“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“James was fabulous with our Ace. As a senior dog, he's a little bit of a slow mover but James made sure he was well cared for and we will definitely book him again when we travel.”
“Our dogs had an AMAZING experience with Bailey and Kyle! They were so welcoming and loving to our fur babies from the moment they met, and it was beyond evident that they are true dog lovers! They shared pictures with us throughout their stay and kept us up to date on how much FUN they were all having. In all seriously, our dogs were sad to leave! This was the most comfortable I've ever felt while away on vacation...our dogs were in such good hands!”
“Charis (and family) did a great job with our two fur babies. We were very concerned leaving them behind for the first time but after visiting her we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She sent us pictures the day after we left and had them all cleaned up (I know they were a mess after being in this wet nasty weather) and ready to go with more updated pictures the day we picked them up. Thank you!”
“Alisha, Joshua, and family took wonderful care of our dog while our family was out of town for two weeks. We were nervous to leave her for so long but our nerves were immediately calmed when we met them and, further, received regular updates with sweet photos of our dog looking right at home with them. Alisha even went above and beyond and drove her home while we were navigating customs, long term parking shuttles, and the ferry home after a very long travel day coming from Southeast Asia. We had a happy, well cared for dog waiting for us when we arrived. Highly recommend this lovely family and will definitely reach out again for any future trips we need to take without our scruffy gal ❤️”
“This was Shadow's second stay with Jenn and he was so excited upon arrival I don't think he noticed when I left. I got plenty of pictures and updates and Shadow look like he's having a great time. I highly recommend Jenn.”
“Thank you MIranda!! I was a very high maintenence customer and Miranda stood by me the whole time! She sent regular updates on potty walks and poops, nap times, and meal times. She was so gracious and flexible with my up and down schedule. She is an above and beyond sitter! Your fur baby is in good hands.”
“I left my dog with Maria for 8 nights while on a family vacation. I couldn't recommend her enough if you have a small old dog. She took such great care of Napoleon and he had a blast at Maria's house with all the other dogs. Maria is caring, provided daily updates (pics/videos), and is very detail oriented to ensure all dogs are cared for. We will definitely be booking with Maria again for our future boarding needs.”
“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!”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Great experience using Lorelei to watch Coco for 5 days. She sent photos and videos of her playing with the other dogs. Upon arriving to pick Coco up, I could tell she had a good time because she was acting just like the other dogs. I would definitely use Lorelei again and recommend her to someone who needs a sitter”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Celia and her family treated Roo like one of their own, and she came home happy and relaxed. We felt completely comfortable and will absolutely book with Celia again.”
“One of the kindest & sweetest sitter we have experienced! Julie is so fantastic & wonderful that I can tell little Tobi had a great weekend with her! She kept us updated each day so we were able to put our minds at ease. Thank you so much and hopefully we can book you again!”
“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.”
“A friend recommended David to me, and I’m so glad they did! My schedule is incredibly hectic, but they were so patient, understanding, and kept me updated with great communication the entire time. I absolutely loved getting all the picture updates. Most importantly, my pup came home so happy and he made some new friends. I highly recommend!”
“Jassem & Josh were the perfect dog sitters! It was my first time using Rover and they ensured that I felt my dog was in good hands during his entire stay. They were communicative, understanding with my lengthy messages :) and sent us pupdates which we looked forward to daily. I don't think my dog wanted to leave their house. I will absolutely be using them again!”
“Donna was so nice to our little old man beagle. When we came to pick him up he thought we were just taking him outside to use the bathroom and then he tried to go right back into the house. Obviously he is missing his summer camp friends and Donna’s kindness. If you need a local sitter in Port Orchard you’ll be happy with her.”

