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.
“Erin was absolutely amazing. She was punctual and took the time to write daily updates on how he did with each visit that also included a pic, I looked forward to each one. She took amazing care of my Moose. I highly recommend Erin, she is truly the best.”

I do have 3 children so being good around kids for stays with me is a must! Thank you! I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I will be home with your pets all day long! We like to spend a lot of the day out in the fenced in backyard, and getting cozy on the couch afterwards for a nap! We have a monthly bark box subscription, so we have plenty of toys to play with! I have a big fenced in yard, and sweet dogs, eager to meet some new friends to play with! We do not have crates at my home, but always welcome to stay consistent with your preference of crate training if necessary!
“Kari was wonderful with my cats and followed all of my instructions carefully. She even cleaned up Bart’s little accidents and the excess litter around the boxes. Most impressively, she completely won Lisa over and even earned a few kisses, which is no small achievement! I will happily book her again.”
“Sara watched our dog on our wedding day and was absolutely amazing. She brought our pup to our wedding venue to get pictures with us and did a great job keeping up with him there. I felt at ease that I didn’t have to worry about my dog all day and knew he was in good hands from all the pictures and communication from Sara throughout the day. Thank you Sara!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family dog until he passed. He was 16yrs old. I also take care of my sisters dog. He is a Husky/ German Shepard mix. My dog recently passed and I miss walking him. His daily walks were 7am and 6:30pm. I’m also opened to walking your dog on weekends. I have a huge fenced yard and a one floor home to reduce stair climbing for senior dogs. I have a car seat for small dogs and do enjoy taking them on DQ runs with the owners permission.
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and I love to meet new animals! My home currently has 2 corgis I raised from puppies and a senior cat. I would love to meet your furry friends and be a warm, comforting presence for them during their day. I currently work full-time from home with a flexible schedule, so daytime visits can be arranged. I have wider availability on evenings and weekends, which is typically my preference. I have a lot of patience and will work hard to build a bond of trust with your pet so they will feel more secure and comfortable with a stranger in their home. I will do my best to be respectful of your home and your personal space so everyone can be comfortable and have the best experience possible.
About: I've been a pet sitter, groomer, been involved in boarding, training, daycare, and even swimming dogs. I also grew up with farm animals my whole life. I am very hardworking and can administer meds and solve problems when needed. I am currently working part time at a boarding facility where I play with and clean up after dogs all day. I also volunteer as a trainer in my free time. I live on a farm so I have experience with multiple different kinds of animals and almost every single animal ive ever met has loved me! I am very loving and respectful towards all animals and am able to problem solve when needed and administer meds if needed.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Velcro dog mom to two high-energy Goldendoodles, plus a 10-year-old rescue cat I took in after a box of kittens was left at the pet store where I worked. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Living with two anxious, very attached doodles has given me hands-on experience with dogs who need structure, reassurance, and enrichment to thrive. I’m comfortable adapting to any personality — from independent cats to sensitive or high-energy pups — and I’m especially skilled at helping anxious dogs feel safe through positive reinforcement, exercise, mental stimulation, and consistency. I’m gentle, highly attentive, and detail-oriented with routines, feeding, medications, and behavioral cues. I believe in building trust with every pet so they feel secure, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. You’ll always receive thoughtful updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease.
“Stephanie was fantastic with our cats and diligently adhered to all the instructions provided. I highly recommend her services and would gladly book her again in the future.”

Your pet will be taken care of like it was a part of this family! We are available for boarding mostly on weekends only but could adjust our schedule if needed to accommodate you for a long weekend away! We have 3 little kids so we don’t do much, hanging at home and relaxing is our usual. We have a fenced in big backyard for your fur baby to run around in! We have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company! Plenty of bones and treats to go around if you choose!! Lots of toys and love!!
About: I have 3 large dogs in my household, all of very different personalities. On top of that, friends and family have also relied on me to take care of their pets while they are away as well. Recently, I have taken interest in animal rescue, and have helped rescue and send an injured mallard to the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors. I am currently a student at west aurora highschool, and I am a member of the national honor society. I come home to my three dogs and sometimes go to Oswego to take care of my families pets over there as well. I will be able to regularly check up on your pets and keep them well hydrated and fed. As well as going on walks to stay active.
“I just got home to the happiest kitties - Amelia was great! She’s an excellent communicator and I’m grateful that someone so caring was here for the cats while I was away. Thank you, Amelia!”
About: I am a caring and patient individual who loves taking care of pets as if they were my own. Life gets busy and owners need help, I believe all pets deserve to be taken care of by people who will love them like their owners do. My Pets: Two Cats (Feeding, Grooming, Handling, Litterbox, Medication) My family were the proud owners of two amazing sister cats for 16 years. My girls have since passed away in 2022 and 2025. I was fortunate enough to help take care of them from infancy, and then taking on a lot of responsibilities in their old age as I got older. Accumulating skills to take care of cats at any age. Being present while my cats aged and experienced various health issues, I learned many skills that I can apply in this new venture of becoming an animal sitter. I able to give medicine in pill or shot form. I am able to prepare speciality meals for an animals specific needs. I am also capable of performing basic cat chores. My Family's Pets: Black Lab Mix and Cat (Feeding, Grooming, Handling) I am an individual who likes to spend time with animals whenever I can. My grandmother lives very close to me, so I often go over to help her with her animals. She has a black lab mix and an energy filled boy cat. I frequently take her dog for walks and bathroom breaks, as well as feeding them both when needed. When my grandmother first got her lab, I was the main person training her and teaching her commands at a basic level. Being a patient individual, I am able to spend time with animals teaching them the basic behavioral traits. My Neighbor's Pets: Long Haired Labrador (Feeding, Handling) For the past few months, I have been taking care of my neighbor's 85 pound long-haired Labrador. This requires me to go over and take him out, feed him, and play with him. I also spend my time teaching him various commands he needs help with. This experience has technically been my first hired sitter job and I am looking for more as I love spending time with animals and giving them the love their owners do. I am currently in a Master's Program in the city. I have classes Mon-Wed. The rest of the week I am available at all hours. I love all pets like they are my own. Providing animals with a safe space to be themselves in their home and helping them in any way that I can.

Each pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Caring for these pets is not just my passion, it’s also my full-time commitment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oswego is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 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 October 2026, there are 3,291 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Oswego. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
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.
