About: I offer one-on-one attention: no rushing, no multitasking, just your pet. If your pet is a pup/kitten, senior or any age in between, your loved one will receive the utmost care, patience, gentleness and consistency. From our very first meet and greet, I focus on learning your pet's specific routine, quirks, and comfort cues, so that by the time a booking starts, they're not just "watched," they're understood. Every visit, whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended stay, your pet gets the same undivided attention. My love for animals started young, growing up in a house full of pets — dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, and fish — which taught me early on that every creature has its own personality and needs. A couple of notes: I currently care for dogs up to 40lbs, and I require a meet and greet before every booking, no exceptions — it's how I make sure your pet feels safe with me from day one. Ask for VIP services include mail and delivery package pickups, coordinating pet care directly with live in house manager, etc. Fully fluent in English and Spanish. Service areas include Greater Los Angeles, UCLA area, DTLA, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel-Air, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and Ventura. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.

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.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. I have taken care of different animals since I was a little girl. I have a lot of experience with large and small animals. 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. I am a very active person myself, which is why I enjoying walking dogs so much.
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.
“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!!”
“great communication, patience and care. Very trustworthy. I felt very comfortable allowing her into my home to watch my dog. I didn’t want to take him out of his comfort zone. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Shannon was amazing with my cats! They both loved her, even the shy one who normally hides from all new people. She sent detailed updates and photos for every visit, and definitely gave them plenty of attention. Will definitely book again!”
“Kelsey helped care for our dog Jonathan while I was away on a work trip in Chicago. She was thorough, communicative, and always punctual. Most importantly, Jonathan absolutely loves seeing her and is always happy when she comes by. Thank you, Kelsey!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, but truly love all pets! I started pet sitting when I was about 12 for my neighbor. Since moving from home, I have had various dog sitting and dog walking jobs. I love any type or size of pet, and would absolutely love to care for yours! I am unavailable Monday through Thursday form 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm. Any time outside of that block, I am happy to help! From my childhood home, my dogs have always have free-reign of the house and backyard. They tend to chose the backyard more when it's not too hot. In my current place of residence, I cannot board pets of any kind.
“Waverly is awesome! You can tell she loves animals and is kind and super communicative!! I got tons of pictures and she was on time for everything and most importantly-wonderful to our animals! So thankful to have found her!”
“Denise was a 10/10 cat sitter. She was extra communicative, gave us very detailed updates from her visits, and was very respectful of our house. She’s also super sweet and friendly. Would definitely book her again!”
“Lori took good care of my cat while I was away for a couple of days. I appreciated her sending me updates and photos after her drop-in visits. My feeding program is a bit complicated due to my cat's tendency to “scarf and barf,” so I have him on frequent small meals with the help of automatic feeders. Lori caught on to the feeding program well. She was reliable, prompt and my shy cat immediately liked her! I would recommend her as a cat sitter and would be pleased to have her help with my cat again in the future.”
“Leanna and Julio took on the task of drop in/feeding for 3 very energetic and vocal dogs while we attended an event. All dogs looked happy in the photos we received, what more can we ask for! Thanks again guys!”

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.

I needed at add an additional day and she accepted in less than 5 minutes. There is so much comfort leaving my cat knowing Lilly is there to keep my cat happy, healthy, and get tons of love. Also the photos Lilly sends are absolutely adorable from a cat parent perspective. I'll keep recommending Lilly as much as I possibly can.
Ashley is friendly and outgoing and very sweet. During my 4 day trip she sent me regular updates and videos and i felt my cats were in good hands. She was reliable and after my return my cats were very regulated and didn't seem to have missed me that much. Thank you, Ashley!
We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter! She took such great care of our cats and was very caring, gentle, and attentive to them. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care while we were away. She kept us updated and took care of everything so well. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of our cats again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ventura on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:

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.
