“Joshua was so incredible with our two big dogs over a long weekend. He came over to meet the dogs twice before the sit to make sure they felt comfortable with him. They immediately loved him and he made us feel confident they would be on good hands while we were away. He kept us updated and sent pictures the whole time. We know our dogs are a handful (reactive, prey driven), but he never made us feel like they were too much. Cannot thank him enough and are so lucky we found him!”
“Kristy was great with our pup! She took him to the park and for walks. Communicated well and had a wonderful demeanor. She sent updates and pictures and left the house in great shape! Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Elle took such great care of our two dogs, cat, and house! She came through with last-minute pet-sitting and we feel so lucky to have found Elle! She sent regular updates with photos and videos, kept our pets safe and happy, and left our house in immaculate condition (probably cleaner than when she arrived). She cared for our dog who has separation anxiety and took extra steps to ensure he was happy. She also played with our active cat to keep him happy.”
“Elaina was amazing. She took care of our house while we were out for the day, and brought such peace of mind regarding Ace. I never worried for a moment, and just when I would start to think about him, I would get a whole bunch of pictures of him living his best life with his bestie! Elaina was truly so kind, and caring, I'm glad that I found her!”
“Jon takes such good care of our dog Jax. You can tell how much Jax likes him. He gets so excited when Jon comes to our house. He also takes such good care of our house, and it is always so clean when we come home.”
“Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! I was so worried to leave my senior pets for 10 days but she put me ease with her kindness and experience. She had great communication and compassion towards my pets when they had an accident. I felt like she truly loved them as her own. We also loved getting photo updates throughout our trip- she even crocheted cute little hats for the dogs and cat. Would love to have her back to sit again!”
“Jennifer was absolutely incredible. She house sat and took care of our Husky while we were out of town and we could not be happier with her care. Everyday our dog received multiple walks and tons of play time. She sent us frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and as anxious dog parents, we felt completely at ease while our dog was in her care. Highly recommend!!!”
“Lindsey dog and house sat for us for 6 days, we have two dogs and one is a very anxious dog with med and schedule needs - Lindsey was fantastic! She was a great communicator when we were gone, and when we got back the dogs were calm and happy and the house was as tidy as we left it - so wonderful to gave someone we trust. She is also our dogwalker, our pups love her and so do we.”
“George took great care of our two dogs while we were away on a trip. He is very responsive and sent lots of updates. We really appreciated the flexibility in his schedule that allowed him to check in often. We came home to a couple of happy guys! We will be booking with him again on our next trip.”
“Meagan was fantastic! She shared daily updates about our senior cat, Pinot, along with pictures and videos. She also took excellent care of our house while we were away.”
“Puppy and kitty were happy and relaxed when we got home. Our house seemed to be cleaner than when we left! Beau was great and super patient with our puppy who recently developed a fear of car noises! They did great together!”
“Being a repeat customer is the greatest form of recommendation for a Rover. For the second time, Melissa dog and house sat for me. Melissa is dependable, thoughtful, kind, and a good communicator. I've already booked two other dog sitting stays with Melissa for the summer.”
“We found our perfect housesitter/doggo sitter! I’ll admit, I was a little nervous at first about having someone we didn’t know come into our home to care for our three mischievous pups. We had always relied on friends and family, so this was a brand-new experience for us. From the very beginning, Anja completely put our minds at ease. She was incredible with our doggos, sent us daily photos that made us smile, took them for walks, snuggled and loved on them and took wonderful care of our home. Truly, I wish I could give her 10 stars—she’s that amazing. We couldn’t be happier and hope to use her Rover skills again and again. Thank you Anja!”
“Kiki did such an amazing job with my two pups. She communicated often with photo updates and the seemed genuinely happy to have her around. She was a respectful house guest and I would both recommend her to friends and try to book with her again.”
“Vika was wonderful! She house-sat and watched my dog, Winston, for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay and left my home in perfect condition. Most importantly, Winston was very well cared for and happy while I was away. I would absolutely book her again!”
“Jason was absolutely fabulous with our old man MoMo. He was super communicative and my dog was a happy old man when I returned. The house was spotless. Would definitely hire Jason again, especially with an older dog who I am always nervous about leaving.”
“Savannah was an absolute gem! This was our first time with her at our house and we couldn’t be happier. She is very sweet and genuinely loved being with my pup. I got lots of updates and photos where I saw a happy dog! I would recommend Savannah to any one looking for a sitter and puppy playmate!”

Elle took such wonderful care of my home and is very helpful and easy to work with. Elle knows my dog well but there is a new cat in the house, and the two of them don’t get along very well - but that didn’t stop Elle from making sure both of them had all they needed and more! The cat took to her right away and was cuddling on the couch with Elle within a day. I was so grateful to be able to go away knowing they were both in good hands with her. She made sure they each had their special dietary needs met, and also cleaned my home so nicely before leaving :)
Andrea was fantastic to work with. Very thorough and thoughtful about the care of our dog. She took excellent care of our dogs needs (particularly over Fourth of July fireworks when he can be stressed). Andrea is an excellent communicator and left our home spotless. We look forward to working with her again in the future.
Jasmine is a complete dream. She is caring, intuitive about pets and helped ours feel so calm and safe, even on the 4th of July when fireworks were going off. She's completely responsible, reliable, and has great communications, often sending us pictures of our pets, but beyond that, just has a beautiful way about her and a true love and affection for the pets in her care. Our dog, Ollie, can sometimes be a little shy at first but right away, from the photos she sent with his eyes shining and happy, I could tell she'd made him feel completely at ease. Anyone's pets would be lucky to be in her care.
Ben was a phenomenal sitter & we could not recommend him more highly. We were nervous leaving our 4 month old pup overnight for the first time, but it was obvious that he was in great hands. Ben handled the puppy antics like a pro + made sure our adult shep was also incredibly well cared for. He was so accommodating with a late modification request, sent awesome pics & updates, took great of the house, and really went above and beyond all expectations. We are really grateful for Ben's dog care/sitter services and know any pup/fam would be lucky to receive his care & attention
Savannah was an absolute gem! This was our first time with her at our house and we couldn’t be happier. She is very sweet and genuinely loved being with my pup. I got lots of updates and photos where I saw a happy dog! I would recommend Savannah to any one looking for a sitter and puppy playmate!
Kate watched our two kitties in our home for 3 days. We came home to happy kitties which is always great! Kate sent daily update and gave a long update on her final day before leaving our home. She also checked in a few times leading up to our trip to make sure we were both confirmed and clear on instructions which was appreciated. She also made sure to take out the trash and tidy up after her stay. The only small hiccup was prior to booking. The pricing shown on the listing was not the actual cost. She prices herself a bit different than all other Rover sitters we’ve work with. That said, the total cost was reasonable and we worked it out before I agreed to book.
Merddyn came over to meet and she was very nice and took notes. She spent time getting to know my cat and was easy to connect with. I would use her again, my kitty is a little on the shy side at first so it was nice to see her interact with her before i left. Will use her again.
Addisyn did an amazing job caring for our dogs and looking after our home while we were gone. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us total peace of mind. She was super reliable with their routine, making sure they got their allergy meds with dinner each night. Honestly, I don’t think the dogs even missed us! We returned to very happy, well-cared-for pups and will absolutely be booking Addisyn again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Shoreline
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shoreline on Rover is $63.91 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 7,859 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shoreline. 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 Shoreline 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 Shoreline 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 Shoreline 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.
