“Stephanie was kind and understanding. She was punctual and attentive to our babies. She sent notes and pics of the girls daily. Izzy and Birdie seemed to love her company. We so appreciate her care.”
About: I've grown up with big dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I truly love animals and know they're not just pets, they're family. I'm patient, gentle, and love getting to know each dog's little personality and quirks. Whether your pup loves long walks, lots of attention, or just needs someone they can feel comfortable with, I'll treat them with the same love and care I'd give my own. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. I’m very easy to communicate with, respond quickly, and will always keep you updated while your pets are in my care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any specific needs your pet may have. I’ll always keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and never put them in an unsafe situation. I’m also very attentive and will reach out right away if I notice anything unusual or have any concerns.
About: I currently have two cats and help care for a family dog as needed. I love walking dogs and playing fetch. I have had experience training some tricks but not with other basic skills with dogs. Caring for pets can be easily incorporated into my schedule. I have a consistent schedule and a car that is well maintained so driving to homes wont be a problem. Will provide reliable and loving service to all pets. Clear communication will be provided, as well as pictures and videos of pets can be sent.
“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!!!”
About: I have had pets and been surrounded by animals my whole life. I currently have two boy cats named Loki and Oscar. I have taken care of cats, kittens, special needs pets, and all ages and breeds of dogs from newborn to senior. I work from home between 8am and 4:30 pm I am currently located in Fulton and during the week prefer to stay nearby. On the weekends I will travel as far as Syracuse and Oswego for pet care. At my home I provide a water fountain, toys, treats and a separate space if needed. I spend genuine time and patience with each animal I care for to ensure there is a trusting relationship. No one wants to be stressed out especially not your beloved pet and I’ll take the extra mile to provide that comfort.
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)
About: Ive taken my years of doggie daycare experience to the world of Rover in the name of convenience for my clients! My area of expertise is training, and I have a deep understanding of dog behavior and body language. Each and every dog is unique, especially yours! I’m currently working part time and have been primarily working towards my training clients. I will be available next month, around most weekday evenings and weekends. Understanding what a dog values sets me apart! Play time is key, and I use any time I have to play indoors, outdoors, in a structured way to help dogs with their behavior, at the clients, and dogs comfort level.
About: I have worked with animals all my life from having them growing up to caring for them for other people. I am willing to accommodate any situation! I am currently working part time hours at my job but I have lots of availability and can accommodate pretty much anything! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! My mom and I have a fenced in backyard and a very nice neighborhood for walking if you plan on having your pets stay with me. We are occasionally doing this together since I work part time already she is also very pet friendly. I am very vigilant on making sure they get there play time in and walks.
“Autumn came in clutch for my baby. She got her to warm up to her quickly. She also did her hair for me and made sure she was taken care of while I was gone. The daily pictures and updates kept me going and less stressed while I was away.. I am so grateful for her and I will be booking her again.”

Thank you for being an amazing sitter for our Toulie, even when he was being a menace during mealtimes. It's been a blessing to work with you 😸 Also love your daughter calling the springs pokeballs and he would definitely be a steel type lol! See you next week!
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
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!!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oswego is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 225 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
