“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!”
“Milo and Buddy were well-cared for and happy to see Balbina at every visit. We especially loved the little song she composed for their last visit (even though they both look unimpressed in the video, they really secretly loved it!). Balbina will be our first choice next time we need her help!”
About: I grew up with pets in my house and have had responsibility for special needs animals. Currently have a chihuahua and a Saint Bernard. I am a strong pack leader that understands dogs needs and provides for the a safe and fun environment. I have cared for special needs animals and can administer medication. I have cared for dogs ranging from a 4 pound teacup chihuahua to a 100 plus pound Rottweiler. I will take great care to make sure all of your pets needs are taken care of. A safe environment with fenced in yard and unlimited supervised outdoor playtime is available. If you prefer I can check in on your pet in their own home always remembering that I am entering their territory. Walks provided in a safe residential neighborhood.
“Thank you, Phoebe! Very kind, compassionate and loving towards my two kitties! From the pictures and text massages, it definitely reassured me that my guys were in Great Hands! Highly recommended Phoebe for you per sitting needs!”
“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!”
“Samantha did a great job of taking care of our almost 11 year old Zeus! We had some drop in visits and Samantha sent us notes and photos of her time with Zeus. We were very happy and highly recommend.”
“Would 100% book Roger again! I had a last minute need for a sitter (I was already across the country) and he was worried about finding my reactive aussie a good fit. Roger was able to not only check all the boxes, but also go above and beyond. Communication and flexibility were a 10/10. It was clear my dog had a great time & hopes to see him again soon!”
About: Hello! My name is Kasey and I absolutely LOVE dogs. My whole life I have been a dog lover. I like big dogs, small dogs, and anywhere in between. I live in large house with plenty of space for your dog to roam and have a large, fenced back yard for exercise. Dogs are allowed on furniture in this house! I will watch your dog during the day or over night. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking. I am home during the day, most days of the week, and can let your dog out to play or run or go potty frequently. I love to snuggle with dogs so don't worry about your dog feeling lonely. If dogs want to feel the comfort of their kennel or crate that is fine too. This is a loving home for all dogs.
“I was very anxious about leaving my cat alone for the first time, but my meet and greet with Ally was so easy and comfortable I had no concerns. My cat even played with her and he doesn’t always like strangers. Would definitely book Ally again.”
“Erin was the best person to choose for the job! She is a wonderful person who took excellent care of our cats while we were away for a week. She played with them, cleaned their boxes, and maintained their feeders/waters. She was even able to get our shy cat to come out. I look forward to booking her again!”
“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. I appreciate the daily walks! Thanks again! You’re definitely recommend and I’ll reach out to you again when needed!”
“Caitlin did such an amazing job with 2 cats, one if which can be difficult. Caitlin came daily at the time promised, sent detailed notes on how the visit went as well as adorable pictures of the stay! Definitely a 5 star sitter!”
About: I've spent the last 10 years around puppies and big high energy dogs. I've handled pretty much everything a dog can possibly throw at me. Whatever quirks your dog has, I'm ready for it!! I'm completely available! I've got a pup of my own to take care of, so I understand that dogs usually stay on a tight schedule, and sometimes their schedule doesn't line up with yours. I'll do my best to be there when you need me! 👍 I'm unable to petsit at my own home, but I'm great at keeping things clean and respecting any boundaries clients may want to set with their home and/or pet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oswego
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! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Oswego on Rover is $22.2 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 3,673 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oswego. 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 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.
