“Margaux was prompt and so communicative! Our little old many yorkie has dementia and is losing his eye sight and she was so sweet to him and kept us informed the whole time. We will be using her again 🩵”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since high school big and small! I’ve had big dogs my whole life, and am looking to help out by taking care of dogs after the loss of my Great Pyrenees Douglas after 13 amazing years. With this I have experience with handling senior dogs, including large senior dogs. I understand that senior dogs often need a little more love, and I am here to provide that! I’ve also had experience caring for hard of hearing and visually impaired dogs! I am currently a senior at Ole Miss (this is my final semester) I have wide availability as I am only taking 9 credit hours, and am extremely flexible! I live in an apartment by myself with no other pets. I have access to a dog park steps away, and have plenty of open fields and areas to walk dogs around my neighborhood.
“Brianna was amazing! She was very communicative and made sure my dog had everything he needed. Will definitely be using her again in the future. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up caring for 5 dogs, a cat, a tortoise, and plenty of other pets over the years, so being around animals feels very natural to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors by walking them around the neighborhood, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule, and am happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing with them, or just giving them company and attention while you’re away. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in any environment. At our house during college, we’ve had 3 cats, so I’m very used to caring for animals daily and understanding different personalities and routines. I’ve also helped take care of foster dogs from the animal shelter, which taught me patience and how to work with pets that may be nervous or need extra attention. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and proper care.
About: I have been loving and caring for animals since I could walk. They have always had a special spot in my heart and life. I have always considered my animals my best friends. I would do anything for them. My favorite thing is to give my furry friends all the attention they deserve. I truly believe animals save us in a way no person can. This is why I love taking care and getting to know many different fur babies. I will give my all into making sure your best friend is comfortable and cared for, because animals deserve the best that this world has to offer. Pet care fits into my daily routine when I spend the first hour of my day making sure my animals are taken care of before all. I care for pets in my home by feeding them twice a day(or the schedule you have set). I have a big, spacious, fenced in, backyard with an insulated doghouse, shaded turf and many toys for their enjoyment. I have a lot of time to spend with them as well; seeing as I am home most of the time. I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. They all get spoiled every day and live a very happy and fulfilling life.
About: I have grown up around dogs/cats of all sizes. Currently have three dogs of my own! I have more than 20 years experience of feeding, walking, training and playing. I currently work full time M-F as a RN and would be available for drop in visits/walking after 5pm on those days. Available most weekends just need to know what times in advance. I have worked as a dog trainer in the past and know how to love on dogs of all breeds! My services would be mainly drop in visits to feed/let out/walking/playing with dogs/cats. Your dogs will never be off leash with me unless I’m in your own home or fenced in yard! My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible while your pet is in my care!
About: What sets me apart is my personalized care—I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, so every pup feels safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. Typically my afternoons are pretty clear because most of my classes are in the morning! I can be very adjustable and come in the mornings before my classes start as well! I have a great gated apartment complex community with our own dog park! My friends also love dogs as much as I do, so your pup will be sure to get lots of love and attention! If your dog is a little more shy I am more than happy to just give them some solo love from me :)
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life, including my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat countless times and have plenty of experience making sure dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s taking them to the park, going on walks, playing outside, or simply spending time giving them love and attention, I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, and I like to joke that I’m a bit of a dog whisperer! I seem to attract dogs everywhere I go, and they naturally gravitate toward me. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. When your dog is in my care, I treat them just like my own, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, respect their individual needs, and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away. At the end of the day, I want every dog I care for to feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them all the love they deserve! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets! I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:00–8:50 AM and Monday through Thursday from 11:00 AM–12:15 PM, but outside of those times, I’m generally available most days for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and other pet care needs. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute and same-day requests whenever possible, and I make it a priority to respond to booking requests quickly. I understand that life can get busy and plans can change, so I do my best to be dependable, accommodating, and available whenever your furry family members need some extra love and attention. My priority is always making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I want them to feel right at home, whether that means letting them cuddle up on the couch, relax on the bed, or find their own cozy spot to nap. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s personality, habits, and usual routines to help them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away. At the same time, I take safety very seriously and will always make sure pets are in a secure environment, keep a close eye on them, and avoid situations that could put them at risk. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect any house rules or boundaries you have for your pet, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated like my own and is in caring, responsible hands.
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: I am currently a college student away from home who constantly misses his dog. I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I have always loved taking them on walks and playing with them. My schedule is pretty flexible, so pet care fits easily into my week. I’m available most days and can usually work around your pet’s routine. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I provide care by following routines, ensuring safety, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I prioritize the pet's well-being, offer regular attention, and communicate updates to the owner.
About: I started dog sitting in 8th grade and ran my own little business called “Ellie’s Caring Paws” for years. I did it to prove I was ready for my own dog, and now my dog is 8! I love caring for dogs and animals of all ages and making them feel at home. I’m mostly online for school and not working right now, so I have tons of free time to spend with pets and give them my full attention. When pets stay with me, they’re part of the family! I keep their routine the same, give plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, and make sure they feel right at home.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! We have a German Shepard and mini poodle. I really enjoy dog sitting and getting to know and love your pet! I’m currently working full time, in the city of New Albany. I have a pretty flexible job, so I am able to leave when needed! My home is next door to my job, so I am able to check on dogs who are in my home at anytime. I am available any time on the weekends. I enjoy watching pets. I will be sure the pet does not mess up the home and will ensure that we will play together. If there is a fenced in yard, we will play there and go on walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxford
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!
Kendall was amazing! She dropped in to take care of my dogs during my wedding week, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure they were happy, fed, and comfortable while we were away. I will definitely recommend her and use her in the future!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oxford is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $33 per visit. 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 143 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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.
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.
