“Evie loved our girls as if they were her own. She sent lots of pics and videos and we could tell our girls were so very happy in her care. One of our pups was a new rescue and is extremely timid, anxious, and afraid and Evie made her feel safe and we came home to her feeling safe which was such a blessing. Our home was in perfect shape when we returned Would highly recommend Evie to take care of your pets - she’s fantastic!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received! From the moment we met, it was clear our pup was in great hands. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals they watch. We will absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members!”

About: With over 2 years of hands-on experience at a doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, I've developed a deep understanding of dogs' needs at every stage of life. Growing up with pets and working with them professionally has made me a reliable, patient, and compassionate caregiver. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and requirements. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I mostly work during the week from 7 AM to 12 PM, leaving me plenty of time to make drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays before or after my work hours. I’m flexible and can adjust to accommodate early morning or evening visits for your pets. On weekends, I typically work a short window from 8 AM to 9 AM and then from 4 PM to 5 PM, which still allows me to provide pet care during the rest of the day. My schedule gives me the ability to give your pets the attention they deserve, whether it's during weekdays or weekends. In my home, I’m happy to care for smaller dogs (under 25 lbs) as I have two friendly dogs of my own that get along well with others. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take my dogs and any guests out on a leash for walks and bathroom breaks with ease, ensuring they’re safe and secure at all times. In your home, I treat your pets like my own—providing them with attention, playtime, and regular walks, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or overnight stay, safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities!
About: I have had and cared for dogs all of my childhood! I even worked as a kennel attendant at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I have worked with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I have no issue with following specific care routines! I am currently a student at the University of Evansville! I would be able to visit with and care for your pets before, between, and after classes during the week and whenever you request during the weekend! I will gladly follow any diet restrictions and medication accommodations for your pet! I will feed, play with, and walk (if requested) your pet. I am prepared to clean up any messes that may be made by your pets during my time in your home or with your pet!

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was young. I’m trustworthy and focused on keeping your pet comfortable and safe. I am unemployed so I'm free all weekdays. I do go out on weekends though, but can still care for your pet when needed. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They are very playful and good with other animals. I also have a house with a fenced in yard.
“Beth was amazing I had peace of mind my entire trip away! She is awesome about communicating through consistent updates with pictures and messages, came home to a very happy cat! Very pleased and would highly recommend! I’ll surely be booking with her again!”

“We had a weekend trip planned and didn't know what we were going to do about our pets. I'm so glad my wife found Rover and through them, Meagan. Meagan is absolutely wonderful and our dog and 3 cats were very well cared for. I'm so glad she stayed in our home and she did an excellent job. We will definitely schedule with her again. We couldn't ask for a better person. She's A+++++ Our animals love her.”

“Needed a live-in sitter on pretty short notice and I am so glad I found Heidi! Murphy instantly loved her and she kept me up to date consistently on things. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have watched all kinds of breeds of dogs for about five years now her friends and family when they go out of town or on vacation. I currently work 8 to 5 every day during the week except for Thursdays I work 8 to 12 I am available on nights and weekends. I have a fenced in yard, but I prefer to watch dogs at their owners houses rather than mine because it is easier on the animals.
About: I have pet sit for people since I have been about 13, I am now almost 20! I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I have watched all kinds of animals, even a pig! I am a busy girl, but I love to spend any time I can with animals! I would love to take dogs on walks during the day or nights. I also stay with your dogs for vacations, work trips, etc. aslong as I’m not away for basketball. I would mainly watch dogs in my clients home. Stay the night with them, feed them, and take them on walks. I also love to have playtime with them if they’re up for it, but if not I love to cuddle and give them lots of lovins!
About: Since I could remember I have taken care of animals for my family and friends and I could not ask for a better job. I have experience working at a dog daycare and caring for pups there as well as some training experience with young puppies. Currently working as a pharmacy tech while looking for a full-time accounting job. I would love to take care of your pups in my spare time. Right now my schedule is flexible and depends on my pharmacy schedule. Hoping to have a more set schedule soon! I have such a love for caring for any kind of animal and will try my best to help care for yours! I have a mini dachshund of my own named Finnick who is just the best. I got him as a graduation gift and raised him since I was able to, he is my pride and joy!

