“Maya and Griffin LOVE Sofia as do I! She takes excellent care of them as well as our home. Very respectful of our place, totally trustworthy, and very dependable. I'm so thankful to have her as our dog sitter.”
“This was Shanna's second time watching our fur kids and again we were completely happy with her services. We are already arranging our next weekend away and will use Shanna whenever possible! ”
“Kylee was absolutely wonderful with my two anxious fur babies. Not to mention she reduced my anxiety with her frequent texts and pictures. I just loved Kylee and I would highly recommend her to everyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Kylee. 🩷🩷🩷”
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my dog and my house! She was so kind and caring, and I could tell right away that she truly loves and cares for the dogs in her care as if they were her own. She sent me so many photos, made treats for my dog, and gave her so much love and attention. I was especially nervous about leaving my dog because she is very sensitive and I had never left her before, but everything went so well and I felt very comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. Karen is truly the sweetest and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog like their own❤️”
“Christopher was absolutely wonderful with Bodie! He agreed to help us on very short notice and spent about five hours with Bodie at our house. He kept us updated, sent pictures, and was delightful to communicate with. We felt great knowing Bodie was in such caring hands. We’d happily book Christopher again and highly recommend him!”
“Tahlia was great! Our house was left in perfect condition and our dog was very happy to have company while we were away. She was also very flexible when our vacation had to be postponed a day.”
“Lora was amazing! Took care of every detail with my German Shepard Abby. She went above and beyond, even staying with her and caring for her on the 4th of July during the fireworks. I was able to relax and completely trust that Abby was in great hands. Cannot ask for more than that!”
About: I've gained hands on experience helping my mom care for dogs through her Rover business and have recently been trusted to house sit and care for dogs for a family. I love animals and will treat every pet with the same care and attention I'd give my own. Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I have a lot of free time and am home most days. When college starts, I'll only have classes on Wednesday mornings, so I'll still have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, one friendly golden retriever, and two cats who stay upstairs while we're dog sitting. There’s also a safety gate I put up to keep dogs separated from the upstairs and away from anything they shouldn't get into when I’m out of the house. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I'll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Allison was great taking care of Brody, my Shih Tzu. She sent photos and kept me updated. Beings Brody is a rescue who I adopted, I'm over-protective, so Allison's care for him sure made me feel better!! Yes, I definitively recommend Allison.”
“I had super anxiety about leaving my dogs with someone we didnt know. Danny did more than 100% of taking care of my furbabies. I would recommend him again and again. He is trustworthy and loves animals. He sent me pictures and videos of the dogs because he knew how much anxiety I had. The next time I need a sitter ot someone I know I will be contacting Danny!!!!”
“I am extremely pleased with Lisa. My boys loved her and already miss her and have been looking for her since she left. I would highly recommend her and appreciate everything she has done.”
“Wonderful caregiver and house sitter! Kept us informed with messages and pictures! She took great care of our babies while we were away! Ok too if that, our house was in the same condition as we left it and treated with respect! Would definitely book again, we highly recommend!!”
About: With my background as a vet tech in a surgical specialty, I’m used to working with pets in a variety of situations. I’m comfortable caring for animals with little to more advanced medical needs and always focus on keeping them calm, safe, and as stress-free as possible. While I do work during the day, I’m very mindful of my schedule and only take on bookings when I can be fully available. Your pet’s care and routine are always a priority for me. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, regular potty breaks, walks or playtime, and plenty of attention. I keep a close eye on behavior and overall well-being and am comfortable administering medications if needed. I always prioritize a calm, safe environment and clear communication with owners through updates and photos.
About: Growing up with multiple pets has given me the knowledge and experience about what it takes to care for and ensure the well-being of others' pets. On top of living with pets all my life, I have seven years of pet sitting experience under my belt, with several pet owners requesting my services more than once due to their satisfaction with my care of their pets. I'm currently living at home in Chandler, AZ and am looking for pet sitting opportunities to do while I'm here. I can pet sit anytime during the week and will stay at the home if requested. I have a job in Central Scottsdale where I’m typically scheduled 5 days a week with shifts ranging from 5-8 hours. If you’re uncomfortable with your pets being alone for a bit during the day then unfortunately I may not be the best choice for you. I do not offer pet care in my home, but I am more than willing to stay the night at the owner's home to both pet and house sit. Staying the night with the pets has been the primary service that I offer.
“shianne made it so easy to be away from our zoo for a week. she gave them plenty of love attention and exercise. communication was easy and she left my house so clean. my pups can’t wait to see her again!”
“Madison did a great job caring for my dogs and house. The dogs were happy and well cared for and the house was neat and as I left it. Very happy with experience and will definitely request Madison again.”
About: I’ve taken care of family friends pets for the past 10 years while away on vacation or quick pop ins when needing extra assistance for their furry friends! I work full time, remotely, so I have a flexible schedule to be able to work in various locations or come assist for a quick pop in between work. I have a fenced yard with turf available for pets use. I also have a doggie door in my home for access to bathroom breaks outside of scheduled ones.
“Lisa was everything we could have hoped for in a dog sitter! She provided frequent updates and pictures, took such great care of our fur babies! We will definitely book her again ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,550 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blackwater. 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 Blackwater 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 Blackwater 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 Blackwater 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.
