“We've had Holly walking our dog, Willow, for the past two years. We needed someone to housesit Willow for a trip we had planned and she was, as always, accommodating, communicative, and kind. We could not recommend Holly more!”
“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.”
“Maya was so amazing with my dog and cat! I was stress free knowing they were in her care! She sent the cutest photos and frequent updates. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Aryana is wonderful and I will 100% be hiring her again for dog sitting! She sent great updates and my dog Ash looked SO happy and comfortable with her in photos. She went above and beyond to give my dog enriching days that included all his favorite things. Aryana was comfortable staying with Ash who has some special needs and sensitivity to being handled. She is clearly very intuitive with dogs and built trust immediately with him. She sent me a picture of him lying on his back on the couch in a state of total bliss. I knew he was in good hands!”
“Catie was an exceptional sitter for our 9month old dog Sage. She stayed in our house for 8 nights and left the space as clean as she arrived. She took great care of Sage, taking her to dog parks and walks. She was attentive and asked questions. She checked in daily. I never had a worry about Sages care. We will hopefully be booking her again in the future.”
“Beau took care of my dog Bronski and did an exceptional job. Bronski was happy and responded well to Beau, who provided updates and photos throughout the day. I trust Beau and will use their services again in the future. I highly recommend Beau to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dogsitter.”
“Carina did an excellent job of taking care of Cooper in our home. They seem to have bonded nicely. She sent daily updates and took really great photos of him! Our house was in perfect condition on our return.”
“Billy and Monica were wonderful! My clumsy pup had an accident while they were watching him and they handled it with so much grace and professionalism. He looked so happy in all the pictures and videos they sent, and they even printed out some picture for me! My house was left spotless. Would definitely have them watch my pup again.”
“Stephani was such a wonderful sitter for our handful of dogs, that have their various needs (i.e., prescriptions) and strong personalities being huskies. Our doggos seemed instantly calm with her during the meet and greet, and when we returned they didn't want to leave her side. We are so appreciative of her staying with them and giving them such love and care!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, fish, and even snails! I’ve been house and pet sitting on and off throughout my adult life, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. I’m excited to help your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s getting outside for fresh air and walks (when appropriate), enjoying some good exercise, or simply providing plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, I love making sure animals get the care and companionship they need. 🐾 Currently recovering from burnout from medical school. Very flexible. Love reading, nature, and naturopathic medicine. I have a hybrid car. I am Happy to drive for house sitting for longer stays. I ask for a printed list of needs and numbers. I take good direction. Plus I am a Dr. (not a vet) but I know it helps.

“Quinn did an excellent job watching my doggo Kanna. They were really responsive and I appreciated the lovely photos they sent. Kanna got to go on a really long walk at a local park which she surely loved. Quinn super exceeded my expectations in all areas and I'm grateful they could watch kanna for her first time in a new house while I was away.”
“Jolene was a dream come true. She went above and beyond. She took care of our little one as if it were her own dog. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. She was responsible and meticulous about every detail. We're already signed up to use her again! Highly, highly recommend.”
“Great experience on pet sitting. Excellent communication, sending pictures from their time together was a great touch, overall good experience and would definitely use again/recommend”

“We can't thank Whitney enough for the exceptional care she provided for our dogs, Max and Carly. When our original dog sitter had to cancel last minute, Whitney stepped in without hesitation and gave our pups the best care we could have asked for. Max and Carly absolutely adored her!

We highly recommend Whitney for anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter!”

My Dobi-mix is the one we watch to get a vibe from people when they first meet our dogs and she was immediately a fan of Robert. My dogs aren’t the easiest and Robert not only was able to handle their spice but also followed our house rules, like how the dogs aren’t allowed in the kitchen. One thing that impressed me the most is when we got back the dogs did not backslide on their training and behavior. In the past we would have to focus on re-training some rules and boundaries but after Robert watched them it was like we never left.
Kendall was a fantastic cat sitter for our two cats and we would absolutely rebook/recommend!! Our cats have some behavioral issues and require daily medication, and Kendall handled it all with ease and expertise, giving us frequent updates and communicating regularly. Our house was in great condition when we came home and the cats were well loved and cared for. Can’t recommend Kendall enough!
We’re so happy to be home with Pippa! Alex stayed with her while we were away for an extended trip, and it was such a relief knowing Pippa was able to stay comfortable in her own home. We really appreciated having someone here with her and taking care of her while we were so far away. Pippa was happy to see us when we got home and was doing well. Thank you, Alex, for taking care of our girl while we were gone!
Emma did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and our home over a long weekend. She was really communicative and checked in about some of the dogs specific behavior since it was her first time staying with them. We came home to happy pups and a clean house, will definitely reach out to her to stay with our dogs again!
Andrea is wonderful! Calm, clear. So good with our dog. Our dog runs in the anxious side with folx she doesn’t know. She was absolutely fine when Andrea walked in- even though it had been several days since the meet and greet. Clear communication, great pics and videos. We look forward to Andrea caring for our pup again soon!
Aryana is wonderful with my great pyrenees, Ash. She went above and beyond sitting him while I was away: walking him twice and day, keeping his mind stimulated with puzzles, and giving him lots of pets. She also was very skilled handling a situation when Ash resource guarded an item from her. It can be scary when he does that especially because he’s so big; I appreciated her calm, patience, and understanding with him. I’d highly recommend her.
We’re so happy to have Jasmine back to care for Maisie and Mini! It’s such a wonderful feeling to come home to two happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved pets. Jasmine takes such great care of them, and we really appreciate the peace of mind she gives us while we’re away. We’re so grateful to have found her and would happily book with her again and again!
Jessica was such a wonderful sitter for my cat. Not only did she take such good care of him, she was also responsive and considerate about his needs and my preferences. She also took really good care of my house. I will definitely be booking with her again and can’t recommend her enough
Tyler was very responsive to my messages, and very capable of providing our dog with his meds and eye drops (even using creative solutions when our dog was being a bit stubborn with the pills). Tyler also provided photos throughout our time away, and gave us updates on walks and couch/nap time. He also left our home clean and even started the laundry before leaving—thanks Tyler!
Kory was great at house sitting our two bug pups for a week! Kory followed the instructions we provided, sent us daily detailed updates and photos of how the dogs were doing, and left the house clean and tidy for our return. Our dogs seemed very safe and happy with Kory and we would absolutely book them again!
Daisy took such great care of our four cats for house sitting and drop-ins. One of our cats has more complex needs requiring an inhaler and two medications which Daisy supported with. One of our boys had an upset stomach on the first night and Daisy provided so many thorough updates to keep us up to date on how he's doing. My favorite was that she managed to get a picture of all four of them together by the end! Daisy also took great care of our home and made sure to check in for any questions. For disclosure, I work for Rover.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Shoreline is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $112 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.
As of October 2026, there are 7,653 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 , 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.
