“This was our first time using Tooba and we were very happy with the care she gave our cat. We could tell from the pictures she sent that our cat was comfortable with her and getting the attention she needed. We will definitely book her again when needed.”

About: I have learned about puppy and dog care through the adoption of two of my own, and have cared for numerous others over the years. I have raised puppies, cared for puppies, and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes. Our 4 year old little dog also loves meeting new friends if your dog is social. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! If I'm not caring for my human child or my pets or someone else's, I am usually available, and looking forward to caring for your fur babies! I am available for housesits and have lots of local experience. I can take your dogs on walks, feed, bathe, brush and snuggle them. Our pets are up to date on vaccinations and flee/tick medication and prefer that yours are as well!

“Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!”

“Jessica took wonderful care of our 10-year old cat Cedric while we were on vacation. She was responsive, professional, and paid attention to his medical needs. She played with him and supervised while he was laid on our apartment balcony. We would absolutely ask Jessica to take care of our cat again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs as well as turtles, hamsters and birds. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little details that help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s established routine, from feeding and exercise to playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I also have extensive experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, which has taught me to be especially observant of changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall well-being. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. I am open to caring for other pets as well including reptiles, rodents, birds etc! ❤️ I’m currently in my last year of nursing school, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I plan my availability carefully and only accept bookings I know I can reliably accommodate. I have flexibility for drop-in visits on many days and will communicate clearly about my availability before booking. When possible, I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s usual feeding, medication, potty, and care routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own and take the responsibility of being trusted in someone’s home seriously. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. I’m very observant and will communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual with your pet’s behavior or well-being. I’ll also provide photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi there! My name is Bridgette and I am 22. I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 9 years old! While I have been a dog lover and owner my whole life, I have tons of experience caring for and loving cats as well. Friends, neighbors, and family members have relied on me to look after their pets for weeks at a time. Additionally, I have extensive experience caring for rescue dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with greater needs. I work a hybrid schedule in the Triangle area and have tons of flexibility. I am happy to work around your pet's needs! As a bonus: I have years of experience caring for chickens! Both as an owner and as a caretaker for others. If you have some feathered friends in addition to your dog or cat, or simply a flock by itself, I am more than willing to look after them. Feed and water refill, egg collection, coop opening/closing, and coop cleanup are all tasks that I am well versed in. I work a hybrid schedule in the Triangle area and my in-office hours can vary weekly. I am able to care for pets before and after my in-person commitments, and will oftentimes be able to spend the whole day with them! My weekends are completely open. I will accommodate all of your pet's needs when caring for them in your home! I am always respectful of privacy and will follow the routine/protocol that you set for your pet's care.

About: I have always had pets throughout my life. Not only have I taken care of the ones I have at home, but since the age of 12, my neighbors and family friends have trusted me to take care of their pets. I take care of their basic needs and I always I make sure to stay and hang out with the pets as well! I’ll play with them, take them on walks, and give them all my attention while I am with them! Even with my full-time school schedule as a graduate student at, I make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are reserved for walks, feedings, and playtime, and weekends allow for more flexible care and attention. I’m committed to giving pets the attention and comfort they need while you’re away! I will care for and play with their pets before and after work. I can feed them, take them on walks, play with them in the yard, and just simply give them company. I am also able to do overnight stays at the pet’s home and dog walking either in the morning or the evening or anytime during the weekends.

About: I've cared for my neighbors cats and dogs for several years and love to volunteer at a local animal shelter where I spend my time loving on and walking the dogs. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I can provide feeding, walking, cleaning and any other services you may need. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I’m currently on summer break and have plenty of time to play with your pups! Let me know a time and I’m more than sure I can make it happen. I love spending time outside and exercise daily so I'd love to spend time with your animal outside. I would like to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away. Just let me know what a typical day for them is like and I’ll make sure they have a peaceful and fun experience while you’re away. I love playing with dogs and going on walks to make sure they have a blast while I’m caring for them.

About: I’m currently semi-retired and have a lot of flexibility in my weekly schedule to provide care for cats and can arrange pet visits to accommodate your pets. I can give medication if needed and lots of cuddles and playtime. I have a quiet cat friendly home with lots of pet toys and cozy spots with windows for my indoor only cat to watch from. Occasionally he likes to watch “cat tv” on you tube. He also enjoys hunting and chasing special cat toys and lights.

