About: I have been around dogs my whole life & have rescued 2 dogs of my own (ages 9 & 6) along with regularly caring for family and friends pets. Over the recent years, I have fostered 4 dogs which have included Rottweiler and Cane Corsos. I work from home regularly and on days where I am working in the office (typically 2 days a week) I will have 1 hour break to spend time/let out/walk your dog along with my 2 so they will never be left for more than 4 hours at any one time during the day. I live directly next to a number of large fields which I will ensure your pet has sufficient exercise during their stay. Due to my 2 dogs coming from rescue centres, they are used to being around plenty of dogs of all sizes. As previously mentioned, all dogs that I have cared for in the last 3 years have all come from different backgrounds with some difficult behaviours/personalities so I am able to adapt to any dogs needs. Your pet will have access to my full home and will be allowed on the sofas if this is something your pet is used too. I am also happy to crate your pet should this be their routine, please provide a crate for the duration of their stay. Your pet will receive a minimum of 2 long walks a day with plenty of breaks in the garden during the day with plenty of toys to play with inside too. I have a large fenced garden with plenty of walks nearby without having to travel. Due to having 2 needy dogs they are very rarely left unattended which means your pet will have company 90% of the time. During any stay at your pets home I will ensure that their routine is followed just the same and will remain professional throughout.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since age of 10. From hand rearing baby bunnies, feeding ducks, chicken and kittens to puppies to all grown up cats she dogs even feeding baby cows I just love animals. Happy to help where I can. I currently work at a local medical practice 3 days a week part time so can fit in on my days off and come before and after work. I work part time 3 short days a week with 4 out of 7 days off it fits in pretty easy. I always make it work. I have 3 children who just love animals aswell sometimes they like to come with me and help me with walking fussing and feeding under my supervision but they know on occasions they can’t if your furry friend is not overly keen on children. As I work in healthcare I’m fully dbs checked also.
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: A lover of all animals, giving pets love and care gives me great pleasure! I’ve owned small to large dogs throughout my life so i’m comfortable with all breeds. I also have owned cats, rabbits (which also had babies!), guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish and a horse. Needless to say it gives me great joy to care for them all and get to know all of their quirky personalities. I can be as flexible as possible with any needs you may have, every pet and their owners needs are different so whatever your situation is do not hesitate to get in touch and we will see if I can accommodate what you need. Looking forward to meeting your very best friends!
“We asked Cora to take care of our cat as well as our neighbors' cats, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly kind and warm, yet also highly professional and knowledgeable about pet care. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such capable hands.”
“Francesca is great: a fantastic communicator, and really attentive to the needs of my chihuahua. Ruby seemed really relaxed when I got home, even on her first visit. I entirely recommend her services!”
“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 live in Abingdon with my husband and our two children, and we share our home with our adorable dog, Coco. She is well socialised and loves meeting and playing with new friends. As a family, we enjoy getting out for walks both locally and in the nearby countryside. We are a dog-loving household, and I would be a caring and responsible sitter for your lovable pooch. I am a teacher so available half terms and holidays. Please do check in as I usually have longer holidays than state schools. Our days consists of outside time in our garden and at least 2 walks. Lots of cuddle time in-between, of course. We have a fenced garden which is very secure. I aim to keep to your dog’s feeding and walking routine with lots of love and attention given.
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 have grown up with dog's, I have loved dogs all my life and I have become very intuitive with their wants and needs. I like to be very active, so dogs that enjoy long walks, hikes and even runs (if that's something they would enjoy) )will be in great hands and I will bring them back well exercised. Me and my partner now have our own Miniature Labradoodle, who is super friendly and absolutely loves the company of other dogs, so if you are looking to go away and want your dog to have a mini break or their own, we are definitely the home for you. What I offer Dog walking, everyday early morning and late evenings but lots of days available throughout the week. Pet sitting and overnight stays at my own house alongside Teddy (we wouldn't host more than one dog at a time as to not overwhelm either dog). Teddy is allowed on our sofa and sleep on their own beds upstairs, so however your dog is looked after at home, we would do our best to replicate that and make sure any training was stuck too, while treating them as part of the pack. Pet sitting and overnight stays elsewhere on occasion Checking up on your pets whenever I am available in the day. Any other requests taken into consideration. My Partner will also be present and works from home the majority of the time, so your best friend will be well looked after and supervised at all times. Me and my partner work full time, but usually have alternative schedules with him WFH 3 days a week, so there is rarely a time where our own dogs are left alone. We have an active lifestyle and like to involve our dogs in that, long walks, runs and days out to the beach. We both absolutely love dogs, all shapes and sizes. I regularly look after my mums dogs overnight and every dog that comes in the house is treated like our own. We offer a fun, calm atmosphere while making sure everyone is behaving themselves.We do love being active and we wouldn't shy away from looking after any high energy dogs!
