Dog Sitting Blackwood

About: Hi! I go by Selena, and I’m a medical student who genuinely loves animals. I’ll care for your pet like my own and always provide reliable, attentive care. I’ll also keep you updated periodically with messages and pics! (: I offer dog walks and drop-in visits before or after class and on weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow their routine carefully and send updates with photos after every visit so you always know how they’re doing.

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.

“This was our first time using someone who wasn't family watch our puppies while we were away snd katie made us feel so confident that they were well taken care of! She was very communicative and the dogs had a blast with her! We will definitely be using her again for our next trip.”

About: I have always had a soft spot for puppies to seniors, all breeds of pooches. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides to drive around, a special treat for a pup cup and playing fetch in the yard. I am comfortable with medications, baths/grooming, accidents and the endless dog kisses. I have 2 dogs myself (Rottweiler, and a King Charles Cavalier) who are very rambunctious and always keep me on my toes. I am currently available during the week, weekends and holidays. I am home and available for drop ins, long visits, dog-walks, boarding/overnight visits at your home. I do have a very large fenced in yard for dogs to play in. Multiple crate sizes for dogs and cats along with carriers. For cats- I have multiple cat trees in my home. I do have areas to seperate pets if needed in my 4 story home. Multiple food bowls, blankets and beds to keep everyone happy.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for some years, and many people have trusted me to taking care of their pets or stay all night to take care of them My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to spend quality time caring for pets throughout the week. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently live in a townhouse, I don't have a fenced yard but inside my house I have a lot of space where your pet can walk freely

“Britney was the absolute best! We felt so comfortable leaving our pets in her hands. This was our first time ever using a pet sitter and was very satisfied with her services. We loved receiving pictures of our pets and knew they were being cared and loved for while we were away! I would definitely use Britney again! Thank you!!”

About: I’ve always had dogs of all ages and breeds in the family. It is fulfilling giving dogs their best life possible. We will treat your dogs like part of our family. I have a flexible job that allows me to provide care for animals throughout the day. My wife is also extremely involved and we enjoy spending our time around animals. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. My main goals are to keep your dog comfortable and to not send them home with a vet bill.

About: I've taken care of my own dog since I was 8, I have started working at a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility for over a year now. I have experience providing medication, potty breaks, treats, feeding and other tasks. I have also done at home daycare as well as overnight boarding at dogs homes. I have been around dogs of all behaviors and ages. I'm currently working part-time for other dog families. But I would happy to squeeze your pup in my schedule! I'm available most weekends. I have a fenced yard and my dog sleeps in my bed and is allowed on furniture. However if your dog sleeps in a crate or is not allowed on furniture I can accommodate!

“Courtney was amazing from beginning to end. Took time outta her day to come and meet my kitty cats before she started. Was on time and reliable. Appreciate you Courtney.”

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.

“Rebecca's five star treatment of my pups was incredible. If you want someone reliable, trustworthy and keeps you updated, look no further. My dogs absolutely adored her and I will be definitely utilizing her services again for the future.”

“Stacey and Anthony were amazing with our little guy Alfie!! They send so many pics and give the best updates, really makes us feel better about being away from him. Thank you guys!!”

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.

“Kara was great. She took care of my cat for a week. She gave lots of pets and documented (in pictures and in short write-ups) her visits with Monty. I would definitely use her again in the future!”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Zahira. I have experience with new and repeat clients on Rover. I love my time with each pet, and adore them so much. I’ve grown relationships with repeat clients that I grew to truly enjoy. Outside of Rover, I have lots of experience with animals through my personal life. I've had a cat growing up..and I still have my dog, Sport, who's now 15. My friends reach out to me for pet care before exploring other options, so l've had experience pet sitting outside of Rover on multiple occasions. I was an aspiring veterinarian before graduating with my Management Information Systems degree...animals have always held a special place in my heart. I look forward to spending more time with animals through Rover. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions :) I’m currently focused on building my business as a florist and pet sitting. My schedule is completely up to me, which gives me as much flexibility as I would like with pet sitting! My neighborhood is very walkable, which allows for nice walks. We also have huge grassed areas, I usually run around with my dog in these spaces to release some of his energy.

About: Hi! I've been fostering dogs from a local shelter for a little over 2 years. In that time, I've helped about 20 dogs find their forever families. There's been dogs in our home ranging in age from 9 months to 9 years, all with a different story. Abused, neglected, owner surrender, stray, court case holds, seniors, puppies, overweight, super skinny and anything else you can think of! I treated them all with empathy and showered them affection to earn their trust and love. Many of my former fosters come for visits while their owners are on vacation. Any pup that comes through my doors will be cared for and treated with respect, just like my fosters! I work at a school, so I'm currently on summer break. When school is in session, I work Monday to Friday 9-1, and I'm off evenings, weekends and holidays. I also work in the town in which I reside, so my commute is less than 5 minutes, meaning I'm close by! I have a fully fenced in yard, crates and dog beds in various sizes, bowls, blankets and mounds of toys. I'm also comfortable administering medication if needed.

“Yajaira is great! She helped us out in a jam with a last minute drop-in visit request. She also provides prompt updates as well as great pictures of the visit. 10/10 Highly recommend her for you and your fur babies.”

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, a reliable and caring animal lover with experience around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I grew up around many dogs with very different personalities and energy levels, which helped me become comfortable handling everything from playful, energetic pups to more shy or anxious dogs. I also have my own dog, Chunk, a 3-year-old black lab mix, who is incredibly loving with people, children, and other animals. Caring for him has taught me how important patience, consistency, and lots of love are when it comes to pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to follow any routines or special instructions your pet may need. I also love sending updates and photos during visits so owners can feel comfortable while away. At this time, I am only offering walks and drop-in visits, and I am not currently providing boarding, overnight stays, or doggy daycare services. As someone balancing graduate-level healthcare training, I’m attentive, dependable, patient, and used to caring for others. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! As a graduate student, my schedule varies week to week, but I currently have availability Mondays after 3 PM, Wednesdays before 1 PM, and Fridays after 3 PM. Weekend availability depends on my monthly schedule, but I will always communicate availability clearly and promptly! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for according to their normal routines and any owner instructions provided. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and surroundings to help pets feel safe and comfortable at all times. I understand that every animal has different needs and temperaments, and I always approach pets with patience, kindness, and respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while away.
