“Brittany has been amazing with my pup who has some separation anxiety. He gets excited when he realizes where we are headed, he practically busts the door down to get in!”
“Cooper was extremely well taken care of. Diana went above and beyond. He had walks, companionship and some personal care. My first time using Diana but it won’t be my last time. Thank you Diana for taking such great care of Coop.”
“Just the most lovely family! They took such good care of my pup while I was away. I highly recommend them! Thanks so much for your patience and kindness with my pup.”
“Would 100% rebook with Siobhan! Took incredible care of my pug, was super quick to respond and sent me updates so I didn’t worry once. Would give 10 stars if it let me!”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Alice was wonderful to work with! She took great care of everything and kept me updated throughout the entire time. She regularly sent photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind and showed how thoughtful and caring she is. She was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Alice and would definitely work with her again!”
“Oli is wonderful. She really enjoys animals. My older dog, 16+ was comfortable with her immediately. She has a sweet small dog who is very friendly. She sends lots of pictures and my doggie will pose for her and he normally does not like pictures. Oli is very responsive to text messages and communicates well. He has been there a few times and I look forward to more visits in the future. I recommend 100%.”
“Elaine and Marty are wonderful! They were so accommodating and patient. Their home, backyard, and neighborhood couldn't have been more perfect. I received updates & photos throughout my time away, and truly felt that my babies were in great care. I hope they let us come back - I don't want to use anyone else :) Thank you both so much!”
“Erika was fantastic! She was willing to take on a mischievous puppy when no one else wanted her. She took her on outings and had faith in her. I believe Marley came home better behaved. I will definitely use Erika again. Plus she was super responsive whenever we contacted her.”
About: I have been caring for pets for decades and understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you are away. I care for only one visiting dog at a time in my home, which allows me to provide highly personalized and attentive care for your small to mid-sized dog. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and typically only for up to 90 minutes if I attend a yoga class or run a quick errand. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication. I am patient, observant, and happy to follow your dog’s established routines so they feel as relaxed and secure as possible. My apartment community feels like a small park, with plenty of grassy areas for walks and exploration. We are also about a mile from Triunfo Canyon Park, which we visit often when the weather permits. My own dog, Chadwick, is a calm and friendly Chihuahua who enjoys sharing his home and cozy resting spots with visiting friends. My goal is to give your dog a peaceful, loving home-away-from-home experience with plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already plan my days around caring for my own small dog, Chadwick. I am home most of the day and can provide regular walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to relax. Dogs are typically never left alone for more than about 90 minutes if I attend a yoga class or run a quick errand. I also keep my schedule flexible while hosting a dog so I can follow their usual feeding, medication, walking, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I live alone in a first-floor apartment and take full responsibility for every pet in my care. Because I welcome only one visiting dog at a time, I am able to give them close supervision and personalized attention throughout their stay. My apartment has a balcony with comfortable outdoor seating where the dogs and I can relax together. Dogs are never allowed on the balcony or outside unattended, and I always accompany them when entering or leaving the apartment. Just outside my door are grassy hills, walking paths, and plenty of areas to explore throughout my apartment community. I keep dogs safely leashed outdoors and follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements, and household routines. My goal is to provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can feel comfortable and cared for while you are away.
“Julia was incredible on our 1-week vacation away from our babies. She sent daily updates with pictures and I could tell our 2 dogs where loved and well-taken care of with her. Our dog Maggie was recovering from an ear infection and hates having ear drops put it, but Julia took on a the challenge and gave our stubborn girl her medicine. Also, I made a mistake on our booking time and Julia was kind and understanding about it. I hope Julia is available next time we need a sitter. She is a true gem!”
“Jenna is so great. My dog seemed to have had a great time with her. Her home is very warm and inviting and my dog was very comfortable. Definitely will be booking her again! Thanks!”
“We could not have asked for a better family to care for our dog, Cody. They treated him as if he were part of their own family, and even though we only asked for weekend sitting, they went above and beyond by playing with him and making sure he had the best time. We could tell our fur boy had so much fun—he came home happy and tired, sleeping early from all the excitement. They were also incredibly responsive every time we checked in. We are truly grateful for their kindness, care, and genuine love for Cody. Thank you so much.”
“Hayden did a wonderful job taking care of Bailey for a whole month. Bailey was happy, safe, and well-fed the entire time. Hayden sent photo updates and made Bailey feel completely at home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog boarder. Thank you Hayden!”
“Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter for our dog. She takes very good care of her and communicates with us every day our dog is with her. She truly loves the pets that she cares for”
“Harlan was awesome! We have two very needy Frenchies and he made sure to accommodate all of their particular needs. He texted us pictures regularly which helped ease our anxiety of leaving our fur babies. He is the nicest guy and I can tell my pups really enjoyed being with him and felt really comfortable leaving them in his care! Thanks Harlan for all the TLC you gave them while we were away!”
“Cassandra was amazing with our pup. She provided great communication, updates, and made sure she was safe and well cared for. Cassandra provided us with reassurance and happily took on the energy and care for a 6 month old puppy”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Thousand Oaks is $63

Elaine and Marty are fabulous!!! They are kind and loving. When I leave Luna in their care I miss her but don't worry about her, I know she is being incredibly cared for. Luna loves going to their house when she realizes we are pulling up to their place she gets so excited. They have watched Luna many times now and I would highly recommend them.
Hayden did a wonderful job taking care of Bailey for a whole month. Bailey was happy, safe, and well-fed the entire time. Hayden sent photo updates and made Bailey feel completely at home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog boarder. Thank you Hayden!
Alice is amazing! She took great care of our 100 pound chocolate lab. He came home happy and definitely missed his play time with Mishka and his other friends. 😊. She sent us videos and pictures daily and we felt like she genuinely cared for our boy. Highly recommend Alice and will definitely book her for our next trip without our beloved pup!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Thousand Oaks on Rover is $64.2 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,774 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Thousand Oaks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Thousand Oaks sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Thousand Oaks landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
