About: I provide dependable, attentive care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾 I have experience with dog walking, playtime, feeding, bathing, and general care, as well as cat feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of cuddles when welcomed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and care for them the way you would. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a relaxing walk, quiet companionship, or a professional biscuit-making audience, they’ll receive patient, reliable, and loving care. 🐶🐱💕 I take scheduling and your pet’s routine seriously, and I always do my best to provide dependable, consistent care. 🐾 I work part-time most weekday mornings, but I’m available Tuesday and Thursday mornings and have flexible availability throughout the rest of the week. I’m also very flexible on weekends and holidays. For boarding, I’m happy to coordinate dates and times in advance so everything is clear and organized. You can count on me to communicate openly, arrive as scheduled, and make your pet’s care a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, are fed properly and on schedule, and are kept in a clean, comfortable environment. I also have experience with crate training and understand the importance of using crates safely and positively. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines so your furry family member feels secure, cared for, and at home while they’re with me.

About: I've cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life; dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and fish, to name a few. I raised my German Shepherd/Husky mix Misti from a puppy, handling potty training and basic commands. I also care for my senior cat, Sam, who is 12 years old! I love walks, hikes, play, nature, and enrichment. I even trained my cat to high five! Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I'm currently available full-time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings or specific timing needs. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking all in your pet's own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow client routines closely and will provide updates throughout my visits. Your home and pet will be treated with care and respect.

About: Full-time 🎉 Home All Day Hi! My name is Noemi. I grew up in a family oriented household with a family that loves animals. I’ve been taking care of them since I was 9! We’ve had dogs, pigs, reptiles, cats, ducks! They were a great way to learn responsibility. I have always brought in rescues providing them with great homes before sending them off to a forever home🤍! I have volunteered at Animal shelters to show my love unconditionally to dogs, cats, bunnies or reptiles! I have a large passion for my furry friends! I have a lot of experience with animals that have suffered with separation anxiety and medical issues. Volunteering at the animal shelters has provided me with great experience professionally and personally. I understand our furry loved ones usually have certain routines to go by. I am very accepting to different family routines! So please feel free to communicate that with me if your furry baby has a specific routine. Momentarily, I only have two dogs and a cat named nimbus! They get along great with other dogs or cats! If you would like me to keep your furry baby separate I can also provide that. My house is larger and I can keep animals separated inside the home or outside what your preference is. I am a very caring and generous person that is very loving and compassionate. I love to go above and beyond for animals especially making them feel warm and happy. IM ALWAYS AVAILABLE ☺️I currently work full time with dogs and my clients and run a doggie day care 😊 I'm always willing to accommodate with my clients schedule and what is needed :) My home has a brick wall around the yard it’s very large and tall ! I have a free space to keep your baby safe and for them to have fun! If your baby needs a crate provided I can do that as well! Any requests provided just keep me informed!

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.

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.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 6. Having my own dog was literally the dream of my life since I remember. I’ve always loved animals and have had pets my entire life, - at different times, my family had 3 dogs, 4 cats, parrots, hamsters, and even chickens. I’ve always been the go-to person in my family for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after our pets, and I truly enjoy every part of it. I love all animals, and I genuinely believe they feel my positive energy and trust in return. I’d be happy to help with pet sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking any time of day, including overnight stays. Please feel free to reach out anytime. I’m flexible throughout the day and will be glad to take care, home sitting or walking your pups, including overnight stay, please feel free to contact me. I can care for your pets in your home or spend time with them in your backyard. Unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my own home at the moment.

About: I love animals and i’ve always loved animals since I was a little girl. Any chance I got to be able to play with our dog, take him on a walk or even just to feed him I was always right there. Every morning before work I make my cat his breakfast meal (3/4 can of wet food with added water for hydration). Play with him for at least 5-10 minutes so he doesn’t feel ignored. Once coming home from work he is greeted with cuddles and play time and a treat until it’s time for his dinner meal (3/4 can of wet food with added water & Omega-3 oil). I make sure to scoop my cat’s litter box daily as to not stress him out and to keep a clean litter box. Litter changes weekly. I have always had pets growing up. Ranging from dogs, cats, frogs, turtles, fish, etc. Every pet is different so i’ve had to care for each animal in different ways. Getting to know your pets is always fun and also important in knowing how to care for them and keep them happy and comfortable. Tending to your pets needs and wants such as daily/weekly water bowl/fountain changes, learning their food preferences, toy preferences, maintaining a nice environment for them is super essential in pet care and overall happiness.

About: I started walking a neighbor/friend’s dog as a favor in 2016. She recommended me to her friends then they recommended me to theirs and so on and so on until I had the trust of 15 clients by 2021. I’ve met all kinds of doggy friends; old, young, big, small, aggressive, shy, single or multiple siblings. I’m more than willing to accommodate any special needs your friend may have. I am currently a student studying film so timing will be somewhat selective, but I still have lots of availability and will be as accommodating as possible for you and your pet friends! I cannot host at the moment but I am more than willing to house sit in a location of your choosing! Common courtesy is a must and your place will look just as you left it.

Ariana did a wonderful job taking care of our boys and went above and beyond by helping with the ants and cleaning up the grass after they used the bathroom. She was also very thoughtful about the weather and made sure they didn’t go out and walk on hot asphalt. We don’t need doggy care too often, but the next time we do, we’ll definitely check with Ariana to see if she’s available. Thank you so much, Ariana!

I was nervous to book a first time drop-in, but Allie was very reassuring. I couldn't be happier with the care my pups received! She was so attentive to the specifics I gave her — nothing was overlooked — which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. What stood out most was how attentive she was during the visit — she made sure my dogs got the attention and care they needed, not just a quick check-in. She sent adorable photos and a thoughtful update, so I knew exactly how things were going. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Highly recommend!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oxnard on Rover is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. 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 2,474 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oxnard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.

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 .

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.

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
