About: Animals have always trusted me, and I take that seriously. I've cared for pets in all stages of life—whether it’s a high-energy pup needing structure or an older cat who just wants safe and spacious company. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique temperament and needs, and I’m often told I bring a calming presence. Friends and family have relied on me for years to step in when they’re away, knowing their pets—and their homes—will be treated with care and respect. I am a musician and work my own hours. This to say that I am uniquely available to meet the needs of your pet- routine included. I take great care to create a calm, gentle, attentive environment that feels safe and familiar for animals. I pay close attention to their routines, signals, and comfort zones. I am someone who insists on clarity. I understand the importance that instructions are clearly understood and for you to feel the comfort of that while you’re away. I communicate clearly, efficiently, and effectively. It takes a real trust to leave your animals and your home in someone else's hands, and I take that responsibility with utmost seriousness—treating your space and your companion with the respect they both deserve.
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 feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. 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.
“Brittany has so SO great with my Tucker. She has been prompt, super friendly and kind and shared images of their walk together. Tucker seems to be in great hands and would def recommend!”

“Perry is a professional. He made sure he got all the instructions and most importantly took the time to understand what type of care my dogs needed. I liked his approach; which can be perceived as a simple task but you're entrusting your house and dear pets. I'll definitely book again. Thanks a bunch Perry!”

“Heidi came to our home to walk our Doberman while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable. We received pictures and comments daily with every walk. It was very comforting to us to know our pet was in safe hands.”

“We chose Zoe based on her profile as she looked very professional. We’ve stuck with Zoe because she turned out to be very punctual and professional. My dog loves Zoe because Zoe seems to “get” my dog. I think he likes walking with her more than me. A+ service”

About: With 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of small and mid size, calm trained big size dogs, I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each pup’s unique needs. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I offer daily walks, sitting and feeding. Whether at your home or mine, I create a safe, loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. My calm demeanor, and my commitment to their well-being is my feature —your pet will be treated like family! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time for your furry friends. I'm available for boarding during the whole week, on weekends and weekdays. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly space that’s clean, secure, and free from hazards. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes and playtime activities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure their pet feels at ease in familiar surroundings. I stay in close communication with pet parents, providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Every dog is treated with love, patience, and the same care I’d want for my own.

“This was the second time I had Sierra review my dog, Bodhi. She was on time, came on short notice, and sent a pic of my dog chilling on his blanket. Very happy with her service and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Linda has been wonderful to work with! She is so good with the dogs and goes above and beyond to help care for them. We will absolutely use her again and recommend without hesitation.”

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thousand Oaks
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Heidi! From the moment we left for our vacation, she made us feel completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such caring and capable hands. Heidi was exceptional with communication, providing regular updates, thoughtful messages, and plenty of adorable photos that helped us stay connected to our little one while we were away. Her updates gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup at home. What impressed us most was how Heidi consistently went above and beyond. When our puppy experienced a bit of an upset stomach, Heidi thoughtfully purchased some pumpkin to help her feel better. She also took the initiative to clean up the poop in our side yard, which was incredibly appreciated and certainly not something we expected. These small acts of kindness demonstrated just how much she genuinely cares about the pets and families she serves. Heidi also spent time working on leash training with our energetic, curious puppy—a task that is not always easy! Her patience, dedication, and willingness to reinforce good habits showed her commitment to our dog's well-being and development. It is clear that Heidi is passionate about what she does and truly loves the animals she cares for. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter or dog walker. Thank you, Heidi, for taking such amazing care of our girl. We look forward to booking with you again in the future! 🐾❤️

Veronica responded to my last minute request quickly and was able to take my dog for a walk when I wasn't feeling well. She was on time in arriving and bringing Bodhi home. She took several cute photos and he seemed to like her immediately. I will definitely consider Veronica in the future for dog walking, etc.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
