“Kristin did a great job communicating while she stayed at our home to watch our pup. She sent updates at a nice frequency, and my husband and I were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our home and our dog were in great hands!”
“Our dogs loved being with Victoria while we were away on a trip! It was our first time having someone watch them in our house, but it went really smoothly and the daily updates provided us with the peace of mind that they were doing well. We would love to have her watch our dogs the next time we are away!”
About: Ive taken care of animals ever since I was young, starting on my grandparents farm I grew up learning how to take care of many types of animals and would love to continue to do so in my free time.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember! Since I was a kid, I’ve helped care for family, friends’, and other owners’ dogs. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and love. I’m committed to providing safe, reliable care so both you and your dog can feel comfortable and confident while you're apart. I work part-time in June so I have plenty of time on my half days to walk/care for your dog! In July I’m mostly free to spend the day, take care, and play with your Pup. Whatever your dog needs, I want to make sure we follow. I'm happy to continue any of the recommended routines to help reduce stress and keep things consistent. I already try to be very careful with day-to-day management, such as keeping bathroom doors closed and making sure food isn't left accessible in the kitchen. Even if those things aren't currently an issue, they're still dogs and can get into things, so I do my best to stay proactive.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Autumn! She stayed at our home to take care of our dog, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Our senior dog can sometimes be a little shy with new people and anxious while we’re away, but she warmed up right away thanks to Autumn’s kind and patient approach. Autumn was able to give her, her meds on schedule as well. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup! It’s clear Autumn genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were their own. We feel lucky to have found such a reliable and caring sitter and will absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommended! Thank you Autumn!”
“Desiree did a great job! Our dog, Derby, seemed so happy with her! She sent lots of cute pics of Derby living her best life! House was very clean as well upon our return! We would definitely use Desiree again!❤️”
“Catarina is awesome! She stayed with our cat and dog for 3 days and provided cute pictures and videos. You could tell they were very well cared for while we were gone 😊. We will definitely ask her to house/pet sit for future trips!! Five stars for sure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: Hi, my name is Annalyse and I am 18 years old. I grew up around lots of animals, including dogs, so I have plenty of experience, and I can’t wait to help you and your furry friend!! I can do a variety of services and am willing to do same day services when I am able!! I currently work for the city of Chanhassen as a park camp leader, and pet sitting is just a fun side job!! I am looking forward to pet sitting in my free time, but it is not my main job, however I hope to provide quality care to you and your pets!! All pets need different levels and types of care, but all deserve love. I am willing to do any service except for boarding, as my current home does not allow dogs. I can do house sitting as well as over night stays, however I would request a meetup prior to either of those services to get to know you guys!!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood
Lola is the best!! She watched all three of our dogs while we were out of town for a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was very communicative, sending photo updates of our pups, and was comfortable administering one of our pup’s meds/daily ear cleaning needs. We would recommend Lola as a pet sitter to anyone and hope to use her again in the future!
Catherine was fabulous with our dog and was a great house sitter too…we came home to a happy pup and a clean home! We loved her amazing communication and the pictures she sent while we were away. We enjoyed our trip knowing he was being well cared for! Highly recommend Catherine for pet sitting!
Our puppy Bjorn was so well taken care of by Sidney and Ronja! They were so friendly, easy going, flexible and accommodating! We received updates and photos and couldn't be happier with the stay. This was our puppy's first time away from us, so we were nervous, and we are so grateful for the great care he received. Thank you so much and would highly recommend (and Bjorn will be back!).

FAQs for House Sitting - Shorewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shorewood on Rover is $85.6 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 3,338 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shorewood. 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 Shorewood 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 Shorewood 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 Shorewood 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.
