“Cait and Kirk stayed in our home for two weeks with our cat and dog. We feel so lucky to have found them - They took such great care of our animals and our home! Cait sent photo updates and provided little snippets about what the animals had been up to throughout the week. We were so worried about leaving the animals for two whole weeks (specially during the holidays) and Cait/Kirk exceeded our expectations! They spent time playing with them, giving them extra attention, and assuring they felt safe/comfortable with their individual personalities. We would highly recommend booking them and trusting them with your pets! Addie and Kora miss them already.”
“We have an elderly kitty who takes meds twice a day and gets stressed when left alone for any length of time. We came home to a happy, stress free kitty and a clean house. Having Alex stay and take care of our kitty made it so we could truly enjoy our vacation. Knowing you have someone you can trust in your home who is going to take care of your fur baby as if they were their own is so comforting. We are so grateful to have found Alex and will definitely use her again!”
“1st time using Carson. 3 days before we left on vacation, one of our pups was diagnosed with Diabetes and had to start taking shots. Didn't faze Carson. Jumped right in kept him on schedule. Carson did a fantastic job with our 2 pups and we thank her very very much!”
“Jordan was phenomenal! He met with us prior to our trip, and then followed through with everything we had asked of him. We will be sure to use him for our two dogs for any future vacation we have!”
“Simone took excellent care of Leo while we were away giving him all the love and attention he could possibly need. She provided updates throughout and lots of pictures and videos too.”
About: i have always loved all animals, especially dogs. Growing up we always had animals at our house, and I was always in charge of taking care of them, bathing them and playing with them. I went to school for pre-vet but after graduation I decided to pursue a graduate degree instead of a vet degree. Nevertheless, my love and passion for taking care of animals never faded. My senior year of college I got my first, fully mine, puppy. She is the light of my world, and I have learned so much from her. She has grown with me. I got her when she was only 6mo old, trained her and now people ask me how I trained her so well. She is now 5yrs old and she is the best dog ever. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own. I do have a full-time job (Monday-friday, 7am-4pm) but I am free the rest of the day, my dog, Zoey, would love another dog to play with while I am gone! She is very well behaved. During the weekends I would be 100% available to watch the dogs all day if necessary. I do live in an apartment complex but i usually take Zoey on walks at least 3 times a day so I would be more than happy to do the same for your furbaby. If you need me to go to your house, I will always let you know when I arrive and when I leave. Zoey is not crate trained but if you need me to have a crate for your dog, I have one at home. I will make sure to send you pictures throughout the day and make you as comfortable and happy with the way I care for your babies :).
“We are so grateful Jessi B. was able to sit our 2 dogs in our home. She treated our dogs great, kept us updated of their daily adventures with pictures, and was so respectful of our home. We will definitely use her again!”
“Eaten is an absolutely awesome sitter! I can't recommend her enough. She was great with Maggie and took great care of her. I got updates and everything went so smoothly. I will absolutely have Caten hang out with Maggie again.”
“Emily was great! She stayed at our house with Luna for a week and we had regular photos and communication from her. No complaints whatsoever and we would definitely use her again!”

About: I’m a college student who’s majoring in poultry science. has all ways grown up with dogs as well as cats. I’m looking to dog sit and provide great care to someone else’s pet. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs. I’ve also taken care of multiple cats. For taking care of dogs I like to take them on long walks,play fetch, give them lots of attention and make sure they aren’t lonely. For cats to like to make sure they get attention to if they want it and play with them if they like to play. I also like to send updates of how the pets are doing as well as pictures. With me your pets and home will always be safe and cared for.
“Charles was an excellent dog sitter! He was able to help us out for a last minute request. He kept me informed of what was going on with Jax and sent pictures daily. He also left the house in excellent condition. Would highly recommend and definitely will be using again 😊”
About: I’m a happy owner of two bulldog mixed girls and one orange male feline. I have taught the girls to swim and walk without a lead. I care for and love our furry family. Our big girl is getting old so exercise is too much for her. Our pets take care of each other by licking eyes and ears. Our cat doesn’t use a litter box instead will go outside. I’ve needed a trusting person to look over our animals and found this through Rover so I thought I’d return the favor during summer time. Looking forward to hearing from you. Household duties at your home are negotiable. They should like other animals if they stay with us. Please bring any comfort items or food
“Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Osage Mills is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $71 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Osage Mills 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 Osage Mills 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 Osage Mills 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
