Shelby does a fantastic job with our cats every time we are away! She’s always attentive to their needs and spends time making sure they get lots of love and playtime. She sends great updates and pics from each visit so we know how they are doing. They can be pretty messy with kicking litter around, but she stays on top of that too. We appreciate the five star service every time!

Raven did drop ins for our cats while we were on vacation and she did a great job! We felt she took good care of the house, making sure to notify us when she thought something was amiss. The cats had fun with her! We look forward to using Raven again!

Arianne was great with our boy Carbon. It was his first time spending a night without me or my husband present since we got him 3+ years ago, and she made sure that it wasn't a bad experience for him. We definitely went overboard when it came to providing information about him, but Arianne was able to handle it all without issue. 6/5.

Nate did a great job!!!! He was good with our dogs and they loved him. He used good judgment and took great care of them. He goes above and beyond. We will try and book Nate whenever we travel. It’s wonderful to leave town and know that your animals are well cared for. Nate does an outstanding job! Highly recommend.

If I could give a million stars I would. Stephanie was absolutely heaven sent. David is extremely guarded however by the time it was time for me to come home Stephanie had him eating out of her hand literally. Trinity is a diva that was catered to. I loved the pictures and updates. If you ever need a sitter pick STEPHANIE!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently have four dogs; I have two female German shepherds, a male golden doodle, and a female black Labrador retriever. I have house sat a couple of times with the dogs I own, but I have also house sat for two Rhodesian ridgebacks and two cats regularly. When I am away at school, I volunteer at the Heartland Humane Society in Yankton SD once a week. I play, walk, and enrich all the different dogs in that facility. I currently work part time, usually in the evenings; I have plenty of time to hang out with your pups! I would be able to stop by for potty breaks frequently or go on walks. If overnight services are needed, I would be able to stay overnight and take care of your animal’s needs. I love animals. When I dog or house sit, I hang out with the animals as much as possible. I am vigilant and make sure that they are being properly cared for.

This was Cecilia and Kiya's first time meeting. I think it went pretty well. Kiya is a bit of a nervous cat and will stay away until she knows you better. She also has to have medicine every other day and sometimes is hard to catch. She likes having someone in the house all the time so me being gone stresses her. I think the second day Kiya actually played a little with Cecilia and wanted to be petted. Hopefully the next time I have to be gone things will be even better.

About: Services offered: Dog sitting, Cat sitting, other animal sitting, dog walking, dog behavior reinforcement, animal enrichment, basic grooming/sanitary shaving/mat removal, medication administration (oral, IV, IM, SQ), daily routine encouragement, and more! All services are tailored to your pets needs! What sets me apart is my combination of veterinary, shelter medicine, behavior, and hands-on pet care experience. As a current veterinary technician and former Medical Manager at a Humane Society, I bring a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, stress, and emotional well-being than the average pet sitter. My care philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement, patience, and trust-building. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an anxious rescue, a senior pet, or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I tailor my approach to their individual needs and personality. Clear and concise communication with you as the owner, is utmost important when caring for your fur baby! I am experienced with medication administration, senior pet care, behavioral support, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure while their families are away. My background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and communicate any concerns promptly. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with compassion, attention to detail, and a commitment to providing a low-stress, enriching experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. We’ll start by discussing your pet’s unique needs, routine, and preferences, as well as your expectations for their care. From there, we’ll create a plan that works best for both you and your pet while fitting within my full-time work schedule. I pride myself on being flexible, reliable, and easy to work with. As a veterinary professional, I have the ability to adjust my schedule when needed, including stopping by during the day for potty breaks, medication administration, or check-ins. For overnight care, I can provide visits before and after work to ensure your pet maintains their routine and receives consistent, attentive care. My goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible, providing dependable care and clear communication so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I provide care for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home because I believe familiar surroundings are essential to their emotional well-being. Remaining in their normal environment helps reduce stress, anxiety, and disruptions to their routine, allowing them to feel safe and secure while you're away. This is especially important for cats, as changes in environment can often lead to stress-related behaviors and, in some cases, illness. By keeping your pet in their home and maintaining their usual routine, I help create a calm, low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional health. Rather than requiring your pet to adjust to a new setting, I come to them. This allows your furry family member to receive personalized, compassionate care where they are most comfortable—right at home. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a positive, stress-free experience for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Black Hawk on Rover is $12.84 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 121 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Black Hawk. 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 Black Hawk 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
