“Ellie was phenomenal with my cat Nami, taking time to play with her and pet her when she dropped in to care for her. It was my first time leaving Nami for a long trip but having Ellie send daily pictures really alleviated my anxiety. I definitely plan on hiring her again.”

About: I personally have 2 dogs and a cat and experience with all sizes and temperaments. I am going into my senior year at Bryant! Also I recently completed a half marathon and am looking to keep up the outdoor walking and running maybe with some buddies! I’m free after I am free every afternoons and most mornings, very flexible schedule inbetween my college classes! I miss my pets when I’m away at school! I don’t intend to have pets at my home, so I’m not quite sure what to say here, I still being in college live with my family and stay ever moving.

About: I currently have a 1 year old English mastiff who is 170 pounds and he is the best boy! He has to walk 2-3 miles everyday, so your pup will be definitely walked until they don’t want to move! I also had a rescue dog who was a Rottweiler mix who was very reactive. He was reactive towards other dogs and people, but luckily I was able to learn from him. I currently work full time during the week, and have to walk my mastiff 2-3 miles after work so he sleeps at night, but the weekends I am able to come walk with your dogs. I do not plan on bringing your dog to my house, but any instruction you need me to follow I will once I am in your home.

About: I’m an experienced rescue pet owner who’s fostered both cats and dogs, including my own behaviorally challenged dog. I grew up caring for a senior dog with medical needs, so I understand the importance of patience, attention to detail, and compassion. Through my rescue work, I’ve provided both cat and dog sitting and am excited to offer that same loving care to more pets and families! Pet care best fits into my daily schedule during lunch breaks and anytime after 4 PM! I can be flexible as well depending on the time slots needed and my class schedule. Safety is always my main priority. Through my experience working with flight-risk fosters and animals with a variety of behavioral and medical needs, I’ve learned how to create secure environments for every pet in my care. I’m attentive to details, careful with routines, and always mindful of each animal’s comfort and safety

About: My very friendly little dog and I would love to host your dog here with us, up to 40 pounds only though...Or if your pal would benefit from a playmate, we would love to come sit for you! Well first off, I've been trusted with the care of many precious pets for years now...And enjoy it very much...I am fun, caring, and engaging, as well as all ble's, reliable, dependable, and responsible! And I took a CPR pet course, and human one as well. I have had cats mostly all my life, and now own a small dog of my own, who as I stated earlier, could, or doesn't have to if need be, come with me, as some love to have a playmate for their pet...And I know my friendly little guy very much enjoys the visit. But with anyone coming to my home, my guy will be there too, and they must all be friendly, and then we have nothing but a good time. Which brings me to, I can watch any animal, esp in the animals home and of any size...It is my home that, as also mentioned above, I would only be able to take in a small or medium sized dog, cat, or caged pet. And my home, that I live in with just my little guy, is pretty open and spacious for dogs to move around, and I have fenced in my backyard just off the back door porch for even more run around fun. And now onto my prices, I had to do additions a certian way on here...As to plus a cat if I'm also coming to care for your dog...But I can always modify and give a discount if say you have many plus one cats in your home so it doesn't keep plus one'ing a fee...Or if you have wonderfully easy small dogs, I would not keep plus one'ing for those and would find a nice set fee, and especially if my little guy could also come enjoy them, or they could come spend the time with us...It's the large ones that can be more of a handful and take a bit more doing often times, that I have to have it set that way for. And I did just recently up my prices some as I've noticed that Rover charges per night and I am not loving that, I always on my own charge per day, so I up'd my prices some to reflect that. But have noticed that I am still under many, esp when it comes to multiple pets, and so that is good. So you can always send me a msg and we can discuss any and all options. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...And I put a certain radius, which is more so for popins...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need. My home is often more foolproof safe...Such as I have an indoor fenced area around my front door...And I do sometimes bring something similar with me to others homes...I prefer to be (overly) safe than sorry.

“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover originally from Brazil, where my love for animals started at a young age. I've always had dogs in my life, and caring for them has always been something very special to me. I'm a proud dog mom to Kacey, my sweet and energetic 6-year-old black Labrador. She's very friendly with other dogs and absolutely loves playing, exploring, going on walks, and joining me on little adventures. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to loving and caring for dogs! I'm excited to open my home and share that love with other families. Whether it's walks, playtime, boarding, or outdoor adventures, my goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I also love taking pictures and videos, so I'd be more than happy to send you updates throughout your dog's stay or visit. I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is caring for your furry family member! One of my biggest dreams is to someday have a farm where I can rescue dogs and other animals and give them the happy, loving life they deserve. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I enjoy spending my time with dogs and love making them part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and making sure each dog gets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being outdoors, exploring new places, and going on adventures with Kacey. I'm happy to make time for your dog's individual needs and routine, and I will always do my best to provide attentive and loving care. My goal is to make sure your dog never feels overlooked and always has plenty of attention, affection, and fun! Your dog's safety and happiness are always my priorities. I want every pet parent to feel comfortable and confident knowing their furry family member is being cared for with love and attention. At home, Kacey is part of our family. She's a sweet, friendly, and playful 6-year-old Labrador who enjoys having company. Because Kacey lives in our home, dogs coming for boarding must be comfortable and friendly around other dogs. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and care according to their own personality and needs. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special preferences. I also love keeping pet parents updated with pictures and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing, having fun, and settling in. Communication is important to me, and I want you to feel at ease while your best friend is with us!

