“Kam did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with. She is very communicative and thoughtful. Our dog - who is usually quite anxious - was extremely comfortable and relaxed with her while we were on vacation, even over the 4th of July when loud noises usually bother him. Kam stayed at our home and sent lots of cute dog pics while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Pat is the absolute best! She took great care of my Gracie and house. She provides photos of your pet and how they are doing. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend! Thank again Pat!!”
“If you can get Brittany to dog sit/house sit, you won't be disappointed. She's incredibly professional, punctual and connects immediately with your animals. My senior dogs bonded quickly with her and seemed disappointed that I was the one that came back. She was also very responsive and would send pictures occasionally of how they were doing. They seemed to have the best time with her. Just book her, she's incredibly gifted at this.”
“Madie was awesome! Accommodated a last minute request and provided great communication the entire time I was away. Would definitely use her services again.”
About: From the time I was old enough to ask “can we keep him” I’ve always taken care of my best friends. From walking them 3 miles to the vet (before I was old enough to drive) to daily feedings, bathing, grooming and of course, treats! While I spoil the pets, I’m always sure to give them the highest grade food and treats. I believe they deserve the best. Diet and exercise are important. A daily regiment of “fetch” is highly recommended by Duke, the black lab! I would love to take care of your best friend and ensure he/she is given the highest quality of care while keeping Duke company (Duke plays well with others.) I’ve been working from home for the last seven years. I always have time to make sure the water bowls are full and play time is given. Who says you can’t work from the patio while throwing a ball for fetch? Duke and I have a great fenced in yard for plenty of play time and potty breaks. All vegetation is harmless for pets. Grass is well groomed and “yard bombs” removed daily (or as often as required).
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
“Kateri has watched our dog Ruxin multiple times. She is great with communication, takes great care of him and sends pictures throughout her stay. She also always leaves the house very tidy. We look forward to booking with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Lizzy did a great job taking care of my two fur babies this past weekend. I came home to happy pups and they, along with my house, were well cared for! In addition, she was quick to respond to communication. I've already booked her for another longer stay next month. I highly recommend Lizzy for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Rachel stayed with our pups for a week while we were on vacation. Our home was cared for and our pups were loved all week! One of our pups was on antibiotics while simultaneously battling an ear infection and Rachel managed both without hesitation! Thank you Rachel!”
“Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!”
About: Absolutely obsessed with all fur babies! I have two playful French Bulldogs, Alfredo and Maple, so I’m well-versed in picky eaters, stroller rides, medication administration, slobbery kisses, and snuggly (sometimes stinky) cuddles. I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. With a fully remote job, I’m home all day to give your pet the care they deserve. My community is fully walkable with sidewalks, dog parks, plenty of great sniff spots, and more! My home does have stairs so if your love bug needs special mobility accommodations, let me know! *SITTING* I do NOT offer overnight pet sitting. I will happily provide multiple check ins throughout the day, including late nights and early mornings! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! With a fully remote job, I’m home all day to provide consistent care, supervision, and attention. My own dogs have set meal times, potty breaks, and play sessions, which makes it easy to incorporate other pets into our schedule. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or medication administration, I make sure every pet gets the individualized care they need. In my home, I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, plenty of snuggles, and a routine that includes regular meals, potty breaks, and exercise. My own dogs are friendly and playful, but I can also accommodate dogs who prefer their own space. Crate-trained dogs are welcome to bring their crate for a familiar, comfortable sleeping arrangement. Please note that my bedroom is on the second floor so if your furry buddy likes to have overnight cuddles, the use of stairs or being properly carried is required. For in-home pet care, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, whether that means sticking to their usual schedule or giving extra cuddles while their family is away. For sitting I will not provide overnight care, but will ensure a late night and early morning potty break.
About: I have taken care of various kinds of dogs, ranging from large to small. Through house sitting with my mother when I was younger, I gained valuable experience and learned how to adapt to each dog's specific needs then. More recently, I have gained even deeper insight after getting a dog of my own and watching him grow from a small puppy into the big, 60-pound boy he is today. Through this, I have developed various approaches to managing dogs and creating a safe, fun environment for both the dog and myself. I myself have a very needy dog. His name is Danny he loves to be very wild, which has taught me various lessons on setting aside boundaries for the dog. Very well. He eats a organic diet mixed with his regular feed. He has various stress-tension toys which are kindred to his rough play style. He also gets vet visits often.
“Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Blacklick is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blacklick
This was our first time using Rover and leaving our pups with someone other than family. Victoria really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and I know she spoiled the dogs! Our oldest dog keeps going up to the guest room to look for her! Victoria did an amazing job and we will continue to ask her to watch the dogs in the future!
Aspen made the whole process incredibly easy! She took fantastic care of my baby and my home as well and even went the extra mile to ensure I came home to clean sheets on the bed after a long day of travel!! I especially loved the picture updates she would send of my pup while I was away, which eased my anxiety a lot. Will 1000% be booking her in the future
We had a wonderful experience with Laura and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. We needed to be out of town helping family, Laura stepped in on short notice and was fantastic. Bentley is very much a part of our family—he sleeps with us and has an early morning routine—so we didn’t want to kennel him or leave him alone with drop-in visits. Having Laura stay in our home gave us complete peace of mind. She took the time to come over and meet Bentley with us beforehand, arrived exactly when she said she would, and took excellent care of him all weekend. She sent regular updates and pictures, which meant a lot to us while we were away. It was clear Bentley was comfortable, well cared for, and happy. Laura was trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely kind to our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for in-home pet care.
Lisa was awesome! She was a great communicator and did so well with our four dogs and cat. The dogs are energetic and she made sure to keep them busy so they barely missed us! Would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! Can’t say enough good things about her - just fabulous!

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 Blacklick 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 Blacklick 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Blacklick 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!

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 .

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.
