“Wenlin helped us so much while watching our dog Peppercorn! She was flexible and responsible when we were out of the country and had to coordinate with several other caregivers. We were grateful to have her help, she went above and beyond!”

“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Leah, and as you might have guessed, I am a huge pet lover! I've been incredibly lucky to be surrounded by sweet furry friends my entire life - growing up with everything from dogs and cats to iguanas and birds - and I have adored every single one of them. As an adult, I raised an adorable corgi and currently share my home with two sweet black cats. I hold a very special place in my heart for senior pets and for those who need a little extra love & care. My beloved corgi, Bamboo, who has since crossed the rainbow bridge, had Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). Caring for him taught me so much about keeping pups cozy, happy, and comfortable. I truly miss him and miss having a dog in my life, so walking and looking after yours would bring me so much joy! I'm also a very proud cat mom to two precious black kitties who have taught me so much. My senior cat, Kanga, has Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), which has made me well-versed in creating peaceful, stress-free environments for our feline friends. My other kitty, Kiwi, has asthma, so I'm completely comfortable administering medications, including inhalers and oral treatments. Since I'm self-employed as an artist, my schedule is wonderfully flexible and I'd love to chat about how I can help. If you happen to be looking for a house-sitter, I would truly love to help you out. I'm available for quick stays of 2 to 4 days at a time. I look forward to hearing from you, and tell your furry friend I said hi, too 🖤 Since I work from home as an artist, my schedule is wonderfully flexible! I can easily adjust my time to fit whatever works best for you and your pet. If I stay at your home, I'll be there to keep your furry friend company throughout most of the day since my work travels with me. Please rest assured that I will deeply respect your space, follow all of your household rules, and keep everything safe and secure (like food that is toxic to pets). I love building a bond of trust with pets by letting them set the pace for interactions.
“Michael and Madisyn are the best dog sitters we’ve had! We got daily updates on feedings, play time, walks and cuddles. The house was literally spotless when we returned. They’re communicative, respectful and most importantly, truly love and care about your pets. I highly recommend them for any services.”
“Such a wonderful experience working with Catie. She was flexible in the process of setting up meet and greet and very helpful explaining the process as we were new to Rover. She took very good care of our Pepper, gave great updates along with pictures and she left the house absolutely spotless. I would definitely have Catie watch our pets again any day!”
“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.”
“Yerelyn took great care of our pups while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was very attentive and sent updates/photos every day. We would definitely trust her with our pups again.”
“Sara is a wonderful Dog Sitter! I highly recommend her services. I returned from a week away to a house that was cleaner than when I left and a happy and content dog. She was very attentive to my sensitive dog’s needs. She also took the time to go to the store for dog food since I miscalculated how much to leave. She is a true professional when it comes to dog & house sitting. I hope to use her again for future vacations.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I have been known to take of senior dogs that are need of a little to moderate attention. My patience and caring attitude usually helps pet parents be relieved I follow they’re list of advice and take the time to follow those instructions. I currently work full-time from 5am-1:30pm. I’m available from 2pm-7pm. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends I am available earlier in the morning 7-8am. I am a home body and spend most of my time at home. I usually potty the dogs before I head to work, right after I come home from work 2pm-ish and between 6-7pm before I head to bed. Feeding time is around 4-5pm. And during the time I play or keep them company on the couch. I have a fenced backyard that is closed for them to run around, potty or to relax in. I’m always within several feet distance of being outside with my own dogs or my own dog.
“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!!!”
“Greyson took great care of Marlowe and my home. Most importantly, Marlowe was happy upon my return...meaning he felt safe and cared for during my time away! Thanks Greyson!”
About: I have had pets my entire life including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and gerbils! I currently have a Shetland Sheepdog who does best as the only pet, but I really miss caring for cats and other small creatures. I have experience pet sitting a variety of animals including cats, dogs, fish, chickens, parakeets and parrots. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make multiple visits to your home per day to ensure your pet is doing well! I can do very early mornings or late nights as well, if preferred or needed. I have experience caring for pets in others homes and make sure all tasks are completed and to spend some time with your pet at each visit.
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.
“Cayde took great care of everything while we were out for a few days, it felt like having a friend watch the house. My dog loved all the snuggles and attention, and my cat appreciated that Cayde respected her space 😂 Great communication and left the house looking amazing, I'd happily have Cayde petsit again!”
“This is the second time Riley has watched Winston for me outside of walking him and she has consistently gone above and beyond for me. She is communicative about any challenges and always patient with my busy schedule, not to mention wonderful to Winston. I highly recommend her for walks or stays!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats for my entire life, and I love spending time with and caring for them properly. I have a senior extra large dog and a very fussy and picky cat, so I have spent a lot of time researching their safety and paying attention to their preferences to make them as happy as possible. I would love to share my love and attention for your babies as well! I am not currently working, so I have all the time in the world! I do still have my boys to take care of, but I will make sure your pets are as much of a priority as I make my own when I can! My pets have regular vet care and check ups, and have everything they need (including me) at their disposal whenever they need it. Unfortunately I cannot host any pets in my home due to my cats temperament, but I’m happy to be wherever I’m needed!
“I've now had Stephanie over to care for my babies too many times to count! She sends me photos and a little note every day, and my kitties are the same as when I left them. Very grateful!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Shoreline is $65

Aryana is fantastic. She brings a calm, patient, and kind energy that is perfect match for my high-spirited lab, Dragon. Beyond her wonderful way with animals, she is organized, professional, and super responsive. The detailed info she provided was much appreciated. I highly recommend her.
Davied has been great! We got back home and can certainly tell from our puppy's behavior that he had fun with Davied! Davied has been very communicative throughout and sent us pictures and updates daily. We are nervous dog parents, our puppy needs daily medications that need to be administered at exact time with exact relation to food as well, he is also a dog that needs exercise and cannot be left alone too long. Davied has been fantastic and has done really everything we needed and above! On top of that, he left the house nice and clean! We are really happy and we will certainly call Davied on our next trip.
Michelle took such great care of our girl Rosie! She was very communicative and provided detailed updates twice a day with many pictures. Rosie is a rescue and is still nervous around new people, but Michelle went above and beyond to make sure Rosie was comfortable and felt safe. She even offered to pick up more treats when she realized we had a low supply! I could tell by the end that Rosie loved Michelle and was giving her all of the snuggles. Our house was nice and clean when we got home and during her stay, Michelle let us know about a leak under the sink and even cleaned up after it! We highly recommend Michelle and would love to use her services again! Thank you for your wonderful care of our girl, we are so grateful!
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!
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

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.
