About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
“Emily and Bryan truly love dogs and what they are doing. We can trust our dog, Scannon with this caring and compassionate couple. We really appreciated the fun pictures and videos that Emily sent. We will definitely book with them again and would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Erika is an angel! First of all she agreed to care for our puppy 2 days after being spayed. Then our puppy did not do well and became ill with diarrhea and vomiting. She kept in close contact with us and continued to care for her. She had to make special food for our pup because of her diarrhea. Erika is just the sweetest person you will meet and she even washed all of the items in her kennel. We can not say enough positive things about her - if you need an angel to take care of your dog baby consider Erika!”
“Clooney Marie was very well taken care of by Chase & Jessica. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous at first. Highly recommend this couple. This dog mama was so happy my girl was in a good place with good people.”
“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Cathy & Matilda did a great job taking care of Jake. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs & enjoyed the special attention they gave him. It was so nice to receive pictures & updates from Cathy during the week. We will definitely ask Cathy & Matilda to sit for Jake again.”
“Kristal did an awesome job taking care of our 'baby" and making her feel at home while we were out of state for a wedding. She kept us up on how Shasta was doing & sent pictures each day. It was good to see how she had found her favorite spot in their home & also enjoyed their outside fenced-in yard. Since they no longer have a dog of their own & only take in one boarder at a time, she had more attention than some days at home! We would definitely take her to Kristal again.”
“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”
“This was my first time having my boy stay at Judy’s and I really appreciated all the contact I had with them all week. She sent lots of photos and updates, I think he’ll be bored silly back home with me! Thank you for taking such good care and making me feel comfortable as well! Beats being in a 3x6 cage all day at a kennel. So glad my Sister recommended Rover to me! Thank you Judy and Team!!”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Our dog had a really wonderful weekend with Bobbie and Clark! Communication was great and consistent throughout the weekend. We can tell they kept her comfortable, happy, and had lots of play time as well as snuggles! The fact that our dog ate all of her meals without skipping speaks volumes to Bobbie and Clark making her feel at home in their home! I would recommend 100% and we hope to use Bobbie and Clark again in the future.”
“Maria took such great care of our pup while we were away! She sent us pictures with updates, which made us feel connected! I highly recommend Maria for care, we will be booking again for future needs!”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Erica is brilliant! We had only had our shelter dog for four months but needed to board her when we flew to visit family. Our sweet dog is very good around the house and has learned a lot but has separation anxiety and leash reactivity. Not only did Erica do a great job with communication and adapting to our dog’s schedule, she also recommended, and went ahead with trying, a gentle leader. Also, even though Erica had just moved to an apartment, she made sure that was okay with us and made it work for our husky. We were worried that we’d lose a lot of progress on helping our shelter dog settle in, but Erica gave our dog a great boarding experience *and* helped her make a new dog friend! I can’t give a higher recommendation.”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.

“I'm so grateful that I booked with Dallas to check in on our cat! She took care of everything and provided an update that gave me peace of mind while being away. Her communication was excellent and the whole process was smooth. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Karlee was the perfect choice to check-in on our kitties while on vacation. She clearly loves animals and although they were hesitant with someone new, she was down on the floor talking to them and coaxing them out to play and cuddle. She even stopped by early one morning to make sure all was ok after a big storm the night before. She sent lots of pictures daily and provided a high level of comfort that they were being well taken care of while we were gone. We’ll definitely contact her again when needed.”
“Bethany was great ant accommodating all my needs and requests. My normally shy cat made a great connection and enjoying everytime she came over. Would 100% recommend Bethany to anyone with pet sitting needs.”
“While we were away on vacation Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Shirley. She was reliable and timely with her communication and followed care instructions. Would definitely recommend and rebook!”
About: I currently have a cat that I've had for about 2 years now. He only has 3 legs and I made sure to give him the extra love he needs to be a confident and silly kitty everyday. 2 weeks after adopting him, I took him to vet at the animals shelter to get his staples removed and carefully observed his arm for the next week or so to ensure no infections occur. He's been a happy and confident cat ever since.
“Olivia did a great job providing cat care for our five furry children. She gave medication to three of them and spent extra time working to get know each one. We would definitely hire Olivia again and highly recommend her.”
About: I am an animal lover through and through, cats includes!😄 How I care for cats comes from personal experience. I provide gentle, attentive, and compassionate care for whatever your kitties need. Cats are so fun with their unique personalities and temperaments. I look forward to getting to know your feline friend(s). If you want to know more, here are some of my personal experiences: 1) I grew up with our family cat, Nala. Raising Nala, I learned how to read feline behavior and needs from a young age. 2) Cat sitting for my neighbors’ two timid cats has been invaluable as well. Knowing how to respect space and create a calm environment is key. 3) I also enjoy playing with my brother-in-law’s cat, Kumiko. Knowing how to keep a feline stimulated mentally and physically through their senses is important for any kitties well-being and overall happiness.
“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
“Our normally well-behaved dogs decided to ransack their room while we were gone for an afternoon. Upon her arrival at our house, not only did Amanda straighten up their mess but she also fed them, spent plenty of time with them outside, sent me pics of her visit, and even left them treats for Christmas. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter who goes the extra mile for her clients.”
