Karla was great and we can't thank her enough for taking great care of our cats on short notice. The cats are usually extremely shy around new people and will hide when they come in to the house. But they warmed up to Karla quickly and we got lots of pictures of happy cats being played with and entertained. A+++

Helena was really great with taking care of our cats. She sent notes and pictures daily and is very detailed in her updates and communications. Her daughters were really good with Felix. We felt very comfortable with leaving our cats on her care. Really allowed us to relax during our vacation. Would be happy to refer Helena anytime!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first time working with Kristin, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! 🐱💙🐱💕 From the moment I met her, she had such a gentle, kind demeanor that I immediately felt comfortable trusting her with my two cats, Oreo and Nala. She even started taking notes during our meet-and-greet, which I truly appreciated. Even though I already had detailed written instructions, it showed me that she was prepared, proactive, and genuinely wanted to make sure everything was done perfectly. 📝✨ Kristin followed every instruction carefully and thoroughly, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. The biggest surprise of all was my super shy girl, Nala. She normally takes quite a while to warm up to new people, but by just the second visit she was already out and about hanging out with Kristin! 🥹💕 That is a huge deal and really speaks to how patient, calm, and caring she is with animals. Knowing that Oreo and Nala were comfortable, happy, and so well cared for made my trip so much more enjoyable. This was such a wonderful first experience that I’ve already booked future visits with Kristin! 🐾❤️ I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, attentive pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of my babies! 🥰

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, frogs, birds, lizards, a ferret, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. My last pet was a cat, and even though I don’t currently have pets, I truly enjoy being around them. I’ve owned dogs all of my life and have had several breeds over the years including pitbulls, a Boston Terrier, a French Bulldog, and a Boxer, so I am very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I have walked and cared for both of my aunts dogs. My one aunt has a French Bulldog and the other has a mastiff, and I always made sure they were fed, let out, and comfortable. I also cared for a pitbull while babysitting, handling his feeding, bathroom breaks, and daily routine. Dogs are my specialty because I have the most hands on experience with them, but I enjoy caring for all pets. I am responsible, patient, and confident with many different breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I also plan on getting a red eared slider turtle soon because I love learning about and caring for different types of animals. I am currently on summer vacation, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. When the fall semester starts, my classes will only be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which keeps my schedule very open. I am available from 6 am to 3 pm to take care of your pets, and I make sure to plan my day around giving them the attention and care they need. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely to make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. I pay attention to details like feeding times, bathroom breaks, and keeping their space clean. I take my time with each pet so they never feel rushed or stressed, and I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure. My goal is to create a calm and trustworthy environment so your pets feel relaxed and well cared for while you are away.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship. I’m very attentive when it comes to routines, comfort, and I always prioritize safety and patience. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s beloved animal. I’m open to caring for pets of any age or disability, and providing as much attention as needed. I have a college classes(online and face to face) throughout the week and a part time job( mainly 10-15 hours) but i mainly stay at home so i am able to pay attention to your pet at all times. If you’re comfortable with it i love to take them with me for small errands or nice views just so they are not left alone at home. I live in a very walkable town. Your pet will be able to roam freely around the house if needed, and/or have their own space if they are shy. I’m capable of moving things around for comfortability. Pets will never be left unattended for long periods of time. I don’t own additional dogs or cats but i have rabbits kept in their own secure caged space. I can and WILL follow all care instructions. I would be happy to provide updates and photos at any time.

About: I believe that pets need individualized attention and needs. I ensure that senior pets receive the gentle care and attention they need, whether it's administering medication or simply providing companionship. I'm also attentive to each pet's individual needs and personalities, which helps create a comfortable and loving environment for them. This combination of skills allows me to cater to a wide range of pets and ensure they feel secure and happy while in my care. If you have any specific questions or would like to know more, feel free to ask. I am currently doing this full time so your pet will have my undivided attention. I will be able to take them for walks, play in my enclosed backyard and make sure all theirs needs are taken cared of. I have a fenced in yard. I have an entire home where your pet will be able to roam freely around and find there spot!

About: Hi! My name is Drew & I live in Rockville Centre. I started on rover almost 14 years ago petsitting full time, staying in people's homes with their pets while they traveled. I did this all through college and loved it so much I decided to turn it into my full-time business! I have recently re-activated my account after moving to Rockville centre and being able to take in new dogs, cats and their families! Several of the families that I began pet sitting for over a decade ago that wrote reviews back in 2014 I still pet sit for today! I love dogs and all animals and treat them like they are part of my own family. I have experience watching dogs of all different breeds, ages, temperaments, & special needs. My own dog, my bulldog named Remy, is fully blind. I am available for pet sitting in your home while you go away for either overnights or visits. I am very flexible, patient and experienced and look forward to meeting new pups and their owners! I like to pet sit for your pups on your schedule and I am pretty flexible. I love to follow your pets normal schedule, wake up times, activities etc so they are as comfortable as possible while you're away. I am able to spend a lot of time with your dog. I can provide multiple references from throughout the years and I also will always be available for you to contact while you're away. I will send you frequent updates and pictures as well.

Marissa watched our cat for one week and she is amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and it couldn’t have gone better. If you’re on here and you’re not sure who to reach out to, reach out to Marissa! She is responsible, trustworthy and kind. We did an initial meet and greet at my house, and she asked great questions about my cat’s care that even I didn’t think about. She arrived at the same time everyday and sent me the cutest pictures of him. They clearly bonded. Marissa also works in the veterinary field which is great. I will definitely book her again during future trips!

Stephanie took great care of my two cats, Oreo and Nala, while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure their routines were kept consistent, which I really appreciated. Oreo is a social butterfly and enjoyed her company right away. What impressed me most was seeing my shy girl Nala slowly come out of her shell. By the last couple of visits she was rubbing against Stephanie and even allowing pets, which is a big deal for her. That alone speaks volumes to me. Stephanie also shared photos during the visits and kept things running smoothly while I was gone. I’m grateful that I was able to relax on my trip knowing my cats were being looked after, and came home to two happy kitties. Thank you again, Stephanie! 🐱

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Oceanside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oceanside on Rover is $27.27 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 11,329 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oceanside. 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 Oceanside. 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.
