Jessica is awesome! My dog loves her and so do my cats. She is punctual and attentive. She has given me suggestions to help with Gator and we have taken her advice and Gator is doing great. We have him out of the crate which makes me extremely happy all because of Jessica.

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

About: Experienced pet sitter reactivating my profile due to new flexible schedule! I’ve cared for all sorts of pets, ranging from senior dogs to active puppies. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats in total (including one blind + deaf senior dog). With one indoor cat currently, I really miss having dogs around! I’d love to care for your pet while you’re away, or show them some love with a walk. It would make me just as happy as it makes them. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I am available and ready to care for your beloved pet, whether it’s a cat or dog! For pet sitting, I will ensure your pets belly is full, is given a walk and plenty of water, will be let out to go potty, and will get plenty of attention while you’re away!

About: I love all animals! I am very patient and engaging with dogs and cats. I believe our pets are part of the family and I just want to make your loved one feel special and happy during the time that you are away. I cared for my beagle for a long time he has since gone to the large rainbow in the sky. I frequently dog sit and cat sit for my friends and family. I specialize in giving medication to cats and dogs. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, picky eaters and older dogs and cats as well. Safety is priority when it comes down to it. I would not do anything that will harm or make your pet feel uncomfortable. I would love to take care of your furry friend and make them feel right at home! I am on my going back to school journey. I am currently a student at OCC and I attended classes once a week to allow myself to work part time as a house cleaner,a care taker and of course here on Rover. I am going to school to become a nurse. Only 2 more classes until nursing school! I'm pretty flexible let me know what time works best to me and we can figure it out! I have a large backyard and a friendly adult cat he gets along well with other dogs after a meetup up. He loves people as well.

About: I’ve grown up with my own dogs to take care of as well as helping friends with their pets. If someone was to take care of my dog, I’d want them to be loving, responsible, and friendly and that’s exactly how I’d be with your pup! I’m here to help you out, so you just have to let me know when :) I work full time 8-4, Monday to Friday. Any time after my work hours I can help. And I can do any day or time on the weekends if I’m available. If you have a fence, I’m triple checking that it’s locked before we play outside. And making sure their bed is as comfy as mine is only fair!

I will schedule another service when I have to be away from home again!

About: I provide dependable, loving care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always focus on safety, comfort, exercise, and personalized attention during every walk or visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and walk everyday regardless as fitness is a part of my routine. Due to being in college at Ocean County I have plenty of time on my hands to give to help a busy pet parent out and help pay for school. Im flexible, dependable, and able to give pets consistent attention, care, and special treatment given owners request. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, respect the owner’s instructions, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I've worked with dogs of all personalities - from high energy pups that love long walks to more laid-back or senior dogs who need patience and extra love. I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, and always do so with care to keep pets calm and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, behavior, and comfort so they feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they're with family, not just a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, not just something I do on the side. I build my daily routine around the pets I'm caring for, making sure they get the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I'm consistent, dependable, and always make time to stick to each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy. I care for pets in their home just like you would - keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet's needs and personality so they feel at ease while you're away. I'm respectful of your home, keep things clean, and always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

I contacted Haley very last minute when I had to go to East Tennessee for an emergency. By last minute I mean she was at my house within the hour. She kept me thoroughly updated and took great care of my fur babies, and left my house just as it was. I'd highly recommend Haley for your pet sitting!

Jessica was absolutely wonderful! I would definitely book her again. She watched our two cats. I felt very comfortable and confident in her when we did our initial meet and greet. Some people just have a way with animals and she is one of them. She asked questions i didnt even think of. While watching them she gave us such detailed updates and so many amazing photos. She even brought a toy over for the cats. So sweet. On top of that I accidentally booked her for the wrong days and she was so understanding and flexible and able to change at the last second. Thank you Jess for caring for my cats so much

Ashley was a great pet sitter for my kitty Puff. She was very friendly and nice to Puff. Ashley did a really good job of keeping Puff well fed and watered. Great communication also. I would definitely have her care for Puff on my next trip. Highly recommend Ashley to all who need a pet sitter.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ocean Gate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ocean Gate on Rover is $33.81 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 721 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ocean Gate. 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 Ocean Gate. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.

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.
