About: I’ve lived with dogs ever since I was a baby. I have over 18 years of experience taking care of dogs, and have my own personal dog that I take care of for the past seven years. I currently work full-time as a substitute teacher but am working towards being a full-time dog sitter and walker! I am also free on the weekends! I have a fenced in yard for my dog and take her on walks daily! I love being outdoors and keeping my dog in an active and healthy lifestyle!

About: I am a mature and reliable pet sitter with a preference for cats but will also be happy to provide care for small dogs or other animals. I operate with a genuine love for all all animals and have a history of community service and donations to animal shelters and causes. I have been a cat owner for over 12 years and currently have one senior cat. When it comes to cat care, my extensive experience and commitment to feline companionship shine through. I specialize in socializing skittish cats, exercising larger cats, and soothing senior cats. I am detail-oriented, ensuring that your pets get the care and attention they are accustomed to, including medication management, grooming, and in-home care. I am proactive in communication and am also highly responsive, giving pet-owners piece of mind. But that's not all – my versatility extends to caring for dogs as well. I bring the same level of dedication and expertise to canine companions, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or adherence to dietary requirements, I'm well-equipped to provide comprehensive care for dogs of smaller sizes. With me as your trusted pet sitter, you can confidently leave both your cats and dogs in capable hands. Your pets' happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I take pride in delivering exceptional care tailored to their individual needs, whether they're four-legged felines or canine companions. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate most requests with enough notice. While I can provide care for your pet in your own home, I am also available to host your pet in my home. I have a one-level home with hard wood floors (for easy cleanup) and pet-proof furniture. I do not let animals outside unattended so if you have a cat that likes to wander outside, I will not be comfortable allowing that

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Briana, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From our first interaction, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of dog care. Briana took the time to get to know my dogs' personalities, habits, and specific needs, which put me at ease right away. During the time I was away, she provided regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured me that my pups were in great hands. Thank you Briana”

“Ryan was great with my large-breed, hyper-active dog! I really only required that he feed and put her in the yard to do her thing but he went above and beyond to take her on walks and play fetch. He even sent me updates and pictures while I was away! Remi’s separation anxiety has kept me from going on trips. This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous and skeptical leaving her alone at first, but with Ryan I felt 100% confident that she was well taken care of, which meant I could fully enjoy my recent trip! I will absolutely be contacting Ryan for future visits!”

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been around them since I was a child. I've cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and family, so I'm comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company with plenty of cuddles, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. What sets me apart is the care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll treat your dog like they're part of my own family, providing reliable care, affection, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, evening walks, overnight care, or weekend attention, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I make sure I have the time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I provide care in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Through years of experience handling various breeds and temperaments, I approach each furry companion with compassion and respect. Creating a safe and nurturing environment entrusted to my care. I currently work from home and often have more than enough time. Activities such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship can ensure the well-being and happiness of our furry companions. I do not care for pets often anymore due to the passing of my longtime pup at 13 years old. I want to create a happy, healthy, and safe space for a short time to help others.

“Amarichi was a lifesaver! We needed drop-in visits, walking, and feeding for our two pups.(One senior, perpetual toddler, 14-year-old Cockapoo, and a 4-year-old Boxer mix. Amarichi arrived on time, she sent updates with photos; she was very helpful with problem solving; and she provided solutions for unexpected situations (our Cockapoo wouldn’t let our other furbaby eat or drink in peace.) Amarichi is a true gem, we’ll definitely rebook her services again. I absolutely recommend Amarichi, without question.”

About: I am here to take of your dog and to provide them the love they long when it’s vacation time for owners (or anytime you need to yourself). Provide exercise for dogs (usually in half-hour or one-hour increments). Pick up and dispose of dog droppings during walks. Check dogs' food and water supply to make sure basic needs are met after walks. I am very patient and show a lot of compassion towards dog. I just want them to feel at home away from home! I am also a very active person, so your dog will be able to have all of their fun they usually have or more when they are with me! I hope to walk your dog soon! Prices are non negotiable I am working from home currently. This will allow me to give your first baby all of the attention they desire. Please ask me any questions on any accommodations that we may be able to work out. I don’t have any pets of my own so if your fur baby isn’t fond of other pets they can feel secure being over my home. My I am close with my neighbors who do have friendly pets as well, so if your pet loves company, they can be easily accommodated. We also have a dog park walking distance from the complex

I love animals and provide kind and sensitive care . I work from home Monday-Friday and go into the office one day per month.

