About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning and can help reinforce basic training, potty routines, and good manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, medication, or simply a little more patience and comfort. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. im currently a working part time mom who is pregnant with a 3 year old as well but my 3 yr old is in school so im available during the day after 1 and at night time i have a fenced yard! but with my 3 year old id prefer if i was able to have your babies in my home to make things easier
About: Hi! My name is Olivia! I am a 26 year old owner of 3 beautiful pups. I am able to create a very fun and safe environment for your fur babies while you are away! I have experience in both dog handling and training! Currently working as a full time stylist looking to fit some pet sitting in my free time schedule. I’d love to include pet sitting as well as exercise for all parties involved during pet walks. I am able to provide and follow exact care routines left for each animal to make sure their routines are consistent as if you were there with them. I take extra time and care to make sure the animals are acclimated with me and feel safe and loved. I have experience in dog handling as well training.
About: I grew up with big dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience pet sitting both during the day and for overnight stays, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes—from small pups to big dogs—as well as cats. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have lots of love, attention, and care to give yours! I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and would love to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I teach at an outdoor school from 8:30–2:30 and am typically home by 3:00 every day, giving me plenty of afternoon and evening availability for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. My schedule is consistent and predictable, so it’s easy for me to build your pet’s routine into my day. I’m also available for overnight care and weekends! I want pets to feel as comfortable and at home with me as possible! I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and downtime, while giving them plenty of love and attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s routine, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hello! Super cool story! Before I had my daughter I reduced stress, spent a large amount of time around animals, logged a ton of animal TLC, and was able to save for my daughter’s arrival all while doing this!! I’m right back in the same position! I quit my job as a nurse to prepare to get pregnant so I’ve decided to pick right back up where I left off! Just not in Texas but Florida! Making some money is a plus but doing what I love is even better! Our family adores animals but travel way too much with family all over the map so it wouldn’t be fair to have our own in this chapter of our lives! So please let me love on yours! I have a very open schedule! A super kind heart! And a need to slow life down and love on your sweet babies! I am currently not working so I have an open schedule with lots of flexibility! I have a daughter I drop off to school in the morning but am free other than that! We currently don’t have a backyard. We live on the golf course so I don’t have the ability to host an animal long term but would be open to a short stay!
About: I have been a pet owner for about 15 years. I love walking dogs and caring for cats and fish. I am passionate about ensuring that pets are well cared for and just as happy when their owners return home as when they left. I am a second year dental student and have a fairly open schedule. I only have class for a few hours in the morning and some afternoons during the week days. I am available for dog walking and for general pet sitting responsibilities If I am caring for a dog then I make sure that they get plenty of exercise with a walk and being let outside. I also follow the directions of the client if they need to be crated or if a portion of the house is off limits to the pet. For cats I will make sure that they are fed and that the litter box is clean and anything additional the client is looking for.
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”

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.

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!

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.
