“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.”
“Everything went fine, Wenlin kept the pups happy and comfortable in their own home. We had a scare where a raisin muffin wented missing. Wenlin immediately contacted my emergency numbers and had to do extra duty to take both dogs to ER and then monitor the culprit. Appreciated the communication and photos.”
“Marcie charmed my challenging dog in minutes. I received multiple updates and now they are best friends. Highly recommend! I will have her housesit again.”
“My dog has loved boarding will Elle for several years, but this was our first time with house-sitting. Elle was a great house guest! Everything was left super clean, nicer than it started. Elle took the time to listen to listen to all my instructions through a long tour of the house on the first day. She made sure to send me updates that evening after I nervously left my dog behind, as well as throughout the stay, of the fun things they were doing together.”
“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!”
“Van did a great job watching our dog Nina and set our minds completely at ease. It was clear that Nina was very comfortable and well looked after by Van, and we enthusiastically recommend her!”
“This was our third time having Jeanne stay with our cat, but the first time we left her for two weeks, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jeanne is incredibly attentive and just seems to get it. She notices the little things, asks questions when something doesn't seem right, and sent us pictures and updates every day. Our cat is very demanding and likes a lot of attention and playtime, and Jeanne was great about spending a lot of time with her and keeping her company. More than anything, she understands what it means to leave a pet you love with someone else. Having someone who understands that and keeps us updated without us having to ask made it so much easier to be away. She's also extremely respectful of our home and always leaves everything clean and exactly as she found it. We ended up needing to extend our stay by a night at the last minute, and she was flexible and stayed an extra night. We're really happy we found Jeanne and will absolutely ask her to house sit for our kitty 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!!!”
“Tyler took wonderful care of our dog and kept her company and kept her safe during the fireworks for the holiday! We will be happy to have him stay with her again :)”
“We can’t say enough good things about Mary! She was absolutely wonderful—so loving and attentive to our dogs, and clearly treated them like her own. She took amazing care of them while we were away, and even helped us out with a last-minute extension to our trip without hesitation. We trust her beyond measure and will absolutely book her every time we need a sitter. Thank you, Mary, for your kindness, flexibility, and the peace of mind you gave us while we were away!”
“Kiki is always so wonderful to work with! She is so thoughtful and sends lots of detailed updates. She even organized a puppy play date for us, during a house sitting, getting approval from all owners first and then monitored the puppy play time. It was great to have our pup interacting with another dog that Kiki knew well. We are always looking for ways to socialize our dog and Kiki facilitated a safe experience. Thank you!!”
“Highly recommend Sean as a house sitter and pet care taker extraordinaire. ! We call ourselves the zoo. 2 labs ( 6years and 1 1/2 yo ) and a 7 year old cat named Tucker. He played with them, took them on walks and actually got Tucker who is stand offish to bond with him. House was impeccable, he sent videos and updates and genuinely was an amazing sitter. He brought his dog over for play dates and our boys loved it. High recommend Sean!”
“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!”
“Jason came over for a meet and greet ahead of time. He was early, took notes and was very confident and positive. Most importantly, I got plenty of messages and pictures to know my sweet 60lb pit/mix rescues weren’t wasting away pining for me while I was away one night. I’m only being slightly sarcastic bc I am quite the helicopter dog mama. Jason made me feel like my girls were in good hands.”
“Deyaneira was so helpful, kind and caring with our pets. She was able to take our request within 2 days to hangout with our pets for a day. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which I always appreciate. Deyaneira was punctual and communicative, and she was an overall good guest to have in our house. My dogs and I liked her so much we already booked another stay!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Michelle was amazing, would definitely use her again:) Her updates were very informative and great pics. Felt very relaxed on our trip knowing our pups and cat were being well cared for.”
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.

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.
This is our third time having Kristy stay at our home to care for our dog. She is always very communicative, takes care of our house very well and sends plenty of updates. She follows all our instructions and archie is always so happy to see her so we know she takes good care of him every time she comes to stay! Our dog is a high needs pet and takes multiple medications a day (at times not easily) and Kristy always does her best to get him to take the meds, even going out of her way to offer different “pill pocket” options to make sure he takes them on schedule. We feel at ease leaving our dog with Kristy because we know he’s in good hands :)
Alyaa was absolutely wonderful! We were away for an extended trip, and knowing that Sassy and our home were in such good hands made it so much easier for us to relax and enjoy our vacation. She took such great care of Sassy, was incredibly communicative, sent us updates, and made sure our girl was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Anyone with a cat knows they have their own little routines, preferences, and very strong opinions and Alyaa handled everything beautifully. Not to mention Sassy needs medication and Alyaa was able to give her what she needed effortlessly. She also took wonderful care of our house while we were gone, which was such an added bonus. We came home to a happy cat and a well-cared-for home, exactly what you hope for when you’re traveling. Alyaa is dependable, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. We would absolutely have her watch Sassy and our home again and would recommend her without hesitation. Five stars from us, and, perhaps more importantly, Sassy approves! 🐾❤️ Thank you Alyaa!
This was our third time having Jeanne stay with our cat, but the first time we left her for two weeks, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jeanne is incredibly attentive and just seems to get it. She notices the little things, asks questions when something doesn't seem right, and sent us pictures and updates every day. Our cat is very demanding and likes a lot of attention and playtime, and Jeanne was great about spending a lot of time with her and keeping her company. More than anything, she understands what it means to leave a pet you love with someone else. Having someone who understands that and keeps us updated without us having to ask made it so much easier to be away. She's also extremely respectful of our home and always leaves everything clean and exactly as she found it. We ended up needing to extend our stay by a night at the last minute, and she was flexible and stayed an extra night. We're really happy we found Jeanne and will absolutely ask her to house sit for our kitty again.

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.
<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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