About: Hello there, I am an experienced pet sitter located in North Providence. I have my own home with a lovely yard, I'm retired, so I'm home the majority of the day so your pup will not be left alone for more than a few minutes if at all. I provide a caring, calm, safe environment to care for your special friend. Ive been taking care of dogs my whole life, and I have been sitting other peoples pets professionally for about 4 years now. I adore all kinds of dogs & animals in general and very much enjoy caring for peoples pets. Being retired allows me to have the time to dedicate myself to providing all the love & attention your furry family member deserves. I am very comfortable sitting all types of dogs, all ages & breeds are welcome. You may relax & rest assured that your loved ones needs are being met by a true animal lover with many years of experience as a dog owner and pet sitter & caregiver. My home is hardwood, some tile in the kitchen, and is always cleaned & pup proofed. I have plenty of space for your pup to romp and a beautiful yard to walk them in, with trails & parks nearby. I provide solo accommodations if your dog prefers being being the center or attention, and also take multiple dogs if they are from the same household. If you have any questions please contact me, I look forward to meeting you & your special friend soon! I began pet sitting after I retired, I am home 95% of the day, so your pet will be not be left unsupervised for more than a few minutes at the most. I am very loving, laid back, affectionate, & patient with the pets I take care of. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, we do our walks back there as well as spend time in my outdoor pen area when the weather is nice. When we are outdoors the pups are always on their leashes, and we avoid the main road just to be extra safe. I have an adorable 3 year old female Maltipoo named Ellie. She is as sweet as can be and loves to make new friends. When your pup comes to stay they are welcome to explore the entire house, it is safe and completely puppy proofed. They are allowed to snuggle on the couch, or wherever they are comfortable. I have plenty of beds, blankets, toys, & treats. We go for walks every two hours for tinkle breaks, and I like to take the dogs on a nice long walk in the mornings after breakfast and again after dinner. My little Ellie the Maltipoo loves to play, however is only 9 lbs so she is very gentle, she loves to make friends. I am comfortable administering medication or supplements if necessary, I have experience working with elderly dogs, and dogs on different medications as well. I am comfortable with dogs with health issues such as allergies, diabetes, and I am certified in pet first aid & CPR. I am comfortable with all age ranges, from puppy to elderly. I work with a few of both and they are equally adorable. If your dog has a special routine at home that you would like followed, such as crating, no furniture, special diets such as home cooked food. During mealtimes I separate Ellie & whomever is staying or with us for daycare. I have gates so that each dog can eat comfortably as well as preventing them from eating one anothers food. There is a beautiful trail nearby, with your permission the dogs do enjoy a nice stroll, and I take my dog quite often. Its a very mellow environment here, the dogs seem to enjoy coming & we have a lot of fun.

About: I have lots of experience with dogs, and I am passionate about making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I have two dogs at home, 4 and 7, whom I love very dearly. I regularly do dog walks and have experience with overnight stays for one or two dogs at a time. I’m comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. Although my schedule varies, pet care is something I truly prioritize. I often dog-sit and walk dogs during my free time, allowing me to be flexible while still providing attentive, loving care. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with plenty of space to play and relax. I ensure they have access to fresh water, toys, and cozy spots to rest. In my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' comfort and follow any specific instructions provided. I maintain a clean and secure space, offer companionship, and keep them engaged with playtime and exercise. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with love and attention to ensure they feel at ease.

Jess is fabulous! I am a first time Rover user and of course it can be scary leaving your animals with someone brand new. But Jess made me, and my puppy Mabel feel so comfortable. She even took the time to meet us before our first booking with her. After her visit she provided so many photos (which I loved) and even asked to keep her updated on all the new commands Mabel learns so she can assist in her training. You can tell how much she cares about giving your pets the best care! I am so thankful to have Jess and we will be booking with her again for sure!

Jacqueline was wonderful with our two, and we came home to happy and healthy pups! I was extremely nervous about traveling without them, especially because I’m a very involved dog mom and definitely had a lot of special instructions. 😂 Jacqueline was incredibly patient with all of my requests and took the time to really get to know them. Paulie can be nervous with new people, so seeing how comfortable he became with Jacqueline and her son put me completely at ease. Bonnie is also recovering from an injury, and I felt confident that she was being handled carefully. Jacqueline was reliable, punctual, and clearly enjoyed spending time with them. We’re very grateful for the care they received and would definitely recommend her!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Savannah! From the moment we met her at the meet and greet, I had such a great feeling about her, and she somehow exceeded those expectations when she watched Kimchi and Pebbles. She arrived early, was incredibly attentive with the girls, sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, and made it so easy for me to relax knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. It was obvious that she wasn't just there to "watch the dogs." She genuinely spent time with them, paid attention to them, and made sure they were comfortable and getting plenty of love. Finding someone you trust with your dogs, especially when they're used to having you home with them most of the time, is a big deal. I feel incredibly lucky that we found Savannah. Kimchi and Pebbles absolutely loved her, and we will 100% be asking her to come hang out with them again.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Blackstone

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Blackstone is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. 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 4,487 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Blackstone. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Blackstone 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!

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.

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Blackstone with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blackstone. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