About: Hi, you can call me Lolo. I am a big lover of dogs and had a small dog growing up. I have been walking dogs since the summer of 2021. I have experience with walking medium sized and smaller dogs, but I am open to any size and type of breeds. I even have experience watching cats and had birds growing up as a child. I am currently a stay at home mom which gives me more flexibility and choosing to do what I love the most, which is spending time with and taking of dogs! I am very responsible, attentive, and outgoing which are all some qualities I think are very important when it comes to taking care of dogs. I am looking forward to meeting you and your sweet dog(s)! I am a stay at home mom and have a lot of downtime to spend some time with your dogs. Pet care is a job for me and my schedule is very flexible! I have crate training experience. My neighborhood is very safe and I live in a house with a lot of trees and woods so the dogs can run around. There are not too many dogs around, so you won’t have to worry about other dogs!
“Brittany did a fantastic job with my crew of 4 dogs!! They loved her. She gave updates after each visit and was very quick on her response. I will absolutely reach out to her again to care for my fur babies. Thank you Brittany!!!”
About: I have grown up with several felines and canines my entire life. I have been responsible for their care for several years, including several animals in their older years. I possess a quite relaxed personality, which is beneficially picked up by most animals. I am also capable of providing necessary exercise for animals of an increased energetic disposition. Dog walks can be taken at a leisurely pace, or one more accelerated, depending on dog's needs. I am looking to supplement my current income, as well as enjoy the company of more cats and dogs. My current job offers flexible hours, so I am available most hours during the afternoon to night for necessary care needs (walks, feeding, letting out,vet appointments). I look forward to satisfying your pets needs.
About: I have been around cats all my life. I grew up with a family of cats as a child. I had my own pet cat Marley in my early adulthood. I had him for 14 years. He is currently living with a friend who wouldn't give him back to me after watching him for a few months. I miss him, but it's all for the best as I have just recently moved to Bremerton. I also had a Saint Bernard who passed away of brian cancer in July 2021 at the age of 9.

About: We recently lost our senior dog, so we have lots of doggy love available for your pet! I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention, frequent visits to the backyard, and a walk at lunchtime. I work from home full time, so I'm here to interact with your pet and provide frequent breaks for play and potty. My boyfriend gets home from work in the late afternoon and will shower your pet with affection as well! I have a small, unfenced yard and will let your dog outside on a long lead to keep him/her safe and under my supervision. Your dog will have access to kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, and up to 3 bedrooms. Basement will not be accessible.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the more unique critters! I have experience with animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. As a proud pet parent to two Great Danes, I understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. My top priorities are making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I work around my kids’ homeschooling schedule. That means I’m home throughout the day and night, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If your pet is staying with us for boarding, they’ll never be left alone—we’re always home, and your furry friend will be treated like part of the family. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday cuddles, or nighttime check-ins, I have the flexibility to meet your pet’s needs with love and consistency. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment where animals can relax and feel at home—whether I’m visiting your house or welcoming your pet into mine. I follow each pet’s unique routine and take time to understand their needs, behaviors, and preferences. I’m experienced with crates, medications, feeding routines, and even a little light training reinforcement if needed. In our home, your pet will be surrounded by love and never left alone—we’re always home, and your pet will get plenty of attention and care. I live with two gentle Great Danes and two calm, pet-friendly cats, all of whom are well-socialized and respectful of new guests. We keep our environment clean, peaceful, and low-stress to make every pet feel safe and welcome. I’m also happy to go the extra mile—whether that means watering your plants, bringing in packages, or keeping you updated with sweet photo messages. I truly care about your pets and your peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been involved in their daily care including feeding, walking, and playtime. As a former college athlete, I’m very active and dependable, and would love to take your dog on walks and runs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I also have experience with off leash training! I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet’s needs. As a former college athlete, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being dependable. I’m available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s specific schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I do not currently have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I have a large backyard and plenty of indoor space for dogs to play and relax. I live in a quiet, residential area that is great for walks, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and your pet’s comfort.
