“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!”
“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!”
“If I could give Gabby more than 5 stars, I would. Her standards and care are unmatched. We simply don’t trust anyone else to love our cat the way Gabby loves her. We’re very lucky to be able to call upon her anytime we need!”
“Katie is an exceptional sitter. My puppy absolutely loves her and has a blast every time she is over. Katie follows instructions very well and makes sure my little girl is always engaged, fed, and happy! I definitely recommend Katie and will continue to use her. 💜”
“Justin was very attentive to our instructions and left thorough Rover Cards each visit. Our cats were happy and well-fed, and our house was in great shape when we returned home. He sent pictures every visit, and even brought in an Amazon package for us. We would use him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Jillian was incredible. Absolutely stellar in remembering all the directions I rambled through and left great notes/pictures for me after each visit. Jillian is so friendly, Houdini and I both LOVED her!! Highly recommend, will be using Jillian’s services for the foreseeable future. Thank you!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs got during the drop-in visits. Everything was done exactly how I asked. meals, meds, leash rules, the works. Luna got her medicine on time, Our GSD remained safely on his leash, and both pups were calm and happy when I got home. I really appreciated the updates and pictures every visit too. Reliable, kind, and clearly knows their way around dogs. I’d absolutely book again.”
“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!”
“Jasmine took amazing care of my cat Deadpool! She was super sweet, followed all the care instructions I provided, and sent me great update photos throughout. Communication was quick and easy, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“I'm so grateful she took care of my puppy Leroy! She sent pictures every time she would visit as well! I recommend Donna to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!😋”
“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 ❤️🤧”
“Amanda took awesome care of my cats and chickens! She went above and beyond and brought packages in and cleaned up after my pets. She also sent plenty of photos and a detailed review of each stay. I would definitely recommend Amanda!”
“Kelly took wonderful care of my two cats over the holidays. She was very professional and communicative, and the cats were clearly cared for and loved when we returned. With her background in vet med, I was very confident in her ability to care for my elderly cat and administer his medication, plus deal with his finicky food preferences, and she handled all of it wonderfully with no issues at all! I would recommend Kelly as a pet sitter to anyone looking. Thank you, Kelly!”
About: I have hands on experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every animal like my own, making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care. I have availability in the early mornings and evenings on the days I work, and I’m available throughout the entire day on my days off. I’m happy to work pet care into my routine and make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Extremely grateful to have Sabrina available to help us out on a holiday weekend. She was flexible and patient with our dogs and schedule. Our guys were clearly in good hands.”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have extensive experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I am comfortable providing attentive, loving care and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am experienced with administering medications and making sure pets receive the proper care and attention they need. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and keeping them active and happy. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m currently working full time Monday through Thursday. I am available Friday through Sunday and federal holidays all day. Weekdays I’m only available after 5pm. I’m happy to care for pets in my home and provide them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away. I have one friendly dog of my own, so your pet will have the option of having a companion if they enjoy other dogs. My home has a fully fenced-in backyard where pets can safely play, relax, and get some fresh air, and I also live right near a walking trail for enjoyable walks and outdoor time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel right at home throughout their stay.
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Black River
Jackie did a few drop-in visits for our cats again and she took incredible care of them as always! She is so considerate and caring, we couldn’t ask for somebody better to care for our babies! Just like the past 2 times, she went above and beyond - doing tasks that she simply didn’t have to, but because she knew it would made our lives easier while we were away. We are so comfortable leaving them in her hands because she truly cares for them just like we would! I would highly recommend her for any future pet care needs!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! I reached out at the last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and willing to help. During each drop-in visit, she kept me updated with detailed messages and uploaded plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was well cared for and in great hands. I truly appreciate her reliability, communication, and kindness. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Black River on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Black River. 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 River 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.
