“Second time having Ellen watch our dog and everything was great. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were away. We felt very comfortable having her watch our dog and would recommend her!”
“Bridget was awesome. She arrived exactly when she was supposed to. I left her a note with instructions. She texted me when she arrived. She sent me pictures of my ding dong. She was even able to stay later, then asked because I could not make it home in time. I came home not only to find a happy dog but a clean house and a beautiful sketch of my dog's face on the countertop. I will definitely use her again.”
“Tommi is great with my dog Bo. He's a pretty big dog and is getting up there in age. When I come home he is always happy and well cared for! She sends me updates with pics, which I always appreciate. 100% will book with her again!”
“First time having Kylee care for my elderly pets - it was an overnight stay. They were both (cat and dog) fine when I got home, and the house was in good shape. Next time I will ask Kylee to provide a few unsolicited updates during her stay.”
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish! I have my own dogs as well! Hoping to care for your fur babies when you’re away/unable to spend some time with them! I am currently a full time nanny looking for some pet sitting opportunities! I have a 3.5 year old blue heeler and 1.5 year old lab mix that would love to make some new friends or have some time away from her mom. My dogs are very spoiled! We go on car rides, walks, trails, dog parks very often! I am an animal lover at heart and enjoy spending time with animals. They love to play together and enjoy meeting other dogs as well.
About: I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a calm, attentive approach to pet care. My experience includes working with dogs on basic obedience and providing dedicated senior care, including administering medications. I'm highly patient and capable of giving your pets the personalized time and attention they deserve to thrive while you're away. I'm currently maintaining a full-time schedule, but my availability opens up perfectly for daytime pet care. I'm available to care for your beloved animals Monday through Saturday, specifically from twelve noon until five o'clock in the afternoon, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive service while I start building this exciting clientele. I create a secure, attentive environment where each pet's health, nutrition, and safety are my highest priorities during visits and walks. I'm diligent with medication schedules, custom feeding plans, and providing constant, loving care to ensure complete peace of mind.
“Karen is fantastic. She took great care of Buddy. He had walks and snuggles and we got pictures that just showed how happy he was. Highly recommend Karen, she is definitely an animal lover. I also “think” our house is cleaner than we left it lol. Book with her with confidence.”
About: Dogs seem to love me. Personally I've had 3 dogs in my lifetime, and have taken care of many with a business. I am an animal fanatic. I can guarantee that your pet will be in safe hands with me. I am very pet friendly and you can trust that I will take care of any needs that your pet has. I'm currently working full time but I'm looking to get out of the position I'm in to be a pet caregiver as well as a house cleaner. I currently have 2 dogs and LOTS of snails. I am religious when it comes to pet feeding, grooming and any medications. These animals are our family. We may not have them our whole life, but they have us their whole life. We need to make it the best one they could ever dream of. (I don't know about dog psychology but I can assume they dream. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain my dog running in his sleep 🤣😉)
“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”
About: *** Free walks included with drop in booking price *** Yes, I will walk your dog(s) free of charge for the drop in booking price…. I provide this service free of charge for all my clients as a thank you for your business. My family has lived in this area for over 100 years. I was a veterinary technician for 20 years and I have experience with cats, dogs (large & small), fish, reptiles, and farm animals. I have one Doodle, a rescue pit bull, a chihuahua, and two cats. We had cows, ponies, and donkeys for many years but now that my son is active in sports we have retired from farm animals. I’m very experienced with all medications including but not limited to: insulin injections, eye drops, and oral medications. I walk dogs daily in Howell, Fowlerville, Stockbridge, and Brighton so normally last minute bookings are available. I hope to meet you and your friends soon! Im now a stay at home mom and I work from home. This allows for a flexible schedule for pet sitting and allows me to be available for short notice/emergency visits. I’m generally available through out the day for your pets needs. I don’t normally watch animals in my home but directions will be followed exactly for the care of your pets in your home. Leashed walks or whatever care is needed for your loved one.
