About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets since I was born! I have experience taking care of neighbor’s pets overnight, and love going for long walks with furry friends. I’m currently training for a 10k, so if your puppy likes to run, I’m happy to take them along with me! I have experience with both large and small dogs, and currently have four large dogs in my family home that I grew up with. I have experience in giving medications to senior dogs, as well as providing comfort care. I also have experience caring for rabbits, as I had one as a pet for 8 years. I currently work as a graduate student at FSU, and have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies! I am also available all day on weekends, including Fridays, for pets that prefer someone constantly home. I love going for long walks around Tallahassee, so dogs with lots of energy would fit perfectly with that. I also enjoy lounging around and taking short strolls if your pet is more low-energy. I can crate a dog if necessary, and am not stranger to animals with strange dietary needs (my own dogs are extremely picky eaters). I have experience giving medications to dogs, cats, and rabbits as well.
“Alexandra was simply wonderful with our cat. In addition to daily photos, she sent us short videos with commentary, explaining where she had found him and how he was doing. We will definitely book her again when we need pet care. Highly recommended!”
“Caroline came in clutch last minute and took great care of my baby. She made sure he was settled in before she left and came at the perfect time for his night-time potty break.”
About: I have grown up taking care of dogs. I have experience in dog walking and dog training. I have also worked with elderly temperamental dogs, newborn puppies, and dogs that require medical assistance. I am a full-time student at FSU studying Musical Theatre. During the week, when I am not in class, I can stop by to check in on your pets. On weekends, my schedule is typically free. I am very adaptable and flexible to meet your pets’ personal needs. My goal as a pet sitter is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for!
“Nilanie is an absolute gem! She's sweet, patient, and so good with our cats. From our very first meeting, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving our babies in her care. Highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”
About: Hi! My name is Olyvia and I’m currently a senior at FSU and a huge animal lover. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive when you need someone to look after your pet. I’ve been pet sitting for dogs and cats since I was a freshman in high school. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets for neighbors and family friends, working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and personalities. This experience has taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving and reliable hands! I am currently a full time student with classes on MWF from 12-12:50 and TTH 9:30-1. I am available for visits before and after classes. I am also available on the weekend with notice. I am a sucker for football games so the weekends can vary. I am not available to care for pets in my own home, but I am free and happy to take care of them at their home! I am happy to walk, play, or just chill with your pets. I understand trust is a major factor for most pets and I am comfortable with coming to met you and your pets prior to my scheduled care to ensure guidelines and responsibilities are set and met.

Always respectful of your home and your pets and I have great references to back that up! :) I hope you pick me to care for your fur babies! I work in an office, Monday - Friday, from 8am to 5pm. I am free weekends. I’m a homebody that enjoys crafting, watching movies and hanging with the animals. While I’m with your animal, I try to show them a lot of love and care because I know the stress it can cause when your pet is away from its owner. So I try to be extra caring and like to give a few extra treats and cuddles while you are away.

About: I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was around 12 years old and have always loved being around animals. I am currently 19 years old and a freshman at Florida State Univeristy. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I have a Siamese cat named George, who I absolutely adore, and caring for him has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. Over the years, I have helped care for pets of friends, family members, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and caring experience for both pets and their owners. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a familiar and comforting presence around, I am committed to making them feel happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I’m a student at Florida State University, and my classes are typically from about 9–11 a.m., so I’m free most of the day. I’m usually available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. My schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around your pet’s normal routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and pay attention to the little things like doors and gates, and each pet’s individual personality. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I’m always happy to send photos and updates while you’re away!

“We absolutely loved Carolina! She was communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our two cats and our home. She even went above and beyond by taking care of the litter boxes, even though we told her she didn’t need to. She’s incredibly trustworthy, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Emily is great! She's pet sat in my home on multiple occasions now. She is familiar with all my pets and their sometimes quirky behaviors. She takes great care of them and takes great care of my home. She communicates frequently throughout her stay and sends pictures and videos often. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs within a large variety since I was 10. From my own German Shepard mix to my closest friend’s terrier, I’ve catered to dogs small and medium sized with care and lots of fun! I am currently a full time college student with a part time job but my schedule is flexible. I can squeeze in appointments during the week but weekends are mostly free. I take cautious note of any allergy or routine concerns I am given from the owner about the animal. I live in an apartment which is very pet friendly and cleanly.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different breeds and ages for as long as I can remember! I have experience administering medication to senior dogs. I love to do more than just feed and check on them, like play, walk, and cuddle! I have two kitties of my own, and we have had wiener dogs in the family since childhood! I’m pretty open and available to follow your schedule! I typically have gone twice a day when I watch my friend’s animals, it just depends on what they prefer and what they think is best! I am very flexible. I will care for your pets and home as if they are my own! I love animals, it’s a pleasure to spend time with them. I will accommodate to your pets needs as you see fit!
About: I’ve personally kept animals of all sizes and breeds for family members and myself. I currently have a mixed breed dog I rescued and kitten I rescued. I am extremely passionate about animals and I love helping people in any way I can. I am currently working a full time job on weekdays but my weekends are free to walk, stop in, or house sit for your pups or kitties! I am very good at following instructions so I usually take care of pets as closely as the owner would, with specific details on how you take care of them. I am very careful with the animal as well, speaking calmly and interacting sweetly.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
Addison has watched my cats several times, and I can always count on her. She's readily available, accommodating with scheduling, and follows instructions. She sends frequent updates, so I never have to wonder how things are going. My cats are always relaxed and happy when I get home. I highly recommend Addison to any pet owner!
Samantha was amazing and took great care of my cat while I was away. She was very attentive to water and litter changes and sent multiple photos of her each day. Samantha made sure to give my cat space when she was feeling shy and I was very grateful to have her.
I had such a wonderful experience with my Rover sitter, Qin! She took amazing care of my cat Mimi while I was away. Every single day, she arrived right on time, made sure Mimi was well-fed, spent quality time with him, and kept everything clean—including his litter box and any little messes. What really stood out to me was how thoughtful and helpful she was beyond just pet care. She even helped bring back my trash can and kept an eye on the yard, which I truly appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mimi was in such caring and reliable hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and that means everything to me. I absolutely loved her service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter!
I hesitate to review Mason because I’m worried she will become so popular that I won’t be able to book her in the future. She is a great communicator and very dependable. I know that my cats will be just as loved and cared for when she visits as if I were home to do so myself! Mason also takes the best pictures (like straight up glamour shots) to send - clearly my cats love her too. I can’t say enough good things about her.
We’ve had Jessica watch our 2 cats twice now and she’s absolutely wonderful! She gives one of our cats a pill every night, makes sure they have food, water, and lots a cuddles and pets for the time she is there. We love having her watch our cats and would highly recommend. She even helped me out when a package was delivered in our mailbox and pick it up for me! We will definitely be hiring her for future watches. 😊
Jordyn is a wonderful house and pet sitter. We have used her many times and plan to in the future. She watch our senior cat while away for the holidays and checked in everyday giving us piece of mind while away and our cat is very shy but loves her. Highly recommend!!!!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Perkins is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
