About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have over 31 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I've raised puppies, cared for adult and senior dogs, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your beloved companion. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra care, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day and evening. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I'm also available for overnight house sitting in your home. I'll make sure your pets receive dependable, loving care and plenty of attention while you're away, keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I do my best to keep their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I'll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully, give them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship, and make sure they have fresh water and a clean environment. I also respect my clients' homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and started helping care for family, friends, and neighbors’ pets when I was around 8 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities—from shy or reactive dogs to dogs that love everyone they meet. I’ve also looked after multiple dogs at the same time and am comfortable handling different energy levels and needs. I’ve cared for cats as well, including both territorial cats and super affectionate ones. I’m comfortable giving medication to cats and dogs and am always willing to learn about the needs of other animals. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. Open to: • Quick walk • Long adventure • A drop-in visit • Overnight care I can usually accommodate a variety of schedules. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels safe and stress-free for them.
About: I’ve started taking care of my neighborhood pets 3 or 4 years ago while they went on vacation and I have been very reliable ever since. My neighbors have referred me to other neighbors as they believe I truly take care of their animals. So far I have taken care of dogs, 7 cats at once, baby chicks, grown chickens, turtles, bunnies, and cats. I always send photos of my customers pets and ask before I do something I am unsure of. I currently am enrolled at the University of California, San Diego! I am in summer break and have lots of time to take care of any of your furballs! Message me so we can set something up! I am not offering day care due to my ungated pool but I will be available to stay at the owners house! I give all my attention to the pets while I am with them and make sure they are safe on their walks. I have handled dogs from all sizes so your energetic or relaxed animals have the perfect sitter!

About: Greetings 👋🏽 My is Roshanda. I am a USMC Veteran. Over the years, I’ve become a trusted, recurring sitter for many families, thanks to my reliability, demeanor, and deep respect for every pet’s unique personality. While I do work full, I offer flexible availability based on the needs of your pet. I’ve cared for energetic kittens, independent cats, playful puppies, and wise senior dogs. I also have experience providing specialized care for pets with disabilities and those who require daily medication or extra attention due to health concerns. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. Let’s schedule a Meet & Greet to see if we’re a good fit! 🐾 While I work full-time on-site, I offer flexible availability based on the needs of your pet. Whether it's early morning drop-ins, midday breaks, evening walks, or overnight stays, I do my best to accommodate your schedule and ensure your pet receives consistent, loving care. Please reach out for a customized schedule that fits your pet(s) needs! The pets that have been entrusted under my supervision were either in their own home or a mutual location. This allows for the pet to be in a familiar environment, as to not disrupt any routines that may have already been established but most importantly allowing them to remain in a safe and trusted location for continued care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oceanside
I had such a great experience with Alanna K! They took amazing care of my dog and spent the day walking him , and took great care of my dog . I really appreciated the communication and the care they put into making sure he got what he needed . My dog came back happy and tired, which is always a great sign! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to take care of their fur baby. 🐶❤️
I am so grateful for Kristina! First... in a sea of bios claiming to love dogs, Kristina's is the only one with experience in the industry, making me comfortable with her knowledge in handling sensitive dogs. I needed a last minute sitter, and Kristina was able to accommodate. My sensitive pup even let her lay in bed with him! I appreciate Kristina's responsiveness, ability to accommodate, experience, and gentle soul! Thank you!
We just moved to the area and we left behind our wonderful rover in our home state, so we were nervous to try a new one here. We feel SO lucky to have found Candace and Tim! They have done a boarding for us and they also did a walk for us. They are amazing with our two pups and we will always be inquiring to book them whenever we need someone to care for them!
Michela is very transparent on her schedule and when she’s available. She informed me about my dog when he wasn’t feeling well so I can take action. My dog isn’t a big fan of a lot of people or other dogs, but he always seems so happy to be on walks with Michaela, who is so trustworthy and kind to my dog. We are so grateful for her help.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Oceanside on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Oceanside. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Oceanside.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oceanside. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
