“Jenn was an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter for our two golden retrievers. Her attention and care for them was amazing, and her check ins with updates and pictures gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she truly cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!!! I'd give her 6 stars if I could!”
“We could not have asked for better care. It was immediately clear that Russ was attentive to all our pets' needs, and he communicated every step of the way with such thoughtfulness about the details that it's obvious he's not only an animal lover but an all-around compassionate person. We had such a tall order to fill — in particular, it included care for a frail senior dog who required constant supervision over long days. It was such a comfort to know he was in Russ's calm, capable hands, ready for whatever snags came along. This was Russ's first booking but he is clearly a ready professional.”
“Stephanie goes above and beyond to take care of our pups. Communications is great and send multiple pictures with a detailed report every day. We are extremely happy with her services!”
“Erica was amazing…Erica provided superb communication, our puppies were absolutely cared for and enjoyed the time spent with Erica. Our home was well kept and in excellent condition when we arrived home, we are so very appreciative of the love and care given to our beloved dogs.”
“Cessily is an amazing pet and house sitter. We have booked her many times and are grateful to have found her on Rover. She takes amazing care of our two kitties and our dog. They love her lots!”
“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi, I’m Rosa! With 12 years of experience caring for dogs, I know that every pup has their own personality, routine, and little quirks that make them special. I share my home with my 11-year-old Yorkie, who is still playful and full of personality. Caring for a senior dog has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each dog’s individual needs can be. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys neighborhood walks, exploring the park, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with a trusted companion, I’ll tailor our time together to their energy level and preferences. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and rest so your dog can maintain a familiar routine. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big decision. That’s why I value clear communication, thoughtful care, and regular photo updates through Rover, so you can see how your pup is doing. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2 PM, with flexibility depending on my schedule. Before booking, I’d love to learn about your dog’s temperament, daily routine, favorite activities, and any special needs. I’d love to meet you and your pup and help them feel right at home! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2 PM. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule whenever possible. My priority is keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and supervised. I have a clean, dog-friendly home and an 11-year-old Yorkie who is friendly and used to having other dogs around. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crate use, and routines, and I’ll make sure your dog has a calm space to relax when they need quiet time.
“Tina was absolutely phenomenal with my energetic 2 yo. She took Saoirse on wonderful walks at Point Defiance and Sehmel Homestead Park, kept her happy and engaged, and made sure Saoirse had the perfect mix of exercise, care, love, attention, and joy. The regulare photos and videos were absolutely delightful to receive (and share :). Tina’s updates, attention to detail, kindness, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything she does. According to Saoirse, Tina deserves a thousand stars — and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for taking amazing care of my sweet girl!”
About: I've always felt a special connection with animals. I grew up with all kinds of pets, have cared for dogs of different breeds and personalities, and have experience house-sitting small dogs and cats. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal. I pay attention to their personalities, routines, and little quirks, and I want them (and you) to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with shy pets, happy to get outside for walks and sniff adventures, and never one to skimp on affection for a dog who loves cuddles. I have a calm, friendly 20-pound Beagle mix of my own, including experience with a rescue dog, so I understand that every pet has their own needs and comfort level. I'll treat your pet like one of my own, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure you have photo updates and peace of mind while you're away. 🐾❤️ I know what it's like to need pet care and a trusted sitter as I have used this app myself for petcare. Prefer a meet and greet first if time allows I work for myself from home, so I have flexibility in my daily schedule to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. I already build my day around caring for my own small dog, Zoey, and getting outside daily. I'm happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule and routines, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or spending more time with them while you're away. As a protective pet owner myself, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is getting attention, companionship, and care from someone who genuinely loves being around animals. 🐶❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 As a pet owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routines. Some are social butterflies, while others are a little more particular, and that’s perfectly okay! I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m flexible and happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a specific routine, accommodating special preferences, or making sure your pup gets plenty of attention. Safety is always a priority, and I keep dogs leashed whenever we’re outside a securely fenced area. Communication is important to me, too! I’ll keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I also have a sweet, easygoing 20-pound Beagle mix named Zoey who is almost 6 years old and spayed. If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs, I’m happy to discuss bringing her along for a little playdate! Of course, I completely understand that not every dog wants a canine companion, so Zoey will only join us with your permission and if it’s a good fit for your pet. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and comfortable while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Reach out with any questions!
