating a calm and safe environment for them. Health and Wellness: I am knowledgeable about pet nutrition, exercise requirements, and can identify early signs of health issues. Customized Care Plans: I tailor my care approach to each pet's unique needs, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve. My commitment to understanding and meeting each pet’s individual needs ensures they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care is a significant part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure a structured schedule that prioritizes the well-being of the pets in my care. My typical routine includes: Morning Routine: Early morning walks or playtime to ensure pets start their day with exercise and stimulation. Feeding breakfast and fresh water, along with administering any morning medications. Quick grooming session to check for any issues and ensure they look and feel their best. Midday Check-ins: Midday walks or outdoor playtime to break up the day and provide additional exercise. Midday meals or snacks if required, and a fresh water check. Brief health check to ensure pets are comfortable and healthy. Afternoon Routine: Another round of exercise or play, focusing on activities that engage their mind and body. Feeding dinner and fresh water, along with administering any evening medications. Spend quality time with the pets, offering affection and companionship. Evening Routine: Evening walks or relaxation time to wind down the day. Final health check and grooming if necessary. Ensure they are comfortable and settled for the night. Weekly Tasks: More extensive grooming sessions, including baths and nail trims. Thorough cleaning of pet areas, including bedding, toys, and feeding areas. Monitor and replenish supplies like food, medications, and grooming products. By integrating pet care into my routine, I ensure each pet receives consistent, attentive, and loving care throughout the day and week. In-Home Pet Care: Safety Measures: Conduct a thorough home inspection to identify and eliminate any hazards. Secure all doors, windows, and fences to prevent escapes. Keep toxic substances out of reach, including cleaning supplies and certain plants. Use pet-safe cleaning products to maintain a healthy environment. Trust Building: Arrange a meet-and-greet to establish a rapport with the pet and understand their needs. Communicate regularly with pet owners, providing updates and photos. Respect the owner’s home by following specific instructions and maintaining cleanliness. Environment: Create a comfortable and safe space for the pet with their bed, toys, and favorite items. Ensure access to fresh water and food, following dietary guidelines provided by the owner. Provide ample exercise and mental stimulation tailored to the pet's age, breed, and energy level. Client’s Home Pet Care: Safety Measures: Conduct an initial assessment of the home environment for potential hazards. Follow security protocols to ensure the home is safely locked and secure during visits. Administer medications and handle health concerns with utmost care. Trust Building: Schedule a meet-and-greet to get acquainted with the pet and discuss care routines

About: I’ve had a lifelong love of animals, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience in many areas of pet care. I’ve house sat, walked dogs of all sizes, and done regular check-ins for meal times and pee breaks. When I’m home, I’m often trusted to care for my mom’s colleagues’ pets—many of whom are doctors with busy schedules—which has taught me to be responsible, reliable, and flexible. Now that I’m away at school, I’m excited to bring that same level of care to your pets. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with cats, my comfort with dogs, and my genuine desire to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved as if they were my own. I’m a student, so whenever I’m not in class, I’m home and available to care for pets. That means I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and cuddles. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine and give your pets the attention they deserve. In my townhome, pets have access to a safe, comfortable space with lots of attention and love. My complex has fenced-in play areas perfect for letting dogs run and play, as well as nice trails nearby for daily walks and exercise. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or just giving them company—so they feel secure and cared for in their own environment.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life- dogs,cats,horses,and even a pig and goat- and started pet sitting for neighbors around 10. This past summer I worked as the Barn Director at a summer camp where I cared for 18 horses and a pig! I love any and all animals, and would be happy to help out! I am currently a junior at Ole Miss, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available all day on Thursday and Friday and on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am available in the mornings and after 12! (Weekends may vary) Back at home I have four dogs and one cat, so when it comes to pet care, dog or cat, I’ve got you covered! I can crate them if needed, feed, walk, and even just keep company and play!

I’m free after 12 most days and also have availability in the mornings between my classes for walks, drop-ins, or check-ins. I love being able to break up my day with some puppy time!

I’ll also send regular updates and pictures so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away!! I have two dogs of my own and have watched many dogs back home so im very reliable!

I would give 10 stars if I could! Jenna watched our dog last minute for the weekend and even came back late one night when we had travel delays to make sure our dog was taken care of! You could tell by every single picture and update we received that our dog was so happy and obsessed with Jenna! She always took him on long walks and spent time at in our house just spending time with him and making sure he was so well taken care of. She is extremely responsible and thorough and communicated with me the entire time we were away. I could not recommend more!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Oxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oxford on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $33 per visit. 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 139 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oxford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Oxford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
