“Mackenzie stayed with my dog overnight in my apartment and everything went great! She was very communicative and responsible and I felt very comfortable with her at our meet-and-greet. During her stay she sent a photo and provided updates, and she followed all the instructions for Osito’s feeding and walk schedule. My apartment was very clean when I returned and exactly how I left it. I will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her for pet sitting!”
“Heidi did a wonderful job taking care of our elderly dog (Josie) who needs multiple medications at various times of the day. Heidi got the meds into her (not an easy task) without trouble, understood Josie's limitations and worked with them, and quite obviously made much of her. After just a few days, Josie was sleeping on the bed. Heidi also kept us well informed, sent us marvelous photos, and left the house spotless. We'll be calling again.”
“Jenny is a lifesaver and fantastic dog watcher. Not only did I have to leave early for a trip, she was able to come a whole day early! She sends at least 2 updates a day with pictures and my dog LOVES her. She’s watched Rupert twice now and I just mentioned her name and he gets excited. She’s very clean and always has my house freshly spruced when I come home, which is so nice to come home to after a long work trip. I 10/10 recommend Jenny. She’s our new doggy nanny when in Charleston!”
“Elise was fantastic! We have a somewhat challenging situation as our two dogs currently don't get along and have to be separated. Elise was really understanding and hyper aware of the situation, ensuring both dogs would be safe. Our dogs took to her immediately making us feel at ease. She sent a bunch of photos, walked the boys a ton and gave them the attention they needed! She stayed overnight at our house and was very respectful of our home. We will definitely be using Elise for future out of town trips!”
About: I’ve lived my whole life with pets! I grew up with two cats and two dogs. Since I’ve been away at college I’ve dog sat for other friends and family! I just moved to the area! My schedule is very flexible, I have the time to care for your furry friends! I’m fully open during the week and weekends. I am a very attentive person and caring of details of how the pet needs to be cared for. Quality time with pets is my favorite part of caring for them!
“This was our first time using Rover for house sitting. Tara was prompt at responding and made us feel comfortable from the first moment! She made time to come over and meet my two dogs before my husband and I went out of town and made sure she had all the information she needed for a successful weekend. While we were gone Tara remained in touch and sent us lots of pictures to show the dogs were having fun and doing well. My pups had a blast playing with Tara while we were gone and she did a wonderful job caring for them as if they were her own! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Graham was absolutely amazing to my fur babies! I have a 15 year old poodle that is loosing his sight. He immediately took to Graham! He rolled around and showed his cuteness to Graham like he was a puppy again. We have two outdoor dogs that are scared of the storms. We had a storm come through and Graham soothed them with his violin. I can tell that they already miss him! He kept me updated the entire time we were gone and made me feel completely comfortable.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and love them. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my spare time for years as well in my down time. Now that I have relocated to South Carolina from Massachusetts I am looking to rebuild those relationships with some deserving furry friends. I am available to take your pet for walks, play dates and will board them for you. I have a beautiful, clean and spacious two bedroom apartment and have all the love in the world to shower them with. Please reach out! I am available every day for mornings, afternoon and night visits, walls and boarding! I am also available for last minute check ins late at night. My approach to pet care is rooted in two things: a lifelong love for animals and a professional commitment to reliability. Whether I am hosting a pet in my home or visiting yours, I offer a high-touch, organized service. For boarding, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment with plenty of exercise and affection. For in-home visits and walking, I leverage my experience in property management to ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect while your pet receives my undivided attention. I am experienced with senior pets, understand the nuances of pet-friendly travel, and am committed to providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry family member—and your home—are in expert hands.
“Erika went over and beyond for me and my baby. She was extremely attentive, alerted me to a rash that turns badly really fast and now he is on antibiotics. Very thorough, lots of updates and pictures. Could not have had a better person take care of your babies.”
“I cannot recommend Lydia enough for all of your petsitting needs - she watched our pups AND backyard ducks when we went out of town for the weekend. My husband and I came home from our trip to two content and relaxed boys (our dogs) and four happy and peppy girls (our ducks). Lydia went above and beyond by taking out the trash, washing the towels, and changing the sheets before she left…we’ll most definitely use her again!”
“Jennifer stepped in for us in a pinch (last minute) and we could not have been more pleased with her in every aspect. She was extremely sweet to our small dog who was highly stressed given the circumstances. She cleaned up well and made sure our dog was well taken care of. We will definitely think of her next time we have to leave our dog behind. Thank you!”
“Athena is amazing! She went above and beyond in taking care of our dogs. The dogs loved her, we got lots of photo and video updates and she took care of everything at our house while we were away. I would highly recommend Athena!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. As an elementary school teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As an elementary school teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before and after school, in the evenings, on weekends, and during school breaks. During the summer, I have much more flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide reliable, loving care whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to keep them feeling comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Osborn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,622 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Osborn. 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 Osborn 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 Osborn 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 Osborn 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.

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.
