“Sarah was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time booking a sitter for our cat. Sarah was wonderful and very attentive to our cat's needs. Our main concern with leaving was that our cat would be lonely and get no mental stimulation but Sarah made sure that she was cared for and got lots of play time! Sarah was very kind and very accommodating. We look forward to having her cat-sit again!”
“Tammy takes great care of my cat! This is the second time that I booked with Tammy and she continued to do an excellent job. She is very communicative and is a genuine animal lover who goes above and beyond.”
“Eileen is wonderful. She took great care of my two kitties, doing drop-in visits twice a day. Both kitties warmed to her immediately, even my one that is typically a bit shy. She updated me with lots of photos at each visit, which I loved! She also took care of a few little chores, like bringing in the mail and trash cans - which I didn’t expect! I am glad to have found Eileen, and I will be a repeat customer!”
“Thank you so much to Joanna for taking such wonderful care of our cat. He became very attached to her and clearly liked her a lot. Joanna did her job very responsibly and on time, listened carefully to all our wishes, and always sent us photos of our cat. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend Joanna to everyone. We will definitely reach out to her again if needed.”
“Hailey was such a great cat sitter I can’t wait to plan my next vacation and have her come back to take care of my two fur babies again. She was excellent with communicating with me and went above and beyond my expectations. I am so happy I was even able to go out of the country and be out of touch for a couple of days with no worries that everything at my house would be taken care of with her. Highly recommend and will be using again in the future whenever possible.”

“To say I was very happy with Gabriela's care for my cat is an understatement. She was very professional, prompt with communication and caring for my cat. Gabriela made sure that Kitty received her medication on time, kept me informed of Kitty's progress and answered all of my questions promptly. She is very observant and made suggestions that were very good and clearly knew what she was talking about when making those suggestions. I would highly recommend Gabriela and will use her in the future to take care of my cat.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I understand how important it is to find someone dependable who will treat your pet like family. For 12 wonderful years, I shared my home with my beloved cat. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little things that keep cats happy and healthy. After losing him, I’m not quite ready to welcome another cat into my home, but I would love the opportunity to care for yours and continue doing something that has always brought me joy. I currently offer drop-in visits for cats. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, clean the litter box, spend quality time playing or simply keeping them company, and carefully follow any special instructions you provide. Every cat has a unique personality, and I’m happy to let them set the pace—whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. I’ll always be honest about my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention. I believe exceptional pet care is built on trust, communication, and reliability. I’ll treat your home with respect, care for your cat as if they were my own, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member! I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can provide excellent care for! I believe great pet care starts with trust and communication. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how things are going!
About: My name is Rashad I am a 32 year old who has always had a strong love for pets. I am local to the Blackwood area but I will travel to care for your animals personally. I have personally owned 3 dogs, a Weimaraner named Bella, pitbull terrier mix named Jay and a toy sized Yorkshire terrier named Chloe. Unfortunately I am no longer a pet owner but I still I hope to be able to watch over some other furry companions to fill the void that has been made by their absence. I have experience as a manager at Petco so not only do I know how to care for dogs, I am well versed in the basic needs for most reptiles, birds, cats, and other small animals.I have no problem accepting pets that are not spayed or neutered for some reason rover won’t let me change that setting on my profile, so please disregard. I hope to share my affinity for pets with other pet parents while they allow me to host their fur children and look forward to yet again feeling the comfort of a four legged friend in my home. I work a rotating schedule with 12 hour shifts at a healthcare facility. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date but I am flexible so I do encourage you to reach out to me directly with an inquiries about dates and times I am available. I’m typically available early mornings and in the evening on the days I’m working but on my off days I am ready to be an all day companion for your furry friend! I have many years experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and breed. I know how important it is to provide a safe and friendly environment to our four legged friends. I always try and approach any arrangement with both the owners and pets best interest in mind. I look forward to crafting a safe and trustworthy environment for your furever friends.
“Nicole did a great job checking in and feeding our cats. She provided us with pictures and daily updates. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Nicole for taking care of our cats.”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Blackwood is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $27 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.

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 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.

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 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.
