“Brittany is great! We had never used a sitter or taken our dog to doggy daycare before so we were a little nervous, but Brittany responded quickly, sent multiple pictures throughout the day, and our dog loved her. Will definitely book with her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alice! She was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. She kept us updated throughout the day with frequent texts and photos, giving us a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. She was also very responsive whenever we had questions. We absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I only board one pet at a time. 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.
“Ayni & Alfonsus are incredible! My little Ocean gets excited when I drop her off. Shes also older/tripled and they take excellent care of her with plenty of updates via text, photo, video. Glad I found them! Highly recommend.”
“Oli is a very loving, conscientious, accommodating and responsible dog sitter. I appreciate her awareness of a dog's energy and I knew Scout was in good hands with her, so I never have to worry about her when she's with Oli. I also appreciated the follow up on the first day along with pics to assure me Scout felt settled in.”
“Julia is super dependable and communicative! Our 2 dogs stayed with her during the day and she took lots of pics to messaged us during the day. We can tell our dogs love her and feel very comfortable at her place. We feel so happy to have found a new sitter who we can trust when we are on vacation.”
“Elaine and Marty have given me peace of mind while traveling for work or pleasure. I know Zoey is home away from home with her daily routine and the love she receives. I am guilt free leaving here there and words cannot express my gratitude to Elaine and Marty.”
“Dodi was wonderful with our Mia! She sent updates and pictures so we knew Mia was OK the whole time, and Mia had ball getting to play with the other dogs. Mia came home a happy girl. Thank you Dodi!!”
About: (Greg) I’ve owned three dogs since I was 18, and have cared for pets since childhood. My wife and both of my daughters (Oliva & Audrey) love dogs, we have dogsat for our neighbors/family/friends, and will assist me in caring for yours. Feel free to reach out for testimonials from our neighbors, family, and friends' recommendations (not on Rover) During the week, I work from home and can take the necessary breaks for pet care. My daughters will assist me with pet care, once homework and other daily tasks are complete. We offer an enclosed backyard for dogs to be outside during daytime. In the evening, we'll have them sleep in an owner-provided kennel or in our living room on a bed pad. This can be inside the house or garage, depending upon the type of dog, its temperament, and owner preference.
About: MATURE and RESPONSIBLE DOG LOVER. I’ve had dogs from small to giant. I am a volunteer at the Agoura Animal Shelter and Ventura County Animal Shelter. I have many years of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and currently I have a Treeing Walker Hound, and a senior Cocker Spaniel (both are rescues). I provide hotel pet sitting, hiking, walking, and check-ins. A MEET AND GREET WITH THE PET AND THEIR OWNER IS REQUIRED. I walk my own dogs every morning and bathe them once each week. Dog-walking is my livelihood and I take the care of dogs seriously. I volunteer twice a week at the Agoura Animal Shelter and the Ventura Animal Shelter. I live in a single-family home with a fenced yard, and have a section of the house I can gate if I need to. Because I have my own dogs who need me, I am not available to stay in a client’s home.
About: I've been a dedicated dog owner for a few years and understand the responsibility, structure, and attention dogs need to thrive and feel comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog daily, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family. I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I work remotely four days a week and off Saturday through Monday, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and interaction. My own dog, Peanut, spends the day with me in my home office, and this allows for a couple of one-on-one play sessions throughout the day. My home office has a sliding door that leads directly to our large, and secure, yard, making potty breaks easy and as frequent as needed. I have a school age daughter, and a terrier mix who roams freely, so we’re very mindful about keeping floors and common areas clear of anything that could pose a choking hazard or safety risk. Same goes with the outside. I provide close supervision in a normal household activity and everyday sounds like TV or music. My dog is crate trained; however, we typically use a playpen if a secure space is needed. I am happy to follow each pet's parent's preferences regarding crating, feeding routines, and supervision to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Thousand Oaks commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