About: Growing up me and my family have always had multiple dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, and even hamsters, I was always begging for another animal. My parents had told me if I get this animal I have to take good care of it, so from a young age I have had experience taking care of multiple animals at once, making sure they were fed, walked and properly played with and taken care of! In highschool and college I have had friends and family ask me to take care of their pet while they’re away on a trip so I already have experience either taking an animal in for a day or two or showing up to their house to feed, water, walk and play with the animal. I work around 27-30 hours a week. So during the week most days I am free until 11-noon and then on my break at work I would be able to stop by and finally when I get off work around 7-8 I am free for the rest of the night. I rarely work work Thursday, Saturday or Sunday so those days I will be completely free! I do not have any pets at the moment. My lease does not allow me to have pets. Whenever I was living back home I always made sure I fed my cats and dogs on time and always made sure I had time to play with them so I can make them as happy as they make me!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. Been taking care of my own dogs for 2 years now, but have plenty of experience before that. feeding, bathing, potty training, obedience training. I love to go on long walks with dogs, and I love to play with cats! I am a part time server and nanny. I start school in the fall and will have extra time on my hands in between classes and homework. I have two dogs at my home, we go on plenty of walks and we have enrichment time indoors as well as outdoors. I would do the same for your doggo children.
About: I started taking care of our new family Collie puppy, Chelsea, when I was 10 years old. What started out as me just "Making sure the dog has food and water," per my dad's old saying to get us to help take care of Chelsea. Grew into me not only doing that but brushing, walking, training, bathing, giving medications. I was also the one to take care of Chelsea in her last years. When I moved out my husband and I came back and brought her to Georgia with us. So I was in charge of her vet care then and when her hips got bad helping her up and down the apartment stairs. I was also the last family member to be with her when she had an event that ended up having her put down over. Chelsea was the pup that made me love taking care of dogs. Since her passing I have had dogs in our household, expect when we weren't allowed to have them because of where we were living. But even then I was still helping to care for them. I had fostered my mother-in-law's dog, Sheba, and got her better with rules of living in a home. Kennel and house broken. I got her to not be bored and chew on shoes. My mother-in-law was happy when Sheba came home a changed pup. Then there was Zoey. She was my husband's and mine but we couldn't keep her when we moved home. She went to be a "service" to my friend's dad who was battling cancer and he loved dogs. My friend's mom always complimented Zoey on her manners and how smart she was. I now have my pup Rinne, who is a GSD. He is smart and stubborn. He's the one that is going to test me every time I turn around. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. He's a good pup. They were all good pups. Over the years with the dogs that I have had in my life each has brought on a different set of skills needed for them. All dogs are not the same and should never been seen that way they are just like us. I am currently a stay at home mom who is going back to school (online classes). I have a 13-year-old son who is homeschooled through Indiana Connections academy and plays travel hockey. I will say right now that I am open to whenever on the times. However, once we have the schedule for practices and games I will have to change my availability. I will also keep on top of any changes that I need to make to my schedule and alert any client when needed. I will make sure they will have a clean water bowl, no nasty water or film on the bottom of the bowl. I will also take time to play with them if that is what they want. I will love on them if they need the reassurance that they are not alone. I will take them out either on a leash or in a fenced in yard, so they can stretch their legs and smell all the smells. I will also carry on a conversation with them (it's what I do with my own pup a lot.) Also, if you have a feeding schedule I have no problem following that. If they eat wet food I will wash out the bowl before the next feeding.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my family for most of my life! Growing up I learned to take good care of them and love on them. Since high school, I have helped out my neighbors by pet-sitting and house-sitting. I loved getting to visit the pets and make sure they were well cared for. Our pets deserve the best and I want to make that happen! I am a full time college student at WKU, but when I am not in class, I would love to care for your pet! I usually have free time in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I am typically available on weekends. Feel free to reach out and I am happy to be flexible finding a day and time that works for you! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with 3 roommates. They all love animals but will not be too involved with the pets. There are plenty of areas outside for your pet. We have a large living room space and a balcony which is usually closed. Pets are welcome on furniture and they can be in the living room or my bedroom. Currently there are no other animals in our apartment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 97 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Center. 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 Center 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 Center 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.
Tip: 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 Center 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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.