“Codi was so incredibly thoughtful and proactive! My cat Felix did so well with her. He is such sweet introvert and he actually came out while she was there. Complete shock he did that but so happy he felt so comfortable. Thank you for everything Codi!!!”
About: I am new to the world of cats but determined to make your loved one my best friend! I have a few neighborhood cats that I feed and am always looking for more experiences with pets of any kind.
“Anna is the best sitter I could ask for. I trust her 100% to make sure my cat LeRoy is cared for when I’m out of town. She is responsive and keeps me up to date. This is the third time Anna has sat for LeRoy and it won’t be the last! I adore Anna!”
“Mary checked on our two cats while we were out of town. She did great! We appreciated all her updates and pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Amanda is reliable and trustworthy, and my 2 cats were very comfortable with her nearly immediately. One is afraid of everyone and made friends with her right away. I highly recommend her.”
“Cara was fantastic! She was really thorough in taking good care of my kitty girl and kept me updated with pictures the whole time I was gone. I really appreciated her and would recommend her!”
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
“Kimberly is a fantastic cat sitter! Highly dependable and communicative, she enables me to have a peace of mind while I travel for work knowing that my cat (Xander) is in excellent care”
“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.”
“Khayl was a really excellent sitter for our two kitties Magic and Pepper. The detailed updates with photos, videos, and information really put my mind at ease over vacation and I knew the kitties were getting VIP treatment! I will definitely book with Khayl again and cannot recommend her enough.”
“Constance was quick to reply from the very beginning even when I first reached out and had never used Rover for a cat sitter. She took the time to come over for a meet and greet to get the layout and to learn our cats feeding schedule and where the toys and food and trays were located. I loved receiving the little notes and photos of our cat after every visit. These check ins were peace of mind that our cat was being well cared for while getting some snuggle and playtime in each day. Thank you so much for caring for the well-being of our cat while we were away. We will contact Constance again since she did great!”
“Gradee & Jerry took great care of our cats while we were gone for a week! They boarded one cat at their house & did drop-in visits for our other two cats. Jerry also gave our senior cat her insulin injections twice a day. We highly recommend them & will definitely use them again anytime we have to go out of town. Thank you!!”
“Meghan was able to board our recently adopted kitty on short notice. She took extra special care of him and really made him feel a part of her home. Our kitty got plenty of love and companionship in addition to stellar care while he was with Meghan. Would highly recommend!!”

“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😊”
“We appreciate you so much, Finni and Sophie appreciate you caring for them. They seem to have really enjoyed their day. Thank you so much for your kindness.”

“This was Mortimer's 1st day care visit to Hongyee & Bear, & things went great!..Hongyee familiarized Mort to her property bfr introducing him to the other dogs...when it was time to pick him up, she was waiting for me with him ready to go & informed me of how his day went - she even sent me a pic earlier of him lying down resting.”
“It was my first time trying out a sitter for Wee and I was very nervous, but Steven and Rachel completely alleviated that worry with frequent updates, photos and genuine care for my pup. When I next need a sitter, Wee will definitely be staying with them. Thank you Steven and Rachel! :)”
“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.”
“Amanda is amazing! She was so kind to watch my 13 week old golden retriever puppy Millie. Millie played all day! She was able to meet a new friend and run and dig to her hearts content. Amanda was so sweet to send me pictures and videos so I was not anxious during her first day away.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of animals of all ages, sizes and breeds! I am a huge dog lover with a huge heart for every animal!

I have always had a passion for animals and will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I am currently available 24/7! I am a full time sitter and I am always home, so your pets will never be alone or in a kennel. I have an open schedule on the weekdays, weekends and I am even available on holidays! I do not currently work which gives me all of the time in the world to play, love on, and cuddle your fur babies! I am flexible on dates, long term and short term, as well as last minute care needed! I have a spacious 3 bedroom townhome with plenty of grassy areas, one dog park in the vicinity, and a short commute to larger parks and dog parks!

I stay home with my two children so I will be home pretty much all day/night to take care of your fur babies! If I ever have to step out it’s not for long and I always come right back. I follow instructions to a T! If you have any specific instructions please provide them via message or written down. I try to make the experience here for the animal the exact same as it would be at home, so staying on their schedule is key! I am willing to accommodate any requests you may have (crating them, brushing them, bathing them etc). Please keep in mind that bathing/grooming is an extra fee but if asked about I will have no issue doing so!

“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”

“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Brianna was great, ready for our arrival and Mila took to her just fine. I put a lot of stock into how my Pup greets someone, and it was very comfortable. I appreciate that the house was close to where I needed to be and the calendar was open. Thank you for taking care of my girl”

“Melody and Rufus enjoyed their time with Anne. Anne took great care of them both and we will be having her take them both for walks weekly. Thank you for being so great with our dogs💕”
“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”
“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”
“Amanda is so sweet and takes extra care when it comes to pups. Our little nuggets, Apollo and Cassie, adore her and she was really accommodating to their different on-leash walking styles. Thank you, Amanda!”
“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!”

