“Was very friendly and met all my expectations. This was a last minute booking and she was available on a holiday weekend. She was there for both my dogs when we couldn’t be! 5 stars!”
“Alyssa did an excellent job caring for our dogs while I was away. She is very trustworthy, dependable, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I could tell she treated my fur babies as if they were her own, giving them attention, care, and kindness. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. ☺️🫶🏼”
“I just used Rover for the first time and used Kenzie. She came twice for my 2 doodles. I was very happy with my experience. Kenzie was always quick to respond to my messages and sent me pictures of my babies!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am new to the Rover community, but have been caring for animals for neighbors and family for the past 10 years. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as cats! I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to learn and adapt how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them! I am currently working Monday-Thursday and am available for weekday evening walks or weekend drop-ins and house sittings. I am also flexible and can accept last-minute bookings. I’m a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student. This leaves me time to play with your pups around my class schedule and on weekends! I can take care of your animal however you prefer in your home! I can crate if needed and am more than happy to accommodate however you see fit!
“Tyler is someone who really showed she cares about my fur babies as if they were her own. Others have said they kitties hid the whole tome they were there but Tyler sent photos and all my fur babies were interacting with her. Tyler would leave the TV on with the nature Channel for then to watch. She thinks about the little things that add comfort while mom and dad are out of town and helps to keep them company. She kept in contact with me every day. Tyler was the best sitter I have ever had, will be using her going forward.”
“Kayla was amazing. Took care of my little friend while I was away with great communication and very professional. Took all the stress away of missing him!! Thank you so much and hope to work with her again soon :)”
“Madison was absolutely amazing! I had only had Lia for a week and was nervous about leaving her so soon, especially as she was still adjusting to a new environment. But Madison made the whole experience incredibly easy and stress-free. She was communicative, responsive, and sent thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear that Lia was not just well cared for, but genuinely happy spending time with her. I’m so grateful to have found Madison—she’ll definitely be my first call in the future!”
About: I spent a year working at a pet boarding facility called “The Farm At Natchez Trace” in Fairview Tn. I moved out to Evansville for college and I started working at the Vanderburgh Humane Society. I am currently unemployed so I can focus more on college which leaves my schedule open! I also have experience with dog training! I’m currently unemployed and in online college so my schedule is very flexible! I am looking to pet sit/ dog walk/ take care of cats as much as possible! Currently I’m only able to pet sit in a clients home but I am willing to learn how to take care of pets exactly how their owners want and I’m very respectful of other people’s belongings!
“This was our third time using Bailey for our very skittish rescue cat when we have to be gone more than overnight. She has always been punctual, polite, and communicative which I appreciate. He hides when she (or anyone) comes over, but Bailey always takes the time to physically find him at every visit to make sure he's okay. This time was no different. Gulliver was well cared for and we came home to an organized water and food station and clean litter box area.”
“We are repeat customers of Cassie's and we continue to be quite happy with her service. Visits are on time and I know our pup is in good hands when we need the help. I highly recommend Cassie and will continue requesting her services any time we need them.”
About: I am quite comfortable with all sizes of dogs, from small to big. I have a special love for the big guys! I would be comfortable with giving ear or eye medication, but would want to make sure your pet feels safe enough with me to give oral medication. I love to go for walks, and would be thrilled to have your loved one join me! I am a full time nursing student and would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I would be able to stop in to check on your loved one or take them on a walk primarily on the weekends. If you need care during the week, it would be late afternoon/evening when I can be with them. If you need a early morning check in, let me know! I'd be happy to try and work something out with you. Comfortability for you and your pet are my main priority. I would love to meet and learn more about them prior to our first service! This is to ease not only your pet but also make sure I am a good fit for you both. I am happy to hang out at your home and play with their favorite toys and give them their favorite treats.
“Taylor was amazing and took care of our Nnedi while we were out with drop in visits, sending us great updates and pictures. Will definitely go with Taylor again in the future!”
“Great with out furballs as always! I’ve lost track how many times we’ve used her, but we can tell neither dog nor cat felt “abandoned” while we were gone because of her visits and attention”
About: Hi, I’m Jordan. I’m a true animal lover at heart and I’ve owned pets my entire life! In the past 5 years I’ve started caring for other animals in addition to my own. I have cared for all different breeds and sizes. It’s important to me that your fur babies feel safe, loved, and part of our family while in our care. At our house we allow your friends on our furniture and we allow them to sleep with us in our bed. We always include all furry friends in our plans- if we are taking our dogs on a walk, we will ask permission to also bring your pet. If we are taking our dogs on a drive, we will ask for permission for your pet to come with us. If our dogs are getting treats, we will ask permission to also give your friend treats. Etc. We will always do our best to accommodate any of your pets needs. We love walkies, giving treats, cuddles, pup cups, and head pats! We own a home in Newburgh that has a fenced in back yard that we use for lots of supervised playtime! I live with my husband Collin and our two Mini Australian Shepherd’s Atlas and Charli. We truly enjoy the time we are given with your animals! The animals we care for will receive our attention and our love while with us. I have tons of time for your animals! I am a kindergarten teacher’s assistant who has many days off throughout the year including: summer break, spring break, fall break, Christmas break, weekends, and many days off during the year! I also have an extremely flexible schedule for potty breaks, eating schedules, walk times, or possible medical needs. A normal work day in my life would be from 7am-4pm. I am a truly detail oriented person which comes in handy while caring for the safety and happiness of your pet(s) which is always my number one priority! I have a fenced in yard and I have two extremely friendly pups to keep your furry friends company. We allow our animals on all furniture including the bed, which will be no different for your animals. We want your animals to feel as at home as possible. We keep our home environment very clean as well as making sure it is safe. I value communication! I love taking pictures to help pet parents feel more at ease. We can accommodate your animals by sticking to a routine schedule.
“One of our fur babies needs meds twice a day and she really saved us! She’s great with the dogs, checked food and water and kept us in the loop with pictures and texts! Definitely recommend her!”

“Haley is a lifesaver. She cane through for me as a last minute request. My pups were happy to have her play with them. Would use her services again without even thinking twice.”
About: We have had dogs for over 30 years. So we thought why not help out the others!! We love to have the extra feet around. I work from home so I do not venture too far for too long.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Evansville
Evelyn/Evi was great with Chayce, she checked in on her several times. She fed, walked and even brushed her. Our dog is scared of fireworks & when Evi checked on her in the evening when fireworks were being fired off she sat with her & gave her comfort. This is the first time we’ve let someone Chayce didn’t know take care of her & she really took a liking to Evi quickly. We received pictures & videos which were nice, we had no worries with Evi. I would highly recommend her for pet care. We will definitely use her again when we need a dog sitter.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Evansville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Evansville 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Evansville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
