“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.”
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.
“Ariana was the best dog sitter I could’ve asked for. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dog. I came home to a happy, well-taken care of pup. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 12 years. I’ve raised my own Norfolk Terrier from a young age into his senior years, which has given me experience across every stage of a dog’s life. We’ve always loved going on walks together—when he was younger, I would take him to new neighborhoods and the beach for fun and stimulation. Now that he’s older, I’ve taken on a more attentive caregiving role. I manage his daily medications, keep up with frequent vet visits, and adjust his routine to match his needs, including shorter, slower walks around our neighborhood. Caring for him has taught me patience, awareness, and how to prioritize a dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness. I’ve also had experience with high-energy dogs. During college, I lived with a 1-year-old Australian Shepherd, where I regularly helped with walks and playtime—lots of tug-of-war, fetch, and keeping up with his energy. It gave me a great balance of experience with both calm senior dogs and active, playful ones. Whether your dog needs a relaxed walk, extra patience, or lots of play and energy, I’m confident in adapting to their personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited every time we’re together. I currently work weekdays during the day at a behavioral clinic, but I am available for dog walking and pet care services after 4:00 PM on weekdays. I also have full availability on weekends and can accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day. I’m happy to be flexible within those timeframes to best meet your pet’s needs and routine. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting services, which means I care for pets in the comfort and safety of their own environment. I do not provide boarding in my own home due to my own dog’s health needs. When caring for your pet, I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I closely follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, and any specific care requirements. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make sure their routine is maintained as closely as possible. During walks, I always use a leash and carry waste bags at all times to ensure cleanliness and responsible care. I stay attentive to surroundings to keep your dog safe and comfortable throughout the walk. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and affection—making sure they feel secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I’m committed to building trust with both pets and owners through reliable and respectful care.
“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!”

“Carol was the best dog sitter I have ever had. Dogs were so well taken care of, we were really able to really relax on our vacation. Definitely would love to have her take care of my two fur babies again.”
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.
“Lana was a trooper and very understanding when I had issues completing our meet and greet, which I appreciated. She took good care of the cats and double checked with me that the fountain was alright because it doesn't run constantly (it is motion-activated). Overall, I would recommend Lana; she was nice, responsive, and understanding.”
“Victoria was absolutely wonderful! She came to meet our 3 cats prior to our trip and was able to connect with all of them, even our very shy Siamese girl. She sent us so many great photos and really seemed to enjoy her time with our babies. I would highly recommend her!”
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.
“There are not enough stars to rate Alex for his incredible service. Alex was extremely punctual, professional and above all caring and kind to both of our dogs. The thing that stood out to me the most was that he actually took the time to play with my dogs during the visits, many people just feed and leave but he made sure they were loved on and tired by the end of the visit. He was also extremely communicative and reassuring that our pups were in great hands. I can’t recommend Alex enough, he is a great guy and an awesome sitter. Our dogs love him already, we will be using him again!”

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: I love playing with dogs, cuddling & making dogs smile. I’ve raised Nala since she was 6 weeks old and now she is 5 years old. I like training , teaching them to sit, lay down, roll over and maybe even trick training, like giving paw, and spin. I have two energized dogs that keep me on my feet, that I own I care for Nala and king, but I also work from home. I will make sure your dog is really cared for, feeding and playing with them, and if they need any medication that needs to be administered.

“This was our first time using Rover and Layla did a great job! Layla stopped in to check-in on our cat Mr. Chevy while we were away and updated us daily. Layla is reliable and a good communicator. Mr. Chevy seemed very pleased!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxnard
Hillary was wonderful! We are new to the area and had 2 cats that needed care while we were out of town. She came over to meet them (and us) before the trip. She asked great questions to be sure to offer the best care. You can tell right away that she is professional, experienced and extremely caring. She cares not only for your pets but for your ability to be gone knowing that your pets are in excellent care. Thankfully, there were no issues but we felt confident that she would have handled anything that came up as if they were her own cats. She provided precise updates as well as the best photos she could get, even when one cat hid under the bed most of the time. We have zero hesitation in recommending Hillary as your next pet sitter!
Cori looked after my cat Maple for the second time while I was away, and she was fantastic. She kept me updated all along and flagged anything that needed my attention, so I wasn’t worried while I was gone. Maple doesn’t warm up to people easily, but she clearly loves Cori. Cori has become one of her favorite people. Reliable, caring, and so thoughtful. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
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!
Tai was absolutely amazing with my cats and super sweet. She played so much with my high energy kitty and chilled with my antisocial girl. She sent lots of photos and updates, and went above and beyond to cover for me an extra day when I couldn’t make it home on time. Would recommend her to anyone.
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.
Nykie was incredibly reliable, communicative, and thoughtful the entire visits. I received frequent updates, photos that showed just how comfortable, happy, and well-loved my puppy was. I highly recommend Nykie to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. I will absolutely be booking again!
Dianne has been an incredible help with my dog! She is consistently punctual, highly responsive, and communicates timely throughout the process. Most importantly, she brings a fantastic positive energy that my four-legged friends absolutely love. She is incredibly easy to work with, and we are so pleased to have her support. I would highly recommend Dianne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oxnard is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 2,478 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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
