About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I helped raise and care for all kinds of animals including rabbits, cats, and dogs, learning hands-on responsibility and compassion from a young age. I bring decades of experience and have a special love for senior pets. Since 2011, I’ve rescued and cared for older dogs, giving them comfort, attention, and love in their final years. Two of my own cats lived to be 20, so I understand the dedication needed for long-term care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet, I treat every animal like family. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for years to nurture, love, and care for their pets and I’d be honored to do the same for yours. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate to your pet. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship tailored to each animal’s needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide attentive supervision, and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. With decades of experience — from ranch animals to senior dogs, cats, and small pets — I provide patient, loving, and reliable care that pet parents can trust.

Ashley was AMAZING with our cat Gigi. She was always on time, energetic and playful, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable being away from her. I got so many adorable pictures and videos of my cat having a blast. She helped us and our little girl feel so comfortable being apart. Definitely book her!!

Jennifer was so communicative and took great care of our pups, who can be a bit challenging. We were worried our anxious girl would be difficult to get harnessed and out the door, but looks like she had a great time, and we loved getting photos of her walk, along with all her friends at home, who need less attention. Thanks, Jennifer!

I work full time but I am available in the evening as well as some mornings before work. I usually have open availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful cat currently, who is very spoiled at my house. We love being active outside and playing with toys at home.

About: Pets have always been a special part of my life. I’ve cared for my own pets, friends’ and family members’ dogs, and the dogs and cats of families I’ve babysat for since I was 13. After 15+ years of caring for dogs and cats, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks — and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. As an elementary school teacher of 6 years, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach to everything I do. I understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable environment where each animal feels loved and cared for. I currently offer house sitting with pets and would be honored to care for your dog or cat like they’re part of my own family while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and creating a safe, comfortable experience where they feel happy and cared for. I am available outside the hours of 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, with availability for early morning check-ins, afternoon visits, and evening care after 3:30 PM. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and dog or cat sitting, with weekend availability when scheduled in advance. I understand how important routine, attention, and consistency are for pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and respect I would give my own. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routines while you’re away. I will carefully follow your instructions, respect your space, and provide the same patience and attention I would want for my own pets. During visits and house sitting, I focus on companionship, playtime, and helping your pet feel safe and cared for. For walks, I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine and take them on routes you approve of, where they feel comfortable. I’m happy to provide updates at whatever frequency works best for you, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is receiving thoughtful, dependable care.

About: Lifelong animal lover based in Ventura. I’ve had small dogs my entire life (two currently!) and have cared for three long-lived cats over the years. I’m reliable, calm, and attentive with both energetic and more independent pets. Comfortable with senior pets, medications, and detailed care routines. Available for walks and drop‑ins. Serving Downtown, Midtown, and beach areas. I'm semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. I'm able to do multiple visits a day and I am often available last-minute. Time of day/evening/night also flexible. At home, my two rescue pups, Lucy and Ethel, have pretty free run. They usually sleep on my bed and are never far away when I’m relaxing on the sofa. When caring for clients’ pets, I aim to provide the same consistency and comfort they’re used to, following your routines and preferences as closely as possible.

About: Hi, I’m a passionate pet sitter and walker with years of experience mostly interested in caring for small dogs and cats, like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, Yorkies, and papillons. For small dogs, I provide calm, one-on-one walks tailored to their pace, reading body language (lip licks, tucked tails) and using positive methods to build confidence and leash manners. For cats, I handle play sessions, enrichment, litter care, meds, and cuddles to keep them stress-free and happy. Clients love my detailed photo updates, punctuality, and family-like care. If you need expert care for your small dog or cat, let’s connect! I’m working part time and have a cat of my own! I’m also in school for nursing! I have lots of free time on Sundays and Mondays! Whether you’re going away for the weekend or need some help while you’re working! I workout and go for lots of runs! Itll be easy for me to keep up with the animals and help them get their energy out! I also don’t mind relaxing with them and helping them manage any anxiety they may have.

About: Hi I’m Jen! Have cared for dogs and cats many times as well as other furry friends and reptiles. Grew up with a variety of pets and am a cat lover- I have been called the cat whisperer as even shy, slow to warm up cats have warmed up to me. Love all furry friends as well. And very much enjoy and appreciate spending time with a sweet pup who loves affection too. Ask about my first time special house sit rates or multiple cat special rates. I’m in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. currently though I get out to the east coast regularly too. And will be visiting Europe later this year/next year. I enjoy travel and have lived overseas for a couple years as an English teacher. Open to extended sits. I enjoy learning about the history, art and culture of new places. Let me know if you have flexible dates/are considering a trip and would be glad to work something out with you!

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with a strong background in animal care. I studied Animal Science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I gained hands-on experience in animal behavior, health, handling, and basic veterinary care. Although I now work full-time in biotech, caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I have a friendly dog named Sunny who loves meeting new dogs and enjoys having playmates. During the workweek, I'm away from home for about eight hours a day, so I believe it's important to be transparent about my schedule. Before and after work, Sunny and I go on walks or hikes to make sure he gets plenty of exercise, and your pup will too! On weekends, I'm home much more and can provide lots of attention, playtime, and companionship. My home has a large, secure backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. When I'm home, I love spending quality time with the dogs in my care, whether that's playing fetch, relaxing together, or heading out for an adventure. I've previously provided pet care through Rover, have cared for my family's pets for years, and have experience with a variety of animals and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'm happy to follow your routines and instructions to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they're part of my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I do work full-time, but I have a big dog myself, and I have to make sure that he is taken care of so your dog will fit right into my schedule with my fur baby. In my apartment my dog is not in a crate so he roams free all day therefore the apartment is very pet friendly. Your pet will get the most attention from me and my pup and probably lots of cuddles (if they want!)

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 15. I’ve taken care of both senior dogs, and puppies. My family has a rescue dog (that I don't live with at the moment), and was raised taking care of her in all seasons of life. I work from home most days. I live close to a walking trail and near a park that I would be happy to take your pet to for the bathroom and to let off some energy. My apartment is clean and has a fenced in balcony. I live near several green spaces and large fields where dogs are welcome to run around, let out energy, or go to the bathroom. I also live near lots of walking trails. I am familiar with crating but am happy to have your pet roaming the house if that is preferred.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ventura on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 914 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ventura. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
