“Ying has been so incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the entirety of this process. I needed help taking care of my father’s cat while he was in the hospital, and Ying went ABOVE and beyond. She displayed nothing but professionalism and kindness, and showed so much love to my sweet furr-sibling during this tough time. We received photos and videos of her time spent, and truly felt the love she put in to everything she did. We couldn’t have asked for anything or anyone better!!”

“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!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and currently have 2 dogs. My dogs are my babies and I will treat yours just like my own. I have crate trained young dogs to caring for senior pups as well. I am reliable and trust worthy. I work remotely and can stop in or walk morning and afternoon during the week and anytime on Saturday or Sunday as needed for your pet. I have dogs of my own and need to come to your home to take care of your pets. My older dog is hit or miss getting along with other dogs so I will not be able to have your pets at my house.

About: Hello 👋 My daughter and I love caring for other fur babies and loving them as if they are our own. We know how important it is to your pets to give them the proper attention and play they deserve. I’ve grown up with rabbits, cats, and dogs. My first job in 5th grade was walking “Mike” the dog daily and I’ve continued to care for other pets over the years. I work throughout the week with flexibility to walk pups in the morning and evening. Weekends completely off to go on adventures with your fur baby. We love traveling to parks, dog beaches, and even for pup cups! I have a fenced in yard with artificial grass that dogs love to spend time sun bathing. A doggy pool so they can cool down in the Summer’s heat. A large dog park minutes away by foot so your loved one can socialize and run around with other dogs as well. If they choose not to do a dog park then plenty of space to be walked around the neighborhood taking in fresh scents.

“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: Hi! My name is Hailey, I’m 21 years old and currently in nursing school. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a huge love for them. I currently have four cats and a Golden Retriever of my own, including a blind cat, so I also have personal experience caring for an animal with special needs and understanding the extra patience, attention, and consistency they may require. I also have experience watching and caring for my sister’s dog, along with taking care of my own pets every day. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and loving looking after your pets while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, companionship, and making sure your pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I also have reliable transportation and my own car, which makes it easy for me to travel to your home for drop-in visits, walks, or other pet-care needs. I’m responsible, caring, and excited to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly schedule. I am currently in nursing school and am available after 3:00 PM on weekdays once I get out of class. My weekends are open, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I also have my own reliable transportation, so I’m able to travel to clients and make sure their pets receive consistent and dependable care. In a client’s home, I would follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that may need extra patience, since I have a blind cat of my own. I would make sure to follow any specific instructions the owner leaves and keep their home and pet’s space clean and secure while they are away.

Aimee took amazing care of my 3 cats. She communicated throughout with any concerns or questions, came on time for the scheduled visits, and agreed to meet us ahead of time to review everything. She took the time to write detailed notes on how we prefer to take care of our cats and ensured they were well taken care of while we were gone. We came home to our home clean, and to 3 happy cats! We have already booked her again for our next trip!

Very pleasant and helpful cat sitter; Christine came to my apartment daily and took good care of Miss Kitty with snacks, litter box nice and tidy, regular food, and brushed and played with her. It means I now feel safe to travel while my cat can be well cared for at home. I strongly recommend her. And by the way, Christine, my officer manager literally thanked me when asked to come help out with the key situation. He commented on how beautiful my cat sitter was.....I can give you his name and number if you're at all interested. He is a very nice guy.

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 Pet Sitting - Osprey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Osprey is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 1,732 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 .

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 , 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
