“Anna was a great sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. She managed a hand-off from another sitter seamlessly. She gave thorough updates and responded quickly to requests. Would love to have her sit for us again in the future.”
“Faith stayed at our house for a few days with our cat and separation anxiety dog and was great! She was easy to communicate with, sent lots of updates and we came home to happy animals and a clean house.”
“Daniel cared for our active 16-month Australian Shepherd for 6 days. Our dog appeared happy and well cared for upon our return. Also our house was clean upon our return.”
“Martin is amazing! Hope adores him. She's an English bulldog and her little butt wiggles so much when she sees him coming to the door. My girl can be excitable (she's a rescue and loves all human touch) and this can make some people uneasy. Martin had no concerns and was incredible with her. He gave me several updates and pictures throughout the day which meant I could focus on my trip. I am a super picky do mon and I would definitely recommend and will definitely use again.”
“Andrea was fantastic! She took great care of Duncan and the house. We received updates with pictures through out the day. You can tell she really puts a lot of time and energy into the animals she cares for. We will definitely contact her for future visits!!”
“We just worked with Phedre for the first time and she jumped right in with professionalism, patience and attention! We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Renee was spectacular with my cat, Sunny! I am the type of person who struggles greatly leaving my animals for any amount of time. Luckily I found a gem in Renee, who stayed at my house for 2 weeks and took the absolute best care of my cat, my yard, and my home. She watered my grass, my garden boxes, planter boxes; took my trash bins out twice for pickup; collected my mail. Renee also took amazing care of my cat, Sunny. Even though I missed my girl while I was gone, I honestly never worried about her care or wellbeing because I know she was in good, mature hands. Renee communicated with me every day and sent pictures and videos of Sunny playing with toys, going for walks on her leash and harness, and sleeping on her lap. Upon my arrival home, Renee had left me a letter about her stay, laundered bed sheets and towels, and cleaned the house very well. There’s nothing better than coming back from a long trip to a very happy, content cat and a clean home. Thank you, Renee!”
“Ally is everything you could ask for in a sitter. Her communication was excellent and the picture updates of our pups were awesome. We were actually able to relax knowing our dogs where in such good hands.”
“Daniel did a great job watching our Sadie at our house for a few nights while we were away. He communicated timely and assured us Sadie was well taken care of. We definitely will ask for his help again for our next trip away.”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Hi! My name is Brooke and I have petsitted for people for almost 20 years. I love animals of all sorts of shapes and sizes. I hope you'll consider me for watching your babies and here is why. I've administered shots and medicine and up until 2 years ago I had pets of my own. I lost my heart dog Murphy on NYE of 22 in surgery, got diagnosed with Cervical cancer myself that March, mid-April had a radical hysterectomy. A week before my birthday that year I also lost my cat to a dog or coyote attack. Murphy(dog) was 10, Velcro(cat) was 15 and my lil shadow. I lost all that is light and love that year. I cannot have kids, and I dearly miss my fur babies nothing will ever replace them but I do have a big heart. I am tired of going home to an empty house. I want someone to argue over the last bite with and whether or not cheese really is a dessert. I am ready to get another dog, but first savings!!! I've always had savings for myself and my animals because life can go sideways. So that's why I'm here! I'm currently working two part time jobs to help pay the bills and what I get here will go straight to savings so I am properly prepared to get a pup of my own. I would love nothing more to love on your animals while I prepare for my own. And possible into the future as well. I am currently work a full time Job, 8hrs a day. Sometimes I work Saturdays and if so I have Wednesdays before off. M 10-7, T 9-6, W-F 8-5 Your animal is my main priority! I chill with them and follow th parameters paid out for me. And hang with them for the agreed upon timeframes
About: I love dogs and I have one of my own. I have taken care of my friends and family fur baby's for years. Your fur baby will have freedom all the time unless upon request we can crate if if wanted. I make sure that dogos have hours of play time and baths if needed. I'll also take them on walks in the boise foothills, where me and my husband take our dog often. I am currently working but that doesn't stop me from playing with and taking care of your pup morning, noon, and evening. I'm available for boarding 7 days a week. All proceeds made from Saturday sittings will be donated. I have a fenced yard and a dog door so your pupers can run freely 24/7. I also have one very friendly dogo of my own his name is Harley and he's very socialized with other dogos so your fur baby will have some company. I can easily crate your pup if needed. I work from home often so your dog will often be with someone who can very attentive to them.
“Mignon was fantastic. She stayed at our home with our dogs and cats. She sent lots of updates with pics throughout the day. We appreciated her being so quick to respond, attentive to our animals needs, and staying at our place the majority of the time. Our pups never went longer than 4 hours of not being outside. We have a rescue that is very shy and she warmed up to Mignon after a day. Mignon was great! Would love to have her stay with us again. Thanks Mignon!”
“Amy was so much more than just a dog sitter. She took care of our 3 dogs just like we would. She kept us up to date on her coming and goings. Sent pictures of the pups all the time. Left the house clean and picked up after the dogs. She is kind and giving. We have rebooked her for when we travel again. We would highly recommend her.”
“Katherine pet sit our dog and 2 cats for a long weekend and did a great job. She was communicative, sent pics and the animals appeared happy and comfortable. We felt confident they were well cared for and would recommend Katherine for your pet sitting needs.”
“You just couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! Laramie is so trustworthy, she’s simply awesome! My small dogs loved her! I’m so grateful for having found her! We’ll DEFINITELY be using her again if she’ll have us. Thank you!!!!!”
About: Ive taken care of aniumals since my freshman year of highschool 7 years ago. My friends, family, and neighbors have entrusted me to take care off all their animals. I love being around dogs and as an active person I love the companionship on walks. I am currently doing an accelerated nursing program at GCU but try to get out and moving everyday. I usually am on campus twice a week but it changes often. Walking is a great, calming way to take a brain break and having the entertainment of a dog joining me is my favorite. I have a fully fenced, large yard and currently no pets in my house. I have dog leashes, bowls, and beds from my previous animals.
“I was extremely impressed with Alex! She took such amazing care of our fur babies and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She was super communicative and sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. When I got home, both dogs were happy, content, and clearly very well cared for. Thank you so much, Alex! We truly appreciate you loving on our babies like they were your own. ❤️🐾”

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.

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.

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.
