About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I now have my own dog Badger who is a 14 months old and super friendly with all dogs and children. I run hockey afterschool care clubs only three hours a week, so I am at home almost all the time, living in the countryside dedicating all my time to my dogs. I have a first class degree in education and am about to start my masters degree at Oxford University which will be one evening per week. So I have a lot of time to dedicate to doggy day care, walking and house sitting etc. Badger loves having friends to play with or snooze next too!
“Have used Cora a number of times now. Very reassuring to find somebody you are comfortable with to look after your beloved pets. No issues with booking. Times are kept, photos videos shared and no issues on our return. One of our dogs is quite a nervous dog and can be difficult. Cora has been excellent with her so great to hear she has become quite settled with Cora - thanks Cora”
“I came home to two very contented, happy cats after Loreta had been caring for them while I was on holiday. Loreta was brilliant - she and the cats made friends quickly at the meet and great, she had great communication before and during the booking, and kindly did additional things like watering my plants. It was so great to relax on holiday knowing that my cats were in such capable, caring hands.”
“Stacey was great: prompt, professional, warm, and enthusiastic. It’s clear she really cares about the animals she looks after, and that she wants their owners to feel confident and reassured. Highly recommended; I’ll certainly use Stacey again when Ruby needs a sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3 years old and currently have 3 family dogs who are my pride and joy! I have spent 13 years with horses of my own: riding and working full time as a groom in my gap year. I work regularly as a house sitter: looking after dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, quails and rabbits - the list is endless! I always spend as much time as possible with animals and would love to help out with people’s pets whilst I can’t have one of my own! I have training in animal first aid and my sister’s partner is a vet and always available on the end of a phone. I’m work full time in drug development at a pharmaceutical company during the week! So my evenings and my weekends are largely free so I am very keen to help look after someone’s pets to fill my time. I can fit into your pets schedule and provide them with my full attention :) I am happy to look after your pet however is normal for them to keep to their routines. Whether that’s walking once or twice a day, sleeping in a crate or on my bed!
“First time booking Georgia and very pleased with her service - she was dropping in on my cat for 2 evenings and made sure to take pics of the cat and also how she'd set up the autofeeder to ensure I could see it was set up correctly.”
About: Since I was 10, I've taken care of both dogs and cats since for my family, dogsitting for my grandmas dogs and her friends' dogs. From dog walks to housesitting to feeding and bathing, I have a lot of experience with animals and love connecting with them! I’m currently out of work right now (from part time) so am always available to look after your pets and can commute to anywhere in Oxford! I'm not currently offering boarding but I have cat toys and food if needed at mine to bring with me; I am happy to feed, bathe and give lots of attention to your pets in whatever way you require and am fully equipped to deal with all different types of animals
About: I had a dog (a Samoyed!) in my childhood through to teen hood, and have been around dogs basically my whole life via friends and family pets and volunteering. I have also had cats, rabbits, budgies, fish, crabs, and hamsters throughout my life. Moreover, I have pet sit dogs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, fish, guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon. I have done pet sitting on and off for the last 10 years, starting when I used to live in Thailand, and then when I moved back to England years ago, mainly for people who were away for days or weeks at a time, and I have enjoyed every minute. I have previously also been a volunteer dog walk for a local sanctuary. I can deal with giving medication (but must be spoken about and agreed prior to booking), as my cat has a thyroid issue and needs daily medication, along with the routine worming tablets etc. I will love your pet as my own and give them the absolute best care. I look forward to meeting your pets! I'm currently looking to do more pet-sitting around my day job (Mon-Fri), so have plenty of time and attention to give your pets in the evenings and weekends especially. I will have time for drop ins (usually once a day, but may be able to fit in 2 depending on how close your residence is to my home or work place). I will love your pet like it's my own, giving it attention when needed but also appreciating it may need some quiet time, just like we all do! You tell me it's daily schedule and I will adhere to stick to it as best as possible.
About: Being a veterinary nurse gives me the skill set to care for those pets with additional needs, both medical and behavioural. I have experiance with puppies and kittens, from hand rearing to puppy parties. I enjoy care of senior patients with mobility issues or those needing that extra TLC. I work as a veterinary nurse still but on reduced hours so it will be around my hours. When house sitting I will not be taking on nursing shifts at the same time so I can give your pets my full attention. When caring for your pets in your own home I look to keep there routine as normal as possible. I find the key to happy and settled pets is ensuring there routine isn't disruptive.
About: I love dogs and have looked after my family dogs from an early age. I offer walks on weekends and weekday evenings as well as in home pet sitting throughout the week. I have had plenty of experience looking after my parents whippets and greyhound growing up, giving them long walks, treats and lots of attention. I would really appreciate your consideration to take responsibility of your dogs and I will be flexible in the hours I can help. I also have a lot of experience looking after bigger dogs and puppies. My Aunt has a jack russell who required quite a lot of attention and long walks to keep him happy. Please use my Promo code for £15 off your first booking with me: FERGUB56721 I’m currently working from home, with flexible office days. This allows me plenty of time to look after your dogs, and allows for you to make any adjustments to the days you need me. I have looked after older dogs that require specific medication regiments and younger dogs that require plenty of attention. I always try to ensure your dogs needs are met and that they feel happy.
