“This woman is an incredible dog walker and person. Immediately felt comfortable with her after meeting and the animals LOVE her. Polite, progressional, empathetic and an animal lover. Would recommend to any pet owner for dog walking or house sitting.”
About: I have a year of experience working for a pet-sitting company, caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on pets to make sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. I also have experience pet sitting for family members and coworkers, including overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable in their own homes. In addition, I have a family pet who I’ve loved and cared for over the past six years. I treat every pet like family and strive to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while giving pet parents peace of mind! I work a full time job so I’m available before 7:30am and after 5pm, perfect for walks or overnight stays! Open to weekend boardings mainly overnight stays and regular check ups throughout the day. I have a fenced yard where your pup can safely run, play, and enjoy some fresh air! I currently have no pets in my home, so you won’t have to worry about your pet getting along with other animals. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care!
“Cynthia was amazing. She took such good care of my furry friend, and left my home completely untouched. She made sure my dog was walked regularly and sent photos as well. I could tell my pup was content while I was away and that was a huge gift.”
“Anastasia was wonderful to work with. She did a meet and greet before we left on our trip. She provided updates and even sent pictures of my two standard poodles. When I arrived home our place was nice and clean! And my poodles were happy! Highly recommend Anastasia!”
“Kiahna did such a great job watching our dog! She sent photos and kept us updated while we were out. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her house/dog sit again!”
“Wendy did a wonderful job and we were able to take a 3 day vacation knowing that our little "older" dog was in good hands. She does an awesome job of sending you photos and letting you know your pet is following their normal routine and enjoying the time they spend with her. We would recommend her to anyone who has a pet that normally takes a while to warm up to new people. The first time Wendy met Chip, it was "love at first sight". Thank you Wendy!”
“Ciera has quickly become our dog’s favorite person. She did an excellent job helping Sundance feel safe, happy, and comfortable. We always get anxious leaving him, but she kept us constantly updated with messages and pictures. Ciera is the BEST sitter you could get on Rover. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our dogs love Alanah. She is our go to sitter. The dogs are happy to be home with her and we enjoy knowing that they are in good hands. Great communication, dogs are happy..we couldn’t ask for more.”
“Jenn was absolutely fantastic! Jeff and I felt completely at ease away from our pets knowing Jenn was looking after them. Jenn communicated well and spent a lot of time interacting with our cat and dog. We are thrilled with the level of care Jenn provided and will absolutely use her again.”
“Ally is the BEST! She watched both of our dogs while we were on a 10 day vacation celebrating our birthdays and wedding anniversary. We are usually so worried on those trips to leave our dogs but we had full faith in Ally. We were able to relax and it was amazing. She is a 15/10 sitter!”
“Adia was fantastic with our big dogs and was great at giving our 4 yo Bernese his medicine and ear wash and followed our complex feeding regimen. We trusted her with house sitting and she exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommend”
“Ellie is nothing short of an angel! We were out of town and our senior dog had her first seizure and Ellie was there and took great care of her. She transported her to the emergency vet and gave the vet all the important details they needed in taking her in. We don't know what we would have done if Ellie wasn't there.”
About: Hello all pet lovers and owners. I have a life time's experience with animals as I grew up in a family with cats and dogs from the time I was born so I am familiar with the kitten and puppy stages as well as the elderly/disabled cats and dogs. I have dogsat and catsat for about 15+ families in the past where I grew up. I dogsat the same pets over Christmas break and over spring break so I'm hoping to make these next holiday breaks not as lonely. I moved to Boise for college. I am an alumni at BSU. I really do miss my family dog so pet sitting would really help me and help you. Animals are what make me most happy so having a job that envolves hanging out with them and caring for them is ideal to me. I do have experience with giving medications, changing doggie diapers/pads, and dealing with many different types of personalities, ages, or disabilities. I love to walk dogs to give myself exercise and to help them stay healthy. I am willing to do any odd job that involves animals. I especially love kittens and cats because I don't often get to catsit. Fun fact: I have catsat for a savannah cat named Kiwi. Also, I have AED/CPR/First Aid training for humans but I do have knowledge on how to save an animal who may have a heart attack or choke on their food. I find this important for me because I would always want to be prepared if I needed to save someone's animal. As you can see, I need pet sitting jobs as much as you need me so feel free to message me. Thanks! I do work from home but am looking for a way to break up my day through breaks. I have a flexible schedule so my ability to check on your pets is not impacting my professional life. I make sure to respect your home and treat it how you instruct me to do so. I don’t mind cleaning or doing the litter/dog poop if you ask me to do so. I offer any service related to pets so ask and you shall receive!

If you want a sitter who shows pure love and compassion to your pet, it’s Tiffany!! She took care of my 17 year old doxi as if she was her dog. I could tell she wasn’t just going through the motions of the (extensive) care my little old lady needed, she was genuinely treating her with so much love and care. All the snuggles, all the walks, all the playtime, all the things- she put her heart into it. My pup always gets sick when I’m away and this was the FIRST time she didn’t. I’ll definitely be having Tiffany back again- wonderful, wonderful care!!
Ali house sat for me and took wonderful care of Bear. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how he was doing, and she followed all my instructions for his routine. I could tell Ali genuinely loves dogs. Communication was easy and reliable the whole time. I'd book her again and highly recommend her!
Phedre stayed with our dogs for the first time this weekend. She was communicative, our house looked great when we got home, and most importantly, my dogs weren’t stressed and were loved while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Phedre to watch them again!
This is my first time using Rover and I was nervous at first. Leaving my babies alone with someone I don’t know to take care of them. But Hunter put me at ease with text daily, pictures of the pups. My dogs seemed so relaxed in the picture that it made me feel a lot better about being gone. I’ve always had family watch the dogs. And one time we put them in a kennel (I don’t wanna talk about it lol). This has given me another opportunity to travel and know my dogs are happy and safe with Hunter. We will be using her often for our travels. Thank you Hunter.
Ayla was amazing to work with. We have a fairly particular pup when it comes to trusting people outside of his family. Because of this, we had a couple of meet and greets and even a pre-overnight stay to make sure it was a good fit before going out of town for a week. Ayla was completely accommodating and quelled all of our fears with her overwhelming amount of experience and overall demeanor when interacting with high-strung dogs. We will definitely be hiring her again and trust her to take very good care of our pup in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Perkins is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $87 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 922 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
