“Liz was available on short notice and took great care of my dog Nova! I got lots of picture updates and had a happy dog when I returned home. I would definitely recommend her and ask her to watch Nova again in the future.”
“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.”
“Michael took great care of Lola and Ringo in our home. They were as happy as can be when we got home after 8 days. It was great knowing that they were happy and being taken great care of while we were on vacation. We definitely recommend Michael.”
“Cynthia is the best! She is not only a lovely person, she is kind, conscientious, communicative and caring. She sent us frequent emails and photos of our pup while we were away, which we appreciated. It was delightful to come home to a very happy dog and immaculate house. I’d give 10 stars if I could. Thank you, Cynthia!”
“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.”
“Took great care of our babies! Did a great job with our diabetic doggo and his big brother 🥰 We normally like to travel with our dogs, but couldn't take them- so we were worried. Esp with our one dog needing a regular food/med schedule. They had a great response time and sent photos regularly, which made us feel better. Came home to a clean house and 5 happy fur babies.”
“Our experience with Brittaney exceeded ALL our expectations! The house was most definitely cleaner than we had left it and the dogs were happy, well fed and taken care of! Brittaney let us know each day via photos and messages how the dogs were doing which was very comforting. Brittaney is a very loving person and well educated in animal science. After our initial meet and greet, one of our more aloof dogs showed immediate affection towards Brittaney! After meeting Brittaney, we felt confident the dogs would be happy and well taken care of and we proceeded to have a carefree vacation! Yay! We will most definitely ask Brittaney back again.”
“Marisa house sat taking care of my crazy pack of dogs. I have four and they all have varying needs as well as energy levels. My 16.5 year old pomeranian is considered "hospice" and requires a lot of extra care, medications and diapers. My other three include two "teenage" age chocolate labs! Marisa was WONDERFUL with all of them. With my pom its so stressful to travel not knowing if he will get all his medications, will he eat, Marisa took so much of that stress off of me. She knew how to deal with his medications as well as how important it was that he get them. I honestly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Maris she was amazing and we plan to book her again!”
“Daniel took AMAZING care of my pets and my home!! I have chickens, an indoor cat, & a 12 month old Great Pyrenees, who is pretty difficult. He is either high strung or napping… there’s no middle ground. Daniel’s calm demeanor was just what was needed to create a successful stay with my dog! He took him walking with other dogs which was great & Daniel seemed to have managed quite well. The hens and kitty appeared to have also been taken care of perfectly! I hope to have Daniel come back and stay for my next getaway! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Kiana took great care of our puppy who is currently being treated for heartworms. She was very communicative and we felt comfortable for her to watch Poppy even while we were out of service. Poppy liked Kiana immediately and felt at ease with her. Our house was also very neat and clean when we returned!”
“Caroline was fantastic! We are so lucky we found her. I have a sweet but sometimes anxious Staffy, and it was great for this mama’s heart to feel good about who was taking care of and playing with my fur baby girl. I will definitely be booking Caroline again soon!”
“Jenn was FANTASTIC! She was confident that she would be best pals with our babies and she was not wrong! Our two kitties loved spending time with Jenn while we were away, and knowing that our fur pals were receiving the love and care they deserve, enabled us the piece of mind to be fully present during our 2 week vacation. Jenn is a great communicator, she is gentle, thoughtful, and loving, and she will make a GREAT pet sitter for anyone looking for exceptional at home pet care. THANKS AGAIN JENN! You’re amazing 🫶”
“Kristi took excellent care of our home and dog while we were away. She communicated with us daily and put our minds at ease. When we got home our dog was happy and we could tell he had been so well cared for. Thank you so much Kristi.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Perkins is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
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
Phedre has done multiple day walks and home visits for our little Poms, and recently had her first multi-overnight stay with our babies in our home and it went great! She takes them on adventures, shares photos and updates and we can tell our babies are getting plenty of love while we’re away. She also left the home spotless and had the dishwasher running and sheets in the laundry - super helpful for us to come home to that with all the unpacking we have to do! Looking forward to our next visit with Phedre🙏🏻
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.
I’m in awe of what an amazing job Renee does. My sweet, anxious and needy little dachshund was in love with her! Thank you for being such a great communicator, so helpful and of course, for taking such incredible care of my baby! Renee really loves your pets and cares so much about their happiness and well-being! She also took incredible care of my home. Hands-down the best pet sitter experience I have ever had.
Brittaney took such great care of my two dogs and made my home look even better than I left it! She was quick to respond and provide updates throughout the sitting. She gave all the care and attention my dogs needed! I appreciate her flexibility and willingness to help with anything I needed while away. I will definitely be booking her for future pet needs.

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 946 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.
