About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up without a dog, but always looked forward to seeing my furry extended family members. I have had a family dog (Blue Heeler) for 14 years and we all share responsibility for his care. He is treated like royalty and is definitely the most favored family member. I also have experience sitting for other dogs and cats, and provide house sitting, walks, feeding, exercise, and lots and lots of love. Your pets are guaranteed the same treatment and adoration in my care and I will love and care for them as if they were my own because that is exactly what our furriest friends deserve. I look forward to caring for your beloved fur babies! I work from home and am available for drop in visits and walks during the day. I am off on Thursdays and weekends as well. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I am very loving and friendly to animals of all kinds. I will respect your space and keep my activities in your home limited to your pets needs only. Your home will be left exactly as you left it.

About: Long day of work or play? Don't let your dog get lonely, cooped up, or risk having an accident! Let them stretch their legs for a while with someone who is passionate about animal welfare. I am well-versed in both senior dogs and puppies, dogs with allergies and special needs, and leash training. Please me know if you are working on special commands, if your dog has any allergies or is on medications. Feel free to negotiate longer visits. About this sitter: Jordi is a big-time animal lover. From her family dogs to her pet hedgehog Wesley, she loves spending as much time as possible around animals as well as learning about exotic ones. She is an active volunteer at local shelters, creating enrichment activities and taking dogs for long walks. I'm currently unemployed in this disaster of a job market. While seeking full-time employment I am home 100% or at the local animal shelter volunteering. Whether it's couch cuddling, playing tug or fetch, games to give them mental stimulation, long walks, or socializing with other dogs, I am happy to follow your requests based on your dog's individual needs and preferences.

About: I've personally owned and fostered several dogs, cats, and fish throughout my 24 years of life, and am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling all of their unique needs. I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy! I work remotely, so I'm available pretty much anytime! Please check my calendar for availability prior to requesting services, I'll have it updated when I am unavailable. I promise to treat each pet like their own individual, making sure each one gets the proper love and care they deserve through long walks, scheduled food times, and endless pets!

About: I’ve always had dogs of all ages and breeds in the family. It is fulfilling giving dogs their best life possible. I understand a few walks can mean so much to your dog’s week and I promise to treat them as if they were a member of my family! I have a full time job that allows me to have mornings and early afternoons off. I would be willing to work abnormal hours and consider myself to have a very flexible schedule. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. While caring for your dog I will keep an eye out for other potential dangers that could harm them.

About: Hi. I grew up with dogs and cats and have had cats in my home for the past 20+ years. I have had more than one cat that has required daily medication over an extended period of time so I am comfortable giving meds. I have experience dog and cat-sitting for friends, family and coworkers. I know how difficult it is to go away and leave your furry family members home alone. I work from home now so I can work around your schedule and your pets schedule and give you that peace of mind you need while away. I will do more than just feed your pets. I am happy to walk your dog, brush your pets, get on the floor and play with your pets and I will clean up after them whenever necessary. I am an animal lover and would be honored to care for your furry family.

About: Hi! I’m Shani, an attentive, responsible and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have a professional background in supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. I bring patience and strong communication skills to each job. I have experience coordinating and managing schedules. I ensure the well-being of those in my care. I am naturally skilled at providing safe, structured, and loving care for dogs, cats and other pets. I’m detail-oriented, and comfortable handling routines, while still being laid-back. I am confident I can handle you and your pet's needs - whether that means consistent walks, feeding schedules, or special instructions. I also work one-on-one with clients, giving me the ability to read behavior, adapt quickly, and personalize the relevant kind of attention—which is just as important for pets as it is for people. I’m calm under pressure, and committed to creating a positive, stress-free environment. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, companionship during the day, or attentive overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own—with kindness, respect, and affection. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet. I mostly work from home and I have a flexible schedule so I enjoy my play time with my furry buddies or walks outside as an enjoyable part of my day. I have room indoors and outdoors for playing, a big fenced grassy backyard and a quiet neighborhood to explore for our walks. I can host pets at my house or come visit them at yours.

