About: Hello old friends and new! I am back in the sitter game. Only now, I dont have a house so I can't board pets or do daycare, but I can do house sitting and drop-ins. I Grew up with dogs & had a lot of cats too, I get along with critters better than people because they're less judgemental. I will try to give your pet the experience they need, and a new friend to love. I have been used to daily pet care of my own pets for 6 decades, and for 2 years with others. It just comes natural to me. I'm adaptable to your pet's schedule, just show me what to do on our meeting and you will get vids & pics to show all is well.
“Sabrina was wonderful with my pup. She sent frequent updates and took great care of her while I was away for the weekend. I would recommend her and will definitely use her again if needed in the future!”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”

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.
“We could not have been happier with Mallory. Before we even left for our trip, Mallory made a point of meeting with our dog a few times so that when the time came, they would already know each other. During our trip, Mallory gave frequent updates and also contacted if there were any questions. I knew our pet was in safe hands while we were away, as well as our home looking lived in. I will use Mallory again!”
“Kevin was prompt, communicative, and courteous. He was open to hearing all our instructions for our two ~60 lbs pups. One dog has mobility issues and Kevin was kind to his needs. They were well taken care of for their time with him and we would certainly rebook.”
“Best experience we have ever had. This team rocks!!! We are very sensitive about our two pups and they set our minds at ease from the jump. We will be in touch again and now can make plans without worries. 10 Stars!!! Best Edith & Manny”
“Cassie was amazing! It was our first time booking with her & she followed all instructions of care & sent daily updates with videos & pictures of our pups. She kept the house clean & respected our space. We plan to book with her for any following trips if available! 🤍”
“Ralphie had a great time hanging out with Madelina while we went away for the weekend. She gave us plenty of updates which put my mind at ease. Our home was nice and tidy when we came back. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

I do my best to keep everything consistent—from feeding and walks to their favorite cuddle spots. Whether your pet needs extra attention, quiet companionship, or lots of snuggles, I’m there to make their time without you as stress-free as possible.
“Sasha was a godsend for our dog, Fenway. Our dog is very particular with his meds, allergy needs as well as being very dog reactive but Sasha treated Fenway perfectly while we were away. We got regular updates, beautiful pet pictures, and were up to date on how he was doing with their modified indoor play. Sasha is sweet, outgoing, and intuitive with dogs so we felt safe with her immediately. Our little family will definitely hire her again as she’s one of our best dog sitters to date.”
“Well we popped her cherry for her first time dog sitting g. She was outstanding. She came to our hotel and hung out with Stash all evening. Sent pictures and Stash was very content and happy later in the evening. Not a stressed out crazed puppy. She will definitely be a great addition to the rover team!”

“Christina was the best! She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and was so excited to meet my dog. She immediately got down on the floor with him and was so sweet with him and asked lots of good questions. She sent updates and pictures while I was away and then I came home to a spotless house with cleaned sheets and towels! I would definitely hire her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxnard Shores
We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter. She was responsive and easy to reach the whole time, sent regular updates so we never had to wonder how things were going, and took great care of everything we asked — including our dogs and home. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and communicative.
We were more than happy with our experience in using Rebecca to take care of our dog, Charles. Our original plans to have someone watch him fell through (not through Rover) and we needed to find someone ASAP. We were able to meet her and our family instantly felt comfortable with her watching the house and our dog. She made a potentially stressful situation into a positive one. She was great about giving us updates and pictures. Charles loved her and we could tell he was happy with her giving him both walks and lots of cuddle time. She left the house in great shape. We would use her again without hesitation!
Beau was in excellent hands for an overnight with Layla. She handled my big chocolate Labrador teen ager with skill and care. We had great communication throughout and she made every effort to understand how Beau’s schedule runs. Her overnight stay was a success!
Jessica and John were wonderful dog sitters for Roxie. I received daily photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Roxie looked so happy and well cared for in every picture. When I returned home everything was spotless and it was clear she had been in good hands. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of her. I highly recommend Jessica and John to anyone looking for reliable caring pet sitters!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oxnard Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oxnard Shores on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,595 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oxnard Shores. 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 Shores 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 Shores 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.
Tip: 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 Shores 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
