Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.

Heather has been an occasional caregiver for our puppy, Jerry and our cat, Lola for the last 4 months. She was the first person to puppy sit for Jerry after we got him, and we are so glad that we found her through Rover! Heather assists with last minute dog walks, holiday pet sitting for the cat, as well as drop-ins. She is consistently reliable, and we've always felt 100% comfortable leaving her to care for the pets. We are so happy that she lives just down the road and will definitely be using her for future pet sitting!

About: I grew up with dogs. A dog, sometimes two or three, was always in our house and a part of my family. I’ve been around dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, understanding each one is unique and needs certain care. I have helped train a chocolate lab (a very energetic boy named Brody) from a puppy. I understand dogs are a part of your family and will provide that love and care towards them. I care for my two cats, Avy and Moose along with my partner. Since we share responsibilities of our cats and my 9-5 job is remote I am able to schedule sits and walks regularly. My girlfriend and I currently have two cats who are a part of our everyday lives. They like to wake us up and sun bath by the windows. We love them

About: Dogs have always been part of my family, and I love building trust with each one I meet. I’m comfortable caring for pups of any age or temperament and make sure they get the perfect mix of exercise, attention, and affection. I share my home with four cats, so I’m experienced with managing different personalities. I’m reliable, observant, and always send updates so you can feel at ease. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I can easily schedule walks, visits, and feedings around my calls and make sure your pets get the attention and companionship they deserve. I’ve always lived with animals — all rescues! I currently share my home with four cats, including one who’s deaf, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I provide a calm, safe environment and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel secure and loved while you’re away.

About: I'm looking for dogs and cats to keep me company. I love to go for long walks and am used to having pets around me all the time. I travel frequently, so I am not a good fit for someone looking for consistent availability. I've spent the past few years pet sitting while traveling around North America and Europe. I've house sat in mansions with household staff as well as rustic off-grid homesteads. I've done well over 100 house sits, some of which were several months long. Before I became a pet sitter, I had my own cats, one of whom had diabetes. Before I bought my own home, I took care of my roommate's dogs. I grew up on a dahlia farm in Wall, NJ, where we had lots of dogs and cats over the years. In addition to Rover's background check, I've passed background checks to move to Portugal in 2022, become a Canadian citizen in 2022, work with vulnerable people in Canada in 2021, and move to Canada in 2015. I work remotely for a small nonprofit where I have a flexible schedule. This makes it easy for me to keep your pets on their usual routine. I'm a very tidy person. Over the years I've had all sorts of things come up while pet sitting, so I'm confident that I can manage whatever happens.

From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I treat every dog like a member of the family! I have had dogs my entire life and love playing, walking and just being around their energy! I am a mother of 3 children and I have always loved animals. We always had dogs while the children were growing up. I am a very active and love to interact with the dogs. Being around their whimsical, curious, playful manner just makes me smile. I like to keep active and love being outdoors in nature. I offer weekday morning and afternoon walks in the Asbury Park and Allenhurst area, perfect for pups who need some exercise, fresh air, or just a mid-day break while you are at work. Whether your dog is high energy and needs a good paced walk or prefers to take it slow and sniff around, I adjust to their pace and personality. I am confident in handling all types of dogs . I will always make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved and well cared for. I have had the pleasure of house sitting in the past and had a precious bond with the dogs I sat for. I will provide dependable, loving care tailored to your dog's unique needs. My schedule is very flexible and allows me to adjust accordingly. I am available for morning and afternoon walks. during the week. I am also available to house sit as needed. I offer in home pet and house sitting services so your pets can stay safe, happy and relaxed in their own familiar environment while you are away. I provide feeding, walking, playtime, medication (if needed) but most importantly companionship and love while you are gone. While staying at your home I will treat it with total respect. I will keep things clean and I am happy to do small tasks, like watering plants or bringing in the mail. I am reliable, calm and a very caring person, someone both you and your pets can feel at ease with. Would love to schedule a meet and greet, I'd love to care for your home and your pets!

About: My name is Alexis. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and caring for pets is something that truly makes me happy. Friends and family have trusted me for years to walk, sit, and love their pets, and I always treat each one like they’re part of my own family. I do volunteer work three times a week and work from home. My day can be filled with caring for pets due to my free time and ability to make my own schedule. I have an apartment in a community with a fenced yard and it’s pet friendly. My apartment is large and I have lots of toys to play with.

About: I became a cat lover later in life, taking in a stray after a snow storm on Christmas day. Prior to that I was a self-described dog person. Now, I love cats and dogs equally as they both have special traits. I've had two family dogs during my childhood, and two during adulthood. I've dog-sat for a friend's senior dog during their summer vacations, and I've cat-sat for my sister's family cat, feeding, administering insulin shots, and giving him a little love. I trained my parents' nervous rescue dog to walk on a leash (taking months of patience!). I would love to walk or sit your family pet while you're at work, away for the weekend, or on vacation. As a school teacher, my summer schedule is flexible. For the summer, I have a flexible schedule and I can accommodate various times. We can work out a schedule based on your pet's needs. I can care for your cat in your home or in my home (I have one friendly mature cat). I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, or dog sit in your home.

Emily was excellent! She did 2 drop by visits for my cat, Jimmy, while I was on a work trip. She sent me lots of pictures and videos and would update me on how much food he ate from the day prior. She was always a few minutes early and was even considerate enough to offer to bring in a package I had delivered. Thank you so much Emily! Jimbo and the rest of the crew will be seeing you soon!

This is my second time booking with Anahi, and it’s been another great experience. She is highly communicative, very loving and attentive to my cat, and from the pics I get, he is clearly in love with her. I had concerns about being away during the winter storm, and both Anahi’s and Purr’s safety with roads iced over. We worked it out, and all was well. Thank you so much, Anahi! We appreciate you!

This was my first time using Marley to care for my kitties. From the meet and greet to the drop in visits she was really great! My kitties are my babies and I felt 100% comfortable knowing she was going to take great care of them for me. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone who wants top notch care for their fur babies!!

Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter! She did drops ins for my two cats. She washed dirty bowls that my cats used after eating. I thought that was so thoughtful of her to do this. She also took pictures of my pets , the pet food she fed them, as well as the cat pen area that she cleaned, everyday. In addition, she came over the day it was supposed to snow, on very short notice, for additional drop in visits. I asked her if she could do drops ins the day before, for this day. And even though it was short notice for this additional booking, she agreed to do the drop ins. I was relieved to not have to travel back home, an hour away, in inclement weather, the next day. I am so grateful for her hard work and for excepting my last minute booking, without much prior notice. Melissa is a reliable , flexible and kind pet sitter! I highly recommend her!

This was our first time leaving our cats for a long weekend, and Elizabeth made the experience completely stress-free! She followed our feeding instructions perfectly, gave the kitties plenty of playtime, and even earned the trust of our shy boy—no small feat. Her calm, caring energy was exactly what they needed, and it was clear they adored her. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to any cat families looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ocean Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ocean Grove on Rover is $24.24 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 8,476 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ocean Grove. 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 Grove. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
