“Sheena took such good care of Mango. She went above and beyond most Rover hosts we have asked to take care of Mango in the past. She sent us so many videos and photos of Mango to us. Our Mango loved her kids and really enjoyed her time with them. In addition, it was a rainy day and Sheena washed and dried Mango’s sweater and also made sure Mango was dry from the rain. Would highly recommend and would book again.”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Kirsten has watched our Bernedoodle a few times now. Sadie jumps out of the car to head straight for the door, wagging her tail and wining in excitement whenever we pull up to drop her off. Kirsten is very reliable and responds quickly. She sends updates and pictures. We definitely don't feel guilty about leaving our baby home while we go play now! :-)”

About: I have been a pet owner for 18 years and have provided pet-sitting services for friends and family for the past 2 years. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including administering medications. I am also experienced in providing attentive care for senior dogs and understand the patience and extra support they often require. I currently work for the school district so I am available all summer! After 18 wonderful years of life, my dog Sugie has passed on so your little one will have my full attention I have a fully fenced back yard and a short fence in the front yard that my chihuahua used to jump through before she became a senior.
“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.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover, big, small, young and old. I’ve rescued several dogs so I know how uniquely special all dogs are. Looking to stay active incorporating my two favorite things, dogs and outdoors. I am newly retired and looking for activities to keep me sharp, mind, body and soul. I have loved dogs my whole life and most love me too. I have a secure backyard, a 12 yr old Maltese named Roscoe. Our days are pretty chill with walks to the park and car rides. If I stay in your home, just let me know what your expectations are and any routines you’d like me to follow.
“Cheryl is absolutely wonderful! She took the best care of our dog Dakota while we were out of town for 5 days. She sent many updates, photos, and videos during Dakota’s stay that put us at ease while we were on our trip. We are so glad to have found such a caring, sweet, and loving sitter for our dog. We will definitely rebook with Cheryl the next time we’re out of town!”
“Amanda and her family were great! Archie had 2 doodles and 3 kids to play with. Amanda was very responsive when we texted and sent cute pics of Archie enjoying his time with her family. He is pretty attached to us and can be nervous so we really appreciated the updates on how he was adjusting. Next time we go out of town we will definitely book with Amanda again!”
About: About 3 years ago, I moved to California specifically to live with a close friend who had just become a flight attendant to help take care of her two dogs and two cats while she was away for work. Since she traveled often, I became a big part of their everyday care… feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, keeping them company, and of course giving them lots of love. I even took them to a little trip with me to Joshua tree, which they enjoyed very much! One of her cats also had asthma, so I learned to be extra attentive to her needs and helped with taking her to vet appointments when needed. I’ve also helped other friends with house sitting, dog walking, and caring for their pets while they were away or out of town. I genuinely love animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your fur babies. I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and get plenty of love and attention while you’re away 🤍🐾 I may be new to Rover, but caring for pets has been a big part of my life for the last few years, and I’d love to care for yours too! I do work full-time in the hotel industry as a front desk supervisor, and do 8-hour shifts. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I’m available before and after work, on my days off, and for drop-ins or walks. For house sitting, I’m happy to stay overnight and care for your fur baby before and after my shift. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so we can make sure it’s the right fit for your pet! I know every fur baby has their own personality and routine, so I like to learn what makes them feel most comfortable before you leave. Whether that means a specific feeding schedule, their favorite walking route, extra playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to follow their normal routine. I’m also very respectful of your home and will always make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed, and everything is left just as I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and little updates too, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is doing well!
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Julie and Scott! I highly recommend them, and we're so grateful to have found them. We reached out for a last-minute dog sitter over the holidays for our 8-year-old small terrier mix, Zazu. Zazu can be a little bossy and defensive with other dogs, which we gave them a heads up about since they have a big dog at home. Julie and Scott did an AMAZING job integrating Zazu into their home life and making her feel comfortable with them and their sweet dog, Snacks. They sent lots of wonderful photos, videos, and updates - including videos of Zazu playing happily with Snacks! Julie and Scott are both so friendly and warm, it's no surprise that Zazu felt comfortable with them immediately. They took her on many walks and let her cuddle with them in bed to sleep at night. My wife and I joked that Zazu wasn't going to want to come home at the end of the stay. We are so relieved and excited to have found them, and will 1,000% be reaching out to them for our next dog sitting need.”
“Sage has the best time at Jessica’s house! We know she is safe and has fun with her kids, dog and even her cat now! This is the 2nd time we’ve booked with Jessica and will continue to. Thank you for the daily photos and updates!!”

From the moment Kona had her meet and greet, we already have the feeling that she will be in good hands and we were right. Noemi sent us pictures every day that gives us peace of mind. I'm sure Kona will be excited next time to have Noemi as her sitter. Thank you Noemi and family for taking care of Kona.
Daniella was sooo sweet! She was very attentive specially because it was my first time using the app and Zoey has some anxiety. was very considerate to accept meeting a day before the actual service. She kept in touch at all times and very helpful trying her best to keep her calm. Will definitely recommend anyone and to know your babies are in good hands. ❤️
Kirsten was absolutely amazing with my Baby Ozzy! She kept me updated with pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind. Ozzy looked so happy and well care for, and it was clear that he was in good hands. I truly appreciate the love and care she gave him. I highly recommend Kirsten and would definitely trust her with Ozzy again.
Wow… i don’t even know where to start! Mystique, Richard and their amazing daughter Milan welcomed our dog Cooper with open arms into their home. They were an incredibly kind family and i felt very safe with cooper in their care. They watched Cooper during our wedding weekend and went above and beyond to make sure we had a stress free weekend. they even brought cooper to our wedding ceremony AND rehearsal the night before for us. I would recommend them 100000% to anyone to watch their pups and i know cooper can’t wait for the next time we leave town so he can stay with them again! thank you thank you thank you!!
Auntie Layla, as she is known in our house, is amazing. She and her family have taken care of Finley many times, and he is so excited every time we pull up to the front of her house. His latest visit to Auntie Layla's was for two weeks when we were traveling. He became ill and Layla kept us informed from the very start, made sure he went to the vet and received the care he needed, and managed his medication as part of his follow up care. When we got back he was almost back to 100% of his spunky self. We are so grateful for Layla and her family for caring for him so beautifully and for knowing we have a place for Finley when we go away where he is loved and cared for like he would be at home. Thank you so much!!
We have a really anxious pup who is scared of strangers so we really appreciated Annette and her care! She gave daily updates along with pictures to reassure us and was patient and kind with our nervous pup. We will definitely be using her again for future stays :) Thanks again!
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!
Gretchen was wonderful! She watched our cat and dog while we backpacked the Channel Islands. She sent us updates and pictures of them while we were away, and we felt so relaxed knowing they were in a loving home. She walked our high energy husky multiple times a day, which was so great, and she gave genuine love and attention to both our girls. Very grateful for her and will definitely use her services again if we are back in the area! Thank you, again, Gretchen!
Peggy and her family were amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for a little dog. We could relax and enjoy our vacation. I know he was well cared for. We got regular daily updates with photos and sometimes videos which we enjoyed. Would definitely hope she would be availableto leave our dog with her again next time we are out of town.

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.
96% of sitters in Oxnard 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 Oxnard 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 Oxnard.
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 Oxnard. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Oxnard 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.
