About: I have helped look after other peoples pets since I was younger. I have a genuine love for all animals and enjoy looking after them. I am currently a student and coach. I would love to fit pet care into my morning or weekend routine and possible overnights as well. I live in a small apartment and would not be able to bring them to my place, but I do have a care and am a reliable person to come to your home and love your pet.
About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My whole life I have had dogs in the house, and the whole neighborhood knows to come to me when they need someone to watch their fur babies. I have a puppy of my own, he is a 7 month old long haired dachshund named pretzel. I am currently working part-time so I have lots of free time to fit pet care in. I am a former college athlete so I love to exercise, so I would love to spend my free time walking with some fur babies. I do not have a fence, but I do have a chain for the backyard. I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby company who absolutely adores other dogs. Since my yard is not fenced I like to take my dog on lots of walks to get his exercise and enrichment in.
About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and am comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I treat every pet like I would my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I’m available for pet care around my nursing schedule, which varies from week to week. Since my workdays change, my availability can be flexible, and I’m happy to coordinate with you in advance to find days and times that work best for your pet’s routine and needs. Caring for your pet in their own home allows them to stay relaxed and stress-free. I strictly follow your instructions to maintain their routine and comfort. Safety is always my priority — I ensure doors and gates are secured and that your pet is never left unattended. I pay close attention to their needs and mood, providing gentle care and companionship.

About: I’ve taken care of 4 dogs at one time while babysitting 2 twins, I’ve catsit for 4 cats as well. I grew up with dogs and own 3 cats now that I live on my own! Pet care fits in my daily routine because I own 3 cats. Growing up, I had a dog and my family still has a dog that I watch when they go on vacations. I have professionally dogs at for 4 dogs that needed daily attention/food/bathroom breaks. In the clients home, I will care for the animals the same way that they do. As long as there is a routine, it will not get switched. I understand the psychological needs of a dog and when owners leave, new people are in the home, it can cause stress to the animal. Having the same routine can eliminate stress.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oswego
I was really happy with Lauchlan as my dog-sitter! I learned she's fostered dogs and cats so I knew she was a genuine animal lover. She responded to my messages quickly so I was able to book her services and relax knowing I had someone I trust to watch my dog while I was out of town for a weekend. She sent me a photo and written update after each visit, which put my mind at ease while I was away, knowing everything was going smoothly with her and my dog. My dog was happy and healthy upon my return. I would definitely book Lauchlan again!
Balbina was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She is incredibly reliable, responsible, and truly cares about animals. I always felt at ease knowing my boys were in such good hands. She was patient, kind, and made sure they were well taken care of and happy. She also communicated well and was very dependable throughout the entire booking. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Balbina!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oswego is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 3,160 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oswego. 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.
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 Oswego 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!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Oswego with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
