“Lauchlan was fantastic! She sent thorough daily reports and photos of her drop-in visits with our cat. I looked forward to each one and loved hearing that he got along so well with her. She was on time, respectful of our property, and followed instructions perfectly. I would absolutely book with her again next time we need a pet sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes our pets are part of the family. 🐾 I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who would love the opportunity to care for your dog while you’re away or give them some extra love and exercise during the day. I’m also a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own. A Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix! Having dogs with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels has given me plenty of hands-on experience understanding that every dog has their own unique needs and routine. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks & house sitting, and I’m happy to tailor my care to your dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs some playtime and attention, or simply wants someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important it is to feel confident when someone else is caring for your pet. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is doing well. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix. I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule with walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’m able to plan my week around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner. I have two dogs of my own so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making sure pets get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, food, and fresh water they need. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and will always keep them clean and secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Phoebe is a wonderful pet sitter, very kind and completely accepted by my cats, I am thrilled that we found her! One cat in particular never likes anyone (typically hides and does not come out for attention), and the pictures provided (with every visit!) always had my girl cat in the frame. That is something that no other sitters could do. Now I’ll skip to the end when we came back home and I announced to my husband that she was the best of all the cat sitters we’ve had! With other cat sitters, after being away for a week, I typically went downstairs to have to do much work in getting the cat quarters up to par - but she did a terrific job and I came upstairs with no work required. She was also a trooper in that I left her a very detailed list of how to handle our cats and she followed my instructions perfectly. We even had a day where there was an unexpected event (car trouble) that occurred and Phoebe was quick to communicate with me to figure out the best way to handle it. I’d highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care assistance while you are on vacation or away for a few days.”
About: Family first, paws included! I offer specialized care for all ages, from energetic puppy training to gentle, comforting support for senior dogs. Your pet is in safe, loving hands. My weekly routine is built around providing active, engaging, and reliable pet care. I dedicate my mornings to walks and puppy training reinforcement, afternoons to enriching playtime, and evenings to relaxed downtime with senior pets. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific feeding and sleeping habits to ensure a seamless, stress-free transition. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Because I believe pets are family, I create a calm, completely hazard-free environment whether they are staying with me or I am visiting your home. I double-check all gates and doors, use secure leashes on every walk, and ensure living areas—including litter boxes—are kept impeccably clean. I always send frequent photo updates so you know your best friend is safe.
“Sandra has walked our boys twice now and her service is top-notch. After our meet and greet in person with the pups, you could tell she takes a gentle, confident approach with all dogs. The two visits with our boys has been excellent. I would highly recommend Sandra to everyone.”
“Truly the gold standard of cat sitters! Caitlin was absolutely amazing from start to finish!!! Her communication was fantastic—so many thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos that made being away completely stress-free. She went above and beyond in every way, even taking care of things like the garbage and checking in on the house without being asked. Very impressively, she built a genuine relationship with our shy cat (which is no small feat!). It was clear our cat felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. We will be booking Caitlin again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Erin is great. One of the cats gets anxious when we leave and had a couple of accidents outside the litter box. Erin was so kind and understanding. She is the best. I feel so at ease watching my babies. I would highly recommend Erin.”
“Thank you Shannon for taking care of Milo and Chief this week! Your promptness and reliability really relieved worry for me on how long the dogs would be in the crates without a break.

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!
Alyssa is such an amazing sitter and caregiver! My 6 month GSD/Malinois mix is very energetic and can be a handful as he learns his commands and works through training but that didnt mind Alyssa! She helped reinforce his trainings during her time with him and although it took a few, he became acclimated to her and listened. Alyssa must be an animal whisperer! I am so happy we have found our "go to" sitter for Jefe! I cannot thank you enough as its very difficult for me to leave my little babes. You make it easy! ❤️

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 .

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 Oswego 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.
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.
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.
