“Laura housesat for my 2 dogs and 2 cats while my family was on vacation. She was absolutely fantastic! Through both her updates & questions regarding our pets it was abundantly clear how much she cares. I could not have found anyone more responsible or dedicated to take care of my fur family!!”
About: I am a lifelong pet owner, having been raised surrounded by animals. That being said, I always helped to take care of our pets since I was a young kid. Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snails, crabs; you name it, I've raised it. I love animals and love to care for them. I am athletic so I am great at keeping up with even the most energetic pets! I would love to be of service to anyone who may need me. I have also petsit and dogwalked for others privately for pay before this, so I have proper experience as well beyond my personal life. I work from home and varying hours between 3-8 pm on Mon-Fri (Usually only 2-4 hours in the studio at a time), so I have plenty of free time for care! I have experience with free-roaming pets of all kinds, as well as cage-training and homes with limited areas the animal is meant to stay in, so I have no trouble remembering these things. I can send regular updates if requested, including photos!
About: I've always grown up surrounded by dogs, whether that was in my own household or around family. On my way to become a veterinarian, I continuously care for my own dogs, my neighbors dogs and spend my time volunteering at an animal shelter nearby, Father Johns, and ensure the health and safety of all ages of dogs. I am super excited to continue dog walking and care for your pets needs! I am currently a full time student at UD so classes may interfere but I am open to discussing times to care for your pet! Throughout my life, I've had years of experience with large dogs, senior dogs, puppies, etc. I have also had experience with many different behaviors of dogs and understand it can be hard to meet a fresh face. I will carefully comfort your pet, and introduce myself in a calm manner to ensure the safety of your pet and myself, so your pet can have a fun, relaxing time!
“I can’t say enough good things about Jill! She took amazing care of my three large dogs, and I could tell right away that they felt comfortable and happy around her. It’s not easy managing three pups with different personalities and needs, but Jill handled it all with such ease, patience, and love. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, the dogs were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. Jill is responsible, trustworthy, and truly has a heart for animals. I’m so grateful we found her, she’s a total gem and we can’t wait to book her again! 🐾”
About: I've always had pets growing up and cared for strays. I was always trying to bring a new pet home! I'm the one you will see stopped in the middle of the road stopping traffic to help a turtle cross. I will always try to help any animal in need. I currently have a very flexible schedule so I can be available for your pets based on their needs. I'm available most weekends and holidays. I can also help out last minute to feed, walk and play for those times when the unexpected comes up. I'm honest and responsible and will take care and respect your home and privacy at all times. I'm also happy to discuss light housekeeping and chores on a case by case basis.
“Kimberly was wonderful with our two pups Teddi and Bear! She was so knowledgeable with our 9 week old puppy. She updated us very frequently and was very professional. Thank you so much!”
“Eva did an amazing job watching our pup! She was very responsive and adaptable. She took great care of our rambunctious 5 month old puppy for a weekend! She sent lots of updates and pictures and we came home to a very very happy puppy! Can't say enough good things!”
About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was born. I know how to make them happy and I’ll treat them how I treat my own dogs no matter what. I also have a lot of energy so I’ll make sure your dogs have someone to play with but also someone to lay with after I have football practice In the mornings from 630 to 10 everyday except Sunday. During the week days my brother has camp but if I get a job he would go with my mom after so I’ll be able to stay however long you need me I’ll feed them when needed and let them out when needed I’ll make sure they stay hydrated and I’ll play with them and keep them active throughout the day while also allowing them to relax and calm down if needed I can bring toys leash bowls and treats
“Ashley was wonderful to come out of her service area to care for my aging St. Bernard when my other sitter cancelled at the last minute...not only that, she came out early to meet Finn so that he'd recognize her when she came to stay. Finn was very well cared for --Ashley saw that he got through the hot summer day in comfort. She also kindly shared a few shots of Finn during her stay. I recommend Ashley as being kind, professional and a great communicator.”
“Alyssa was great - she communicated throughout her stay at our home and took excellent care of all 5 of my babies! She took wonderful care of not just the pets, but of our home and it felt like we had never left when we returned. We will definitely use her again and again!”
“Christina did a great job with my dogs and taking care of the house while we were away. She provided updates and was easy to keep in contact with. She also left the house clean and neat with extra touches she provided.”

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ogdensburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ogdensburg on Rover is $79.17 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,004 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ogdensburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ogdensburg walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ogdensburg maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ogdensburg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
