About: I’ve taken care of and owned all kinds of animals, farm, rodents, birds, reptiles, insects, amphibians, exotics, as well as typical pets! I also have experience giving special care and/or medication to dogs, cats, bunnies, and more. I personally have 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs, and a hedgehog! I work part-time 2 days a week so I have lots of time to spend with your babies without you having to worry about quality of care! I will accommodate your animals to the best of my ability to keep to their normal routine including giving some overnight snuggles to anxious babies!
About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
About: Dogs are my passion.A dogs happiness is my happiness. I currently work at a dog daycare/boarding facility and I have worked with training dogs, dog sitting etc for a little over 4 years. I currently work part time, and watch, walk and welcome dogs anytime after 12 on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Your pet will be more than welcome and I’ll accommodate your pet anyway I can. I have a fenced in yard, and two amazingly friendly dogs, also I can crate your dog if you prefer. I have a large kennel, or if you prefer to bring your own. Whatever the client prefers.
“Rose was great with my older pup! She texted thoughtful questions before the visit to make sure she knew exactly what we needed and texted an update. My pups are looking forward to seeing her more!”
About: Have had cats, dogs and horses since I was 12 years old. Have a bachelors in animal science and have been working with domestic and farm animals since graduation. Currently work at a local vet’s office. I work full time during the weekdays but I am available before and after work to take care of animals. I am always available on weekends outside of my own animals. I would take care of your animals in the comfort of their own home to relieve stress. Boarding animals at my home is not available due to having my own dogs.
“Mia did an amazing job with lacy. She was punctual and took her time with our Lacy, which we greatly appreciate! She took care of our mail and deliveries. It brings a peace of mind knowing your elderly pet is in good hands when you're away, we highly recommend Mia.”
“Wasn't sure what to expect with my Chug being a bit of a challenge with new people. However, Olivia tackled the challenge with her expertise of pet care and Vinny had a great week. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a drop in sitter for your pet. Thank you so much Olivia.”
About: I’ve been around dogs/cats since i was able to walk, I absolutely adore any animal i cross paths with because they show nothing but unconditional love. When family members/friends/coworkers take vacations etc I am always the first to be asked because they know i will give their fur baby the best care while they are away. I’m a 911 dispatcher & tend to have days off during the week/weekends. I can be found helping tend to puppies with my dad, which can be quoted the handful, hanging out with his outside kitty’s or being a couch potato with my roomies dog at home. My dog Athena is 4 yrs old, she is kennel trained, potty trained & knows all the basic commands, along with being the best dog anyone could ask for. A lot of people say it but my animals are quite literally my entire world, so if the opportunity ever arose where someone trusted me to watch their animals, i wouldn’t hesitate to show the sweet babies so much love & care!
About: Responsible and compassionate, I am a 27-year-old dog lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As the owner of a German Shepherd for the past seven years, and through fostering and adopting other dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of canine care and behavior. I also worked for over a year at My Three Dogs daycare and boarding facility, supervising groups of 30+ large dogs. Passionate about animals and the outdoors, I bring reliability, patience, and genuine care to every dog I work with. Im free any day of the week for services. Im a big outdoor person and have a passion for dogs and what they are in need of. I have a big fenced in yard for your pet to run around in. My dog will also keep your pet company and occupied while I'm there.
About: I love animals (especially dogs). I’ve cared for tiny dogs, giant dogs and ones in between. I understand that just like all animals have their own personalities, they also have very specific and unique needs. I am an excellent communicator and do very well with instruction! I don’t discriminate from taking care of other animals either- cats, turtles, fish, bunnies.. I work remotely! So I am very flexible on my availability and can schedule and plan/ manage my time accordingly to meet per owner’s needs. I am open to caring for your pet in your home however is needed! Walking, feeding, bathing/ brushing, medicating, unlimited pets etc. I do love to play - so if you have a fenced in yard / prepare to have tired pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 392 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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
