“Abigail was fantastic with Winston! She sent pictures and updates each day. She even washed the sheets and made the guest bed up before she left. We will be happy to use her services again!”
“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!”
“Alex recently stayed at our house to take care of our Cocker (Cooper) as well as tropical fish. Cooper took to her right away. She obviously has a love of dogs. Many walks and pictures. No dead fish! Highly recommended!”
“We hired Claire to house sit or home for three days. She made us immediately comfortable, taking notes and asking appropriate questions during our pre-service walk through. She sent pictures of our “boys” (one dog and one cat) each day so we knew they were okay. We have scheduled Claire for an upcoming vacation and are confident that she will take great care of our “boys” and our home.”
About: Until recently, I have always had dogs, and have helped take care of dogs and cats for my neighbors and family members. I also have a son who is working with Rover who lived in my home for 3 years while caring for many clients. I was honored to help with the care of those wonderful pets. Now, I find myself without a dog and retired, so I would love to care for your dog or cat. I am exclusively doing pet care, so my schedule is very flexible. I am retired, so I could spend as much time as you would need me to with your pet, great for furry friends with separation anxiety. I will follow all instructions very carefully and keep you updated with photos if you would like. I'll treat your home like it was my own.
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, and small animals my entire life, both my own and for friends or neighbors. Working in environmental conservation, I naturally love animals and being outdoors, and I volunteered at a shelter for several years. I enjoy exploring local trails and would love to bring your dog on a run or hike whenever I get the chance. I live near a dog park, and I bring fresh water and waste bags on every trip. I am attentive to all your pets needs and can administer basic medications. I work part-time in the evenings so will have plenty of time throughout the day to feed, exercise, and care for your pet! I live in a standalone house, my neighborhood has trails and a dog park, and I have a large yard. I like taking long walks and making sure your pet gets their energy out. I go above and beyond for you and your beloved pet, sending photos and checking in with you regularly. They will have plenty of space in my home. If I am house sitting, I care for your home as well, including cleaning or bringing in your mail. I have a green thumb so will be attentive to any plants you have that may need care, too.
“Camryn was an absolute angel with our two dogs, Molly and Libby. She treated them to pup cups, took them for walks and played outside with them. when Molly jumped into our pond she gave her a bath. The next day when they were outside they both went into the pond, they are both water dogs, so she gave two baths and cleaned ears. Above our expectation. This is the first time we have left our dog with anyone, we will definitely use Camryn again.”
“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”
“Rebecca took excellent care of our pup and house while we were on a 2-week vacation. Our dog was so happy and content, she hardly noticed when we arrived back home. And our house was every bit a clean and today as we left it. I highly recommend!!”
About: Hello, my name is Dakota! I’m new to Rover, but not new to animal care. I’ve been in the pet care business for 4+ years so you can trust that I can handle your pets with great care! Full disclosure I work a day job full-time at a doggy daycare. I work a combination of 6-2:30 shifts and 11-7 shifts. My days aren’t set which I understand isn’t the easiest to work around, but I am pretty open and hopefully we can set something up that works for you, me, and your furry friend! I will make sure they get lots of snuggles and also keep them entertained. I can also give them walks (if they are needed/wanted) :)
“Kelly was an awesome sitter for our dog with separation anxiety! It was our first time booking and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. Kelly sent frequent updates and photos to keep us informed while we were away. We’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”
“Amber did a great job sitting and taking care of my dog! She was attentive and kept me well informed. I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her sit with him again in the future”
“Nina was amazing! She took such good care of our dog and our home while we were away. She sent regular pictures and communication during our trip. We will definitely book with her the next time we travel and I know our pup will be thrilled to have her come back again.”
“It's always a good sign when the pups are happy to see you, and also sad to see Erin go. Erin always takes wonderful care of my pups and they are always sad to see her go!”
“Justin was wonderful! Charlie and Margaret were so happy- we could tell from the pictures that Justin sent to keep us updated over the weekend. We will absolutely book him again!”
“Tanya was AMAZING!!! Immediately after meeting her & watching her interact with our tiny zoo we had complete confidence that they were in good hands. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: I currently work full time nights at a hospital and I am also previously worked in emergency vet medicine for 4 years. I have always loved animals big and small. I hope to get to care for yours soon! I am here to care for your pets in the exact same way you do while you are away. You just let me know how you would like me to care for them and I will do just that. I have stayed over nights with a Labradors, beagles, golden retriever, Pomeranian, cats, Australian shepherd etc. and we had a blast. I can also give baths as needed or medication if they are on daily pills/oral liquid/shots anything. I hope you will consider me and I hope to help you out soon!!! I do work full time however I work nights so I am home during the day taking care of my own golden. So I am happy to assist you and take care or check in on your baby/babies! I treat your house like my own. I cleaned houses growing up and I always treated others houses with respect and care. If I move/use something I put it back etc.

Kelly took amazing care of our anxious ten-year old dog! She stayed at our house and was great at sending updates and photos. She has a calm energy that immediately put our high strung dog at ease. Kelly is trustworthy and reliable, I will definitely book her again!
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 of House Sitting in Osseo is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 3,451 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Osseo. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
