We can’t say enough great things about Madelyn she took amazing care of our boys, Jett and Griffin, while we were away. From the start, communication was fantastic — we received regular updates, adorable photos:)

Melanie is excellent - super communicative and attentive! She sent tons of update pics while we were gone and was on top of everything. My favorite is that she described my dog as a “lovey little meatball” and that is now my go-to description of him! It’s so apt. We will definitely use her again.

Patricia was great with our Great Dane. She provided updates & kept on touch- even stayed late and offered to stay an extra day if we had flight issues. She also gave her medications as needed- will be definitely using again :)

Patricia did an amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs! She sent regular updates, was patient with their idiosyncrasies, and even managed to get all 3 out for walks together. She also took great care of our home while we were away. We were so lucky to find her!!

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.

About: I’ve had a love of dogs forever and a general interest in them. I’ve had many of my own dogs and cared for the dogs of many friends and family members. I have experience with the care of senior dogs and administering medications and I know pet CPR. I am able to do drop ins for your dog every evening from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I can take your dog out of their crate and outside to your yard to run around or I can walk them if they like that better.

I can't say enough good things. We were a little stressed about leaving Guapo (our anxious and sometimes reactive pittie mix) with someone new on short notice over the holiday weekend, but Bishop was willing to come do a meet and greet prior to staying over and was absolutely great. Guapo took to him easily and was so well cared for - I also appreciated the quick check ins and pics to reassure us he was doing okay. This was such a relief and we will definitely reach out for future bookings!

About: I have 3 dogs that I have been taking care of for about 10 plus years. I’ve also watched many friends and family’s pers for them, I do have skills in training puppies and some experience in senior care. I am as of recently unemployed, I decided to pivot into my passion for animals and pursue dog sitting and walking full time so any day or time of the week is perfect for me!! My 3 babies do have a fenced in yard, however is not the biggest so I take them on walks about every day. We try to do bath week at least twice month along with a nail trim. I also do cleanup weekly since there’s 3 of them, I always treat a clients pet as my own and give them the tender love and care they deserve because I understand that every baby has their different needs!!

Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I’ve also helped family friends by caring for their pets while they’re away, including feeding, walks, playtime, and checkins. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part time , which gives me flexibility for dog walks, drop in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I’m committed to being dependable, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As the owner of two dogs and two cats, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. During visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and supervision, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of a vast majority of pets but mostly cats and dogs. I have watched over many dog breeds especially ones with certain medical needs I am currently an online only student so I have plenty of free time to offer clients for those pets that need it. I can make the best out of any situation. Coming into a client’s home I will always ask the routine and/or needs your pet(s) has and make sure to keep them company when they need it

Kaelin is so amazing with our Senior Gentleman kitty!🐈‍⬛ I know he snuggled and loved the whole time we are gone. She is great at giving him meds and giving me updates on his health while away. I have no stress or fear while away as Kaelin gives us peace of mind while she is with our little lovey boy. She is wonderful!

As usual, Lynn (Nikki) did a fantastic job taking care of our pets. She very meticulously followed our instructions and gave us regular updates with pictures. When our flights were canceled, she agreed at the last minute to stay an extra night. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a conscientious and responsible sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Blacklick Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Blacklick Estates on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,526 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blacklick Estates. 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 Blacklick Estates 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 Estates 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 Blacklick Estates 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 Blacklick Estates. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
