“April was my first Rover feeder and I couldn’t have been happier. She went the extra mile (brought in packages, sent pictures, gave pets) and communicated amazingly. I will be remembering her services for next time.”

“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”

I love to spend some of my free time loving on pets! It's a great way get to know some more of the area also! I am very detail-oriented and will care for and love on your pet as much as possible! I love to play with pets and take them for walks.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old and I grew so much love for them. I enjoy being active with dogs and making sure that they get their playtime and I love cuddling cats and making sure that they’re getting the attention. I’m currently working full-time and I’m off by five every evening. And off at 3 on Mondays. And have Sunday and Wednesdays off I would love to take a day out of my week to play with your pups! My dog does not have a fence at the moment, so I’m constantly taking her on walks and making sure she’s going outside if your dog needs to be created or on a leash I would be willing to do so!! I enjoy taking my pup on walks
“Amanda was amazing! She came to meet us and our pups, asked questions to ensure she had information needed to care for our dogs and was very timely for all check ins. There was even some issues with our pups and she sought to arrange a solution that worked great!”
“Aida did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs, one of whom has special needs. She was very prompt and provided great feedback. Felt really comfortable leaving our two pups with her!”
About: With a background in veterinary technology schooling and professional experience at a dog daycare, I offer knowledgeable, high-quality care for your beloved pets. I have a lifetime of hands-on experience owning and caring for animals of all sizes—from hamsters to horses—and am fully confident and experienced in administering medications if your pet needs them. Whether your animal is big, small, high-energy, or needs extra medical attention, I am dedicated to keeping them safe, happy, and well-loved while you are away! I am currently a stay at home mom with a 3 year old little boy. Looking to make some extra money helping others with trustworthy and loving care for their pets. I would love to provide care for clients from their homes. I can do over nights, or just spend a few hours with your beloved pet. Take them on walks and give them lots of cuddles.
About: ✨️🐶 Please read my profile in full (including availability and pricing sections) before reaching out with a service request 🌈🌥🐈⬛ I have always loved and cared about the welfare of animals ever since I can remember, and even had several different pets of my own growing up that I cared for, including a couple of dogs (one of which lived to be 17 years old!). I have past experience with volunteering at organisations such as the SPCA (providing care for cats, dogs, and rabbits) and caring for cats at AniMall Cat Clinic. I have helped several close ones and neighbours thoroughout the years with pet care needs for their dogs and cats, which included: feeding, walking, providing transportation to veterinary appointments, bathing, basic grooming, and just spending quality time with the pets. Some of my specialised experience includes caring for pets with mobility issues, breeds that are reactive to other dogs (but still love the company of humans), breeds that are often subject to housing or insurance restrictions (some of which have included: Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweiler mixes, Belgian Malinois, Huskies, Dobermans, Staffordshire Terriers, Malamutes, and American Bullies), and experience in administering medication to both dogs and cats in oral, injectable, and topical forms. 🐾 Please note I work M-F full time (excluding major holidays), and am unable to provide midday breaks when working due to the nature of my work. For bookings that fall on weekdays, I am not able to reliably accomodate pets that require someone to be home with them throughout the day or need frequent potty breaks. I can best accommodate pets whose daytime care needs would be covered while I'm at work (such as through a doggy door or litter box, neighbour check ins, or if pets need less frequent bathroom breaks) . 🌟I am open to discussing alternatives as well such as taking your pet to doggy day care while I work. However, transportation will incur an extra fee in addition to the booking that varies depending on distance and time requirements. For walks and drop ins in particular, I would be a great choice for pet parents that need care in evenings, nights, and weekends. I focus on understanding each dog's individual temperament, communication style, and needs. I will listen to/observe your pet's body language and demeanour before approaching, and will always interact with them gently and kindly. On walks, I always use a leash or harness to keep the pet safe. Furthermore, I always strive to keep an eye out for any potential hazards to pets while they are in my care and will always act swiftly to remove said hazard so your pet will be out of harm's way. I do believe too that good pet care includes planning for the unexpected, so I like to establish emergency contacts, veterinary/animal hospital information, and contingency plans with every client before a stay (and preferably have these included in written directions too).
About: I have had pets most of my life. I've experienced the highs and lows of loving another critter. I would love the opportunity to be a positive for your critter, pup, or cat while you are away. I will provide loving care and attention to your loved ones. I am an elementary teacher. I am able to travel to your location before work (7am) and after work (3pm) most week days and available for weekend beginning Friday at 3pm until I have a large 4' and 5' fenced yard with trees on a nice corner lot. Lots of space for running, playing, and lounging in the shade or bathing in in sunlight.
About: Hey there! My name is Courtney, I am 30 years old and I’ve always loved dogs! I currently live with my husband, our 3 year old son, and our 2 lab-mixed rescues (black lab 8y, yellow lab 6y). I have used Rover over the last 9 years and love meeting new pups. I primarily offer walks and drop-ins, but have flexibility for dog sitting or house sitting as well. I absolutely love walking around near my house or traveling to other areas, and try getting outside as much as possible. I have a very flexible work schedule that accommodates any obligations I have, as well as work from home capabilities. My weekends tend to be very open as well, as long as I have notice and a schedule. I look forward to (hopefully) working with you and your furry friend as soon as possible! ***Also taking recurring dog walking or house visits! Primarily in the summer months but open to other times of year! I am a very schedule oriented person with a lot of love for furry friends. Having grown up with dogs, and now two dogs of my own, I understand the commitment and devotion needed for furry friends. Safety and trust are the first steps in any pet care scenario. I want the dog to get acclimated to me as I am to them, and to know I’m here to help and spend quality time together. I have done many types of care including onboarding, walking, drop in, house sitting, and medication administering.
About: I will treat your furry friends like family. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a long-term trip, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in loving, professional hands. Trust us to provide personalized care, cuddles, and companionship while you're away—because they deserve the best, and so do you! I am available 7 days a week and committed to providing compassionate, loving care for your loved pets in the comfort of their/ my home. I live in an end-unit townhome with ample yard space, providing a comfortable and secure environment for your pet. For added safety, I have a yard line to keep your dog secure during their stay. Additionally, I have plenty of toys and treats to keep your pet entertained and comfortable.
About: Working in the pet industry for almost 2 decades, you can trust it’s my passion to take care of your pet. It’s my greatest joy to spend each day with animals. I’m available between 1 and 2pm everyday, then again from 5pm- 8pm. Weekends I’ve dedicated entirely to for pet care. I love having a full schedule. I can use any type you’d like. Crates, kennels, leashes, harnesses, etc. At my own home, we use only a 6ft lead in the yard. No kennels.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Otsego
Marcale was an awesome caretaker for our dogs while we were away! She went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and help us out. She was very communicative and stayed right on schedule with the visits. She made it easy for me to relax and not worry about the dogs while we were away on vacation.
Kacey is absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two pugs and provided fantastic communication throughout the entire stay. It’s such a relief knowing my pups are in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!
The amazing care Juno received, and subsequent gratitude we have towards Nathaniel and Alyssa, is hard to put into words. Juno had a medical emergency in our absence. Nathaniel and Alyssa deftly navigated keeping us informed, while simultaneously not over worrying us with things that were out of our control, thousands of miles away, with little to no communication services; we trusted their judgement implicitly with regards to Juno’s care. They will be our go-to caregivers providers for Juno,

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Otsego is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 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 3,984 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Otsego. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Otsego choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Otsego with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Otsego. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
