House Sitting in Keyport

“We just got home. Everything looks great and thank you for the card and for bringing the garbage can up. Also, thank you for making the bed and stripping it. We do appreciate that.”

“This was my first experience with Lisa and she was wonderful! We set up a meet and greet many months ago and she and Buster hit it off right away. A few weeks before the trip, she reached out again to remind her of where to find stuff and remind Buster of who she was, and again went great. My dog can be a pill especially when walking, he is very reactive to cars and some dogs on walks, so I suggested that she not walk him, so she isn't hurt. She messaged me saying Buster was ancy and asked if she could take him for a short walk and that she had experience walking reactive dogs before, so I said, Go for it! She reported back things went well and I agreed she can go ahead and walk him, which I'm sure really helped him a lot. (My last dog sitter was a friend who really wasn't that experienced with dogs and very petite, so it was just better to not go). After the successful walks, she asked if she could take him with her on some errands, and I said sure, but warned her he will bark at anything that moves so can be a pain. She went ahead and said it went well. From there she continued the walks and took him to the beach too, which he loves! Both my dog and my house were in perfect condition when I returned. I very much appreciated the attention and care she provided for my dog, and that she asked permission before going against my instruction. She also sent daily photos of their adventures and snuggles. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and am very happy to have someone I can trust for future needs. Thank you Lisa!!!”

“I needed a dog sitter at the last minute due to a family emergency. I was thrilled that Shayla was available and willing to help us out. I was 800 miles from home, so she had to coordinate with my husband beforehand. Everything went well, and I will definitely reach out to her again for help.”

Debbie S.

“Lauren was amazing and would totally have her watch our dog again! She was in constant communication and even sent us daily photos. Highly recommend!”

Jacquelyn S.

“Wendy is a dream pet sitter! She stayed with our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. It was immediately clear how thoughtful and caring she is; our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well-loved in her care. Wendy is also exceptionally tidy. We were thrilled to return to a spotless home after our trip. It gave us such peace of mind to know both our pups and our house were in such capable hands. We would welcome her back in a heartbeat!”

April G.

“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!”

Zea M.

“Hallie is a senior lab very attached to me so can be challenging to sit for in my absence. Even though Chloe just met her, I was very pleased to return home to a happy and healthy girl who obviously did just fine and must have enjoyed her time with Chloe.”

Rick R.

“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!”

Hannah C.

“Cassie did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 labs and 1 cat while we were away on vacation and made sure the house stayed in good working order! Her schedule was flexable enough to house sit Thursday through Sunday which allowed us to travel out of state and the primary reason we went with her. She stayed in constant communication and was swift with her reply! She gave us peace of mind knowing our pets where being well taken care for which allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”

Brendan R.

“Took amazing care of my dogs. Best Rover experience to date. Kris and Laura go above and beyond. My dogs absolutely loved them. Was able to enjoy my time away knowing such great people were taking care of them. Thank you!!”

Lori I.

“Luna was absolutely amazing! I was so anxious to leave Penny with someone, but she was incredible — gave me updates throughout the stay and was respectful of her needs. She also kept my house in great shape and I felt safe having her stay with my dog. I look forward to using Luna’s services in the future and would definitely recommend her!”

Taylor H.

“Zoe was the absolute BEST sitter we’ve ever had!! She went above and beyond. Cooper’s so happy, I don’t even think he wants me back! I will be looking for her every single time we need a sitter from now on. Thanks Zoe!!”

