“It was so nice to know we had a reliable, kind and experienced pet sitter! Amy took care of our two dogs, cat, and gecko and sent great pictures during her stay. We were lucky to have her!”
“Alex was awesome! She was very nice and attentive to detail. We really appreciated her good communication and updates about our cat throughout our trip. We would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“Mia was awesome sitting with our 10 month old, frisky puppy. She understood his personality immediately so he felt comfortable with her right away. And so did we. Despite the freezing cold, Mia was on time and took him outside several times. We highly recommend Mia!”
“Louisa was kind, responsive and took extra care to come to our hotel to watch our dog on our wedding day. We could not recommend her more highly 💜”
“Wow! Annika was an amazing and attentive pet sitter to our two very active dogs! She had no issues with giving our older dog his seizure medication and was keen on following our recommended guidelines for walking and training that we’ve been working on. Our dogs were well taken care of. We got many picture updates of our pups which also made us feel good! We will definitely be booking Annika next time we are out of town!”
“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”
“Brenda was amazing!!! She took great care of our house and our cats. Sent pictures and updates, and left the house cleaner than she found it. 😁 We needed last minute help, and she was so flexible and accommodating! I would not hesitate to hire her again!”
“Great dog sitter — would definitely use again. Appreciated the communication, great photos, and attention to detail. Misha was happy and content when we came home. Thanks, Dustin!”
“Anna is a fantastic dog sitter who goes above and beyond for her clients. Before having Anna sit for us for the first time, she made the effort to come by and visit our pup. This was so important for there reasons: 1. Gave our pup the opportunity to become friends with Anna; 2. Allowed our dog to feel comfortable in her home with this new friend; and 3. Gave us the opportunity to show Anna where the important things for our dog are in the house. Anna is prompt and communicative. She gave us photo and text updates throughout her visit. She is clearly a kind and respectful person and dogs seem to love her immediately. I will most definitely reach out to Anna again for any dog sitting/house sitting occasions.”
“Ray is amazing! Any fur baby would be lucky to have her as a sitter. Our senior pup, Ralphie, fell in love with her! She lovingly cared for him and even sent us updates and photos while we were away. She was very professional and we would never hesitate leaving our dog with her again!”
“I interact with you very well, and vice versa. You are our go-to sitter of all time, now with Teddy as with Cindy. You are so tender and wise with our dogs.”
“Justine was so great with my pups! One of my dogs has special needs and the other is anxious and shy around new people, and Justine won them both over and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. I plan on being a repeat customer!”
“Our most trusted sitter. Our pup loves him! He gives him lots of exercise and attention. Whenever I'm out of town, Nate is the first person I think of to watch my dog. Can't recommend him enough”
“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
“Katie took excellent care of our dogs and our home. We felt very comfortable with her and the dogs took to her right away. She took them for walks and sent pictures too! Thank you Katie!”
“Grace was very responsible and responsive from the meet and greet to wrapping up the stay. Grace stayed with our two pups and cat for a weekend and everything went smoothly. Our one dog was recovering from an IVDD flareup with some special care needs and Grace handled everything perfectly.”
“Tatyana did a great job with our three dogs who range in size from a 90 lb German shepherd down to a 25 lb mutt. She sent pictures and videos, and with it being the first time she watched our dogs, it made me feel 100x more comfortable. We also had one dog who needed to take medication that she ensured was administered.”
“River did a great job with our three dogs. He was prompt with replies, arrival, and giving exceptional care to them all. We look forward to future pet sitting from River and highly recommend him to anyone who needs the best care for their pets!! Thanks River!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood Hills
Helen stayed at our home and took wonderful care of our pets. She was a great communicator before, during and after her stay. We received regular updates and photos of our pets, which was really comforting. Helen was conscientious and careful about following the instructions we provided. She left our house and animals in great condition! We'd love to have her back to sit again!
Brooke did an amazing job taking care of my dog and house sitting for me! This is the first time I have used Rover. My dog is an 11 year old "only dog" and can be a finicky around new people in the home. When I returned after 3.5 days away my flat was in great condition and Jordy was in great spirits! Not nervous, fearful, overly panting or any of the other signs that he had experienced any kind of distress. This is what I wanted. Someone I could trust with my dog and my home. Also loved the pics she sent of their walks! 10/10 would recommend Brooke to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, animal-friendly with a calm and happy energy for your pet/s.
We are so glad to have met Sophie! In addition to being a strong communicator, Sophie has a genuine desire to ensure your fur baby is well taken care of. She asks great questions, is detail-oriented, and is great about sending updates while you're away. I highly recommend Sophie and would definitely book her again!
Zachary was an incredibly great fit for our high energy 8-month-old-puppy and open to jumping in last minute after boarding plans feel through. We could not have asked for a better housesitter! Incredibly communicative, respectful, easy-going, and open to taking care of our young dog’s needs. Thank you so much for easing our minds and taking care of our boy. Highly recommend!
Louisa did a wonderful job taking care of our two Labrador pups. She let them play in the yard, took them for a walk, gave them their evening treats, and shared some great photos for us to enjoy. It was another excellent experience, and we appreciated the care and attention she gave our dogs. We would be happy to book with Louisa again!
Aislinn was absolutely wonderful!!! She is great with communication and took the time going above and beyond to care for my pup! I’d highly recommend and hope she can help out in the future! Even my neighbor commented on how much time she spent throughout the weekend playing with Henry in the yard and making sure he was tired out before leaving :-) Thank you!
Wow! Annika was an amazing and attentive pet sitter to our two very active dogs! She had no issues with giving our older dog his seizure medication and was keen on following our recommended guidelines for walking and training that we’ve been working on. Our dogs were well taken care of. We got many picture updates of our pups which also made us feel good! We will definitely be booking Annika next time we are out of town!
Alaina is a fantastic dog sitter! Our two pups are always so excited to see her and enthusiastically greet her at the door every time she arrives. She spends quality time playing with them in the yard and clearly cares about their happiness and well-being. Alaina is also an excellent communicator, keeping us informed about timing and any needed adjustments while providing thoughtful options when plans need to change. We appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the genuine care she shows our dogs. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Shorewood Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shorewood Hills on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 849 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shorewood Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
