“Katherine and Brian are a gem! They took such great care of our dogs. One of our dogs is very timid, but Katherine and Brian were able to gain her trust very quickly. We are so grateful to have found them to take care of our doggos when we are away. They also left our place immaculate and even prepared a delicious meal for us. Thank you so much!”
“We appreciate everything Lisa does for us! She’s so thoughtful, attentive to our dog, and she always gives her the best adventures! She is so nice and easy to work with :)”
About: I’m new to Rover! I love animals! Theres a dulplicated review glitch on my profile so if anyone can give me a chance to care for your little ones I’d be grateful. I grew up surrounded by family pets. Whenever my parents went out for vacations I would stay at their house to spend time and care for their pets. From walks to feeding and quality time snuggles; I've been blessed to care for and love the beautiful creatures we've been graced to be in companionship with. I don't have any special training, but I love animals and will treat your family with as much care as I would treat my own. I can't wait to meet and care for your animals as well! I'm currently looking for work so I'm very free at the moment. I've loved animals since I was very young so if I could get more into pet care I'd love that. I don't have a place of my own to take care of pets. However, I have taken care of pets in other houses quite often over the years. Your house is your safe place. As someone who is introverted, I know how important a safe place is. With that in mind, I will treat your home with same respect and sanctity that I treat my own if I visit to care for your little ones. Any rules and/or guidelines for your property, I will follow to the best of my abilities to ensure you come back to the same, if not better home than you left from. With regard to your pets at home, you can tell me freely what things there are to keep in mind. The more I know about your pet, the better quality of service I can provide you and your pet with. I am open to discussions about home care options as well, if that is something you are looking for. (Things like yard care, cleaning, etc.)
“Erica took very good care of our two labs and cat! It was so nice to come home to a clean house with the laundry done! We look forward to our next vacation and will definitely have her back!”
“I have never had to find a new person to watch my dog before and it was my first time using Rover. I chose Valerie based off her reviews, experience with senior and anxious dogs, and availability. I think she should add anxious humans to that as well because she did an amazing job with communicating while I was away as well as assuring me that Ollie was well taken care of. I booked her for an overnight stay so that my dog had someone with her while I was out of town. I got lots of updates and photos about how my dog was doing and she was extremely flexible with adjusting her care based off of her needs. I had to be away from home for the 4th of July and I'm very happy with having Valerie there to make sure my dog was safe and comfortable. She even provided some extra treats and calming chews to help when the fireworks started. I'm very grateful for the valuable care she was able to provide and plan to book with her again.”
“Michael is hands down amazing. We had him our home for 4 night to care after my 2 dogs. We was very communicative, professional, nice, caring and VERY compassionate towards my dogs. One of my dogs has a lot of anxiety issues but the second Michael walked in, my dog was instantly happy and excited which I’ve never seen before with a man. Michael sent pictures and videos and took them for extra long walks! Thank you Michael, and we’ll definitely be booking with you again soon!”
“Codi does a great job with our two cats and two dogs. She went above and beyond with our new kitten. My pets are always happy to see Codi when she arrives and doesn’t want her to leave when we return. She sends us lots of photo updates during her stay.”
“Penny did an amazing job with our anxious rescue dog. She was patient and let Lucy approach her in her own time and went above and beyond to make Lucy feel safe and secure. We will definitely be requesting her for future jobs. Thanks, Penny!”
“Cara was so considerate and amazing when our original sitter cancelled last minute. I really appreciate it - she went above and beyond for us and Luna. Thank you and we’d love to book again!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and actually my first time being away from my dog Niko. I was so fortunate to have Amanda accept the house sitting and dog watching opp! Could tell right away that she's a kind and honest person and perfect to spend some time with Niko. Amanda's communication was top-notch and she answered all of my questions. During her time with Niko she sent me lots of photos and videos of all the adventures from the weekend! Niko split the time between Amanda's house and mine and when I got home the house was super clean. Amanda went above and beyond and I look forward to working with her again. Niko def misses her and the weekend experiences.”
“Annette was amazing! She is definitely on top of things and the pups loved her. Would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for house sitting. Extremely communicative! Thanks so much.”
