“Great experience! Amanda was very accommodating and took great care of Rosa. It was a treat to receive some pictures and video while we were away. Her price was the most reasonable on the Rover market!! 5 stars😊”
“David was a great sitter for my great pyrenees. He updated me with info on how she was doing daily and sent pictures of her enjoying herself. He was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had and I felt at ease leaving my dog with him. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in the area.”
“Sonia was timely and responsive in addressing my questions and guiding me through how to use rover.com as this was my first time using this service to take care of my beloved dog. Sonia did an awesome job taking care of Dublin. Thank you so much for the outstanding service and we will definitely use Sonia in the future for our pet care needs.”
“Jeremy and family were absolutely amazing. We had to book short notice and the process and communication was excellent. He cared for our little guy just as we would! We will definitely be rebooking.”
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! My rabbit Jeff had the time of his life with Amber and seems rather disappointed now to be back home with us. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Katrin is so good with my anxious Wes. She’s super communicative with me, always sending pics & vids. She even added in an extra day of care when my flight got delayed.”
“David by far exceeded my expectations, and they were already high! This was my first time boarding and I was going on an international trip, so I was understandably nervous. We had a meet and greet prior to the trip that really helped to reassure me and provide comfort to Mesquite. David was very accessible, sent consistent and thorough updates and pictures the entire time I was away. I know Mesquite was showered with love and fun the entire time, was able to make new friends, and explore his yard and run around tons. I couldn't think of a better place for her to have stayed and will be boarding with David for all future trips and recommending him to everyone I know!”
“Abby had another great stay with Carol!! Carol was super attentive to Abby’s initial dietary needs, and her progress throughout the week. She gave me regular updates and pictures of her enjoying time at her home and yard. Thank you Carol! Our family appreciates your wonderful care of Abby.”
“Even though my booking was so last minute, Bruna was able to accommodate me and my Koa. Bruna was responsive and kept in touch with me regarding Koa. I really felt at ease knowing my pup was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Bruna to anyone who would want their pet to be well taken care of!”
“Joanna was a great sitter! As soon as we showed up she was so happy to meet Brandy and very warm towards to her. Brandy even got her own room, and there was plenty of space outside for her to run around. Lots of animals in the house but they seem to be separated from one another which is great. She even knitted brandy a little blanket! Thank you Joanna, we will definitely be using you again!”
“Renee was absolutely perfect with my Monty, which is a commendable feat; he’s a grumpy old man who doesn’t get along with many! She sent the cutest pictures and updates throughout and was so accommodating when my trip didn’t go as planned. Monty also made a new friend in her dog Oreo. Overall, 5 star experience and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“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.”
“Sue was absolutely WONDERFUL. She took such great care of our little Frankie. Loved him like he was her own, sent me adorable pictures and updates. And Frankie was a happy-happy boy when we picked him up. We will be using Sue in the future!!”
“Lauren is seriously the best!! We have utilized her multiple times, and I feel so comfortable when the dogs are with her. She is super sweet, very welcoming, has an awesome backyard, and sends picture updates every day. Our one pup is pretty big and high energy and she handles him very well! Our pups always come home happy and tired. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Would book again and again. Sarah-Jane was great with my pups!! She treated them like they were her own. Easy to communicate with. Will def rebook with Sarah-Jane”
“Thank you so much Olivia for taking care of Copper while we were on vacation! It was obvious he had an amazing time and it was great to receive updates/pictures of him. The care you guys took to ensure he felt comfortable and safe meant a lot to us.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oxford is $49 per night as of November 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 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 November 2026, there are 927 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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, we recommend 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oxford. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
