“Shayla did a wonderful job with taking care of our dog and our house while we were away. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone which I really appreciated. Our dog seemed very happy and liked Shayla. Our house was spotless when we came home. We felt very comfortable having her here and would recommend her to anyone to take care of their pets.”

“Allison is amazing! She is so attentive to our dog’s energy and quirks and is so thoughtful about caring for her. She pays a lot of attention to our instructions and makes sure our girl is happy and comfy the whole time. She is extremely communicative and sends a lot of photos and updates. She also takes great care of the space. Absolutely would feel great having her take care of our pup any time!”

“Lani took excellent care of my high energy Lab while I was out of town for the weekend. This was my dog’s first time with a sitter, and I was very nervous because my dog is highly active, needy, sometimes anxious, very bonded to me, and used to me being with me all the time. Lani was able to meet all of her needs and make her feel comfortable while I was away. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and sent regular updates and photos. I’m so thankful!”

“Ryland was excellent, attentive, and so caring! We got lots of photos and updates about our dog, and we were so reassured that all was well. He took wonderful care of our home and we'll be sure to book him again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have helped take care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, including a puppy, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I can also do overnights! I have experience with rescue dogs and dogs from abusive households - I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs different levels of patience and attention. I love animals and always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have two dogs- a Black Mouth Cur named Koa who was a rescue from Hawaii and an Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees Mix named Chung from a shelter in Tacoma. I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe while their owners are away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I also have experience with rescue dogs and understand the importance of patience when working with shy or nervous pets.
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy as a dog sitter, and I can't express enough how impressed I am with her level of preparedness and experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a deep understanding of canine behavior and care. A delightful bonus was when Wendy brought her sweet dog, Honey Pie, along. My dogs got along wonderfully, and Honey Pie's friendly demeanor made the transition smooth for my dogs. It was heartwarming to see them all play together. Wendy’s extensive experience with dogs was evident in everything she did. She was well-prepared with all the necessary supplies and created a safe and engaging environment for my pets. It gave me peace of mind knowing that my dogs were in such capable hands.”

“Beth house sat, taking care of our dog and rabbit for a long weekend and we will for sure ask her to house sit again! She was great at communicating, sending updates and pictures throughout her stay and put us at ease ahead of time through the meet and greet that our pets would be in great hands. We came back to happy pets who had clearly been well cared for as well as having left our house clean & tidy and in the same state as when we left. Our dog especially clearly took a shine to her, camping out in the guest room the first day after she left! Thank you Beth!”

“Eunice is so wonderful! She understood my directions really well, asked a lot of questions beforehand, and it looks like Eddie had a lot of fun hanging out with her too. By the time I came back from vacation he was well fed and bright eyed. I can't wait to book Eunice again!”

“Natasha was wonderful! We met her first and knew right away she would take care of our pup with great care. While we were away, Natasha sent us daily notes and pictures of how Whisky was doing. Playing with her dog, Jasper, was an added bonus for Whisky! We will definitely be having Natasha come stay with Whisky again! Thank you Natasha! Our trip was worry free 😊”

About: Hi, my name is Amber-rae, I am 22 years old and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve cared for everything from barnyard animals to beloved family pets since I was 9 years old. Dogs have always been by my side, and I welcomed my very own pup into my life at just 10 years old. With a lifetime of experience, I know how to keep tails wagging, paws moving, and pets happy, safe, and loved. We’ve got two beautiful boy cats at home who are our only pets at the moment. But i often care for my mothers dogs, she has 6 of them, four little Havaneese and two giant mastiffs At home our cats have free roam or the house and are only sometimes locked in their bedroom (the bathroom) because that’s where their food and litter box is. They’re given plenty snuggles and love, especially from my daughter, they love to play and cuddle on her bedroom floor. As for a clients animal, I will follow whichever routine is given for each animal (cat or dog) Whether it’s playing fetch, simply feeding them or going for a walk.
“Dennis was a fantastic sitter. Excellent and regular communication, and he demonstrated real care for our dogs. He was flexible and easy to work with, and the dogs loved him. We will definitely use Dennis again!”

“Paula was perfect for our girls! She was very attentive and we felt incredibly comfortable with how she handled each dog with expertise and care. Our dogs were happy in all their pictures she sent and she was great at communicating to let us know they were all good through the visit! We would absolutely book Paula again!”


About: I work remotely as a RN, which gives me flexibility to care for your animal and home during the day and night. I have 30 years experience with horses, dogs, cats, and a variety of other farm animals. I’m comfortable with care of puppies to seniors and those with medical needs. My typical day M-F has work meetings and projects. This allows for flexibility to play with your pet, offer snuggles, and get outside! Weekends are low key for me and can generally flex to make things work best for your needs. I currently don’t have any animals of my own and would love to focus on yours! If I’m house sitting and your pup or kitty likes field trips and mixing things up, and it’s appropriate, we may go on a safe adventure . We sometimes stop over to my place and hike the forest next door , or some other cool trail on the island , or perhaps hit the beach, or a dog friendly store for treats. Otherwise we stick to your neighborhood and routine.
“Jeff is so great! We have used him for both boarding and house sitting which have both gone very well. He's my dogs new bestie and a friendly very caring individual who is very flexible to the needs of your pups which we really appreciate. He's quickly become our first choice for rover services. Thanks jeff!”

I am currently unemployed & actively searching for work, for the time being I have open availability to take care of your pet whenever with timely booking :) I am able to feed, walk, play with any of your pets in your home and will be respectful of your privacy as well. I have lived around animals my whole life and have so much love for animals, I will take care of them like my own
“Sarah was great with my new puppy. When I originally booked I had a senior dog as well, and unfortunately I had to put him down the day that Sarah was arriving. She was understanding, and flexible with my time change, and kindly provided a refund since she would only be watching one dog. She communicated very well while we were away and kept me updated with pictures. She was also flexible when we ended up coming home a few hours later than originally scheduled. She stayed in our home with our puppy and I would not hesitate to use her again.”

Paige is an excellent communicator and awesome person! Our dogs immediately feel in love with her and she was so good about getting their energy out every day. She went above and beyond in watching them & cleaning and we are so grateful she stepped in last minute to watch our pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the Kitsap area. We’re excited to have her back soon!
