About: Local educator that would love to take care of your fur babies! I have lived with a cat almost all of my life. I have taken care of friend’s pets and other teacher’s pets for the last 5 years. I do drop ins, walks, bathroom breaks, and overnight stays. As a school teacher, I’m unavailable during the school day from 8 AM–4 PM Monday through Friday. I’m available in the evenings and have open availability throughout the weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide your pet with attention, walks, playtime, and care. I focus on providing reliable, attentive care in your pet’s familiar home environment. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine while making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my ability to provide structured, attentive, and compassionate care that meets both the physical and emotional needs of dogs. I am highly attentive to routines, behavior cues, and individual temperaments, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment for each dog in my care. My dog-sitting skills extend beyond basic supervision to include proper exercise, reinforcement of positive behavior, and close observation to ensure overall well-being. I approach every responsibility with professionalism, reliability, and clear communication, giving pet owners confidence and peace of mind that their dogs are receiving exceptional, dependable care in their absence I have a flexible schedule and am available most of the time, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care. While I am generally free during the week, I may occasionally have other commitments on weekends, though I communicate availability clearly in advance to ensure proper planning. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every aspect of the care I provide. My upstairs apartment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with close supervision at all times to ensure pets remain safe and comfortable. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions provided, and I maintain a consistent and structured environment to reduce stress. My community offers designated areas for walking dogs, allowing for regular exercise in a controlled and safe setting. Through attentive care, clear communication, and respect for both the pet and the owner’s expectations, I strive to create a secure, trusting, and welcoming home where pets feel comfortable and well cared for

About: I treat ALL pets like family! 💗 Hi! I’m Ashli, & I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I’ve had experience caring for animals for many years. Growing up, I regularly watched my uncle’s three dogs whenever he traveled, which taught me the importance of providing loving, reliable care while pet parents are away. I also pet sit for my other uncle’s dog from time to time, as well as friends’ pets whenever they need a helping hand. I’m a proud pet mom to two cats, Ginger & Honey, & two turtles, Bonzai & Lily. They truly are my babies, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, & well cared for. I know every pet has their own unique personality, & I’m happy to adapt to their routine & needs. I can’t wait to meet you & your fur babies! I am very flexible! I would be more than happy to help where needed & I can always make anything work as long as I have a little bit of notice. I am willing to sit during the weekends as well! I will care for your pets in anyway you need me to, I go above & beyond to meet their needs & keep them happy. I also would love to be a new best friend to your fur baby 💗 I’m also open to meet & greets!

About: Hi! I’m a full-time professional with a deep love for animals and experience caring for pets of all kinds. I can provide a variety of pet care services and give each animal plenty of love, attention, and individualized care. I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats. *we do have a nice large run in the garage! I do have a personal dog who prefers to keep to herself; however, she will always be safely separated and put away during any pet stays to ensure a calm and secure environment for your pet. I also have kennels available if needed. Ive got lots of room plus a fenced in back yard! Thank you for trusting me with your furry family member — I look forward to caring for them! 😊 **I also have lots of experience working in dog shelters and kennels, so I know a lot! I can pick up in wabash too! I work full time- but can have a routine! My mother in law works at my house as a nanny. So if needed she will always be present. My dogs are bell trained so when they need to go potty I take them on a leash. Most dogs that have stayed with me have learned quickly where to go if they need to potty. I can provide any service for your pet, just tell me the details.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ossian

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ossian is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $14 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 November 2026, there are 359 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ossian. 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 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 Ossian. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
