House Sitting in Evansville

“Stephanie was fantastic!! I was a little apprehensive to leave my home and fur babies with someone I’d found online but Stephanie was amazing with them. I got lots of pictures and updates on how they were doing which really helped me relax and enjoy my trip. When I got home my house was cleaner than I left it! It was a wonderful experience and I will be booking Stephanie for all my future trips!!”

“Makayla is passionate about animals and committed to provide quality care to our beloved pets. Her experience at boarding facilities, working with numerous age ranges and breeds of dogs made it easy to trust her with the safekeeping of our pets while out of town. We love receiving updates and pictures of our precious cat while we are away and it is reassuring to know that he is being looked after by someone who we can trust.”

“Coni is awesome! She took excellent care of my little Bella and went above and beyond to make her comfortable. I will definitely use her again!”

“Brooklynn is great with dogs, having two own that are well taken care of and spoiled rotten. Her mellow personality makes her the perfect fit for your fur babies.”

“Thank you very much. Great experience and the boys seem to really like you. Thank you for doing this at the last minute.”

“Madison is beyond fantastic! Great communication; we had consistent updates and always felt confident Charlie was in great hands. Of course, Charlie loves her! Exercise and snuggles! What else could a vizsla ask for? Madison is also superb with all the responsibilities thrown her way. We can’t say enough glowing things!”

About: I grew up on a cattle ranch and have spent my whole entire wonderful life with dogs. I wouldn't have had it any other way. I work a variable part time schedule and can work in just about anything, especially for pets. They are much more fun to see anyway. I will care for pets in a client's home exactly as they would. Whatever they want done is exactly what I will do, no exceptions.

About: Long time bird, dog, cat and caged animal mom. Our elderly dog passed away a few years ago and would love to spend some time playing with, and doting on your animal family members:) I’m home most days with flexibility to care for your pet. I can help with pet medication’s, pet schedules and exercise. I can also meet your pet family in advance so they are comfortable with my care. I have a fenced yard, plenty of space for pets. I have some parakeets in a separate room, otherwise no other animals in the home.

“Simply put, Nicole was wonderful! She came out the day before we left to learn everything and she did a marvelous job! She sent photos of our girls throughout the day and checked in with us when needed. We had no worries leaving her with our pets and home (she did in-home boarding for us). We highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again when we head out of town!”

“My original dog sitter cancelled last minute (9 pm the night before we left). I found Rover.com, and it was a lifesaver! She was able and willing to meet my 3 dogs before I booked, and all 3 of them loved her from the start. She took great care of my dogs, and gave them lots of attention. My 18 month old pup gets very anxious when left alone, and will destroy my house, but he did so well . She stayed overnight, was clean and respectful.”

“Took really good care of our dog!”

“I had an emergency trip last year where I had to be out for more than 2 weeks and couldn't take my dog with me, so Carla very kindly offered to pet-sit to help me out and my dog stayed with her the whole time. She would send me updates of my dog's day and well-being. After that, I would cosider her the perfect person to handle other people's dog's (and other pets).”

“Isaiah did a great job! Trex was well taken care of.”

