“Cris was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for our kitty. Spent a lot of time with her to try to build a relationship. Asked us if she could diffuse pheromones to help ease her anxiety, and so much more. We will definitely be booking with Cris again for future trips!”

“Jolene did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Herbie and Hercules! She was very friendly, communicative, and kept us updated with pictures throughout each visit. She was wonderful with both dogs, and it was clear they really liked her! It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Everything went smoothly, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We would definitely recommend Jolene and would happily book with her again!”


About: My empathetic nature and awareness for body language in animals sets me apart from other sitters.

About: As a dog owner and lifelong dog lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. When you’re away, you deserve peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for by someone who is attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have years of hands-on experience raising and caring for dogs of all sizes, from small family companions to large breeds like Cane Corsos and Italian Mastiffs. Raising and working with powerful dogs has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand canine behavior, allowing me to confidently care for dogs of any breed, size, or personality. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, feeding, medication, cuddles on the couch, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine and preferences so they can stay comfortable and happy in your absence. Your dog’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know that leaving a pet behind can be stressful, which is why I provide dependable care and regular updates so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands.

My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels loved, comfortable, and cared for until you’re back home with them. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, senior, large, or small, I’ll provide the same level of care and attention I would give my own. 🐾 I am currently working as a chef at a high end sushi restaurant and as a cook at a upscale restaurant, I am a current aviation student I will treat your pet like family, and make sure it gets the care it needs.

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.
“Maddison has done 2 drop in visits for my husky/pit mix and I’ve requested her 3 times a week from now on. I can tell my dog loves and trusts her. He has gone to the bathroom for her and eaten which aren’t things he’d do if he didn’t feel comfortable. He has been less of a crackhead when I get home from work so I know she’s definitely loving and playing with him the whole time. She is so quick to respond and so kind to me and my dog. I really wanted to gate keep her so she stays available but other pets deserve the kindness she offers. 10/10 I’d highly recommend! 😁”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,409 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Blackwater. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
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.
