“Liz was really great with all our animals! I appreciated her responsiveness and the regular photo updates. It really put our mind at ease while we were away. I would definitely book with Liz again.”
“I highly recommend Anna. She is very responsible and was great with my 2 dogs. She updated me regularly about how my pups were doing. Definitely a huge peace of mind knowing my home and fur babies were in such good hands.”
“Nikki was amazing. Normally we use friends or family to watch our beloved fur babies and house, but that has not worked out in three years. Finally after hesitantly going to a sitting service like Rover, we THANKFULLY came across Nikki. We cannot say enough good things! Firstly, and most important, she loved our pets, took great care of them, showered them with the love and affection we would. We have 4 cats and a dog, one of our cats takes multiple meds in multiple forms, she never skipped a beat with administering any of it. We received constant updates, pics and videos and communication from her. She was very quick to respond if we messaged her. She took wonderful care of our home and flowers. We came home from vacation to a clean and tidy house. Our pets were happy. We will definitely reach out to her again when we plan our next trip!!!!! Thank you Nikki!!!!!!”
“Brittaney took amazing care of our dog Mady this week. She was reliable, responsive, and clearly treats pets like her own. We came home to a happy and well cared for pup, which tells me she felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Brittaney kept me updated and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. I’d absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
“Wendy is the absolute BEST!!! She went above and beyond taking care of our two babies (high energy dog and cat). She made sure our dog was let out and played with/walked several times throughout the day, never left him alone for longer than he was able & provided all the love and snuggles! She took excellent care of our home & provided lots of updates and pictures. She gave me such peace of mind being gone for 10 days and I could not recommend someone more. We will definitely be using her for ALL future trips! Best experience I have had on Rover after using for a couple of years now. Wendy is simply the greatest!”
“This sitter was great! They stayed in touch, sent lots of pictures, did a great job with our dog and left our place clean and tidy. Definitely would use them again!”
“I can't say enough great things about Traci-she took such good care of my dog Hazel and my home. She is easy and responsive to communicate with and was very attentive to Hazel's needs. Traci went above and beyond caring for Hazel when a health issue arose, which was so very reassuring to me that she was in good hands. Thank you, Traci-you're the best!”
“Michael was terrific with my two girls! He was punctual and a joy to work with. I highly recommend him. My house looked perfect when we got home and my dogs were relaxed and happy.”
“Aaron is the absolute best. There is no question about how well he takes care of the furry brood and house. A true pet whisperer! This stay he also cared for a family member's furry family when cancelled flights didn't allow the owner to get here. WOW!!!!!”
“My Penny girl was so happy to see Caroline when she arrived for repeat pet sitting: wiggly butt and waggy tail, plus the “let’s play!” bark. It makes it so much easier to leave when you know your fur baby is being well taken care of!”
“Phedre did a great job taking care of our girls. We have a pyrenees puppy that can be a handful and it sounds like she did just fine under Phedres care. She sent us photos and was communicative throughout the whole stay. I even got photos of my pups sleeping and tired, which is rare. Phedre also left our home clean and put together and did extra things like picking up the yard and washing the bed sheets. Definitely recommend!”
“Amazing communication and photos throughout the stay! We even had some irrigation issues that she helped with while we were out! We could tell Walt was well taken care of, as was the house!!”
“Brooke and Dylan are a great team always providing professional, genuine and utmost care to our beloved pet and fine home. They are such great communicators you have a wonderful reassurance that every thing is fine and you need not worry or stress. A wonderful sensation when you are away from your home base and loved one.”
“Augusta was super nice to Frankie and patient with her as it takes her a while to warm up to others. Augusta also is great at communicating what days she's available to dogs sit and what times work for her. She asks clear questions before her stay and follows any directions about feeding times or medication Frankie may need.”
“Kristi is precisely what I have been looking for in a sitter. I was gone for a long weekend and did not give the care of my dog, Shadow, a second thought. With Kristi's background in veterinarian care and thorough attention to detail, I trusted she would manage dosing Shadow's medications properly and would be alert to any potential health issues. She sent multiple updates with pictures assuring me all was well. My house was in better condition when I returned than when I left. Thank you, Kristi! You're a treasure!”
