“Highly recommend Mike! He took such great care of my 3 frenchies while we were away. From the moment we met him, we could tell he was passionate about animals and knowledgeable about dog care. Mike kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be booking him again next time I need a sitter.”
“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 K. was an excellent house and dog sitter for our 12yr old senior dog Hank. She provided many updates/photos of activities with our dog which helped us relax a bit more on vacation. She is very communicative and responsive, good with detailed instructions, and happy to help out with miscellaneous things around the home. We would not hesitate to book her again if we take future trips away!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for others through nannying and customer service roles, so being dependable, attentive, and patient comes naturally to me. I have experience working at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and have done pet sitting for a few years now. I truly love being around animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy staying active with walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of companionship and affection. I'm currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I'm hoping to mainly focus on building my pet sitting business. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
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!
“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!”
“We really appreciated Isaiah staying with our 3 pyrenees. He kept us updated with photos and notes, and the house was just like we left it. Will definitely work with Isaiah again.”
“Tracy was a great pet sitter for our dog while we were away for a long weekend. She was respectful of our home and kept the place just as we'd left it. She accommodated all of our scheduling and pet care requests and communicated with us well all through our trip. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we returned home. We would gladly recommend Tracy to our friends and book her again! Thank you Tracy!”
“Another amazing housesitting stay for our 3 pups! We reached out last minute when our first human baby decided to make her grand entrance to the world earlier than expected and are just so grateful our pups got to be cared for by Antonio again. He truly takes care of our pups as if they are his own and his willingness AND ability to accommodate whatever might come up for them means so much to my family! Thank you, Antonio!”
“Thank you for being so good to my two doggies! I appreciate you being so thorough and always providing updates during the day. I feel safe knowing my dogs enjoy your company and are always so happy to be with you!”
About: I started dog sitting 8 years ago while living with a family who had two dogs. I learned how unique every dog’s personality is and the patience working with dogs requires. I continued to care for their dogs, and more, before adopting my own pup Wrigley. Since then I’ve continued to walk and spend time with dogs. I’m currently working part time and am very flexible with my schedule. Your dog’s care will be my primary focus as any work I do outside of sitting and boarding is remote. I am very attention to detail and will do exactly what is asked. If you are new to having someone sit for you, I will follow the appropriate protocols.
“Paulo has been fantastic. My lil guy shadow is timid and fearful therefore he barks a lot and can be tough to befriend but Paulo remained persistent and kind. Him and shadow are on their way to best friend status. Other news is that he was punctual and so friendly. He’s easy to work with. I will work with him again.”
“Luna is a total pro! My dog loved her and she gave me regular updates. She kept my place in great order and was a dream houseguest. You can trust Luna to take good care of your fur baby. I’ll definitely book her again.”
“Cristal took excellent care of our sweet, anxious doggie. She sent lots of pictures and let us know how Clara was doing. When we returned, the house was clean and orderly. She took excellent care of our dog and our house. We have already booked Cristal again!”
“Halona was great. We were out of town and she made sure that Athena was happy. She stepped in when our other person wasn’t available. She made our trip easy because we knew Athena would be taken care of. We will definitely use her again.”
“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!”

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 $55 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 5,520 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shore Acres. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