About: I am a student with plenty of free time and a lifelong love of dogs. I have a 7 year old dog of my own, currently staying in Spain, so I know firsthand what it takes to care for a happy, healthy pup. I enjoy keeping dogs active and entertained whether that's going for walks, hiking, running, or simply having a great time at the park with a ball. Whatever your dog loves, I'm happy to make it happen. I live in my own home in a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood surrounded by open land and green spaces, with a wonderful dog loving community nearby. The perfect environment for any dog to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I am currently studying for a Master's degree, which only requires me to commute to London a couple of days a week. The rest of the time I am at home studying, or out enjoying outdoor activities and exercise. I will be able to dog the walk as many times is needed. I got my own house with a reasonable garden with artificial grass connected to the kitchen. Also my house is sorrounded by green areas. I always make sure the dog is attended and get fully tired when is the play time.
About: Hi, I’m Jako. I am a responsible, loving parent based in Oxford with a deep passion for animals. Because I have children, I understand exactly what it means to trust someone with a loved one. I treat every dog I care for with the same level of patience, safety, and attention to detail that I do my own family. Whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule or knowing exactly how to handle a sudden burst of energy, I am calm, capable, and ready to help. For me, dogs are the ultimate stress-busters. In a busy world, I love how dogs remind us to slow down and enjoy the simple things, a walk in the fresh air, a game of fetch, or a quiet cuddle on the sofa. I love their honesty and their unconditional love. Spending time with dogs brings a genuine smile to my face; their excitement is contagious, and I find their company incredibly therapeutic. As a parent, my life runs on a solid routine. After the morning school drop-off, I have dedicated hours free for long walks and play. I am up early and active all day, meaning I can stick to your pet's feeding and walking schedule perfectly without ever missing a beat. As a parent, my home is secure, child-proofed, and safe. I provide constant supervision in a loving family environment, strictly following your rules and routine.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 6 years now from friends pets to family dogs and I’ve had the chance to look after all kinds of breeds and personalities! I’ve always loved dogs, and nearly two years ago I finally got one of my own my sweet girl, Miko. That experience really taught me just how much time, patience and care dogs need (and deserve!). Looking after dogs is something I genuinely enjoy it keeps me active, boosts my mental health, and just makes me happy. I’m lucky to have the time and flexibility to give them my full attention. Dogs are such loyal, fun, and loving animals, and that’s exactly why I’ve started offering dog walking and sitting services. I truly believe they deserve the best care and I’m here to provide just that! I’m currently self-employed, which gives me the flexibility to set my own schedule. This means I can prioritize dog care and am available any day or time your pup needs me. When I’m not looking after dogs, I work around their schedule so your dog always comes first! I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. My own dog Miko, is a friendly and playful female who loves the company of other dogs but she’s also great at reading the room and knows when to settle down. If your dog prefers some quiet time or space to themselves, that’s no problem at all. Miko is very calm and respectful, so your pup can feel comfortable and at ease here. 😋
About: Your dog deserves a walk that's actually good for them and not a quick loop around the block. A proper outing with real exercise, time to explore and sniff, the kind of steady, calm handling that leaves a dog genuinely satisfied. I believe a dog needs at least an hour to get this which is why every walk I offer is an hour. I shared thirteen years with a wonderful red Setter named Mozart and, over the years, I've cared for other dogs and cats and rescued a fair number as well. I know dogs, I can always figure out what motivates them. There's nothing better than a well mannered dog with solid recall who can be let off the lead to really stretch out and explore and that's the kind of walk I love giving. But I'll always follow your lead on this and if you tell me your dog can't be trusted off the lead, then they stay on. I'll only ever walk dogs together if they're from the same household, or once I've had the chance to get to know them and I'm confident they'd genuinely get along. Even then, I'll only take up to three dogs at most. Otherwise, I keep walks one dog at a time. I'm a mature student reading philosophy now and I'm free all summer and able to take regular slots. Therefore, I can offer the kind of consistency that's good for a dog, a routine they can rely on. If cost is a concern, please talk to me. I'd rather work something out than cut a walk short. I'm a mature full time student reading philosophy. The academic year has finished and there's a long time until the next. I have time to spend with your furry family members, scheduling permitting. It depends on the levels of trust and comfort your pets would have with me being in their home. It also depends on the requirements. This will vary quite a bit and it's worth having a conversation first.
“Daisy was very attentive and caring towards our cats and sent us pictures and a report daily to keep us up to date. She asked thoughtful questions and prioritised the wellbeing of our cats which we really appreciated, as well as being a lovely person in general. Absolutely recommend her.”

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 South Oxfordshire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm.
