“I am so happy and relieved to have Carolyne care for my cats while I was away. I appreciated daily photos and updates on my "babies". I feel she went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much Carolyne!!”
“Elaina has been by far the best catsitter we ever worked with! She was very thorough with each visit at following our instructions and kept us updated throughout the visit. We felt so at ease that our boys were safe this past week. Thank you!”
“I could not be happier with Molly’s service. She kept in constant contact with me through the app and was responsive to any and all questions I had while I was away. I highly recommend her and Rover to anyone in need of caring responsible people to care for your pets!”
About: I have cared for animals since I was a child, having been raised on a farm where we always had all sorts of animals, including dogs and cats. We have had such wonderful pet-sitters of our own, that I want to give back as well and provide that loving care to your family pet with the comfort of knowing they are being loved. Each person that shares their family pet with me can be assured they are receiving an abundance of love as if my own fur baby. I am a doodle mom that is in awe of the pure love that our animals give to us freely without hesitation. We do not deserve dogs, but we have been given them to experience unconditional love and pure joy! I am a work at home mom, who truly enjoys spending time loving on dogs. I have never met a dog that I did not like, and they simply put a smile on my face and a pep in my step! I always ask families what makes their pet feel safest when entering their home so that I can follow that routine. I will always come in and provide space and time before approaching your pet as a new person to them. Spending time with your pet in the home first is important before we go outside, as they need to feel safe and loved.
About: I’m a local mom of two boys and a lifelong animal lover, and I’d love to help care for your pets like they’re part of our family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet—whether it’s for a quick trip or a longer vacation—so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease. I provide dependable, calm, and attentive care, with lots of updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most days and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, and attention throughout the day, and I make sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I build it into my schedule so pets feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m not overbooked, I’m able to give each pet my full attention and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I always tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent - feeding, walks, playtime, and rest all follow their normal schedule. I spend quality time with each pet so they don’t feel rushed or alone, and I’m careful to keep the home clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.
“Nicole did an amazing job caring for my cats!! She was attentive and made sure they got love while I was away. She made sure that she found my scaredy boy who loves to hide to check he was okay!”
“Marissa, helped me in a pinch with a last-minute request for drop-in visits with my cat when I left town. She also agreed to an extra day when I decided to extend my trip. She communicated well with me before and during. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Emaline is beyond great! This was my first time using the app and she was so helpful to explain everything. She was so kind, followed all requests, sent pictures and updates. Would 100% recommend!”
“Carrie took care of our two cats while we were on holiday and she truly went above and beyond. Not only did she always send pictures and an update on our loved ones, she even vacuumed the floors and took a spoiled rug home to be washed! Truly a perfect pet sitter :)”
“This was our first time using Brittany but we certainly look forward to using her more! She did great with our four huskies during a lunchtime drop in visit, she took instructions very well, and is natural with dogs.”
“I went out of state to visit family over Thanksgiving and am extremely grateful to have had Keriann to come spend time with my 2 kitties. They were both healthy and happy to have some company while I was away. I would definitely recommend Keriann to friends and family. She took a lot of stress from my traveling!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 5 years now and have had pets all of my life. I can even give them their meds if needed. I work a 9-5 mon-fri job, but I am available any other time to take care of your fury babies. I’m available evenings, early mornings, and weekends I can work with dogs in the yard with a fence or no fence and I can feed and bathe them when needed. Also can give medications as well

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ostrander on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,502 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ostrander. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ostrander stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
