“Johnathan looked after my 2 large pups, 130lbs and 90lbs over 3 days in our home. I wanted them to be in the comfort of our home to not be stressed out. I've never used a pet service before and was a little wary myself, but Johnathan was easy to communicate with and kept me posted on how they were doing. All went great! Thank you Johnathan! 🥳”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats and have loved animals my entire life. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my daily routine, and I understand the importance of providing them with attention, patience, exercise, and affection. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time I can spend with your dog! Lots of land for hosting and walking. I have a four acre property with a river, forest, and field for dogs to enjoy but sadly it isn’t fenced but lots of room to play around safely!
“Emma was on time and stayed with our dog overnight and he was well cared for. We are very pleased to have Emma to rely on to care for our dog and stay with him so we can get away and see friends and family.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from raising fish and hamsters to loving guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Right now, I share my home with my sweet dog named Winnie who is a Miniature German Shepherd and an affectionate cat, named Luna, who I’m completely obsessed with. I love observing animals’ behaviors, understanding their needs, and showering them with the affection they give (and ask for!) in return. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved! Im working full time so the first thing I make sure to take care of is to feed my furbabies food and replenish their water dish. Winnie has been waiting all night to use the bathroom so I either send her out or if I have time take her on morning stroll to stretch those tiny legs. I also make sure to clean Luna’s litter no matter how un-used it was over night because of the princess that she constantly reminds me that she is! On my day offs I make sure to spend more time with Winnie outdoors whether that’s going to the dog park, extensive walks or just playing fetch in our neighbourhood! I also give Luna her attention by giving her bum scratches and pats, refilling her cat nip toy, or brushing her which she always enjoys. I will most likely be visiting my clients home mostly because Luna is uneasy around other animals. But following crating instructions, keeping doors closed when necessary, creating a calm and peaceful environment, not leaving garbages or food bags/containers or anything that can put either pet at risk.
“Sarah was so great with our animals. It was our first time leaving our puppy for a few days. I felt comfortable with her in our home and came back to happy animals. We got regular updates which put our minds at ease. Thanks so much!!”
About: 🐶 Former Pet Owner 🏃♂️ Flexible as per your needs 🗣️ Clear and smooth communication for owners 🫡 Respecting owners' privacy and complying with their house rules 🤓 I genuinely like to be surrounded by animals; I am an independent senior tech consultant/startup founder by profession, but I do this not as a profession but as my way to help people with their busy schedules, and in return I get to make new furry friends❤️!! I work remotely and on my own schedule. I am an independent senior tech consultant/startup founder by profession. So as long as the pet owners communicate their needs well in advance, I don't believe there will be a scheduling problem. I work 7 days a week, so my schedule is pretty the same year-round. I also have a car for driving long distances if needed. 1. Keep them safe and clean. 2. Meet basic requirements, including on-time feeding and put-into activities. 3. Enhance with playing and interacting with pets to build trust and relationships 4. Extra attention to ensure pets are happy and calm.
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Walter was kind enough to accept a lasting team booking for my 22 month old Great Dane and senior Beagle. I was super nervous leaving a 140lbs puppy for a few nights, but after meeting Walter for the first time and seeing his calm, gentle demeanor with my boys; I was instantly at comfort! It was noticeable he has a lot of experience with giant size, active dogs. Each day I received multiple pictures of Walter and my boys on walks, sniffing around, having treats, and snuggling. It definitely felt good knowing they were having as much fun as me when I was away! Walter not only took meticulous care of my boys, he also kept my place perfectly clean. He even walked them again right before I came home, which bought me some extra time to relax with them when I got back. Thank you Walter! We certainly hope you will consider us again in the future!”

“Jillian pet sit our three English Pointers while we were out of the country. These dogs are our whole life, and she was beyond amazing with them. My big goofy male who is very picky on who he likes adored her, so much so that he seemed disappointed when we returned home! Jillian made our dream trip worry free, and we have rebooked her for our next overseas trip. Thank you Jillian!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Perth
Laura was absolutely excellent! Her quick response to the time frame we asked for and her willingness to visit prior, to ensure she, Abbey, and us were the right fit. Laura is obviously a "pet" lover. When she met us her first greeting was to Abbey and Abbey recognized that immediately. They were fast friends. Due to impending bad weather and our travel needs, Laura arrived the evening before to make sure Abbey was taken care of. Their time together went very well. Lots of walks, playtime and cuddles...we weren't here; however, it was so obvious when we returned how happy Abbey was. She was excited to see us of course but kept checking on Laura too. That told us they enjoyed each other. The house was exactly how we had left it. Laura was very mindful of this. What a pleasure to return to a clean & tidy home. Laura is so thoughtful-had even purchased milk & eggs and left some of her delicious home made soup knowing we'd be tired when we returned. Truly, Laura is wonderful.
Laura took great care of my dog Charlie and my cat Sophie for an overnight stay. She communicated well, made sure everything was taken care of, and even shoveled part of the deck so she could safely access the gate to walk Charlie. When I got home both pets were happy and relaxed, and Charlie clearly liked her. I’d definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Perth 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 North Perth walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 North Perth 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
