“Kevin was really great with my trio of Dogs: medium, small and smaller. He gave meds and did all the things they like to do. He was very flexible with me in the flurry of getting out of town. I recommend him highly!”
“Kelly did a wonderful job watching our corgi, Max. She is very responsive and communicated frequently about how Max was doing (with lots of photos! ☺️). It’s clear she has a passion for caring for dogs, and we would absolutely love to have her watch Max again in the future. 😊”
“Jennifer did another great job with Zoey. She was well cared for and got plenty of treats. Jennifer sent us a lot of pictures to show us how Zoey was doing and we really appreciated that. Will definitely ask for her again.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Brianna. She gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town! She took excellent care of Pippa, and was great at communicating with us. She is fantastic, and Pippa loved her!”
“Acacia was amazing with my dogs, they loved her! She was timely, thoughtful, playful with the dogs and sent great pics. Can’t wait to have her house/dog sit again!”
“My dog was having some unexpected health issues as I was preparing to leave to work a camp. Even with plans a year in the making, it was hard to not want to cancel everything and stay with her. Abigail went above and beyond while watching Alda, and it made it so much easier to be away. There were regular check-ins, good questions, and great care. I highly recommend Abigail as someone you can trust with your pets.”
“Kendra came to us on only a few day notice! She was amazing with our pups, sent us pictures and updates often and left our place cleaner than we left it along with treats for the ladies. Wish we would have found her sooner!”
“Peggy was amazing with our dogs. She stayed at our place and sent regular updates. She was a wonderful house guest and an even better sitter. We'd love to book with her again.”
“Autumn was incredible! She had 5 star communication and provided an incredible experience for our dog while we were out of town! Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!”
“Alex did such an amazing job watching my pets while I was on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I felt like I could relax without having to think about if everything was ok back home. Definitely book her for your next trip!”
“Katie and Boyd did a wonderful job with our sweet Lucy. We were extremely nervous to use Rover for the first time, and they eased our minds. Katie and Boyd came to met Lucy prior to our trip away and asked for specific details on how to best take care of our pup. We highly recommend these two and will use them again in the future.”
“I was totally at ease knowing Heather was staying with my dog who has special health needs, and the updates I received during my trip were reassuring. When I got home and saw how well my dog was doing I was more than appreciative that Heather was here for her!”
“Anika is so sweet and was great with our pups! She arrived on time, was very accommodating to our needy pups’ schedule, followed all instructions, left our home clean, and even left flowers for us to come home to after our trip! We will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
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 cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
“Tierney was wonderful! Did in home pet sitting for my puppy and 2 cats. Sent lots of updates, photos, and was more than happy to accommodate last minute extra things. Our house was left so clean you couldn’t even tell she was there. Would happily have her back!”
“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.”
“Connie was amazing! She was very thorough with our meet and greet. My animals also instantly loved her and felt comfortable with her which is especially rare for my dog. My dog usually needs to be coaxed to eat special food while I’m gone but she went straight for her dry kibble shortly after Connie got there. She’s a true animal lover :)”

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!!

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.
