About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals! I have a tortoise, four ducks, and three dogs at home. I’ve had many other animals in the past! I’m currently working part-time split shifts at an elementary school. I recently got a second job at a daycare in Blaine. Before you book with me, know that I won’t be able to stop by mid day during the weekdays! My work hours are 7am-6pm Monday-Friday. Weekends I am available all day! I’m able to provide whatever you will need for me to best take care of your pets! Let me know if there are special accommodations your pet needs!
“Our two pups loved Tierney. She overcame their anxious door barking finding a way to their hearts: outlasting Zaylee’s car hesitancy to take her (and her brother) to a favorite park, walking them around the neighborhood and spending the night with them to build comfort them while we were away. Great experience!”
“Abigail took such great care of our pups and the house. Clear communication, asked great questions, so considerate of our senior dogs, sent photos, and the dogs loved her!”
“Sadie is amazing! She watched our dog (8 year old Gordon Setter) in our home and was wonderful. Sadie texted the moment she arrived in our home and not only sent multiple updates a day, but also included a ton of photos of our dog! Sadie followed our in-home & care instructions. Sadie even checked-in w/ us after we returned home to ensure we arrived OK and also to see how our dog was doing. We'd definitely book Sadie again.”
“Brooke is a so amazing with our gentle giant and always leaves the house better than she found it. We trust and appreciate her staying in our home anytime and loving on our pup so well. She is very reliable and goes above and beyond to take care of our home and dog while we are away. We definitely recommend Brooke and will 100% hire her again!”
“Olivia took wonderful care of our dog, an energetic two-year old pup. She did a wonderful job of staying in touch with me with questions. I would definitely ask her to care for our dog in the future!”
“Tiffany was so wonderful. She was very communicative and our pets absolutely love her. They were so happy when we got home and we could tell they were that way because of Tiffany’s care. She walked our lab every day, and our pets could not get enough of her. She sent pics showing how affectionate they were with her and it made us feel so comfortable. Thank you Tiffany!”
“I can't thank Kristen enough for the great care she provided for my 2 fur friends. My small dog doesn't like strangers, so, she's not easy to make friends with. Kristen sent me daily updates and photos, which made me feel more comfortable being away from home.”
“Aida did great with our girl Faye and the updates and pics she sent were so helpful in keeping me calm. This was the first time we ever used Rover and our first time leaving Faye alone since her pup brother crossed the rainbow bridge so I was pretty nervous. If you're thinking about reaching out to Aida, I would say definitely give it a shot! She has a lot of positive and friendly energy that your kiddo will love! Thanks Aida!”
“This is our second booking with Jen, and we couldn’t have been happier! Our stubborn (and sometimes very challenging!) English Bulldog is not the easiest pup to handle, but Jen was incredibly patient, attentive, and understanding. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. Communication was excellent throughout, with updates and photos. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and that says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care!”
“Isabella is an amazing pet sitter. She stayed at out house and provided loving care to our aged dog and fiesty cat. She provided pictures and updates so we always knew are pets were doing well. Our house and pets were in great shape when we arrived back home. She is great!”
“We had a great experience with Camryn! Great communication from start to finish. While we were away, she sent us updates on our pets day as well as pictures. House was very clean when we returned home as well. Would definitely rebook again and would recommend.”
“Emily is a loving and responsible caregiver for our aging pup. She provides us with regular reassuring updates and lots of photos. I have 100% confidence Aspen is well cared for when we are away which is why we have booked with her multiple times.”
“Melanie was great with our dog and cats. She stayed at our place and was responsive, respectful and reliable. Melanie was great with our dog who is leash reactive and with our cat who needs an oral medication. We will definitely be calling Melanie again!”
“It was great having Shawnda care for our 2 dogs this past weekend. From the meet and greet to while we were away, she communicated as needed and made sure she knew the both dogs routines. It was a plus that she was able to stay over night. She also helped with watering plants and vacuuming infamous hair. We will definitely schedule again with Shawnda. One other thing we appreciate is Shawnda’s experience with elderly dogs.”
“Claire did an amazing job taking care of my 3 dogs. It was my wedding weekend and she sent me lots of updates to ease any stress about them. She was very respectable with my house and would 10/10 recommend her to anyone.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Osseo
Careese did an amazing job watching our Cane Corso! He’s our baby and this was our first time leaving him at home. She understands large breeds and brought a very calm energy that our Cane Corso loved. We will definitely have Careese watch Tuna again and we recommend her with our highest regard.
Jamie was great with our dogs! She was extremely attentive and gave them lots of walks. We got lots of updates and pictures from her, which is always appreciated. She also left the house spotless, which was such a nice thing to return home to! I would definitely recommend Jamie again for anyone looking for someone to watch their dogs!
I cannot say enough good things about Cindy! We trusted her to house sit our two dogs and two cats for a week. I was very nervous about having someone stay with our pets in our home for the first time, but Cindy was responsible, responsive, kind, and kept us updated on everything! She sent plenty of photos and let me know if there were any concerns along the way. She even was willing to extend her stay when a snow storm sent our travel schedule for a loop. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks, Cindy!!
We had the pleasure of having Ellen dog sit overnight for our two dogs, who can be a bit high maintenance. She did an amazing job—taking them on walks, giving them plenty of love, and making sure all of their special needs were taken care of. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. Ellen is extremely responsible, reliable, and friendly, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

FAQs for House Sitting - Osseo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Osseo on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,439 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Osseo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Osseo walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Osseo maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Osseo 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Osseo. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
