“Evelyn was super friendly and respectful, on time, followed directions, and did a great job taking care of Ruby! Ruby is looking forward to her next visit with Evelyn on July 4th! 😁”
“I will continue to use Meagan as often as I can. She’s wonderful with my quirky dogs and she’s wonderfully responsive. I couldn’t ask for a better stranger to stay in my home with my pets!”
“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!”
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.
“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 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!
“Haley was the best! We met before for leaving for our trip and our dog, Sawyer, loved her right away. We were so nervous to leave him for an entire week, but knowing he was with Haley made us so much more comfortable! She sent lots of photos and checked in every day to let us know how he was doing. We can’t thank her enough! ??”
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!*

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Evansville
We had such a great experience with Heidi! She took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away on vacation and kept in contact with us throughout the week with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a house that was taken great care of as well. We truly appreciate everything she did and would absolutely recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We would definitely book with her again! 🐾💕
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!!
We had a weekend trip planned and didn't know what we were going to do about our pets. I'm so glad my wife found Rover and through them, Meagan. Meagan is absolutely wonderful and our dog and 3 cats were very well cared for. I'm so glad she stayed in our home and she did an excellent job. We will definitely schedule with her again. We couldn't ask for a better person. She's A+++++ Our animals love her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
