Madison was great! We needed someone last minute due to an emergency and she kept our minds at ease by taking such great care of our pups. Her communication skills were top tier. We could not recommend her more. Thank you so much Madison!

Elise is a wonderful dog walker/sitter. My puppy is anxious and requires some extra coaxing sometimes and has trouble warming to people. But Elise has been wonderful with him and is always so patient. Spends lots of time playing with him and provides thorough and prompt updates. Would highly recommend for all of your pet sitting needs!

We’ve had Justin do drop in visits a few times over the last few months. We recommend him to others looking for someone to care for their pets. We of course will continue to use him when we go away.

Would definitely recommend booking with Jackie! She sent us tons of pictures during her drop in and made sure to give our cats plenty of play time and pets. She followed all the instructions we gave her and we really couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thanks Jackie!

About: My dogs are like family and temporarily I would love for some others to be apart of ours as well! My dogs have a routine, walk play walk play. Tons of enrichment, tricks and treats Weekends I can be available anytime. Weekdays it would need to be more walks etc. but I promise they will still get the best care I do not have a fenced yard so at my home it would be walks. With my two little ones (10lb and 20lb) these walks are about 30 minutes each but with bigger dogs it would definitely be longer. At your home I’m willing to use the fenced in yard or walks as well! Each visit regardless of anything, will also be accompanied by fresh water, food if you wish to be placed, snuggles, and lots of patting I’m sure of it!

Attention to all military families!! If you need someone super trusting to come and watch/take care of your furry family, do not hesitate to book with Lindsey! She was phenomenal and truly treats your babies like her own! She was super attentive, gave great timely updates, went beyond expectations in her care. She booked us the week before my husbands and I’s trip, took on the added challenge of taking care of one of our sick babies last minute as well. Well 100% be booking with Lindsey in the future ❤️🤧

I have two dogs (50lbs and 70lbs) and Katie is my Go-to person for checking in on my pups while I’m at work. She is always insanely quick with responding to requests which has really saved me when I had a last minute need for her. She is always on time and I can trust her to let me know if she notices anything wrong with either of my pups!

Alexia was excellent with our two cats. Her experience working at a vet clinic was a great comfort since one cat has had health issues in the past. She went above and beyond to care for him. She was also flexible when our travel schedule changed at the last minute, which was greatly appreciated!

You will not find anyone more dedicated to taking care of your pets than Eliza. She did in home drop in visits for our 2 cats while we were out of town for the holidays. The catch was that it was during the Christmas Blizzard of ‘22 and she never missed a beat. I give the highest recommendation for her to care for your furry family.

Dana did an excellent job caring for our cat while we were traveling. It was great to receive updates and pictures each day so we know that he was doing okay. Dana was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on anything going on and what our cat was up to on each of her visits. We will definitely be booking with Dana again!

Debbie was absolutely amazing! At our meet and greet, my cat, who usually is a little shy, walked right up to Debbie and sniffed her. While Debbie watched her, we got lots of pictures of her which we looked forward to everyday! My cat was fed each day, the litter was cleaned really really well, and she was played with. I will 100% be contacting Debbie first whenever I need a cat sitter!

About: I've taken care of family dogs, cats, and birds for 3 year now, I am a new graduated nurse who is currently studying to take my board RN exam. I am a military spouse and we have two dogs ourselves and one cat. I have open time in my days to come and take care of your furry friends. I am a new graduate nurse who is studying to take their RN boards exam. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom and military spouse, I have time during the week to spend time taking care of your furry friends! I am available pretty much around the clock! I am willing to take care of your pets at your home if that will prevent stress from your animals. However I am not opposed to having your pets at my husbands and I’s apartment, when we care for animals in our home space, our animals are usually crated while the guest animals are out unless given the okay by the owner— from there we slowly introduce our pets to yours, but only if granted. We have a camera outside our front door as well as one in our living room where we house our own dogs for security and safety of our animals and home.

Elise was great with our kitty check-ins! Our kitty warmed right up to her and was able to get lots of much needed attention during her time each visit. Elise cleaned her cat area so we didn't come home to any mess! Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Black River on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 68 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Black River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.

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.
