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: 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
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!
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: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my availability shifts to evenings and weekends. Over the winter I will have more times open again! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!
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 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: 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’m a true animal lover and college student and I love to pet sit in my free time! I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and private clients for about 6 years now, and I always send pictures and videos from every visit to check in! I work full time as a shift supervisor at starbucks, so I balance pet sitting around my work schedule. Due to this my availability varies significantly weekly, but I will always be communicative about how pet sitting fits into my schedule! I have two cats of my own and I know what it’s like to worry that your animals are in good hands! I always provide the care I would require for my pets when I sit for anyone!

“Maddie gives great services to my Sammy. She's always on time and has not missed any time since she started with Sammy. She follows through with pictures when walking him, and communicates with me immediately when I reach out to her.”
“John was great! He took wonderful care of our pup, who immediately bonded with him. We also appreciated John’s communication and updates. We’d recommend John, and will be booking with him again in the future.”
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.

About: Hi! My name’s Selena, and I’m a medical student and lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Every animal has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats that fit around my class schedule, with availability before or after class and on weekends. I especially enjoy dog walking because it gives dogs the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve while letting me spend time outdoors with them. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive patient, attentive care. Communication is important to me, so you’ll receive updates and photos after every visit. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special instructions. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know you and your furry family member!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blackwood
We’ve had such wonderful experiences with Stacey! Our dog has stayed overnight with her in the past, and she’s also come by to take her for a walk and feed. Stacey always gives the best updates, which gives us so much peace of mind, and it’s clear how much she truly cares. She takes amazing care of our baby every single time. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely — highly recommend! 🐾✨
Jenny has been unbelievably kind and patient with my shy rescue Jesse. He is responding quickly to her positive energy, learning to be friends and allow her to walk him. She has brought her husband Anthony and little daschund so they can walk together, a beautiful healing experience for my unsocialized, scared dog. They are gems and we are so lucky to have we found them!!
Melissa is such a caring and responsible dogwalker! She really takes the time to care for our dog, Kyrie, and you can tell because our dog immediately took to her. Melissa’s also a great communicator and has been proactive about letting me know if there’s any issues or any schedule changes. I highly recommend Melissa :)

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Blackwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blackwood. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
