Jackie was amazing as we had to do a lot of coordination to walk Charles while I was visiting Oxford for a part. It all worked well and smoothly though Charles missed me ! It was great to get the walk and care from Jackie

Priscille has recently started to walk our sensible and nervous dog. She has listen patiently to our instructions and done a fantastic job adjusting to his special needs. Communication has been excellent, we have been kept informed how they were doing on their walks which provided a big peace of mind. I have always found a happy and relaxed dog after Priscille came around, makes me super happy and looking forward to their next walks!

About: I love pets, mostly dogs as I have had dogs in my family. My dog is 18 years old!! She lives with my parents in Spain, and I really miss her... I have had then experience with my own dog and at different stages of her life. Also, my two aunts have dogs, and there are two dogs in my partner's family as well. I have also gone walking at least with four friends and their dogs. They are all different sizes, breeds, and ages, and I love every single one of them. They all had different personalities, and I was able to adapt by giving them more space, ensuring they were comfortable not facing other dogs, or being more affective when they requested it and playing and running with them.
 To be fair, creating this profile would not only help me finantially, but it would also give me love from your pet, which I miss having as I cannot have a pet of my own in my Oxford flat. Therefore, I would take care of your pet as if it was my own. I'm also experienced in not only playing, walking and feeding them, but also giving them medicine (e.g., my dog has epilepsy, so she takes medication three times per day). A few years ago, I also dog sitted a friend's dog, and I had to give him pills hidden in food as well. Moreover, my dog's paws were hurt and I had to treat them with chlorhexidine... and many more examples where she had the recovery collar or other small injuries. Lastly, as a peculiarity: I have been my own dog's hairdresser for her whole life! :) I'm also happy to look after cats, as I have lived in a houseshare where my housemate had a cat and I took care of her when the housemate went away some weekends. I'm a PhD student at Oxford University working on my thesis, without funding. Wondering whether I could get a part-time job, I decided to offer my help as dog or cat sitter. In regards schedule, I can adapt as I'm writing my thesis, but to make it easier for me to organise myself, I would prefer evenings from 5pm. I would be happy to talk about it if you and your pet need another organisation, as well as I'm happy to talk about changing prices if you want to book me for several days/weeks. I have a few days that I won't be available in Oxford during July (July 30th-August 4th) and August (August 16th or bank holiday weekend), but I can try and adapt the rest of the summer days. To be fair, creating this profile would not only help me finantially, but it would also give me love from your pet, which I miss having as I cannot have a pet of my own in my Oxford flat. Therefore, I would take care of your pet as if it was my own:) I cannot have pets in my flat, but I would be delighted to walk your pet (for different lengths, like 30min or an hour, or even 1.30h). In a typical visit or walk, I would ensure he/she runs as well during their walk (if age and heat allow it), plays with a toy (ball catching), and sniffes enough surroundings to cover her/his necessities. It all will depend on the dog's necessities, displayed by the owners. I am also happy to come to your house and play, clean or feed your dog or cat there! I know all dogs and cats need different things, so I'm very happy to adapt:)

About: I have experience with big and small, and quiet and wild doggos. I have a friendly aura and get on well with these furry folk. Cat mother at heart. I am currently a university student and have a schedule that is very flexible. Looking for a few hours in my day to help and bond with your animal. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or medication if needed. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet. I trust that you as the owner has accommodated your home for your animal/pets. With the exception that it is a safe environment for your animals safety. I do not offer services for your animals to be in my home.

