“Richelle C. did an excellent job taking care of my cats Mickey and Minnie. She was punctual, dependable, friendly and took extra time and care with my kitties. I’d highly recommend her.”
“Shannon is the ultimate professional. Shows up on time with a lovely energy. My two kitties welcomed her right away. She asks all the right questions pertaining to the pets care. I felt comfortable with her caring for my kitties while I was out of town. Thank you Shannon!”
“Alison was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From our initial meet-and-greet, I could immediately tell she was kind, patient, and genuinely loves animals. As a dog mom, that’s incredibly important to me, and she made me feel completely at ease. During her visit, she took Bentley on a nice walk, spent quality time with him, gave him lots of affection, and followed all of my care instructions perfectly. I could tell she treated him with the same love and attention he’s used to receiving, which meant so much to me. She also kept me updated throughout the visit, and I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Alison again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet as if they were their own.”
“Nora was absolutely wonderful. Will def rebook with her again. Her check ins were thorough and consistent. She was a great communicator. And she was very flexible and helpful when we had to deal with a family emergency while we were away (and had to extend our booking). She even fixed a troubled doorknob while we were gone. Nora was great.”
About: I’m the sitter for you if you want someone who actually LOVES what they do. From the moment I meet your furry friend to the second we part, I take care of them as my own and prioritize their comfort and fun time! Your baby will be safe, happy, and cared for with me, and I have loyal clients who assure the same. Since mine passed away, I’ve taken care of strays, but I still love having those lovely personalities panting around. That’s why I do this; I believe in great dog-sitting care. I am punctual with meal times, love to run and play, clean up, and I love to cuddle/bond with my new little friends. I go above and beyond for my pets and their owners, and I like to get to know them as my own. I welcome new and returning clients and have earned their loyalty with consistency and dedication to my work. Hope to have you join the pack soon! Whenever I have a day off that I don’t have plans on I head over to the Ventura Animal Shelter to donate some of my time and attention to lovely animals. I would love to be able to spend time with dogs since at my current stage in life can’t afford one. ❤️ When taking care of pets in the homes of others, a lot of trust goes into place. I’d be glad to take on that trust.
“Victoria was absolutely wonderful! She came to meet our 3 cats prior to our trip and was able to connect with all of them, even our very shy Siamese girl. She sent us so many great photos and really seemed to enjoy her time with our babies. I would highly recommend her!”
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.
About: I grew up taking care of animals. I currently have one Russian Tortoise, one pug, and two chihuahuas. One is diabetic so I have experience with giving insulin injections and monitoring pet health. I have house sat and pet sat for years. I also worked at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo for one year and worked with animals and conservation. I am currently a student and have plenty of availability. I have class Monday and Tuesday from 3-7 pm, and Thursday from 4-5pm, but can work around it. I live in a an apartment in a safe community, with a gated yard. I have a doggy door for access to the yard. There are tons of walking paths around.
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”
“Britney is amazing. She was very responsive and accepted a same day booking. I was traveling so we didn’t have a meet and greet. She adjusted the times as needed for my dog. Britney introduced herself to my dog until she was comfortable going out with her. Highly recommended and will be booking with her again!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. I have taken care of different animals since I was a little girl. I have a lot of experience with large and small animals. I work full time but I am available in the evening as well as some mornings before work. I usually have open availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful cat currently, who is very spoiled at my house. We love being active outside and playing with toys at home. I am a very active person myself, which is why I enjoying walking dogs so much.
“Time and time again, Lilly has proven to be the absolute PERFECT person for taking care of my cat while I'm out of town. My cat adores and trusts Lilly. I adore and trust Lilly. Lilly's communication is spot-on, Lilly has stellar attention to detail, and Lilly went above and beyond by cleaning up cat boxes and cleaning up after my cat if he got into something or broke something. Lilly spent 16-days keeping me more at ease about travelling than I could ever imagine. If you don't select Lilly as your cat-sitter, you're doing yourself a disservice. !!!!Thank you!!!!”
