“Ocean had such a great stay while I was away! I got tons of videos, photos, and updates throughout my trip, and she looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. She ate well, slept well, and clearly had an absolute blast. She came home completely exhausted from all the fun, which is always a great sign! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well taken care of while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Brittany took great care of our dogs. One takes meds, and the other is super anxious. Both dogs were well cared for. Brittany walked them and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Highly recommended.”
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.
“Siobhan did such an amazing job taking good care of our two puppies! She was great at giving us updates and pictures and our dogs were very happy with her in her home. I highly recommend her!”
“We could not be more thrilled with April and her care for our Lulu. Everything about our experience with April exceeded my expectations in every way. She is kind, warm, and easy to talk with, while being professional and clear. She sent us tons of photos of Lulu throughout the day and it was clear April treated our Lulu like a member of the family. I could not be more pleased with April’s attention to detail but also just her overall demeanor. I would feel very at peace leaving our Lulu in her care going forward!! She is the best!!!”
“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.”
“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ashley took amazing care of our Dash! He had tons of play time with the other dogs that stayed with her and her own. She kept us informed and up to date on how much fun Dash was having and sent us plenty of pictures of him while we were on vacation and we could see he was in great hands! We loved that he also had a big yard to play in and a nice house to feel comfortable in. Dash will be happy to stay here again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cassandra is amazing. She graciously watched our big, hyper late stage puppy for 9 nights. She sent updates and pictures every day and was extremely accommodating even when our travel plans were affected. This was our first time using Rover, and she made it an amazing experience. Our dog even came home more well-behaved! Amazing. Will absolutely rehire in the future.”
“Romeo was so happy during his stay. I loved that Erica sent me photos . Her daughter is also amazing and both cared for my dog. When I picked up Romeo he was so happy, I could tell he had a great vacation. Thank you both so much.”
“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:)”
“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%.”
About: So, a little about me, I’m an animal lover and I absolutely love to be around dogs! My husband and had a 5 yr old toy poodle mix that we rescued but she has unfortunately passed! We love our fur babies as much as people love their real babies. I enjoyed taking walks with my dog and just giving her as much love and attention as possible, I’d like to extend that love and care to your pets! I have found myself with a lot of extra free time and would like nothing more than to help care for other people’s pets! I’m a stay at home mom so I’m available most days for feedings and walks as well as runs, dog parks, and any other special requests. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate just about any request in order to give your pet the best care while you’re away. I typically try to follow what your family prefers for keeping your dog safe. Whether that is walking your dog on a leash, going to a fenced in dog park, your own backyard, etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thousand Oaks
Heather was wonderful with Charlie! She sent us so many photos and fun updates throughout the weekend, which made us feel completely at ease knowing Charlie was safe, happy, and being so well taken care of. 🥰 Her sweet dog Chadwick was such a great companion for Charlie! Even at 14 years old, he still had enough energy to play with her and even join in on her absolute favorite game — chase! 🤗🐶 They also went on some nice walks around Heather’s property and to a local park, so Charlie got plenty of fresh air and exploring in. The rest of their weekend sounded like a little doggy spa retreat filled with lots of rest, relaxation, and cozy time. Heather was incredibly kind, responsive, and attentive, and I felt very comfortable leaving Charlie in her care. We came home to a happy little girl who clearly had a great weekend. We would absolutely trust Heather with Charlie again! ❤️
We are really happy and thankful for Hayden's help in taking care of our Mia while we were out of town for 9 days. We loved seeing the photos and videos of her being engaged and relaxed with him and his family. We will recommend him to our friends/family and wouldn't hesitate to hire him for our next trip. Thank you so much!
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.
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 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.

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.
