About: Active duty member who knows how hard it can be to find a sitter on days where work is long. Had my labradoodle named Finley for 12 years and appreciate all dogs as if he was my Fin. I get help with my buddy on days I work long and would like to return it back to those who need it. Every doggo should get a lil fresh air! I am active duty who works full time at Naval base Bremerton. Normally off around 4pm and live close to work. I walk my dog already in the evening so can easily pass by to walk yours. I take extra care and precaution on walking my dog especially around other dogs which means I would do the same for yours. Larger dogs with strength will not be an issue for me to handle.
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
“Sabrina was great while I was on my recent trip! My cat has very specific dietary needs and she followed all the instructions perfectly! She took great care of him with her drop-in visits and I will happily book with her again!”
About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. **Temporarily pausing in home stays until my husband returns home from deployment** As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve also spent a lot of free time helping my neighbors and friends, with their dogs when they need it. All dogs deserve to be cared for with the most love you can bring! Whether that be just a walk, a check in, or hours spent with them, I make sure they are happy and healthy! I’m am currently working part time, so I have lots of free time available! Weekdays I am available after 9 am! For boarding, please message me with all necessary details, as I may be available through the week! At my home, I currently have two cats who are very friendly with both people and pets. They have plenty of toys to keep them entertained and occupied. For dogs, I typically take them on a daily walk if available to do so, and make sure they are able to get their energy out and play!
“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!”
“Victoria was amazing! My animals were well attended, the food bowls rinsed and in the dishwasher, the litter cleaned. All instructions were followed and beyond. I will definitely have Victoria back again!”
“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.”
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.
About: I have been taking care of dogs from a very young age, and I have been a professional sitter and boarder for a little over 3 years now. I recently moved to the area and am looking to rebuild my clientele. I am an animal advocate who has spent a lot of time volunteering with different agencies to help find forever homes for abandoned fur babies, and working for programs that went out and helped the homeless get the right care for their pets. I have experience with hyper pets, shy pets, large and small. I love them all the same. Let me spoil your babies while you’re away, and take comfort in knowing that they are safe and loved with me. I am currently an online student and doing a part time work from home job, so I will be home and available for them all day besides appointments or errands I have a large fenced yard that I make sure to walk the perimeter of to make sure there are no escape points. I also have a huge deck for them to lounge on and they have free roam of my home. I do have a toddler in the home, she is very shy with animals and has grown up learning the importance of being gentle and nonintrusive with them.
About: I provide an outstanding level of care for your furry family members. I have been able to personally own and take care of a wide variety of pets, from large German Shepherds to small Pomeranians to cats and even lizards and snakes. I currently have a big fluffy Bernese mountain dog who will be turning 3 in October. I love working with owners to ensure that their pet is treated just like they would be at home. I will provide an outstanding level of care and attention for your family and look forward to working with you! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to get plenty of time in with my own pup each day, and let’s me watch additional pets during the week. Weekends can often be busy, but if planned ahead of time we can watch a furry friend then too. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised play and potty time. I also own additional bowls, and a full sized crate if needed. A block and a half down the street is a mostly fenced park I take my pup to play in as well if more space is needed. The neighborhood is great for walks, but does have several hills which can be difficult for older, larger dogs. My dog only needs about 30 min a day of play-time, but if yours needs more we can plan for that too.
“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 have been raised around pets my entire life. I trained my own dog when I was 13 and have had my own cat for about 4 years. I love animals and used to always pet sit for family and friends I work full time. I am free early mornings and after six on Sundays and Mondays are completely open to taking care of animals of all kinds. Mondays and Tuesdays are typically free all day for loads of playing and fun. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of property to play on. I have a dog and cat of my own that I love longs walks and sunbathing. I am familiar with lots of dog parks and animal friendly parks as well.

I can care for dogs, cats, and any other pet you have. I'm a hard worker, and very reliable. You can contact me anytime to change your needs, check-in on how things are going, and specify any details on how to better care for you pet. I currently have one pet of my own, a golden retriever border collie mix (age 7) . I am able to teach puppies the basics such as sit, stay, come, and even fetch if I work with them long enough.

I will follow whatever set of instructions fits yours and your animals needs best, more detailed the better so I can take care of them to my best ability. I can give meds as I do to my own dog at home. Lots of potty breaks and time outside playing or just soaking up the sun!
“Overall excellent service! Elizabeth is punctual, reliable, goes above and beyond with communicating about our pup, and is so kind. Our dog jumps with joy every time he sees her.”
“Brian is wonderful with our dog! He is easy to communicate with, reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves to see him and looks forward to his visits. Brian really cares about our dog and I’m so grateful we connected. Not only does he clearly love and respect animals, he is also very professional and detail oriented. 100% recommend him for any pet sitting needs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Orchard
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! ❤️🐾
Alyssa is amazing! I highly recommend. I just moved to Washington and was panicking about leaving my babies for a few days not knowing anyone. I found her profile on Rover and reached out because she looked like she would be amazing with animals. She sent me the cutest pictures and was so sweet with them! I have one cat who is scared of most people. She let Alyssa love all over her. I love knowing I have someone I trust to take care of my babies while I’m gone. I am so thankful for her!
Absolutely nothing to complain about. Khayl came by prior to trip to get a lay of the land and meet my whole damn zoo. They were super communicative, asking great questions and providing detailed pet updates daily. I know my pets were well taken care of because they barely batted an eye when we returned! Clearly Khayl provided them with more than adequate feedings and lovings. Would recommend.
Jennifer is so great! I have gone to Jennifer multiple times to watch my two small dogs. She is always a great communicator, super kind, patient with my dogs, and takes lots pictures, which really helps me to feel comfortable. She follows directs thoroughly and shows a lot of care for my little ones. It is great to have someone I know I can trust to care for my dogs when I need to be away.
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Port Orchard stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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. 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Port Orchard with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
