About: I have years of experience caring for and boarding friends’ and family members’ dogs, and I genuinely enjoy making dogs feel comfortable and at home while their owners are away. I work from home, which means I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day and accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routine. With a fully fenced-in yard and frequent walks, your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, playtime, and relaxation. I also have experience caring for a dog with medical needs, including administering oral medications and managing a prescription diet. I understand how important it is to follow feeding instructions, give medications on schedule, and make sure only approved foods and treats are given. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, just like one of my own! I work from home full time and maintain a consistent daily routine with my own dog, so pet care is already a natural part of my day. This includes daily walks, outdoor playtime, and regular feeding schedules. Having a flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to easily accommodate your dog’s routine and individual needs without disrupting their day. Whether they need extra walks, playtime, attention, or a little extra care, I’ll be happy to make them feel right at home! My home is very dog-friendly and set up to make visiting dogs feel right at home! I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for running around, playing, and getting some fresh air. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and can make themselves comfortable throughout the house. I also have an Australian Shepherd who loves meeting and playing with other dogs and people. He’s crate-trained and has grown up with other dogs being a regular part of his environment, so having a furry visitor around is nothing new to him. I also understand that every dog has different personalities and comfort levels. I’m happy to provide separate spaces, breaks from playtime, and individual attention whenever needed. Whether your dog wants a playmate or prefers some quiet time to themselves, I’ll make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. My goal is to make every dog feel welcome, relaxed, and part of the family!

“Lorraine was absolutely fantastic with my pups! Not only they were well taken care of but she also gave me updates and photos of them daily! And as a mama of two pups that brings peace of mind. My pups loved her and adapted really well. I totally recommend Lorraine as she is a very sweet lady and it shows how much she loves animals ❤️ thank you !”

“Claudia did an amazing job looking after my puppy! I highly recommend her! This was the first time leaving my puppy with a pup sitter and I could not have asked for anyone better than Claudia to look after her. The daily updates through pictures and videos helped me feel at peace and also know that my puppy was in great hands and very well cared for. Thank you so much again, Claudia!”
“Megan and Vince are awesome caregivers to our furry friends. Gracie always has a great time there. Pictures are sent throughout the stay and it is evident she is happy and cared for. She is definitely one of the pack.”

“Laura was great. She took wonderful care of our sometimes difficult pup and he loved being there with her and her pup Eugene. We’re going away for 10 nights soon and Laura is our first choice of sitters. We definitely recommend her to anyone needing a caring, supportive sitter in their home!”
“Brittany took great care of Chewy during our vacation! He looked happy in each picture she sent while we were away. He even took his 1st swim! She has a wonderful yard to explore and I can tell her family loves animals. I looked forward to her pictures and updates daily. So glad I found her at the last minute and we will absolutely use her services again! Thanks again Brittany!”
“Kaylee was amazing! She watched my dog Bullett for two weeks while I was on vacation, and I never had to worry once. She sent pictures and updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing.

About: Hello furry parents! My name is Lily and I’m excited to support you and your family. I have worked with all dog breeds and all ages through fostering. I am currently in my training certification program to provide proper education to you and your puppers. I am an online student looking to spend my free time with amazing pets. My top priority is to give all animals time and love. Whether it’s giving a long walk, using my dog park at my complex or administering medication, I’m your girl! When I would care for your pets, it’s all about the greeting. I would love to make sure your pets are as comfortable with you as for me!

“Curtis was absolutely wonderful with Rosie! He was kind, dependable, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in his care while we were away. Rosie was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when we picked her up. Curtis treated her like part of his own family, and that peace of mind meant so much to us. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely book with Curtis again!”
“We’re very fortunate Erica could watch our mini poodle Juno again. He stayed with her for 11 days and we had complete confidence he was in great hands. She updated us frequently with texts, pictures and videos, reassuring us that all was well. Erica also gave Juno lots of love, play, and took him on walks. We are very happy with the quality care he received and will continue to hire Erica for future trips.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Best dog boarding experience ever! Happy dog, happy pet parents! How can you beat a family of 4 totally focused on your pet. Our 10 yr old was thrilled to find there were 2 boys to keep our Daisy cuddled and loved. Jill and Chad are great - pic updates, great communication. We WILL be using them whenever we travel. This was like leaving our dog with best friends. Thank you so very much. Your family is so appreciated!”
“We are very appreciative of the great care that Pearl always provides for our dog. This experience, like every other before, was exceptional. We have total confidence that our dog is happy, safe, and healthy whenever he is with Pearl. The dog feels right at home with her every time, which enables us to enjoy our time away without having to worry about him. Many thanks!”

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.
96% 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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 PA 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.
