“I was so nervous to leave my 17 year old cat alone for the first time in his life but Brittany took the BEST care of him. She took so many pics and videos of him and I could tell how much he loved her. He would meow more greeting her than us even haha I couldn’t recommend Brittany enough she is amazing, reliable, and so trustworthy. She was so affectionate towards my cat and he needs his rubs and butt pats like he needs food. She even saved my mom’s car from being towed from a spot in our neighborhood which was above and beyond! I will definitely be booking with her anytime we need a sitter again in the future!”

Since the age of 6 years old, I have always owned a dog until present day. The bottom line is I love dogs whether they have a good or bad temperament-- I am willing to work with them and make sure that they are comfortable and happy in my setting. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and making sure they stay healthy. I am also flexible and accommodating to whatever special needs that may pertain to your K-9. Overall, its a blessing to have these furry creatures on earth with us and I cherish that every day, if you any questions please feel free to contact me. I am committed to your pets needs.

We have a gated backyard and a dog play yard very safe and dog friendly with a lot of cool obstacles. Looking forward to taking care of your dog.
“This was our second time working Zoe. She is was lovely to work with the first time and as someone who is an anxious dog mom, Zoe helps me feel like my baby is being taken care of! She sends photos and updates throughout the visit and is gentle when approaching typically wary dog. I highly recommend her!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dogs, two cats, and fish, and I’ve also cared for birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits throughout my life. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines. As a mom of two young children and an educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive to details, and great at following instructions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind! I work part-time as a tutor and caregiver for an adult with special needs, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work best for their pets’ routines and needs. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s day! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, respecting each pet’s boundaries, keeping doors and gates secure, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, give your pets plenty of attention and affection, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, trustworthy hands.
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.
About: My name is Michael, and I have been a dog lover and owner for most of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from energetic large breeds to gentle small mutts, as well as senior dogs needing a little extra patience and tender loving care. Although every dog is unique, one thing has always remained the same: my deep love and respect for what I believe to be the world's most incredible animal. What to Expect When I Watch Your Dog: Family-Style Care: My pets have always been treated like family members, resting and sleeping wherever they feel comfortable. I will treat your dog with that exact same level of love, attention, and fun play. Respect for Your Home: As a house sitter and drop-in caregiver, I take pride in being tidy, reliable, and respectful of your home. You can travel with complete peace of mind knowing both your pet and your property are in conscientious hands. Communication & Peace of Mind: I believe in keeping owners connected! You can expect regular text updates and photo check-ins throughout my stay or visit. Following Your Routine: Whether your dog has a strict feeding schedule, specific walking route, or basic care routine, I follow your instructions to ensure seamless care and keep your dog feeling safe and secure. One thing you can be sure of: having your dog taken care of by me is the next best thing to being there yourself. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work school day hours, so my schedule is predictable. When house sitting, I structure my day around your dog—providing attention in the morning, completing afternoon visits or walks after school, and spending every evening and night fully devoted to keeping your dog company in your home. As an in-home sitter, I treat your property and pet with the utmost care, respect, and responsibility. I closely follow your exact instructions regarding feeding, doors, gates, and routines to keep your home secure and your pet safe. You can travel worry-free knowing your pet is in a clean, quiet, and loving environment.
“Perry did a great job for us! He was punctual, organized and communicative. Extremely professional and warm. We'll be happy to have him back to watch the girls again soon.”

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.

I also love animals and like to be around them when I can! When I had my dogs, who are now in doggy Heaven I would feed them in the morning and give them snacks throughout the day. Both dogs were active and in great shape til they got old. I would take them on walks and adventures when I would go out, especially on hikes and car rides. I loved to spoil my babies, but in a healthy way. Not too much or too little. I am free to your needs! My work schedule is flexible/Hybrid. I’m here to spend time with loving animals and make their day a little better when their owner isn’t present. I would ask if there are any specific and special needs your pet/ pets acquire. I would ask if your pet has a daily routine or a certain schedule I need to follow.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from cats and dogs to bunnies and guinea pigs. My home was always privileged to have pets when I was growing up and now as an adult I’ve chosen to care for my own as well. I absolutely love animals and see them as more than just pets. These babies are family and I will always do my best to make sure your pet receives maximum comfort and care. I am skilled in caring for both young and old fur babies and I am able to follow any specific needs for whatever your baby requires.

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. This job is a great fit for me as I have some time before I switch military branches. Since I no longer own cats or dogs, pet-sitting is the perfect fit for me with my experience. I have a clean home and I’m always up to go for a walk or run with your pet! I proactively engage with your pet depending on his or her needs and always make sure to ask owners if there is anything I can do to help ensure the perfect environment for your pet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thousand Oaks
So grateful we found Debbie before our trip! It was very comforting knowing our cats were being well taken care of while we were gone. She followed our care instructions, played with our girls, and sent pictures after each visit. Will definitely be booking again!

Heather is absolutely wonderful! She’s sweet, communicative, and sends very thorough updates after her drop-in visits, which gives us such peace of mind. Her dog Chadwick is also an absolute sweetheart and gets along so well with Barry! We’re so happy to have found her and will definitely be using her regularly. Highly recommend!

Writing We couldn't have been happier with Sierra! She took wonderful care of our two cats, Spark and Ember, and our home while we were away. It's always a little stressful leaving your pets behind when traveling, but Sierra gave us complete peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly took her responsibilities seriously. We returned to two happy, well-cared-for cats and a house that was just as we left it. Most importantly, we felt we could genuinely trust her, and that means everything when you're leaving your pets and home in someone else's hands. We would absolutely use Sierra again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a terrific pet and house sitter!
As always, Cathleen deserves 5 stars as a Dogsitter. First of all, she cares. She loves dogs and takes the job seriously. She is dependable. She knows her job is important and takes each job seriously. She is trustworthy. I feel safe asking her to come to my home when I am not there. She communicates. She calls and texts and sends photos and reports on her visits with my dog. I highly recommend Cathleen for dog sitting and I thank River for connecting us!

Brittany was awesome - met for a meet and greet before the start time and rolled with me forgetting to leave a key and having to deal with notifying me she was there every day to let her in. Managed to figure out a better entry situation together quickly. Sent great pictures and I was never in doubt my dog was in great care. Will definitely book again! Thanks Brittany.

Ryan was absolutely great. I am very particular about my little Shih Tzu as he is my first, my only, and is also a senior now. But Ryan put me at ease as he was very experienced, patient, communicative, and loving towards my little guy. Thank you for making us anxious dog parents feel a sense of relief!

Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!
Kendall is absolutely awesome! From the amazing meet and greet to the special care he gave both of my ragdoll‘s Raja and Bleu while I was out of town was top-notch. I never had to worry his communication was thorough and I truly appreciated it. My girls were safe and I definitely will use Kendall for my next out of town trip. Thank you so much.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Thousand Oaks is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $60 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,963 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thousand Oaks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
sitters 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 sitter.
