“We were so lucky to have Denise K. Such a lovely lady. We met her before hand and introduced our girl River (Lab) went through instructions really quickly the rest is history. Denise sent us a video to put us at ease even though we knew all would be well. Cannot recommend Denise enough. Perfect!”
About: I have had pets around me my whole life and am very comfortable with walking, feeding and giving them cuddles. I have done pet sitting consistently since I was 14 and look after my own dog myself when my parents are abroad. I love being around all kinds of pets and am keen to gain experience where needed. I am a student at university and so during term time I would like to take care of pets in the late afternoon and evenings as well as any time on the weekends. However, during holidays I am keen to work at whatever time works best for pet owners and I am highly flexible. At my university house and my summer home I have a fully fenced garden that is dog proofed. In my summer home I have one small Yorkshire Terrier who gets along with other dogs (she’s the boss of the house). Both houses offer a comfortable environment with blankets to snuggle on and food and water.
“Thank you so much for looking after our two fur babies! Daisy is so passionate and caring towards our two cats, sending lots of photos and meeting the animals where they’re at (an 11 year old moggie who likes gentle love and a hyper 10 week old kitten). Will absolutely be booking Daisy in the future and could not recommend more! Thank you again ☺️”
“Claire did a wonderful job. I was very worried about leaving the dogs as one of them is a very nervous, needy rescue dog who I have only had for six weeks or so. They were both very happy and relaxed when we got back from our long day in London, and had clearly had a very nice time with Claire. I will definitely be asking her to help again if needed.”
“Emily is amazing! Very clear and easy communication, very accommodating to the cat’s needs and she also sent regular updates. Our cat was very happy on our return, would definitely recommend and contact again in the future.”
About: I’m a reliable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping them company while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I work three days a week as a children’s nurse, so I have flexibility on my days off and outside of my shifts to provide reliable pet care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. As I live in a flat, I prefer to care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and stick to their normal routine. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a children’s nurse, I’m responsible, trustworthy, and understand the importance of providing calm, reliable care and regular updates for your peace of mind.
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 have had dogs in my life for over 30 years. I am experienced in their welfare as well as being a massive animal lover. I currently work 3/4 days a week and am self-employed. This means that I have plenty of time to look after your precious furry friends. I'm a hairdresser and so if your pet would be happy and settled in my salon, I could easily take him/her to work with me too. If not, I would schedule my work so that I can pop home regularly. I am a 5 minute walk away. I have a secure garden and safe home. I have lots of toys too. I'm good at following any instructions which work for your pets.
“Our 2 dogs liked Cinthya immediately, even our anxious boy. She took the time to do a meet and greet before the pop-in visit (when we were out for a bit too long to leave the boys on their own the whole time). From our point of view Cinthya was friendly, trustworthy and we had no worries that everything wouldn't go to plan. And we had a little video of her visit, which was great. We'll definitely ask Cinthya to look after our doggos again 👍”
About: My experience includes house sitting walking and pop ins for my neighbours German shepherd. I also have owned and walked my family dog for years and have two cats I currently have my own business singing in care homes. Usually I have 1-2 care homes a day that are an hour each and stay in the Witney area so this makes popping in and walking easy and means I have lots of free time! Most of my evenings are at band practice or performances so this is why I don’t do stay ins I have experience walking bigger bread dogs like German shepherds and labradors (also smaller dogs) and also looking after them in the home! I also have experience caring for elderly and young cats with giving medication and love! I feed walk and entertain my Labrador at home and I have done the same staying for 2 weeks for my neighbours dog
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life - growing up in the countryside with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, tortoises, and even snakes! My experience also includes working as a nanny, where I cared for the family’s horses, dogs, and cats, from daily mucking out to riding and routine care. Compassionate, patient, and genuinely animal-obsessed, I always put the wellbeing and comfort of your pets first. As a pet parent myself to a working cocker spaniel and a cat, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. With me, your pets will be cared for just as lovingly as my own. I work full time, but work from home three days a week, so can be flexible. I have my own car, so I can come to you. I have a fenced garden, which is secure. I live in a cottage with my dog and cat. I am extremely tidy and will always clean up after myself.
“Jonathan is a fantastic sitter! Our puppy just loves when he comes over and she’s always left happy. I’d thoroughly recommend Jonathan. He has been such a help and has provided flexibility and peace of mind while we’re at work.”
About: Growing up with many dogs and being a huge animal lover, this was naturally a job I had to do! I've been a dog walker for years now and have experience with many different types of breeds. Living in a flat I've been unable to have a dog of my own, and after losing my angel of a German Shepherd 2 years ago now this job has been so perfect for me and I enjoy getting to meet all kinds of wonderful pups and giving them the care they deserve 💜 I'm a pet sitter and dog walker full time, so if you have a pup that needs extra attention or cannot be left, then I'm perfect for the job! Please note that I do not have a car and can only get to you via busses, so please make sure there is a bus stop nearby before booking! When looking after pets, their safety is my priority. I like to keep an eye on them and make sure all gates are locked if they enjoy their alone time outside! After experience with my own escape artist husky as a teen, I'm always hyper aware and will never leave front doors or windows open. I also attach all keys to my own to ensure they are safe and cannot be lost! You can trust me to keep your home tidy, water plants and clean up any mess from muddy walks when I'm house sitting! My aim is to always leave your home as tidy and perfect as when I arrive there.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - West Oxfordshire
Paula stepped in to help us out at short notice and was absolutely brilliant. Our cat is quite shy and it takes a lot of patience for him to make an appearance, but Paula made him very comfortable while we were away and we returned to a happy and healthy little boy. We will definitely be using Paula again
Martin did an excellent job feeding our cat for two weeks during a very hot period. He even did an extra visit one day when it was very hot to check on her. He sent an update with pictures every day and I felt very happy and confident that Miss Charlie would be well looked after. Communication was excellent and I would recommend Martin anytime.

There are 774 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in West Oxfordshire. About 91% of West 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.