About: Hello! I’m Kai, a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker with over 10 years of experience working with animals. As a veterinary assistant, I’ve gained invaluable knowledge in animal care, first aid, and behavior, allowing me to provide the best care for your furry friends while you’re away. Whether it's a daily walk, overnight stay, or special care for pets with medical needs, I’m committed to making sure your pets are comfortable, safe, and happy. My background in animal health means I’m well-equipped to handle any situation, from administering medications to providing extra TLC for senior pets or those with special needs. I understand that your pets are part of your family, and I treat them with the same love and attention as I would my own. I look forward to getting to know your pets and giving you peace of mind when you need it most! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I’m currently working a full time job as a veterinary assistant, Tuesday through Friday 2pm-12am, I am currently available in the mornings those days and am available Saturday thru Monday all day. 1. Initial Consultation Meet and Greet: Before starting, meet with the pet owner to gather important information about their pet's routines, preferences, health, and any special needs. This can include feeding schedules, favorite activities, medical conditions, allergies, or behavioral quirks. Key Information: Get a copy of the pet’s emergency contacts, veterinarian information, and any instructions for emergencies or routine care. 2. Daily Care as a Pet Sitter Feeding: Follow the owner's instructions regarding the type of food, quantity, and timing. Ensure fresh water is always available. Exercise and Playtime: Provide mental and physical stimulation through walks, play sessions, or enrichment activities. This is especially important for pets like dogs who need daily exercise. Litter Box or Cleanup: For cats or small pets, scoop the litter box daily. For other animals, clean up any messes as needed. Administering Medication: If the pet requires medication, ensure it is given as prescribed, whether orally, topically, or through injections. General Supervision: Monitor the pet’s behavior, health, and comfort level. If you notice anything unusual (e.g., lack of appetite, unusual behavior), report it to the owner or take the pet to the vet if necessary. 3. Daily Care as a Pet Walker Safety First: Before walking a pet, make sure their collar is on properly, and they’re securely leashed. Always be mindful of the environment and other animals, as some pets may be nervous or aggressive. Walk Duration and Frequency: Depending on the pet’s size, breed, and energy level, walks can range from 15 to 45 minutes. Ensure the walk is paced to suit the pet’s needs. Hydration: Bring water for the pet, especially during longer walks or on hot days, to ensure they stay hydrated. Pick Up After the Pet: Always bring bags to pick up waste during walks to maintain cleanliness and respect public spaces. Behavior Monitoring: Pay attention to any signs of distress, fatigue, or discomfort (e.g., excessive panting, limping). If the pet seems tired, take breaks or cut the walk short. 4. Pet Comfort Rest and Relaxation: Ensure the pet has a quiet, safe space to rest and sleep. If the pet is used to certain bedding or toys, make sure they’re available. Affection and Companionship: Provide affection and attention according to the pet’s personality. Some pets may crave cuddles, while others may prefer solitude. Keeping the Environment Safe: Make sure the pet is kept indoors or within a secure outdoor area. Avoid leaving doors or gates open, and supervise pets during play or exploration. 5. Communication with the Owner Regular Updates: Send the pet owner daily updates about how their pet is doing, including feeding times, activities, and any concerns you may have. Photo or Video: Sending photos or videos of the pet enjoying their walk or playtime can be reassuring for the owner. Report Concerns: If the pet exhibits any signs of illness or discomfort, inform the owner immediately. For emergencies, take the pet to a vet and contact the owner as soon as possible. 6. Other Responsibilities Administering Special Needs: If the pet has special needs, such as behavioral training or medical attention, follow the owner’s instructions closely. Housekeeping: If you're staying in the pet's home as a sitter, you may also need to perform light housekeeping, such as picking up after the pet, tidying up, or watering plants as requested. Being a good pet sitter and walker involves building trust, showing responsibility, and being attentive to each pet's unique needs and preferences. Consistency, safety, and communication are key to providing the best care possible.

About: I am a life long pet lover and owner. I grew up on a ranch so I am familiar with all kinds of animals in all life stages. I am currently in a dog training program and look forward leaning more and becoming a better dog owner and lover. I currently work part time and would be available in the evenings and on weekends. I can also let pups out on lunch breaks during the day. I have lots of property for your dogs to run around and a fenced area if they are prone to running off. I have a loving dog to keep them company and a crate if needed. At your home I will keep them company and take them out for potty breaks every couple of hours along with a few walks depending on the duration of my stay.

About: I've always had dogs and try to rescue any stray animal. I could be the crazy dog grandma:) I have 3 dogs of my own and a precious granddog who loves to play with new friends. I am a pediatric nurse and work nights so my day schedule is pretty open. My shifts vary but allow me to be very flexible. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I can walk, play, love and spoil them. Leaving our fur babies is never easy, I will do everything I can to make them comfortable and safe.
