“Emalia is a fantastic sitter. We felt very comfortable leaving Patsy with her. When we came home Patsy seemed very happy and well entertained. Emalia is great with communication and on time. We found a keeper for sure!”
About: I have had our dog Bosco for four years and he is the best boy ever. I have also watched foster dogs for my friend who manages a shelter in neenah and I have watched other friends dogs in the past. I get done in the afternoon so I can walk dogs in the afternoon and check on cats in the afternoon. I’m also free on weekends and I have off every government holiday. Unfortunately taking pets into my apartment is not ideal for our household, with that being said, I have absolutely no issues going to your home either to let the dogs out for play time and walks or even over night. Same with cats, going to your home is better suited for me!
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can more than likely make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
“Cassie watched our Eddie over the weekend and she was amazing! She immediately connected with Eddie and he had a great time. Cassie was excellent at communication and was always sending photos of them playing and having fun. We will definitely have Cassie back and we would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Sarah is the exact person you are looking for to care for your pet while you’re away. They are enthusiastic and ask important questions. They also send updates and photos while you’re away. We will use Sarah to watch our dog whenever we are away and they have availability.”
“Olivia is experienced, kind, and quick to absorb a lot of information (and responsibilities). She helped us out last minute with our hospice elderly dog when we exhausted and needed a break.”
“She was very attentive and concerned for our dogs She provided daily updates with photos so we knew they were being well cared for She took care of our home probably better than we do! Highly recommended”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish through both pet sitting and caring for my own animals. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medications, or additional attention. I always follow owners’ instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, drop in visits, or evening check ins, I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I always follow each owner’s instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets plenty of exercise and playtime, and receives lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to administer medications if clear instructions are provided. I keep a clean, safe environment, pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, and can also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for until you return.
“Elizabeth is amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we could not have had a better experience. Responds quickly, very understanding, and knowledgeable with puppies! My pups will miss her, excited to see Elizabeth again!”
“Rowan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was very friendly and accommodating and kept up really great communication. Our dog was very well cared for and we will absolutely be looking to hire him again.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I've trained my own dog since she was a puppy, and she's learned commands such as sit, stay, wait, lay down, shake, roll over, and heel, including walking calmly off leash. Through that experience, I've learned the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. I've also cared for dogs with special needs, including my sister's French Bulldog with a cleft palate, which required extra attention during feeding and daily care. In addition, I've dog sat for a dog that needed heartworm medication, so I'm comfortable following care instructions and administering medications as directed. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and treat every dog like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule as a full-time dental hygiene student. While school keeps me busy, I’m organized and able to dedicate time throughout the week to providing reliable care, attention, and companionship for pets. I currently work one day a week at Bath & Body Works, which allows me to balance my responsibilities while making time for pet care. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding routines, litter box cleaning, and quality time with animals into my schedule. I’m responsible, dependable, and understand how important it is for pets to have consistency and care while their owners are away. I provide pet care in my client's home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, medication needs, and any special care requirements. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I will keep their space clean, provide plenty of attention and companionship, and send updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.

About: Hello, My name is Amelia. I am a paraprofessional off for the summer. I started when my aunt asked me to take care of her dog while they were away on vacation and I absolutely fell in love. Since then I have dog sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I love being outside and walking around neighborhoods and exploring different tails/parks, doing any of those activities with a furry friend makes the experience so much better. I love to cook and create healthy, whole, local meals. I like to keep things clean and smelling fresh. I am off for the summer so my schedule is pretty open. Im looking to fill up most of my week days with fun walks I like to know your schedule and use that as how I spend my day with your furry friends. I do like to get out as much as possible.
“Emily did a fantastic job of caring for all 3 of my animals, watering the indoor and outdoor plants as well as leaving my home just as clean as she found it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Oshkosh is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oshkosh
Cassie was amazing with Dexter! She communicated very well and went above and beyond for Dexter! Tidied up the house and cleaned the yard of all poop, which was not needed but very much appreciated it! Made being away a little less stressful knowing Dexter was well taken care of! Highly recommend!
Rebecca was amazing and stepped in to help with my dogs on very short notice. She communicated with me the entire time and sent a lot of pictures. Rebecca even hand fed my dogs to make sure they felt comfortable and cared for. I will absolutely be using her again in the future!
Annalise did a great job taking care of our very spoiled kitty Arya! We were able to take a two week vacation and we were never worried about how things were going at home. Annalise is very caring and conscientious about her time with Arya. She will be my first choice in the future for a caregiver for Arya.
She did a great job taking care of my French Bulldog. The French Bulldog can be really hard to take care of but she was able to keep him on schedule. Was also alert about him not eating and we were always in contact. I had no worries while I was gone. Thank You!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oshkosh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oshkosh on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 233 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oshkosh. 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 Oshkosh 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 Oshkosh 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 Oshkosh 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oshkosh. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
