Ying was amazing! I found her last minute on Rover and she was very responsive, punctual, and communicative the entire time. She sent me pictures of my kitties and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. For a last-minute booking, it was a great first experience and I would definitely use her again.

Carmen (and her hubby) made a wonderful visit with my Eli! He is a recent rescued dog – He needed a TLC for a mini elimination break while I was at a family gathering. They sent me photos of him lobbies, documented that he did his business, gave him a treat and refill his water dish. An all around excellent visit. I will definitely use them again!

Tara did such a great job with Annabel’s care. She was thorough, conscientious, and went above and beyond to make sure my kitty had everything she needed. He communication was detailed and prompt. I will hope she is available when Annabel needs care in the future.

Carolina was able to help us out after many said no to my Cane Corso, to be fair it was very last minute. She was so kind since it’s my first time using Rover, offered to help! I was relieved to meet her in person before we left town as well. I was very happy with her punctuality during our vacation, and I appreciated all the extra she did to help us even had to clean up some nervous pee on the first visit. We will absolutely use Carolina again in the future. Thank you so much!

About: Welcome to my home-based dog boarding experience, where your pup becomes part of the family! I can offer a huge fenced-in yard perfect for safe play, exercise, and outdoor fun. Overnight boarding is available for potty-trained pets, and dog walking can be included as part of their stay. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I strive to provide loving, individualized care for every guest. Solitary boarding accommodations are also available upon request for pets who do best in their own space (additional fee may apply). Because my home includes elementary-age children, all pets must be child-friendly. Your dog will be cared for by me and Melody — our lovable, mischievous 1-year-old rescue pup! Pet care is naturally built into our daily routine because animals are a big part of my home and family life. There is always plenty of love, attention, and activity to go around. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in our large, fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules tailored to their needs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I attend to other responsibilities during the day, I ask that your pet is crate or kennel comfortable to ensure their safety while we are away. Pets staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of supervised outdoor play in our large fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules based on your pet’s routine, and lots of affection and companionship throughout the day.

About: I’ve worked with dogs of every age from puppy to senior. And I have taken classes with my own dog for basic behavior training, reactivity, and anxiety. I’m highly communicative and understand how important updates are when you’re away from your furry family member. You can expect prompt responses, regular photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving personalized care. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a quieter routine, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m a teacher off for the summer so I have a pretty flexible schedule to make time to walk, play, and check on dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm environment and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate training, and household rules. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I provide plenty of affection, supervision, and positive attention while ensuring pets have a safe, clean environment. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their stay or visit.

Christine was awesome and we can't say enough good things about her. We received daily pictures and updates during our time away and she was extremely helpful with our older, 17-year-old, cat, as well as with our two 9-month-old kittens. Christine was very responsive to our texts, and we will continue to book her as our caretaker when we are away.

cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.

About: As someone who likes to travel, I know the anxiety of being away from your beloved pet. I myself have a rescue cat and older dog. I have also dog sat for family members; ensuring walks, vet visits, and all other needs were taken care. I love animals. While your away, I'll make sure to care for them like your not even away. :D I work part-time at UTC Mall. My schedule can be very flexible. I have windows of open availability throughout the day, depending on location. I am will to drive to most places within Manatee County. I consider myself a person that dog and cats find approachable. I do not pressure them and allow pets to find their comfortable space with me. Whether that is how I approach or speak to a pet. I many times will allow them to smell me, when they are ready. I find it very important to build trust.

Carmen is an outstanding caregiver. We feel so lucky to have found her to help with our pup during a recent injury. She thinks of everything and stays in close contact during her stays. We hope she will be around for us when we need help again!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Osprey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

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

As of July 2026, there are 1,768 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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
  • 98% 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.

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.
