“Katie was wonderful watching our dogs for a second time! Our family joked that our pups were probably sad when we came home because she took such great care of them. They got lots of walks, pets, treats, and brushing while we were gone. We came home to happy calm pups!”
“Chaselyn was WONDERFUL! We unexpectedly needed a sitter within only a days notice. Chaselyn worked around our insanely busy Sunday schedule to come do a meet and greet with our puppers before coming later in the day to spend the night with them 🤍 She sent photos and videos, made sure the pups got good play time and loves, and kept our minds at ease while we were gone. We will DEFINITELY be rebooking with her!!”
“Aja was great with both our dog and cat. She sent pics and stayed in touch with important info. The house was very clean when we returned and the fur babies were happy! I would definitely use Aja again!”
“Tiffani was great with our dogs! We have two polar opposite personalities for our dogs and she was able to accommodate both. One dog just wants pets and cuddles while the other wants to play ball 24/7. She sent us pictures, videos, and general well-being updates each morning and night. Our pups seemed to have a great time with her and were all smiles! We will definitely be booking her again.”
“I can’t imagine having a more positive experience with a pet/house-sitter! Whitney was extremely caring, conscientious and caring and my two little doggies just loved her. And I’m pretty sure she left the house cleaner than when she found it! I look forward to having Whitney, and her little guy Jax, sit for us again very soon!”
“Olivia did a great job looking after Clarkie. He is a nervous little guy but he seemed overall relaxed and happy when we returned home. She provided a daily update and photo. We returned to a clean house, alive plants, and our sweet dog.”
About: I grew up with a lab and a german shepherd, and my family now has a golden doodle. We got him as a super active puppy, I helped train him to be a service dog, and now he's 11 years old! I've been pet sitting since high school on and off, whenever any neighbors or friends needed help. I love playing with dogs, petting them, and going on walks (walking is even better with dogs)! I've watched multiple of my friends cats, and have shared apartments with many cats as well. I've always been and will forever be an animal lover, and since moving to Washington I've been missing my animal time!! I am attending the School of Wooden Boat Building, which has classes M-F all day. However, there is a lunch break that I could drop in during, as long as they are close to the school. I would be able to make early mornings and all evenings after 5:30pm work, as well as all day on the weekends. I'm unable to keep pets in my apartment, however I've taken care of animals in lots of different kinds of houses/apartments. I am able to crate dogs, make sure indoor cats don't escape, etc.
“Lila was very communicative with me while I was away and attentive to my sweet kitty boy. He was very relaxed around her and enjoyed her company! Highly recommend!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and it's something I genuinely love. As a young, active dog owner myself, I understand that every pup deserves patience, attention, and lots of fun! Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring, or curling up for belly rubs, I'll make sure they feel right at home. I treat every dog like they're part of my own family and always focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress free experience. Your best friend is in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite sitter! 🐾❤️ I currently work 9 to 5 Tuesday through Friday in Port Townsend. I could do nighttime watching/sitting after my daytime job. I am free most weekends anytime and now available on Mondays anytime. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your furry family member, so I treat both with the same respect and care I would my own. I'll stick to your dog's routine, provide plenty of love, exercise, and attention, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, well cared for, and in trusted hands. My goal is for you to come home to a happy dog and a home that's been cared for just as you left it.
“We were so fortunate to have found Kayla when we had to leave town on such short notice. We rarely travel without our 2 babies but having an option for consistent care while being away from home has provided us with so much peace. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ashley was the best. My dog Ali can be a challenge sometimes, but Ashley jumped right in and took her on some good adventures. They clearly bonded and I know Ali was sad to see her go. Ashley also left the house spotless and kept me posted with pics and videos during her stay. Totally 5 stars.”
“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!”
“Arianne is amazing! This is the third time she has taken care of our dog Monte and our home while we were away for a week. We always feel 100% confident that Arianne is doing a great job. We will continue to request Arianne for house and dog sitting for as long as she is available.”

Anna was amazing! She was very responsive to our messages and arrived on time for our meet and greet. Anna instantly connected with our dog and we knew right away we would get peace of mind with her looking after our pup and home. Anna provided several updates while we were away which we absolutely appreciated. Anna went above and beyond by even taking out the trash (we left in a hurry) and washed our sheets and had the place in better shape than when we left. We will definitely be calling upon Anna to watch our dog again in the future, thanks Anna:)

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 Port Hadlock 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 Port Hadlock 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Port Hadlock 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 sitter.