About: What sets me apart is my background in veterinary medicine and animal care. I have over five years of experience working with animals and currently work as a Veterinary Assistant and Customer Service Representative at an animal hospital. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those requiring medications or extra attention. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for potential health concerns, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine due to having a structured schedule that allows me to reliably plan around animal care. I work Monday through Friday from 3–9 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–1 PM, which leaves me available in the mornings, evenings, and Sundays for consistent pet visits, feeding, walks, and check-ins. I’m very organized with scheduling, allowing me to ensure each pet receives care on time and maintains their normal routine. In my client’s home, I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided, and I pay close attention to each pet’s normal behaviors so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or energy. Creating a calm, familiar environment by respecting the pet’s space and allowing them to interact on their own terms is my priority, especially for more shy or anxious animals. Communication is important to me when it comes to my own animals, so I provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pet is being well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, and I have raised two dogs myself along with my wife. I’ve also watched plenty of friends pets while they are out of town I work remote, so I often have free gaps throughout the day when I can take my dogs on walks or stop by for a visit. I have two incredibly friendly golden retrievers, but there is also plenty of space in my house along with a yard in case pets need space.

About: Hello! My name is Nicholas I’m 24, and I have a love for all pets! I’m also going to be graduating the following couple years for my degree for business management. I am going to be graduating with a business management degree and will be using this to reach my ultimate goal to open my doggy boarding service/grooming/training/veterinary clinic. It may seem like a lot to do but I’m willing to put the time and effort in and I’m already halfway there so I’m not stopping now! So this I believe will set me apart from the “doing it for extra money” I’m in this for the experience and to gain as much knowledge as possible about different dogs because ultimately this is my passion and career choice and has been since I was a little boy. Now you may ask what has lead me here and that’s been years in the making. I was always that kid in the woods or out back with a bucket trying to catch lizards, snakes, frogs all types of creatures. I basically would just enjoy catching animals looking at them and then letting them back go because I knew they had their own families to go to. So all my life I’ve just been revolves around animals animals and more animals! Even though my parents didn’t really like pets as much as me I still had that passion! But back to the main reason I’m here now, it’s becuase I have a huge love for dogs that has never gotten old and it’s not just money for me it’s something I genuinely do enjoy with my whole heart. I will always go above and beyond for you best friend and I will make sure they are happy and healthy when they are in my care! So I really hope that you give me a chance I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently full time on dog and animal boarding/walking/care services! I’m fully invested in my dream of opening my own veterinary hospital in the future that’s actually affordable. So I’m here whenever you need me! My home offers a semi fenced in environment and we have a LARGE backyard with our own river we love to walk, we also have some trails in our yard too!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been caring for them for over 8 years. For the past 2–3 years, I’ve regularly walked dogs at my college animal shelter. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with every animal I meet. I currently work a few mornings during the week, which leaves my afternoons and evenings free to care for your pets! I’m also available on weekends for dog walking, drop-ins, or boarding. Pet care easily fits into my routine because it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. I always prioritize comfort and safety, whether that means giving space or providing plenty of play. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s part of your home routine or training. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.

Kristie was fantastic - came at the designated times, communicated and asked questions as needed, and kept the backyard clean; the dogs we happy and well taken care of while we were gone for the weekend. She made me feel so comfortable, especially with a snarky dog that is a challenge sometimes. Looking forward to having her watch the dogs again!

Donovan was an absolute pleasure to have! He cared for all three of my dogs at once, and trust me—they’re a handful with their different personalities. Somehow, he made it all look like a breeze while I was away on my trip. He went above and beyond, even sending me picture updates that gave me peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable in his care, which means the world to me. I’ll definitely be requesting him again for my future vacations. Thank you so much, Donovan!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Blackwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Blackwood on Rover is $23.31 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 8,692 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Blackwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Blackwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Blackwood 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!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Blackwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
