“Emily was amazing! She took the time to meet with Lilo and discuss her needs prior to watching her. She took great care of Lilo, providing thorough updates and photos for each visit. Really gave me a lot of peace of mind. Would 100% recommend Emily!”
“Nicole did a wonderful job with our dog Rocco and I’m so grateful! She went above and beyond to bring him a treat, dry him off after the rain, and spend time with him playing and hanging out with him each visit. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Lori did a fantastic job of dropping in twice, and taking care taking of my fourteen year old Corgi, Poppy. Lori went above and beyond and Poppy loved her. Thank you so much for making my first time with Rover A+ experience.”
“Makayla was great. Sent me pictures and showed up as scheduled. First time I’ve used rover. She responded quickly. Definitely will use her again. She cared for my cats even though they were skittish she did try to friend them. Means a lot to me knowing I have found someone reliable”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 17 years and have had the wonderful opportunity of offering care to senior dogs and puppies alike. We have cared for pups long enough to know that a happy home, attention and playtime is what most dogs want. However we do offer more relaxed experience for our senior pups with just the same amount of love and care. I currently work from home full time with flexibility, I have the ability to take care of your fur baby giving you peace of mind that they will have attention, love and company. I am available for boarding throught the week and weekends as long as I am notified in advance. However, while I do understand things come up, I do have a schedule to adhere to so any and all late arrivals/drop-offs from the stipulated time will be charged a late fee of $15. We have a fenced in yard, big enough to play and run around and lots of toys to play with. I am fairly flexible and can accommodate to your needs and your pups needs, as they come. Devastatingly, we lost our own Miya girl at the ripe age of 14 1/2 but we love being around dogs and cats and enjoy giving them a home away from home even if we can't spend time with our own favorite girl anymore.
About: Growing up in a household with animals has taught me the joy and love they bring into our lives. Over the years I have taken care of my own animals along with family and friends. My experience includes daycare, boarding, overnights with housesitting, walks, drop-ins for feedings and walks. All with loving and care that they feel safe in the environment while either in my home or yours. While staying in my home, they will have the run of the house, lounging on the couch or bed and even ball chasing. You can rest a sure while you're working, date night, vacation or just needing some time to yourself that your animal will be in great hands. Your fur-babies will be treated like family and family always comes first. I also have a dog of my own (16 year old Chihuahua) super friendly that I will bring with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Evansville is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 54 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 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
