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.
“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!”
“Karin is absolutely fantastic and both of my doggies adore her! This was our first time using Rover and Karin was awesome at explaining what we could expect and easing our mind. She also sent us cute photos during her visits to let us know everything was going well. We were so happy and the doggies can’t wait for Karin’s next check in!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14. My first dog was a lab mix and he is now 14 years old. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own that I have taken care of for the past few years. I have also helped friends and neighbors with their little furry friends by walking and feeding them. My current schedule for right now can be any night time stays. I can also help out anytime after 7:30am Monday to Fridays, or weekends full-day. I am close to local dog parks which I take my two puppies to everyday. They love to play with other dogs there and play tug of war or catch at the park. I also love to take walks by the water or go on hikes with my dogs.
“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!”
“Above and beyond care! I don’t normally leave reviews with anything but I really wanted to in this case. I have an automatic water fountain which is normally filled with enough to last them a week if it didn’t get topped off. Erica was concerned they were drinking more than what could get them through between her visits so she put an extra water bowl down for them in addition to refilling the fountain. That is going above and beyond and showed real compassion for my kitties and that is something I really value. She went out of her way to ensure they wouldn’t need anything while I was away. And she was so very kind to bring in my packages left on my doorstep. I didn’t ask her to but she saved them from the rain and took them in for me. KitKat my very shy kitty even liked her so she has my seal of approval! I will ABSOLUTELY go to her again if I need someone to watch my fur babies!!!!! Trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate!”
About: Experienced pet sitter caring for puppies through seniors. Skilled with medications, precise care instructions, and always putting pets first with patience, consistency, and clear communication. I work a part-time job, which requires me to be away from the home 3 days a week for 8 hours. If needed, I am able to provide a potty break halfway through the day. My shepherd mix and I enjoy regular walks, playtime, and mental enrichment, balanced with calm downtime, cuddles, and a relaxed home environment. This routine helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I care for pets by closely following their established routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, mental enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. In my home, pets have access to a secure, fenced-in yard and a friendly dog for supervised play. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow care instructions precisely, and provide consistent updates and photos for peace of mind.
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.
About: My bootcamp program for my dogs is the perfect combination of love, fun, exercise and discipline. I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I specialize in smaller dogs, but I love all dogs equal. I plan to have only 1 or 2 dogs at a time. I work part time and have weekends off and I will have an assistant to help part of the day, while I'm away at work. So I will have lots of time with your fur baby. Your pets will be inside my home most of the time. If your dog is well behaved, I usually will take your pet with me.
“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.”
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care for our doggies and our home, and kept us updated daily with a quick note and photos! We are thrilled to have found someone we trust and will deffinalty book with her again!”
“She treated my pups like they were her own. She left me detailed messages about how each of the drop in visits went with pictures to go along with it. Made me feel like they were in great hands. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Caryn (CAR-in), a former zookeeper, professional animal trainer, and lifelong dog lover. With over a decade of professional experience working with animals, from marine mammals and birds to large carnivores, I now focus my passion and expertise on providing compassionate, confidence-building care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve worked with the Seattle Aquarium, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, and Seattle Humane Society, and I bring a strong foundation in behavior observation, positive reinforcement training, and safe medication handling to every pup I meet. At home, I share life with two dogs who fill my days with joy, gentle chaos, and the kind of perspective only a dog can offer: Tucker, our 65 lb. soulful and cuddly Boxador who happens to be dog-reactive, and Cooper, our 40 lb. playful Hound/Boxer/Boston mix who proudly strutted his stuff in the 2023 Puppy Bowl. Living with a reactive dog has deepened my understanding of behavior, communication, and how powerful patience and empathy can be. I also had the honor of growing alongside Max, our beloved senior miniature schnauzer, who lived to 18 and reminded me daily of the grace and tenderness senior dogs deserve. I offer tailored, loving care for your pet, whether they're curious puppies discovering the world or seasoned seniors needing extra comfort and support. Outside of pet care, I’m an artist and nature lover who enjoys trail running, exploring, and creating artwork inspired by nature. I bring that same sensitivity and presence into every visit, tuning in to the little quirks and big personalities that make each dog unique. From enrichment games to cozy snuggles or jogs around the block, I’m here to provide experienced, heartfelt care tailored just for your dog. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work part-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, focused care throughout the day. I'm available every day between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM for walks, runs, play sessions, check-ins, and quiet companionship - whatever suits your pet’s needs and energy level. Whether your pet thrives on enrichment and exercise or just needs a steady, reassuring presence, I’ve got you covered. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the heart of every visit. In your home, I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routines, preferences, and emotional needs, from where they feel safe resting to how they like to be approached. Whether I’m providing enrichment, administering medication, or simply offering a calming presence, I always prioritize gentle communication, consent-based interactions, and low-stress handling. My background in behavior observation and positive reinforcement helps me read subtle cues and respond thoughtfully, especially with nervous, reactive, or senior pets. Everything I do, from locking up carefully to maintaining clean, familiar routines, I care for your pet and home as if they were my own. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I’m always happy to share a note or photo about your pet’s day, if that brings you peace of mind.
“Jasmin is amazing. Our cat is feisty and has been known to chase cat sitters out of the house. However, Jasmin had our kitty sitting on her lap from day one. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to extend our trip and Jasmin was able to keep on with us. Our kitty was so well-cared for! We will definitely have Jasmin back the next time we need to leave town!”
“Drew is an asset to my household while I am away! I am a worry wart cat mommy so she very much put me at ease ?? all the while my babies were playing and having fun! I loved receiving the photos and texts of all 3 of them playing, I feel blessed knowing that my sweethearts are well taken care of while I’m gone! ??.”
“This is our second time using Genesis to check in on our fur baby! She does such a fantastic job, and Zoë absolutely adores her. I love the detailed report cards that she sends with each visit along with the fun pictures! If you are looking for a dog sitter or a dog walker, Genesis is the one, and I highly recommend her!!”

Both of my dogs loved Ashley right away at our meet & greet - even my anxious girl! I can tell they got lots of love during their drop in visit today because they are both happy to see I’m home but seem more content than they usually are after a long day away. Thank you again!!!
Anna is our go-to gal! This time around I had a residency that took me away from home for just a few days, but with my partner commuting long hours, our pup would’ve had to wait a long time to be let out. Anna to the rescue! I know my dog and cat were happy to see a well-known friend midday and my dog’s aging bladder was surely relieved. Thank you, Anna!
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.
Nora was amazing! She took such great care of my pets and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. She was reliable, communicative, and just overall easy to work with. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Valerie was fantastic! She was willing to meet with me 2 times before I left on my trip to make sure we had everything covered. I have a senior Great Pyrenees who walks with a limp and is on various medication. I was very nervous leaving her. Valerie kept me updated with plenty of pictures and texts which made me feel so happy and less worried while away. She administered Betsy’s medication with ease. She washed out Betsy’s food and water bowls and made sure she had fresh water daily. She encouraged Betsy to go on walks and was very patient with her the entire stay. Valerie also took pictures of my other animals that were there and had no problem sharing the space with my 17 year old stepson when she did her drop in visits. She came 3 times a day and stayed the full time. I also love how she laid on Betsy’s dog bed with her! 10/10 I recommend Valerie and will be using her again!

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 .

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.
