“Couldn’t have been more pleased. Emily was great and Ellie did well. I would definitely use the service again. I haven’t traveled in a long time just because I didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel. This was a great experience and I will definitely do it again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Gunner was wonderful with our Newfoundland- Abby, and our cat-Wendy. He stayed in our home for 9 days, it was neat and tidy when we got back. He walked Abby daily and he kept us up to date with daily messages and pictures. Would highly recommend.”
“We left our 4 dogs, cat, 4 parrots, cockatiel, 2 snakes, turkey, chicken and ducks (and newly hatched baby ducks) for almost a full two weeks in the loving care of these two amazing ladies! We got photos, updates, and a carefree vacation..and the animals got just as much (if not more) love than they do on the daily! We HIGHLY recommend these two for pet/house sitting!! We will definitely be using them for all our needs. Worth every cent!”
“Liz and Anna were very communicative and punctual throughout the entire experience which i really appreciate. My dog is very reactive and they were patient and understanding working with him. Thank you guys for watching my baby while i was gone on such short notice, i appreciate you!”
“I’m so grateful for Kaylah’s help while I was away for a few days. My dog instantly loved her. Kaylah took such great care of my pup and home. Very respectful, communicative, and helpful. I highly recommend her!”
“Anna gave my two big dogs nonstop attention and pets! They adored her. She was able to handle both while on walks, which equals 185 pounds of golden retrievers. I will definitely be using her again because of how she took care of my dogs and the house.”
“Holly is an amazing petsitter, she takes such great care of our cat! Provides multiple updates everyday which is so nice, we always feel at ease when she’s taking care of our cat!”
“Kristi was AH-mazing with my pups. I have 2 big active dogs, and 1 senior dog, and she made all of them feel comfortable, loved, and active. She sent so many pictures of them enjoying walks, swims, and treats. They also felt so comfortable with her they always wanted to lay right on top of her to get as close as they could. She did a phenomenal job, and I am so thrilled she will be watching them on all of my other planned trips. ☺️”
“Danny did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies. We have two large Irish Wolfhounds and two pampered cats. He did not shy away from the challenge. The dogs loved him and enjoyed their long walks. Danny was great with communication… asked questions I didn’t even think about before we went out of town and communicated regularly with us with any questions that came up. Highly recommend him.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was about 12 for people in my town. I have various pets of my own back in my hometown. I have a dog, 3 cats, chickens, and cows and I loved them so much I decided to become a veterinarian. I have learned countless of tasks while working at a vet clinic, so I feel very qualified. I am a college student, so I have plenty of time outside of classes to help take care of other peoples pets. I have a lot of flexibility, so there are lots of times that work for me! I am able to do anything that you need me to do to keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy while they are under my care. I will treat them as if they were my own, if not better.
“Kate was great! I have never left my dogs with a stranger before and right when I met Kate I knew everything would be fine. She gave updates every day while we were gone and she even washed the bedding and remade the bed before she left (which I would never expect her to do)! The house was exactly how we had left it and I could tell the dogs had gotten plenty of attention while we were gone. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Michael preformed as promised. He arrived in a timely manor. He was attentive to the dogs and gave them their eye drops without issue. Michael left the house clean and even washed and changed the sheets.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Perkins is $50

Kayla is amazing. She was very attentive to Moose and she kept me i formed with photos and tezt messages reassuring me that all was going well. You can tell that she loves this work and fully enjoyed sharing her care and love foe my cat Moose! 5 Stars and i highly recommend!
Do not hesitate to book Alaynah to take care of your pet! She is very responsive, flexible, and has an obvious love for animals. I could tell my dog was getting exceptional care through the photos she would send while we were gone on our trip. When there were unexpected changes in our flight home, Alaynah was extremely helpful and accommodating. I will 100% be rebooking with her
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.
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!
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.

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 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.
