About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all sizes and ages. I can handle any need that your fur baby will have. Excited to help! I work until 2:15 during the week Monday through Friday so my services will be limited to the afternoon, however, I’m available all day on weekends. At my home, I have a backyard that can be closed off for most dogs (except the most skilled escape artists). I also own an incredibly friendly golden doodle named Lucy who is 2 years old.

Anna B. is the best! We are so fortunate to have found her through Rover. Anna took good care of our cat while we were gone for the week. She took care of his needs and constantly updated me with photos and messages. While taking care of him, my cat needed veterninary care. She did not hesitate to bring him for an exam. Anna is a kind and compassionate person who loves animals. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to take care of your pet. The next time we go out of town, we will definitely call upon her services. We couldn't ask for anyone better for the job. Thank you Anna for taking such good care of my fur baby.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for pets of different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I’m happy to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also a big believer in communication, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. 🐾❤️ My schedule varies, but I have flexibility throughout the week and can work with your pet’s routine. I’m available for daytime walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that gives your pet the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet in a safe, comfortable environment. I understand every pet has different routines and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and other care instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!

About: Pet care is a natural part of our family life. My husband works from home, so there’s almost always a human around. I’m only in the office two days a week, and while the kids are at school during the day, they are very excited to help with pet care when they’re home. From gentle play and supervised feedings to extra snuggles, your pet will be part of our daily rhythm. Evenings and weekends are full-family time, which means lots of attention, love, and happy tails in our house. Pet care is a natural part of our family life.

From gentle play and supervised feedings to extra snuggles, your pet will be part of our daily rhythm. Evenings and weekends are full-family time, which means lots of attention, love, and happy tails in our house. Our home has a fully fenced yard and a doggy door for easy, outdoor access. We also use cameras for our own dog, which helps us keep an extra eye on everyone. Whether your pet loves play, cuddles, or quiet companionship, we adjust care to their needs so they feel right at home. I’m happy to send photo and video updates for peace of mind. Side note...I have puppy sat for a large dog that shed and as much as I loved him, I just couldn't take all the hair! I plan to limit my pet sitting to mostly non shedding dogs...if they are smaller or special circumstances, we can discuss;)

My weekly routine consists of taking care of my dogs and i’m currently looking for a job. I’m available most of the day to play with the dogs. I love going on walks with the dog or if the yard is fenced in i’ll play with the dog and give it treats and water!

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life so I have a lot of experience caring for them. They become my family and I love them dearly. I treat them better than most people treat their children. I would do anything for them, and I would treat any other pet the exact same way, as if they were my own. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard, great for running and playing. I live in a safe neighborhood with large sidewalks that are great for afternoon walks. I have a standard poodle and a mini-poodle who love to run and play together, they would make your pet feel welcomed and right at home. I also have two cats that are very friendly and loves the dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around visits, ensuring, consistent, reliable care, timely walks, feedings, and regular updates. I follow each pets routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I owned a husky and let me tell you was he the biggest handful ive ever had to deal with. Thankfully growing up all my life with dogs and through my husky “Koda” I am more than capable of fulfilling all needs a dog/owner could ask for. Right now my schedule is virtually free. Best times to book with me are 9am-5pm. Can work outside those hours in some cases. I am flexible. At home i have always treated my animals with the upmost respect, making sure they feel loved, and giving them a sense of security at all times. At a client’s house it would be no different. I just love all pets.

About: With over 30 years of love and experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little playful adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

About: Dogs have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I grew up handling large breeds-my very first dog was a Doberman so I am entirely comfortable, confident, and experienced with big dogs of all temperaments. Today, I am the proud mom of a four-dog pack, which means I am an expert at managing multiple personalities, energy levels, and routines at once. Beyond my lifetime of personal experience, I bring a high level of reliability and peace of mind to my clients. I have a professional background in healthcare, which naturally translates into being incredibly detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and attentive to senior dogs or pets with specific medical and routine needs. Whether it's managing high-energy pups, caring for gentle giants, or giving a senior dog the patient care they deserve, I treat every pet with the same dedication I give my own. routine! Monday through Friday, I am fully available for walks, drops-ins, and sitting starting after 3 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays, my schedule is completely open anytime. Because my personal routine already includes daily walks and plenty of outdoor time, your pup will easily get all the exercise, attention, and care they need right on schedule. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect and maintain your dog's exact routine to keep them stress-free. Whether managing a strict feeding schedule, giving medication, or handling high-energy big dogs, I ensure they feel safe and loved in their own environment. • For Walks & Drop-Ins: Safety is my top priority. Having raised Dobermans and German Shepherds, I am entirely confident walking large breeds and managing pack behavior. You'll get regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is in experienced, reliable hands.

Dot was wonderful with my Goldendoodle, Charlie. From our first conversation throughout Charlie’s visit with Dot, her communication and the comfort she provided was exceptional. Great attention to detail, promptness and follow through with instructions. Dot has a kind and loving personality. That was a perfect match for my fur baby. I will be hiring her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Osprey on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,685 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Osprey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Osprey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Osprey 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Osprey with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Osprey. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
