“Cynthia was wonderful. She kept in touch with us with pictures almost every half hour to an hour. She was very flexible in her schedule time and understood about the events happen to be moved that the military did we enjoyed her company as did the dogs we highly recommend her and are planning to use her again”
“Emily was wonderful. I old her the concerns I had with my fur babies before leaving and she made sure to focus on those things and was communicative with me the whole time. I will definitely be using Emily again in the future!!”
“Tuna loved hanging out with Tess while we were out of town. She sent tons of pics and was super communicative. We will for sure be requesting her next time we travel!”
“I was very pleased with Clare on our first booking that I will be using her as our sitter of choice in the future. She sent multiple pics of the dogs everyday and was so excited to play with our chickens. She even stripped the bed so I could just put on clean sheets when we got home. If I could rate higher than the 5 stars, I completely would.”
“This is the first time that I have used Rover. Sakara did a lovely job. I would definitely request her again. She sent pictures almost daily and my dogs looked happy and content. I currently have a foster dog who is timid and Sakara did a great job with her. It was nice to be away and know that my fur babies were well taken care of.”
“Rachel was so great with Milli. Milli needs lots of attention and can’t really be left alone. Rachel was very attentive to those specific needs. She was fast to respond when I was in a pinch and needed someone immediately. Rachel also was very communicative and shared lots of pictures of Milli, so I knew she was safe.”
“Lilly was wonderful! She is very sweet and took great care of my dog. Charlie loved her. I could tell when I got back that he had bonded with her and she was now his friend.”
“Katelyn took such great care of our 3 dogs! They are a handful! She took pictures daily and sent them to us, so we could see they were having a great time! Katelyn was prompt in getting back to us via the app, anytime we reached out! We already have her booked again in August! Highly recommend her as a sitter!!”
About: As a runner from the super humid state of Arkansas, I can accommodate any level of exercise your dog may need to achieve. Also, I have always been the most responsible person in my group (many of my friends joke and call me mom). In addition, I pay close attention to details, and can follow any level of instruction (including strict feeding rules) you could give me. I was raised around animals my whole life, working with them on my farm, as well as enjoying their company indoors. I believe that's why I'm so good with animals. Animals love me and I enjoy spending time with them as well; so it's really a win-win situation! Can't wait to meet your little *or big* best friend! I will prioritize your pet! Whatever you need, I will accommodate! I know that pets are like our babies! Your furry buddy will always be happy with me around, and I will always make time for them. I will do absolutely anything you need! Even if yard work, house cleaning, litter boxes, and puppy pad duty is included! I can handle anything!
About: I have worked at a Vet Clinic as well as taken care of dogs, cats, and livestock my whole life. I love the animal industry and have always had a passion for animal advocacy! With working in the Vet Clinic I have been able to learn all kinds of things like administering medication, knowing signs of distress, proper cleaning, and many other things. I am currently a college senior at the University of Arkansas. I am currently student teaching at prairie grove high school two days out of the week. The rest of the week I will be working at Brickcity but have a flexible schedule where I can check on pets during the day before, during, or after my shifts! Since I have been involved in a veterinary clinic I know when animals might be not feeling well or need medical attention. I am able to crate a dog as well as give them appropriate walks. I love playing and entertaining dogs as well.
“Shannon is an excellent communicator and so good to my babies! She sent several pics and messages each day and I can see that my dog is getting great care. I think he’s going to really miss her☺️ Thank you so much Shannon!”
“Grace is wonderful! She is kind, considerate, and did such a great job with our cat. She stayed a week in our home and treated it as her own, accepting packages, keeping things clean, sending us pictures, and letting us know about her days while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Raelynn did a fantastic job watching our dog. She took her on multiple walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and was kind enough to send multiple pictures throughout the sitting. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Jocelyn was great with my kitties! It was nice having her help with the cats to give me peace of mind. She gave updates and was attentive to them. I definitely recommend her, and will use her again in the future!”
“Anna was so good with my dogs and followed all instructions. She was super respectful of my home, and left without a trace. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my two dogs, and upon my return home they were relaxed and happy. I will definitely be hiring Anna again! Wonderful!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Black Oak on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 516 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Black Oak. 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 Oak 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 Oak 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 Oak 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Black Oak. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
