About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a huge animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets like they’re family. What sets me apart as a sitter is the love, patience, and attention I give to every pet I care for. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I strive to provide loving, dependable care while keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs and routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all personalities and believe patience, consistency, and attentiveness are key to great pet care. I also believe communication is important, so I make sure pet parents feel reassured by sending updates, photos, and messages while they’re away from their furry family member. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and following any special instructions to help maintain their routine and comfort. I currently work Monday–Friday during the day, so I’m available for evenings, weekends, and flexible pet care arrangements. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work Monday–Friday during the day, so I’m available for evening care, drop-in visits, walks, boarding, and weekends. I’m committed to making sure pets stay on their normal routine and receive the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in their home or welcoming them into mine for boarding, I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they feel happy and cared for. I enjoy being active, spending time with animals, and making sure every pet feels secure and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always try to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention while following any special instructions. For boarding in my home, I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I also have two dogs at home, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents feel reassured while away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
“Jordan was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Sugar! She took the time to let Sugar warm up at her own pace, and by the end of the sitting, our girl was completely cuddled up with her. We received gorgeous picture updates and fantastic communication throughout, so we never had a single worry. Jordan was also incredibly respectful of our home. We will definitely try to book her every time we need care for our baby!”

About: I provide attentive, personalized care based on each dog’s unique needs and routine. From high-energy pups to seniors, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. With regular updates and a genuine love for animals, you can trust your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I’m currently a senior in high-school, but with free weekends and free time during the week, as a dog owner I love meeting new four legged friends to take care of. Staying in your home I make sure that your four legged friends feel safe and comfortable, allowing them to be themselves while you are away

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my energetic 2-year-old dog, Aspen, previously raised a family dog from puppyhood through their senior years, and fostered to own two cats. I’m comfortable caring for both young, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in reliable and caring hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m currently on paternity leave until the fall, so I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. At home, my 2-year-old dog, Aspen, has a structured routine that includes daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental enrichment, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to her health and well-being by preparing nutritious homemade meals with quality ingredients, providing healthy treats, keeping her clean with oatmeal baths, and making sure she has safe, durable toys to keep her engaged. When caring for a client’s pet, I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication if needed, going on walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply giving extra cuddles and reassurance, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own dog.
About: I've taken care of dogs for 10 years. I've owned a American Pit Bull Terrier, fostered a German shepherd, and cared for a mini poodle. You can sleep peacefully knowing that I will care for your pet as if it was my own. I am a full time student but mostly online and goes to on site class twice a week for two hours. But you can put your trust in knowing your pet will receive the proper attention plus more. Both early morning/ late evening walks plus lots of play time. I have a extra play room for your pet and 2 dogs parks that are a quick walk to get to. Animals are not allowed on the furniture but are always free to roam my home. If needed I can crate your pet as well. If overnight boarding is required for longer than 3 days, bathing will be provided.

About: I grew up with a chocolate lab and took in two cats in high school. I’ve primarily had cats as pets recently (and have become a master at giving cats pills). I’ve dog sat and cat sat for several friends. I always have a great time watching their home while spending time with their fur babies. I work fully remote for my 9-5 as well so any home with good wifi I can be there the whole working day. I have good experience giving cats pills and liquid medicine. I work remotely so I can work from any home with good wifi. So if your pet gets lonely I can keep them company all day long. For things that require a routine or specific timing, such as medicine, I set alarms and calendar reminders. I love getting a clear list of expectations from the pet owner of how to treat their specific pet. Every pet is unique and I want to make sure I’m caring for your pet in the way best for them! I’ve watched cats that needed three pills in the morning and one at night. I’ve watched dogs with special dietary restrictions where I had to tear up boiled chicken for them. I’ve also watched kitties that just want cuddles all day long and dogs who want to play fetch all day long. I always try to accommodate best I can!
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”

Mackenzie went above and beyond while caring for our dog for a week during our vacation. She provided exceptional care and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. We loved that our dog was able to stay comfortable in her own home while we were away. Mackenzie kept us updated, treated our fur baby like her own, and made the entire experience stress-free. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Blacksville is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $65 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 2,699 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blacksville. 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 Blacksville 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 Blacksville 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 Blacksville 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.
