“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic with our two cats! Our cat Orange was recovering from very recent dental operations and needed medicine twice a day and special food requirements, and Stephanie was able to take care of him with no problems. I really think our cats are going to miss her, in fact! She was also very thorough with her communication/updates and took plenty of photos! I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough. ?”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I truly love spending time with dogs—playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I have a friendly cocker spaniel named Stevie who loves other dogs, and we offer a cozy, welcoming home for overnight stays where your pup will be treated like part of the family. I currently work full time. I’m up early every morning with my dog before I head into to work - I go home on lunch every day to let her out. I work close to home so if I need to run home, it only takes a minute. I have a fenced in yard. During the day the dog can be free in the house or if you prefer to have them created, we have a large crate.

“Dani was great throughout our multi-day vacation. She communicated daily and sent photos of our kitties, making sure that we always knew they were being taken care of. She also was super helpful in closing the windows and setting up the air purifier to clean the smoke from forest fires out of the air. Dani is clearly an animal lover, is very friendly, extremely reliable and we will definitely ask her to cat-sit for us in the future! Very highly recommend!!!”

“Elise watched my cat, Roger, for nearly a month. She was attentive, punctual, and clearly showed him a ton of love. She sent photos every visit, and when I arrived home, Roger was almost disappointed to see me because he missed Elise. If you are going away, and want to have peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of and loved, hire Elise. She is one of the best”

“We have a very energetic husky, that needs a confident person to handle him. Mariana was totally fine with his style of affection immediately, and handles him incredibly well. I knew she’d be the right person after seeing pictures of her with huskies in her profile! We’re so excited to find someone who our puppy loves, that can get some of his crazy energy out when we’re not home! Looking forward to using Mariana in the future for our trips (and are sure that the puppy will miss her when we’re back home).”

Kaylee was a life saver when my partner and I needed someone to watch our little Toulie over the weekend last minute! She provided plenty of pictures for updates and we came home to our sweet boy happy and healthy! Will definitely be repeat customers 😊

Isabella came to our place last night for a drop-in visit for our dog, Rudy. She stopped by a couple days before the scheduled visit to meet Rudy and learn his routine, which I was so appreciative of! She was very kind, communicative, and clearly has a love for animals. She even gave our cats some snuggles on the drop-in visit. Thank you Isabella, we will definitely be reaching out again in the future 😊

Katrina is great! My 2 pitties can be a bit much at times but she handles them wonderfully and doesn't let them get away with being naughty. She is also flexible and accommodating with changing times when theres been a change to our normal routine/schedule. Highly recommend Katrina's services.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oswego on Rover is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 232 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 .

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 , 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