“Morgana is amazing. Our dogs are anxious with new people but they love her. She left our home well maintained and clean. It's a relief to go on trips knowing our dogs and home are well taken care of!”
“Nayeli did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my instructions and gave me lots of updates throughout the weekend. I returned to a happy dog and a well taken care of home. I would recommend Nayeli and book her again!”
“Short version: Ruby speaks pet! Long version: Ruby was a pet whisperer the moment she met my dog; he totally loved on her (he's not picky but he definitely has his favorites). During the meet & greet I could tell she understood how important sticking to a schedule was, which meant a lot. But going back really quick, what meant the most to me was her empathy (we both want the best for our pets), and this is what made Ruby a trusted sitter. Thank you Ruby, so very much!!”
“I am so happy to have found Sierra. Sierra took care of Fyona over a 3-day weekend. She house sat those 3 days and walked, fed, and cuddled Fyona. Finding a good pet sitter is always a challenge. With Sierra I feel I not only found a good pet sitter but the right one. Sierra did a wonderful job watching Fyona. She paid attention to and followed all my instructions. She sent pictures and updates and even reminded me about the weekly garbage collection service. I will definitely continue using Sierra for all my petsitting needs.”
“Joelle was super responsive and caring with our fur family! Our young mini Dachshund has not had a lot of pet sitters in the past so we weren't sure how needy he would be and Joelle was very attentive to his evolving needs. She sent frequent updates and photos that were all greatly appreciated. Joelle not only clearly loves animals, but she communicates compassionately with anxious/nervous pet owners too and that's probably the main reason I will definitely consider her for future house sitting needs!!!”
“Jaimi went above and beyond when staying at my home caring for my 2 dogs and cat! I came home to a spotless house-definitely cleaner than I left it! Also she was so sweet to congratulate me and my husband on our pregnancy with a gift! The house and pets were well taken care of; I knew I didn’t have to worry leaving them in her hands! I will be having her back as long as she’d like to come! :)”
“Kaleia was very sweet and gentle with my timid dog and gave my girls lots of love. I felt comfortable with the level of communication and care. Will happily hire her again.”
“Lani took excellent care of my high energy Lab while I was out of town for the weekend. This was my dog’s first time with a sitter, and I was very nervous because my dog is highly active, needy, sometimes anxious, very bonded to me, and used to me being with me all the time. Lani was able to meet all of her needs and make her feel comfortable while I was away. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and sent regular updates and photos. I’m so thankful!”
“Great job staying with and taking good care of our dogs, lots of pictures and updates over the course of the stay. It was wonderful knowing they were being well cared for while we were away from them.”

Russell, as always, went above and beyond! He treats our home and our entire pack like his own, and we couldn’t ask for better care while we’re away. Knowing everyone is happy, loved, and in such good hands gives us complete peace of mind. At this point, we may just have to start planning our trips around Russell’s availability!
Annie looked after our pup for an overnight stay. It was a last minute business trip booking and Annie was flexible and came to our rescue! Our pup was happy upon our return and our home was like no one was even there. We will definitely be asking Annie to watch our girl again!

Maria was a wonderful companion to Fiddlesticks! She was communicative during our trip, sending great photos and updates. This was our first trip away from Fiddle and we felt totally comfortable and safe leaving him in Maria’s care. She is knowledgeable about dogs, understands their needs, and continued our training during crucial puppy-development-time. We appreciate her so much and would book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Shore Acres is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,037 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shore Acres. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
