“Ellie did such a great job watching my two dogs for a week. She kept communicating with me throughout the week and sent pictures and videos of my dogs. I was relieved to find someone as great as Ellie to watch my dogs and take care of my home while I was away. I would trust and book with her again.”
“This is the second time Evelyn and her sister have stayed with our two dogs and it went just as great as the first time! Our dogs love them both very much! She always keeps us updated and sends lots of pics!”
“Savannah was so great with my puppers. I have one with incontinence issues, one who is getting dementia, and a sassy chihuahua who can be a drama queen. Savannah took excellent care of them and my home, and was great about sending me pictures and keeping me updated. I will definitely book her again!”
“I will continue to use Meagan as often as I can. She’s wonderful with my quirky dogs and she’s wonderfully responsive. I couldn’t ask for a better stranger to stay in my home with my pets!”
“Arysson did a great job with my pups! She was willing to drive out to meet them (we live in Owensboro and she lives out in Evansville) before the actual dog sitting. She left the house the way she found it and sent me pictures of my dogs.”
About: I absolutely love animals, more than people. If a dog doesn’t trust you, I don’t either. My animals are my children and I don’t care what you think. ❤️ I am flexible with my work schedule and can leave midday to let your furbaby outside and also stop by before and after work, plus weekends I’m available any time! I take care of my animals better than I take care of myself. My animals are well taken care of and always will be. My animals eat before I do. My animals love walks, playing for hours and enjoy being tucked into bed each night.
About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, and puppies my entire life and have volunteered with the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I provide dependable, personalized care and treat every animal like family. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a beautiful 10 month old that also has a special love for animals & plenty free time 🥰 I care for dogs in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your routines closely, provide plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, walks, and medication if needed, while keeping your home safe and respected.
About: I have watched all kinds of breeds of dogs for about 7 years now for friends and family when they go out of town or on vacation. I currently work 7:30 to 4 during the week and work from home, I am available after work during the week, and on nights and weekends. I prefer to watch dogs at their owners houses rather than mine because it is easier on the animals to be in their own environment.
About: I love dogs! I’m a full time dog groomer and certified dog trainer. I love providing dogs with the utmost love and care. I also have safety certifications for first aid for dogs! I work full time at home and will be available all day so your pup will have the most fun and freedom that they could want and need! I live in a 2 bedroom home with a dog of my own that LOVES to play and be around other dogs. Your dog will be in great hands!
About: I currently work at a local dog grooming shop and volunteer at the humane society regularly. I graduated with a dog trainer certification from an online program a few months ago. I have been accepted into the Vet Tech program at octc and will begin in the fall. I have experience training and caring for both very large dogs and very hyper puppies. I also have experience safely handling reactive dogs. My personal favorite type of dog to work is the large and rowdy ones who never seem to run out of energy. Aside from the usual services offered on here (walks, drop in visits, etc) I can also help with basic obedience, leash training, and nail trims. I am currently working part time but will be available Friday- Sunday as well as most weekdays after 3pm. I try to keep my schedule on here accurate and updated. I think every dog needs to be handled differently. I always like to hear as much as the owner can tell me about the dog before handling him/her. Ive mentioned my experience handling reactive dogs, meaning if your pet doesn't get along with other dogs or people (pulling on the leash, lunging, barking) I will still be fine with handling the pet as long I am confident in my ability to do so safely.
About: Hello! My name is Nick, if you’re looking for a trusted place that you can feel comfortable about you found it. I have tons of experience working with animals, and I have always had my own pets. I am very friendly and animals always feel very comfortable in my care. I love and care for any animal as if it were my own. Giving your pet attention and making it feel at home is top priority. There is someone here always, so if your pet has anxiety about being left alone, it’s not a problem. I hope to hear from you and make your pet feel like family. Please let me know if you have any questions. There will be someone home and available for their needs most of the time. I have dedicated space set up for the dogs in my home. There are crates for those who are crate trained or they can free roam if that is what they are used too. Let me know if your dogs are social or if they need to be kept away from other dogs. We have plenty of space to accommodate dogs that aren't social. Safety is our main priority. Thanks
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have absolutely loved everything single animal single animal I’ve met more than anything! I have had neighbors, friends, and family trust me walking and taking care of their pet while they’re gone my whole life. I currently am doing school online, so I am able to make time throughout the day for feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, and giving pets the attention they need! I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their usual routine and instructions closely, including feeding, playtime, walks, medication if needed, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and clean environment while they’re in my care. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 86 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Armstrong. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Armstrong walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Armstrong maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Armstrong 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