About: Although in relatively new to Rover, I have hands on experience caring for and walking a young, energetic Golden Retriever. I’m comfortable handling larger breeds and enjoy taking dogs on enriching walks suited to their individual needs. I’m passionate about dog behaviour and training and I enjoy learning more about how dogs communicate and what makes them feel happy, safe and confident. I’m patient, reliable and understand how important trust is when leaving your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated. I’m available mainly on weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors making them a great opportunity for longer walks and one on one care. Weekdays I’m available mainly after 5pm depending on my schedule. I currently provide pet care in your home where your dog can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routine. I’ll take them time to understand your dog’s individual needs including feeding times, play, walks, rest and any other instructions you’d like me to follow. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can have peace of mind
About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2022 across several platforms, from energetic puppies and affectionate cats to rabbits, lizards, and even the occasional guinea pig. At home, I’m a proud cat mum to Quilla, my 4-year-old feline companion who keeps me on my toes and reminds me how every pet has its own personality and needs. I treat every animal I look after as if they were my own, with patience, love, and a focus on safety and comfort. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or following special care instructions, I pay attention to every detail to make sure your furry friend feels secure, stimulated, and happy while you’re away. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and outdoor breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily adjust to feeding times, walks, and cuddle breaks, ensuring your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Our house is a modest size safe home. No children and has a decent garden fully fenced. Our home is a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment, fully equipped for both active pets and those who prefer quiet company. We have secure indoor spaces, a cozy resting area, and plenty of room for play and enrichment. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I always tailor the setup to suit their comfort level and routine.
About: I've had dogs as a child as part of the family and known how important they are to their owner. More recently I have cats (3) and whilst living in Jordan I fostered several cats and found them homes. I'm used to large dogs, elderly dogs and excited puppies and thoroughly enjoy walking them and keeping them company. If you need someone to pop in and check on your furfamily during the day whilst you're away, stay the night or walk them I can help. I'm a teacher so have half terms free for when you may sant to get away. I don't have children so not dictated by this factor either. I'm not offering board at my home. However I will follow whatever instructions you leave since it will be different for each furfamily. Happy to clear litter trays, play with your pets for mental stimulation or take for walks.
About: I have owned pets, including dogs all my life. I have walked neighbours dogs regularly in the past and worked for a home-from-home boarding business. I have also spent time volunteering at multiple dog and cat rescue centres walking and caring for a range of animals with varying no temperaments annd needs. I am a responsible individual and have extensive knowledge on dog behaviours and pet nutrition. I am flexible for some one-off walks, visits and sits or to arrange something more regular. All breeds and species considered, but I have most experience with spaniels and other gun dog breeds. Walk length and location can be tailored to your dog and their needs. Pricing can be flexible also. Contact me to discuss details further! I have just finished a Master’s degree and am now job searching for a conservation-based job. I have plenty of free time for pet walking and sitting. I am happy to follow your guidance for preferences on walking and sitting schedules. I am currently unable to board dogs in my own home
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs at home and I've taken care of pets for friends and family over the years. I love being around them, caring for them and giving them love. I have a miniature daschund myself and he's the sweetest boy. I'd have more pets in a heartbeat if I could. I'd love to take care of your furbabies. It would be my pleasure. I work full time Mon-Fri but there's a lot of flexibility with my job. I can pop out and pop in as needed so caring for your pet is no problem at all. I will follow all your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You will have daily updates (if preferred) so you can rest assured that all is well with your pets throughout my time with them.

About: Hi my name is Kelly, Ive owned dogs all my life until 2020 when my best buddy sadly passed away. I’ve been pet sitting for over 3 years now and I absolutely love it. Please take a look at my photos, these are all photos which I have taken when pets stay with me- mainly of my regular doggies who I have grown very attached to & love very much! Pop me a message to arrange a meet and great, you’re of course welcome to come visit beforehand. I do have more recent reviews on request from my local doggie owners which I look after regularly. I can also be flexible on the pricing (it’s strange how it works out on here) but can certainly do discount on longer stays & stays with multiple dogs from same household. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch 🐶 💙 This is currently my full time job so I have tones of time to spend with your pets. They will not be left alone & get plenty of attention. Pets will be made to feel at home when staying at mine. I’m happy for them to be on the sofas etc… and they have free roam of the garden as and when they wish.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Oxfordshire on Rover is £17.25 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,655 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in South Oxfordshire. About 91% of South Oxfordshire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 sitter.
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.
