“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!”
“Alaina does an excellent job taking care of our dog and our home while we are away. She is very communicative complete with pictures and updates. We couldn’t be more thrilled with her. She’s very conscientious and kind.”
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: I have watched all kinds of breeds of dogs for about 7 years now for friends and family when they go out of town or on vacation. I currently work 7:30 to 4 during the week and work from home, I am available after work during the week, and on nights and weekends. I prefer to watch dogs at their owners houses rather than mine because it is easier on the animals to be in their own environment.
“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.”
About: I absolutely love animals, more than people. If a dog doesn’t trust you, I don’t either. My animals are my children and I don’t care what you think. ❤️ I am flexible with my work schedule and can leave midday to let your furbaby outside and also stop by before and after work, plus weekends I’m available any time! I take care of my animals better than I take care of myself. My animals are well taken care of and always will be. My animals eat before I do. My animals love walks, playing for hours and enjoy being tucked into bed each night.
“Haley did a fantastic job watching our golden retriever, Chief! Sent us updates and pictures while we were away And made sure she spent extra time with him and That he got sufficient activity.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Evansville is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Evansville
Wow! We are 100% satisfied and incredibly grateful for Ellie! She is truly a dog whisperer! We have three dogs, including a recent rescue from animal control who needs a little extra patience, understanding, and love. Ellie’s calm, gentle demeanor was absolutely perfect. All three of our dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her right away! She kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We never had a doubt that our three fur babies were in the best hands. Honestly, we want to adopt Ellie now! 😂 She is amazing, a true lifesaver, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We are so thankful we found her and will absolutely book her again. Highly, highly recommend!
Evelyn and her sister were great! Even when my big boy was not acting like himself. We worked together to make it better. My babies received alot of cuddles and attention. Even was able to sleep in the bed. My dogs are used to alot of attention and that is what I wanted for them when I was away. I'm glad I found someone who loves big dogs!! Evelyn also cleaned up the house before I got home. That was a great treat for me after a long drive home. I appreciate all the photos and videos I received of my babies as I miss them alot when I'm away. I would definitely recommend them both!
Savannah was so great with my puppers. I have one with incontinence issues, one who is getting dementia, and a sassy chihuahua who can be a drama queen. Savannah took excellent care of them and my home, and was great about sending me pictures and keeping me updated. I will definitely book her again!
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.
Lexi did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs and a friends dog while we attended a wedding!! She was communicative, confident and did a great job with making sure they were each cared for in their own way. Would definitely recommend and use again!! Thank you!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Evansville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Evansville is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $68 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 90 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Evansville. 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 Evansville 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 Evansville 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 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!
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.

- 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.
