“Angie did a great job at taking care of our pets! She sent updated communication often, lots of pictures, and took really good care of everyone! Regular potty breaks, constant love and attention! Thank you Angie!!!”
About: I Worked at a vet clinic in jasper for a year taking care of dogs and cats services such as cleaning, giving medication, grooming and walking all throughout the week and helping with other procedures. Experience with mildly aggressive animals and hands on experience caring and handling during exams. I learned a lot through that year of working there and loved every bit of it just like I’ll love and care for your pet! I understand that animals need their own care just like us and that includes having their exercise and attention. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life I used to live with four pitbulls and later on two labs. Hopefully I’m a good fit for you and your pet!
About: Hi, I’m Jordan :) I’m a HUGE animal lover at heart and I’ve owned pets my entire life! It's hard to believe I have been working for Rover now for 5 years! I have worked hard to come up with systems that work and I have learned so much during this time. I am constantly doing research and I believe in good communication-I love to send pictures and updates! I have been lucky enough to care for different breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments. It’s important to me that your fur babies feel safe, loved, and part of my family while in my care. I live in an a very quiet and safe apartment complex on the east side of Evansville I absolutely LOVE having animals over at my place I DO allow your friends on the furniture and I DO allow them to sleep with me in my bed. I also thoroughly enjoy being invited into your home to care for your pets in their environment they are most comfortable in. I truly believe our animals are members of the family! I will always do my best to accommodate anything you or your pet may need or want while in my care. I love walks, cuddles, pup cups, and head pats! Thank you for trusting me with your babies!! I have tons of time for your animals! I work full time as a kindergarten teacher’s assistant who is lucky enough to have many days off throughout the year including: summer break, spring break, fall break, Christmas break, weekends, and many days off during the year! I also have an extremely flexible schedule for potty breaks, eating schedules, walk times, or possible medical needs. A normal work day in my life would be from 7:30am-3:45pm. I am a truly detail oriented person which comes in handy while caring for the safety and happiness of your pet(s) which is always my number one priority! I allow animals on all furniture including the bed. I want your animals to feel as at home as possible during the time you are away. I keep my apartment environment very clean as well as making sure it is safe. I have learned new and better ways over time to ensure this. I value communication! I love taking pictures to help pet parents feel more at ease. I can accommodate your animals by sticking to a routine schedule.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Mackey 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 Mackey 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 Mackey 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 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.
