“Melanie was available last minute to watch our two dogs and gave us lots of updates and photos while we were gone! She even went above and beyond and washed/replaced the bedding in our guest bedroom and wiped down the bathrooms!!! Will definitely keep her in mind for all other times we need a pet sitter!”

She did an excellent job for of caring for each of my pets and keeping me up to date of everything by sending many precious photos. My home and plants were also very well cared full. I'm very grateful to have found her and will certainly use her again!”

“Jamie is the best, she’s been our walker for years and is the only one we trust to watch dog overnight.Jamie always sends the best photos and updates! We can always relax when our dog is in her care. Our dog is getting older and has a difficult time with changes in routine, it’s such a relief to know that she is always excited to see Jamie and has a great time while we’re away! She always leaves our home in perfect condition, too. Cannot recommend her enough.”

“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.”

“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”

About: Hi! I am a speech therapist at NCH and an avid dog sitter. I have many years of experience dog sitting for dogs of various sizes, ages, and needs. I have also grown up with dogs of my own, therefore I think it’s important to find someone that will care for your pets as if they were their own! Due to work I will be gone during the day however I am happy to stay over night and I will be with them on weekends. I prioritize sticking to the pets schedule as I know that it can be stressful for them when their families leave. I will care for them following the directions provided and adding in extra love, treats, and walks so that they don’t miss you too much while you’re gone!

About: We have a spacious fenced yard for dogs. Our own three dogs are gentle and enjoy new friends. We have a 2 year old female Doberman, a 5 year old male Husky, and a 7 year old female Yorkie that keeps the other two in line. Each of them are fixed as well. My wife and I work opposite shifts during the week so one of us will be home during the day with a small hour gap between my wife leaving for work and I arriving home from work. Monday evenings is the only day where we are unavailable for drop offs, I have night school. We frequently let our dogs out to enjoy the outdoors as often as they wish. We feed our dogs twice daily, morning and evening. Their water bowls are never empty. We replace toys often as well considering one of our dogs is a super chewer. It would be an absolute honor to care for your beloved four legged best friend. Your feedback is invaluable, so after your pets stay, we kindly ask you to please leave a review. Your input helps us enhance our business when ensuring we provide the absolute best care for your family. Tips are highly encouraged and valued as we always give the highest care for your pets.

About: Hello! My name’s Mary, I love animals and have had professional experience taking care of pets. I worked at a doggy day care as a manager for a year and a half. I also boarded dogs and walked them there, working with all different breeds big and small! During my time at the daycare I became dog cpr certified, have handled dog fights, cleaned wounds, and administered medication! I have my own Rottweiler, Maple who is quite the handful herself :) I’ve worked on farms caring for all different types of animals which included large guard dogs so I have comfortability and knowledge of all sizes! I love providing enrichment activities during drop in visits and boards. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own, with love and care! I have a job in the afternoon and the evenings so I have open availability in the mornings and on most weekends for walks and stays! Unfortunately I do rent a house that doesn’t allow pets but I am more than capable and willing to drive to the house of the pet and or wherever you would like them walked!

First time Rover here! Melanie was a godsend! She was extremely communicative, sending updates and pictures often, which was extremely appreciated. I was a little anxious leaving my puppy for the first time but she put my mind at ease every step of the way! I cannot thank her enough!

We would recommend Madeline to anyone and now we feel like we have a good resource moving forward where we know our animals will be safe and well cared for! We have absolutely no complaints about Madeline!

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.

It was wonderful to be able to go visit family (some are allergic to dogs) and know that Mochi, CiCi and Nala were in good hands. Dajon did a wonderful job and the dogs loved him. He sent pictures which made us happy to see how happy the dogs were. Thank you Dajon!

FAQs for House Sitting - Blacklick Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Blacklick Estates is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,454 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
