“Jennifer did a fantastic job watching our older pup! She went above and beyond what we had asked with extra walks/snuggles to make sure our sweet girl was taken care of while we were out of town. Will definitely use her services again! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“I went out of town labor day weekend leaving my two dog s at home instead of putting them in lodging. This is the first time I had Stephanie stay at my house with my dogs. Everything went very well. They were treated well and had multiple outings to the dog park without incident and the house was clean when I returned. I will definitely hire Stephanie again to care for my dogs.”
“Ariana did an amazing job. She was very proactive with status updates and kept me informed daily about everything Dexter was up to. I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free knowing my dog was in good hands. 10/10, will book again.”
“Cessily is amazing! Our dog can be challenging but we were actually able to relax while we were away because it was so obvious that she was in good hands. Cessily was excellent at communicating with us during the trip and her patience with our dog’s quirks was really appreciated. We can’t wait to have another reason to ask her to stay with our dog!”
About: Hi, I’m Brendon! I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs of my own, Finn, a golden retriever, and Oliver, a beagle. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about who is caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m dependable, easygoing, attentive, and flexible when it comes to following your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply plenty of attention and companionship. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and preferences to help them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d be happy to chat and learn more about you and your pet! I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I can accommodate a variety of visit times, walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting needs throughout the week. I always try to keep pets as comfortable as possible by following their normal routine and paying attention to their individual personality and energy level. For dogs, I’m happy to adjust walks and playtime based on whether they enjoy longer, more active outings or prefer a slower pace with plenty of time to sniff and explore. For drop-in visits or house sitting, I make sure food, water, medications, potty breaks, litter boxes, and any other care instructions are handled exactly as requested. With cats, I respect their space and let them decide how much interaction they want, while still making sure they receive plenty of attention and care.
“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!”
“My dogs loved Mackenzie from the first moment they met her. She emanates kindness and a love for living things. She was available on very short notice, prompt, communicative and thorough. She even helped me with a difficult neighborhood kitty and made sure my beloved feral kitty was fed and safe. My dogs have separation anxiety therefore I often dont leave them. I feel so relieved that now that I have someone I can trust and they feel comfortable with to care for them and for our home.”
“When we returned after two weeks I could hardly tell Jerry had stayed in our home it was so undisturbed. I made the mistake of telling Jerry that Lucy, our Cairn Terrier, loved to be taken on walks. Little did I know Jerry would take Lucy on several walks while we were gone. When we returned home Lucy almost ignored us the first day or so apparently missing her walks with Jerry and Kalani. Even though Jerry spoiled Lucy we will certainly use Jerry again in the future.”
“Olivia is a gem. It’s such a gift to find a pet sitter that is very communicative, considerate, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Olivia was proactive with our pets and asked us really good questions to ensure all their needs were met. She was wonderful with her updates and photos. Our pets just loved her! We highly recommend her pet care and we will be booking again!”
“Hannah is great! We love her! She stayed with my pup during the snow storm with NO power in the house. She cuddled with my girl and kept them both warm through the night with no complaints! She is a real trooper🩵”
“Brooklyn was a delight from the moment we met. She was very thorough at our meet and greet with her own questionnaire. Updates throughout her stay were perfect.”
“Simon is a dream sitter! He went above and beyond for my two small dogs! The house and pets were very well cared for and he did an absolutely tremendous job! He stripped the bed and got it ready for me to come home, sent regular reports with photos on the doggos, and it just allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip! What a treat! Thank you Simon!”
“Just to be clear, Joelle is fabulous. We had a long trip abroad to visit family and were worried about finding someone we could trust with our pup and our home while we were so far away. Enter Joelle. She is communicative, kind, professional, thorough, experienced, and handled everything that came her way (our pup having a seizure, our smoke alarm system going haywire, a massive snow storm, etc) in stride. We could trust that everything was in good hands. And the bottom line is that she genuinely loves hanging with our pup (and the feeing seems mutual), which at the end of the day is what matters the most. We highly recommend her.”
About: I work seasonally on a local farm, so I'm usually available for a walk. Since I work outdoors, I'm always ready no matter the weather! I've worked with most types of domestic animals and am able to earn their trust. I enjoy working with big dogs, and can usually keep small dogs entertained. Cats seem to like me, and I give good ear scratches :) I love to get to know the personality of each pet, they are all so individual. Please let me know any 'special' needs your pet has, as well as any fears/triggers to be aware of, so we can work together to give the best care possible. Schedule: Usually available during the day from 9am-3pm and then again in the evenings from 6pm-9pm for walks and drop-in care. Weekend times also available by request. I am trusted by friends and family to care for thier pets, and I'm excited to work with you and your 4-legged family as well!
“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”
“Lillian was absolutely great with my dogs! She was extremely reliable and gave lots of updates with pictures included. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their animals!”
“Absolutely loving to our fur babies. She took excellent care of our two mini Australian Shepherds. Jasmine is the perfect pet sitter if you are looking to have someone care for your pets as their own.”

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!

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.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
