“Gone for a week, we came home to a clean house and four happy cats. It is obvious that she spent quality time feeding, petting, and taking care of their play comfort needs. Contact with Chaselyn while we were away was easy. She is quick to respond. and sent daily images. We will most definitely use her caregiving services again.”

“Kathrine was amazing! She took great care of dogs and home while we were away. We would book with her again! She sent updates of our dogs each day, followed all instructions that were left, and our dogs felt safe and happy! She went above and walked them often while we were gone and even helped our pup that wasn’t feeling well in the middle of the night. She was wonderful!”

“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.”

“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 an amazing job with our 2 dogs. Our youngest is a challenge and she managed her wonderfully. We communicated daily and she sent photos of them. We’ve never had to leave our pups for 8 days before and were quite anxious about it. But Shayla was very responsive to our needs and we came home to 2 happy and healthy pups. I would certainly recommend Shayla.”

“Sarah was fantastic and I will absolutely request her services again! I was nervous to leave about leaving my dogs for the first time; they are both rescue dogs with separation anxiety and used to a very consistent routine. She took the time to come meet them ahead of time and go over their needs with me. She was very communicative, sent multiple check-ins and photos, and was quick to clarify details if she was unsure about something. They both took to her right away. She was the perfect fill in for "mom" while I was away. Thank you so much! We will definitely reach out again in the future!”


“Stephanie was great! She was really flexible and sent updates throughout watching our sweet pup. We look forward to booking another sitting with Stephanie again!”


About: Hi! I look forward to caring for you furry family! I grew up with pets and have dogs and cats for family and friends for years. But I also know each individual pet has its own personality and needs, so I tailor my care to your instructions. I currently have a dog of my own, Pepper. If you choose to board with us, I'd recommend a meet and greet beforehand. I have an apartment with a large enclosed courtyard that is pet friendly for them to safely play. I have a mostly remote job, so I can watch your pet full time. I also have a dog of my own that share with my partner. So I am accustomed to the schedule of dogs. Your pets safety is my number one priority. When we discuss the their care, I will ask about triggers, allergies, medications, and inquire if there is any other information I should know about.

About: I grew up in a large dog loving family. In adulthood, nothing has changed. Our family are all dog lovers. We will be available Monday to Friday and on the weekends as well to take care of your dog/dogs. We have a large house and a big yard that is fenced. Typically, your dog will go home tired from playing with the other dogs, walks around the neighborhood and playing catch in our large turfed backyard. Watching your dog for boarding or daycare is my full time job. Plus, my wife and three kids love dogs and help out as well. We have a large house and fenced yard. Plus, we don't leave dogs outside without our supervision. We also don't leave the dogs alone indoors for more than two hours at a time.
“Terry was super communicative and respectful to my home and my two cats. He was also good about following up on schedules and leaving everything very clean. Would absolutely book Terry again!”

About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 4 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work two to three days a week for no more than 4 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 7 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night. I do host up to 3 dogs at a time and have a small pup of my own, so I ask that your dog is well socialized.
About: Growing up with both cats and dogs and currently living with our dog Kylo and cat Kala, I have a genuine love for taking care of pets. Love getting out on walks, and with Kylo being a husky, I am definitely used to some leash pulling! We also love a good game of tug-of-war. Working from home, I can be super attentive to your pup’s needs. We have a fenced in yard that they can have access to at anytime throughout the day. While I am not a trainer by any means, I worked with a trainer when we first rescued Kylo that gave me a lot of confidence to work well dogs and understand their behavior more. My first experience dog sitting was for a husky of a family member. We would go on walks, and she loved trying to chase the deer in the neighborhood. Subsequently, the neighbors asked if I would come sit for their Rhodesian Ridgeback, who was just a large ball of energy! I can provide play time and will also ensure that your dog will be comfortable during their stay. I work full time from home but am done with work around 2pm. Working from a computer makes it easy to keep an eye on your dog, be able to take breaks to play and potty, and follow up with lots of good afternoon time. I have a fenced in yard, and Kylo is very friendly and would love to play with your dog. Our cat is kept separate from the dogs.
“Kina was a great sitter! She was attentive to Finn’s needs considering he was on the last few days of kennel cough. She came for a meet and greet before and hit it off with Finn. When we left I felt comfortable and confident having her in my home and to watch Finn. With frequent updates and pictures I was able to see my baby from far away. She asked permission before taking him to a nature park and then allowed him to have an amazing time as well. I would definitely use Kina again and recommend her to those looking. ?”

“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”

About: Hi! I’m Vanessa, an experienced and dependable pet caregiver newly relocated to the Shoreline area. I previously provided pet-sitting and dog-walking services before stepping away to focus on my professional work and relocation. I’m excited to begin caring for local pets again and build lasting relationships with families in my new community. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, attentive, communicative, and respectful of your pet’s individual routine. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and will keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I’m currently available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and cat care in Shoreline and nearby communities. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I work full time from home and create my own schedule so I will have plenty of time to chill with your pets! I am flexible with weekends and weekdays. I provide a calm, structured, and supervised environment. I work from home, so pets are never left unattended for long. I have one puppy in training and two low-key cats who mostly keep to themselves. I can crate your pet if needed or provide a separate space to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first.

“Nori took amazing care of Ember and was the best sitter she has ever had! She took her on plenty of adventures including hikes and kept me well updated on how/what Ember was doing. She also took amazing care of the apartment and left it tidier than when she arrived. Hopefully Ember will be able to have more adventures with Nori in the future!”

About: My dogs and I are very familiar with Rover. There is usually visiting dog in the mix. I am the sitter I would want to care for mine. Good vibes here. My mom Rosalind j. Is a great sitter on Rover. I am usually her second helper with her dogs. https://www.rover.com/sit/rosalj06235 I am very open and interest to sitting other critters. I am work long periods on and long periods off. I will be available 24/7 when I’m home. We can discuss as needed your sitting requests. There is a fenced patio and a grassy courtyard that the dogs know all the sniff spots. Walkable neighborhood and a park me and my dogs walk to.
“Becca was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs! She was responsible, tidy, and kept us well informed with regular updates while we were away. We felt completely comfortable trusting her with the dogs, and she made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well walked throughout her stay. One of our dogs needed daily medication, and Becca handled it perfectly. We’d definitely book Becca again and would happily recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Hadlock-Irondale
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-Irondale 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-Irondale 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-Irondale 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!

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.
