“Lillyana is wonderful! My babies love her and she is always willing and able to help out last minute, which is so appreciated!! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is a repeat sitter for me!”
“Katherine was awesome to work with! She took great care of our pup Simon and our home while we were away for the weekend. I loved all the regular updates and photos. Highly recommend!”
“She was GREAT with my babies and she took really good care of my home. She even contacted me about an issue one of them was having but had already took steps to help fix it. I’ll definitely use her again. She’s the best.”
“One word...FABULOUS! Her experience with animals put us at ease immediately, Her disposition made us comfortable with Alex staying in our home. Peace of mind is priceless and we were able to leave for the weekend knowing we had someone to trust the entire time. Alex exceeded our expectations and I can’t wait to be able to use her again!”
“I have so many great things to say about Analia and I probably won’t fit them all in this review, but I’m going to try. My partner and I were going on a cross country road trip for two weeks and found ourselves in need of a sitter for our two dogs the day we were supposed to leave for our trip. Before we even met, Analia left an incredible impression. She was compassionate, understanding, and flexible. She agreed to watch our dogs and stop by less than 12 hours before we had to leave. Our dogs are still young and in training, and for some people they can be a bit overwhelming. Analia was not phased at all by this, and from our first interactions, I could tell she was going to give just as much love and attention as we would. She had already looked over our care instructions and remembered facts about them, but she really took it a step further by asking how she could continue their training (something that means a lot to us, but we don’t always expect of others because it can be challenging; we were floored by her thoughtfulness and generosity). We left town feeling so secure having Analia taking care of our dogs. Analia continued to exceed expectations throughout our trip. She very intentionally sent updates, photos, and videos nearly every day, was super flexible when we ran out of food because our shipment didn’t come in, and went out of her way to bring our dogs new toys. When our arrival back home was delayed, Analia was incredibly accommodating and watched the dogs for a couple extra days despite it being last minute and her already having other plans. I feel so lucky to have been connected with Analia, not only because she was a great sitter for our dogs, but because she is such a kind and compassionate person, and was someone I thoroughly enjoyed talking to throughout our trip. She truly is a gem, and someone we will continue to trust our dogs with. If you take anything away from this review, it is that you should end your search here and choose Analia, because you will not regret it.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I've been dog sitting for over a year and had my own dogs for more than 7 years. Caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I don't see Rover as just a job, it's more like a hobby that I really enjoy. Since I can't have a dog of my own right now, caring for other people's dogs allows me to enjoy their company and give them lots of love and attention I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy multiple walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of companionship. I live in a spacious home with a large backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. Since I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow each pet's routine and owner's instructions carefully to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care ❤️🐶
“Autumn was great! I came home to two happy dogs and a clean house. She was accommodating of my dogs' special needs, and went above and beyond cleaning up a particularly nasty accident. She also faced a personal hardship during her stay, and was incredibly proactive, professional, and communicative during the ordeal. She could have easily bailed and left me in a bind, but she was flexible, adapatable, and clearly willing to do what it takes to get the job done. You don't see that every day anymore! This booking was for an emergency medical situation, and she was great about not pestering me with a million questions or stressing me out with unnecessary play-by-plays. I trusted that "no news was good news," and that she could hold the fort down. Can't thank her enough for keeping this worry off my plate!”
“Katie was a fantastic sitter for our Emmie girl! We just recently adopted her and have been working through a lot of training challenges since she came to us with no prior training. Katie went above and beyond—not only taking great care of Emmie, but also giving us really helpful advice and support with training. We definitely recommend her and look forward to having her care for our babies again in the future!”
“Keleigh did a great job watching over our home and our beloved Roscoe. She managed seamlessly and did not have any problems or issues. I would not hesitate to engage her again.”