“Heather was beyond perfect! She was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had and I can’t say enough good things about her! I’m so incredibly grateful for how good she was with my dogs! She spent a lot of time with them and walked them 3 times a day which was exactly what I wanted! She helped my anxious dogs feel happy and loved! She sent many updates and followed my food instructions to an T! She sent many pictures which was amazing!! She even did the dishes I left in the sink! Just fantastic! If you need a sitter pick Heather! You won’t be disappointed!! 1000000/10 recommend!!”
“Tabutha provided excellent care for all our animals and we came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left. We will look for an opportunity to have her help us again.”
“Jordynn was an amazing house sitter and wonderful with our two large dogs and two cats while we were away. She was very communicative, reliable and our animals loved her. We will definitely contact Jordynn again in the future.”
“Ariana did an amazing job. She was very proactive with status updates and kept me informed daily about everything Dexter was up to. I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free knowing my dog was in good hands. 10/10, will book again.”
“Brandon did a great job caring for my Golden Retriever! He sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout the whole time I was gone. I came home to a tidy house and a happy dog. Will definitely use him again!”
“Autumn did a wonderful job watching our dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs responded great to her and she is clearly very comfortable and knowledgeable with dogs. She kept in constant communication with us, provided us with great pictures, and promptly let us know of any concerns she had with their routines and habits. I would not hesitate to seek help from Autumn again and I definitely recommend her services!”
“Yali was amazing. She was so tentative to the dogs and our home. We received frequent photo updates and videos from her! Honestly, I think our dogs are a little sad that we are home and that Yali is leaving them. 10/10 recommend using her for pet services. She loves your dogs as her own. I feel like to have found her on Rover”

Alyssa is absolutely amazing! Our circumstances changed during our booked time and Alyssa was incredibly understanding and flexible. She took great care of our pets and sent many pictures. Our dog went on many daily walks and she took the time to play with both the cat and dog during her visits. She communicates consistently and took away the stress of being away from our fur babies. We couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her for any future trips.
Kaitlyn was great. She took care of our pups while we were gone and did an amazing job! She also made sure our chickens were fed and watered as well as our plants. We felt completely comfortable with her caring for everything while gone and would hire her again! Thanks Kaitlyn!
I don't really want to give Michael a great review because I want to keep him all for myself! He did an amazing job! Paco, my small chihuahua, is leery of men and Michael completely won him over! He was at my home the entire time and my house was spotless when I returned.
Mary Elizabeth was kind, thorough and attentive to our pets. We would certainly choose her again as a sitter. She went above and beyond, even taking out the trash and ensuring our home was clean before our return. Her responsiveness, and photos of our fur babies while we were away, gave us the reassurance they were in good hands.
Karina stayed in home with our two dogs & reptiles for a week. She sent updates and cute photos of each pet. Super great at communication and treated our pets as her own. So happy we could trust our home and fur (plus scaley) pet babies with her without worry.
Waylon was amazing! He took care of our two beagles and home for about two weeks while we were on vacation, and I can’t recommend him enough. He was communicative, responsive, sent photos of the boys, and took excellent care of our home. We can’t wait to rebook with him. Oh, and he administered medication to our epileptic dog and took the boys on daily walks. Such a greater sitter- I think the boys miss him! Thank you, Waylon!
Sarah did a 10/10 j9b taking care of our two dogs and cat. She treated them like family and her communication, animal love, and attention to taking care of our home was top notch. Will be using hiring her whenever we can. She has our complete trust. THANK YOU SARAH! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Zoe is THE BEST! She stayed at our home with our pets for a 2 week trip out of the country for our wedding and honeymoon. During that time our cat Frederick had a pretty severe accident that required emergency vet care. Zoe and her husband Jerin were on their way to the vet with Frederick in less than 10 minutes after they discovered his injury. Frederick ended up needing immediate surgery and an overnight stay. They picked him up the next day and then provided amazing aftercare for the remaining week we were gone. Zoe made it possible for us to enjoy our wedding and time after with minimal worry. She truly cared for our pets and especially Frederick with gentleness and compassion. She kept us updated on his recovery and sent picture of him looking quite content and comfortable. This is our 5th time hiring Zoe and her calm and clear head during a scary incident has cemented her as our #1 choice for a house/pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Port Orchard
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Port Orchard on Rover is $88.57 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,895 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Port Orchard. 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 East Port Orchard 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 East Port Orchard 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 East Port Orchard 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.
