About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. Because I work from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, allowing me to offer unmatched attentiveness and flexible scheduling throughout the day. Being steps away at all times means I am always available to maintain strict medication timelines, monitor health cues, and provide companionship whenever it's needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! When caring for your pets in their own home, my absolute priority is maintaining their familiar routine, comfort, and security while ensuring they remain safely inside. Because my own fur babies are inside-only apartment pets, I am naturally vigilant about home safety, secure entryways, and preventing any accidental escapes. I focus on replicating their exact daily schedules, from precise feeding and medication times to their preferred play and rest windows. By providing dedicated, one-on-one attention in the environment where they feel most confident, I ensure they receive both the physical care and the comforting companionship they need to feel completely relaxed and happy while you are away.
About: I have two boys of my own, and I’ve had both of them since they were puppies. My youngest is 7 and my oldest is 13, so I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs through different stages of their lives. I potty trained both of them and learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding are when raising a dog. What makes my experience unique is that I’ve learned to understand dogs beyond just their basic needs. Every dog has a different personality and their own way of communicating, and I take the time to understand what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel cared for. I know dogs are an important part of your family, just like mine are to me. So allow me to be of service and help you and your family whenever you need it. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. My part-time job gives me a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and even evenings. I can work around your schedule and do my best to be there whenever you and your pup need me! In my household, pets are forever the babies of the family, no matter how old they are, how slowly they walk, or how big they may be. I care for every pet in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean space. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or care needs so your pet feels relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and have hands-on experience training and caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 14 year old Pekingese and a 8 year old Husky, which has given me daily experience managing both small and large dogs with very different needs and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and active or prefers a slower pace, I'm comfortable providing safe, attentive care, exercise, and companionship. My background with dogs big and small allows me to adapt to each pet's unique routine and help them feel comfortable and well cared! My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets lots of attention, love, playtime, and exercise. I'm committed to making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way! My number one priority is making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. I understand that every pet adjusts at their own pace, so I give them the time and space they need to build trust and feel at ease. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet companionship. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while helping them feel safe, relaxed, and happy in their familiar environment.

About: With a wealth of experience from owning dogs and cats my whole life and walking/pet-sitting for the past 15 years for dogs of all sizes and demeanors, at the end of the day I just love hanging out with animals! The goal is always to provide loving and informed pet care while making it a fun time for everyone involved :) I’m all for providing care that fits your pet’s specific needs and personality! Specific experience with training puppies and caring for senior dogs in my own home. I work part time remotely with a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of requests! Most days I’m flexible and open with any timing. For services in your home: I'm very respectful and aware of the space and your pet’s needs - never forgetting to shower your pet with love and attention! For services in my home: Your pet will be part of the family and closely looked after while they’re with me. They’ll have comfortable places to rest and hangout inside as well as a fenced yard to use and play in. I have one very sweet dog for them to hang out with too!
“We used Zi for a few days to walk our German Shepherd puppy. She was prompt and gave a great report for our pup. Overall we are happy with the walks and our dog look like she enjoyed them as well.”

“Cassie has been walking our two dogs twice a week, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s attentive and makes sure both dogs get the exercise and care they need. I really appreciate the updates and photos after each walk—it’s clear she genuinely cares about them. Reliable, kind, and professional; we’re lucky to have found her!”

