“Corey was wonderful for a last minute drop in visit. I felt very comfortable having her come into my home and caring for my fur baby. Will definitely use her again hands down.”
About: I am new to Rover specifically, but have always grown up with dogs of my own and taking care of my neighbors pets since I was a kid! I have experience pet-sitting dogs, cats, fish, and even rabbits! I have ample of free time in between classes to tend to your pet, and I will care for them as if it is my own! I am a full-time college student at the moment, but I have plenty of free time during the day for check-ins and walks! I am used to particularly playing with, feeding walking, and grooming the dog, but am open to whatever your dog needs! I am looking to make the dog feel as safe and comfortable as possible without their primary owner!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boys. We (boys included) knew as soon as we met her, she was a perfect fit. This was our first time using Rover but Elizabeth really put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Christian continues to be my "go to" for prompt, kind and affectionate attention and walks for Lucy Dog at lunchtime when I am at work. Christian takes unprompted and quick action when unexpected situations arise. He is intuitive, mature and responsive, and he genuinely cares for my dog. I highly recommend Christian without reservation.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two Beagles of my own. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as dog sitting for friends, family, and other pet owners. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to keep up with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend most of the day with the pets in my care. I can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I have a spacious home with a large, mostly fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely get outside and play. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep pets’ routines, comfort, and safety a priority. I also have two friendly 20-pound Beagles who enjoy gentle play and would provide company for dogs who are comfortable around other dogs.
“Samantha worked with us to find times that worked for all with the drop-in visits. This was very helpful for my dog sitter, who needed a little extra help with a high energy dog.”
About: I've been a devoted dog mom on and off since 1998 and truly love caring for and walking our furry companions. While I'm currently taking a short break from having my own pup, my love for animals hasn't changed. I live alone and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I'm excited to support other pet parents through reliable pet sitting and attentive dog walking. Every pet I care for is treated like family. I work full-time Monday through Fridays. 830-5pm. Would be available to check in and walk your pups on the lunch hour and evenings and free most weekends. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I live in a spacious townhome on a quiet dead-end street. Perfect for peaceful walks. I'm also close to a lake with beautiful walking paths for longer, relaxing outings. I'm available for in-home stays and house sitting, and since I live alone with no pets or children, I'm able to give each dog my full attention and care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rushville on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rushville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rushville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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 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.
