“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.”
About: I grew up in Mexico up until I was 6 years old and my family had so many different kinds of animals that ranged from cows, turkeys, chickens, pigs, cats, dogs and even the random peacock. Moving to the US, I grew up with a few dogs & a bunny who I loved very much. When I moved out on my own, I never had my own pet due to my living circumstances but my friends always would ask me to help take care of their pets while they’d be away and even during the pandemic, I assisted my friend who fostered animals. That experience singlehandedly changed my life for the better and made me love taking care of animals even more. Animals are such smart creatures and its important to connect with them well so they can trust you and respect you as well! Currently have very open availability as I moved back home to my family’s as I am taking a year to focus going back to school to get my MBA and would like to still work a bit while I study and apply to schools. Even if I were to get a full time job again, I would want to keep taking care of pets in my free time! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to take care of pets in my home as my mom runs a daycare but I will ensure your pet and your property are both well taken care of. I will clean up after myself and the pet(s) but also ensure they feel comfortable in their space. If needed to stay overnight, I will do as told and ensure the space is the same as it was left! Respecting someone’s home and pets is my number 1 priority.
“Perry recently began walking our dog Harley. During the meet and greet, he took notes to ensure that he knew just how to walk her and what her triggers can be. He sends Rover cards after each visit and leaves our space very clean. Harley can have separation anxiety, but he makes sure to follow through with our strategies to help her once he leaves. We are very happy with him!”
“Taylor was just fantastic with my dog, who is very shy and skittish around people she doesn’t know. Taylor was calm, patient, and so gentle with my dog and she was quickly at ease! I was really anxious about leaving my dog with a stranger for the first time, and will definitely use Taylor again! She was always on time, sent regular reports, and was very reliable and easy to work with. Thank you Taylor!”
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.
“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!”
“Allison is wonderful. She stopped by to meet our pup and he quickly warmed up to her. Her communication is excellent and we were very comfortable leaving our pup in her care. So happy to have met Allison.”
“Julia did a great job! I have a big dog and she had no problem walking and feeding her. Julia was always on time and consistently updated me. I will definitely schedule with her again.”
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I've jokingly called myself a "cat whisperer" and pride myself in connecting with kitties of all ages. I will care for your furry friend like it is my own. I prefer to care for cats and small dogs as I'm admittingly intimidated by large dogs. I am currently home full time with my young children, so I have a very flexible schedule to help care for your pet. Occasionally I may need to bring them with me during care hours, so if your pet is very timid or not good around small children we probably aren't a good fit. Sorry. I prefer to take care of your pet in your home, and would diligently spend time and give care to your pet like it was my own.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Whether it be my own or caring for others, they always have a special place in my heart. The most important things to me is their comfort and health. I enjoy adapting to your pets needs and making sure they get the most out of our time together. I’m able to handle any medications and be assistance to any training techniques that need to be reinforced. I have lots of daytime availability and enjoy running or playing as much as your pet needs. I’ve recently moved from Chicago where I was dog walking in all types of weather. So there’s nothing I won’t do to give your furry friend the care and love they deserve! I am an artist and work from home. I set my own hours and have the flexibility to be present and playful with the animal I'm caring for. I live in a quiet gated community that has lots of places to walk and explore. With a trail nearby and it's a very animal friendly neighborhood. When I stay in someones home, I go off the mode of leave no trace. Meaning I'm tidy and courteous. I treat anyones space like its my own with all the attention and care for the animal.
About: I grew up on a farm! I love all animals and can even take care of livestock, horses, etc. I currently have 3 high needs dogs! I can administer medications, injections, and am very sensitive with high needs care and breeds. I am also very experienced with high anxiety animals and can adapt to your pets needs. If your pet has a special need, please don’t hesitate to talk to me about it! I do require a meet and greet prior to visits! As a dog owner myself I am very used to standard routines! Feeding, walking, playtime and rest. I have ample time on my days off from being a hairstylist and would love to fill my time playing with your pets! I can only care for your pet in and around your home! During the time I am with your pet, I will make sure they feel loved, have a full belly, and are all tired out for when you get home! I have a very gentle and sweet approach with animals.
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 even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. 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.
“Nicky is an absolute gem! She has been walking my puppy a few days a week for a month and my puppy absolutely loves her! Nicky sends photos and videos from every single walk and gives me any important feedback. She is very patient and loving with my puppy and has been 100% reliable. I would have no issue with leaving my pup with her for overnight visits as well.”
About: I’m a reliable and experienced dog walker and pet sitter with a lifelong love for dogs. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I truly enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved.

Over the years, I’ve become a trusted, go-to dog walker in my neighborhood, mainly through referrals and repeat clients.

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! 🐾❤️
I’m so grateful to have found Taylor! My pups adored her from the moment they met her, and they wait with enthusiasm for her to take them for their daily walkies. They come home tired and happy. Taylor is super professional, great with communication, passionate about her work, and incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and needs. She takes adorable and hilarious walk photos and I love the daily notes about how everything went. Taylor is awesome!
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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Thousand Oaks. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thousand Oaks. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
