About: Hi! I'm Dana. Dogs, cats and other animals have been in my life since I was a kid (which was a looooong time ago!) I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats and a horse, and I have extremely high standards for who I trust with them; they're family, after all! I'm proud to provide the same level of care and concern to your animals too, whether it's on a walk or an overnight stay. My dogs have put me through the wringer! I have a ton of earned life experience dealing with behavioral issues, training, anxiety, injuries, medical care, and more. I regularly care for 14 equines and other farm animals on the 20 acre farm I live on in Allentown, NJ. Happy to provide references on request! I work remotely out of my home and have a flexible schedule. This makes it fairly easy to accommodate your busy life. With new clients I like to have a conversation about your needs and timeline, but can usually accommodate most requests. At present I'm not accepting pets for boarding at my residence, but that may change. I do accept requests for housesitting in the client's home as well as in-home visits for wellness checks, medications, walks and also just good old-fashioned dog-walking services. Training can also be provided upon request & discussion of needs.

“Lexie is awesome! She came to meet our pup before their first walk and was super thorough. She made sure she knew our routines and was so great with Skip, even with all of his puppy energy. He really loved her and we would absolutely ask her to help out again in the future!”

About: I have always been surrounded by dog, whether it was my own or taking care of others. I believe that dogs deserve as much love as they give us. I am a homebody, but that means that I'll be more available to hang out with your dog for walks or trips to the park. I live in a townhouse apartment, which means that I have experience with walking dogs around non-fenced areas. This also means I will be observant if you do have a fenced area.

I’ve cat sit for my sister and her friends on multiple occasions, dog sit for my aunt, watch family friends dogs, and have walked anything from a terrier to a Great Pyrenees. I’m currently a student at Wake Tech and work two part time jobs. The jobs don’t take up much of my time during the week and I utilize time management well, so school isn’t usually too busy unless it’s around tests or exams. I can get up whenever I need to and get sleep whenever I find the time I’m flexible in where I can be and for how long. My homes isn’t good for pet care as I still live with my parents and have a dog of my own living here, but I can assure you in your home I will care for your pet like it’s my own and treat them and your home with the utmost respect. I can do whatever is necessary to take care of my clients pet’s whether that’s just being around them because they like company, taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring their safety above all else.

About: I have had pets all my life and started watching friend's dogs about 10 years ago. I also worked in an animal shelter, allowing me to become familiar with all sorts of animals and temperaments. I have been watching homes and pets for multiple families and have had experiences with special needs pets as well. I also had a dog who was very reactive and can utilize the knowledge I have from his training to take care of reactive or fearful pets as well. I am new to the Chapel Hill area, so my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. I am currently spending all of my free time exploring the local neighborhoods, dog friendly parks, and hiking trails! I can crate animals as needed in their homes and can walk all pets, including reactive dogs. I can also transport animals as needed. I can watch small animals at my home if needed.

About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I know every dog and cat has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. I worked as a veterinary assistant for around two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. My veterinary experience gave me the skills to care for animals safely while being attentive to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m currently a graduate student at UNC and would love to spend some of my time outside of school caring for your pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and excited to give your pet the same love and attention I would want for my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I’m looking to provide pet care around my school schedule, primarily weekends/long weekends. My schedule can vary throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate with you to find times that work for both of us! I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other needs. With my previous experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and will always prioritize their safety and well-being.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oxford is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $20 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 2,351 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Oxford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Oxford after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oxford. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
