“Breanna was a huge help! She was able to accommodate me last minute as my sitter for the week fell thru. Communication was quick and easy, and her daily updates with pictures assured me that my pets were in great hands. My dog and 2 cats loved their time with her, and I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pets!”
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.
“Anna took great care of our pups, kitty, and home while we were away. We've used Anna for dog walking before her weeklong stay in our home, and the animals love her. Anna is very gentle and kind, and that reflects when we've seen her interact with all of our animals. She made sure to stay in communication with us and send great pictures to make us feel at ease. We plan on continuing to hire Anna for dog walking or future pet sitting.”
About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! 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.
“Thank you, Kiley, for taking such good care of our pets and home (and plants!) while we were away on vaca! We appreciated the photos and video you sent. We’d recommend Kiley to anyone looking for in home pet sitter. We’re pretty sure our three lets (2 cats and dog) would too.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a young girl. Growing up, we had dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, and reptiles. I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a turtle. I have taken care of the pets in my neighborhood for many years. I currently care for a senior dog and have raised many puppies. I love all animals and will provide exceptional love and care for your pet. I have a hybrid work schedule and can easily schedule visits or overnight care with notice. Friday-Monday work best for me but can be flexible during the week as well. I will stay in your home and follow the routine/schedule that your pet is used to. I will provide comfort and care and will follow any directions.
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our home! Our kitties loved her and she gave them lots of attention. We had a battery go out in our gas fireplace and she called us to talk about the issue. The she found a you tube video and figured out how to replace the battery. We were grateful to not have to stress about it. Most importantly, our fur babies were comfortable with her!”
“Rachel was available to house sit and watch my two dogs last minute and couldn’t be more thankful for her! Appreciated the daily updates and photos, Rachel was great.”
“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”

“Nora is great! She came by to meet Mac ahead of booking and we could tell she had a really kind energy. We felt comfortable leaving him in her care while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated and even drew us a wonderful picture of him.”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Nicole was a dream come true for us! Our 11 year old labradoodle instantly liked her, I hired her on the spot to watch Lucy for 4 nights while we were away. Our pup has some medical issues and needs medication, Nicole felt totally comfortable with all her needs and I left without a worry. She sent tons of pictures of their time together. When we got home everything was as we left it! I highly recommend Nicole and know without a doubt that I will be using her again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, and for the past several years I’ve specialized in seniors and small, medium breeds, including my own 11-year-old Yorkie with heart and airway conditions. I’m confident with medications, gentle routines, and multi-day stays, and I currently sit regularly for repeat clients in Providence. I run my own practice from home, so my schedule is flexible and pets are rarely alone. My days are built around routine, morning walks, midday breaks, and calm evenings. Guest dogs join my daily rhythm naturally, with consistent feeding times, multiple walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day In my home, I host one guest at a time in a calm, quiet space with supervised indoor time and secure, leashed walks. In your home, I follow your routines, feeding times, medications, and house rules. I always start with a meet and greet, keep dogs leashed or secured at all times, and send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing.
“Anya was wonderful and our dogs loved her. She did a great job ensuring they were well taken care of and loved. She helped take care of things around the house and sent pictures and updates while we were away. Would 100% recommend her.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely the BEST Pet Sitter We Could Have Ever Asked For! We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible care Heather provided for our Maggie and Gracie this past week! From the moment we entrusted our fur babies to her care, we knew they were in the best hands. What truly sets this Heather apart is that she didn’t just meet our expectations — she went above and beyond in every possible way. Maggie and Gracie received so much love, attention, and personalized care that I’m not even sure they missed us! From making sure they were fed and comfortable to keeping them entertained, exercising Maggie, and even working on some training, our pets were treated like family. It was clear that their happiness, well-being, and individual needs were a genuine priority. Leaving your beloved pets in someone else’s care requires a tremendous amount of trust, and having someone who treats them with such patience, dedication, and affection is priceless. The peace of mind we had knowing they were safe, loved, stimulated, and well cared for meant the world to us. We are beyond grateful to have found Heather, someone so dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful with animals. Maggie and Gracie were incredibly lucky to have such amazing care, and we feel just as lucky to have found this exceptional pet sitter! If you are looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were their own, look no further! We recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Five stars simply don’t seem like enough! 🐾❤️
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Blackstone is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $72 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
