“This was our third time using Bailey for our very skittish rescue cat when we have to be gone more than overnight. She has always been punctual, polite, and communicative which I appreciate. He hides when she (or anyone) comes over, but Bailey always takes the time to physically find him at every visit to make sure he's okay. This time was no different. Gulliver was well cared for and we came home to an organized water and food station and clean litter box area.”
“Evelyn/Evi was great with Chayce, she checked in on her several times. She fed, walked and even brushed her. Our dog is scared of fireworks & when Evi checked on her in the evening when fireworks were being fired off she sat with her & gave her comfort. This is the first time we’ve let someone Chayce didn’t know take care of her & she really took a liking to Evi quickly. We received pictures & videos which were nice, we had no worries with Evi. I would highly recommend her for pet care. We will definitely use her again when we need a dog sitter.”
“Everything went very well! I think the 2 dogs and cat missed her visit the few days after we returned. 🤣😂 Grace will be caring the our pets again in the near future and I have no reservations and I know all 3 of our pets will enjoy her living care!”
About: With over 2 years of hands-on experience at a doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, I've developed a deep understanding of dogs' needs at every stage of life. Growing up with pets and working with them professionally has made me a reliable, patient, and compassionate caregiver. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and requirements. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I mostly work during the week from 7 AM to 12 PM, leaving me plenty of time to make drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays before or after my work hours. I’m flexible and can adjust to accommodate early morning or evening visits for your pets. On weekends, I typically work a short window from 8 AM to 9 AM and then from 4 PM to 5 PM, which still allows me to provide pet care during the rest of the day. My schedule gives me the ability to give your pets the attention they deserve, whether it's during weekdays or weekends. In my home, I’m happy to care for smaller dogs (under 25 lbs) as I have two friendly dogs of my own that get along well with others. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take my dogs and any guests out on a leash for walks and bathroom breaks with ease, ensuring they’re safe and secure at all times. In your home, I treat your pets like my own—providing them with attention, playtime, and regular walks, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or overnight stay, safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities!

I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet/pets. On days that I work I can walk anytime after 5:30pm. I have a lot of experience handling and caring for dogs, as I work at a daycare and boarding facility. I have two small dogs myself, that can tag along on some walks. I also know many locations to go on walks, and if preferred I can walk with your pet in your neighborhood.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 215 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Yankeetown. 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.

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.
