Top rated Port Orchard house sitters

“Amy was fantastic with my two dogs. She communicated well, arrived on time and was able to help me out with an additional drop in visit since my flight was delayed. Despite a finicky dog, she was able to get him to warm up and take him for a walk - which is definitely a challenge! She was very respectful of my house and left everything clean and tidy upon return. I'd highly recommend booking her services and look forward to working with her again in the future!”


“Lisa was great with our boys! They’re pretty energetic and she was really active with them, playing and walking. We came home to two calm and happy pups. We will definitely be booking again the next time we need some help!”


“I found Nadalie to be quite reliable with house-sitting and cat-sitting for me when I was away. She took our garbage to the curb and returned the cans and kept our outdoor plants watered as requested. My cat was healthy and happy when I returned home. My home was kept neat and was clean when I arrived back from my trip. I am pleased with her service.”


“Hannah rocks. She responds right away and had no problem meeting us in person before taking care of our dogs. We have too mutts that think they are pretty tough and Hannah was able to approach them knowing it was all a show. She plied then with treats and they were all instant buddies, despite our dogs’ incessant barking. She showed true patience with them and such honesty with my wife and I. She even corrected a payment error that would have worked in her favor and was honest about traveling out of state in case that was a concern for us regarding COVID. She was totally understanding of our precautions, our house was left in pristine shape in spite of our sloppy dogs, and she is will to go above and beyond for our doggos. She changed out a bandage on one dog’s leg who had a hotspot. I would without hesitation hire Hannah again due to her care for our dogs, her open communication and honesty with us, and her down to earth nature.”


“Hallie is a senior lab very attached to me so can be challenging to sit for in my absence. Even though Chloe just met her, I was very pleased to return home to a happy and healthy girl who obviously did just fine and must have enjoyed her time with Chloe.”


“Sarah was absolutely incredible! She made sure our kitten Marleau was well taken care of and showered in love. She was super responsive and sent tons of pics and videos, which was amazing since this was our first time leaving our little man for more than a few days. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing Marleau was in great hands. I would highly recommend Sarah for any of your pet sitting needs!”


“Penny is wonderful! This is the first time that we have used this service and I was nervous. Penny did a great job keeping in touch and sending picutes. I think the babies were disappointed to see us when we returned.”


“Waylon stayed in our home with our two huskies and did an excellent job. He was great with communication, took amazing care of both our home and our dogs, and made the whole experience worry-free. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would definitely book with him again.”


“We have known Peggy in a business capacity for many years. When we found out she was dog sitting we immediately made her our primary sitter for our dog Shadow. He’s very anxious and has terrible separation anxiety. Peggy has been a tremendous surrogate mommy for him. She is the only person that we trust to stay in our home when we’re away on weekends or vacations. She has the highest level of integrity and is an amazing pet carer. She gets our highest recommendation.”


“My fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with Anna and the care she took of our sweet girl (A 4 year old pit bull). We knew when we adopted our dog, that she loved people but didn’t do well in a shelter environment or around other dogs. This has made leaving town a challenge due to limited options as we couldn’t board her or drop her at my parents’ house with our family dogs, as her well-being comes first. When I found Anna’s profile, she seemed too good to be true but she is real! She is the reason I signed up for Rover. She took excellent care of our girl and our home for 5 days while we were on vacation. It made such a difference knowing our dog could be comfortable and cared for in her own home with someone who is great with dogs. Our pup has some anxiety and quirks so we wanted someone caring and experienced — Anna is that person. Thank you, Anna. We all three hope to see you again soon.”


“Cassie was fantastic with our elderly dog. Great communication and wonderful care for our pup.”



“Shawn is amazing, I highly recommend her! She took such wonderful care of my two senior dogs while I was away. Shawn sent me notes and photos so I knew exactly how my dogs were doing and gave me peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I came home to happy dogs and a well-kept home, I couldn’t have asked for more!”


“Jordan was excellent. I only adopted Oso the day prior but was called in to work. She met with Oso that day to ensure the two were a match. She responded with very short notice to dog sit within my home overnight. Her communication was perfect and she updated me often with how Oso was doing, what they were up to, and with multiple photos showing a very happy rescue.”


“Jace is very reliable, friendly, responsive and did well with my dogs. I would recommend him for pet sitting services and hope to have him back in the future.”


About: Hello, I am also an avid dog owner (I have had 3 Boxers, I currently just have a medium Cavapoodle (Doodle)), a Chiweenie, and an Alaskan Malamute. I can walk, help train, potty train, and spend time with your dog while you are busy. I love animals and would love to help your animal get the love that it needs while you are away. My schedule is flexible, I am a school teacher, but I can be available before and after school for walks, home visits, and other needs. I am also available on weekends. Thanks for considering me, I look forward to working with you and your pet when you need a little help. I hope to provide good care for your dog when you most need it from one dog lover to another. I can also provide services for other animals as well. Please consider our home, it's fantastic! Your pet will be truly loved here, so no worries! During the summer, I am available full time for animal care and babysitting services. So, go on your vacations and trips and have some peace of mind about your fur babies on their vacation! I can also keep your dog/cat separated from mine if needed, if your dog or cat does not do well with other dogs I have plenty of space, and front and back yards to separate them. I am on a teacher schedule. Home at night. Someone is always available at the house for care. Your fur babies will never be on their own. 24/7 supervision. We also have two little girls here, but they love animals and are used to large and small dogs. No allergies. I spend a lot of time with them on walks, playing, interaction, yard time, and reward time. My dogs are medium trained, and well behaved. They get along great with other dogs. I feed my dogs twice per day, but can feed yours on any schedule you would prefer.

“Melinda was great with our dog and cat and left our home spotless! She followed our instructions thoroughly, including taking care and giving meds to our dog for post-surgery recovery. I would highly recommend her!”

About: With over four years of experience as a hospital manager at a veterinary hospital, I bring a strong background in animal health and wellness to every pet I care for. My veterinary knowledge allows me to confidently administer medications, monitor health, and provide specialized care for senior pets or those with medical needs. During my time at the clinic, I also cared for boarding animals, ensuring they felt safe, loved, and comfortable while away from home. Whether your pet needs extra attention or just some playtime and cuddles, I’m here to give them top-notch care and peace of mind for you! I recently moved to Bremerton and left my position at the veterinary hospital, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can accommodate a variety of time frames! Whether it’s a midday walk, an overnight stay, or anything in between. With enough notice, I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and your needs! When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to maintain their routines and provide a calm, comfortable environment that feels familiar and stress free. I take the trust of entering someone’s home very seriously by respecting your space, following your instructions closely, and keeping everything just as you left it. With my background in veterinary care, I’m confident in recognizing signs of stress or illness and acting quickly if something seems off. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Katherine and her son have quickly become our favorite doggy nanny’s for Java by far. They spend special attention and kept to our instructions for our little guy. It really shows how much they love animals. On the first sitting Java had a hard time letting them leave. Thank you again for both of your wonderful.”


“Natascha did great! I look forward to having her watch our pups again. She kept me informed, took pictures, and left my house in exceptional shape. She was patient with my very anxious dog, I highly reccomend her!”


“I should lie and say move past her, only so I can make sure she’s available when I need her for my dogs. She is very polite, and quickly replies and listens to your needs. I had her house sit along with three dogs and it was perfect. I through 2 very high strung working dogs at her and she didn’t seem phased and made she they all had plenty of attention. She’s very quick with updates. I could keep going on as there was zero issues. 5 stars is definitely not enough rating. 10/10 will be using again when I need. Or when a friend needs someone.”
