About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. My goal is to make your time apart easy—for your pet by keeping their routine familiar, and for you by knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I’ve been caring for animals for 15+ years, starting in high school by helping my mom with her pet-sitting clients and continuing throughout college and beyond. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from growing up with Labradors to fostering dogs and cats and working at a local zoo. I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and more sensitive pets. Some of my most special relationships have come from caring for pets over the years. I’ve had families return to me time and time again while they travel, giving me the chance to build a genuine bond with their pets. There’s something incredibly rewarding about earning that trust and eventually being greeted like a familiar friend rather than a sitter. I work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around for much of the day and provide plenty of companionship and attention. I naturally adapt to each pet’s routine, whether that means long walks and playtime or simply being a calm, steady presence. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in and take pride in leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love to give your pets the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. 🤍 I work from home for a local tech company. I am very flexible with my schedule and am available for walks, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. Weekends and overnights are welcome too! Your pet’s safety and your home’s care are my top priorities. I’m a careful, respectful house guest who takes the responsibility of caring for both seriously. With 16+ years of pet-sitting experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I’m attentive to their routines, your instructions, and the little details that keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also naturally very tidy and take a lot of pride in caring for someone’s home. I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean, organized, and well cared for throughout my stay. To me, the job isn’t complete until you walk back through your door and feel like you’re coming home to your own space—just as nice, if not nicer, than when you left.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Osprey
Aimee was very kind and professional! She showed up on time and did a meet and greet with me and our pets. You could tell she loves animals. She came on time for the visit and also stayed the whole time and sent updates. Will definitely be using her again in the future!

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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Osprey is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $34 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,678 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Osprey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
