“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!”

“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!”

“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 !”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and can’t wait to take care of your cuties . Animals are an important part of our lives and they deserve the world Pets are a big part of my routine! I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I enjoy keeping a consistent schedule to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I love my pets so much ! And I would take care of your pets like mine. I love animals and would love to hangout with them
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.
“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: Hello! 🐾 Working with animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, including experience in dog grooming, working in a veterinary clinic, and providing professional pet-sitting services. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible for every pet I look after. I love going the extra mile for my clients and making sure their fur babies feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re away. Whether that means taking the pups on fun little field trips and adventures or simply staying home, cuddling, and keeping them company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. 🐶💕 Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! 🐾🌸🩷 Feel free to send me a message so we can set up a meet-and-greet. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! ☺️🐶🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work around each client’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daily visits, overnight stays, walks, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets, I like to learn as much as possible about their individual routines and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I like to know their feeding schedule, any medications they may be taking, and whether there are any behavioral or special needs I should be aware of. I also take into consideration their age, whether they are a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior, as some pets may need a little extra attention, patience, or care. For every pet-sitting arrangement, I also appreciate having an emergency contact and the information for their regular veterinarian or a nearby emergency vet, just in case something unexpected happens. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just as they would be at home.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s pets for a few years. I have worked with a trainer so I have some knowledge of positive reinforcement training. I am not working at this time so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay at your home the full time you are away or just do drop ins. Whatever you need. I do not offer care in my home but will be happy to stay with your pets at your home which puts your pets in a more comfortable environment.

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. I currently work part-time so I have lots of time for drop-in visits or even several hours of care in your home. Please do not hesitate to contact me same-day if need be. I will do my best to accommodate your pet! Caring for your pets in your home is my main point of service. My goal is to be available to come drop-in or have an extended stay over the course of the day or night with your fur babies. I am able to follow feeding and potty break schedules and I can also administer medication if needed. Your fur babies will always feel safe and loved while under my care. I would never do anything to compromise the safety or trust of my clients or their pets. I understand that these animals are mentally and emotionally intelligent and I will always treat your booking as I’d like a sitter to treat mine.
About: I have loved all animals my whole life. I am currently working on applying to college for veterinary medicine and thought that this job fit perfect with my interests and future aspirations. I am currently in school so my best and most available times are in the early morning or evenings during the week. Sundays are very open. My schedule does move around so other times may be available as well. Just reach out! I have 2 dogs of my own. Both are french bulldogs, one is 11 and the other is 4 years old. They are very friendly with other dogs. I have a fenced backyard as well as a dog park down the street from my house.
“David made us feel so comfortable with Zack's care while we were away. He sent daily updates and photos. We couldn't be more pleased. We will definitely ask David to care for Zack again. Thank you so much David!”

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.
“Once again Jeni comes through for the save! Had a last-minute commitment for a day and Jeni was able to swing by to let my dog out twice and feed her. Great updates and my dog is happy! Thanks!”

When I’m caring for your pet in your home or out and about, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment and follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I have experience with senior pets and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they may need. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications, supplements, or other daily care routines as needed. Your pet will be treated like family—with compassion, reliability, and lots of love every step of the way.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thousand Oaks
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.

Taylor was absolutely wonderful with Cooper and Oliver! We used her for drop-in visits over 4 days, and from the very beginning she was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring with both of our boys. She took the time to carefully read through all of our instructions and even double-checked with us beforehand to make sure she understood Oliver’s activity restrictions due to his back. Throughout the week, Taylor sent detailed Rover cards, lots of great photos, and thoughtful updates after every visit. She made sure they ate their meals, had fresh water, went outside for potty breaks, and followed our instructions closely. What we appreciated most was that she didn’t just take care of the basics, she actually spent quality time with them. She played ball with Cooper, gave Oliver plenty of attention and affection, and really seemed to get to know both of their personalities. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for by someone who was so kind and attentive while we were away. Taylor was also very responsive anytime we communicated with her and was happy to help with little things around the house, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy boys and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Taylor with Cooper and Oliver again and will definitely reach out to her for future visits. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter! 🐾❤️

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.

- 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.

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 .