About: I adore all animals but these last 15 years I’ve got to work with dogs and I am obsessed! I have worked in boarding and daycare business! In a boarding and daycare facility i participated in interdicting and watching dogs in a social setting! During boarding following owners instructions for feeding, medication and caring for the dogs! I’ve been first aid and cpr trained! Lots of wound care and being familiar with health warnings and communicating that to parents! I do not have any fear of any breeds and meet dogs at their level! I enjoy active dogs, absolutely love puppies but the tcups and seniors have my heart! My almost 13 year old always been chill, I love to be very active and my biggest perk working with dogs is I get little bit of it all! 15 years I have learned a lot and what works for me is I meet the pup where they are at! Never gonna be a millionaire but I get paid to walk and play with dogs!! Win win Available after 10am until 6pm for drop ins or walks! May be able to do over nights in parents home if there is separate space for me and my dog! Very negotiable! Dogs and cats are quick and unpredictable! I always pay attention to my environment, being cautious with doors! Respecting pets in their own environment, it’s their job to protect it! On walks making sure I am clear with boundaries when coming across other pets! I have had a slightly reactive dog (fear aggression) when on leash, so always avoiding setting her up for an uncomfortable situation for her! When your dog is with me I treat them same as I do mine!

“Emily is wonderful! She is polite, professional, and very responsive. My pets were so happy and stress-free when we returned, I can tell they had a great time in her care. I highly recommend her services, I would be thrilled to hire her again in the future!”

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.

“Deanna always takes great care of my babies! I don’t have to worry when I’m out of town. And I love getting the pictures of them having fun!!”

“Ava did a great job and our dog enjoyed her company.”

“Alexia watched my pers for 2 weeks. They are healthy and happy. I don’t know what she did but my dogs are NOT ANXIOUS. They are calm!! For the very first time they aren’t going crazy when I step foot in the house.”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been part of my everyday world. From a young age, my life has revolved around animals and helping them become the best versions of themselves. Some of my earliest experiences were with cats, including a feral rescue named Misty I bonded with closely as a child. I tend to connect well with animals that are more troubled, reactive, or unsure, and I’m often able to bring out their calmer, more trusting side. Later on in my life, my experience expanded significantly through raising and caring for Golden Retrievers. Growing up around breeding and long-term dog care taught me responsibility, consistency, and how much attention animals need at different stages of life. I’ve been involved in raising dogs from newborns to adulthood, and many of the dogs I’ve helped raise have gone on to become unforgettable adventure companions for their families. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with animals through long-term, hands-on care. My background as a Golden Retriever breeder has given me perspective on how different animals can be, even within the same breed. Every animal has unique preferences, behaviors, and ways of communicating, and learning to recognize those differences has been a major part of my experience. I’m comfortable managing multiple animals at once and handling a range of needs without becoming overwhelmed. I’m most accustomed to larger dogs, but my experience raising puppies has given me the delicacy and awareness needed to care for smaller animals as well. I’m especially familiar with puppies under six months old, including their unpredictable behavior and the extra attention they require. I’ve also worked with dogs that can be semi-reactive in certain situations. While I’m not willing to take on dogs that are broadly aggressive, I retain the right to assess the dog before accepting. I’m most comfortable with working with dogs that are borderline reactive but not reactive-aggressive. I can recognize signs of stress or reactivity, and can manage dogs that are generally well-functioning but may need thoughtful handling in specific situations. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day, generally between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, unless I’m staying at a client’s home for house sitting. Animal care already shapes my daily routine, and I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, exercise, outdoor exposure, and rest. I’m comfortable juggling different routines and planning time and resources around an animal’s specific needs. I’m very conscientious about safety and environmental risks. I pay close attention to doors, gates, toxic plants, household hazards, interactions with unfamiliar animals, and changes in an animal’s behavior. I rely on observation and experience to distinguish between normal behavior and something that may need attention. If something seems off, I communicate clearly and directly, providing context and details without being alarmist. I also enjoy sharing updates and photos so owners feel informed and connected while they’re away. I have experience filming and taking photos of animals especially dogs and cats that don’t sit still - so you’re bound to get a good photo or two of them.

About: I've had dogs in my family since I was born, and have always found it very fulfilling to care for and befriend them. I have limited experience training dogs, but not much makes me happier than spending time with them, on long walks, runs or on the couch. I'm currently in the navy, so my work schedule can he unpredictable and I occasionally leave Bremerton for 1-2 months at a time. Rarely ever work weekends though, and am typically home around 6pm at the latest My yard is not fenced in, but I will keep your dog on the leash at all times on walks. My apartment is clean, and I will follow any instructions towards your dog's diet.
