About: Dog training is included. Kurt B. (CPDT-KSA, APDT) is a certified professional dog trainer, who takes videos of the training he does while your dog is in his care. He follows a forcefree teaching method to teach new behaviors. Step-by-step. Errorless. We are not equipped for non social or dog reactive dogs. Please contact ahead of time to schedule free meet and greet and behavior consultation. I work full time as a professional dog trainer at my home. My life is centered around caring for and teaching dogs and the humans that love and teach them. I have a six foot fence with in a larger 6 ft perimeter fence. We have double gates at every entrance. Dogs can free roam. Dogs eat in crates and get rest periods in crates if need be. Dogs need to be able to handle being in a crate for certain periods. Especially if they don't settle down at night and are destructive. But otherwise they are free range.
“It was our first time boarding our 3 ½ year old Rat-Chi and we couldn’t have been happier to find Mariana. We knew our dog would have separation anxiety and Mariana and her husband Mark were such a comfort to our dog Ernie…and to my husband Bert who also had his own separation anxiety ;). Ernie had a blast meeting her corgis as well as the other dogs whom she was dog sitting that week. He paws-itively loved being part of her pack! She gave us updates and sent photos throughout his 9-day stay. Mariana’s love for dogs of all shapes, sizes and demeanor make her a rare gem. To Ernie, they are friends fur-ever.”
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Misty and her family took excellent care of Greta. I would definitely recommend and have complete confidence with Greta staying over in the future. The daily photos were great and added to our confidence and comfort.”
“Deandra and her family took wonderful care of my 5 month old puppy over the holidays. Charlie stayed with Deandra for 10 days and was given so much care and attention. She loved playing with their dog in the front yard, which was great socialization and tuckered Charlie out! Deandra sent daily updates which made me feel comforted to leave her for an extended timeframe. I highly recommend Deandra and plan to book her again!”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“Mark and Yulia have the sweetest family and they took such incredible care of my Hazel! She is very expressive and her happiness was beaming through the photo updates I was sent regularly. I get anxious to leave my dog but having her in their care was a big relief to me. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“My 2 year old doodle had a fantastic time with Todd and Febronia! She came back worn out and smelling great. As soon as I arrived, I could tell it was going to be a great stay for her. Febronia was so friendly and has a fantastic yard for the dogs to run in, and a safe, clean, fun house for the dogs to hang out in. I felt totally safe leaving my dog here, and I could tell that she is happy and worn out from all the fun.”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Kalia. She was always quick to respond to booking requests, messages, and was very understanding when we had to cancel a different booking due to a change in plans. She sent regular updates and pictures of our boy and I could tell he was having a great visit with her and her two goldens. She put our mind at ease as this was our first time booking through Rover. We had used boarding facilities in the past and our boy would come back overstimulated and often with tummy issues, but it was not the case when he stayed with Kalia. We will definitely book with her again next time!”

“Our dog is a typical German Shepherd, super attached and a good amount of anxiety. So we were definitely concerned about leaving her for 10 days. With Ashley, we learned quickly we had nothing to worry about. They bonded right away and the happy dog photos she sent along during our trip are some of the best photos we have of her. Ashley was incredibly caring and kept our pup on a consistent daily schedule. I highly recommend Ashley for caring for your pets.”
“Taryn was the first pet sitter I had in Los Angeles. I had a kitten that needed care while I went away for an extended period of time. She always took photos of my kitten and kept me updated along the way. Would highly recommend”

About: I have grown up in a family full of animal lovers! I have always had dogs, cats, and even pigs around me ever since I was little. I also spent my 4 years in high school volunteering at my local humane society caring for the sweetest pups and kittens. I find myself very comfortable taking care of all types of animals as I have raised and cared for many throughout my lifetime. I am currently a mom of two precious kitties who are my whole world.

The rest of my work in video content creation is remote, this allows me to be flexible with my schedule and location. When at a clients home, I leave a large window of time to just spend time with the pets, whether that be petting, playing fetch, scratching bellies, or just hanging out with one another.

I find it makes the animals most comfortable to be home where they have their routine and their own familiar territory. I want them to be as safe, happy, and comfortable as possible, while their parents are away.

