“Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She came to meet us and Yumi before our trip. She was prompt and responsive as well. Would definitely recommend her and hope to have her sit for Yumi again on our next trips!”


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 was raised learning how to train dogs in obedience. My dad showed Rottweilers, min pinchers, mastiff, bulldog, and Great Danes. I enjoy working with and being around dogs I work full time close to home. I let my dog out for a lunch walk and if needed I have a break that I can head home to let her out again. I have a very friendly dog (cavalier) who is welcoming and part of the family. She will show your pup around the house and be part of our family.
About: I am hyper-attuned to your dog's needs ensuring your pets sense of trust and well-being is secure. Showing up and being present is my priority! I work primarily from home, and my schedule is flexible from the morning to early evening time, making it easy to schedule service times that work conveniently with your schedule and pet needs. Routines and consistency are important to ensuring a dog's sense of the world and trust because they can anticipate what to expect each day. With my own dogs, I wake up and take them for a jog first thing in every morning. The routine accompanied with the daily exercise makes for very happy, well-behaved and content dogs. I will bring that same perspective to your pet's life. Additionally, I am a long time Rover customer and when I was single and working 9-5, I relied heavily on my dog walker and sitter to show up daily, on time, in a loving, attentive way. For those of you who are away from your pets for long periods, please know that I understand the importance of being that consistent person in their life who shows up on time and meets their needs in your absence. Being a Rover walker and drop-in visitor is my way of giving back and saying thank you for all those who supported my pups for so many years!
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: Experienced in caring for senior cats and dogs, especially pets that need medicine or have mobility issues. Grew up in a house with lots of pets including ducks, chickens and fish. Please note that I NO longer sit/walk dogs over 40lbs, no exceptions. 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 for 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.
“Diana was awesome and took care of my cat Moka. Unfortunately Moka made a mess near her cat litter, but Diana cleaned it up and checked to make sure she was ok. She is also is very thorough and kept me up to date each time she came to see my cat.”

About: "I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert."

I am available for both weekday and weekend bookings, ensuring consistent, reliable care so your fur babies never miss a beat while you're away. I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for.

My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.

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.
“Kelsey dropped in and cared for our cat while we were on a cruise. We were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand which gave us peace of mind. Kelsey sent a lot of pictures of our cat which we appreciated. Kelsey was very attentive to our cats needs, highly recommend!”

About: When I was young, I spent time in my grandfather’s farm playing with dogs, cows, pigs, horses, and chickens. We take care of dogs in my community, and we also look after a bunny. I am currently studying a Health Coach Program in Holistic Nutrition virtually so, I am flexible on time and days. I love walking and being active. I love going on walks, play with the ball, and keep them active depends on their needs. I can feed them and give medicines if they need.

“Jessica did drop in visits with our sweet cat, Ralph for a week while we were out of town. Ralph is very much of a dog like kind of cat that gets lonely and needy for love and cuddles so it's always so hard leaving him. We could not ask for a better person to spend time with our little buddy! Jessica is such a sweet and kind person, I knew right away I had found a perfect match for us. This is going to sounds crazy, but our cat can pick up on "high strung" or "anxious" types of personalities so he isn't always as comfortable with those kinds of people.. we know from certain family members interacting with him lol! But Jessica is honestly such a sweet soul and mellow personality that I knew Ralph would instantly connect and feel comfortable with her & he totally did!! We will absolutely be asking Jessica to sit with him from now on whenever we need someone! She sent several pictures and gave updates, couldn't ask for anything better. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Ralph had someone loving on him while we were gone. We could not thank you enough, Jessica!”

“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: Animals have always been family to me, and after struggling to find reliable care for my own pets, I became that person for others. With 9+ years of experience, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and playful kittens to seniors needing extra support. I’m skilled in administering medications including insulin, steroids, allergy treatments, and subcutaneous fluids. I currently care for my own special-needs cat, so I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Whether it’s maintaining daily routine, giving medications on schedule, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I care for every animal as if they were my own. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. 🐾 I have an open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available to care for your pets any time such as weekdays, weekends, mornings, or evenings. Whether you need daily visits, overnight house sitting, or extended care, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship whenever you need it. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to create a calm, safe, and familiar environment so they feel completely at ease while you’re away. I follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines and medication schedules to walks, playtime, and bedtime habits to keep everything consistent. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Arianna again took great care of Baldwin while we were away. We loved the pictures and reports she sent. We knew she spent good time with him and all his needs were met. We will book her again in the future”

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, including reinforcing basic training, sticking to routines, administering medications, and providing extra patience and care when needed. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind! 🐾💕 I work from home as a Family Photographer, so I am available all day for walks, visits & playtime. I can give medications as well. My family is extremely friendly and gentle with animals. Our home is pet safe, and we have a wonderful fenced-in yard for lots of play.
“Jeniffer (goes by River) did an incredible job with our two cats! This was our first time leaving them alone since we got them and Jennifer made us feel so comfortable and confident that they were in such good hands. When we did our meet & greet with her, our cats immediately loved her and warmed up to her within 2 seconds. Jennifer wrote the best updates and took great pics each day for us, her updates were extremely detailed & cute and made us feel like we were right there with our kitties! You can tell Jeniffer really has a special connection with animals and cares for your pets as if they were her own. We will 100% be rebooking with Jeniffer again in the future!!”

Time and time again, Lilly has proven to the most consistently wonderful cat sitter I have literally ever had. Attentive, responsive, caring, and Lilly goes above and beyond making sure my cat is happy and healthy. If you're reading this, not hiring Lilly would be a loss on you and your pet's comfort.

We couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much, Jennifer! This is the first time we have used this service and Jennifer was perfect. The animals loved her right away. She sent us photos every visit. We felt so secure that our pets were taken care of while we were away. We will definitely book Jennifer again if she’ll have us. We can’t thank you enough!!

Kelsey dropped in and cared for our cat while we were on a cruise. We were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand which gave us peace of mind. Kelsey sent a lot of pictures of our cat which we appreciated. Kelsey was very attentive to our cats needs, highly recommend!

Georgia really saved me at the last minute when I had to leave town for most of the day. I was able to book her late the night before, and she was happy to accommodate and drop in twice to check on my little guy. This was my first time booking a sitter for Otis, and I was nervous since he’s very selective about who he interacts with. He immediately took a liking to her and looked so comfortable, which put my mind at ease. She sent multiple pictures and kept me updated each time she visited. I’d absolutely recommend her and will definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ventura on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 1,996 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ventura. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ventura stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Ventura. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
