About: I’ve taken care of many different pets! Big dogs, small dogs, small animals, and reptiles! I have always had dogs and for most of my life I have also had additional pets. I have experience in enrichment for all types of animals and administering medicine for senior pets. I would love to get to know your pets! Starting in August, I will begin school but my passion for animals will happily sneak its way into my schedule. I have 2 days off during the week as well as many breaks within my school day to say hi to fur babies. In order to keep pets safe in the home, I am attentive in making sure that no food is left out, all the doors are shut, and any fence is closed off. When walking pets, I make sure that their leash is not too tight, and the temperature is not to hot for their paws. Along with thing I always monitor behavior to catch if anything seems off with their health.
“This woman is an incredible dog walker and person. Immediately felt comfortable with her after meeting and the animals LOVE her. Polite, progressional, empathetic and an animal lover. Would recommend to any pet owner for dog walking or house sitting.”
“Daniel cared for our active 16-month Australian Shepherd for 6 days. Our dog appeared happy and well cared for upon our return. Also our house was clean upon our return.”
About: I’ve lived with cats of my own my whole life. I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats since I was 8. I’ve always grown up around dogs and have a love for any and all pets! I am a full time student at Boise State University, but have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to care for your pets whenever is needed. In my home we have an open loving environment for our cat that has all the essentials needed for her to thrive. I can take care of your animal in any way that you prefer and that is fitting for them.
“Gunner was wonderful with our Newfoundland- Abby, and our cat-Wendy. He stayed in our home for 9 days, it was neat and tidy when we got back. He walked Abby daily and he kept us up to date with daily messages and pictures. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been house sitting and watching dogs for the last 3 years, and absolutely love it! I have gotten the opportunity to care for many different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I currently have two dogs, and always have had dogs growing up, so I have a lot of experience! I’m currently working part time with my schedule varying, but have free time throughout the week, and can usually work house sitting into my work schedule when needed:) I typically care for dogs in the clients home when house sitting, and am able to pick them up for walks figure out alternatives when needed.
About: I've become the go to friend for helping out watching all my friends pets when they go out of town! Haha it's been awesome, so I figured why not make some extra money doing it for others so here I am :D I love all pets and am grateful there's a platform that let's me do this! I know what it's like to not have a dog sitter when you need to go out of town and you don't want to board your pet, so I'd love to help out where I can. I have experience dog and house sitting and integrity is most important to me, so I will treat your pet and home like it's my own. I have a totally flexible schedule. I live in Boise and have a car, and can travel up to 30 miles. Maybe farther upon request. I can't have pets at my home, so if you're interested in having me help out it would have to be at your house. I have a lot of experience pet sitting and house sitting. I can water your plants too :) I will treat your home with love and respect.
“Monique is amazing! She’s so wondering and caring! She took such good care of our golden retriever who has special needs due to being close to end of life.”
About: I adore all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and I now have my own little family. I have a kitten named Duck Duck and a gecko named Gecki Gavito (legal name Larry) I work a 9-5 during the week but have open availability in the early morning, evenings, and weekends. I am also a full time college student so I have no problem hanging out with animals while I work! Looking after a pet in their own home is easier in my experience. The familiar environment puts them at ease and it's fun to play with their favorite toys and see what their routine is.
“Hanna took the best care of Coco while we were away. We can always depend on her to take great care of our dog while staying at our house. We can't say enough good things about the care, pictures and communication she provided while we were away. I would highly recommend Hannya if you are looking for exceptional care for your pets.”
“Carrie is amazing! This was our first time leaving our cat since we adopted him a few months ago and I was so nervous! Carrie sent pictures and updates and made me feel so at ease! I could tell he was content and well taken care of. (She also looked after our three chickens which was amazing) Carrie cared for our home as well and left it cleaner than when we left it to her! We’ve already rebooked her for our next trip!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and taken care of many friends and families pets. I love animals and care for them deeply. I just graduated from Boise State and am currently working full time. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can check on pets throughout the day. I will make sure they get some good exercise and play time along with being fed and let out when needed. If your pets love cuddles I’m happy to do that too.
“I’m so grateful for Kaylah’s help while I was away for a few days. My dog instantly loved her. Kaylah took such great care of my pup and home. Very respectful, communicative, and helpful. I highly recommend her!”
“Candy was amazing! Was not quite sure about outcome when leaving(very protective of our pet) but Candy put me to ease immediately! She tended to our pets needs plus more. Got pictures and reassurance “Mavie” was fine. Even with a sudden unexpected emergency of her own she never wavered on her responsibility. Thankful for Rover for providing Candy❤️”
About: It’s my goal to give you peace of mind while you are away. I provide frequent updates with photos, I give your pet(s) lots of love & attention, and strive to make you feel delighted by returning to a sparkling clean home. I am currently taking time off of work while studying online. This makes me available for frequent walks, potty breaks, and any other needs. I love going on long walks and being outside which makes pet sitting the perfect match for me at this time. I typically care for pets in my clients homes while they are away on vacations or weekend trips. I am flexible and due to my open schedule I am able to take care of pets with a wide range of needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Blacks Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blacks Creek on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 921 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blacks Creek. 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 Blacks Creek 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 Blacks Creek 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 Blacks Creek 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