“Kalia was easy to work with, great communication from the start. Provided me with updates and photos of Champ during his stay. I highly recommend Kalia if you’re in town and need someone to look after your pet!”
“Jackson and Oliver had a great day with Misty! She has a lovely home and large backyard. My pups had a wonderful time exploring and playing with Misty and her children. Misty was quick to respond to my initial request and promptly answered any questions I had prior to the dog sitting date. She was also great about sending me photos and info on how they were doing while with her. When I came to pick them up, I knew Jackson and Oliver had had a great day based on the big smiles on their faces! I would definitely recommend Misty to anyone looking for a reputable Rover sitter. If I'm back in Ojai next year, I'll be bringing the boys back for another playdate! Thanks again Misty!”
“My husband and I were visiting Ventura and in desperate need of a sitter for my dog. Chelsey was super professional, positive and very sweet. My baby was happy when I picked him up. I definitely will bring my dog back. Thank you Chelsey.”
“I'm so happy I found Melissa! She was very friendly and resonsive in communication and when we turned up at her house I couldn't believe the size of the grounds of her beautiful home. It was the dream playground for my puppy. She sent me pictures of her while I explore Ojai and it was clear when I picked my puppy up that she had had such great time and loved Melissa. She's trustworthy and clearly loves animals.Thank you Melissa!”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats most of my life since age 10, including a bonded pair of terriers I adopted and loved until they unfortunately passed in 2022. Since then I've done dog/cat-sitting, dog walking, and dog boarding for a variety of friends and clients, and have always had a wonderful experience. I really appreciate the opportunity to get to know individual pet's personalities and quirks, spend quality time with them, and figure out the sweet spot for pets and scritches. I'm currently going back to school and many of my classes are asynchronous so my schedule is generally pretty flexible and will work around your pet. As a result I am able to spend a lot of quality time with them and meet their unique, individual needs. Also if they want they can help me study to become a therapist! I have a small apartment on a beautiful property near downtown Ojai. I can unfortunately only board small dogs though. In a client's home I do my absolute best to respect your space as well as your pet. Let me know what you need to feel comfortable. I'm receptive to feedback and value open communication!
“Although Macho was only with Mariana and family for six hours, they kept him occupied and he wasn't distressed from being away from his Mama. Definitely recommend Mariana and we'll be certain to avail ourselves of her services again ourselves. Macho's Dad”
“My two dogs loved Ashley! They have extreme separation anxiety being away from me, but they were so comfortable with Ashley and loved being with her! She took amazing care of them and sent updates throughout their stay! I will use her again! :)”
“When we arrived to drop of Bubba, Deandra invited us inside, I liked that. She kept us updated about how he was doing during the day. I would definitely contact Deandra again.”
“Our pup has stayed with Kay a few times now and we've already scheduled some more visits. Kay is very patient and kind. She is also very accomodating. Vaughan gets to walk and play in the yard and comes home tired and happy. Thanks Kay!”
“Sara saved our trip! We were camping in the area and planned a day out at the Channel Islands NP (not dog-friendly). Our original doggy sitter canceled on us two days before and we scrambled to find someone last minute. It was a blessing in disguise. Sara is the absolute sweetest! Communication was excellent. She updated us throughout the day with photos and kept our girl busy with playtime, a walk, and a hike. She was able to administer medication too. I can’t say enough good things! Thank you, Sara!”
“Ellen was great. She took great care of our pup and was very easy going. She even had some advice for activities in town that were really great. We will definitely see her again next time we are in town.”
“Alexandra and Billy were wonderful! We felt completely secure leaving our Dobie with them. They made him feel right at home and took him on fun walks and adventures. I would highly recommend Alexandra and Billy to anyone looking for a safe and reliable place where their fur baby will be loved and very well cared for. We look forward to reaching out to them again when we’re back in the area! 🐾”
“This is the third time our dog has done doggy day care at Jessica's and it is always a positive experience. Our dog was in good hands, and loves playing with Jessica's dog Luma and had a playmate to match her high energy. Jessica is responsive, sent updates and photos, and we appreciate her asking questions beforehand to see if there is anything she should know and is observant of our dog's needs during the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsey was awesome with our puppy! She kept her busy and our pup was always happy and tired when I picked her up. Our pup was always so excited when she realized we arrived at Kelsey's place. Thank you, Kelsey!”
“We were very happy with Hersh and his care for our small dog Sophie. Sophie was calm and relaxed when we picker her up unlike a previous stay at a kennel for small dogs. Hersh sent us a picture of Sophie relaxing on the couch and I could tell she was enjoying herself and was content. Good job. We would definitely use Hersh again if we are traveling in the area.”

