“My cats obviously loved Gargi! My semi-feral, shy Jasper hides from EVERYone, but not from Gargi! She may be the only other person who can pet him. It’s so important to have someone the cats like and trust. I hope Gargi will be available every time I travel.”

About: My pets aren’t just animals, they’re my babies. I consider myself a pet parent rather than simply a pet owner, and that’s exactly how I’ll care for yours. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with a member of your family, so I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved until you’re home again. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. I care for my two dogs and cat daily, so adding your pet to my routine feels natural. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I know every pet is different, so I’ll follow your care instructions exactly to help maintain their routine and reduce stress. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. As a pet parent, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I don’t consider my pets “just pets”—they’re my babies, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Also, I want to keep this option available. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized, and I always supervise introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. If your pet needs their own space, I’m happy to separate pets or crate them if that’s part of their normal routine.

“David is an outstanding dog sitter! He’s incredibly reliable, always communicates promptly, and takes amazing care of our dog, Sassy. He’s consistently on time and has saved us on multiple occasions when unexpected events kept us away longer than planned. David genuinely cares for Sassy, and we couldn’t ask for anyone better. Highly recommend!”

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.

My passion for animals began at a young age, and since I was 12, I’ve been providing reliable pet care services to people and their furry friends in my neighborhood. My services include dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs, cats and exotics, ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I take pride in providing compassionate, dependable care and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am currently a senior high school student, but have plenty of time to pay visits to your furry friend! I offer my availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursday, Friday’s from 3PM onward.. My Wednesdays I offer ability from 2PM onward. My weekend I offer availability from 12PM onward. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, secure, and treating it with the same care I would my own. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Working at a vet clinic as both a receptionist and cross-training to be a vet assistant, I'm very used to caring for and being around all sorts of pups, big and small, young and old! I love to take them on walks and interact with them where I can, and I'm no stranger to the dirty work involved with our furry friends. I'm able to administer medications when needed, and I also am well-versed in fear-free care methods. I've had a lot of time to understand dog's social cues and needs, and while I may not be a behavior expert, I can certainly pick up on when a dog is upset, needs space, or is ready to leave a situation. I'm currently working full-time at a vet clinic, four days a week! I like to use my time after work or on my days off to help more dogs and cats in my downtime. I also have a kitty at home, so I can't be away too long, but she's already used to me coming home smelling like other pets! I can't care for pets in my own home since I live in a small apartment with my cat, but I can certainly care for your pets whenever, wherever, and however they're most comfortable!

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.

About: Having had two dogs and one cat of my own, I understand the deep bonds we share with our loved ones. I bring that personal connection to my role as a loving and attentive pet caretaker, ensuring your furry family members receive the same care and affection as my own. I've temporarily stepped away from my corporate career, granting me a flexible schedule to focus on Pawfect Paws. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a dedicated drop-in visit, your pet is my top priority! Pawfect Paws offers regular check-ins for meals, potty, fun playtime, and leisurely walks. I aim to establish a cozy, trusted and safe environment, while also accommodating any special needs or routines they may have.

About: - Lifelong pet owner with 20 years of experience in animal care. - Licensed animal massage therapist. - Experienced in providing in-home drop-ins, dog walking, and administering medication. - Highly reliable and trustworthy, with a genuine love for animals. - Experienced in providing care for all types of dogs, both small and large, young and old. - Self-employed with flexible schedule. I am fully self-employed so my schedule is flexible for most situations. I can drop in to care for (or walk) your pet while you are at work or away for extended periods of time. I always send daily photos to show they are being loved while you are gone! No one knows your pet better than you, so I always make sure I pay attention and heed the advice and instructions of the owner about how their pet likes to be treated. Some dogs love to be played with and perform tricks to get treats, while other dogs are nervous or in the process of learning not to jump on people when they first walk in. Likewise, cats have very different personalities and must be treated as indiviuals. Some cats run to the door like a dog to be greeted and picked up, while others would prefer to be left alone since you are not their human (though I usually win them over quickly!).

About: I've had experience working with both cats and dogs of various sizes and breeds. I have experience dog walking, dog sitting and giving various medications to animals. Along with feeding animals with different dietary needs. I'm really friendly and patient towards dogs who are shy or nervous! For dog sitting I'm comfortable going to your house if that works easier! Currently in my internship year for grad school so I have availability two and half days out of the week and availability on weekends! I am will to be flexible. Caring for pets in their own home starts with pet-proofing the space by securing windows, removing toxic plants, and clearing away hazardous objects. I maintain a safe environment by strictly adhering to the pet's regular feeding and exercise routine to minimize stress. Throughout my visits, I observe their body language closely to ensure they remain comfortable and calm. I also keep emergency veterinary information readily accessible and provide the owner with consistent updates on the pet's well-being.

Merddyn took care of Sir Domino and Maddie while I was away visiting family, and she was wonderful! She was communicative, empathetic, and you can tell she really understands cats. I shared Domi and Maddie’s different personality traits with her, and she made sure to respect their boundaries while giving them the time and space to warm up to a new sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing and their eating patterns and even let me know when I was starting to run low on food. I felt very comfortable knowing Domi and Maddie were in her care. I would definitely book with Merddyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive cat sitter!

Nora is the best of the best! My husband and I went on a long trip, worried about the impact on our young cats, being away for nearly three weeks. Nora gave them lots of affection, playtime, and honored their individual personalities. Reports and photos eased my mind. The cats were relaxed and content when we returned. I could not have asked for more. Household needs were taken care of well. We are grateful to Nora for their skill and kindness.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Shoreline

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shoreline is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. 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 11,937 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shoreline. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shoreline. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