“Kara was an amazing house sitter for our dog and our neighbor's dog. She was able to deal with our dog being sick really well and also kept our apartment in great shape! We would recommend Kara to anyone who needs any help with their pet.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Perkins is $50

When Anna first came to met Tally, she picked her up and “loved” on her right away. Tally is a little girl (Shih Tzu mix) and she loved Anna right off. I really appreciated Anna sending me pictures and updates on Tally while I was gone. That always made me feel comfortable with where Tally was with Anna. I do believe Anna enjoyed Tally and that Tally enjoyed her. House looked great when I got back. I had asked her to put sheets on washer before she left and that worked fine.
We couldn’t be happier with the care we received! She stayed in our home for 11 nights while caring for our two dogs (including a puppy) and two cats during our trip overseas, and everything went incredibly smoothly. Our pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well loved when we returned home. She kept us updated throughout the trip with messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were so far away. It’s hard to enjoy a vacation when you’re worried about your pets, but we never had to. She also took excellent care of our home, leaving everything clean and exactly as we left it. It was obvious she treated both our pets and our house with genuine care and respect. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and kind. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!
Ashley was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly! From the very beginning, she was proactive, organized, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She reached out the day before our trip to make sure we were all on the same page, arrived on time, and checked in whenever she had a question instead of making assumptions. Even though we ended up having much less cell service than we expected while we were away, we felt completely confident knowing our pets were in her care. She watched our dog, Piper, and our two cats, Mushu and Ori, and took such great care of all three. She sent the sweetest photo updates, which made us smile and gave us so much peace of mind. Ashley also went above and beyond in so many little ways that made a huge difference. We had only asked her to scoop the litter box, but she gave it a full clean. She washed Piper’s food bowl, made her treat balls to keep her entertained, and left the apartment in fantastic condition. It was obvious she genuinely cared for both our pets and our home. The biggest compliment we can give is how our pets acted when we got home. Usually they’re extra needy after we’ve been away, but this time they were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they had gotten plenty of love, attention, and playtime while we were gone. Ashley truly exceeded our expectations, and we would happily book with her again. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone we trust with both our pets and our home!
Joy went above and beyond while taking care of our cat, Finn. She sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the day to let us know how he was doing, brought in our trash cans, and left our home in perfect condition. She came back to check on him when we were going to be home later than planned, without us asking. Her attention to detail while I explained how to care for him was also impressive. We would definitely love to have her back in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others! Thanks Joy!
Brenna was great, she sent pictures of Sky when they were on their daily walks. When I returned home it looked as though nobody had even been there, the house was spotless. My only other comment is that before I left I had asked her to send me a list of food and beverages that she would enjoy while being here for multiple days, she didn’t send a list so I reached out to her mom(whom I’ve known for years) and she said that nobody had ever asked her about that. I would like to reach out to anyone that has a great pet sitter to ask that, it’s the least we can do to have a reliable person take care of your beloved pet.
We had an amazing experience with Anastasia. They took incredible care of our dogs, kept us updated with regular photos, and followed all care instructions perfectly. Our pups seemed happy, and well-loved the entire time. We highly recommend Anastasia and will absolutely book them again
First, I want to thank Rover for creating and offering such a valuable service. Secondly, I want to thank Suzanne for providing exceptional care to Bob and our home during our week-long vacation. During our absence, we had an issue that we needed Suzanne's help in resolving and she did so with a can-do attitude and we were able to resolve it over the phone. That was invaluable but Suzanne took it all in stride. Our home and Bob were provided top-notch care and simply cannot say enough what a great match Suzanne was for our home and Bob. Thank you Suzanne for also feeding the hummingbirds and taking such good care of the place. We highly recommend you for house/pet sitting and would be a reference for you at any time! All the best, Jo Ann and Ross
Lorena was absolutely amazing with our Milo boy! She stayed at our place for the weekend and left the house looking cleaner than we left it. She sent tons of pictures of Milo outside playing and then relaxing on the couch. She always asked before she did something with him which I appreciated a lot! She even took him to get a pup cup! 100% recommend Lorena for your animals and will be using her again!
Kayla is amazing!!! She watched our two dogs for a week. They had a great time with her at our home. She sent pictures and updates every single day. Our communication was open and easy. We came home to our house just how we left it and bigger plants because she watered for us too. We can't thank her enough for all the love and care she provided while we were gone.

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 939 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.
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.
