“Once again, Siobhan did an outstanding job caring for my Penny girl. I love getting away knowing she's in great hands and that I'll get her back well loved and cared for. thanks!”
“Alice was great! She agreed to meet the dogs ahead of the stay to make sure they got along with the other dogs and handled them all with care. She is very responsive to messages and was understanding with a delay in the drop off. The dogs were tired and happy when we picked them up!”
About: My dogs are some of my best friends! They bring me such joy and teach me how to be a better human being each and every day. And dog kisses rock btw! I have rescued, raised and trained many dogs over the past 30 years. I enjoy being in the company of dogs at all times. I am home alot so I get to play with, excercise and care for my dogs. Caring for dogs is one of my passions and is a noble purpose in life. It is an honor for me to share my love of dogs with your dog(s)! They will love it here in my home and yard, which is connected to a huge greenbelt so they can run and play! I hope your doggy can have a sleepover soon! I am a dog lover, pure and simple! Dogs are the most amazing animals! I enjoy taking care of all sizes and breeds and I especially love getting to know all their different personalities. Your pups will get my full attention with lots of exercise if that is what they require. Senior dogs can be separated from any active dogs if they are less likely to want to play. And most importantly, they will gets lots of love and attention. I have a securely fenced yard with a big area to run and play in which also has lots of shade, a kiddie pool to splash in and soft beds to lounge on.
“My cat is always skittish at the beginning of boarding or any routine changes, but I could see how content and playful she looked in the photos and videos Cayley sent. I think she enjoyed the small family environment and was given everything she needed. Thank you for taking in Smoke when other plans didn't work out! We're glad to expand her circle of caregivers.”
“This was our second time boarding with Chris, and once again, he exceeded expectation…this time for two weeks! We couldn’t be happier with the attention our Frenchie received while staying with him. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he felt completely at ease and right at home. He didn’t even say goodbye before running right inside. Chris maintained our pup’s daily routine…from daily walks and playing soccer at the park, to evening wrestling matches. The regular updates and pics were awesome! We are 100% committed to boarding with Chris going forward and can’t recommend him enough to fellow pet parents looking for someone who treats your dog like family.”
“Harlan was a terrific sitter and took wonderful care of our dog for nearly three weeks. We loved getting regular updates and texts. When we picked our dog up, he seemed happy and well cared for. Thank you, Harlan!”
“We had never left our dog with someone we didn't know before. Anna and her boyfriend came by to meet us and our dog to help ease our concerns and start to build trust. They watched our dog for a week while we were out of the country and it went great. We would get updates and pictures, quick response when needed, and made our pup feel right at home. We will definitely use Anna again when we need someone to care for our kiddo.”
“Thea was great match for both of my dogs, from the beginning, I really loved the idea of the meet & great, it is a peace of mind knowing that you don’t have to worry about the actual day! I would definitely rebook with her, for the near future.”
“Nicky was so easy to communicate with and included pickup/drop off in her rate which was incredibly convenient as we were in town at a hotel for a wedding. She is the first rover we’ve used who immediately sent us photos and updates on how our pup was settling in. I never had to ask or wonder because she was so proactive! Would definitely book with Nicky again!”
“Karen was amazing with our dog! We don’t leave her with sitters often, but right away she felt comfortable and at home with Karen. We received lots of pictures and updates and felt at ease throughout our trip.”
“Cassandra was amazing! She treated my baby so well and she loved her cats who were also friendly and playful. She provided me photo updates daily and made sure I felt comfortable leaving Gomi with her. Would love to have Cassandra watch her again in the future! :)”
“Bonbon looked very happy with his stay. He came back tired from all the playing with Lexi (owners pup). Fast and easy communication with Stephanie and Jennifer.”
“I’m quite convinced that my baby misses Stephanie, her wonderful family and the amazing time he had with them? Thank you so very much for taking such great care of sirius; from the daily updates to the amazing photos and your willingness to be flexible at the last minute ?? Looking forward to doing it again!”
“Chase was absolutely wonderful and communicative. He sent many photo and video updates for my dog Onyx throughout his stay. His home is neat and tidy and he provides a calm environment for your animals to relax and enjoy. Will definitely be booking chase again the next time we are away. 😊”
About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.

What a blessing to have found Hayden! The updates with photos and video was so soothing. Our fur baby was so well taken care of during his stay. The entire experience exceeded my expectations and we definitely feel comfortable that we will be a repeat client. Leaving my love doodle in his care was definitely the best decision of our trip!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience! Diana took such amazing care of Summer and treated her with so much love and attention. I especially appreciated the pictures and videos she sent throughout the stay. It was so nice to receive updates and see how happy and comfortable Summer was. It gave me great peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and attentive to care for their furry family member. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Summer!!
Fantastic sitter! Papi loved staying with a Kenan and his family! They are very kind and friendly people who take care of animals as part of their small business and side hustle. I felt at so much ease having my pup stay here, as Kenan was very active about keeping me up to date on how Papi was doing and sending me pictures and videos. I was nervous because my dog can show some aggression with barking and biting in some instances. Although he is small, it makes some people anxious. But Kenan knew how to handle him and had no problem watching him. I will for sure book with them again should I need a sitter in the future! Thanks Kenan & family!
Rajarshi was fantastic with watching both of our dogs. I could tell when I picked them up they had been well taken care of. When I got them home they were content and happy. Rajarishi kept me informed during the day and was so kind when I first met him. If anyone is wanting a very very good dog sitter I whole hearted endorse Rajarishi.
We’re so grateful for all the love and care you gave our two dogs! Thank you for the daily updates and for paying such close attention to their feeding and walk schedules. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely rebook with you in the future. Thanks again, Sara!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Thousand Oaks can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thousand Oaks home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Thousand Oaks.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Thousand Oaks sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