About: Animals are my passion. I cared for my beloved Parson Russell Terrier, Milo, from 2000 to 2015, and he’s the reason I fell in love with caring for all animals. That love led me to volunteer at the Berkeley Humane Society as a cat companion in 2014, and later at the Santa Cruz SPCA as a dog walker from 2024 to 2025. I’ve also transported rescued animals—most memorably a German Shepherd from NYC to his forever home in Florida—and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for many years. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m fully committed to providing exceptional, reliable, and compassionate care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, your pet will be treated like family. I follow your pet’s established routine—feeding, walking, medication, and comfort—and during extended stays, I’m happy to water plants, collect mail, and keep your home tidy. My mission is simple: to care for your pets with genuine love, respect, and dependability. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for you and your pet. My background in customer service has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pet comfortable and secure in their own home. I follow their regular routine, prioritize safety, and care for them with the same attention and love I would give my own pets.
About: I love all critters, large and small. I have two large dogs which I have both trained. They are incredibly well behaved, but I know how to give them space to be rambunctious and playful. It’s so important for pets to have a safe space to be themselves and show their beautiful, unique personalities. I know how to work with senior and leash-aggressive dogs. Kitties are wonderful with minds of their own. I give them attention when they want it, but distance if not. They are cats after all! I can take care of fish too, as I have a tank of them in addition to my dogs. My schedule is extremely flexible! I walk my dogs in the morning, but I can adjust my walk time as needed. For overnights, my husband will take care of our fur babies. I start off with an introduction to you and your pet. Treats are a great way to start off on the right paw! I ensure your pet feels safe and gets to know me. I am caring and loving, and I also know how to give space to your furry one when they need it.
About: I have experience dog sitting for a range of types of pups. From younger puppies to senior dogs, I have worked with many different pups.

I am a college student in the area and work a schedule that is usually centered around afternoons/evenings. Depending on your schedule needs I can do my best to help out! I am local to a lot of dog parks and dog friendly outdoor spaces in the Ventura county area. I know a lot of great spots for dogs to hang out and play!
About: I've been a pet guardian all of my (long-ish) life and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member.

I'm currently not working full time, so I have time to help you look after your animals. My dogs (springer spaniels) lived very long and happy lives, and now I have a solo cat at home. I am available to visit your animals in your home, take them for walks, clean up after them and play with them. I can't have overnights at the moment due to my own pet.

About: A lifelong animal lover with a passion for creating nurturing, safe, and joy-filled experiences for your furry companions.

I’ve always been drawn to animals for their unconditional love and vibrant spirits, and I make it my mission to ensure they feel just as seen, loved, and secure when you’re away. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and energy levels—from energetic pups who need long walks to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. My intuitive, calm approach helps create a grounded and trusting environment. I also know how to adapt and attune to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s a midday walk to shake off some zoomies or a calming, sound-bath-like experience for an anxious pet, I tailor my care accordingly. Safety and communication are always a priority—you’ll receive heartfelt updates and thoughtful check-ins along the way. Rest assured, your beloved pets will be treated like family. I’m genuinely excited to meet your furry loved ones and share some sweet, soul-nourishing adventures together. I also offer experienced house-sitting and plant care services, so if you’re ever in need of in-home support, I’d be happy to help. I balance my schedule to make sure pets get the attention and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks or evening cuddles, I prioritize their routines while still having flexibility in my day. Caring for animals is a rewarding part of my week, and I love making it a special experience for them. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, fun environment where they feel safe and loved. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything running smoothly, following feeding schedules, playing, or snuggling as needed. I ensure every pet feels comfortable and at ease, making them my top priority.
About: As a loving pet owner myself, I understand the importantance of finding a caretaker that you trust. I will love your pets as I do my own. I will make sure your pets are happy and cared for regardless of breed, size or age. You will have peace of mind knowing I am caring for your beloved pets while you are away. I have pets that have to be cared for in a specific manner, so I understand the importance of following instructions to be sure your pets are safe. I do not work outside the home. My time is not limited or scheduled. My girls are home schooled so we have no other commitments than to be sure your pets are cared for.

