“We have boarded our black lab with Amanda twice now, and look forward to boarding her again! My dog gets excited to return and actually whines to get out of the car and go see everyone. Amanda is very responsive and clearly loves animals. It is obvious our pup has a great time and loved getting attention from her kids. Amanda also sends pictures of our dog which helped put our mind at ease- she always seemed so happy! We typically board her at a big boarding facility that is inconvenient and seems to stress our dog out the older she gets. Instead, she gets to feel at home and enjoy a peaceful environment. Amanda is also extremely flexible with drop offs/pick ups which has been very helpful for travel issues. We are so grateful to have found Amanda and know we will continue to use her to keep our pup safe and happy while we're away!”
“They were AMAZING and loved my sweet pup so well! The communication, pictures, and activity they provided were incredible and they showed true care!”
“Rajita was very sweet and took Buddy in at the last minute. He seemed happy with the photos I sent. She said her kids loved him, and that's what matters most: that he was loved. He's a loving little guy who loves love.”
“Our dog, Katya, was well taken care of during her stay with Evan at his farm. She enjoyed running around the farm and playing with the other dogs. She was very happy and relaxed on her return home. Would recommend Evan!”
About: I’m a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Caring for animals is already a major part of my everyday life, so adding another dog to my routine fits naturally into my schedule. I live on a farm and care for multiple animals daily, including dogs, horses, poultry, and other farm animals. My days are already structured around feeding, watering, exercise, cleaning, training, enrichment, medication when needed, and monitoring the health and behavior of the animals in my care. As a professional dog trainer, I also understand that dogs need more than food and potty breaks. Dogs staying with me receive plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, enrichment, rest, and individual attention based on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I am accustomed to planning my schedule around animals and making sure their needs are consistently met throughout the day. Safety is one of my highest priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. I am a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, body language, stress levels, and physical condition that might otherwise be overlooked. Dogs in my care are supervised and managed according to their individual temperament, training, and needs. I do not assume that every dog should interact with every other animal simply because they are staying in the same home. Dogs can be safely separated, crated, rotated, or given individual play and exercise time when appropriate. Because I live on a farm, I take additional precautions when dogs are outside. Every boarding dog wears a GPS tracking collar whenever they are outside of their secure kennel area, providing an additional layer of safety and security. Dogs are never given unnecessary freedom simply because they are staying in a rural environment. My goal is to provide a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment where owners can feel confident that their dog is receiving knowledgeable, individualized care while they are away.
“Our dog Nash had a great week! David sent great pictures and kept us up to date on our pup’s healing wound (which had happened right before our trip). We appreciated knowing Nash was in good hands so we could enjoy our trip!”
“Elizabeth was an absolute 100/10 experience. She went above and beyond exceeding every expectation for care and attention. She sent tons of pictures throughout the stay, and it was obvious Ryder felt completely at home the whole time. Could not recommend her enough!!!”
“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Andrew was great! My dog took an instant liking to him. He communicated with me throughout the weekend and sent me pictures, which I appreciated so much. I will definitely use him again!!”
“Our Willow was very well taken care of and got lots of attention. She was far less anxious than I expected, which put my mind at ease. Olga was easy to communicate with—very responsive, and she sent us pictures throughout the stay. She's a wonderful sitter, and we'll definitely be coming back!”
“Although she only watched my dog for a short time, I feel that Jade‘s really took very good care of him. Almost as much as I would. She was very communicative and sent me pictures and always kept me up-to-date on how he was doing. I will definitely book with her again the next time I am in Durham.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog Stella! I’m so happy she was available, Stella had a wonderful stay. Amy was great at communicating and sending pictures to put me at ease, and took Stella for walks and runs in her large fenced backyard. 10/10 stars and Stella can’t wait to come back!”
“Lady had a wonderful time playing at Aubrey's house! Aubrey was available to talk to me and responded quickly whenever I texted her. She even sent me pictures! Thanks so much Aubrey - we will definitely be using her again! :)”
“I've tried several Rover dog sitters and Alcino is the best. They take your dog in as one of the family. No spending long hours in a crate. Just jump in and feel at home.”
“As always, Lauren is amazing! My dog Finn is a regular for her but we recently adopted a new furry family member named Cleopatra. Lauren was kind enough to do another meet and greet so Cleo could get to know her and her dogs first. She did great at the meet and greet and she did so well with her stay! She made lots of friends! We’re so proud of her and we’re so grateful for Lauren and her family! Finn and Cleo will always be happy to stay with them! <3 :)”
“Thanks so much for Slates staycay! I was so relieved to have someone check in and send pics while we weee away! Kimberlee was fantastic and so tesponsive and caring! Definitely will use again! Thanks from the Ratliffs!”
“Olivia is an exceptional dog sitter! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals. She was incredibly professional and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout my trip. This was our first time leaving our pups with anyone other than family.Olivia followed all my care instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile by taking Sox for extra walks and giving him lots of love and attention. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oxford is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $56 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 of October 2026, there are 930 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.
95% 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 NC 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.
