“Thank you Jacinta and your family for taking such good care of our boy. We could tell that your family truly loves animals and we appreciate the care you gave our boy while we were on holidays. We will be sure to contact you again in the future.”
“Nicole and Eddie were awesome! They were very accommodating for our last minute request and took great care of Cosmo for us. They were great with providing updates and photos and Cosmo had a blast playing with Keyser. No issues at all and would definitely use them again. Thanks again guys!!”
“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“Absolutely wonderful care for our dog Bella!!! Laura goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of as Laura loves dogs and making sure they are well treated and taken care of!!! Her family also has the same values of care for pets and makes sure your pet feels at home!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.
“Lynda took exceptional care of my 11 month old puppy Quincy while I was out of town. She provided regular updates and lots of photos and videos. Quincy even made some new friends while he was there. I never had to worry about Quincy as I knew he was in excellent hands. Thank you soooo much, Quincy will be returning for another puppy vacation in the future!!”
“Shelley and her family take very good care of Bandit, he loves his time with them, and it has come to feel as though their home is Bandit's "home away from home". What more can one say? Thank you all so very much.”
“I honestly don’t even know where to start with how incredible this experience was. I found this dog sitter last minute on Rover, and from the very first message, they went above and beyond in every possible way. I have two very high-energy dogs, and leaving them is never something I take lightly—but she, her husband, and their kids made me feel completely at ease. Not only were they unbelievably accommodating and flexible, but they were also so genuinely kind, warm, and generous. They treated my dogs like part of their family. It wasn’t just “watching” them—they were loved, played with, and cared for in a way that honestly exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Her kids adored my dogs, and it showed in every update and every interaction. What truly stood out was how much they went out of their way to help me. They kept my dogs longer than expected without charging anything extra, just out of kindness. That level of generosity is rare, and it meant so much to me. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pets—someone who will treat them like their own—I cannot recommend Justin, Kristen and her family enough. I am beyond grateful to have found them. Thank you again for everything—you are truly amazing. ❤️”
“Rufus loved his time with Jocelyn and Jason. He came home happy and healthy. They even picked up a new collar for him when he chewed through his harness. Will will definitely ask Jocelyn and Jason to take of Rufus when we go away.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing from meet and greet all the way to pickup! Maple had an amazing time and would definitely recommend to anyone! Ashley sends lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the stay which was truly a treat!”
“Jacqueline and Jamie were absolutely incredible every step of the way, from the very beginning to the end of our Rover journey! Being new to Rover, we were a bit nervous about leaving our beloved boy, Pluto, in someone else's care. But, oh boy, did Jacqueline ease all our worries from the moment we met her! She was not only super friendly but also incredibly helpful. Taking the time to walk us through Pluto's daily routine and giving us a tour of their place made us feel like family. Jacqueline's knowledge about dogs and the genuine bond she formed with Pluto turned our nervousness into pure trust. And let's not forget about Miss Lily, their sweet 17-year-old dog—who knew age could be so energetic and friendly! Originally, we had planned a 4-day out-of-town Christmas vacation, but we all got terribly sick. When our health hiccup required us to extend Pluto's stay not just once but twice, Jacqueline and Jamie were absolute champs. They were incredibly accommodating, making sure Pluto continued to have a pawsitively amazing time. We knew Pluto was having a blast because Jacqueline and Jamie kept us in the loop with multiple pictures and videos of his day. Daily walks, playtimes with furry friends, and even Christmas gifts for Pluto—these two went above and beyond! Our experience with Jacqueline and Jamie was nothing short of fantastic, and they've officially become our go-to choice for Pluto's future adventures. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for our furry friends make them not just pet sitters but true members of the extended pet-loving family!”
“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”
“Our dog was very comfortable and happy during his stay. Emma took great care of him and made sure all his needs were met. We’re so glad to have found a place where he feels safe and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“We were incredibly happy with Michaela. Our dog settled in right away, and was very well cared for. Michaela even went the extra mile in trimming her nails! Thank you, Michaela!”
“We are thrilled to have a go-to Rover near beautiful Merrickville, where we sometimes spend the weekend. Now, we're able to send our dog to have a blast with Kayla and her dog while we roam the shops, cafes, and restaurants. Kayla was prompt, professional, and friendly in her communication and service, and she took great care of our dog. He was smiling extra big in all of the photos she sent us throughout the day. We will be reaching out to here again in future, and recommend her to others.”
“Jenna is amazing! She was very accommodating and kept us updated with lots of pics on how Panda was doing during his stay. We highly trust and recommend Jenna as a host for the fur babies. We also really appreciate Jenna took our last-minute booking and always responded timely. Will definitely rebook with Jenna and recommend her to anyone.❤️”
“Coco seemed very happy with her dog sitting family . She came back happy and everything back to normal. That’s how we know she was well taken care of and loved during her 2,weeks away. Thanks again Megan, Jon and the kids”
“Mile spent 16 days with Alaina while we were on a trip abroad. I think he was on his own retreat, he had so much fun! I got updates every few days and saw he made new friends and got lots of play!! Exactly what my high energy dog needs! Because of all his antics, Mile's appetite was greater and Alaina went above and beyond and made him a batch of home cooked food, following his usual diet. Her house had a perfect layout for pups to roam and play, with a nice yard. We just picked up a happy, tired, and very cuddly dog. We'll be trusting Alaina again with our little shark!”
“Nicholas was amazing. Canela felt so at home with Nic, she did not want to leave after a few days. We really appreciated finding Nic on such short notice, and him being so willing to take Canela and making her feel so at home. She got many walks and cuddles, and I know she would be willing to go back to Nic's home in a second.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Perth is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Perth
Leaving my dogs with a sitter for the first time was something I was incredibly nervous about, but Jacqueline immediately put my mind at ease. From the moment I met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. She welcomed my dogs into her family home and treated them like her own, which meant the world to me. Throughout their stay, she kept in touch regularly sending updates, sharing adorable photos, and checking in. It made all the difference and allowed me to actually relax knowing they were safe, happy, and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive dog sitter. She’s truly a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found her!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Perth home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Perth
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
