About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all types! Neighbors, family, and friends rely on me to walk, feed, and play with pets! I’m currently a college student home for summer break so I have lots of time to dedicate to animals and making sure they are taken care of! When entering a clients home, I ensure no passwords or key codes are shared with others and no one else is entering the house. I ensure that I only enter necessary rooms for the animals care and that everything is locked up when I leave.
“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!)”
“Julie was amazing! Not only did she take great care of my cat, Emilia, but she also looked after a stray cat that occasionally visits our house. She kept me updated during every visit and even cleaned Emilia’s food dish. I was so happy to have connected with her, and I felt completely at ease knowing Emilia was in such kind and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Betsy is great! Very reliable with good communication. She went above and beyond making sure the house temperature was comfortable when our A/C went out and retrieving our cat when he slipped out. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Rosa dropped in and walked my anxious dog during the day while I was out of town. She sent detailed updates after each drop in, which eased my mind as I was far from home. She followed all instructions perfectly. I would absolutely reach out to Rosa again in the future.”
“Dafna was great! Kitties well taken care of and seemed very content when we got home. She followed my directions and even brought some packages I had delivered inside. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Meaghan was extremely attentive to my cats behavior and needs, and was extremely responsive and communicative via the Rover app. I truly appreciated her thoroughness, care and love she gave my kitties!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I grew up caring for my neighbors' dogs, trained my own dog as a puppy, and I currently care for a senior dog, so I understand their special needs. I’m also familiar with managing different pet temperaments and have experience caring for my own cat, which has given me a well-rounded ability to handle various pets. I’m confident I can provide the attentive, loving care each animal deserves. I have a few part time jobs that allow me extra time to hang out with your animals. I also have weekend and evening flexibility. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I ensure the environment is pet-proofed and provide plenty of space for exercise, play, and rest. I follow any specific care instructions, from feeding schedules to medications.
“Our cats love Dana. WE love Dana. She cares for kitties as if they were her own, and her detailed (hilarious) reports are the highlights of our trips. She captures their personality so purrfectly in every photo and message. We feel totally at ease having found her.”
“Bella did a great job with our pups whole we were out of town. She was very easy to work with and responded quickly to request. Thanks hope to utilize her again in the future.”
“Our adopted cat Winston hasn’t had an easy life. So leaving him to take a vacation was a big deal for us. Rachael was the perfect caregiver. Extremely capable prompt and affectionate. We highly highly recommend her!”
“Brian took great care of our two cats. We really appreciated the photos and updates he sent with each visit. He went above and beyond to engage our cats and keep our home clean and safe for them.”
“Tyler was great. We could tell right away the care and consideration that was taken into watching our dog. Very communicative even double checking on things when somethings happened beyond our control. We really appreciated it and will def be our #1”
About: Have been the go to person for my friends and family to take care of there pets since 2008. Since 2015 my friends have recommended there friends to me and now I am here to love and care for your fur baby also. My fur baby Naomi and I just moved into this are. Cause she needs morning love I am available after 7:30am. Besides Sundays my scedual is pretty flexible. I stay calm around others dogs and cats always waiting for the dog/cat (or owner) to give me permission to love on them. I love sending pictures to the owner to give them peace of mind that there baby is in good hands.
“Loved having Kate out to take care of Annie and Leo. Kate came out a couple weeks ago to meet them and us and she’s a real pleasure to talk to plus our dogs got along very well with her. My husband and I have no hesitation in hiring Kate again or recommending her.”
“Great first drop-in visit with Meredith ahead of our upcoming house sit. She was attentive, asked thoughtful questions about Wallaby’s routine, and clearly cares about animals. Since Wallaby takes a little time to warm up to new people, this visit gave them a great opportunity to get to know each other. It was a really positive first step, and we’re looking forward to the upcoming stay!”
“Violet was a super prompt communicator and had no issues taking over on caring for our cat, Miso. She even traversed rough storm weather to check on her when we were out of the country. Would def book again!”
About: Worked with Dogs and Cats both young and old. Along with a small range of farm animals like chickens and goats. Additionally I have works with some more unique pets like chinchillas. I have also done some house sitting off and on for a few years. Currently working part time over the summer so have more than enough time at all times throughout the week. I am free pretty much 24/7 all day every week but tend to like one day notice of booking. I have a small back yard that’s fenced in and more than enough space both within and outside my house. I also can let them out, feed, play, whatever they need if ever or whenever you would like me to go to your house.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Blackwood is $20

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.
Caleb was an excellent cat sitter. He was easy to communicate and work with and helped us out on extremely short notice (<1 week). Caleb spent time with our cat and sent several pictures a day as part of his updates. He went above and beyond by sweeping up after our fur ball and even buying us more trash bags! I will not hesitate to rebook the next time we travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Blackwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,365 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blackwood. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
