“Bethany arrived around the same time every day and spent quality time with our Persian cat while we were away. We returned home to our pet in a good mood and was well cared for. Thank you!”
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and helping with rescue, lost, and stray animals. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m attentive to animal body language and always aim to provide calm, loving, and reliable care. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and respect I would want for my own. I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around pet-care visits. I’m available for scheduled drop-ins and will make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they need. When visiting your home, I treat your pets and your space with care and respect. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, pay attention to their behavior and body language, and make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure before leaving. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’m the sitter for you if you want someone who actually LOVES what they do. From the moment I meet your furry friend to the second we part, I take care of them as my own and prioritize their comfort and fun time! Your baby will be safe, happy, and cared for with me, and I have loyal clients who assure the same. 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; I believe in great dog-sitting care. I am punctual with meal times, love to run and play, clean up, and I love to cuddle/bond with my new little friends. I go above and beyond for my pets and their owners, and I like to get to know them as my own. I welcome new and returning clients and have earned their loyalty with consistency and dedication to my work. Hope to have you join the pack soon! 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.
“We had such a great experience with Gretchen! We were visiting from out of town, and she really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She was super thorough, very communicative, and just an all-around kind, friendly person. We always felt in the loop and confident everything was being taken care of. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, especially when you’re not local. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi there! I've been a proud and responsible dog + cat owner for over 25 years (plus snakes!), with over 15 years experience care-taking pet fish, birds, rats, hamsters, snakes, leopard geckos, frogs, turtles, and more! I'm also a wildlife biologist and small business owner of a human-bear conflict prevention start-up (see "Wild Neighbor"), as well as a previous zookeeper and animal trainer! I have 20 years of experience working with all sizes of California native wildlife and exotic mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids in zoos, nature centers, and museums. I hold a B.S. in Wildlife Management from Humboldt State University and am a graduate of the Exotic Animal Training and Management (EATM) Program at Moorpark College. I'm an avid hiker, explorer, and naturalist, and I LOVE spending time with all kinds of animals both outdoors and indoors! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) - please let me know how I can make your experience more special! I am a small business owner and work from home - while sometimes I am needed in the field, I'm grateful that my schedule is super flexible and allows me to operate my startup while also spending time with pets! I always approach my pets with love and consideration not only for their mental health, but for their physical health, as well! Treats are a must, as is access to viewing windows (to keep an eye on the outside world when I'm away), cozy spots for sleeping, fans when the weather gets warm and soooo many blankets and beds when it's chilly. Water and food bowls are cleaned daily, and walks (for the dog, at least!) are kept to a consistent morning, afternoon, and evening schedule.
“Sierra (Kora) was very attentive to our dogs and cats. We didn't have any worry while we were away. She was very caring and communicative. She also sent pictures of our dogs every visit which we appreciated!”

About: I've spent many years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I've always considered pets part of the family, and I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention.

“I highly recommend Annette! She accepted my booking request on very short notice, which was a huge help. She took great care of my three cats and was reliable, responsive, and thoughtful, sending me pictures and updates during each visit. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly book with her again.”

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!
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.
Cynthia was great!!! We were nervous about leaving our rescue dog for the first time. She was very responsive to messages and at the meet and greet asked good questions and answered any questions we had. She went above and beyond each day for both our dog and cat! She is truly one of the best pet sitters ever!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oxnard Shores is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $27 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
