“We did a walk-through with Audrey before the stay, she came in a timely manner, enjoyed the conversation and she answered any questions I had. Last minute our plans changed from an overnight stay to just drop in visit and she accommodated the changes. During her visit she updated us by sharing photos of Ellouise. I would recommend her, as well as will be using her in the future”
“Alicia is the best! We recently moved to the area and had a pre planned trip so I was nervous leaving Rori in our new house, but Alicia made me feel so calm with lots of updates of how Rori was doing. She really goes the extra mile to ensure your pet’s happiness. So great to know we have a wonderful new pet sitter in our new home! Thanks Alicia!”
About: I have been a dog sitter since I was 13 years old, I love to be outside getting active with any kind of animal. Will have/ or bring treats, toys, and fun energy Everytime I spend time with your companion 😊 I am a full-time dog sitter, dog walker. I am available early mornings and late nights for any type of dog care you may need. I have a fenced yard and two other animals to keep your dog company. I also have the ability to crate an animal if needed. I am very friendly, affectionate and all the time to spend with your animals.
About: Having grown up with pets, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. From a young age, my siblings and I took on the responsibility of feeding, bathing, walking, playing with, and cleaning up after our pets. This experience taught me the importance of attentive and loving care. Additionally, my neighbors entrusted me with their beloved pets when they’ve gone on vacation. I’ve experience with rabbits, have one currently named Ms Bunny, she is eight. I had a guinea pig, named Master Splinter that lived to be 6. Kept and maintained a fish tank in my mid to late 20’s, contained lots of neon tetra, ghost shrimp, and a dwarf gourami! I have full availability to ensure loving care for your pets! My love for animals motivates me to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be well cared for under my watch. I am happy to care for your pets in their home where they are most comfortable. I love going for walks, playing with toys, and/or lounging around when it’s quiet.
“Emily is a SuperHero! She accepted our last minute booking to care for our highly anxious rescue pup overnight. Chloe bonded with her quickly (a miracle in itself) and spent the next full day on great walks and much back yard play time with a ball. We are literally amazed as Emily is the first non family member that Chloe allowed into her trust circle.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I've raised cats and dogs from an early age. I've had to give plenty of kitties and dogs medicines. I love taking dogs for walks! I have 2 golden retrievers and a couple cats at home that I miss dearly so I'd love to take care of your pets! I am working part time & remote currently, so I have a flexible schedule to fit in dog walk or drop in visits for your pets! I have reliable transportation and am easy to get ahold of. I have good communication skills and if I ever have a question or a concern I will reach out!
“Morgan is great with my zoo of animals. I love how she is able to stay at my house to keep them used to their surroundings, sends lots of updates, and cute photos to know that they are not missing us. She is my go-to pet sitter and would highly recommend!”
“Samantha was very caring and sweet with Maddie and took good care of her when we went on an overnight hiking trip. She was quick to send pictures of their walk and snuggle time on the couch, and made sure she was walked and taken care of in the morning before leaving. She even checked in with us again when we didn't respond for a while because we were out of cell range, just to make sure we got back to Maddie ok. Thanks for your help Samantha, your new friend will miss you ❤️🐶”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart! Growing up, my family had dogs, horses, goats, chickens, cats, birds, fish—you name it. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they go on vacation. I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re full of energy and love long walks or prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. You can expect plenty of playtime, belly rubs, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and have an hour commute each way. Because of this, I offer boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone for an extended period during the workday. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to your furry family members! I also offer evening dog walks and drop-in visits after work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or your pet’s specific needs—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving home away from home! I live in a top-floor apartment with carpeted stairs and plenty of windows, perfect for curious pups who love to look outside and watch the world go by. There’s also a private dog park directly across the street from my complex, giving your dog a great place to play and burn off some energy. My neighborhood is quiet and pet-friendly, making it ideal for long walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, treats (with owner approval!). My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, treating them like part of my own family.

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 Shoreham 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 Shoreham 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Shoreham 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!

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 .

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.
