Personalized care for your dog or cat - East Port Orchard
Highly-rated overnight sitters - East Port Orchard
“Charis is fabulous as always. The puppies were sad to leave they always have so much fun. She gave us some stuff to work on with them and I appreciate the feedback! Even gave some tips and advise! Thank you Charis!!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“James is hands down the best dog sitter I have ever had. He is communicative throughout the whole process, he’s a true animal lover and he actively shows his love to your pet while under his care. I could tell by my pet Apollos behavior that he didn’t want to leave James when I picked him up. They went for hikes, walks and he got tons of snuggles and cuddles. James is not your typical dog sitter, he’s above average in every way and I wish I lived closer to him to use him every week!!!”
“Donna and Don were great! Very sweet couple who took great care of my pup for five days. They kept me updated and sent me great pics which put me at ease. My girl was so worn out from playing with their dogs and having free run in their huge yard that she passed out once we got home. I would certainly use this Rover sitter again.”
“Lorelai is absolutely amazing and I would leave my kitty with her any time! My boyfriend and I went on a last minute road trip and Lorelai thankfully had the availability to take Maverick from me and take care of him. I have a hard time leaving him with anyone because he is diabetic and needs special care. She made sure to give him his insulin twice every day when he needed it exactly how we showed/told her to do it. Not only that, but Maverick was very comfortable there with her which tells me a lot. I would recommend Lorelai to anyone needing a pet sitter! Thank you, Lorelai, you helped keep my mind at ease knowing he was well taken care of while we were away! It means more than you know!”
“Best possible choice for my senior chihuahua. I feel like I lucked out. Maria was so great with Misha. I think my antisocial curmudgeon even had a great time and may even have some new friends. I was so pleased with the multiple updates and photos/videos sent throughout my trip. I can tell Maria truly loves all the dogs that come through her home and treats them like her own babies. I have such a weight off my shoulders knowing after 15 years I can finally take trips, long or short, knowing I have peace of mind with where I leave my little man. Can’t recommend enough.”
“It was my dog's first time boarding since I adopted him in January. He was so excited to see Kha and even happier to be able to run around a big yard with her dogs. Kha took great care of Wolfgang, treated him like he was past of their family and sent me lots of pictures and videos of his time there.”
“We are delighted to share our exceptional experience with Kristina, her family, and their dog boarding facility. In a last-minute situation, they provided unparalleled care for our 100-pound dog, who had a pre-existing gum injury. The family went above and beyond, demonstrating a level of commitment and expertise that set them apart. Their attention to detail and genuine concern for our pet's well-being make them, in our opion, an outstanding choice for anyone seeking top-notch dog boarding services.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Bailey and Kyle were amazing! My pup Coco had soo much fun playing with their dog and she was well taken care of. Their huge fenced in backyard was definitely a bonus! I would definitely use them again!”
“Kevin and Kandice were fantastic! Our little pup is pretty reactive generally but they clearly know how to work with dogs and put him at ease right away. They were great communicators, were able to be flexible about pickup time, and just overall exceeded our expectations on every front. We will definitely call them again!”
“It was our first time ever boarding our dog. Kirsten and her family were spectacular! From the first time we met her and Bear (her dog) we knew we had made the perfect choice. She sent pictures and updates throughout our vacation and our dog was so happy and made lots of new friends. Leaving Bodhi with them gave us such peace of mind. We are using them again at the end of July.”
“My pups had a fantastic time! I have a senior pup who needs to be watched so she doesn’t slip on the floors and just needs that extra love, and she was cared for so well. And my young pup was able to get lots of play time in. Danielle was great with communication and sending lots of updates and pics (which I love!). Highly recommend her and will come back again in the future.”
“Tomas took such good care of Brady! He kept us updated with pictures, and Brady loved all the play time and snuggles. Everything was very smooth, even with our last minute booking, and we appreciated how he went above and beyond!”
“We had our Maltese, Beau, stay with Miranda for just over a week. She kept us up to date about how he was doing. Actually, he made friends with two cats, which was a surprise to me. Beau was comfortable at Miranda's place. He was happy to see me when I picked him up, but I think he had fun staying at Miranda's.”

“We use rover A LOT and Ashley is one our favorite Rovers! Despite this being her first time, our cat seemed very happy when we came home, which is rare for him. And my plants looked great! We appreciated the detailed messages and photos and were impressed that she even took the time to look for hidden vomit from him! Thank you so much!!”
“Amanda was great with my kitties. They are all pretty shy to begin with but one of them is a harder one to befriend than the others. By the end of the 4 days that she was watching them, she was able to interact with that cat. I had a really last minute booking and she was very gracious about coming over to meet the cats before I left. She was able to get a picture of where each cat was on each day, even when one was hiding under the covers of the bed. It was nice to get the summary of how each cat reacted as well. Would recommend!”
“Natascha took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away and kept us updated with pictures every day. She even noticed some issues with our snake and chinchilla and was happy to take care of those for us so we didn’t have to bother our neighbor. It meant a lot knowing someone dependable was there to check in on them.”
