“Michael is great! Very communicative, reliable and thorough. He makes sure I come back to a clean litter and even cleaned up cat vomit - sorry Micheal. I appreciate your care and know they are in good hands with you when I'm out of town.”
“Angela goes above and beyond every time she drops in to check on Trygg. I’m so appreciative of the updates and photos, and the peace of mind knowing that he is being cared for so well when I’m away.”
“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Brittany is the only dog sitter so far who has been able to get my very anxious Husky to go for a walk. That speaks volumes to the kindness, patience, and love that she has for animals. I am so impressed and grateful to finally have found someone that I can trust if we have to go away. She’s the best!”
“Perry has been an Amazing help to keep our puppy exercised while we have a crazy summer. He’s been very attentive to last minute requests and helping on long and short notice. Whether it’s a good brisk walk or just hanging out to let our puppy get out of his crate and use the bathroom, we can confidently leave home for extended hours and know our puppy is in good hand.”
About: I have had a pet dog or cat ever since I was born. I have had experience with pets at a variety of ages, including very young, and super seniors, such as 20. Depending on the times that you may need sitting, I am available to come early in the morning, feed to your specifications, and do a variety of other pet caring chores. If your pet requires lots of play to get energy out, that is something I more more than happy to do. I have helped care for a variety of age groups and energies. Theres a big difference in the work required for an active puppy, and an aging friend.
“There’s not enough nice things to say about Trisha. She was so good to our dog. Gave her much needed love and attention. It’s not easy leaving your pets behind but when you can count on people like her to love on yours it makes it a lot easier! Highly recommend!!”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs having owned both up until recently. I have been a part-time pet sitter for a total of two years. This job is a great fit for me as I have some time before I switch military branches. Since I no longer own cats or dogs, pet-sitting is the perfect fit for me with my experience. I have a clean home and I’m always up to go for a walk or run with your pet! I proactively engage with your pet depending on his or her needs and always make sure to ask owners if there is anything I can do to help ensure the perfect environment for your pet!
About: I’ve had the pleasure a working in a veterinary hospital for 3 years and have lots of experience when it comes to animal care and health. I have one dog, two outdoor cats, and a horse! I am highly skilled in feeding plans, walking, basic training, administering medication, senior dog care, fluid administration, arthritic support, etc. I have also fostered countless dogs and cats with health issues or just needing love! I love working with animals and I’m currently in college on a Pre-Vet pathway! On the weekends I am fully free for boarding at my house, along with extended overnight and daytime stays due to my free time! As of right now I have a part time internship over the summer. This just means that during my work week the animals receiving care will have a period of time during the day where I cannot see them. This being said Monday-Friday I am available early in the mornings and after 3pm through the duration of the night. When caring for your pet their safety and happiness come first! I want to make sure you have full trust that your pet is being taken care of the way you want them to be! If your animal is staying at my house I have a fully fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. I have one Australian shepherd who is very friendly and loves company. I also have two outdoor cats who get along with other animals, but can also be put in a safe place inside if the owner prefers that. I have a hard time leaving my pets because I want to make sure they are being cared for above and beyond the bar minimum. With my experience I take my work very seriously and will treat them as one of my own!
About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.
About: I’ve had pets all my life and can’t wait to take care of your cuties . Animals are an important part of our lives and they deserve the world Pets are a big part of my routine! I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I enjoy keeping a consistent schedule to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I love my pets so much ! And I would take care of your pets like mine. I love animals and would love to hangout with them
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10, experience sitting for friends and neighbors. I have had 1 tortoise, 3 cats, 3 dogs, and a lovely bearded dragon. I can handle big and small pets, and love them all! I have a remote and flexible job, so house sitting is easy for me, as is daily drop-ins if you just need your pet let out/walked for a bit. I care for all pets as if they were my own, I fall in love with every pet I meet, and do everything to make them happy and comfortable <3 I will send you photos and videos of your pet!
About: I'm excited to spend time with your dog! From walking, playing, and cuddling, to feeding, watering, and bathing, I'm your answer to caring for your furry friend while you're at work, working late, or spending the weekend out-of-town! I have had two of my own dogs, Sedona, a red dachshund-chihuahua mix, and Buddy, a cream Chihuahua-terrier mix, for the past 12 years, and enjoy them so much! Two cats, Marco and Lucy, also share my home, along with two humans, my partner of 13 years and our teenage son. Our dogs are playful, silly, and love snuggles, and have taught me so much about being a dog mom! Our cat Marco is in his senior years and prefers lounging on our son's bed. Lucy is a two-year-old with a lot of energy, who can often be found playing in her cat tree. I'm passionate about providing the best care to dogs and cats, and yours are no exception - I'll treat your best friends like family. I'm available for dog walks and "drop-ins" in the evenings as well as all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I'm happy to pet-sit as well, and from Friday through Sunday I'll be with your dog or cat full-time in your home. While I do have to work Monday-Thursday, I'm happy to stay with your furry pal in the evenings. I want you to be happy, comfortable, and at ease while you're away, just as I would want to be! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends.

Super appreciate Brittany, she steps in to save the day when other sitters cancel last minute, she communicates every step of the way even when not hearing from me, sticks around to see that my avoidant cats get a little attention, and just really cares. Thanks again Brittany!
Kendall is absolutely awesome! From the amazing meet and greet to the special care he gave both of my ragdoll‘s Raja and Bleu while I was out of town was top-notch. I never had to worry his communication was thorough and I truly appreciated it. My girls were safe and I definitely will use Kendall for my next out of town trip. Thank you so much.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thousand Oaks. On Rover:

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 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.