I prioritize safety, communication, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll always follow your instructions, keep pets supervised, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have been taking care of others pets for about 5 years now and have had family pets of the furry, feathered, and scaly varieties my entire life. I've mucked stalls, scooped poop, cleaned cat boxes, all of the not so glamorous parts, and have enjoyed walking, playing and spending quality time while meeting each furry friends every day needs. I currently have a French Bulldog named Sophie and a Leopard Gecko named Leo who I have loved taking care of every day! I am currently on summer vacation so I am free every day except for one vacation I have planned in August (which is blocked out on my calendar). I am able and willing to stay as many days as you need in your home any time of the week with your pets. I am very flexible with my schedule so I can extend stays if needed. I plan on getting a regularly scheduled job after summer so my schedule will be less open but after communication I can let you know if I am available or not. My basic pet care will include bringing pets to the bathroom about every 2-4 hours, feeding pets required amount told by owners, playing with pets multiple times a day, cleaning up after pets, and any other special care instructions given by owners. Care may vary depending on the type of animal.
“Sarah was fantastic with our pup!! Looking forward to having her help with walking our boy in the future! We’re happy to recommend her for any and all dog walking needs!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I’m active duty Navy, my job is a working dog handler. I have basic CPR training for dogs as well as the knowledge and training to perform basic medical care for dogs. I promise to treat your dog with love, care and kindness. Pet care fits into my daily routine by me making your pets a priority, I will be with them during my available off time, you’ll get tons of photos and we do plenty of play time and walks. I’m beyond respectful of your home and your space, I have no problem cleaning up after your pets or even doing simple chores around the home. My space gets cleaned regularly, I value a clean home. I will protect your pets as if they were my own.
About: I saved my Chihuahua, Thistle, from a kill shelter when he was 18 months old. I nursed him through being hit by a car, helped him gain weight from being underfed, and encouraged him to be a confident dog (he was extremely anxious) through training and gentle love and care. From this, I learned how to administer medications to animals, so I can provide this kind of care to your fur babies also. My Chihuahua is now a senior dog, but you wouldn’t be able to tell with how active he is! He gets lots of walks and play time, and he loves it best when I get on the floor with him. I am comfortable getting to know your pet and giving them the level and type of attention that they need! I looked into breed specific care, and Chihuahuas have weaker joints, so I put him on a joint supplement right when I got him, and it has really made a difference in his mobility and quality of life. It’s important to administer care to animals in the specific way that is best for them! I would show the same consideration to your pet. That includes factoring in their temperament. As my dog has gotten older, his needs around personal boundaries have increased, so I make sure to check in with him before petting him, picking him up, or otherwise touching him, and I do not touch him if he gives me a no, except in an actual emergency (i.e. the animal could be hurt or hurt someone else if I do not touch them). Instead, I do something else and check in again later. This allows me to establish a real felt sense of safety and trust with your pet. I also had cats all growing up, and have a real affection for them, as well as a clear understanding of their boundaries. I would be honored to care for your pet family just as I care for mine! I currently freelance, which means I have the freedom to take care of your pets whenever you need me to. I can be flexible to your needs. As my dog is a people’s dog and not a dog’s dog, I offer my services in your home. I can walk your pet, do a drop-in visit, or housesit! I will follow your instructions to the letter, and ask about any specific or special care your pet might need.
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.
“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've been caring for my own pets since the age of 18. Always my neighbors' go-to for pet sitting because they know I love every animal as if they were my own! I currently work part-time and PRN in healthcare. I have flexible hours and can adapt schedules based on need and availability. I keep my availability updated regularly here! My apartment complex has a large fenced off doggy play area which will be accessed regularly, as well as safe walking areas and trails nearby. If I am caring for your pets at your home, I will inquire about preferred and safe walking areas, your pet's favorite types of play and exercise, and any other special needs your pet may have!
“Amanda is the best! We love her and more importantly, Mack (our dog) loves her! She is great with communication, always goes above and beyond, and we are so thankful for her! Thanks for everything Amanda!”

“Pepper did an overnight after a meet and greet in preparation for a longer future stay with Kirsten. This was Pepper's first time away from us.

So nice to have found a dog sitter champion close to us. Will definitely return. ??”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
