“Leaving Otto for two weeks was a big deal for us, but Robert set our minds at ease with frequent photos and updates. Otto was a happy boy when we picked him up, and it was obvious he had a great time with Robert. I would recommend Robert 100% and won't hesitate to book him again.”
“Sarah was such a life saver for me when I was in the area. She took great care of my dog Roo and sent so many pictures and videos throughout Roo’s stay. I felt so at ease knowing Roo was being well taken care of like she was one of their own. Will definitely have them sit for us again!”
“He was an amazing sitter for Diamond and truly went above and beyond! He made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. He kept me updated with pictures every day, was very communicative, and even made her little treats. He made me feel completely at ease knowing Diamond was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I will definitely be booking with him again if I ever need someone to watch Diamond. I highly recommend him!”
“She took very good of my dog. She took my dog on long walks daily for exercise, gave her lots of attention, and gave her daily medications. Would not hesitate to leave my dog with her again.”
“Kendall and Matthew were excellent! Great communication throughout the stay; they sent regular updates and pictures, which really helped reassure me and showed that Cooper was doing well and in good hands. I truly appreciated the care and attention given. Highly recommend!”
“Aylee was so incredible! She was very kind, great communicator, sent pictures, and overall just wonderful. My dog was well taken care of and I will definitely be using Aylee again! I fully recommend her.”

About: Hi! I'm Charli, and I've been caring for animals in both a professional and personal capacity for several years. I've worked as a bather, groomer, daycare, and veterinary clinic professional for over 5 years, and have experience with all of the following animals: dogs (all sizes), cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, fish, pigs, lizards, birds, & more! I most enjoy house sitting, dog walking, and daytime care, and I am able to travel to the further parts of the Tallahassee metro area upon request. For overnight animal guest needs, I have a home in the Astoria Park area of Tallahassee with a big fenced back yard and 5 animals of my own (2 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 ferret). All of our animals are great with other pets and love to meet new friends. If needed, we can also set up a room your pet can have all to themselves. Pet care is my everyday priority! My fiancée works full time from home, allowing me to devote my time to giving our pets and others' pets the care and attention they need (and deserve). I take pet care very seriously and am very attuned to animals' body language. As a veterinary worker, I have been trained to handle any situation in a calm and collected manner. Additionally, I like to ensure proper nutrition, adequate play time and potty breaks, and down time/quiet time when pets are feeling overwhelmed.
About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.
“Andrew did a great job with Umphrey. He provided daily updates and I had no doubt that my pup was well taken care of. Will definitely use Andrew again in the future!”
About: Hello! I currently have two rescues doggies, Cricket and Sunny, who are both amazing mixed breed dogs. Growing up I’ve had all different types of dogs with ages ranging from 3 weeks to 15 y/o. I have experience with both blind and deaf dogs, and can administer medicine with ease. I am currently studying exercise physiology at Florida state but have ample time for visits and play dates! Im more than happy to set up meet-and-greets with your animals to make sure I’m a good fit for your family as well as vice versa. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I’m currently a sophomore student at Florida State University! I only have one morning class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so I am free afterwards for any visits. In clients homes, I will always be very respectful and understand boundaries and client wishes. Primarily, I will be prioritizing the safety and happiness of the animal; however, I would love to learn any personal quirks and make sure they feel the utmost comfort with me.
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs and a cat at home and even raised a puppy and a kitten, so I know the patience, care, and attention they need. From playful pups and kittens to senior dogs and cats, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. Whether it’s energetic walks or gentle care, I’m here to provide top-notch attention for your furry friend! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit in plenty of walks and playtime throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I can work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the care and exercise they need! I provide attentive and personalized care in your home. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment, sticking to their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime.
“Azsah was a great dog sitter! We left Chloe with Azsah for a few weeks during the holidays and she was communicative, sent pictures, and kept Chloe happy with walks and proper attention. We appreciated how nice and organized Azsah was during pick up, making it stress free and easy. Definitely recommend her.”

Very glad I found Colette! She did not mind a meet and greet before dropping Kelly off for a couple days, and she was very communicative. Kelly was so happy to see her again! Colette also helped me put her things in the car which is a big plus since Kelly is a large dog.
Jenna, her kiddos and their adorable dog Milo were perfect fit for Cubby! 🐶 This was Cubby’s second stay, and I coudn’t be happier. I wanted a loving family with a small dog his size so Cubby could have fun too. Jenna went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and cared for. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in great company and sorrounded by love while I’m away. So grateful to have found this wonderful family! 🥰 Highly recommended! 💕
Shirvanna was responsive and even sent pictures. It was wonderful that she only takes one pet at a time, so the puppo seems like she was free to roam and wasn't stuck in a crate. Shirvanna met with me for nearly 30 minutes to day before asking about feeding schedule, how often she needs ti he walked, and any behavioral nuances. I will be contacting Shirvanna again if I go away.
Angela was an amazing sitter. She went above and beyond for my Ava. My dog is pretty high maintenance, especially when she’s not with me and Angela made sure to accommodate all her needs. Down to when Ava wouldn’t eat or when she was afraid of the thunderstorms, Angela would go out of her way to make Ava comfortable. She sent pictures everyday and kept me updated on everything. Ava will definitely be back when we need another sitter!
Christy was very nice. She was able to do a last minute appointment which was great. The environment was very calm and chill for our pup. She was very accommodating and Romeo seemed like he had a good time getting some cuddles in. We would definitely recommend her and are already planning on booking her again for the near future. Thanks Christy!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Perkins can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Perkins 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 favorite hang-out spots in your Perkins.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Perkins. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Perkins sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
