“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.”
About: I’m very passionate when it comes to animals and pets. I have patience, I pay close attention to detail, and have a genuine love for animals. I have experience in caring for high energy pets. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific needs each pet has. I stay consistent so pets feel comfortable and less stressed while their owners are away. Our pets are our family, they bring us the joy and love we sometimes don’t even realize we’re missing. They are just babies and should always be treated as priority!
“Tai did an amazing job watching my kitties!! She happens to be sisters with my prior Rover sitter, so it was a seamless transition :) tai was punctual, paid excellent attention to my babies and was very respectful of my space. I highly recommend her and will likely book again!”
“Bethany and Siddhartha took great care of our cat Waylon while we were away. Waylon was in great shape and clearly well cared for when we got back. Thank you so much! Would hire again.”
“This is the second time I’ve hired Hillary to watch my two cats. She does a great job giving them some play time as well as cuddles on top of feeding. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
“Shannon was so cute with my cats! She sent me pictures each time she visited them. She is responsive to any concern, and is quick to communicate if she has concerns herself. I will absolutely be rebooking her in the future, thank you Shannon for being awesome and caring for my cats like they are yours. -Erica”
“Daniella did a fantastic job with our puppy during her drop in visits! She kept us in the loop with cute pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and went above and beyond to work on training and brushing. Would highly recommend!”
“Ariana went over and beyond in taking care of our Chasey Boy, she walked him, played with him and even bathed him before we got back home. Chasey misses her and we are forever grateful ☺️”

“My husband and I highly recommend Peggy. We have 2 cats, and one is very anxious and she ALWAYS runs away when people come over… but not when Peggy came over to meet them on Friday, before we left for our trip. I was shocked when Althea didn’t bolt, and she also got down from the top level of the cat tree and sat down in the living room to observe and listen as we talked with Peggy. 1st time, ever, so it was a direct response to Peggy’s calm and friendly energy We had to attend a friend’s wedding near San Diego, and felt very confident that our “kids” were in very capable hands. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
About: We are a pet-centered family. Fur babies have been at the heart of our home for over 20 years. We've rescued dogs and cats across various stages of life, some with special needs, and loved them well into their senior years. We’re conveniently located near 101, making for an easy drop off and pickup. We provide personalized care, tailored to the specific needs of your pet. Whether it's adhering to the dietary requirements of their meals, administering medication, or modifying walks and play to accommodate any physical limitations or developmental needs. Animals of all types tend to gravitate to me. I'm patient and playful. If they just need a calm presence to cuddle with or a buddy to play fetch and get their zoomies out, I adapt to the needs of your pet. Our home is filled to the brim with a love for pets and their care. My wife leads a community for pet parents and my daughter is a future vet who makes every animal she meets her best friend and desires to rescue as many she can. I'm a retired engineer and my wife works from home. Pets are family and our schedules are adjusted accordingly to ensure they are not alone. I love nature and giving pets the opportunity to relax and play where they feel the most comfortable. We can walk the park grounds right outside our door, relax on the deck, or snuggle on the couch. We can also hop in the Jeep and go exploring if they prefer. Every pet is different and my goal is to always meet them right where they are.

You can trust that your pet and your home will be in caring and responsible hands.

We have senior dogs ourselves so unfortunately we can’t spend 24 hours with your baby but we can check in and hang out anytime.

About: With 12 years managing a nonprofit animal rescue, I bring hands-on experience in both daily care and veterinary needs. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including special needs pets—your furry family is safe with me! While house sitting, I do work Thursday–Monday and am off Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I usually head out around 6:30–7am, but I have flexibility in my schedule and can sometimes work from home. I make sure all pets are well cared for with plenty of attention, exercise, and love before and after my workday. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own home. I do my best to keep everything consistent—from feeding and walks to their favorite cuddle spots. Whether your pet needs extra attention, quiet companionship, or lots of snuggles, I’m there to make their time without you as stress-free as possible.
About: From a young age I would house sit for neighbors and would take care of their pets, whilst they were on vacation. I've taken care of older dogs that had special needs as well. I have been walking dogs for the past 5 years as a hobby, and as a way to stay healthy. When my friend's shoulder was dislocated I walked his Grey Wolf/Husky mix for him while he recovered. I am available most days, I have full availability on weekends, and late nights (10-11pm) all week for those dogs whom prefer cooler temperature walks. I am unable to host your dog at my home currently. I'm experienced in giving older dogs their medications including pills and Insulin. I can house sit and watch your pets while you are at work, on vacation, or even if it's just date night.
“Sarah took excellent care of my dog. She gave us so much peace of mind on our trip and it was honestly like we never left. Our dog obviously had a wonderful few days of drop in care with Sarah and we will be contacting her again in the future for more care. Thank you, Sarah!”
About: When I was 8, my family got a Shih Tzu pup that I learned so much from over his 15 years of life. Because of the tight-knit bond I had with my Shih Tzu, I'm most familiar with the needs of small/toy breeds like grooming, exercise, and senior health issues. I recently volunteered at the county animal shelter, where I was responsible for providing dogs with enrichment and exercise. As part of the training, I became familiar with interpreting and understanding dog behaviors (regardless of sex/breed), like adjusting to their comfort levels, respecting their boundaries, and reading their body language to ensure everyone's safety (including theirs). Ultimately, I can assure you that your buddies will be cared for like they’re family! I'm currently on medical leave from both college and work, so I'm usually at home all day! This is perfect if you have a cuddly or anxious pet, because I'll have plenty of time to spend with them (napping, cuddling, playing, etc). When it comes to any services offered, I want to make sure that your pets and I are safe at all times. Aside from safety, their comfort is very important to me. I'll do my absolute best to make sure they feel safe and comfortable under my care. I always make sure to introduce myself slowly and will respect your friend’s need for space at any point, especially if they're shy. I usually turn the area under my desk into a mini fort for them with their blanket and other comfort items like beds or toys. This usually helps them have a safe and comfortable space to retreat to if they ever get startled or overstimulated. I've learned to give pets ample time to acclimate to the new person and environment before introducing them to anyone else, especially if they're known to be shy. I do my absolute best to go at their pace and comfort level, not mine.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oxnard
We are so grateful to have found Hillary as our pet sitter. She is conscientious, responsible, and our pets like her! She took excellent care of our temperamental cat and Italian Greyhounds. She also was able to manage three pets during each visit, which can be challenging given we have large Rover pens that need to be cleaned and attended to during each visit. She also managed a medication requirement for our senior cat and special feeding instructions for our senior dog. We highly recommend Hilary!
Tai did an amazing job watching my kitties!! She happens to be sisters with my prior Rover sitter, so it was a seamless transition :) tai was punctual, paid excellent attention to my babies and was very respectful of my space. I highly recommend her and will likely book again!
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!
Cori was amazing! She looked after my cat, Maple, for two weeks and did such a great job. She visited regularly, played with Maple, and kept her happy and comfortable the whole time. She even took care of my houseplants without me asking. I totally recommend Cori and will definitely book her again in the future.

As of August 2026, there are 1,106 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 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.

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 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.
