“Alexander is awesome!! He went above and beyond to take good care of our little pup during the week and provided awesome photos and updates! We recommend and will gladly book again!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I offer dog sitting in my safe and welcoming home in Oxford, NC, where your pup will get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise. Whether your dog loves to run around, play fetch, or just relax and cuddle, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like family. I also send lots of pictures and updates so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Creating a fun, clean, and safe environment for every pet is my top priority, and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m able to accommodate pets close to my area easily and make their care a priority while keeping a consistent, calm, and loving environment. Providing a safe environment for pets is very important to me. I have a large yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise while always being supervised and monitored closely. Inside my home, I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and routines to make sure they stay happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.

“Marissa left me feeling like my cat was in very good hands. I know it's Rover policy, but I looked forward to being notified when she arrived and left. Getting the photos made me feel very secure.”

“Ashley was so sweet with my dogs ! She sent great pictures, spent special time with them which I am sure they needed. This was my first time using a Roover and was very happy ! Thanks for your service!”

About: Dear Mom (or Dad), I think I found the perfect place to stay while you're away. When you drop me off, I get to spend time on a peaceful farm where my days have a calm, steady rhythm. I’ll get fresh air, new smells, and gentle guidance to help me settle in and feel comfortable. My day might include time outside, quiet rest, and simple training woven into everyday life—like practicing calm behavior, manners, and confidence in a new environment. If I have energy, I’ll get to move and explore. If I prefer a slower pace, that’s okay too. If I’m a senior dog, I’ll be cared for with patience and ease. If I’m younger, I’ll have structure and outlets that help me stay balanced. Mostly, I’ll spend my time feeling safe, understood, and well cared for—with just the right mix of attention, routine, and calm. Don’t worry about me—I’m in good hands. Love, Your Best Friend Hi, I’m Julie! I live on a quiet farm and have years of experience caring for animals, especially dogs. I offer farm-based training stays, where dogs are cared for in a calm, structured environment using positive reinforcement. Because I live on a farm, dogs benefit from fresh air, open space, and a slower pace—while still having clear routines and thoughtful supervision. I work with each dog as an individual, whether they need gentle handling, confidence building, or help settling into a balanced routine. This is a small, low-volume setting by design, allowing for personalized care and attention. For the safety and health of all dogs, I require up-to-date vaccinations, including rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. My goal is for each dog to leave feeling calm, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I’m home full-time on my farm, and my days naturally revolve around animal care, feeding routines, turnout, and regular wellness checks. Because of this, dogs in my care are rarely left alone and are gently monitored throughout the day. I keep a calm, consistent rhythm that helps animals settle in and feel secure. Safety and a low-stress environment are always my top priorities. In my home, dogs stay in a quiet farm setting where I’m home full-time and able to supervise throughout the day. I keep a structured, predictable routine so pets feel secure and settled. I have a securely fenced yard available for smaller dogs for safe outdoor time. Dogs can always be separated if needed, and I’m comfortable crating when that’s part of your dog’s normal routine. For higher-energy dogs, supervised farm hikes are available as an add-on and are always handled thoughtfully and at the dog’s comfort level.
About: We would love to welcome you to our family! We currently have four dogs and three cats who love playing in our fenced-in yard. I have always had a passion for working with and caring for animals. Growing up, I was raised around all types of animals. My family would rescue, care for, and rehabilitate sick or injured kittens and puppies. I would help clean wounds, bottle-feed young animals, and care for all the animals that came through our home. I also have experience providing emergency veterinary services to various animals. My partner also has a lot of experience taking care of animals. She has worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital and was a puppy raiser for a service dog. We offer daycare as well as overnight stays. We are comfortable providing medication to your pet and helping make them as comfortable as possible. During your pet's visit, they have the opportunity to play alongside our pets or can have a separate space for themselves. I currently work part-time on Mondays and Tuesdays but am home the rest of the week. My partner works from home, so there is always someone at home to play with and take care of your pets. We are often home all weekend unless we are taking a hike with our dogs. Our home offers a fenced-in yard for your fur babies to explore during the day and walks can be taken around the neighborhood. Our cats spend most of their time in the enclosed porch so they can be away from your pets if necessary and our two youngest dogs sleep in cages at night. We can easily provide a crate for your pet during the day or at night if requested and there is space for them to have their own space away from our pets as well.
“Excellent. Desiree is very dependable. She's also great with communication and pics and updates:) She also was really helpful recently when a large loose dog got into our yard - one of my male friends was scared of this dog but Desiree skillfully got the dog back outside our fence with no issues.”

“Nicole stopped in for another potty break. I do believe our 1 year old Goldendoodle has found a new friend. Since our little girls recommends Nicole we do too. Thanks Nicole for taking care of our babygirl.”

“I recently used Kimberly from Rover to take care of my dog, and cats and overall, it was a great experience! Kimberly was very friendly and clearly loves animals, which made me feel comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She provided regular updates and photos, which was a nice touch and helped me feel at ease while I was away. My fur babies seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned, and I appreciated the attention to detail in making sure all of my instructions were followed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Melissa was fantastic! She was willing to drive to my house which was a little ways from her. She took pictures and kept me updated on my puppy. Will def be looking into using her again. Definitely recommend!”

“Dana is fantastic. I couldn’t be any happier with her care of my two dogs and the communication. She clearly knows her stuff and has a heart for animals. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.
About: I have had dogs from 30lbs to 150 lbs and I have loved them all! In my free time I volunteer hiking with dogs at a local animal shelter. And spend the rest of the time spoiling my two fur babies at home. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate a wide range of needs during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. My two fur babies are trained to listen off leash, but love to go for walks on leash. One is a couch potatoes that can be trusted and one a wild puppy that is crate trained. So I am used to a wide range of care needs.

Oxford pet parents share their Rover experiences
As always Alex was amazing!! I have 4 cats, 2 who are very energetic and playful and 2 who are very skittish. He’s was able to Sven, who’s very skittish, tubes AND belly rubs!!! All while entertaining the wild boys lol!! Thank you Alex for loving my babies like I do!!!

I cannot recommend Alexis enough! We have a former stray who has only recently transitioned to being an indoor cat, so she can be very shy and particular about her food. I was nervous about leaving her, but Alexis was incredible. They respected her space, handled her specific feeding routine perfectly, and made sure she was safe and happy. If you have a rescue or a timid pet, this is the sitter for you. 5 stars!

Alexander is a blessing! He took excellent care of our 3 baby's, 2 German shepherds and 1 She-poo. He is very attentive to there needs, he gave them extra loving as asked for from them. He sent photos on each visit and detailed notes on how thier day(s) going. So super excited to find a great person! Alexander exceeded our expectations make sure to ask for Alexander for your sitter, we have reserved time with him already for our next outing.
