“This was our first time using Rover for our two boys (a Cockapoo and a Doberman), and Meaghan was absolutely exceptional. She cared for them with genuine love, patience, and attentiveness. Meaghan kept us well informed with detailed updates and plenty of photos throughout the day, and she took wonderful care with their feeding and walks. We felt completely at ease knowing our boys were in such good hands. I highly recommend Meaghan and will absolutely trust her with our boys again in the future.”

“Emily was very communicative and shared lots of pictures which we loved. She also took our energetic dogs for nice long walks every day and played with them outside. Our home was left clean and tidy, we would use her house sitting services again for sure.”

About: I have always had a dog in my world. Being outside with them, and going on nature walks is the best; along with all the smiles and comfort they bring! No matter the distance, time spent outdoors with a pup always brings so much joy. At this time Thursday-Saturday evenings are best for over-nights. Weekends are also a time when I am free. If there were to be additional needed time given, I could potentially be available. I am also available for drop-ins and walks weekdays after 3:00 p.m. I would make sure that they have time to play around outside and then have a nap inside :) more outside time afterwards of course! I would play with them inside and give treats and meals as indicated from owner. With having two labs I understand dietary needs and can aid to those needs as-well.

“This week we had the pleasure of having Abbey and James look after Ryder while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our girl. Abbey was so great at winning over Ryder’s affection, from the moment they met. Even when we got home she stayed facing Abbey and enjoyed her head rubs. Ryder and their dog Styx apparently had so much fun together, that she basically slept for the next 24 hours. We would definitely hire them again for our girl in the future, and strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby. Thank you Abbey and James.”

“I feel very lucky to have found Jenna and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. She is clearly an animal lover and we were able to meet in person twice before her stay which was reassuring for me. My dog is a senior and my cat very timid and she was happy to cater to their specific needs and keep me updated throughout the week we were away. She was very organized and helped me navigate the process with Rover. Thank you Jenna!”

About: Hi I'm Victoria! Owner of VC'S Pet Services I have years of experience looking after beloved pets in professional kennel and pet care settings and strive to fulfill animals physical, and mental needs. Everything I do is out of respect for the animals I care for and the people who know them best. I am Canine CPR and First Aid certified, insured, and have extensive knowledge in animal behaviour. Your pets personal space will be respected, while ensuring their every need is fulfilled. While working in pet care facilities, I realized that they are not for everyone. Whether your pet has separation anxiety, can react when overwhelmed, doesn't like other animals, doesn't travel well, or simply prefers spending their time at home while your away, I will insure that their routine stays the same and that they are happy and content. Whether you are gone for a day, or a week, I will provide you and your beloved pets with professional services that will put everyone at ease. I can't wait to learn more about your pet! This is my full time business! I am available for Walks, Drop in Visits, and Overnight Visits whenever it suits your schedule. I provide pet services in Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, and everywhere in between! I can assure you that I will provide the safest environment possible for your pets. Dogs will be kept on leash at all times when outside of their home or fenced yard. I have a great deal of experience administering medications, noticing differences in behaviour and health, and am detail oriented. I pay close attention to instructions and will take all safety measures possible to keep everyone safe.

“I can't recommend Josephine enough—she was amazing! Before our 14-day trip, she met with us so Ollie could get comfortable, and he loved her from the start. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Josephine went above and beyond, even leaving our home cleaner than when she arrived. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!”

About: I grew up with tons of different pets in the house; from puppies to Guinea pigs and everything in between. I genuinely love spending my time with animals. Whether that be on a long sunny morning walk or cuddling on the couch with a good book in hand. I work fully remotely so my schedule is flexible. I have my own dog and she enjoys frequent sniffs outside and lots of cuddles, so I’m used to taking breaks. I have a lovely, friendly Pomeranian of my own who shares my home with me. I live near lots of walking trails and live a quiet, peaceful life.

About: I love all animals and practice a dedicated vegan lifestyle for the past 11 years. I have owned three dogs, one cat, four rabbits in my lifetime. Currently, in my home I have three caged free bunnies that don't mind sharing the home with another furry friend. I enjoy being outdoors and being active, so your pet will be well exercised if they like that. I work from home and can be with your pet all day. I also love cats and your cat will have sunny spots to lounge in the home. I will only board one animal at a time, so there will be no sharing of attention or spaces with other animals (except our bunnies). I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I work from home five days a week. If needed, I can crate your pup if I step out, or at bedtime if that's the routine they follow I have a fenced yard for dogs that love to play outdoors, and when they need to go potty. I will pick up their business when outdoors whether in the bush or on a trail walk. I have a multi-level home with stairs and if your pup doesn't like stairs I can carry them to the level I am on, so they always feel like they are part of the action. they will still be a part of the livelihood of my home. My home is well kept with no dangerous chemicals, and is a meat-free home as well (so no raw meat for dinner please).

About: I have over a year and a half of hands-on experience working at a doggy daycare, and I absolutely loved every minute of it! My role involved supervising dogs throughout the day, making sure they stayed safe, happy, and active. I spent lots of time playing with them, encouraging exercise, and getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I also provided dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care for clients, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs both at home and in new environments. On top of my professional experience, I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every dog as if they were my own. I recently moved to the area for college, so my schedule is completely open until September. That means I have lots of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever I can! Since I live in an apartment, I currently provide care in my clients’ homes. I always try to stick to your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks, play with them outside in a fenced yard or indoors, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I’m also comfortable with dogs who like to cuddle or sleep with someone at night if that’s what they’re used to. I’ll make sure your dog has fresh water, is fed according to your instructions, gets lots of potty breaks, and receives plenty of love and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.

About: Patient and caring dog walker and dog sitter with 10+ years of experience with various dog breeds (incl. large dogs). Eager to join Rover to take its furry clientele on long stress-relieving walks regardless of weather conditions. My love for animals is far out of this world! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have plenty of free time during the day and evenings. I lost my best friend to cancer two years ago when he was 14, and caring for him taught me just how special the bond with a pet can be. I truly love spending time with animals, whether that means taking them for walks, playing with them, or welcoming them into my home for boarding. I would be happy to make pet care a meaningful part of my routine and give each animal the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I care for pets with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I follow their usual routines, provide fresh food and water, give them exercise and playtime, and keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Perth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 68 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Perth. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in 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.

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!

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 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 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, identity 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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

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.

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.
