About: Hello! As a teacher here in Evansville, patience, routine, and a high level of care are at the very heart of what I do every day. Working with little ones has made me incredibly detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and highly adaptable—qualities that I bring directly to caring for your beloved fur babies! I am also the proud owner of a German Shepherd, so I am very comfortable with large, intelligent, and high-energy breeds. Whether your dog needs an energetic late-afternoon walk to burn off some energy, or your pets need a dedicated evening drop-in visit for dinner, playtime, and a potty break, I am here to help. I am a true animal lover who treats every pet with the exact same kindness, respect, and attention I would give my own. Because I live and work right here on the West Side, I limit my travel radius strictly to our local neighborhoods. This ensures that I am always prompt, reliable, and can easily accommodate your pet's specific evening routines without delay. I can't wait to meet your four-legged family members and give you complete peace of mind while you are away! My schedule and times are down below for the summer and for when the school year begins. When August comes, I'll be teaching so I'll only be able after 5:00pm. As a full-time educator, I thrive on consistency and structure, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I naturally maintain a very active lifestyle and love getting my steps in every day, so afternoon walks and drop-in visits are a perfect transition for me at the end of the school day. ⬇️Current Schedule⬇️ *Availability for dog walking and drop-in's:* Tuesdays 5:30pm - 8:30pm Wednesdays 8:00am - 1:00pm Thursdays 8:00am - 3:00pm ⚪Schedule (Start's in August)⚪ Monday 5:30pm - 8:30pm Tuesday 5:30pm - 8:30pm Wednesday 5:30pm - 8:30pm Thursday 5:30pm - 8:00pm *I also may be able some weekends, those days will reflect on my calendar you can view. Because I exclusively offer dog walking and drop-in visits, my focus is entirely on providing premium, attentive care within the comfort and safety of your own home and neighborhood.
About: I have many years of experience working with all kinds of animals. Including cats, dogs, and horses I was raised around animals and have also trained some animals. I am happy to train yours, including basic training like sit, stay, and down! I’m currently a full-time student, but I have flexibility day-to-day. I a part-time job but once school is over, I will have more free time during the day. I mostly just offer drop in visits and dog walking, but I am a patient caregiver who loves spending time outside and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies
About: I've had everything from puppies to senior dogs, cats, fish, hedghogs and even a ball python. I've trained my own pets, and cared for many pets of my friends and family. I am currently a stay at home parent who's kids have gone off to school so I have lots of day time to walk and care for your pets. I will feed any pets, I can do clean up (litter boxes or any accidents) and there will always be play time. We can do walks or if your yard is fenced we can take playtime outside. My own dog requires medications and daily grooming so I am very comfortable doing all of those essential chores. I am looking forward to caring for your pets
About: Since I could remember I have taken care of animals for my family and friends and I could not ask for a better job. I have experience working at a dog daycare and caring for pups there as well as some training experience with young puppies. Currently working as a pharmacy tech while looking for a full-time accounting job. I would love to take care of your pups in my spare time. Right now my schedule is flexible and depends on my pharmacy schedule. Hoping to have a more set schedule soon! I have such a love for caring for any kind of animal and will try my best to help care for yours! I have a mini dachshund of my own named Finnick who is just the best. I got him as a graduation gift and raised him since I was able to, he is my pride and joy!
“Kenzie was incredible with our dog Kash! We got great updates every visit and she went above and beyond to make sure he was eating his food (which he typically doesn't do when we are out of town). Thankful she was able to watch our pup and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“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. ☺️🫶🏼”
“We did an overnight away, and Irelane let our dogs out for us and did a great job. She communicated well, and did all that we asked her to do. When we got home, it was apparent that our dogs had been well cared for!”
“Everything went very well! I think the 2 dogs and cat missed her visit the few days after we returned. 🤣😂 Grace will be caring the our pets again in the near future and I have no reservations and I know all 3 of our pets will enjoy her living care!”
“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!”

I currently work 8 to 5 every day during the week except for Thursdays I work 8 to 12 I am available on nights and weekends. I have a fenced in yard, but I prefer to watch dogs at their owners houses rather than mine because it is easier on the animals.

Pet 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.
This was the first time I hired anyone from Rover to sit for my cats. I usually had a friend check in on them while I was away. But I needed someone who could give injections to my cat Fred, who turned diabetic.Amber did a great job. She had no issues giving Fred his insulin. And Brownie, who would be MIA when visitors come, actually came out of hiding a little bit, so I was glad. I will keep her on my list for future jobs. Good job Amber.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Evansville on Rover is $19.43 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 206 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Evansville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 100% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
