“Veronica and Thomas were awesome! They took such great care of our three fur babies and were so sweet and attentive, especially with our beagle boy. They kept us updated throughout the weekend, and it was such a relief knowing everyone was in good hands while we were away.”

About: We’re a dog-loving household based who recently relocated to Ventura, we settled into a cozy ground-floor one-bedroom in a super walkable neighborhood near the college—perfect for easy strolls and outdoor time. Our pup Momo is now 4 years old, friendly, playful, and loves having new companions around. We have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and we truly treat every pet like part of the family. I work remotely most of the week (in-office just 2 days), so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My husband and I share pet care responsibilities, which means flexible availability and consistent care every day of the week. We enjoy getting outside—whether it’s neighborhood walks, beach time, or weekend hikes—and we’re happy to include your dog in those adventures if it fits their routine and energy level. At home, we offer a safe, calm environment with lots of love, playtime, and structure. For care in your home, we’re attentive to your pet’s established routine and preferences, and can provide reliable visits throughout the day and week. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I work from home most of the week, so I’m around for regular walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We build our daily schedule around making sure our guests get plenty of exercise, attention, and engagement. My husband and I share responsibilities, so your pet will have consistent care and companionship every day of the week. Safety and trust are our top priorities. In our home, we provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and rest. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. Walks are always on-leash, and we’re mindful of safe routes in our neighborhood. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow your routines and preferences closely—from feeding schedules to exercise, medications, and any special instructions. We’re respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. Communication is key for us, so we’re happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi! My name is Michelle, and caring for animals has been a big part of my life for many years. I’ve been providing professional pet sitting and dog walking services throughout Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties since 2009 through my own pet sitting business. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I make it a priority to treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m very reliable, attentive, and respectful of both pets and homes. Many of my clients have trusted me with their animals and houses for years because they know I take my responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable with large and strong dogs, multiple pets, administering medications if needed, and maintaining regular routines that keep pets happy and stress-free. Outside of pet care, I enjoy being active outdoors, so walks on neighborhood paths or local beaches are something I truly enjoy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have full availability to dedicate my time to caring for pets. This allows me to be flexible with scheduling and provide consistent attention for walks, visits, feeding routines, and playtime. I genuinely enjoy structuring my day around animals’ needs and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m not currently able to host pets in my home, but I’m happy to provide care in your home where your pets feel most comfortable. I focus on maintaining their normal routine with feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“I have never used a service like this, where someone I don't know stays in my house and watches my dog when I'm gone. But when none of my regular options were available, I went on Rover to check it out. Sabrina was one of the first people I looked at and something told me to contact her. When I met her before her actual stay, I knew she would take good care of my dog and she did! She sent me updates and pictures and was very communicative and responsive to me. My house looked exactly as I left it-you wouldn't even know she was there. Overall, I was really impressed with Sabrina and know that my dog was in good hands. I'll definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I’m the sitter for you if you want someone who actually LOVES what they do. 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, because I actually like it. I’m great at administering medicine, feeding on a schedule, training, cleaning up their mess, and love to be active with those furry pals. 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.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for the past 7 years, and for the last 2 years I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter. Through this, I’ve had the chance to work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy! I work a 9–5 as an engineer, but outside of those hours my schedule is very flexible. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and all weekend. I live in a safe, gated community, which gives pets an extra layer of security when they’re with me. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always make their safety my top priority—keeping a close eye on them during walks, making sure leashes and harnesses are secure, and giving them a comfortable, stress-free environment.

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!

“Alynette has been such a Godsend for us! We have a sweet but high maintenance boy that is anxious, aggressive and also has many health issues (which call for lots of feedings and meds thru out the day). She did an amazing job caring for him exactly as we would and in the many photos we received while we were away, we could see he was a very happy boy. In addition, she saved us by extending her stay w/no notice when we got stuck in Florida for several days due to Hurricane Ian. We look forward to booking her again and am sure Jack will miss her terribly once we return. ❤️”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a child. I had two senior dogs of my own that I have had since they were both puppies. Two older cats and one kitten have made it into our lives. I used to work at a doggy daycare center where I would watch, feed, and bathe any dog there. I currently work at a vet clinic and can administer any medications necessary for your pets health. I currently work full-time at a vet clinic in Ventura. I work from 7:40am to 5pm. I can do boarding and sitting any day of the week as long as you give me a few days notice. For walk-ins and drop-ins, I am also available in the morning before 7am and after 5pm. If you reside in Ventura I can provide a midday drop in or walk as well. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for your fur babies to roam around. If your pet needs any kind of medication or any special care, I will be more than happy to be able to do that for you while you are away.

Another amazing visit with Allison! 🐶💙 I had to head to Santa Monica early for business, and she spent four hours with Bentley, including feeding him his morning meal, taking him on two walks, and just hanging out and keeping him company. I absolutely love how happy Bentley always looks after spending time with her. I came home to one very happy and very tired 😂 pup, which tells me he had a GREAT day! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s well cared for when I’m away. Allison has definitely become one of our go-to people for Bentley, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Oxnard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Oxnard on Rover is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $82 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 1,725 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oxnard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Oxnard walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Oxnard maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oxnard choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 , 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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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 .

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.
