About: I have experience of growing up with dogs as well as having my own. I am able to work with dogs from one year up and have had experience of senior dog needs. I have basic knowledge of dog psychology and have helped reactive dogs and improving recall. I am a retired Pharmacist so have plenty of time to accommodate your pet visit/walks needs. I am usually flexible but am ordinarily not available on Tuesdays or Sundays. I can accommodate those days by arrangement on an occasional basis. I am trustworthy and would provide pet care to a high standard. I would be mindful and respectful of your pet and your home during pet visits/collection.
“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'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!). 🐾
“Camilla is a kind friendly person. The dogs took to her relaxed and firm approach immediately. I was very pleased to receive photos and comments every day so I knew where they had walked and how they had behaved. I would definitely use Camilla's services again.”
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.
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: 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: We are a friendly couple （Me & Ying）based in Oxford who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. We offer a calm, clean and quiet home environment, ideal for small or well-behaved dogs. We both have flexible schedules and can give pets lots of attention, companionship and regular walks. We understand how important it is for owners to feel relaxed while away, so we’re happy to provide photo updates and maintain your dog’s normal routine as much as possible. We currently only accept one family’s pets at a time to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. We both work part-time and have flexible schedules, so there is usually at least one of us at home during the day to keep pets company and give them attention. We enjoy quiet daily routines and regular walks, and we’re happy to take dogs to nearby parks for exercise and fresh air. We are a non-smoking household and aim to provide a calm and relaxed environment for every pet. We provide a clean, quiet and safe home environment for pets. We only accept one family’s pets at a time so each dog can receive individual care and attention. We follow each owner’s routines and instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking habits and sleeping arrangements. Dogs are welcome on the sofa, but not on the bed. We’re also happy to send regular photo updates during their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of a range of animals, from dogs and cats to Guinea pigs and gerbils for as long as I can remember. My experience ranges from pet-sitting for neighbours, being hired to train dogs and give them hydrotherapy, and walking a range of differently sized dogs, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and can provide a range of references. I’m currently a student at the University of Oxford, allowing me great flexibility for walking and pet-sitting at all times of day, all days a week. I can not offer dog sitting services in my own home as I am a university student so cannot host animals in my rented accommodation.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Oxford is £14

Camilla is a kind friendly person. The dogs took to her relaxed and firm approach immediately. I was very pleased to receive photos and comments every day so I knew where they had walked and how they had behaved. I would definitely use Camilla's services again.
Neville and I met Teresa and and her daughter Harper this morning. They were punctual and very easy to communicate with. Then, later in the day, Harper did another walk with Neville. It went on time as planned. She sent messages to keep me informed. The day was a big success. I will be using them again.
As soon as Molly saw Hollie she treated her like an old friend. We did our first walk together and second time Molly was very happy to go off with Hollie without looking back, which is unusual for her. Hollie is clearly very knowledgeable about dogs and responsible about their welfare.

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.
