Pet Sitting in Evansville

“Marie has been our go to sitter for a while now and we couldn't be happier. Our pups love her and we know they're in good hands anytime we have to go somewhere and can't take them”

“You will have a hard time finding a better dog sitter than Carla. She is a true animal lover, and will treat your dog or any animal as well as her own. My dog Chango gravitated to her right away, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her.”

“Stephenie was fantastic! Very communicative and always made sure to take pictures of my little baby. It was my first time using Rover, but she assured me it would be fine. She came over to meet my cat beforehand, and everything went smoothly and I didn't have to worry while I was gone”

About: Animals are our life! Both of us have always had pets growing up and our love for them has grown more and more throughout the years. Our experience in Pet Care is from having our own pets and caring for family, friends, neighbors, and taking in strays. We have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages; from birth into their senior years. In our home pets are priority; whatever they need is provided. I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention; Shelby is also home after business hours and on weekends to provide your baby with even more attention. We know how animals are creatures of habit so whatever their routine is will be ours. We have a completely fenced in yard 6ft tall; we also have a small dog run inside the yard in case separation is required. Our own dogs are kennel trained and we have several extra kennels for your dog if needed. Our house is filled with a plethora of dog toys and dog beds in all shapes and sizes. We have a large variety of dog treats for even the most picky dog. We have several extra dog bowls so all you need to bring is food! We do have cats however if needed we have the ability to keep them in the basement.

“TY so much for giving exceptional care to our Beastie Dog! He is going to miss you til next time. TY for being so reliable, punctual and caring. You were very easy to communicate with even with our 88 yr old Gma! She and Beastie just love you! You truly are the best and we will for sure contact you again! TY a million times!!!! ❤️🐶❤️”

“Madi was wonderful with our pets! I loved the daily check in notes and photos. It gave us such peace of mind! We will definitely use her again😊”

“Samantha was such a awesome sitter. She took such good care of Tboog and Daisy. She was always available to talk when I needed to check on my babies, sent pictures everyday. I always felt at ease knowing she was there for me and my cats was ok. Thank you again Samantha.”

“Makayla did a great job! Especially with an owner leaving dogs for the first time 😁. Even though this was naturally a slightly stressful first experience for them she was able to keep them happy and well cared for! She was patient with them and communicative with me. I trust her to bring up any potential concerns and trust her judgment when interacting with them. She had great notes on the Rover cards which made me feel well informed. The dogs had a good time with pets, play, frozen kongs, and mental stimulation. They definitely made a new friend! I would trust Makayla to watch them again in the future.”

“Our three cats absolutely love Madison. My wife and I absolutely love Madison. She goes above and beyond literally every single visit. When out of town, the highlight of our day is getting a rover card from her filled with details and candid pics. Thank you so much once again!!”

About: I grew up on a ranch taking care of many different pets and livestock, I have a bachelor's degree in Equine Sciences, and have been a lifelong animal lover/owner. I have taken care of many animals of different ages and species. I have lots of time to dedicate to caring for my pets and someone else's as well. I exercise my dogs everyday & would love to help a busy person get their dog some extra playtime as well. I have a large spacious fenced yard with 3 goofy dogs and 1 cat. I have doggy door, yard camera's and plenty of toys. We also are very close to public land where I take my dogs for walks.

About: I grew up on a ranch with 10 dogs (and a cat!), and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve taken care of everything from high-energy cow dogs to cuddly lap dogs and even raised steers for my county fair. Now living in Casper, I really miss being around animals every day—so I’d love to help care for yours like they’re part of my own family! I’m reliable, active, and truly passionate about giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m a full-time esthetician student and lifelong animal lover who grew up on a ranch with 10 dogs! I miss being around pups and would love to help care for yours with walks, runs, and visits. I’m flexible outside of school hours and happy to work with your schedule. With years of hands-on animal experience and a calm, patient approach, your dog will be in loving hands. I also need some time for my mental well being, so what better than to run or walk with a man’s best friend?? Let’s get them moving and tail-wagging! I have taken care of my neighbors dogs while they went on vacations throughout the years and I do whatever is in the description, plus some love and play time. Dogs are literally a man or woman’s best friend and they don’t live as long as people do, which is why I want to make sure they are living their best lives! In my home, since I have so many dogs, I play tug of war with the big dogs that like to play, snuggle my shy, more timid dogs, and throw the ball for my little ones. Our cow dogs are really hard workers, so I leave food for them to eat freely in a dog dish and refill it when it is empty. My littler dogs don’t eat as much, but they come and go when needed. It’s a rule in my house to not let any of the dogs eat people food, so I respect that. It makes sense so that they’re not begging for food at the table. My grandparents on the other hand like to feed their dogs whatever is on their plates! It all depends on the environment and the owner’s preference :)

“I felt confident and more at ease that Nicole has been a dog owner herself her whole life. She is no doubt the most qualified person to take care of your four legged family member. Nicole actually thinks dogs are people too. I was totally happy with her, on how she kept my bestfriend safe and happy. I cant thank her enough for her help.”

“Nela is an awesome sitter! She takes great care of my Doberman, Blue, while I am at work and even kept him over night several times. He always comes home happy and is always excited to see her. I love the pics of their adventures and snuggles, and knowing Nela loves Blue as much as I do is very reassuring for me as a dog owner.”

“Thank you for looking after my fur babies. I really appreciate the pictures.”

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.

“I highly recommend Maria as a pet caregiver on Rover.com. Her dedication and genuine love for animals are evident in how she attentively cares for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cherished. Maria’s reliability and compassion make her a top choice for any pet owner. - Alex R.”

“Our sweet friend Coni is always our first choice to care for our animals when we're not available to do so. We have both a cat and a dog, both of whom are older animals. Coni gives them the care and attention they need, and we can travel without worry for their safety and comfort. Sometimes, Coni also brings her son Josh with her, and our dog *loves* Josh, who is content to play or cuddle, depending on our dog's mood. Both Coni and Josh are a blessing in our lives; we're thankful to have them!”

“Vicky is a huge dog lover and will go beyond expectations to bring happiness to fur families. She is very careful, considerate and attentive to all animals.”

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.
