Brittany is the only dog sitter so far who has been able to get my very anxious Husky to go for a walk. That speaks volumes to the kindness, patience, and love that she has for animals. I am so impressed and grateful to finally have found someone that I can trust if we have to go away. She’s the best!

Angela goes above and beyond every time she drops in to check on Trygg. I’m so appreciative of the updates and photos, and the peace of mind knowing that he is being cared for so well when I’m away.

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.

About: I have been taking care of my pet dog for since I was 12 I have been handling a very large of the tasks of feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and giving affection to him. My pet care usually fits in whenever I am free (my availability should and will be discussed) and usually when I am finished with classes for the day I care for my dog the same as anyone else, I feed him twice a day, I take him out on walks, and let him go to backyard for the bathroom whenever he wants because of the doggy door we have. I give him so much love, affection, and attention.

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: I’ve grown up in a household with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience cat sitting and understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine while their owners are away. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy running, hiking, and long walks, so I’m happy to provide dogs with any exercise and enrichment they might need. I also have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including my family's deaf dog, which taught me the importance of adapting to each pet’s unique needs. As an incoming senior at UCLA, I am responsible, organized, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, which is why I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand whenever possible. This allows me to get to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best experience possible. I'm also a big believer in keeping pet parents updated, and since I'm usually glued to my phone anyway, you can count on prompt communication and plenty of photos during any visits I have with your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a Starbucks lover, I'm always happy to treat a well-behaved pup to a pup cup during an outing or walk if that's something they're allowed to enjoy! I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. I will keep your home and pet secure, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet feels cared for and loved while you’re away.

About: Passionate dog lover with experience in all breeds and sizes. I’ve handled walks, feeding picky eaters, administering meds, and even attended training classes with clients.

Once classes resume in late January, I’m typically available afternoons, evenings, and overnight, with flexibility depending on location and schedule.

About: Although I haven't personally owned dogs as long as cats, I have had just as much hands on experience loving and caring for them. I absolutely adore dogs, any size shape or age and have a wide experience of not only taking care of my personal dog but others as well. Id love to be your dogs new best friend and give it the best quality of care it deserves with treats, long walks, pats, toys and attention . I work part time currently as well as attend school but have very good time management skills so when not working I have plenty of free time. I strictly work early mornings at my jobs so usually later mornings to early afternoons and on is when im off and free for the remainder of the day to care to your pet. I want nothing but the best when it comes to your animal, Id treat them as my own so when under my watch I would always be supervising and making sure were in a clean and cool environment while also allowing them the space they need. Im very observant and when first getting to know a pet Id like to just get to know them and see what they are and aren't comfortable regarding physical activity, pets/scratches, diets, sleepy time, etc etc and move from their. I just want to build a strong relationship with your pet and be someone they can be comfortable and feel safe around.

About: Hi! I’m Julia and dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog that I miss dearly, and caring for her showed me how amazing it is to have a strong bond with a pet. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to help care for your pup! I’m currently applying to graduate school and have a very open schedule. I’m available most weekdays and am often available on weekends, allowing me to provide flexible care for your pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping a routine, I focus on making sure your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.

Kayla dropped in for two days- four visits, at my home to watch my doggie while I was away. I felt complete trust and confidence in Kayla when I met her. She took loving care of my Labrador and followed the instructions I left perfectly. She updated me on all details , took amazing pics of my dog and made sure she was happy and safe on her walks and when they returned. I’m so glad we found Kayla to take care of our lab while we were away ! I hope she is able to return for future drop-in’s. I highly recommend her !

Kendall is by far my favorite sitter on Rover! Can’t recommend him enough. He took such great care of my cat again. I’m never worried while I’m away, which is a huge relief. Even went out of his way to help me with a package I had delivered to my old address. Thanks Kendall! I know James can’t wait until he sees you again.

About: I’ve been dog sitting and dog watching for several years and have had the opportunity to care for many wonderful dogs, including several families who trust me with their pets year after year. I love spending time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply relaxing together and keeping them company. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, dog sitting is a fun and rewarding way for me to get my dog fix while helping pet owners feel confident that their furry family members are being well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m an elementary school teacher, so I have summers off and extra flexibility in my schedule during those months. Rover is a fun way for me to stay active, spend time with animals, and earn a little extra income while school is out. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I love getting my dog fix by caring for and spending time with other people’s pets! Your dog will be cared for in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment where they’ll have plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also live with my partner, who loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and care while staying with us. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Thousand Oaks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Thousand Oaks on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 13,790 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thousand Oaks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Thousand Oaks stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thousand Oaks. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