“Constance spent a great deal of time at our meet and greet getting to know our dogs and me as the dog mom. I was so comfortable after that first meeting I asked her to check in on our cats that week! When I tell you she got the best photos of our “large and not so in charge” cat Henry Purrito…well, it made us happy. I could tell they were well cared for and happy. She’s responsive to requests, flexible and dependable. I’m looking forward to her walking our dogs five days a week!”
“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.”
“Always a great experience! Codi goes the extra mile to spend time with our cats when we’re out of town. I appreciate the update photos and know they are being well taken care of.”
“Khayl was great at updating us with our cats who loved to hide from everyone. She took care of our fish tanks and sent pictures of how the tanks looked during her visits.”
“This was our first time using this service, and we want to sincerely thank Kimberly for taking such great care of our cats. She did an excellent job! Kimberly was great at communicating, and we even had the chance to meet her before the service began, which gave us peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with her care and professionalism. Highly recommended!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of different personalities and temperaments, from playful and social to more shy or independent cats. I’ve cared for cats for family, and friends, including feeding, litter box cleaning, and daily check-ins. I’m patient and gentle, and I understand the importance of giving cats space while still making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also make sure they get attention, playtime, and care based on their individual needs and personality.
“Anna did a great job checking in on our kitty! Very attentive and helped out with the feeder too after I thought it stopped working. Very glad to have her checking in on our kitty!”
“I recently boarded my cat with Brianna. She gave me regular updates on my cat's behavior and well-being while I was away, which was reassuring. When I picked up my cat, he seemed happy and well-cared for :)”
“Karin did a great job with my cat, Koko! She provided updates on how my Koko was doing and sent pictures from her visits. Karin even helped managed a slightly stressed-out kitty mood or two while I was away and took the extra care to make sure everything was cleaned and fresh from food to litter areas. I was very happy with the care and the dialog with Karin around the drop-in visits. Awesome job!”
“Katherine did an exceptional job taking care of my two cats. One takes medication and can be fussy, she was able to get her to take her meds. When there were questions, the communication was prompt. Thanks again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - East Port Orchard
“So amazing to have Maegan watch my dogs! It was short notice, it was a long 14 day, and 11mo puppy is A LOT to deal with but Meagan and her family were up to the task. The dogs were happy and tired when I got them in the evening. My dogs even got to meet "weird dogs" (their goats) ?.”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Hongyee is amazing with my two dogs. Especially Mr. Watson whom requires medication. My pups are resting peacefully after a wonderful day. I'm so grateful to have found her and look forward to many more play dates at her home! ❤️😀”
“Charis was so great! We got updates throughout the day with pictures how our puppies were doing. It was their first time at doggy day care and they will definitely be back. They didn’t want to leave! She followed all instructions for feeding, and they were happy and worn out from all the fun playtime. Thank you for taking care of our Apollo and Rocky so well, we can’t wait to book with you again!”
“This was our first time booking a sitter/boarder for Lola and we had a great experience with Robin. I was fortunate to be able to book with her on fairly short notice for a weekday. We went from a daycare visit to an overnight stay seamlessly. She accepted my unspayed dog, which was also very fortunate. Lola had a fenced in yard, gracious family with kid(s), a clean home, and animals to keep her company during her stay. Overall, I found her responsive, easygoing and very accommodating. I'd feel safe bringing Lola to her again in the future. :)”
“Baloo had a great time with Valerie! She was prompt in responses and offered a meet and greet before we dropped him off on a holiday! She took great care of him and was very flexible with us.”
“We recently met Cathleen while out walking our two pups, as she was walking a pack of dogs. We were so impressed with how well-behaved her pack was that we got her information. We have since used Cathleen's pet boarding (one week), daycare, and training services, and have been very satisfied. Our dogs have come home happy and more settled after time with her, and her training is calm and effective.”
“Super friendly & attentive! Provided us with excellent updates of our Icky. It was very obvious how much they love and care for all the animals in their home. Thank you, Icky made good friends today!”
“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”
“I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say! I was so stressed trying to find a last minute situation for my dogs and Christina was amazing! She sent me many different pictures and updated me throughout the entire day, letting me know how Bear and Sitka were doing! I knew they were in great hands and I am very very happy and pleased with the service she provided! Thank you so much!”
“Reanna took wonderful care of my golden while we were having work done at our house. She patiently helped him recover from an upset tummy and provided ample cuddles and outdoor fun! I know he'd love to stay with her again!”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Liz was WONDERFUL. Communication was on point, she was gentle with my scared girl and made her feel safe; she played with my silly boy and forgave his over eagerness to befriend her kiddos, lol. I really did feel so safe knowing they were in her care. I would definitely recommend.”
“My puppy had a great time with Naiomi!!! Naiomi sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell my pup was having a great time, and I felt comfortable leaving her with Naiomi. We will totally use her in the future.”