About: While working as a pet groomer we had several pets be left overnight for boarding to which I had to tend to all animals who were left. So I’m already very accustomed to the whole pet boarding regiment and a professional level. I work an overnight schedule to which I’m able to set my own hours or leave at a moments notice should anything occur. I live in Bremerton and work in Bainbridge so I travel through all those cities. I have a big fenced in front and back yard on a lake property in a peaceful cul-de-sac. I’m happy to crate train a pet if need be. I’m also happy to groom your pet if need be.
About: I grew up on a farm in Illinois and have cared for animals my entire life. I have always had a dog or cat (or several!) I have cared for family and friends’ pets for many years as well as my own. And my friends have even called me a dog whisperer. I seem to be able to calm the most nervous pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am a writer working on a long book project and have no set commitments during the day except to take my teenager to and from school. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly small dogs who love other dogs. We also have chickens and bunnies who live in their own little "barns" on our property, with high fences that protect them. Your pup can come to my house if they want to socialize and enjoy our space or if they do better at home I can come your way.
“Ryland is so great with my 10 month old puppy Cooper. Cooper can be a little hesitant with new people but Ryland’s good skills and patience have made Cooper excited to see him! We both appreciate the walks and energy outlet they provide.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have provided loving, committed homes to dogs of all temperaments as an adult — from an animal-aggressive Akita to the sweetest Golden Lab. I understand that every dog is different and deserves care that meets their unique needs. I’ve volunteered as a dog walker with the Kitsap Humane Society and have taken our most recent rescue through both beginner and advanced training classes. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, reading canine body language, and providing calm, consistent care. Friends regularly trust me with their pets while they’re away, and as a dog owner who has also used Rover myself, I truly understand how important communication, reliability, and trust are when someone is caring for your fur baby. When we’re not out enjoying nature together, I’m usually at home or the library with a good book — or planning our next travel adventure. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I currently hold a substitute position with the Kitsap Regional Library, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to prioritize pet care needs. I don’t have dependents, have a reliable vehicle, and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Any personal travel is planned well in advance, so availability is always communicated clearly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I’m tidy, mindful, and attentive to routines, instructions, and any specific care needs. I prioritize safety by following established guidelines, maintaining a calm environment, and paying close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
About: I currently have been working at a doggy day camp/boarding center for about five months now and I love it! I’ve grown up with and been around cats and dogs my whole life (so technically almost 20 years of experience with cats/dogs)! I also work with reactive dogs so I understand them and how to properly handle them. I have done all the shifts at my job but mostly do the mornings so I’m very comfortable with feeding and administering medications if needed! I have handled the smallest to the biggest of dogs, most breeds but all sizes and ages! Before starting at this job, I did some pet sitting and dog walking too. I’m currently working 40 hours a week. I have pretty normal days off, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, my normal shifts are 6-2, Thurs-Mon, sometimes they are different. I could do pretty much anytime on my days off and after my shifts when I do work! I will very regularly update my availability on here, you can also always reach out to me to ask and see if I am available if the calendar says I’m not! :) I have a 10-year-old female Ragdoll that’s been around most of my life, (she is mine), and I live with my parents who have two English Bulldogs! I always make sure that her litter box is clean and fresh for her. I regularly check her food and water to always make sure she has some. She is a quiet independent girl so caring for her isn’t too complicated. My parents dogs are a little bit more complicated. Both of them have daily meds that they need to get and I give it to them when I am needed to. I feed them and take them to go potty and walks very normally!
About: I love my friends’ pets and grew up with pet cats and rescue dogs. After my beloved cat passed suddenly in 2025 I have been pet sitting for friends a lot and enjoy walking their dogs and snuggling with their cats when they go out of town. I may be more of a cat person but I won’t tell your dog :) I have a remote job and prioritize the needs of the pets I’m sitting during my stay. From pets, to walks, to potty breaks, I make sure pets in my care are happy and well tended to. I love walking a lot so dogs that require walks will have a great walking buddy in me. I also love watching movies so cats and dogs will have a great lap in me! Cats and dogs both need play so I will spend time playing with your pet and making sure they feel attended to.
“Mack loved Abby! And bless her for coming to give me a puppy break on such a rainy, cold day. She took Mack for an extended walk and he came back good and tired. Exactly what was needed today!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Central Valley
She did a great job taking care of Cody while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the walks. Cody warmed up to her quickly, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated the care she showed and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.

Rachel and her husband Brendan have been checking in on Lucy while I’m at work since 2024 and I genuinely can’t speak highly enough of them. I work night shift, so one of them would come late at night to let out my pit mix, Lucy while I was working. It’s hard to find someone willing to come in the evening, but Rachel and Brendan were always up to the task. Lucy ADORES both of them and they love her just as much. They’ve become two people I trust completely and even refer to them as Auntie Rachel and Uncle Brendan :) They really are her favorite people. They always sent me pictures and videos of Lucy so I got to see what she was up to which is a nice pick me up while at work. Lucy and I are so lucky to have them in our corner!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Central Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