About: Hi! I’m a student who loves animals but unfortunately can’t have my own right now, so I’d love to spend some time with yours! 💖 I’ve been dog walking and sitting since high school, as well as having grown up with dogs! I love getting outside and staying active. Happy to walk or run with your dogs depending on their energy level. I’m reliable, caring, and super excited to get to meet your pups! 🐶💖 I am currently in school and have the largest availability at night or on weekends! However, my schedule can be variable during the week so feel free to reach out during weekdays as well! ☀️ I can adapt to the environment of your home! I’m happy to hang out with your pets, crate them as needed, and take them out in the neighborhood. If your pets are big cuddlers, I am too! And if they prefer some distance, I’m happy to coexist and make sure all their needs get met!

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.

About: I’ve been unofficially pet sitting throughout my entire undergraduate experience, caring for pets for friends, classmates, and others who needed someone they could trust. As a dog mom myself, I know that taking care of someone’s pet means so much more than simply feeding them, taking them outside, and making sure they’re safe. I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to spend time with me! One thing that definitely sets me apart is that I talk to pets like they’re people! I believe verbal stimulation and interaction are so important for building trust and creating a connection. I love getting down on their level, talking to them, playing with them, and learning their individual personalities and quirks. Animals read energy incredibly well, so I always bring lots of positive energy, patience, and affection. I’m also a very active person, and I believe our pets love staying active too! Whether that means a long walk, playing outside, throwing a ball 100 times, or just keeping them entertained inside, I’m happy to match their energy. At the same time, I understand that every pet is different, so if your pet would rather curl up next to me and get attention, I’m more than happy to do that too. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine! I like to wake up extra early, usually around 6 a.m., to make sure my own dog gets a good walk before I head to class. He’s a husky, so our early morning walks mean cooler weather for him and, of course, plenty of time to roll around in the morning dew! I typically have a break in the middle of the day when I come home for lunch and another walk, and most of my evenings are spent studying and cuddling with my dog on the couch. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give other pets that same level of attention, exercise, and companionship. I know firsthand how important it is to have people you genuinely trust with your pet. I got Bucky (my chocolate lab/husky) as a puppy during my sophomore year of college, and I was incredibly lucky to have a “village” of people who helped me raise him. Whether I was in class, away at a track meet, or simply couldn’t get home, I never had to worry about whether Bucky had been fed, taken outside, or even gotten safely out of the building during a fire alarm. I’m still so thankful for the people who loved and looked out for him when I couldn’t be there, and I hope to provide that same sense of security and peace of mind for other pet owners. I want you to be able to leave knowing that someone is not just checking on your pet, but genuinely looking out for them. I treat someone else’s pet with the same level of care and attention I would want someone to give my own. I think animals are very good at reading our energy, so I focus on creating a calm, positive, and comfortable environment where they can warm up to me at their own pace. I love getting down on their level, talking to them, playing with them, and learning their individual personality and routine. Safety is always my priority, so I’m careful with doors, leashes, feeding instructions, medications or special needs, and anything else their owner tells me is important. In a client’s home, I also respect that I’m entering both their space and their pet’s space, so I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, safe pet who felt like they got plenty of attention while you were away.

Natalie was GREAT!! Our cats LOVED her, probably more than they like us even! She was able to coax our very curmudgeonly elderly cat out from her hiding place and interact with her on each of the home visits! Natalie took great photos and shared pertinent and expansive notes about her home visits, too, which put us at ease as we vacationed. Would definitely book again! (Oh, and she brought in our delivered packages while we were away, without prompting, which was much appreciated!)

We had another wonderful experience with Melissa. From her daily updates, I could tell that my cat became more and more interested in her and truly trusted her. On the last day, I even saw him showing his belly and asking for affection. (My shy cat only shows his belly to people he completely trusts.) Thank you so much for treating him with such kindness and care. We truly appreciate everything you do.

Sarah is truly a gem. She stopped by throughout the weekend to care for our cat and was wonderfully reliable — always on time for feedings and making sure Dua got her medication. She also follows the golden rule of cat‑sitting: always send the humans plenty of photos and videos 😊. We’ll happily have Sarah look after Dua again anytime she’s up for it.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Blackwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Blackwood is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 per visit. 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 2,353 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Blackwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blackwood. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.

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.
