About: I go to the barn to ride horses 5 days a week and my dogs go with me everyday. I have a huge safe pen where they sleep and play for 3 to 4 hours a day.

“Megan was available to come walk my dog for me last minute as I was in a bind which was so helpful since I work 45mins away from home. She let me know how she did on the first day which relieved a lot of my dog mom anxiety as my dog is a bit anxious/shy with new people.”
“Karli made my first Rover experience seamless and stress free, despite me having to book short notice when my normal gal called in sick. I was so appreciative of her flexibility to help me make it work and she was so sweet and thorough. She even made sure my cats got some attention during her visits which just shows how much she loves animals. I will definitely reach back out to Karli if I need any help in the future!”
“First time booking Adam and he was great! He walked my dog everyday for a week. Adam is professional, a great communicator and wonderful with my dog. Highly recommend his services.”
“Rachel is the best!! She’s responsive and caring. Our dog loved her and had the best time on their walks together. She provided multiple photos from each walk and included notes. We will definitely be asking Rachel to walk our dog again!”

I am looking for some opportunities to walk and care take for animals around my part time job! I am available for some full days or small gigs! In my own apartment with hardwood flooring, there is space for small-medium sized dogs to get their energy out. Daily walks near the beach are a must at our place!

About: *Use code CAROLG31006 for $20 credit on first booking* Hello! I'm Darlene! My family and friends also call me Caroline, so feel free to use either name. I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and grew up with three dogs—a Husky, Chow Chow, and Cocker Spaniel—so I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and consistent communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule.

“Nikki is amazing! She was responsive and communicated very well before, during and after the stay. She followed all instructions well, and went above and beyond to spend more time with Kodi and help him during his walk when he was a little nervous. You can tell she has a great love of animals and passion for this, and our doggy was happy and well when we returned. We would highly recommend Nikki and would gladly have her take care of Kodi again next time we needed it.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love them (sometimes more than people haha). Breeders have trusted me to nurse their dogs and puppies back to health, and I have experience caring for both young puppies and senior dogs with special needs. Since my latest beloved dogs, Jacques and Jinger, passed on, I have found so much joy in welcoming other wonderful animals into our lives. We are a young couple living in the heart of Oceanside, CA, within a very pet friendly community. A dog beach and walkable city area are nearby in addition to trails and parks, and we enjoy exploring with our visiting pals. As a professional photographer, I also often enjoy taking and sharing free, high quality photos of our furry friends, in addition to the usual updates with phone snaps that I send during our time together. It is our general rule to only care for one family at a time, so your pet will have the exclusive attention and focus while in my care, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Every dog is not just a dog but a member of the family. I understand every animal has their own personality and individual needs, and I would love to take care of, play, walk, and love on yours and hope to become their friend. I work mostly from home and love caring for dog friends on my available days. I only host pets from one family at a time to make sure each visitor receives the best care and attention during their stay with us. For walks or drop-in visits my schedule is quite flexible. If a pup is with me for the day we will likely do a good amount of walking and play, I'll ensure they are provided water and any other details for their care is followed, and we'll simply have a fabulous day together :) We live in a very dog-friendly community with walking trails, parks, the ocean, and a dog beach nearby that we love exploring with our visiting pals, (with owner permission of course). Also, an emergency pet hospital is just 5 minutes away if ever needed, though thankfully we have never had to use it.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes for most of my life and would love to have an opportunity to bond with your little or big critter. I have a flexible availability on most weekends and early mornings & evenings on weekdays. As long as we communicate with each other scheduling shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve had personal experience with working and caring for pets with a fenced and un fenced yard. It all depends on the circumstances needed to accommodate your pet.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Oceanside is $25

Kat is great! Bruce has been on two walks with her so far and has had a great time. Kat is extremely responsive and communicative, and we felt totally confident in sending Bruce off with her. She's good at using the app and giving updates, which we appreciate. Bruce seemed so happy when they got back, and we will definitely be booking again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oceanside on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 7,278 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oceanside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
