“Sarah was absolutely fantastic, and we would not hesitate to book with her again. From the very beginning, she responded quickly, professionally, and most importantly, was actually available when we needed her, even on relatively short notice. We had contacted several other sitters whose calendars showed availability, only to find out they weren't actually available, so Sarah's prompt communication was greatly appreciated. While we were away, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. This was especially important because our cat had only recently been adopted from the shelter, and we had to leave town unexpectedly. As new cat owners, we were naturally worried about how she would adjust, but Sarah took wonderful care of her and kept us informed every step of the way. Sarah also treated our home with incredible care and respect. She stayed overnight with our cat and left everything in immaculate condition. She even washed the sheets and towels before leaving, which was completely unnecessary but very much appreciated. It's rare to find someone who is so reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and attentive. We came home to a happy cat and a spotless house, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Jessah was absolutely amazing! She was able To watch our cat and dog on short notice and did a great job of letting us know how the fur babies were doing and getting along. Would totally recommend her if you need your babies taken care of!”
“Vickie did amazing with our 4 dogs! One being a puppy new to our home who isn't potty trained. The dogs seems to love her and adjusted well with her overnight. She sent us updates and pictures. We appreciate everything she did for us and our fur babies! Will definitely book her again!”
About: I've had a dog of my own since I was a child, raising them as puppies and caring for them in their senior years. Since I was 12 or so, I started taking care of neighbors and family friends pets as well. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with them, I'll feed them on schedule and give them any medications required. I just moved to Casper, and have yet to find employment here, so I have very open availability. I will block out the days on my calendar that I can't do anything, but that will not be frequent! I'm great at following directions, will feed your animals on time and will carefully give them whatever medication required. I can either drop in to check on them multiple times a day, or stay at the house they reside in for however long is needed. I'll play with them, take the dogs on walks, and do my best to make sure they are as happy as can be while their pet parents are away.
About: I've been a dog and cat owner all of my life. I understand the need for playtime, potty breaks, and companionship; especially while you are away. I'd like to be someone you can trust to take care of your multi-legged family. I've recently taken up sitting for others outside of my immediate circle and I will admit that the most experience I have with medication is putting pills in cheese. I know it takes patience and kindness to take care of your old friends and your brand new ones. I'm not one to shy away from messes either from accidents, yards, and kennels. I do work full time on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays so I won't be available on those days. Sunday through Wednesday will be whatever you require. Early morning walks? Done. Mid Afternoon potty breaks? Got it! Evening feedings? No problem. Your routine is my routine. Pets are family and their rules are my rules. They are like children and have set routines and I will follow what you currently have in place. I currently don't have the option to host your pets where I am currently living, I do hope to offer that in the near future.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies for friends and neighbors for over 10 years. Several years professional dog walking. Feeding, nail clipping, walking, and running. For potential pet boardings-there is one set of stairs leading up to my condo. 3 cats and a dog in my home. My day to day consists of feeding, play time, snuggles and walks around the park that are heavily training oriented. I am currently available for house sitting in my home. Pet snuggles, playtime and walks and even runs if the pup is up for it.
About: I've been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little kid. From little hamsters all the way to horses. I understand that you want your pets to be loved and cared for as much as you do for them. I'm currently just going to college so I have a lot of time to give your pets the attention they need. Just let me know what you need! I'm a huge animal lover, so I will make sure that your animals are safe and cared for. I will give them all the attention and love they want!
“Makayla did everything she was supposed to do and then some. My dog Mikka enjoyed Makala's company and they got along splendidly. I would definitely recommend Makayla and hopefully will have an opportunity to rebook her in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of all animals since I was 9. I worked at a dog daycare with my family. I also took care of them and gave them baths and played with them my family was glad I helped animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Evansville on Rover is $44.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 35 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Evansville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
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.