I have flexible time throughout the day to care for animals in my home or in the pet owners home. I have a yard and a nice neighborhood to go on long walks . I can easily store a crate in my home if needed. I can also visit your pet in their home several times a day to provide care or walks.

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

About: Hi there! I’m Mara, a loving, caring, and responsible pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs. Growing up with my two beloved pups, Bodoque (dad) and Junior (son) both being Maltese-French Poodle mix, I learned how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. I am bilingual (Spanish) and eager to accommodate pets of various ages and mobility. That’s why I’m saving up to become a certified Pet Communicator! Yes, you read that right—speaking with your furry baby to understand their needs and feelings even better. Your trust helps to deepen this connection and make this dream a reality.! Why Choose Me? I genuinely LOVE dogs, all kinds! Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pet has unique needs, whether it’s medication, extra attention, or just some tender loving care. My goal is to make sure your furry baby feels at home, safe, and happy while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind. My husband and I recently lost our beloved Boston Terrier, Meatball, in 2022. He was 16 years old and the heart of our home. Although we miss him dearly, we have so much love to give. Think of us as the cool aunt and uncle who adore spending time with your pets! Beyond pet sitting, I aim to build a deep connection with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved during their stay. Your Pet’s care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love starting my mornings with a walk, which is the ideal time to take your furry baby out, especially before it gets too hot. If I know a pet is coming, I plan my day around their needs—whether it's scheduling walks, giving them their medicine, or just spending quality time together. And if I have to step out, my husband is always here to make sure your pet is cared for. When caring for your furry baby in our home, we treat them with the routine and love present on their own. My husband and I create a relaxed, loving environment where your pet is free to be themselves. Whether they prefer lounging on the couch, sleeping in bed with us, or sticking to a specific routine, we accommodate their needs to make sure they feel safe and at home. We're easy-going and flexible, and we even enjoy teaching new tricks! Your pet's happiness, wellness, and comfort are our top priority.

About: As a college student studying Zoology, animals and their care are more than a side hustle or a hobby: they’re my world. Apart from my academic coursework in animal care and welfare, I have more than eight years of personal care and volunteer experience with numerous animals, including but not limited to: cats, dogs, horses, rats and mice, hamsters, snakes, various types of lizards and amphibians, goats, chickens, sheep, cattle, and even invertebrates such as tarantulas and scorpions. Rest assured, I’ll never discriminate against your furry pal! I have experience giving oral medication, both liquid and pill, as well as insulin injections and subcutaneous fluids. I also have experience caring for elderly animals — like my 18 year old cat, Maya! I can provide feeding, brushing, hoof care, walking, exercise, medication, play time, turning out, litterbox cleaning and much more! I have a driver’s license and my own transportation, and my hours and pay are flexible. I am willing to drive 60-90 minutes depending on needs. As mentioned prior, I have extensive prior experience volunteering at various shelters, vets and farms assisting with animal care, as well as my own personal experience caring for a diverse array of pets. I am happy to gather recommendations from organizations I work with. While caring for your pet or pets, I will regularly keep in contact with you and update you with both text and photos (if desired), along with keeping a dedicated spreadsheet of feeding/watering/grooming times and overall health to guarantee your peace of mind. I am capable of providing pet care across a flexible schedule. I can provide early care from 6-9 AM in the morning and any time after 4:20 PM on weekdays, as well as 24 hour care on weekends and overnight stays if needed. I am able to care for pets in a wide variety of ways thanks to expensive experience. Walking, feeding, litter-box cleaning, playtime, as well as insulin/subcutaneous fluid injections are all possible. I can also administer medication orally. Daily checkups as well as overnight stays are both possible.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Oxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oxford is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $42 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,677 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oxford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Oxford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 90% of sitters 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
