“Muy contenta con su atencion a layla y nos mantuvo actualizados con fotos y mensajes para ver a nuestra cachorra.. nos encantaria volver a regresar a usar sus servicios. Gracias Mario”
“Gracie and Emilio went above and beyond to care for our dog! They took her on daily walks, played at the park, and sent lots of photos to keep us updated. They have a great outdoor space and their dog Gigi was such a fun playmate for our active dog. Would highly recommend them caring for your pup and will definitely book again!”
“Matthew and Stefanie were fantastic. Charley got lots of playtime and exercise with their dogs. Plus, they switched Charley's kennel with their bigger one because she had outgrown mine.”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Kalia. She was always quick to respond to booking requests, messages, and was very understanding when we had to cancel a different booking due to a change in plans. She sent regular updates and pictures of our boy and I could tell he was having a great visit with her and her two goldens. She put our mind at ease as this was our first time booking through Rover. We had used boarding facilities in the past and our boy would come back overstimulated and often with tummy issues, but it was not the case when he stayed with Kalia. We will definitely book with her again next time!”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“Tiantian was great with our 2 dogs. She met them before, was responsive, had a great setup at her house and sent sone status pictures and a video to let us see our loves.”
“Brittany has been amazing with my pup who has some separation anxiety. He gets excited when he realizes where we are headed, he practically busts the door down to get in!”
“My son got married and of course the whole family went. But, I was at ease knowing my Maxie would be in great hands. Ive used Ashley before for longer periods of time. I know every time I do she cares for Max and sends me pics of him playing, sleeping, etc. Which I love by the way because I can see him enjoying himself and I dont feel as guilty.”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with my two pups and kitty! This was a last minute booking and she took the best care of my fur babies. She was super punctual, communicative, and sent me daily updates and photos of the crew so I always felt like I knew how they were doing. She also took the best care of my house, keeping it clean and doing little extras like washing the linens and towels that she used before I cam home. I will definitely be booking with her again when I travel.”
“I can’t express how thankful I am. This was a new experience for me as a new pet owner, definetly the best choice I’ve could’ve made. Paola and her family were absolutely great to Dobby. Always kept me in touch while I was away with pictures and made me feel so in touch with my Dobby as well. Thank you guys :)”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for pets with love, patience, and attention to detail. I understand how important your pets are to your family, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you are away. I am very responsible with feeding schedules, active walks, playtime, and following any specific care instructions you provide for your furry friends. I am currently studying English online, which gives me a very flexible routine and plenty of free time every day. Because of this schedule, I am available daily to spend full quality time caring for, feeding, and giving attention to your pets. Pets in my care are never left unattended and will always be under constant supervision in a safe, secure, and clean environment. I treat every animal with love, caution, and care to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and completely secure at all times.
“Cayley was awesome with Duke and Addie! From her update pics, I could tell they were getting taken care of and were comfortable in her care. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with. Thank you Cayley for taking care of our pups while we were away :)”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Annette! She took amazing care of our sweet baby Kenji over the weekend. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with frequent updates, photos, and videos. She truly went the extra mile to make sure Kenji felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Alynette did an absolutely amazing job caring for and watching over my fur baby, Stitch. She was attentive, compassionate, and made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Stitch was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during his stay. I highly recommend Alynette to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care, and I will definitely be returning again in the future!”
“Anna did a great job watching our dog, Penny, for 3 nights! She was responsive and professional and keeps us updated with pictures and videos. Our dogs played together well it appeared and that helps owners relax when they know their dog is entertained as well as watched. Thanks Anna!”
“Bethany was truly AMAZING. I cannot say enough good things about the care she gave my dog. From the moment we dropped off, I felt completely at ease, and that peace of mind is priceless. She treated my dog like her own — with so much love, patience, and attention. I got updates, photos, and could tell my pup was not just being “watched,” but genuinely cared for and happy. When I picked my dog up, she was relaxed, well taken care of, and clearly adored her time there. That says everything. If you’re nervous about leaving your pet, she is the person you want. Absolute 10/10 experience 🩷🤍🐾”
“Would 100% rebook with Siobhan! Took incredible care of my pug, was super quick to respond and sent me updates so I didn’t worry once. Would give 10 stars if it let me!”

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.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Ojai can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ojai home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ojai.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ojai. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Ojai sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
