“Danika was great, we communicated a few times if she had a question. She sent me a few pictures and was quick to get back to me if I texted her. My house was clean when we got back, and I would have her back on our next trip”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and think of them as family. I will only have small groups of dogs at a time so your pupper will get lots of attention and belly rubs. I have experience with senior dogs and administering medications. I am a Realtor with a flexible schedule so I am able to care for pets most days during the week. I normally feed the dogs twice a day but I can accommodate special needs. I have a fenced yard and dogs have full run of the house including the living room furniture. I offer medication administration if needed. I have a Labradoodle who is here so your dog will always have a play buddy. My dog is reactive to new people and may bark loudly at meeting. I assure you that she settles right down as soon as the new humans leave and I will send video proof. Sometimes she even settles while new humans are still here! I generally run a kennel free enviroment (unless that is what your dog is used to. Then you can bring your own kennel). At bedtime I take the dogs lead on where they like to sleep. Some prefer sleeping next to my bed, some in my bed and some prefer the living room.
“Jessica is awesome, and so is George! Our dog Bria is very much a home body and picky about the humans she chooses to befriend. Bria and Jessica did great together, and Bria loved playing with George! Jessica communicates well and was a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to use Jessica again. Bria said it's okay, and she's the one we are trying to please! :-)”
About: Hi! My name is Sophia, and I’ve always loved animals. I currently care for my own pets and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. As a caregiver, I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following routines and special instructions. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work as a caregiver, so I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of my time at home. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate weekday requests as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for animals and understand that every dog has their own personality and routine. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, supervise outdoor time, and make sure pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Kendra was very positive and responsible and our anxious dog Bonnie was very calm when we returned, which showed she had been comfortable with Kendra. Kendra brought her charming young daughter with her to dog sit which limited how long and how often she could walk Bonnie.”
About: My family or I have owned multiple dogs or cats of all sizes my entire life. I currently own a 10 year old boxer mix and 10 year old Great Pyrenees so I am comfortable with large and small dogs. I work a from home with a flexible schedule for my day job so I am able to house sit at any time or walk at nearly any time or day. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am typically only unavailable for an hour to 2 a day due to client calls. I am available outside of those couple of hours. I am available for house sitting, check ins, or dog walking. I am comfortable with caring for cats or dogs of all sizes. I have cared for puppies, kittens , and elderly dogs and cats.
“Ashley was fantastic with my large crew. The dogs, cats, chickens, duck and fish were all well taken care of and happy when we returned home after a week. The house looked great and I couldn’t of asked for more! I have my fingers crossed that’s she will be available for the next time we are on vacation! It’s such a good feeling knowing someone competent and caring is taking care of the furry ones while we are gone. Thank you Ashley!!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ocean Shores is $58
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Shores
I was concerned about leaving my dogs in a kennel after a previous traumatic event and considered cancelling my vacation. Rover was recommended to me as an alternate option and that was when I found Alex. Alex came and met my dogs as I wanted to see how my dogs reacted. She knew exactly how to handle my very skittish dog and my very vocal dog and gave them the time they needed to warm up to her. She was very patient and understanding with me while dealing with my anxiety and all my questions. When I received my first pictures and update from her a couple hours after I left, my anxiety was gone and I was able to enjoy my vacation. She sent occasional pictures and updates and kept to our schedule as closely as her schedule allowed. I came home to two very happy and healthy dogs and will definitely schedule with Alex again.
I rebooked Danika for another in home dog care and she was great. We’ve had her a few times now and never had any issues whatsoever so ever. My dog loves her and my bird seems to enjoy her as well. I will highly recommend her to anyone that need pet care, and I look forward to her services in the future.
We trusted Hannah for 8 days with our little maltipoo and our home. We were new to Ocean Shores so it was a leap of faith, but we met her first which was reassuring. She was so sweet to our little girl and communicated with us regularly. Her dog, Fisher, tagged along and quickly became a big brother when they were out on their walks. We highly recommend Hannah!
Duncan is always amazing with our two dogs! He’s dependable, kind, and clearly loves what he does. We always come home to happy, relaxed pups who have obviously been well cared for. Duncan keeps us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciate. We’re so grateful to have someone we can fully trust — highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ocean Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ocean Shores 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 24 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ocean 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 Ocean 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 Ocean 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 Ocean 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
