About: I grew up on a horse farm. I always had dogs for most of my life . Except when I lived in an apartment for a short time where I could not have one. My sister and I use to have fake dog shows as kids. It was so much fun. Now I have 2 loveable doggies of my own that i adopted . They love our fenced in backyard and my daughter and I walk them every day as a team.When Taylor was a toddler we would go out and visit grandma and aunt / sister and give chino her dog lots of love and walks. Also in the last 5 years my late moms dog rosie who was also adopted. Dogs are great.
About: I have two dogs myself and I fully trained one of them myself, plus I have experience with senior dogs and smaller dogs as well. I’m a dog lover through and through! I have a part time job but I am available throughout the week to drop in and either let your pups out/play with them, or to give them needed exercise! I’m also a student so afternoon/evening or AM works best for my schedule. I am open to interacting with your dog(s) based on what they need and are used to. I can easily let them run around in a fenced in area or crate them when I leave if need be. I am very comfortable walking dogs outdoors or just playing with them inside if preferred.
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our 8 month old lab pup LOVED to hang out with her. She took the best pictures during the visit which was always a joy to look at. She also asked so many great questions to get to know our puppy better and was on time/great at communication with every visit. So grateful for her help💗🌸☺️”
About: Hello! I’m an experienced in-home service specialist, specializing in, but not limited to, pet care! I’ve gained experience through having cared for my own pets for the last 15 years and professionally pet sat for the last 3 years. I have experience caring for special needs pets, administering medication, large breeds, as well as farm animals. I am excited to bring a nurturing and fun environment for your pets in your absence! I’m available for daytime care every day and offer a flexible schedule. Overnight care can be accommodated on a case-by-case basis, and I’m always happy to talk through details to see what works best for everyone! I value your animals comfort and safety above all else. I am conscientious, caring, and compassionate in everything that I do with your pets. I strive to create a comfortable environment for them at every turn.
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and caring for them. I have experience with dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and spending time playing and keeping them comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or more shy and relaxed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. With my background as a former dog groomer and long-term experience in the pet industry, I’m very comfortable caring for animals and enjoy making them feel safe, calm, and cared for. I care for pets by following their normal routine closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort, and I’m experienced in handling different temperaments from my time working in boarding facilities and pet care. My goal is to make pets feel safe and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I grew up on a farm, which is pretty much where my animal obsession began! I was surrounded by cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs — basically if it had fur, feathers, or hooves, I probably helped take care of it. Growing up around so many different animals taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own unique personality. Ever since then, animals have just naturally been a huge part of my life! I’m a full-time nurse with a flexible schedule, since I only work 3–4 days a week. That means I have plenty of time, energy, and attention to dedicate to your furry friends! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I accommodate to every pets needs! I have crates, I do structured playtime and go on long walks to exert energy. I also have a friendly dogs who would love to keep your pet company.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, starting with in-home dog sitting as a teenager and continuing ever since. I have extensive experience with larger breeds, including German Shepherds and other high-energy dogs, and I’m very comfortable handling strong, active personalities. I’m also a Malinois owner, so I understand the level of structure, exercise, and attention that working breeds need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just consistent, reliable care, I’m someone you can trust to treat them like my own. In addition to dogs, I’ve also provided in-home care for cats and am comfortable with a variety of temperaments and needs. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am a part-tome firefighter/paramedic and have a fairly flexible schedule. I typically end up having a lot of days free especially this summer. Reach out with your needs and we can see what we can work out! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for your pets. As a firefighter/paramedic, I’m trained to stay calm, aware, and handle unexpected situations quickly and responsibly. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to behavior changes and make sure your pet is always secure on walks and in the home. I’m experienced with large and high-energy dogs, so I’m confident handling strong or reactive dogs safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you updated so you always feel comfortable and informed while you’re away.
“Laura is definitely the sitter you need if your pets have medical issues. She is able to give my one cat his pills and the other cat, an insulin shot. She also sends very cute pictures which gives you a peace of mind that they are in good hands.”
“Our first time using Rover and we can’t say enough good things about Eric & Christine. They took such good care of our puppy! We are new to the area and we were hesitant to try Rover but Eric & Christine quickly eased our fears with consistent updates & photos. We certainly appreciate all the love & care they provided our young pup! Thanks again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have a bloodhound who requires our constant attention so we are very experienced in making sure his needs are met including getting his exercise and getting his mental stimulation in. I am well experienced on being aware of how to keep our animals safe in hot/cold weather. I also had a 15 year old golden retriever so I am experienced in modififying walks, sleeping set ups, and transportation that best support our older dogs. I have a wagon that I no longer gets used after losing our golden so I would love to help your senior dogs enjoy life still. We have multiple rooms where your dog can feel at home as well as a tempurpedic dog bed they can use. I love going on hikes, swimming, to the boneyard and to the dog park!! I currently work full time but my schedule is pretty flexible in the afternoons and morning times to drop off. I work on the east side but live in Fitchburg so I could make stops on both sides of town. I have no obligations on the weekend other than hanging out with my dog cooper. I live in a house not fenced but we have a lead for the back yard and walking trails. I have three bedrooms with plenty of space for your dog. I will never leave your dog alone more than 4 hours.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Also I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I love all animals! I'm not scared of much either! I currently work part time. So I'm pretty open. Tuesdays and every other Sunday I'm available afternoon. That could potentially change if more work comes in. I care for my pets by taking them to the dog park twice a week making sure they have food and water. Also making sure they are utd on their shots. For taking care of your pet tho that would go off of how you would want me to take care of your animals. You are the owner. I'm just there to help you out and take care of your animals.
“Hayley is amazing! I recommend her wholeheartedly. She takes amazing care of my cats, and they are happy to see her every time she comes! I even confused the dates when I booked her, and she was still able to come and help me out on a day I hadn't included. She's wonderful!!”

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Evansville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
