“Bethany was SO GREAT with our dog and two cats! It was our first time leaving them for more than a day, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She played with them regularly and sent cute picture updates. Our home was also very well taken care of and looked great upon our return. You would be doing yourself a favor if you snagged Bethany next time you need a pet sitter!”
“Heather was great with our special needs baby! She sent lots of pictures and updates and left our home in the same condition it was when we left. Super friendly! I would definitely trust her again with my babies!”
“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!”
“Brandi couldn't have been more perfect for our dogs. I have a couple of EXUBERANT boxers. Not the easiest of dogs to handle. Brandi was a pro! She left our home so nice to come home to and the dogs were so well loved and taken care of. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone, esp if you need an experienced provider.”
About: As a pet parent of 15 years, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets. I’ll treat your fur babies with the same love, patience and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring hands. I’m currently a homeschooling Dad so my schedule is flexible which allows me to make sure your pets get the care and companionship they need. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable. I’ll give them plenty of attention while also respecting their personality and boundaries. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I do my own and I’m happy to send photos and updates
“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.”
“Emily was an amazing sitter for our dog. Her communication was very good throughout the entire process. Our dog was very happy during the time that Emily took care of him. I would highly recommend Emily as sitter for anyone needing someone trustworthy and dependable. I will definitely be using Emily anytime she is available.”
About: Hi, I'm Nolan! I'm 32 years old and I just moved back to Newburgh after living in Colorado for 10 years. My home sits on a corner lot and features a large, fully fenced backyard, providing plenty of safe space for dogs to play, exercise, and explore. I've been an animal lover my entire life. Growing up in southern Indiana, I gained hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, fish, turtles, hamsters, hermit crabs, and even sea monkeys. Needless to say, animals have always been a big part of my life. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs: Leo, my 6-year-old Labradoodle, and an energetic 1-year-old Aussie Goldendoodle. Leo is incredibly friendly, well-mannered, and obedient. After completing Level II obedience training, he went on to become a certified service dog. Beyond owning pets, I have years of experience training and working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, positive reinforcement, and providing a structured environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. When caring for your pet, I treat them like family. Whether your dog enjoys being active or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I also believe in maintaining open communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Why Choose Me? ✔ Large, secure fenced yard for supervised playtime ✔ Lifetime of experience caring for animals ✔ Experience with dog training and obedience work ✔ Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ✔ Reliable communication and photo updates - Daily ✔ Friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new friends ✔ Safe, loving, family-style environment I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home full time. If I am away from home I can accommodate potty breaks as needed. I am open to taking care of any type of dog. I can easily feel out what a dog needs and can tailor to any accommodations that are preferred. I will make sure your animal is treated as you would want it to be treated! If i'm being honest, I like animals more than humans! Our fur baby gets walked daily and sometimes twice daily depending on personal schedule. My dogs favorite is when the weather is nice enough that I can take a ride with me on the E-bike I live on a corner lot that has a large fenced in backyard with shaded areas and sunny grassy areas! Inside the cozy home the animals are welcome to sleep in doggy beds that are in the bedroom, spare/office room and one in the living room. Like I said before, I love animals more than humans and they are welcome to the couch if they are allowed to do so at home! I have had multiple pets that I have crate trained and if your dog is currently being crate trained I have a large crate to accommodate. My fence also has holes cut out for the dogs to poke their heads outside the fence at all the action going on out front! If anyone would like to schedule a tour/meet and greet please let me know. You are more than welcome to come introduce yourself and your animal prior to booking or dropping off! * I do ask that all the fur babies be up to date on vaccines. I have my pup updated on all vaccines and want the best for yours and mine!*
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.
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 absolutely love animals, dogs are probably my favorite. I’m also a mother to two special needs children who are non verbal so really good on picking up mannerisms of pets I’m a painter, so I make my own hours. I can work around my schedule to accommodate you furry friends. I love to walk every day and love animals I’m a painter, so I’m in peoples houses all day, so very trustworthy. Love to stay busy and miss playing with furry friends
About: Since I got my first pet at age 5 (a cat), I have been about them the rest of my life!! I love all animals, especially cats and dogs, and I treat them like they are family with lots of playtime and snuggles! I work from home part-time for an Ai company so pet sitting supplements my income and I absolutely love it! I seem to befriend animals more more people but people are cool too! ;) I am up to date on many safety skills and hazards around animals, like what to do when they are hurt or what foods to keep away from them! I make sure I'm always keeping them safe and following the owners complete instructions. I also always clean up their messes while I am there and anything that needs cleaned up upon arrival will also be taken care of. For dogs, I can also do baths and brushing, walking, hiking, etc.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 103 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eureka. 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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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.
