“Yesenia was such a gift to us. She gave excellent care to our shy, senior dog. Yesenia was punctual with the meds and had such great communication with us (and really eased my worries about leaving our girl). I was so grateful that Yesenia bonded with our Lucy the way she did. It’s rare that our pup would feel so comfortable with someone so quickly. Yesenia also took great care of our home. I highly recommend Yesenia.”
“April did an amazing job taking care of our pets and home while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and photos and made us feel very comfortable that our pets were in good hands, allowing us to really enjoy our vacation without worry.”
“Erica was an amazing dogsitter for my 2 pups! She was super communicative and kept in touch the whole time with messages and photos. She took extra care with my more tricky and shy pup, which I greatly appreciated. It was so nice knowing they were in great hands! Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi everyone! I love all animals! Your pet and I will definitely have a great time together! I am trying to become a veterinarian in the future and this is a great start for me! I have a park that is a 5 minute walk from my house and I have a huge yard for any pet that likes outside activities. I can care for disabled pets and older pets as well. I have always wanted to live in a farm because of all the animals but this is close enough for me haha! I have a dog of my own and he will love the extra company and play time. Be certain that I will care for your pet like it is my own! Thank you for reading!
“Isaiah is wonderful to have!! Was very communicative while we gone. Gave great updates and sent pictures! Our Willow loved him! He took her for walks. He also put all the bedding, towels and rugs he used in the washing machine. Incredible! House was immaculate when we got home. Will definitely use him again!!”
“Ashley was totally amazing with Manchitas, we left for 3 days and she took care of her very well. She played with her, she walked with her making sure the temperature was not too hot, she gave her all food and medien she needed during the day. And the best part she was most of the time with her in the house. Thanks to her I had an amazing short vacation with my family♥️ thank you so much Ashley , I will totally hire you again. You are amazing 🤩”
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
About: Animals are a huge part of my life, I genuinely enjoy taking the time to care for exactly what they need, when they need it. I'm really patient with anxious cats and dogs, ill make sure they'll feel cared for. I have a part time job as a barista, so I am able to pet sit a good amount of the week. Time and care for animals is very important to me. I will follow all instructions given by the owner and provide the most to ensure your pet is happy and well. If you prefer me not to use certain things such as crates, I am very flexible. I can also give you updates if needed to not stress about the quality of care for your beloved animal.
“Amanda did a great job caring for my two old ladies and taking care of my home. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She kept in touch while I was away, kept my plants alive, left my house clean, and my girls were happy!”
“Jovelle took great care of pup while we were away. She was a great communicator and always replied promptly. She left our home very clean too. I’d definitely hire Jovelle again!”
“I cannot recommend Paulo highly enough. He was amazing with our two dogs, but especially with our anxious & reactive boxer, Beau. It has been a challenge to find someone who understands how to interact with a reactive dog but Paulo was incredible from the start. He is clearly knowledgeable of dogs & was proactive in making sure that his first meeting with Beau was a positive experience. He kept me informed & was patient with Beau even when he was too anxious to eat. Paulo spent quality time with both dogs & it was clear that they enjoyed their time with him. He was even able to take both dogs for a walk together which we haven’t been able to do in two years! I can not express how much of a relief it is to know that your dogs are in good, kind, capable hands when you are not able to be there. Paulo, you truly have a customer for life!”

Yesenia is an actual angel! We booked with her last minute. We met prior to traveling and I immediately trusted her. She is so sweet and sent pictures daily and was always available when I messaged her! When we came home the house was spotless and our boys were so happy. :) we will definitely use her again!
Cristian was absolutely wonderful with my boy, Cody! He was super nice, very professional, and went above and beyond by keeping me updated with pictures and check-ins throughout the stay. Cody had such a great time with him and clearly loved the attention and care he received. I highly recommend Cristian to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking him for walks and any time I’m away moving forward!

FAQs for House Sitting - Shore Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shore Acres on Rover is $58.58 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,593 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shore Acres. 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 Shore Acres 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 Shore Acres 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 Shore Acres 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.
