“Kristy is amazing and we are so lBlessed to have her watch Kaya and Big. Genuine, caring and authentic care for our doggies this weekend. We were able to enjoy the event knowing that the doggies are in great care and hands with Kristy.”
“Mary has stayed with our dog multiple times, and it has been great! She also takes great care while house sitting and provide great communication. We will continue booking her in the future and recommend her highly!”
“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!”
“Happy to have Elle back house-sitting with Daisy! It was easy to feel super confident leaving Elle with the home, and, Daisy loved it so much she tried to refuse to let Elle leave at the end of their three days together. Elle is a wonderful friend to dogs :)”
“Andrea was great. Super responsive and reliable and provides us with updates and pictures throughout the weekend. The dogs were happy and the house was clean! We'd definitely reach out to Andrea again if we needed help in the future.”
“Anja took on our 5 month old puppy for the first time for one night. It was our first time leaving her (and our 12yo cat). All went well. She took our pup for a walk that seemed to tire her out from the looks of the pictures she sent. All was in order when we came home.”
“Having Michelle watch our furbabies made all the difference for a peace of mind during our week-long vacation out of the country! This was our first time leaving our 11-month-old puppy, and we were a bit nervous on how he would do. It was so reassuring and uplifting to get Michelle's twice daily updates with LOTS of photos! It made us feel like he was getting his own puppy vacation! Not only did she do the necessary care, but she gave him so much play time and snuggles, took him to a dog park almost daily, and worked on leash training with him. Even our grumpy 9-year-old cat was warming up to her. The cherry on top was coming home to clean sheets in the dryer for us, and a spotless house. House. She was even able to take our garbage bins out and do mail checks for us. Needless to say, we will be booking Michelle many more times!!”
“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!”
“Danielle was great--very responsible and reliable, sent regular pictures of our dog which I loved, and was always quick to respond. She was our first house/dog sitter on Rover, and because of our experience with Danielle I would definitely use Rover again.”
“We and Punky loved Lauren. They played a lot and I can ensure that Punky enjoyed her time with her. We highly recommend her. A nosotros y a Punky nos encantó Lauren. Punky disfruto mucho con ella y jugaron muchísimo. La recomendados mucho sin ninguna duda.”
“Mackenzie was great with our cats. She has chill cat energy that our cranky eldest cat and our timid semi-feral youngest cat both appreciated. She was very responsive and sent us great pictures of the kitties and house details.”
“Maya stayed at our home overnight for about a week with our two cats. We returned to relaxed cats that had been fed, loved on and played with. She sent regular photos that helped us feel connected. Our home including the kitchen and their space was also spotless which we didn't ask for but was Totally appreciated! We recommend using Maya to take care of your pets!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shoreline
We traveled away from home for a week, and Nicole did a wonderful job caring for our home, dog, and cat. We met beforehand to make sure it was a good fit for everyone, and I appreciated that she gave us the flexibility to choose someone else if needed, with no pressure or strings attached. She did a wonderful job caring for our pets, who seemed completely comfortable while we were away thanks to her care and attention. The house was exactly as we left it—in fact, a little better, since she tidied around the house and yard. She left no trace upon her departure, communicated with us as instructed, and provided regular updates and photos at just the right frequency for our wishes. Nicole was professional, friendly, and reliable, and we will certainly call on her again when we travel. Our home and pets were in very capable hands with Nicole, and we highly recommend her.
If you need a pet sitter you will not find better than Elaina! She genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Her communication on when she is coming and going is superb! I have a dog that can be tricky at times and she could not have been more skilled and patient. I will only hire Elaina to watch our dog. Thank you Elaina, We couldn't be more grateful!!!
Jason took great care of our senior golden retriever and sent us photos every day, which we so appreciated. He offered to stay later than originally agreed, as our flight was delayed. We came home to a clean home. He even watered our potted plants as it was so hot while we were gone. I highly recommend him to take care of your fur baby; we will definitely use him again.
I am so grateful to have found Kory - he was an amazing sitter for my pups! He managed both of my pups (who have very different needs) exceptionally well and provided detailed updates and pictures each day to keep me informed. It is evident that he is committed to the wellbeing of the pups in his care and I was able to be away knowing they were in good hands!
Laney did great with our pets! She was very responsive to our texts, sent updates and pictures when requested, and left the house clean for our return. She gave the dogs lots of outside time, and gave all the animals lots of love and snuggles. We'd absolutely book her again for future trips.
Mackenzie was a really great sitter! She was quick to respond to my numerous check-ins — I was anxious about leaving Bang home with someone else for the first time in a while, and she put me completely at ease. She sent lots of pictures and even crocheted him a little party hat, which she left out on the table for us to find when we got home. The house was spotless when she left — she took out the trash, folded the bedding, and tidied up before heading out. I would 10000% book her again. She's amazing, and Bang clearly had a great time with her!
Merddyn was always attentive and prompt. Whenever she had questions or an issue, she quickly communicated and ensured proper cat-sitting. She kept our home very clean and beautiful and my two cats were healthy and happy. I'll definitely rebook her. Thank you, Merddyn!
We love Michelle! She’s the best communicator - consistently responds quickly and always provides twice daily updates with several pup pics. She follows our (lengthy) instructions to the letter! Michelle will update us if anything seems “off” with our pups because she knows them so well. And, she always keeps our house spotless. Michelle is like family & we couldn’t be more grateful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shoreline on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,864 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.

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.