About: I've got a 8-year old rescue cat and a 1.5-year old rescue dog. Both came traumatised and are quite anxious and shy and required a lot of patience to gain their trust. I will give your pets the level of care and respect I expect for mine. Shy pets particularly seem to like me but happy to cater to any temperament and any individual needs. I have been cat-sitting for 1.5 years now, with 50+ bookings, catering to social cats, shy cats and cats with medical needs. If you are new to Rover, use the code MELANJ68622 to get £15 off your first booking. I almost always work from home, and I do so flexibly, so I am very available to come and take care of your pet. I do not offer boarding for the wellbeing of my own two anxious pets. I will respect what your pet needs, whether that's lots of attention and play time or to be left alone. You'll get updates and pictures and I will follow any instructions, I'll even water the plants if you want me to :)

About: 🎁 New to Rover? You can use my promo code MELANC83945 to get £15 off your first booking with me. 🐾 Hello there! I’m Melanie - a young professional and Oxford graduate. I’ve always loved animals and it would be my pleasure to care for your pets. As I often work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I also have a small fenced garden for quick outdoor needs and easy access to lovely walking routes including South Park and Headington Hill Park, which are just around the corner. As I live with my partner, I’m best suited to dogs who are house-trained, settled overnight, and comfortable sleeping in their own bed or crate if needed. I’m also happy to adapt to pets with additional needs when discussed in advance, and I have experience caring for senior dogs such as administering medication and supporting mobility needs. Depending on the level of care required, pricing may vary slightly to ensure your pet receives the attention and dedicated care they deserve. Your pets will be treated with genuine care, patience, and lots of affection — I look forward to meeting them! 🐾 I mostly work from home, which means I’m available to settle pets in comfortably. I’m also typically home on weekends and enjoy going for walks, so your pet can benefit from both relaxed indoor time and outdoor exercise. 🐾 My home provides a safe and comfortable environment for your pet, with a securely fenced garden for quick outdoor needs and a spacious two-floor layout where they can roam and relax under supervision. I’m fortunate to live close to South Park, as well as another park right beside it, offering lovely, open spaces for calm and enjoyable walks. Above all, I prioritise creating a trusting, loving atmosphere - with plenty of cuddles, affection, and attentive care - while ensuring your dog gets the exercise and companionship they need (and I happily welcome the extra fresh air while working from home!). 🐾

About: I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs, as well as smaller pets. As the owner of two Ragdoll cats, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets with genuine care and attention! I’m confident managing a wide range of needs—from feeding, grooming, and litter box care to administering medication and providing calm, attentive companionship. I’ve also rescued and cared for a budgie, so I’m comfortable looking after birds and understand the extra care and patience they require. For dogs, I’m an avid runner and endurance athlete, so I’m happy to provide long walks or runs to keep high-energy dogs happy and well exercised. I always tailor my care to each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or need a bit of extra support :) My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—just like they would with you! I'm a researcher with a flexible schedule so happy to work with pet owners to agree on a schedule that works to provide the best care for your pet. I am centrally located in Oxford city centre and would be happy to make visits (multiple a day if needed) to addresses in the area, and also house sit when needed. I take pride in being communicative and will provide frequent updates, and double check any special care instructions to ensure I can provide the best care for your animal companion!

About: If you asked 10-year old Jui who her best friend was, she'd tell you it was the group of Indian stray dogs she would feed and play with everyday! Since then, I've jumped at every opportunity to walk or look after dogs of all shapes and sizes for neighbours, family friends and relatives. My own family dog was a very spirited senior Shih Tzu (pictured above). Dogs always love me - although probably not as much as I love them! I currently work full-time Monday to Friday but I am free everyday after work or during lunchtime for walks. Weekends are also completely free for dogsitting or dogwalking! I will make sure your pet always has comfortable space to relax, regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks, fresh water, and lots of attention and affection! I always try my best to maintain their usual routine and give them as much companionship and care as possible. I keep the home tidy, provide updates and photos for peace of mind, and make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a recent Criminology graduate from Oxford Brookes University, and I’ll be starting a full-time role with Thames Valley Police in August. I have over 2 years of experience caring for dogs and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m available throughout the summer in Oxford and would be delighted to help care for your dog while you’re away, at work, or simply need an extra hand. I’m currently a Criminology student and Oxford Brooke’s. My timetable is very flexible. I also drive and can help out with any other errands. This can be spoken in person. It depends on what type of dogs and if the dog would stay at my house or the owners house.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Oxford on Rover is £17.25 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,545 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oxford. Enter your postcode 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-to-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 your Oxford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Oxford.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

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 our Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 2,545 Walkers in Oxford, 45% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
