About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.
“Hailey was amazing with our dog Luna!! She was able to accommodate our last minute scheduling while we were getting married. Her check ins with pictures and comments made us feel at ease while we were away. She even let Luna play with her dog for companionship!! She gave Luna a supplement too on top of her normal feeding. Thanks Hailey!!! We look forward to seeing you again!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog caregivers is my genuine love for dogs and the experience I’ve gained from being a dog owner for many years. I currently own a beautiful pit bull that is 11 years old ,her name is Blue. Before my dog Blue, , I owned a miniature pinscher for 14 years who passed away from old age and being ill.I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Especially knowing how important it is to me, when I am away, to know that my dog is cared for fed, and feels safe. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I do currently work full-time. Although I work full-time, I am done work at 2:30, and off in the summer. My husband has recently passed away. I have a lot more time on my hands to give your pet a lot of love. I am done work early enough that I can get to an owner‘s house for a dinner feeding for your pet, letting your pet out if you have a fenced yard , if not a walk. Playtime for your pet companionship whatever the case may be my weekends are free and my summer . It is then that I could provide overnight stays. Having a dog myself, I would not provide any services at my home, however, I would gladly come to your house, carefully come in, call your dog’s name and provide whatever services you would like. Those services would include a 15 minute visit or a 30 min visit In a 15 minute visit: *Let dog out/ short walk * Fresh water/ feeding *Lots of attention/ affection 20.00 30 min drop in * Walk/yard time *Feeding / water refresh * playtime/ companionship *Poop cleanup * photo text update- 30.00

“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.”
“Stacey was absolutely amazing at keeping us updated during our vacation. She sent us pics, videos and kept us in communication throughout the day. It really eased our worries and we were able to relax on vacation! We highly recommend her and will be using her again for our next vacation! Thank you so much Stacey for taking great care of our baby girl ?”
About: First of all I would like to say that I love dogs. But doesn’t everyone? I have had dogs since I was a little child, labrador retriever and a German Shepherd. I have two children living with me and the third teenager on most weekends. We all love dogs. I can take your dog to the local dog park and run with him/her or I can take them to your neighborhood to walk or mine your preference. I also have an American hairless terrier who doesn’t like the cold or the rain LOL. I also have a kitten that’s about six months old and they get along very well. I am very flexible with pick up and drop off times and I understand that life happens and I can accommodate most requests for changes.

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!

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.

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.

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.
