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

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, but my experience is especially dog-focused now that I have two dogs of my own. I understand the importance of keeping dogs on their normal routines and giving them the individual attention, exercise, playtime, and care they need. I also started babysitting and pet sitting for friends and family around age 14, which gave me years of hands-on experience caring for other people’s pets. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calmer routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of my own. This summer, I am taking summer classes and watching dogs because I love pets and needed to fill my day with something I enjoy and thought spending time with animals would be the perfect way. My home is very comfortable i have a lot of fluffy blankets that let’s like to lay on as well as a window for sun bathing and living room to play in.

About: As a lifelong dog lover with hands-on dog sitting experience, I’ve cared for everything from rowdy puppies to sweet senior dogs who need medication and extra patience. I’ve owned small breeds like tiny terriers and Shih Tzus, and I currently have an 8-year-old gentle giant Newfie named Willow, so I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs at every stage of life. I’m attentive to routines, energy levels, and special needs, and I always aim to make dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m often invited back as a regular sitter, which reflects the trust I build with both pets and their families! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because caring for others is already part of my everyday life. As a mom and pet owner, I’m used to structuring my day around routines like walks, feeding times, play, and quiet time. I naturally build my schedule around responsibility and consistency, which allows me to give pets reliable, attentive care that feels calm, seamless, and stress-free. When I care for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, like feeding, walks, litter or yard care, and any medications; while also giving them attention and affection based on their unique personality.

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.

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.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
