“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”
About: I love all breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs. I’m very active college students who loves animals. I’ve had 2 80lb golden doodles and was a summer dog sitter for 4 years! I am a college student and is available throughout the day during the week or weekends. I can be available for either quick walks or long stays! I love to spend quality time with your pets and I’m happy to take them for either short or long walks or play in the yard. I also am very clean, organized, and respectful of your home!
About: Hi there! I'm Kels; lover of all things furry, but especially dogs. I've had dogs all my life. Grew up in a home that fostered often. I tried fostering once and she never left. 😆 I have 2 doodles of my own. A 9 year old labradoodle and a 4 year old golden doodle. I've dog sat for friends and family for years in their home, my own, or regular drop ins. I promise to give your dog real attention and affection. My furs are my life and I will treat yours with as much care as I treat mine. I love sharing pictures of your pets while you're away to give you peace of mind and hopefully a few smiles. I know that's something I look forward to when I am away from my pups. I work full time from home with a fairly flexible schedule. I can easily modify my break times for walks, potty breaks, and of course snuggles and playtime. When visiting your home I promise to treat it with respect; valuing your property and privacy. My home offers a fenced in front yard for safe potty breaks, but they will always be monitored when they have access to the yard. For those needing more adventure and space there are 12 acres of grass, trees, and lake to play in. We can discuss placing a GPS fence collar on them if they will have time outside the fenced yard. Safety, fun, and affection are the priorities over here.
“Haley was very sweet and personable. She came over for an introductory visit prior to the first drop-in visit. She loved our two Siberian Huskies and they loved her! Haley followed all our requests and did everything letter perfect! We are so grateful for her taking care of our furry family members while we were away for the evening and would love to have her take care of them in the future whenever we are away.”
About: I would love to care for your pet while you're busy at work or relaxing on vacation! With my flexible schedule I am able to give your fur baby as many potty breaks as they need. Pack their favorite toy because we plan to play all day! I fostered dogs for over 6 years before becoming a pet sitter, therefore I have a lot of experience with different breeds, sizes and ages. Small fenced in yard located on the west side near Franklin street, Absolutely can’t wait to get to know and spoil your pet. The goal is for your pet to be a happy, not hangry, camper! I’ll always do my best to keep them on their same feeding and bedtime schedule. Big time safety nut, it’s my number one priority! I will do any and everything to keep your pet safe and comfortable in my home. Will Always use a leash! Or have dogs in completely secure fenced in spaces. Pups will be using about 5 steps to get into the main level of our home which I understand can be an issue for some doggies 🐾 I’ll win your pup over quickly making them feel welcome and right at home! This environment is dog & kid friendly (kids ages 4 & 6)
“Kayla accommodated us at the very last minute. She was very kind, easy to talk to and did very well with our boys with little time to prepare! I would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Tyler was great and super accommodating when we had to change a few of ours plans. She made us feel at ease with it being the first time leaving our babies with a sitter. Would recommend!”

Bringing home every stray as a teen and now working towards opening my very own operation to help house strays and possibly run my own daycare or training service. Everyday i work with dogs. i have lots of experience with all kinds of things with dogs. bathing grooming nail trims , feeding and meds. i have a big fully fenced in backyard with a friendly dog for your pups to make best of friends with. they will enjoy outside time everyday
“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!”
About: I treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of playtime! I understand that every pup has their own personality and needs, and I tailor my care to match. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or sticking to a strict feeding schedule, I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on your dog’s comfort and happiness. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, you can feel confident they’re in safe, loving hands while you’re away. Hi! I’m Kat, a stay-at-home mom and lifelong animal lover with three dogs of my own. 🐾 Being home with my little one gives me a flexible schedule, so pet sitting is a great fit for this season of life! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, whether you’re at work, taking a day trip, or going out of town. My goal is to make things as easy as possible for both you and your pets while keeping them comfortable with their normal routine. I’m happy to help with: • Drop-in visits and potty breaks • Feeding and fresh water • Walks and playtime • Lots of attention, cuddles, and company • Basic medication when instructions are provided • Photo and text updates so you know how your pet is doing • Bringing in packages/mail and other small pet-related tasks while you’re away I’m comfortable with different personalities, from energetic and playful dogs to pets who need a little extra patience and time to warm up. As a pet owner myself, I’ll treat your pets the way I’d want someone to treat mine—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. ❤️🐶 I’m located in the Newburgh/Evansville area and would love to become someone your family can rely on whenever your pets need a little extra care! Your dog will enjoy a secure, fenced-in yard and the companionship of my three friendly dogs. Kennels are available if your pet is accustomed to crate time.

From small dogs to big dogs I feel very confident and working with them
About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Evansville is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 210 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Evansville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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 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.
