Our normal cat sitter had a family emergency and canceled our reservations. Meaghan was willing to help us on short notice. She did a fantastic job. We received daily updates and pictures. We had added a bunch of extra chores for her, one of the cats needing medication as such. She even kept up with vacuuming up the tiny bits of food that can tend to be thrown around when the cats eat. We came home to relaxed kitties and a clean house. We intended to contact her first if we ever have the need. Highly recommend!

Lauchlan was flexible & prompt with her drop in visits. She was very attentive to my concerns with my cat while I was away. She kept me informed while I was away and tried engaging my cat with activity. My cat is cautious with strangers, but Lauchlan played with her and was very determined to establish a connection with her, even laying on the floor. Lauchlan knows the signs a pet will show when they are feeling stressed / anxiety, which I was concerned about. She kept me informed of her overall well being while I was gone, which made me feel good! I had only booked 3 days of visits, but Lauchlan was developing a connection with her. I would highly recommend Lauchlan and will definitely reach out to her again if I'm in the need of a sitter! Little Momma & I Thank you for your caring visits!

First time using rover, Jessi was wonderful! We needed a sitter last minute when ours fell through, Jessi made things really easy. She sent wonderful updates and photos letting us know how everything was going consistently and with great care! We will definitely use Jessi in the future! Would highly recommend.

Phoebe may have been the best part of our recent vacation! We have 5 cats and a very spoiled indoor bunny who make traveling bittersweet. We usually spend the majority of the trip worrying about and missing them. We had never used Rover before and had concerns with the idea of allowing a stranger in our home (much less carrying for our “children”). Once we did the meet and greet and saw how well our babies took to Phoebe, we knew they were in the best of hands. She took care of every detail including 7 litter boxes (yes, SEVEN LITTER BOXES) and still made time to play with them with their favorite toy and send photos. I’m pretty sure when we returned last night I heard one of them meow and say “wait, where’s Phoebe?” We will definitely be trusting Phoebe with our babies in the future.

About: Hi, my name is Erin, and I have been around dogs since the day I was born. I have dog sat many different breeds for my neighbors and family friends. I worked at a dog groomer's as a bather and learned so much about taking care of dogs. The most important lesson I learned during that experience is that patience and kindness are key when interacting with a new dog. Having these two skills is especially important for taking care of senior dogs and nervous dogs. I also learned that a dog experiences the world through their nose. With that knowledge, I always make sure to include sniffing time on walks. Taking different paths and experiencing new smells keeps their mind active and makes the walk 10 times better. I use all of my knowledge to make sure that each walk is a fun and rewarding experience. I can't wait to meet your pup! For the next few months, I will be on summer break. I only work on the weekends and have always wanted to give Rover a try to meet some new furry friends and help them exercise! I will have plenty of free time during the week, but I am willing to chat to see what works best for you and your dog! I have two dogs whom I love to take on walks in my free time. I always make sure to have two hands on the leash at all times when walking both of my dogs. My older dog (110 lb) is quite reactive and could try to chase something at any moment, so I need to be prepared. My younger dog (70 lb) is very sweet and relaxed on walks and not reactive to other dogs or people; however, he is very skittish around loud noises. If he gets frightened, he may try to run and hide, so keeping two hands on the leash is crucial. I never push my puppies beyond their limit, especially if it is hot outside. Their health and safety are always a concern.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a small child. Animals of all kinds are gifts to be cherished! I treat them like they are my own babies. I am comfortable with animals of all types! I can stay at your home on weekends and provide constant care for your pets while you’re away! I am happy to get up throughout the night if your pets require it. I am flexible in providing whatever care your animals require at your home. I will play with them, tend to their feeding, grooming, and bathrooming needs and can assist with medical care.

About: Ace Avelis (He/Him)- I've had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember, whether they're furry, scaly, or somewhere in between! Growing up with animals of all kinds taught me how to care for all kinds of personalities, from playful pups to laid back loungers. I truly love pets of every kind and would be honored to meet and care for your precious companion! As I work toward a degree in animal behavior, I also care for pets full-time in order to pursue my passion. I’m proud to offer high-quality, attentive care, including overnight stays and 24-hour companionship for pets who prefer not to be alone. I take the time to really get to know each pet and what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your furry friend is shy and needs a gentle approach, or bursting with energy and ready to play, I’m here for it! I always come prepared with the essentials like a backup leash, waste bags, and owner-approved treats. And if your pet loves to cuddle, my lap is always open for snuggles and companionship.

About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs, mostly focusing on basic obedience like sit, stay, lay down, speak, crate training, and name recall. I use positive reinforcement and food motivation, and I try to stay consistent with routines so pets understand what’s expected. I’m comfortable with daily care like feeding, walking, potty breaks, and keeping pets on a schedule. I’m patient and focused on making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, so I’m available for house sitting on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During those days, I have plenty of time to stick to your pet’s routine, that means feeding, walks, playtime, etc. Im often available after work as well to provide any small quick services like walks! I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines. I make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship so they don’t feel stressed or alone while their owner is away. I also treat the client’s home with respect, keeping it clean and secure, and making sure everything is left as it was when I arrived. My goal is to create a calm, reliable environment where both the pet and the owner feel at ease.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I have raised and trained my own puppy once I moved out on my own. I have also had experience and patience with senior dogs as well. I love animals and would love to help out another pet owner in my down time! I do work full time, so I am not available 24/7 but I am always willing to schedule ahead of time. I am willing to travel and pup sit in any location. I also have a 6ft tall fenced in yard of my own. I do not smoke or have any allergies so being in someone else’s home is no concerns of mine.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years. I have professional experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes in a dog daycare, and as a dog trainer. I am currently working as an adjunct college instructor, so I have periodic points throughout days and weekends that I can visit dogs for walks, potty breaks, and play time. My approach to pet care and training is based around Grisha Stewart's approach. I believe establishing trust, positive reinforcement, and providing healthy mental and physical exercise according to your dog's individual needs is the best approach to keeping a happy companion.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oswego on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,552 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oswego. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oswego. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