About: - I am home all day (just my dog and I). - I have a fully fenced yard, often featuring an agility course and splash pad. - I have an entire room full of dog toys and treats. - I'm more than happy to send you photos of your dogs while you're away (at your request), as I know how hard it can be to be away from your dog. - The home is large and spacious and is well set-up for any breed of dog. - I have a 4.5 year old female Aussie who I have trained and cared for since she was 8 weeks old. - I have lived with dogs my whole life. - I am experienced with dog training (from puppy to adult; tricks, behavior, and agility). - By default, dogs are allowed in all places of my home. - I have most dog suppliers: toys, treats, puppy pads, first aid kit, dog beds, etc. Your dog will receive my undivided attention, care, and play when they board with me (both indoors and outdoors). I will make sure your dogs receive sufficient activity (If they are healthy enough for it). If your dogs like to play fetch, they're especially in luck here. I have a fenced yard and a large dog-safe home for dogs of any age. I will only crate your dog if you request it.
“Joni had a great time today at Kristina’s! She played all day, and now is a very tired and very satisfied puppy. They have a wonderful play hard and attentive family, I know Joni is in good hands when she’s there.”

“Ashley was the first person from Rover we’ve ever used and and she was amazing and put me at ease! I would definitely have her come hang out with my pup anytime! Thanks Ashley!”
“Chance is great, consistent, and our Woogs is very happy with the walks. Fully recommend him as very solid walker, especially for big dogs that like to pull and/or are high energy (ours is ~90 lbs). Our Woogs is looking forward to many more walks with Chance :)”
“Natascha was an amazing rover for Kirk! He enjoyed being walked by her so much, he walked more then the will let me walk him. Very understanding and great with Kirk and his shyness of other dogs!”
“Amanda accepted the assignment on short notice and communicated well about her availability and expected arrival time. Despite the rainy, cold weather she got Mack out for a long walk and managed his energy well. She clearly has a love of dogs.”
About: i grew up with parents that loved reptiles, farm animals, cats and dogs. at a young age i became responsible for feeding, then walking, the older i got, the more responsibilities i had. i’ve owned/ own big and small dogs, and a few crazy cats i’m currently going to school online, and not working. i leave my home to hike daily, or walk the around downtown daily in the mornings to catch the morning sun, and usually around sunset to stretch my legs. i would like to spend more time outside, and being able to help pet owners while getting the exercise i want would be amazing! Unfortunately i rent, so i cannot sit in my home! With my 10+ years of owning and pet sitting experience, home cleaning for my seasonal job, and having OCD…Your home and pet will be well cared for, and treated as my own.
“Constance is such a blessing for my dog and I. She is very reliable and always shows the same care and affection to Poppy as if she were her own. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have three cats and have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m a positive person and who enjoys gardening, going on walks, and being outside. I’m enjoying my retirement and have a flexible schedule! I typically wake up around 7 in the morning, get ready for the day, and work in my yard as needed/wanted. I feed my cats daily and give fresh water twice daily. I brush my cats weekly or as needed. The cats have toys they play with on their own and I use the laser toy when the cats want to play. They have a scratch post well.
“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”
About: I am currently only able to offer house sitting or drop in visits. My own little senior pup will accompany me. I have always had dogs, mostly rescues. They give so much and deserve our best care in return. I have a special fondness for seniors. I am retired with plenty of free time! I like to walk for exercise and, of course, it's better with a dog (or two or three)! In your home, I and my small senior dog will take good care of your pet(s) as well as your property. We like to go for walks every day.
“Codi was great! She saved me a lot of stress and worry when I couldn’t take my boy with me on a recent trip out of town. She took great care of him and he is happy and well and glad for me to be back home. Thanks Codi!!”
“Bobbi was amazing with Dewey and I felt confident of her character and integrity right from the start! She loved my little guy and helped me out with daily walks when my regular plan fell thru! Thank you, Bobbi! Dewey thanks you too! Robin”
“Katelyn is great with our fur child Quigley! She is dependable and has excellent communication! Quigley can be hesitant to go on walks and she has been patient and so helpful with him! 🐾 We love having her as a dog walker!”
About: 4 years doing volunteer week for shelters and a life time of loving on critters with fur and scales alike I have vast knowledge and the enthusiasm to learn! I have early mornings at the office so my services are after 3pm! I'm available on Sundays and Mondays! Super excited for those summer walks to tire your pup out for the evening! Your home is where your pet feels the safest! My jobs to provide nurturing care in said environment! :) Whatever your pet needs I'm here!
“Brian stepped in when our summer walker for River was out of town. And we’re so glad he did. An incredibly compassionate caretaker of dogs. We trusted Brian with our best boy both immediately and implicitly! Thank you Brian!”
About: I love dogs! I'm happy to reinforce any training as needed. I also love to take dogs on local adventures and walks in the surrounding areas. I'm currently a grad student and will be needing to make some extra money starting next month. I will be on a semi flexible schedule allowing for pet sitting and house sitting. I'm trustworthy and will follow through on any needs expressed. I appreciate clear and direct communication. If a specific request is unclear, I will ask.