About: I am trained in behavioral therapy (mental health professional) and petsit frequently. I am very familiar with animals that struggle with anxiety, special needs, and are elderly. Absolutely adore the young pups and kittens too! Your pet will get plenty of exercise and be well cared for when you are away. I work from home doing Telehealth and am able to take breaks as needed throughout the day to provide pet care for you and yours! I have two pets at home currently, a cat and a dog. A lifelong animal lover, I have been told that I have good rapport with all types and species. I can offer walks and visits at your home or office. Safety is the main priority with all animals in my care. I’m able to be away from my own pets for up to 4.5-5 hours at a time. My dog will need to be let out to use the restroom at my place in that time frame.
“We had an absolutely incredible experience with Sage, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. This was our first time using Rover, and we were honestly a bit nervous going in. Our cat, Lily, is very old and can be a little grouchy and skittish around new people, which added to our concern. From the very beginning, Sage put all of those worries at ease. To our amazement, Lily warmed up to her very quickly, something we’ve rarely seen. Her professionalism and communication were outstanding. She kept us consistently updated (daily photos and FaceTime on request), which made being away so much easier, and it was clear in every message how much she genuinely cared. Sage has an intuitive understanding of cats that’s hard to put into words… she truly is a cat whisperer. On top of that, Sage took wonderful care of our home while housesitting for over a week. We didn’t know what to expect having someone stay in our house for that long, but she was incredibly respectful and left everything in perfect condition. It felt like our home was in thoughtful, capable hands the entire time. Sage didn’t just meet our expectations, she blew them away. We would trust her again without hesitation.”
About: Worked at Horizon Veterinary Hospital, so I’m calm and capable if a crisis comes up. I genuinely love long walks and give each pet individual attention, not just a quick in-and-out. I’ve pet sat for neighbors for years, so I’ve learned how to build trust with many different pets and owners. I also have 3 cats of my own, including one I raised from just a day old, so I understand what it takes to care for pets at every stage of life. I work from home, I can often be right there with your pet in their own space, no long stretches alone! I work from home, so all I need is WiFi, meaning I can be with your pets all day long, not just for quick visits. Your dog or cat gets consistent company and attention throughout the day, not a rushed drop-in. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I treat it that way! Respectful of your space, mindful of routines, and focused on keeping things calm and familiar while you’re away. With my background at Horizon Veterinary Hospital, I know how to read pets’ body language and stress signals, so I can adjust to make sure they feel comfortable with me from day one. As a cat owner myself ( I have 3 of my own and raised one from just a day old ) I’m especially attentive to the small cues cats give when something’s off, and I bring that same watchfulness to every pet I care for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oxnard
Hillary was wonderful! We are new to the area and had 2 cats that needed care while we were out of town. She came over to meet them (and us) before the trip. She asked great questions to be sure to offer the best care. You can tell right away that she is professional, experienced and extremely caring. She cares not only for your pets but for your ability to be gone knowing that your pets are in excellent care. Thankfully, there were no issues but we felt confident that she would have handled anything that came up as if they were her own cats. She provided precise updates as well as the best photos she could get, even when one cat hid under the bed most of the time. We have zero hesitation in recommending Hillary as your next pet sitter!
Cori looked after my cat Maple for the second time while I was away, and she was fantastic. She kept me updated all along and flagged anything that needed my attention, so I wasn’t worried while I was gone. Maple doesn’t warm up to people easily, but she clearly loves Cori. Cori has become one of her favorite people. Reliable, caring, and so thoughtful. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Tai was absolutely amazing with my cats and super sweet. She played so much with my high energy kitty and chilled with my antisocial girl. She sent lots of photos and updates, and went above and beyond to cover for me an extra day when I couldn’t make it home on time. Would recommend her to anyone.
Alexis did a phenomenal job of caring for my two cats. She was accommodating of everything I asked and took great care of them. She sent plenty of updates each day to keep me posted on the status of their health and what silly shenanigans they got into. My house was as I left it, it was like I wasn't even gone. What a pleasure to work with her. I will definitely book her again in the future.
Ariela is outstanding! First she was able to come last minute, second she was able to handle the instructions of my automatic cat feeder (which can be finicky & slightly complicated) and third she came on time! My cat is also super shy but warmed up to her and came out of hiding. Ariela is great with communication, friendly and reliable. She watched my cat for 5 days. I feel very confident and comfortable leaving my pets with her for an extended period of time. I would book with her again in a heartbeat! She gets the human and paw seal of approval!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oxnard is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 317 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oxnard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 boxes. 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 socialization 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
