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.
“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 😊”
“Ashley took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. It was our first time leaving him and she made sure we had no concerns, gave him lots of love, and definitely put my mind at ease! She even offered to get our mail and water the plants, certainly not necessary but very much appreciated! Good to know we have such a great option for pet care with her in the future!”
“Rachael did a great job with Theo! She sent updates and pics which were so appreciated. We have never done anything like this before (hiring from Rover) and will definitely use Rachael again. Thank you!”
“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. ?”
“She did amazing with the our zoo. Dogs, cats, and birds. helped with medication and even cleaned up mess here and there. All the animals were in good spirits at us arriving home. She took awesome pictures of all the animals that made us worry less about all the pets while we were gone.”
“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!!!”

“We just moved here last month and figured we wouldn't be able to do much anytime soon because of our animals. Had an emergency and needed someone quick...so searched pet sitters in oswego and found Rover... and it is so awesome to feel comfortable having someone watch your animals that you know you can trust after instantly meeting them. Super nice to my crazy pups and sent super cute pictures. Will definitely use again. Thanks Kaylee!”
“Hayley has watched our pup and was very quick with replying on a short-notice basis! We will continue to use her services whenever we need check-ins since we both live crazy lifestyles. She sent pictures, gave updates, and did everything the way we discussed prior. Definitely recommend Hayley! 😊”
About: Having been through a fairly traumatic dog attack myself, I made it my mission to learn all about dog's behavior and why they do what they do. I have studied different ways of training and learning how to react to certain situations with them. I promise to love and give all the fun play time, cuddle time, and attention to your favorite furry friend! Your doggy can sleep in my bed and hang out on the couch. If you are anything like me, your dog is your best friend and child! I had an amazing female Boston Terrier who lived to 13 1/2. I am versed in care of elderly dogs. My new venture is a deaf puppy. We are learning hand signals for training. He is very friendly and loves to make new friends. If you have any questions about what I'm willing to do, or can and can't do, please don't hesitate to ask me! I work for a family business, and can bring my dog to work. Therefore, your pup will be able to come to work with me! I will love your baby as if it was my own. Dogs will always be leashed outside. They are allowed on furniture here and are welcome to snuggle anytime! But if you have different rules , please tell me so I can abide by them.

About: Hello, My name is Morgan, I have grown up in a very pet friendly home over the past 30 years. I have had animals for as long as I can remember. Including dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, lizzards, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. :) I have provided pet care for multiple people in my area over the past many years and just absolutely find it so fulfilling! Animals are a huge part of my life and bring me so much joy. In my opinion, there is no better job than that of animal caretaking. I am always open to any job that needs to be done. I can pet sit in my own home or I can go to you. I firmly believe that an animal is best kept at home where they are most comfortable. I have house/pet sat the majority of my side career and have found my customers to be very satisfied in the end. I even farm sit (horses, goats, sheep, etc) and and can do all the feeding, mucking, turning out and turning in! Lifelong experience with small animals and 27 years experience with large (horses, goats, cows) animals. All the above is just my quick profile. If you need to know more, feel free to get a hold of me! Thanks! -Morgan I’m currently only working part-time so I have lots of time to play with your pups, cats, etc! My schedule is very open usually after 10-11 am M-F. Weekends I’m off of work. My yard is not fenced in but I ALWAYS leash any dog that stays with me while we are outside. I also have recall training leashes available to allow the dog to run around and play while still safely being on leash. As for care in your home, I will utilize any items/devices you ask, i.e. special training collars, leashes, e-collar devices (I have experience with these as I use them on my own dogs). I take the animals safety very seriously and am always open and willing to meet your needs, whatever that may be.
About: I’ve had almost every type of pet growing up and have experience with dogs. Friends and family have also relied on me to take care of their dogs. I currently am working part time for the summer and will have lots of time on weekdays and weekends to walk dogs. Also, I will be available walk multiple dogs. I have an apartment where dogs can feel safe, but will not offer dog sitting at my own place. I can dog walk and watch your dogs at my client’s home - ensuring they feel comfortable.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Oswego on Rover is $19.98 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 266 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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
