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!

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

About: I've interned at an animal hospital, walked family members dogs, house sat for friend's pets, and genuinely love animals. I've learned animal behavior and know how to approach a new dog so they feel comfortable around me. I'm always learning of new ways to care for my own pets, and this care extends onto your loved dog! I am attending community college part-time so I have plenty of time to be there for your pets. :) I am only unavailable Mondays and Wednesdays. I have experience in raising my own dogs and completed a veterinary assistant program to learn how to care, handle and approach dogs who need that extra patience. I understand every pet has their own personality and may need time to become comfortable around a new person. I carry plenty of disposable bags, water bottles, small collapsible bowl for my dog to drink at any moment during the walk, treats (with consideration of specific dietary needs) and toys!

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 have been raised as an animal lover. I’ve grown up with pet(s) my entire life. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots, parakeets, guinea pigs, fish, and iguanas. It’s safe to say I’ve lived in the jungle. I started to professionally care for pets in 2022 while I was in college while housesitting, the most up to three dogs over the course of 5 days. Since then, almost every time, I have supervised and cared for pets simultaneously while house sitting. I would also babysit (6mo-5yrs old) while also caring for the dogs/cats at most to 8 hours. In total, I have provided palliative care for 4 senior dogs now, ensuring that the ends of their days are full of love, care, and reassurance. I also have experience caring for a dog with anxiety and administering medications when instructed to. I’m currently in school but working part-time, so I have extra time to spend with your furry baby! I am usually free in the mornings everyday before 3PM, then anytime after 6PM on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am personally a nanny / pet sitter who believes in appreciating the space but leaving no trace when it comes to caring for an animal in the owner’s home. I understand the level of trust that is given to me to care for your animal let alone being with your residence, so I do take that very seriously.

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: In my early 20s I was responsible for pet-sitting for my aunt who had 3 full grown cats. At one point, a small litter kittens was also thrown into the mix. I enjoyed every minute of cuddling and playing with those cats. Aside from that, I was sole pet-sitter for my own pets whenever my parents went out of town. We had a chow chow and a husky who were polar opposites of one another, but got along perfectly well and both enjoyed our lazy days at home while mom and dad were away. Daily walks and outside play time were extremely important for bonding, exercise (for me and the dogs), and socializing with some of the neighborhood dogs. I have spent many hours also pet sitting for close friends, including senior aged dogs and cats. Now I am a proud cat mom of 2 that offers lots of love and care that will most certainly extend to your fur babies as well. I work full-time, but always make time to care for fur babies while their parents are away and ensure they are getting the proper love, attention, and care during my visits. I adhere to all instructions provided when caring for a pet. Your pet’s safety and well-being is my number one priority while I am in your home.

About: We’ve taken care of dogs & cats since we were young. We would house sit for friends and family. We’ve grown up around pets all our lives and we will treat your babies like our own! Thomas works night shifts and is able to come sit or check in on your fur baby during the day. Veronica works during the day and is able to check in during the evening. 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. We can take care of your babies at your homes with walks, letting them outside in the back yard whatever their needs may be we have handled it before.

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: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I've spent my life caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own, and although my beloved dogs have passed, my love for animals has never changed. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'll provide the same patience, affection, and dependable care that I'd want for my own pets. Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a child. I currently care for my cats and have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I enjoy providing playtime, affection, and dependable care so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I'm a full-time special education teacher, and my husband is also a lifelong animal lover who is home during the day. While I will always be your pet's primary caregiver and point of contact, having another caring adult in the home means your pet will enjoy extra companionship, attention, and a safe, loving environment. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I have a fully fenced front and backyard, giving dogs plenty of space to play and explore safely under supervision. I also have a nearby park, perfect for walks and extra exercise. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

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.

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!

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 for Pet Sitting in Oxnard on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,483 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oxnard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oxnard stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oxnard. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
