“Katherine was available to house sit for my two dogs on very short notice. She was very communicative and took great care of my boys! I really appreciated her sending updates and photos frequently! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Emily did an amazing job watching our babies. We had never used Rover before and were a little apprehensive about it but she exceeded our expectations. She was very communicative and often sent pictures and updates, which we loved! She was also very respectful of our house as well. We could tell that she really cared for our cats well beings and went above and beyond to spend time with them. We look forward to being able to now have someone we trust to watch our pets in the future. (:”
About: I love dogs but I currently can't afford to care for one of my own considering pet deposit, food, and etc. Having a dog in the house makes things overall better. I have been dogsitting/house-sitting for multiple years to fill that hole. I also love to take a lot of walks to stay in shape and having a curious little four-legged friend to accompany me makes them that much more enjoyable. I currently only work part-time so I have plenty of free time and go to the park and on walks. But, if your dog just likes to hang out indoors and watch TV, I'm cool with that as well. I live in a duplex with a nice fenced in backyard for running around in.
“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”
“Heidi took excellent care of our dogs Bella and Miley. From the first moment we met Heidi she listen, asked questions about their care and followed up. She gave their medications and spoiled them with lots of attention. By keeping us informed and sending pictures we were able to enjoy our trip for 11 days knowing they were in caring hands. Thank You Heidi.”
“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!”
About: I work full time as a lead emergency veterinary technician. Love spending time with all animals from puppies, seniors all the way to being there for end of life care. Available for in home boardings, mine or yours. Cuddle and play time are important so I make sure I spend as much time with your baby so they are stress feee and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard. All animals allowed on the furniture. I want it to feel like they are home when they are here.
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my two cats, sent me adorable pictures and videos while I was away, and made me feel completely at ease. She’s dependable, kind, and treated my boys like her own. I came home to happy, well-fed cats and everything perfectly in order. I truly appreciate her reliability and the love she shows for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again — highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! ❤️🐾”
“Natianna was great. She met with me a few days before to ensure everything was a good fit. When I needed to change my time request she was very flexible. My doggo was happy and well loved when I returned. Will be booking her again.”
“As this was only the second time leaving my dog with someone else, I was understandably anxious. However, Deborah's attentiveness to my dog's needs made all the difference. She kept me updated on how my dog was adjusting, sharing uodates and photos. The fact that Deborah even offered to pick up and drop off my dog at my house was above and beyond what I expected. Her dedication and kindness truly made this experience fantastic. I can't recommend her enough!”
“"Fantastic experience! They were amazing with our dogs, super reliable, and always kept us updated. Plus, they were available on short notice, which was a huge help. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!"”
About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.
About: There’s more to pet care than just being an animal lover. It requires a degree of commitment, trustworthiness, and responsibility. When I take care of a pet, my priority is in maintaining its routine, its comfort, and overall physical and mental wellbeing (in addition to having fun of course). Your pet deserves to be cared for and treated like family, even when you’re away! In addition to having long term experience with house and pet sitting, I used to volunteer in my free time to walk dogs at the SPCA in my hometown. I have experience administering injectable medications for a diabetic cat, and oral medication for a dog. I’m a student at Florida State University, going into my third year this fall. For the summer semester, my schedule is incredibly open, so I’m looking for fun and helpful jobs to fill my time. I only take one class in the morning (9:45-11:50) and the rest are online. I will have plenty of time before and after class to provide pet care services, so do not hesitate to reach out! I aim to adhere as closely to a pet’s regular schedule as possible. I want your animal to feel comfortable and safe, and when sitting, keep the house as clean and orderly as it was left.
“Charli just house-sat for me for the first time and did an awesome job. My 4 dogs and cat loved her and were obviously well cared for. Charli dropped by before my trip to meet the pets and she was obviously happy to meet them and took in all the instructions despite have a bit of a crazy household at the time. Charli communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures while sitting and left the house in perfect order. I hope Charli is an available when I need someone to take care of my pets, and would recommend her to anyone else.”
“Adrian did a great job caring for my dog. We were able to meet before my weekend away and by the time my trip came up I confidence that everything was going to go great. He sent picture updates and was very quick to respond. Looking forward to working with Adrian again in the future!”
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.
“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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. In the past couple of years, I even started taking care of horses! I’m open to learn anything about pet sitting and see this as a great way to help out those in my community. I’m a current graduate student in class most of the day. After 5 pm might work best and weekends are usually open. I’m open to work around schedule if necessary. I would be honored to pet sit in your home honor any wishes to maintain boundaries and respect of your private space. Please let me know in advance of any specific needs.
About: I’ve been very passionate about animal care ever since I was a young girl. My experience varies from volunteering to personal experiences. I’m currently a volunteer at the Tallahassee Museum working as an Animal Caretaker. Many friends and family have put their trust in me to take care of and watch their pets for a period of time. I house and care for ALOT of animals of my own, 3 dogs and 4 cats! I enjoy putting in the time to make these animals feel loved and cared for! Pet care is my priority, which is why I maintain an open and flexible schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I understand that providing quality care takes time, patience, and dedication, and I make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended care, I’m committed to being dependable and fully present for every visit. At home, I care for my pets with consistency, patience, and attention to their individual needs. My dogs have access to a secure fenced-in yard, are taken outside at least four times a day, always have fresh water available, receive balanced meals every morning and evening, and enjoy plenty of exercise through long walks, games of fetch, and playtime. My cats are fed balanced meals twice a day, have fresh water at all times, and enjoy daily enrichment with interactive toys and cat-friendly videos. I keep their litter box clean by scooping it every day and completely changing the litter every 4-5 days. For their safety and well-being, my cats are kept indoors, where they can thrive in a clean, enriching environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
Our family had a last minute trip, and Karsen was sweet enough to take care of our 2 older dogs and cat last minute. She was so communicative and made sure our girls were well taken care of and happy while we were gone and even checked on them multiple times a day to make sure they had extra time outside since they’re older and can’t hold it for too long over night. We’re so grateful!
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!
Finding Fel was the best move we have everf had in having our boys taken care of while away. She has a super personality and is dedicated to her job. Fel treated our dogs and our home as if they were her own. She will always be our "go to" whenever we travel. If you are in need for a dog sitter, either for visits daily or to stay in your home, Fel should always be your first choice.
Ahsari was absolutely phenomenal with our three pets! Our two small dogs are usually a little shy but fell in love with her instantly. She provided daily updates and went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of. We came home to additional notes about how they did, cleaned dog dishes, and very happy pets. She even went to the store to get more cat food just in case it was needed, and even grabbed some new toys for the dogs!! We would 100% recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future!!
We recently moved to the area and were looking for someone trustworthy to watch our dog—I'm so glad we found Lillie! She was available to meet beforehand, which really helped ease our minds. Our dog can be a little nervous around new people in his home, but Lillie handled him with ease. Throughout the stay, she did a fantastic job. Her communication was great, and she sent plenty of photos and updates that showed our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Perkins
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Perkins on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 323 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Perkins. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
