“Haley did everything that I asked of her and more. She was extremely responsive, sent many photos, and provided constant updates which made me as a pet parent extremely happy to know that my pup was in good hands. The house was in perfect condition when I got back home as well. Will definitely re-book again! Thank you Haley!”
“Breanna was awesome! She took great care of our very much loved dogs. She even sent us updates and pictures! We’d definitely ask her to care for our dogs again. Total professional!”
“From the beginning, the communication was clear and prompt. Sophia took the time to ask detailed questions about Roxies routine, feeding preferences, and any behavioral quirks. This level of attentiveness reinforced my confidence that my pup would be well cared for. During the sitting period, she sent regular updates and photos, which immediately put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was not just being looked after but was also engaged and having a great time. I appreciated this transparency, as it allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Upon my return, my dog was happy and healthy, and I could tell that they formed a nice bond. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely recommend her dog sitting service to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care.”
About: I worked at a dog daycare taking care of a bunch dogs at once as well as did overnight dog sitting for friends. I have fostered dogs and adopted a senior dog for hospice care to give her the best end of life she could have. I currently work a part time job, most of my hours being at the end of the week. I can care for your pet Monday thru Friday, mornings, afternoons or evenings. I have a small fenced in yard for your pet and I love to take walks. If your dog likes other animals I can take them to a dog park or they can relax with my two cats. If in your home then I will care for them however you need me to. I thrive on routine so I like to be consistent in their needs.
“We had just gotten our puppy and needed a sitter to watch him two days later. Cassie was fantastic; she had no issues watching him in our home and was even nice enough to bring him back to her home where she has a fenced in backyard! She provided photos and updates throughout the day and we will definitely book her again!”
“Kailey was wonderful with my dog Fraser (who can be rambunctious!) over multiple weekends. She was reliable and cared for Fraser well following all of our instructions and keeping him company. I definitely recommend Kailey to anyone who needs a dog-sitter!”
“Marie is an outstanding and caring pet sitter, very responsive and attentive, spends quality time with your pet while providing updates and pictures for your peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future for sure!”
“Heather looked after my dog, Maisy, and 2 cats while I went away for 4 days. She was great!! Communication was excellent with lots of detailed updates and pictures. It was very reassuring to hear how they were making out. She walked Maisy twice a day and gave her lots of love 🥰. It’s clear she has a lot of experience with cats and dogs! You can tell she genuinely loves these pets. And to top it off, I came home to a clean house! She even took out the trash. It is so nice to know I have found a trustworthy person to come into my home and take such good care of my pets while I am away. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!!”

I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.
“Wish I had more stars to give! Samantha is great with dogs. Our terrier mix, Charlotte, warmed up to Samantha from the first moment they met. She slept peacefully knowing Samantha was here for her. On the second day, Samantha was greeted with full body wiggles and wags. Excellent caregiver, early both days. Great job!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I have over 8 years of experience working as a veterinary technician. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets and those with special medical needs. My veterinary background allows me to provide a higher level of care and recognize changes in your pet’s health, behavior, and comfort. I am experienced with administering medications, including oral medications, injections, and subcutaneous (SQ) fluids. I can also assist with nail trims, feeding, exercise, enrichment, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in experienced hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

“Amy took very good care of my two cats. She sends pictures to me everyday which is a blessing, knowing that the kitties are doing good. She is very responsive and easy to communicate. Would recommend to everyone in need a kitty friend.”
About: I have taken care of exotic pets and domestic animals - cats, dogs, hamster, gecko, bunny and even a tarantula! I have worked in a vet office as well as a doggie daycare. I am available mornings, mid-day and evenings for visits and walks. Depending on your location I can make it work. Whether a quick check-in or a 15/20 minute walk! I offer daily visits to your home to walk, feed and spend some quality time with your fur-baby. Since I have a full fenced in yard, I can also give your dog a different scene if they like to get out every once in a while.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blackstone
Kimberly was a great dog sitter for our dog, and I highly recommend her! She was incredibly responsible and kept us updated regularly throughout dog sitting duration. We especially appreciated how proactive she was in reaching out whenever she had a question or wanted to check on something. The frequent updates and all the wonderful pictures gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Kimberly truly went above and beyond. When we returned, not only had she taken excellent care of our dog, but she had also cleaned the house and even washed the sheets and blankets which was something we never expected but greatly appreciated. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable, and caring dog sitter, Kimberly is an excellent choice.
As always, Haley did everything asked of her and more. She provided tons of photos, updates, and even gave Sally a bath after she went for a little swim in the woods! Sally seemed very fulfilled once I got home and the house was left in great condition. Thank you Haley!
Heather was excellent with my dog! He can be a little bit nervous having a new person around. She was extremely patient with him, and he was able to warm up to her and truly enjoy his time the couple of days that I was traveling! She kept me updated with lots of pictures, videos and detailed updates. He got all the companionship he needed to be comfortable as well as enough exercise that kept him tired and happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blackstone on Rover is $68.08 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,811 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blackstone. 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 Blackstone 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 Blackstone 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 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!
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.