About: My name is Taylor and I am a 26 year old dog mom who has 3 beautiful fur babies and 8 chickens. I love animals more than most humans and prefer to spend 100% if my time with animals than anyone else. I’ve had just about every pet under the sun and can take care of all types. Dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, farm animals, amphibians, fish and all other types of exotic animals. I have been in the pet sitting industry since I was 14 years old and have had my own pets since I was 2 years old. I have such a passion to taking care of other animals and love doing it on the side. I’m currently working appointment based part time Tuesday Wednesdays and Friday’s and would love to fill in some gaps in my day and dedicate it to pets. I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life, I can take care of any type of animal and have a lot of knowledge on specific types of animals and their needs.
“Hayden did an amazing job taking care of our very anxious dog and two cats while we went on vacation. She kept us updated with pictures and communicated any questions or concerns immediately. I would recommend Hayden for any pet care you need!”
“Autumn watched our golden retriever for the week while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and we were very happy to know that Lena was in good hands. Very respectful of our home and we will definitely book again!”
“Maggie did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and three cats over a long weekend. She was extremely responsive and gave us peace of mind that our pets were being taken care of and loved while we were gone. Both of our dogs have extensive medical needs right now and Maggie did an excellent job administering medicine and providing updates to us. Highly recommend!”
About: Experienced pet parent of three dogs and one cat offering reliable, loving care for your furry family members. Book now for a happy, healthy stay! Pet care fits into my daily routine through scheduled feeding times, regular walks, playtime, and consistent monitoring for health and behavior changes. Weekly, I incorporate more in-depth activities like grooming, training sessions, and vet visits as needed. In my home, I ensure pets have a safe, clean environment with plenty of toys, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. In a client's home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintaining their pet's routine, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and attention.
About: - I’ve been employed at a veterinary hospital for a few years and I am trained to take care of all types of animals - Trained to administer medication of all kinds (injections, oral syringes, manually pilling, etc.) - Trained to evaluate new dogs to see if they are good to play in larger settings with 30+ dogs - Very patient with animals of all temperaments - All I want is for you and your pets to be happy and comfortable :) I work on a rotating bi weekly schedule, meaning some weeks I work 6/7 days and other weeks I am in 4/7 days. I don’t do anything outside of work so getting back to the animals/ taking breaks to see them throughout work is expected on my end and will not be an issue. I have a fenced in yard at my aunts house where I live with her and her Jack Russell Pug who is shy, but good with other dogs. I have an open yard at my parents home (Schwenksville PA) with lots of room to run and play under supervision. I also have a Staffordshire Terrier at my parents house who loves to run and play with other dogs while being supervised.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blackman Charter Township
Will definitely request Makayla again in the future. My Maisie didn't want her to go when I returned home. She kept me updated a few times a day during my time away with pictures and texts. My trip was so enjoyable knowing my dog was in great care by someone so attentive to her.
Lauren rocks. When my flight was delayed she was happy to work with me to ensure my pets were taken care of in case I couldn't make it home until the next day. It ended up only being a couple hours later but I would have been a panicked mess if not for Lauren's help.
Bridget was awesome. She arrived exactly when she was supposed to. I left her a note with instructions. She texted me when she arrived. She sent me pictures of my ding dong. She was even able to stay later, then asked because I could not make it home in time. I came home not only to find a happy dog but a clean house and a beautiful sketch of my dog's face on the countertop. I will definitely use her again.
Ellen took excellent care of my two dogs while she stayed in my home. She came over twice, prior to sitting to meet & spend time getting to know each orher. Her response time with questions & confirmations was immediate. I never wondered about anything. She provided daily updates with pictures of my boys. When I arrived back home, everything was perfect. I will definitely be having her again. Highly recommend!
Christine is very obviously a huge animal lover. My Poncho (95lb pitbull mix) was so happy when I came home, and in all of the many photos that Christine sent- Poncho had the biggest smile on his face. They went on so many walks, as we are staying in a hotel for several months for work. Poncho got many snuggles, which is very important to him, and Christine figured that out on Day 1. Christine is now our favorite gal.

The average cost of House Sitting in Blackman Charter Township is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $49 per night.

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 Blackman Charter Township 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 Blackman Charter Township 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 Blackman Charter Township 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.

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.
