“After our brief meet and greet I felt comfortable leaving Bogart and Emmy with Alison because she seemed very genuine and capable of looking after my somewhat high maintenance dogs! When I got home the dogs were clearly well cared for and the house was very tidy…Alison obviously respected my home. She also followed my short novel of instructions to the letter. I would definitely trust Alison to look after my dogs again.”

“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! 🥳”

“Katelyn was amazing with my pup! It was his first time with a dog sitter and was nervous, she was very patient and kind with him, she knew what to do and if she had any questions she was on the ball with communication and updates. I’m so grateful for her and making this process easier for both myself and my pup!”

About: I am fortunate to have experienced the joy, patience, and rewarding challenges of sharing a home with rescue animals. As a rescue dog and cat owner, I don’t just offer pet sitting—I provide practical experience rooted in understanding animal body language, building trust, and maintaining consistent training. Over the years, I have loved, rehabilitated, and trained rescue dogs with a wide variety of backgrounds and personalities. Whether your dog requires positive reinforcement training, structured routine, or extra patience due to reactivity or shyness, I can help create a calm, secure environment. My rescue cat experience means I am equally attuned to feline boundaries, knowing exactly when to offer affection and when to give them their space.Now that I am retired, your pet will have my full-time, undivided attention. Because I don't have to juggle a 9-to-5 schedule, I am uniquely positioned to handle last-minute requests and short-notice dog walks. My goal is to be your most reliable backup, allowing you to confidently say "yes" to those spur-of-the-moment plans, late meetings, or weekend getaways, knowing your pet is in experienced, loving hands.

With Respect and integrity for your home, I will do my best to make the stay for your fur babies seamless. Need light housecleaning? Plants watered? I’ve got you covered. We will meet to cover off your list of expectations to ensure it goes smoothly for both.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young kid, not only have I owned dogs all my life (border collie, and German shepherd) and have done dog sitting for friends and neighbours as well and understand care and grooming for all different kinds of dogs. I am also confident and more than capable of giving any and all medication. Currently working self employed and there are two of us so double the care for the price of one! Since we are self employed and decently in charge of our schedule it allows us to schedule around what works best for you and your furry friends. Take them on regular walks make sure they have appropriate amounts of food and water, make sure they get any and all medication on time. Make sure they there is nothing potentially harmful to the animal in the home or surroundings We also have a large property for them to explore for at home and am more then willing to stick to any and all guidelines you have for your cute furry friend.

“Robin was amazing, came out to visit before we left on vacation to socialize with our dogs.. While we were on vacation she communicated with us daily and sent us pictures while she sat the dogs at our house. House was even picked up and clean when we got home. Was a real pleasure having her take care of our house. Will certainly book her again in the future when we need her help. Would definitely recommend her!”

“This was our first pet homesitting with Jillian and she was awesome! Initially we had a lot of trepidation about having a "stranger" stay in our home with our beloved dogs, Cash and Freedom. We pored over the Rover choices that lived nearer to us, but ultimately contacted Jillian, based on her bio, which exuded intelligence, maturity and an extensive animal knowledge base. After a telephone interview and follow-up home visit, we had no concerns. Jillian was calm, conscientious, professional and she had our dogs (who are overly exuberant "greeters") relaxed and respectful within minutes. It was obvious that she was a very experienced dog handler. Echoing other reviewers, Jillian was dedicated to our pets' wellbeing and she communicated regularly and effectively including photos, during the pet sit. We appreciated that Jillian could work remotely, as our dogs were used to having someone at home most of the time and it was important to us that she was able to maintain their routine. We returned from vacation to a pair of relaxed and content pups. In addition to the excellent pet care, our home was neat and tidy ... she even left us some home-baked cookies! A pet sit with Jillian is worth the cost, as she invests her own time "pre" and "post" the actual booking and makes your pets her priority for whatever length of time she stays with them. We would recommend Jillian to any other pet owners looking for exceptional care, we will be booking her to stay with Cash and Freedom again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Perth East

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 473 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Perth East. About 84% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
