“Julia was great. My dogs were instantly comfortable with her, which was a great sign to me and made me feel much more relaxed on vacation. She sent pictures daily to show their mood and they were doing well. She was reliable and communicated really well. I would book her again and recommend to friends.”
“Franki was great! My husband and both felt immediately at ease when we met her. She took great care of my dogs and the house looked great when we returned. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Tonie took great care of our 3 dogs for a week while we were on a road trip. She sent lots of photos and always responded to questions in a timely manner. We would definitely use her again!”
About: We have always had pets in the house, so taking care of them like they are family comes naturally. I currently have dogs, so understand the needs that come with ownership and will respect you and your animals the same way. I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, spiders, rabbits, fish, and reptiles, so whatever your friend, I can help. I have reasonable rates and stay in your home so the animals don't have to get accustomed to a new environment, lessening the stress on them. I have cared for elder dogs and puppies alike so will clean up after them as required. If all you need is a walker, I can help, too. I have to walk my dogs a good distance to keep them calm (2+ miles), so I have sturdy shoes and am prepared to use them. I hope I can be of assistance to you! I'm not working at the moment so being with your loved ones will be my priority. While I may have errands to run or meet someone for dinner, the majority if my time can be spent taking care of and just being with your pets, if that is required. I do prefer to stay in the house if you are a drive to cut down on the back and forth. But I normally bring my own food and clean as I go. My goal is to leave the place so you never knew I was there, except that your pet is well taken care of. If I'm only needed for walks, let me know when to be there and can make it. I like to meet with the animals first to make sure we are compatible. After that, I am there to keep your routines in tact. If your dog needs walked or fed at specific times, I'm on it. If you cat requires 10 minutes of chin scratches before bed, I got you. If you need to grab a delivery that happens while I'm there, absolutely. I want you to feel 100% confident your pet and house will be cared for. If I'm just walking for you and you have been working on a skull from your dog, let me know. I've put both my dogs through training and understand the importance of consistency.
“Zoe did a great job loving my puppies while I was gone. She communicated with me and sent pictures of them during my time away. When I returned home everything was in order and it didn’t even look like she had been here. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Hannah took such great care of our dog and our home. And she sent lots of photo updates while we were gone! 🥰 I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Teresa was excellent taking care of our two dogs and kitten. She walked the dogs everyday, sent updates and pictures, and was very responsive. She also tidied up before we arrived back home. 10/10 would recommend!”
“We are so thankful to have found Bree. She provided constant updates and was always willing to check in more if we wanted. We will 100% be using her for our extended vacations.”
“Mariah was amazing! She came to our house and watched our 2 dogs for 4 days and did a fantastic job! I got daily updates as well as pictures letting me know how the dogs were doing the whole time. She played outside with them and spent quality time with them! I knew they were in good hands while I was away. She listened to all of the directions and left our house very clean! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future bookings! If you are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy, book with Mariah!”
“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”
“Alexis was amazing and kept us in the loop with how our pets were doing. We got pics daily and she left our house in tip top shape. We highly recommend her and will definitely request her to come back. Thanks, Alexis!”
“Our typical dog sitter was busy for our weekend trip (we waited too long to reach out, that was our bad.) so I had to find someone else we could trust. Tracy has tons of positive reviews and was super quick getting back to me. The doggies were well taken care of. This was perfect for our short trip. Letting anyone into your home can be a little sketchy, but I never felt nervous on this trip. I definitely recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs around my neighborhood and my own dogs from a very young age in all kinds of breeds and ages. I am currently an online college student working to get side income. I am able to work around lots of times to fit your needs! I will make sure to be attentive to any age dog in your home and provide wonderful enrichment and play time to get the energy out!
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bunny. Because of this, I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I have experience walking energetic dogs, caring for playful puppies, and making sure senior pets feel safe and comfortable. My background helps me tune in to each pet’s unique routine and give them the same love and attention they’d get from you. I am currently unemployed so I have so much free time to look after & take care of your fur baby! I am looking for side hustles to keep me busy. As of right now, I only have my one cat in my house. If there is a dog in the house he does not pay them any mind really, but I have multiple rooms to keep them separated & I can use a crate/cage as need be. I would give each animal play-time and attention from me regardless. If, I was to watch the animal in my clients home, I would adhere to whatever rules or routines my client has in place.
“Samantha is wonderful!! She is very professional and asked lots of great questions during meet and great which showed how much she really cares!!!

Everything was perfectly in place when we returned! We have already booked another house-sitting. Thank you Samantha!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cedar Shores
She was so good with our doggos. Super easy to communicate with. Even got our problem child to calm down cause he was so excited to meet someone new. She went out of her way to talk and bond with them. She even gave them a toy to keep them occupied and from chewing up their trays. 10 out of 10 I'll definitely book with her again!
Jill was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our dog and we knew he’d be anxious, but she was great with him and with our cat. The pets and the house were all well taken care of while we were gone and she was super easy to schedule and communicate with. Definitely recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cedar Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cedar Shores on Rover is $44.4 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 249 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cedar Shores. 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 Cedar Shores 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 Cedar Shores 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 Cedar Shores 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cedar Shores. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
