“I appreciated Chasydi taking the time to visit my dog several times while we were away. We have an anxious puppy, and Chasydi was careful not to push her too much, but to let her get familiar with her. We also appreciated Chasydi keeping the house neat during her stay and during her in-and-out visits. She shared photos and reassured us that Ember was okay.”

About: Hello my name is jomary but everyone calls me J I have been around animals my whole life , from little tiny hamsters to Huge rottweilers . I can multitask and also a very quick learner which for me is a plus when it comes to animal care why you ask because every pet is unique and different in there own way . While it could be from what they eat to when they eat or if they have speacial needs or from how they play to how many hours they play . And knowing and learning quickly about a new animal you are taking care of is very important . both you and your pet will be statisfied with the way i care for Your Pet.
“Jennifer was amazing! We have a menagerie of animals and we have had a run of pet sitters that have not taken care of our pets the way that we do. For the first time, I went on vacation and didn't worry about my babies. Everyone, including the chickens and parrots, were happy when we got home. Our retriever even attempted to follow her out when she left, which was a compliment to how she took care of them. We will definitely hire her again to take care of our babies. THANK YOU JENNIFER!!!! We are glad we found you!”

“Savanna has always been wonderful with our pup. We’ve used her several times now and feel very comfortable knowing our girl is in good hands with her! We have a pretty shy dog and she takes a while to warm up to people, but it’s clear that she loves Savanna and is very comfortable around her. Savanna sends updates (with pics!) daily and takes good care of our home too. I highly recommend Savanna!”


“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog and cat owner with experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and needs—including blind and diabetic dogs. I’m also a proud cat mom to two of my own, and I truly love spending time with animals. I’m an active, outdoorsy person and am always happy to match your dog’s energy, whether that means going for a walk, playing in the yard, or getting out for a run. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one feel happy, safe, and comfortable. When you’re away, my goal is to give your pets the same love, attention, and care they receive at home. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re gone! I currently offer pet care availability during early mornings, lunchtime, and evenings on weekdays, with more flexible availability on weekends. I’m an active person who loves hiking, running, and rock climbing, so I’m happy to match your dog’s energy—whether that means walks, runs, or playtime. I’m also very comfortable with a range of pet personalities. I’m happy to cuddle affectionate pets or give shy cats the space they need to feel safe and comfortable. This makes me a great option for anyone needing reliable early morning or afternoon care, along with consistent, attentive support for their pets throughout the week. I will always follow any specific instructions regarding treats, care routines, brushing, walking, or play so your pet gets exactly what they need and are used to. I take communication seriously and am happy to share pictures and regular updates during my time with your pet so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Your home will be treated with the same care and respect as my own, and I always aim to leave things even better than I found them.
“Lauren did a wonderful job with my Husky. We had lost our other dog that same week, so Lauren was a great comfort to my remaining dog. What an excellent experience. I would definitely have Lauren come back again. Thanks!”

About: Whether it’s a short walk, a day together, or somewhere in between, I’m excited to give your pup all of my love :) As someone who uses Rover for my dogs too, I understand how important it is to have a trusted person you can call in for support. I am ready to be that person for you! I can care for all kinds of dogs—big or small, shy or playful, those who need some extra assistance, and high energy pups that might enjoy a run! I’m a PhD student currently writing my dissertation. My schedule could literally not get more flexible. I am open to caring for your pup at any time. I want to follow your dog’s normal routine. I’ll ask for their food, play, and outside schedule so I can keep things consistent. I’m a defensive dog walker (like defensive driving, but walking) and always have your dog’s safety and calm at the forefront.
About: My approach to pet care prioritizes keeping your animals nervous system regulated while changes happen to their daily life. You will receive thorough updates and assured peace of mind that your fur babies are in good hands! I own my own business so the time set aside for animal care is blocked off completely. Your animals will receive my undivided attention and you can rest assured that they are my top priority! Caring for animals in their home environment means allowing them to reduce the stress of changing environments. Let me come to you and your pets will thank you for it!
“Aja is absolutely fantastic. Can’t say enough about how attentive, communicative, clean while staying in our home, and great with the dogs she is. As long as she is around and available we will continue to use her services.”

“Kendall was a huge help to our family while we were out of town for a few days! She kept in contact and sent pictures throughout her stay. We had an initial meet-and-greet with our pups and they instantly loved her! Will definitely ask for her pet services in the future!”

“Faith is absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of my girl and was constantly sending updates while I was gone. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a friend for their animal!”

“Sadie was wonderful! She took care of our 3 dogs for the week while we were away at the beach and they absolutely loved her! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the week and I felt like they were in great hands the entire time. We would definitely love for her to watch our pups again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Heidi was five minutes early for both the meet and greet and the actual house sitting booking. Finn had a great time with her, and I was very happy with how she cared for him. I received lots of updates and photos. We will not hesitate to book her again!”

“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”
“Charisma was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and videos and kept me up to date. She was very attuned to the dogs’ needs and left my home better than she found it. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Janet was amazing with our dog while we were away. Our canine is a senior dog, is very anxious, and has pandemic separation anxiety. And all of that melted away when she spent time with Janet. We could tell from the photos and videos that the dog felt so comfortable with her. And Janet was in touch throughout the time we were away with messages and pictures. We could not have left our woofer in better hands and would book Janet again in a heartbeat to dogsit. Thanks, Janet!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,963 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Osgood. 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 Osgood 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 Osgood 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Osgood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
