“Misao was quite simply the best dog and house sitter we have ever experienced. From the moment we left for our Thanksgiving vacation, she provided an immediate sense of trust, professionalism, and true peace of mind. She demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, strong situational awareness, and genuine care for our home and our dogs. Throughout our time away, she kept us well informed with thoughtful updates and photos that clearly showed how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our dogs were—allowing us to fully enjoy our holiday without worry. When we returned home, it was evident how much of an impression she made. Our dogs waited by the door, clearly hoping she would return, which speaks volumes about the bond she built with them and the level of care she provided. We are deeply impressed by Misao’s reliability, professionalism, and compassion. We sincerely hope she will be our go-to dog and house sitter moving forward, and we recommend her without hesitation or reservation.”
“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!”
“Megan was wonderful with Bentley. She was on time, asked good questions and took great care of our pup. We look forward to scheduling her again! Thanks Megan❤️”
“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.”
“Gina was wonderfully attentive and communicative regarding the care of our pups and home. This was my first time using a pet sitter service and her attention to detail, clear communication and transparency really made me feel comfortable leaving my pups and home in her care. I definitely appreciate that she did some light chores and left the house cleaner than we left it!”
“Cessily was great! She did a good job handling our nervous and leash reactive elderly dog. She sent regular updates and left the house in pristine condition. Would absolutely book again.”
“Wow!! We have been using Rover for 10 years and Megan is our first "perfect" sitter. She is super communicative, sends pictures with excellent little daily write ups that arent too short or too invasively long/frequent, and followed our instructions to a T. My neighbor even remarked that my dog seemed happy and content when she spotted them walking the lake together. I came home to a perfectly clean house - Megan had even washed and remade the guest bed and laid out her clean towels! The house also smelled heavenly with the dinner she had made before I arrived home; she must be a great cook. Even my plants had all thrived and seemed to be very happy and growing. If the plants are happy too, you know that you found a gem! ;) Not once did Megan call or text me with an emergency or needing help with small little idiosyncrasies when staying in a new home. She was incredibly self sufficient, reliable, and respectful of my home - but also great about communicating her needs upfront during our consultation, or asking permission via text while I was away. Truly a perfect sitter. I highly recommend you book with her.”
“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.”
“Wren took excellent care of my dogs and cats while we were gone for the week. They were well loved, and our house was taken good care of too. I'd definitely recommend her.”
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Mollie is an amazing person. The love,care and time she takes with your pets is a wonderful find. My little Boston terrier, Tiberius engaged righ away. When we came home, the house was spotless. Mollie exceeded all of our expectations. We will reach out again, plans for the next trip have begun. Thank You Mollie!!!!!!”
“Dawn was beyond wonderful! I did not worry at all about all of our pets and she was so respectful in our home. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of our older German shepherd. She adjusted her support as my dog needed it and made sure she was cared for. I highly recommend Stephanie.”
“We loved having Andrea watch our 6 month old puppy, Olive. She sent plenty of pictures and updates to let us know that all was well and set our minds at ease. She also left the house spotless. We will happily have her back to stay in the future!”
“We have booked with Hannah multiple times and our dog always seems relaxed and well taken care of. We had to go home for 2 weeks and we are so happy for the attentive care and responsiveness. She will continue to be our go to!”
“Morgana was fantastic with our mixed herd of dogs and cats! They're a needy bunch, used to constant human companionship and several have meds and medical issues but Morgana was caring and conscientious about all of their requirements. She stayed in contact during our weekend away so we never had to worry, and we returned to find our brood healthy, happy and well-snuggled. Highly recommend; we'll be trying to make her one of our regular pet sitters from now on!”
“Annie is great. This was the first time we've ever had someone watch the dogs in our home so were a bit apprehensive but that changed after we met Annie. Annie provided us with a steady stream of pics and the dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. We've already booked Annie 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!”

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!
Annie did great with all our animals, including our dog Freyja! Freyja is reactive and can be intimidating for new people to meet. Annie followed our meet and greet protocol exactly and had no problems with our crazy dog once we left. She sends daily updates as well. We would definitely use her again!
Russell went above and beyond in every way while house sitting the Pommy Pack. His communication was exceptional—thoughtful, clear and consistent and he took the time to ask questions and clarify every detail so we always felt completely comfortable. More than anything, Russell was incredibly considerate of both our home and our dogs. It genuinely felt like having a trusted family member staying in our home and caring for them, which is the highest compliment I can give. We came home to happy pups and a home that had been treated with so much respect. Finding someone you can truly trust with your dogs and your home is priceless. We would absolutely have Russell back and recommend him without hesitation. 🐾❤️
Brie house sat for my three, high energy pups! She was very responsive and sent plenty of pics so I was not worried about them. I appreciated that Brie was willing to come to my house ahead of time to meet my dogs. I have a German shepherd who can be house protective. It made me feel better that she came to meet them and they all loved her with no protective issues!
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!
Taylor was great! She was able to help us at the last minute when we had a family matter to handle. She was very responsive and pleasant to communicate with. Our pup and meows were happy and healthy when we returned. We never had to worry about our house or fur babies while we were dealing with other matters. We would definitely book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shore Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shore Acres on Rover is $83.25 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 7,130 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.
