“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!”
“Ayni and Alfonsus made a positive impression from the meet and greet. They’ve wanted to check if Chico would get along well with another dog they had committed with. This showed me how much they care for the pet wellbeing. Chico was in great care and I received frequent updates by video and photo along with messages. They were very transparent all the time during our communications and this gave me the confidence to already plan another booking with them. Thank you Ayni and Alfonsus!”
“We were visiting Las Vegas and needed last‑minute care for our two elderly dogs, and Diane truly went above and beyond. Not only did she welcome both of our girls on short notice, she cared for them for four days during a week of extreme heat — something they wouldn’t have tolerated safely. This was our first time using Rover, and Diane made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring. She was wonderfully communicative from start to finish, sending updates and photos throughout their stay. One of our girls, Sherry, had an upset stomach, and Diane was so attentive and comforting, letting us know she was keeping a close eye on her. Her kindness allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip, knowing our dogs were in safe, loving hands. We are incredibly grateful for her care and hope to use her babysitting services again. Diane is truly a gem, and we can’t thank her enough.”
“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!”
“Erika was wonderful with my husky. She sent me pictures and updates to reassure me my dog was happy and healthy. My dog seemed very content staying with Erika and I would highly recommend her.”
“Elaine and Marty are wonderful! I travel for work and had been leaving Zoey at a camp. She would come home disheveled, tired and off her schedule. What a difference this time. Zoey was happy, spoilt with attention, ate well and came home clean, undisturbed in her schedule and happy. I felt at peace with no guilt for leaving her. Zoey is very skittish and easily frightened by noise but realized she was safe with her new BFF Elaine. Wonderful people and will definitely be using them again. Thank you Elaine & Marty♥️”
“Such a wonderful experience with Jenna! I felt so at ease leaving my dogs with her for over a week because she is super communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. She has a lovely property with lots of outdoor space for the dogs and often works from home so the dogs receive plenty of attention. I know we found a great dog sitter because my dogs often need a day or two to rest and decompress after staying with someone else and I noticed they seemed immediately settled and content when they came home. Highly recommend!”
“April and her husband are amazing! Great communication and I received quality pictures and videos! The updates made me feel at ease. I could see that Mei Mei was enjoying herself and learned that she’s a natural guard for babies?! I appreciated the attentiveness and care they gave to her. Thank you for being flexible and patient with me as I adjusted the drop off time and ended up experiencing a delay en route. 🙏🏽 I would definitely book again and have peace of mind knowing she was well taken cared of. Good energy and dog lovers for sure. Definitely worth 🐾 - pawsing and considering. 😆 Thank you again! 🌼”
“Our Cuddles stayed with Oli for two days and one night, and he looked so comfortable and at home. We’re truly grateful for the love and care she gave him. Thank you for taking such good care of our Cuddles.”
“Glenda is wonderful. It's not always easy to find people who are good with large dogs. My very big guy loves going to Glenda's place. She has plenty of space for him to run around and comfortable areas for down time too. I highly recommend her.”
“Hayden took great care of Jellybean and updated us throughout our trip with photos and videos. He has a huge yard and lots of places to explore. Definitely recommend! Thanks Hayden.”
“This was my second time booking with Christopher and once again he was awesome. He takes such good care of Mochi and always sends updates and pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind. He’s also very accommodating with my schedule changes. Mochi is always happy and relaxed when I pick him up. I really appreciate his reliability and kindness, I’ll definitely keep booking with him!”
“Mary was great with my dog. He doesn’t like everyone, who does? Lol But he did great with Mary and their dog. I couldn’t have asked for more, really. He’s very active and they let him run 2x a day plus he got to cool off in their pool. If you’re concerned about leaving your dog, choose Mary, it will make you feel good every time you go away:)”
“Fantastic dog sitters! Anna Dee & Julio were wonderful with our pup while we were out of town. They are very caring and went above and beyond to provide him with lots of walks and snuggles. We received photos and updates throughout his stay. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a loving sitter!”
“Our dog Avy had a great time with Harlan while we were on vacation! Super friendly, great communication, and gave her plenty of walks and attention to keep her happy. Will happily book again!”
“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”

Diana was amazing! She took care of Simba (Maltipoo) for little over 2 weeks while I was traveling. She sent me photos and daily updates of Simba. He came home happy and very clean. She gave him a bath and even washed his bedding. I highly recommend Diana! Thank you for taking such great care of my little Simba. We will see you soon :)
She took such amazing care of my dog! ❤️ From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in great hands. She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
We have a dog that is our whole world and we were in need of help boarding our “fur baby” for a trip we couldn’t reschedule, after we removed her from an established boarding facility when our dog suffered a brutal attack by another dog. We were petrified to leave our dog, with anyone ever again, but knew we would have to. So research began, prayers went up and then we came across Rover. After more research on sitters with Rover we came across Elaine’s and Marty’s bio. So we reached out to Elaine and Marty who seemed like a great fit for our needs. Wow! Elaine and Marty respond instantly. They were willing to have us come to their home for a meet and greet with our sweet Kaylee and we talked with them for over an hour and saw where she would stay so we could make sure the environment was safe and appropriate for her. We were still nervous, as this couple were strangers to us, but decided to take the leap to trust that they would care for our girl like she was their own. Let’s just say our dog is spoiled by us, and lacked nothing with them. We especially love that they are clearly animal lovers and that they board one dog at a time. Because we were a late board, in regard to our trip, they were still willing to take her as long as we were ok with a 24 hour overlap with another client’s little, social dog. Ours is super social too and we all (both dog’s owners and, sitter) agreed to this arrangement. When we returned to Elaine’s and Marty’s home to drop off Kaylee, as soon as they opened their door Kaylee pranced right in like she owned the place, tail wagging, and very comfortable to see her new friends again. She was so well taken care of! Elaine and Marty gave us daily updates with pictures and videos which made us so happy and helped us relax while we were away. Elaine and Marty exceeded all of our expectations! They even gave us a framed photo with two pictures of Kaylee as a thank you for letting her stay with them. We couldn’t be more pleased, have already confirmed another booking and have asked about a third. This couple is so gracious, so kind and loving, so trustworthy and thoughtful we couldn’t recommend them more highly! They were a Godsend to us and we look forward to working with them exclusively as long as they are willing and available to help us in the future. Very satisfied and happy clients, Clark & Ruth F.
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!
We are so happy that we found Sienna and Cody through Rover! Both of them were kind and caring. Sally was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. She seemed as though she enjoyed staying with the other dogs and had more energy than usual after being with her new found friends! We will definitely have our girl Sal stay with Sienna and Cody again!
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.

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.