“Lacy was absolutely amazing! We have 3 dogs, and she communicated every single day letting us know how they were doing. She also sent pictures everyday, which was so appreciated. The place was spotless when we got home, and our pups were well loved and cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Lacy for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Sophia was super amazing with the pets and communicated a lot with me! She kept the house clean and our dogs loved her! She was even flexible with us and a great help when we had to extend our trip a night. Highly recommend her and we appreciate her for everything🫶”
About: I’ve been taking care of family dogs since I was old enough to be left alone at the house, and can work with all ages. I’ve dog sat for my friends and family many times. I’ve also taken care of some of my friends’ cats, and have always gotten along well with them! I’m a student and graduate assistant, but I still have plenty of time in my schedule to take care of your four-legged family members, especially this summer! I walk my dogs all the time, so it’ll be a breeze getting your pup out to stretch their legs! I also have experience house sitting and will have the utmost respect for your home as well as your pets!
“Our animals love Desmond as part of the family and pack. He is reliable, kind and conscientious in his care of the puppies. He brought in the mail, kept the house tidy, and left it clean (even with 2 dogs in and out all day). We look forward to having him watch our puppies and home in the future!!”
“Colette is wonderful. She is very accommodating and was great with our dog Connor. She sent lots of pictures and is great at communicating with us. I will definitely recommend her, and we will be using her again.”
About: I have had animals for most of my life growing up and still have 2 cats. Growing up, I had 4-6 cats and a dog. I always take care of my friend’s animals when they are gone, which includes both dogs and cats which has been going on for about 2 years now. I adore any type of animal and love being with both dogs and cats and being able to give them a good and fun time. I am currently a graduate student at FSU. I am available during most evenings and weekends. I can also check on your pets during the day between classes. On weekends, I am also available for house sitting for you fur babies. I can easily give your animals medicine as I give my pets medicine everyday. I love walking dogs and playing with them outside, playing with your cats. I can also bring extra toys if needed for your cats. I love being outside so walking dogs is a breeze and am able to handle bigger dogs.
“Carolina was amazing with my pup Riley. He is 15 years old and requires a lot of extra care, including strict medication schedules, timed feedings, and regular walks. He isn’t the easiest dog to look after, but Carolina was attentive, reliable, and very hands-on with his care. She sent frequent photo updates and kept me consistently informed, which gave me so much peace of mind. As an older chihuahua, Riley can be a little grumpy (okay, sometimes mean), but Carolina was completely unfazed and handled him with so much patience and gentleness. I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She is a wonderful sitter, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
Lilly is absolutely wonderful. She visited a couple of times before taking care of my senior dog and they bonded quickly. She was flexible as schedule changed throughout the week and took great care of my girl. It was such a positive experience that I’ve already reserved her for my next time away!
Lillyana did amazing. We have three hyper pups with varying quirks and needs, and she took great care of all of them in our home. She was very friendly and communicative, and we came back to a clean home and three happy, healthy dogs. Definitely intend to reach out again!
Mckenzey is a jewel! This is our first time availing ourselves of any professional pet sitting service, so we were anxious about being away for as long as we were. However, during our trip, Mckenzey sent photos, responded to our texts right away, and apparently folded seamlessly into the lives of our pets - all this during what had to be one of the rainiest, stormiest early summers ever. We arrived to a sparkling clean home as well as clean, sweet smelling dogs. She clearly loves animals and enjoys this part of her life - we are so lucky to have found her. We recommend her without reservation and hope for her return to sit for our gang soon and often
Raven went above and beyond while house/pet sitting my two dogs. Medications were taken care of, enrichment toys were used, and lots of treatos were given. My dogs were way more difficult than either of us expected, and she still maintained professionalism and exceptional care. She earned the trust of my extremely anxious foster dog, and dealt with my personal dog’s jealousy. My dog *intentionally* PEED on her PHONE and Raven didn’t just immediately quit. I probably would have. She gave me multiple updates with pictures each day, and made sure I knew they were in capable hands. I was especially impressed with her honesty and transparency when there was a small mishap. She immediately notified me and asked what I wanted done, as opposed to other sitters who might’ve just hoped it didn’t become a bigger problem later. I’m sure it was nerve wracking for her, but it made me trust her immensely, knowing that I could count on her to be straightforward. I will absolutely be asking her to sit for me again, if she can ever forgive my a$$hole dog 😅
Raina was awesome! 10/10!! The pets were well taken care of and loved her, I know, because they all slept in the bed with her, and they only do that when comfortable. She also left the house clean and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Raina for pet sitting, and we will book her again!

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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Perkins walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Perkins 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!
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 Perkins 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!

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 .