About: Dog training is included. Kurt B. (CPDT-KSA, APDT) is a certified professional dog trainer, who takes videos of the training he does while your dog is in his care. He follows a forcefree teaching method to teach new behaviors. Step-by-step. Errorless. We are not equipped for non social or dog reactive dogs. Please contact ahead of time to schedule free meet and greet and behavior consultation. I work full time as a professional dog trainer at my home. My life is centered around caring for and teaching dogs and the humans that love and teach them. I have a six foot fence with in a larger 6 ft perimeter fence. We have double gates at every entrance. Dogs can free roam. Dogs eat in crates and get rest periods in crates if need be. Dogs need to be able to handle being in a crate for certain periods. Especially if they don't settle down at night and are destructive. But otherwise they are free range.
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Misty and her family took excellent care of Greta. I would definitely recommend and have complete confidence with Greta staying over in the future. The daily photos were great and added to our confidence and comfort.”
“Deandra and her family took wonderful care of my 5 month old puppy over the holidays. Charlie stayed with Deandra for 10 days and was given so much care and attention. She loved playing with their dog in the front yard, which was great socialization and tuckered Charlie out! Deandra sent daily updates which made me feel comforted to leave her for an extended timeframe. I highly recommend Deandra and plan to book her again!”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“Mark and Yulia have the sweetest family and they took such incredible care of my Hazel! She is very expressive and her happiness was beaming through the photo updates I was sent regularly. I get anxious to leave my dog but having her in their care was a big relief to me. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“My 2 year old doodle had a fantastic time with Todd and Febronia! She came back worn out and smelling great. As soon as I arrived, I could tell it was going to be a great stay for her. Febronia was so friendly and has a fantastic yard for the dogs to run in, and a safe, clean, fun house for the dogs to hang out in. I felt totally safe leaving my dog here, and I could tell that she is happy and worn out from all the fun.”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Kalia. She was always quick to respond to booking requests, messages, and was very understanding when we had to cancel a different booking due to a change in plans. She sent regular updates and pictures of our boy and I could tell he was having a great visit with her and her two goldens. She put our mind at ease as this was our first time booking through Rover. We had used boarding facilities in the past and our boy would come back overstimulated and often with tummy issues, but it was not the case when he stayed with Kalia. We will definitely book with her again next time!”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“Our fur babies stayed with Alexandra and Billy during our vacation in Santa Barbara. They were very accommodating during our time there. We were able to pick our pups, spend time with them and drop them off again. Our pups were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely contact them again on future visits to the area.”
“Taryn was an amazing sitter for Henry! He stayed with her for 3 weeks and loved it. She communicated well, sent regular updates with photos, and made sure he was well taken care of. Her house has a huge fenced backyard with no other pets, which was perfect since Henry needs to be the only dog. She works from home, giving him plenty of attention, and her large-dog experience was a big comfort with our 60+ lb pup. She took him on walks and adventures, kept to our schedule, and followed all instructions. Taryn and her partner went above and beyond to make Henry feel right at home. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and provide a safe, welcoming environment. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend to other pet parents!”
“Outstanding service. Claudia sent me tons of photos everday and it made me feel not terrible about leaving my baby behind because it looked like she was having so much fun. Thanks again.”
“Stefanie and her husband were fantastic. My dog was well cared for and I received pictures and status updates frequently. I highly recommend boarding your dog Stefanie, she treated my dog like family.”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“Tian-Tian was an absolute lifesaver! We found ourselves in a difficult situation when our original dog sitter canceled on us the day before our vacation. We were scrambling to find a sitter who offered boarding and came across Tian-Tian's profile on Rover. Our dog is a rescue and has severe separation anxiety, so we are always nervous about leaving him with someone new. He is also very slow to warm up to people. Tian-Tian was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to have a meet-and-greet within an hour of contacting her. Within 20 minutes of meeting her, our anxious pup was eating out of her hand! We were amazed. It is clear that Tian-Tian has a special way with dogs. She is patient, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in such great hands. We will definitely be booking with Tian-Tian again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Caring family and plenty of space to run around! Our one and a bit year old pup had an absolute blast zooming around the backyard with their two labradoodles. Amanda was very accomodating and kept us updated with pictures.”
“Shannon was great and took really great care of Stormy! She gave us daily updates with a pick of our happy pup. Stormy got to go on walks everyday and even got to accompany Shannon on a couple outings! She has a great time! Thank you, Shannon!!!”
