“Abby is an absolute blessing and was a pleasure working with, to coordinate care for our little one. Abby's response time was excellent, she is flexible, communicates well and we loved the updates and photo after each visit. We could not have asked for better. Thank you Abby!”
“Alyssa went above and beyond taking care of our cats. This was our first time using rover and she exceeded our expectations. We have 2 cats and she took the time to make them both feel comfortable and they warmed up to her right away. She was punctual and consistent and sent great photos to keep us updated. We would definitely use her again!”
“Gisselle was wonderful! My little guy was nervous at first and has separation anxiety. Within twenty minutes she sent a pic, of him relaxed and having a good time! Thank you! Definitely recommend!”
About: I have raised a puppy, and also dog-sat and cat-sat many times. I do have one cat living with me now and love all animals. I work from home M-F 7-3 but my schedule is flexible, I can take long lunches or leave early if needed. I can also take my laptop on the go if necessary to provide company for your pet. Regular feeding and walks for dogs or interaction for cats. Positive reinforcement. Regularly cleaning litter box. Keeping their water refilled and fresh. Also lots of play/cuddles.
About: I've taken care of animals all throughout my life and have worked with and in shelters for the past 4 years. I have plenty of experience with a variety of breeds, from Chihuahua to Mastiff. With a variety of experience in average, senior, and medicinal care, I'm happy to accommodate for you and your pet's needs, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I can walk and board all week days and weekend days. I am available for in-home/housesitting care from Thursdays-Mondays. I work full-time but am afforded a flexible schedule, so feel free to reach out about your specific needs! I have 2 of my own cats that are as sweet as can be and would love the chance to meet new friends, if you and your pet are up for it. Otherwise, I have a custom "cat city" room and an outdoor patio and backyard for fur friends to get plenty of privacy (with supervision of course!) if they need it.
“Emma was one of the sweetest people I’ve met on Rover. She is very kind hearted and loved to spend time with my dogs. I could definitely trust her being in my home, and I plan to continue her services in the future. Highly recommend Emma !!!”
“Not only is she flexible, she also goes above and beyond! Our trip got pushed and couldn't make it back to get out animals. We reached out and Abby said she'd make an extra trip out to feed and let our animals out. I cannot tell you the relief and love we have for her 💜💜 the best sitter!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. My friends and neighbors have asked me to walk them or house sit for their dogs many times. On weekends I have a lot of free time during the day and it could be very useful to be outside and interact with different dogs. A fenced yard in the back for them to have fun and for them to take care of their business. We have play toys that they love to play with.
“Deanna was incredible. Our cats are socially opposite in that one loves everyone, and one hides from anyone new. Since they both take pills my wife and know how challenging it can be to get the cat that hides to get his pills. Deanna though was up to the challenge and in a short period of time had the shy cat cozying up to her and taking his pills. We will definitely request Deanna in the future!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and rabbits. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine. Since I’m home throughout most of the day, your pet will receive dependable care, companionship, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines so your pet feels secure and at ease. I keep doors and gates secured, use a leash whenever required, and provide close supervision during every visit. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are being treated with care and respect.
“We had Meghan caring for our two cats for 26 DAYS when we were in Europe and she did an amazing Job with their food and litter boxes and our older cat's medication - Both cats are clean and happy and healthy and we are very pleased with her love and care for them. We have booked her services again for the Christmas holidays.”
“To say Solace did a great job is an understatement. We booked Solace to look after our cat, Bear, for three check-ins while we were out of state. She was very flexible with regards to times and always responded quickly to our texts. Each time she dropped in to check on Bear, we'd not only receive 8 pictures, but a nice summary of the visit, how much he ate and drank, what they did, and the general state in the house, including checking to make sure his litter box was clean. I'm really impressed by how thorough Solace was with each check-in, and we really appreciated the detailed summaries of each visit. Furthermore, on our way home, we had a small panic when we believed that Bear had been trapped in a room. When we asked Solace to check on him for us, she responded immediately that she would do so as soon as she could. That's definitely going above and beyond for us, and we couldn't thank her enough. I highly recommend Solace for any pet-sitting service you need.”
“Katherine and her son were wonderful to work with! They took wonderful care of my two dogs and provided regular updates and photos while I was away traveling. I know my dogs appreciated the cuddles and attention they received since they both struggle when their routine is adjusted. Boscoe found a new best friend with Katherine’s son 😊 Katherine also went above and beyond caring for our chickens too! She made sure they were well fed, watered, and that the brooding box was safe as I was concerned with the safety of a heat lamp. Katherine is my first choice in dog sitter for all future travel/dog sitting needs. Thank you!”
About: We had a lot of dogs growing up in my family, basic command, hygiene and just love to have them around including my service dog. I usually walk my dog in the mornings and evenings, this will help me and my dog socializing and also doing some exercise during the walks. I take her to the park to play and sometimes to swim a little bit. I have my paperwork where I usually ask about any allergies, incapacity or any behavior that I need to be aware. What are the things they are allowed to eat and how many times they go out during the day. Basically pet care for me is on daily bases. Follow a healthy and comfortable routine for you and your doggo is important. Good food, exercise and socialization is the main key. For both of the locations I create an area with familiar smells, toys and treats. Provide long walks, play time and potty breaks as well.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Port Orchard is $25

Ashley was phenomenal during her visits with our pups. She was incredibly thorough, descriptive, and most importantly, communicative throughout. She took awesome care of them and went out of her way to take plenty of photos/updates! We will be absolutely giving her a call next time our dogs need some care.
Nora is absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She has always taken such wonderful care of our pets and our home, and I feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her hands while we’re away. This trip, I ended up having a couple of extra requests come up, and Nora went above and beyond to help me with every single one of them without hesitation. She is incredibly dependable, accommodating, responsive, and genuinely caring. It means so much to have a pet sitter I can truly rely on, especially when I’m away from home. Nora consistently makes things easier and gives me such peace of mind knowing everyone is being well cared for. We are so grateful for her and feel very lucky to have found her. She will absolutely continue to be our go-to sitter! ❤️🐾
My dogs were so excited to have Christine drop by for a visit during one of my long work days! I came home and could instantly tell she did a great job entertaining them and making sure they had ample time for potty breaks, following all of my guidelines to a T. She communicated very well and I am so grateful for her care. Looking forward to having her stay with them for an extended trip at the end of summer.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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!
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.

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 .
