“We left our little dog here for a week while we went to Puerto Rico and it was an excellent experience. Our dog came home healthy and happy and the caregiver was easy to work with and made drop off and pick up easy. We will be using her again!”
“Lark was very welcoming to our pup for her first stay with them over the holidays. She came home exhausted and looked like she had tons of fun during her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Pamela was absolutely wonderful. She kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how much fun our dog was having. It was clear from every update that our dog was happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.”
“Communications were great! We had an initial meet and greet at a nearby park. Kona only stayed one night but Bianca sent several updates with photos. Our girl looked happy and content.”
“There is so much to say. Christina, her husband and kids were INCREDIBLE with our dog. We decided to book last minute as opposed to a boarding place and we couldn’t have been more happy! Christina sent us updates with images of our dog happy as can be! She was super professional and kind and I cannot recommend her enough. Very grateful and if given the opportunity again would love for her to watch our dog!”
“Megan watched my dog Bentley over the 4th of July weekend for the first time. She was flexible and responsive even though my booking was short notice. She stayed in communication during his stay and sent me picture and video updates while he was with her. Bentley enjoyed his time with her and her dog Bear. I would definitely book her again.”
“She is amazing! Lots of detailed updates and pictures while we were away. He was very well taken care of and loved every minute of his stay! We will definitely be returning 😃”
“It was our 1st time leaving our fur baby overnight & we are so glad it was with Ashlee! She gave him her undivided attention all weekend & sent us several updates. He came home exhausted but happy from his weekend of playtime!”

“Kindell was amazing. We were out of state for two weeks and she cared for our boy as if he were her own. He went on field trips with his new friends and Kindell sent us pictures to keep us updated on how our boy was doing. We'll definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: I have 15 years of experience watching all breeds of dogs. I'm reliable, punctual, and can pay close attention to any details you may have. I have many clients and references. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I will have plenty of time to care for your babies. I treat your pets just like my own. I look forward to meeting you!

About: I’ve been petsitting through Rover and for friends/family for a long time! I’ve handled puppies/kittens, low and high maintenance animals, different types of living situations, and more! I am a volunteer at Best Friends Animal Society, and I’ve grown up around pets my entire life. Currently, I run a nonprofit that keeps me Wednesday-Sunday from 12-6, but I can always go and check on a pet if needed during that time! In my home, I am very open to just about anything the pet wants to do, such as laying with me in bed, going on drives, etc., and I always check with people before sitting to make sure I respect the rules they have for their pets.
About: While I'm just beginning my pet-sitting journey, my love for animals is what inspired me to get started! ❤️ I understand that every cat and dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I'm committed to learning each pet's individual needs and following their owner's instructions carefully. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I'll approach every visit with patience, kindness, and care. I'm excited to build lasting relationships with pets and their families while creating happy, positive experiences along the way! I’m available Monday through Friday in the evenings after 5 pm and have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays! 💕 Whether your fur baby needs some extra love, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you're away, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I’ll always make sure your kitty feels safe, comfortable, and cared for! When caring for pets in your home, I'll respect your space and follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime based on their personality and comfort level. For pets staying in my home, my goal is to provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. Since I have a cat of my own, I'll be mindful of each pet's temperament and make sure any introductions are handled slowly and safely, with separate spaces when needed.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs for all of my life until very recently! I’ve cared for a senior dog, a service dog, and an active german shepherd / labrador mix who can walk for hours!!! I am genuinely always looking to hang out and care for other’s dogs as I know how much MY dogs love attention, love, and care :) My apartment is a one bedroom apartment but I have boarded other dogs there before, my home is their home!!! As long as you are comfortable, we can play at the park and go for as many walks as the dog cares to! (Natural home, no crazy toxins that’ll harm sweet dogs!) I am an avid volunteer and 16 hour student but my schedule is Tu&Thrusday for school; which leaves more than enough time for your sweet dogs! Even on those days, I am usually home around 6PM or even sooner! Single bedroom apartment, reliable car, CLEAN home! For my family it is important for our dogs to be in a calm, relaxing, and nurturing environment that encourages play. Now that I live on my own, my apartment is exactly that!!!! If there are any preferences for your dogs, let me know so I can make them feel at home! (Perks of me living alone : they can roam the entire apartment, dogs get dibs to lay on ALL the soft furniture, and no extra people that YOU don’t approve to be around your dog!)
“Olivia took amazing care of our dog, Max, while we were in town visiting our kids at college. She sent multiple photos and videos each day, as well as texted and kept us updated on how he was doing. She gave us such peace-of-mind knowing he was being cared for and loved on so well. Olivia is amazing - trust her for your pet-sitting needs next time you’re in Fayetteville!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Evansville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Evansville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Evansville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Evansville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Evansville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
