About: Active, responsible, and patient animal lover with a flexible schedule and strong attention to detail. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight care, I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and maintaining a structured schedule. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I also value consistency and communication, so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I make sure they are properly fed and hydrated. I like to take them on walks and to also play fetch. Most importantly I give them the attention that they are seeking. I also just make sure that they feel safe in the environment that they’re in. I know that when animals meet new people and they can be a little bit nervous so I try to make sure that they just feel safe and calm.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life from cats and dogs, to horses and cows, even snakes and scorpions! Animals are a passion of mine and there’s not much I love more! I work part time and from home so I have plenty of free time to take care of your four legged babies! I look forward to meeting them:) I will be very respectful of your home and clean up after myself and your babies, whether it be inside, outside or in a kennel, I will follow instructions as directed!
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 recently moved to Dallas to be a nanny, but I don’t start my job until March 15th! I live in a studio apartment on the second floor with my labradoodle/terrier mix (Louie)! He’s super friendly and loves to play! We go to the dog park all the time and occasionally get pup cups! We also love going on walks around my apartment complex or in a nearby park! I’ve watched a few dogs on here and have enjoyed it so much! Availability: M: 8am to 4pm Tue: 8am to 4pm Wed: 8am to 4pm Thrus: 8am to 4pm Fri: 8am to 4pm Sat: 8am to 5pm Sun: Available all day I’m very caring and patient with all dogs! I hope that I can meet your pup soon!! Cheers pal!
“Kenzie did a great job providing in-home care for our 1 year old German Shepherd while we were away for the day. I would recommend her to anyone seeking the same service.”
“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!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and my passion for pet care led me to become a manager at a veterinary clinic, where I’ve worked for the past eight years. I have hands-on experience with all kinds of pets and am skilled in administering both oral and injectable medications. Additionally, I’m certified in Fear Free training and have completed Low Stress Handling certification, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs extra attention, medication, or just some love and playtime, I’m here to provide compassionate and professional care! I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, but I’m available to check on pets before work and after work throughout the week. On weekends, I’m completely free, so I’m available all day Saturday and Sunday to care for your pets! I have a fully fenced-in backyard with a privacy fence, providing a safe and secure environment for your pets. We also have a camera in the backyard that records for added security. Inside, we have one dog, a 9-pound sweetheart who is a bit independent, and four indoor cats who generally keep to themselves. For extra peace of mind, there are cameras inside the home as well, ensuring everything stays secure and safe
“Bryan is a wonderful cat care person. Very communicative, made sure all feeding and care instruction were followed and sensitive to my cats. I returned to calm and happy animals. I would highly recommend Bryan for your animals care.”
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. So lots of attention while mom and dad are gone on a break. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to play. I can crate or cuddle depending on the dogs needs. Will be happy to give meds if needed.
“And it was great! She took care of a dog a cat and a bunny. Everyone was healthy and happy upon our return. She even pointed out other things such as the cloudiness of our pool because the pool service had not shown up. We will book with her again.”
“I have so many great things to say about Alexandra! She went out of her way on short notice to pickup my key from me at the hospital, go take care of my dog, and come back to the hospital to return my key. She did everything I asked with ease and then some - food, water, pee pad, treats, and even played with my dog. My dog has found a new friend and I've found a great person I can depend on when my dog needs something and I cannot be there to do it! I definitely recommend her, as she's kind, friendly, sweet, and more!”
About: Your pets are your family and I can promise your family will definitely be safe and loved in my hands! Although I do not have any experience with special needs pets I do have experience with pets in general and I’ll go above and beyond to make sure your family members are loved and very well taken care of! I have a semi full-time job as a server at a local restaurant, however, overnight and before and after my 3 to 5 hour shifts every other day I’m available. I have a semi fenced in backyard, I can do daytime play dates or exercise and walks. However, at this moment in time, I cannot board overnight in my home. I am able to housesit overnight in your home where your pet would be the most comfortable, I am very reliable and trustworthy and I would treat your home as if it was my own. I am quite flexible and can work with any schedule needed!
“Rachel did wonderful with my dog. We had a change of plans almost last minute and she was able to do the drop in visits with little notice. I appreciate her quick response time and the photos of our puppy. I will definitely hire her again.”
About: I love dogs, and I've been around them since I was born (my "older brother" was a German Shepherd mix). I've fed, walked, played with, and bathed the family dogs since I was little, so it’s hard to quantify my years of experience, but I’ve been on Rover for 3 years. When I’m not spending time with my parents’ dogs, Blue and Koda, it would be awesome to spend time with your pup and bring some joy to you and your pet’s day. I’ve had dozens of clients, mostly from my time in school at IU and grad school in Virginia, and they each enjoyed having me look after their pets. Many have asked me to watch or walk them again. I’ve watched big and small dogs, old and young, lazy and energetic, and I take special care of pets with anxiety. While I'm not as passionate about cats, I think they're pretty cool and I don't think I've ever met one that didn't like me! I love playing with younger kitties and taking naps with older cats, and I helped my grandma take care of a stray kitty named Wesley, who was recently adopted :) As a recent grad, I’ll spend much of my time networking and job hunting, but I always make time for the animals I’m watching. I sit at a desk most of the day so taking your dog(s) on a walk is a welcome break to stretch my legs! While you’re away, I try to keep your pet(s) on their regular schedule when it comes to things such as waking up, eating, treats, playtime, walks, potty, and bedtime. When I take your pet out on a potty break, I don't just take them out for a minute to do their business. I make sure to play with them and give them lots of pets, because I know how much they need some attention when their human is away. When it comes to house sitting, I’ll happily complete daily tasks as requested, such as watering plants, taking out trash/recycling, and taking in the mail/packages.
About: I’ve always grown up around animals in our home and have been helping to care for them since I can remember. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and family! I am a college student and decided to be a Rover sitter in my free time because of my love for animals! Check my Rover calendar for up to date availability. I can work with your pets based off of how you run your home. I am able to customize the experience for each pet to make them the most comfortable!
“Great visits! Both of my pups were taking care of and giving as much love & play time as their spoiled butt’s wanted! Both pups, one with high anxiety, looked forward to her visits & felt comfortable and happy!”

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.
