“Shannon visited our cat everyday for a half hour as we requested. She updated us each day and Boots seemed to respond well to her. She did a great job! We would definitely use her again.”
About: Hello! my name is James and I love animals, specifically dogs. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I've been pet sitting for neighbors since I was 12, and my mom routinely has me take care of her two pups when she is out of town. I recently helped my girlfriend with a pet sitting job and I loved it, and the dog loved me, so that's what brought me here :) I'm currently in between jobs, so I am completely available. I will be out of town September 12th-15th, and this may change soon, but in the meantime time, feel free to reach out for any days needed! I make sure that the dog(s) are fed twice a day, or when requested by the owner, and I am always on top of making sure their water is clean and filled. I will also walk the dogs early in the morning, or later at night, as the pavement can get hot this time of year.
“Kara was on time for the meet and greet. She was engaging and showed genuine interest when we were talking. She has a quick smile which I liked. She got to meet Smoky but Joey was hiding under the bed because it was raining really hard and he hates the rain. It was a very positive meeting and we booked for Easter weekend. Gail”
About: I have been taking care of both cats and dogs ever since I was young for friends and family. I am currently attending college and I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been volunteering at my local animal shelter walking dogs for almost 5 years. During that time, I have worked with breeds ranging from Chihuahuas to Newfoundlands and I have worked with animals of all temperaments. I also have worked with many species like reptiles and large animals like cows and horses. During my schooling, I have been trained on administering medications to pets and I am able to work with the pets needs! Animals have always been my passion and I have dedicated my career path to helping animals! If you need someone to take your furry family members on walks, or just keep them company, I'm there for you! I work full time Monday-Friday 8-6 with one day off (usually tuesdays) as well as having weekends off! I work full time at a veterinary clinic located in Owego, monday through friday, 8-6pm and typically have friday off. I work a part time job in the morning on weekends but can adjust my schedule there as needed. I have a German shepherd mix and a cat at home, both are super friendly and love to play. Oakley loves to fetch and Denali loves to chase around the laser.
“Shelby was fantastic with my boys! She was easy to communicate with, followed all of my care instructions perfectly, and sent daily photo updates, which I really appreciated. My boys clearly enjoyed her drop-in visits. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴

About: I've always taken care of my family pets, and have dog-sat for family friends! I kept up with meds, food, play, and anything else the dogs needed or wanted. Anyone I've asked said that they were more than satisfied with my care. Over the summer, I'll be taking online classes and have a part-time job, so I'll be pretty flexible when it comes to stopping by or walking dogs! I unfortunately will not be able to offer services at my own home. I have dogs where that type of activity just wouldn't suite them.
“Lindsay is amazing. She always goes above and beyond with care. I needed to adjust one of my drop-in visits while I was away, and she worked with me to make sure Josie still received the very best care. Great communication. My cat can be shy when new people come over or if she feels likes something's up and will sometimes hide in those cases. She requires an inhaler due to a medical condition, so I worried this could be an issue if she hid. It turns out that I had nothing to worry about as I received many pictures of Josie in Lindsay's looking happy as can be. It means a lot to me to have a sitter that I trust that my cat also likes.”

Julia was great! She made everything easy and did exactly what we asked during her visits. She sent us some really sweet photos of our cat Cowpoke, who’s usually shy around strangers but seemed at ease and friendly with her! It was a smooth experience overall. I’d definitely recommend her to other cat owners and would be happy to book with her again!

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 .

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 Owego 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 Owego. On Rover:
- 82% 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.
