“Lily is a fantastic pet sitter! My girls loved her! I was nervous at the beginning about leaving my ferrets alone for a long time, but Lily dropped in and my worries faded away quickly. She is very responsible and beyond my expectations. I also appreciate Lily sent me photo updates about my girls every time she dropped in. Lily is very trustworthy, and my girls love playing with her. :)”

I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities and always want them to feel safe and loved! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m especially available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine! I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they leave me. I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.
About: As I've grown up I have taken care of my three family's pets (two dogs and one cat). Additionally, I've also occasionally assisted my neighbors in taking care of the pets as well. I am very comfortable in working with new pets and will work my best to provide them with the care that each one of them needs. I am a full-time student at Miami University. I am in class generally between 9am to 3pm on weekdays, I will work with you to find the best care that will fit your pet's needs as well as my schedule. I am willing to stay overnight at client's houses so that your pets feel more comfortable. Otherwise, I am willing to check in on your pets throughout the day so that they are not left alone for long periods of time. I will work with you to determine what is best for your needs and your pets.

With years of experience, I pride myself on being highly reliable and dedicated to ensuring your dog receives the best care and attention.

“Maggie did an exceptional job with my two dogs . I booked the wrong dates and needed her that same day and she made it happen. Her patience and flexibility is top notch. Dependable and trustworthy! I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs and my genuine love for spending time with them. I have had three dogs throughout my life and currently own two dogs that I raised from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with their care, training, and daily needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have watched my neighbors' dogs while they were out of town. Whether I am caring for my own pets or someone else's, I make sure they are well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and playtime. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. My experience, reliability, and passion for dogs allow me to provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for every dog I watch. I am currently a full-time student with a flexible class schedule. My classes are primarily in the late mornings, which allows me to be available for pet care in the early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have reliable transportation and can easily travel to care for your pets. While I am unable to provide overnight stays, I am happy to make visits throughout the day to ensure your pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I am also available most weekends, providing additional flexibility for pet owners who need dependable care. At my home, I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy time outdoors. I have two high-energy dogs, so I am very familiar with providing the exercise and attention active dogs need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs on a leash when outdoors if the yard is not fenced. I am also comfortable using a crate when requested or when it is part of the dog's regular routine. Before leaving, I make sure each dog has fresh water, food if needed, and a treat, while ensuring they are comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely adore them. I have experience working with puppies and older dogs. I spent the whole summer dog walking and would absolutely love to help take care of yours. I have most availability on weekends but may be available week days in the evening depending on the day! I am a graduate student who is looking for a part time job that I enjoy :) As of right now I will not be caring for pets in my home. That being said I am a very responsible sitter who is always looking out for the safety of your dog.
About: I grew up with a Chow until I was twelve. I've taken care of Husky's, Pits, Poodles and German Shepards. I love caring for dogs, playing with them, making sure they're fed, walked, and generally cared about. I work part-time at a local Co-Op. I am available most of the time in the afternoon or evening. I enjoy pet care as a gig job because it gives me the opportunity to care for animals in my local community, while also getting to help out my neighbors! I don't have a dog, but have cared for many. Some were surprises, some were expected. There's a dog park nearby my house, the neighborhood dogs are friendly, and the owners are responsible with them about interaction.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own that I have trained myself. I have looked after friend’s animals numerous times. I have walked, fed, bathed, cut nails, and groomed dogs before. I can work my schedule around what is needed and am willing. I don't normally have things scheduled after work other than taking my pups for a walk. I have two friendly and energetic pups that can keep yours company! I have a plethora of toys, treats, and my apartment complex has a dog park. I have a balcony that my dogs love to sit out on and play/sun bathe. I will love your pups like they are my own!
About: Nice to meet you! I am currently in my gap year before medical school. My genuine and caring personality comes from my many years working at a senior living facility, at the James Cancer Hospital, as an at-home caregiver, and now at a primary care office. While healthcare is my main field, I grew up with animals and they have a soft spot in my heart! People would describe me as responsible, diligent, and more than willing to lend a helping hand! Please feel free to reach out! Monday through Thursday I work 7:45am to 5pm, so I am available before or after then! On Fridays, I work 7:45-1pm. On the weekends, I am available any time! I live in a single family home with a large back yard and I am in walking distance to many parks. I currently live with two other girls and we do not own any pets. Both roommates are animal lovers as well, so we create a very caring environment!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxford
Kassidey is fantastic! Our two dogs laid at her feet within minutes of meeting her. She provided lots of pictures and notes from each of her visits while we were gone. She handled an unexpected situation when the house key got stuck in the door lock. She handled it professionally and resourcefully. She was willing to go over and beyond, offering to tidy up before we came home. She watered our plants when she noticed they were drooping, of her own accord. We will definitely use Kassidey again. She is a gem.
Jenna did a wonderful job caring for our 5 animals! Jenna came twice to meet each animal and go through the process of caring before final booking. She provided updates and photos throughout the sitting sessions and we came back to happy tails! Thank you Jenna 😊

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.

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.
