“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”

“We are a repeat customer for Ginger. Ginger has a love of animals and especially our 80 pound Doodle, Lupin! We can always count on her taking excellent care of Lupin and our home when we are away. Everything is always perfect when we get back home. Looking forward to our next trip in which we will again be using Ginger! Thank YOU!”
“I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was phenomenal and went above and beyond in caring for my dogs and my home. From the start, she truly listened to my care instructions and respected the routines and individual needs of each dog. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind while I was away. I returned to a clean, tidy home and, most importantly, happy dogs who had clearly been loved and well cared for. As a pet owner, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing someone treats your dogs with that level of care. She exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely trust her with them again!”
“This was the first time we used Isabella and were very happy with her service. It was a little hard for her as she had to take over for the last 3 days from another sitter but she was very cooperative and handled it well! I liked that she sent us pictures and a note of all the the things she did before leaving. I will definitely use Isabella again!”
“Erin took really great care of our dog while we were on a long trip. She stayed with Ruby most of the time, played with her, took her on walks, and gave her treats! She also kept us informed with pictures and messages daily. When Ruby started getting into our shoes, she sent us photos of what was damaged and moved them somewhere Ruby couldn’t get to them. Having her watch Ruby took a huge weight off our shoulders being away from her. Highly recommend!”
“Alec watched our three angels while we went our our honeymoon and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to do so. He did a phenomenal job with them and provided many pictures and updates. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be using him again.”
About: I have trained puppies, designed programs to solve behavior problems in adult dogs, cared for senior dogs, specializing in multi-dog households with a mix of all the above. I am currently designing software for a start-up idea so my schedule is very flexible. Ideal hours for day visits are between 8am - 9pm, overnight from 7pm - 9am “ish” and always available for emergencies. Different pets have different wants/needs so I will adapt my gameplan accordingly. Each visit will include some form of exercise, training and lots of love. My yard is fenced and my house is puppy-proofed. Lots of soft and shaded places to nap, inside and out. I use pest control and landscaping services so the yard is virtually free of stinging or biting insects and dangerous weeds or flowers. Clients can expect me to care for their pets and their property with utmost respect for house rules, privacy and courtesy.
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life - from my own to those of neighbors and family friends. I am able to care for young puppies to those of a more senior age. I work at a restaurant so have a somewhat flexible schedule. I can do drop ins, overnights, and walks. I would love to help your pet get the care they need! I care for each and every pet like they are my own. First and foremost I will prioritize their safety, and your wishes as the pet parent!
“Aubrey was wonderful staying in my home and caring for my dog and cat. She stayed in touch during our vacation which gave me peace of mind that all was good. I will definitely request Aubrey in the future!”
“Grace immediately bonded with Quinn. Not only was she attentive to him, but she communicated regularly, took lots of pictures, offered to do laundry, and even changed the bedding before she left. Grace was approached by my next-door neighbor, a condo president (who frequently misunderstands his purview), in a verbally aggressive way. She handled herself admirably and made it clear she would not leave Quinn. I would book Grace again.”

I offer pet sitting at my home with a secure, fenced-in backyard, ensuring a safe and fun environment. I take animal care seriously, providing consistent, loving, and responsible attention, including any needed medical care. You can trust that your pets will receive the same love and protection I gave to Coco, with plenty of photo updates to keep you connected. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am usually working from home so I will be available to care for your pets. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your pet company. I ensure top-notch care by carefully boarding pets that I believe will do well in my house. To provide the best experience, I would need to know your pet's daily routines, medication requirements, and any other special needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 9. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Pet care fits into my schedule because I’m at home numerous times throughout the day with me being a personal trainer. My clients are scattered through out the day so it makes it easy to take care of pets while during my down times in the day! I have a pretty good sized back yard that is great for my two dogs as well as a fenced in back yard. We often have our friends dogs over as well and there is always plenty of space for them all.
“Bri made me feel so comfortable with leaving town knowing how much my kitty liked her at the meet and greet and the time she took to let me get to know her. She took excellent care of my senior kitty who gets very stressed when left alone and was more than happy to spend above and beyond time with her, giving her love and attention and even making sure her bird shows were on/sat with her during tv time which is my cats absolute favorite thing 😸. She had no problem staying the night so my kitty didn’t get stressed being all alone and was totally good with kitty sleeping above her head..:the highest compliment in kitty world. 😻 She took excellent care of the house and checked on plants as well per my request. She had no issue with changing potty pads which is an unusual request for cat sitting to say the least haha. She also kept me supplied with updates and pics to set my mind at ease. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone! 10/10”
About: I've grown up with animals my entire life and have experience caring for my own pets as well as those of friends and family. I love animals of all sizes and personalities, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and kindness. I'm responsible, organized, and communicative, and I take the trust involved in caring for someone's beloved pet seriously. I have a calm, gentle approach and enjoy taking the time to help animals feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for while their family is away. ❤️ I currently work part-time as a substitute teacher, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I'm available for cat drop-in visits, dog walks, and weekend house sitting in your home. I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's routine and needs. I understand how important consistency and dependable care are, and I'd love to help give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands while you're away! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets during walks, and watch for any changes in behavior or signs of stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Black Jack
Janay and Carlton were great! They were so good with Percy and they were very communicative with me during their stay. It was so nice to get videos of him playing so I knew he was relaxed and happy. In addition they were very respectful of my home while they stayed here. If any concerns or questions arised they did not hesitate to message me and we quickly addressed them. I would highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs! I will definitely use them in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Black Jack
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,626 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Black Jack. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Black Jack walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Black Jack maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Black Jack 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
