“Katherine took great care of diesel! She was very communicative while I was away, sending updates and pics, so I would know how he was doing. We look forward to booking care with her again!”
“Lillyana was so great with my dogs! She was willing to help at late notice for an unplanned trip I had to take. She was very attentive, communicated well, and assured me that my dogs were well taken care of. I would definitely book again in the future.”
“Heidi is the best! She’s stayed several times at our home with our pup Simon, and we are so grateful for her. She goes above and beyond to provide excellent care for our little guy.”
“I can not say enough wonderful things about Alexzandria! She was kind, attentive and most importantly, my pup absolutely loved her. This was such a wonderful and stress-free experience. I hope that Alexzandria is available next time we need a sitter!”
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!”
“Emily did an amazing job. She checked in multiple times everyday with updates and photos. After having a terrible experience with Rover a couple years ago, Emily has reassured me that this app can be trusted and utilized.”
About: I’ve never not owned an animal in my short 23 years of life. I understand that leaving your baby is hard, and I take care of anyone’s pet, like they are my own :) I have been pet sitting and house sitting for the past eight years! I currently work full-time (8-5) at FSU. Although I work full-time, I WILL make sure your babies are happy, healthy, and are well taken care of! However you want me to take care of your animals, I will follow that! Your animals will definitely be loved up on! If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
About: I've been around pets my whole life and had responsibilities to care for family pets. I also have been trusted to care for others' pets since I was 13. I can walk, feed, and give love to all pets. I work from home and have flexibility in my day to care for your animals. During the weekdays and Sundays, I am available to stop in walk and care for your pets. I will be able to come to your home and make sure your pets are getting walked, fed, and cared for even when you are unable.
“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!”
About: I love all animals and have experience with animals with minor medical needs (ie. pills, shots, creams, etc). I have 2 dogs and am a 4x foster with LCHS with three of them being medical foster puppies. I also have 6 cats who have all come from different situations and back rounds. I excel at following your pets schedule and needs. I commonly house sit for a 100+ lb dog and am more than willing to watch your dog at my home as long as they are good with other dogs and cats. I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. We do not have a fenced yard but live in a very walkable area. Our dogs are crate trained and we have no problem crating your fur baby or leaving them out per your preference.
“Samara was amazing with Maple! Very friendly, attentive, responsible and loving to her. Kept me up-to-date while at work and took very good care of Maple. You can count on Samara to take good care of your pup/dog.”
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.
“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old, so I’m very experienced with their needs and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. Being a student athlete has taught me responsibility, consistency, and time management. I plan my days carefully, so I always have time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I treat every pet like my own and follow their regular routine with feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also create space for crates in my apartment so pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I Grew up in a small zoo with 4 dogs, 2 cats, 6 chickens, and a lizard. My personal babies, peanut (14 y/o chihuahua) and Sophie Cat (4 year old Siberian) are my pride and joy. Currently in school and living on north side Tallahassee, usually on the move but super flexible with moving things around! Getting things done is never a problem for me and I love seeing pets thrive I know that every animal is unique and accustomed to a different lifestyle and I do my best to replicate exactly what their version of normal is, whether that’s frequent walks or quality time together

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
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 😅
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Perkins on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 334 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Perkins. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