“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”
About: ☀️$35/night for bookings during August 1st-September 30th! Discount applied at booking. Does not include Rover's booking fees. Holidays discounted to $43/night. When your pup comes here, you can expect heart, home, and a whole lot of wholesome fun! 🐾💛 Our business model is built on trust, transparency, professionalism, and safety. We are also fully insured by a third party. ✔️ We have owned a dog all our lives! We currently have one dog, Sadie, who is the most affectionate hostess you could meet. 🥰 Between Bryan and Emily, hours are logged volunteering at the humane society, dog-sitting for large and small dogs alike, and experiencing all personalities. With over 15 years of personal experience pre-Rover and over 5 years on Rover, we treat dogs personally, as the individuals they are! Developing a personal understanding is our priority so that the dog feels comfortable and well-loved, even if mom or dad aren't there. The activities naturally follow! Our family favorites are long walks, visits to the dog park, and zoomies around the house. Our family can't wait to add your dog to our fluffy circle of friends! We have one toddler. We have enough space to keep her separate from the dogs we take on and take every precaution to promote complete safety. Regardless, we do require all dogs to be tolerant of children as a baseline precaution! (*PLEASE NOTE* Dogs MUST be friendly with other dogs and children. A meet and greet is required prior to any new bookings. Due to the fact we want to accommodate daycare and boarding clients, we require as a prerequisite that your dog be good with other dogs as there may be times they overlap. We take every precaution to keep any overlapping dogs separate unless/until we are 100% confident they will be safe and friendly buddies! We will also *always* ask first about your comfort level with overlapping bookings! For new clients, overlapping is avoided if at all possible. Sometimes, it just happens, be it a few hours of daycare or a pickup/drop off. Thank you for understanding.) Emily is a stay at home mom. Bryan works a mile away and comes home for lunch! We try to make it a daily routine to fit a walk into the morning or the evening. Our schedules are extremely conducive to pet care! *EXPANSION COMING SUMMER 2026* A personal home environment with large kennel standards. ✨ Fully insured with policies built on trust. We live in the spacious upper unit of the duplex we own. Our home is dog-proofed - everything edible is either well out of reach or, in the case of our trash can, has a child lock. Our yard is not fenced in (soon to change, stay tuned!) so we ensure our dogs are securely leashed before exiting. Currently, we max out at two dogs taken in at a time, only with explicit owner permission to overlap dogs from different households. When we expand in August '26, we will raise that to 4 with the ability to keep small dogs (30lbs and under) completely separate from large dogs, and keep all dogs separate from each other. We regularly clean and sanitize dog spaces and dishes! Emily and Bryan are experienced in dog behavior. We monitor all play very closely and keep dogs in separate rooms at meal times. Dogs are encouraged to join us on the couches and overall treated like family – minus the access to human food, of course, much to their chagrin. ;)
“Bonnie was amazing with our dog Cinnamon! We were in town for my daughter’s dance competition when a blizzard completely changed our plans. Bonnie was incredibly understanding and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to stay an extra night because travel was so dangerous. She even offered to help with anything Cinnamon might need since we hadn’t planned on being away another day. Cinnamon had a wonderful time playing with Bonnie’s fur babies and came home happy and completely exhausted from all the fun. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pup like their own, Bonnie is fantastic. Highly recommend!”
“Judy and Paul provide the perfect day care for our lab. She needs security and activity. Judy ‘s place is very dog friendly and Paul made sure Rona had supervised play that included fetch, Rona’s favorite pastime. I would recommend Judy and would plan to use her dog care service whenever we are back in the area.”
“Quite gracious and friendly. Bobbie and Clark were most accommodating on short notice. They were great with our dog who clearly had a terrific time in Bobbie and Clark’s wonderful care.”
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Kenzie is so great with our pup!! Her entire family treats her as if she was theirs :) She loves to visit and always comes back tired from playing with other dogs and the family. Finding Kenzie has been a blessing because as our pup has aged she just doesn’t do well with kennel boarding anymore. Highly recommend her to anyone that wants their dog to feel loved while you are away!”
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
About: I am specialized in training all types of dogs! I make sure that the dog is taken care of and is having a blast while the parents are gone! I am very outgoing, active, and good at communicating. I currently work part time as a server so I am available whenever just may have to step away for a couple hours to waitress. I have tons of grass area at my house, and have a ton of room as well for the dog to move around and play when needed!
About: My husband and I have been watching dogs in our home for over 10 years. Our busy lives of work and family have always held us back from owning our own dog. To satisfy our love for dogs we started watching our friends and families dogs and over the years thru word of mouth we have started getting phone calls asking if we would take on more dogs and then joined Rover. We have experience with small to large dogs, dogs with special dietary needs, dogs that need to be able to run, dogs that want to sit on your lap, to dogs that have medical needs. We believe that dogs should be treated as part of the family. We allow them to sit on furniture, sleep in bed etc.. Our jobs have afford us the ability to be able to adjust our schedules to be flexible and have the option to work from home when we have a dog staying with us. This allows us to be home with your dog to ensure they are getting plenty of play time, outside time and lots of attention. It is very rare that your dog will be home alone for a period of time. Our home is your dogs home... we give the dogs full access to the house. We are non smokers and do not have any pets of our own or small children. We walk the dogs twice a day and have an acre of land that dogs are free to roam, run and play -we like to play ball and tug a rope. We do provide a ground stake with a leash for those that like to run "free". We have ability to work from home and have very flexible schedules when needed. Which in turn allows us to very rarely leave your dog home alone We treat the dogs just as if they were our very own pet.. as part of the family. They have free range of the house .. on the furniture and beds.
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside.

I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
About: Our family loves animals. We have a comfortable home with a large yard. We have three caring boys that love pets. We are not quite ready to bring a dog into our home full-time because of traveling, but we love to have the company of a pet from time to time. Recently, our youngest has been showing allergy symptoms, so we are only able to watch hypo-allergenic dogs. The dog is treated like our own and spoiled during their stay with us. I work from home with my skincare business, so most of the day, I am home with the pets. We welcome potty trained dogs to our home that do well with children. We can adjust our care style to what makes you most comfortable. I also love to do drop in visits and fill the Rover cards with lots of info and pictures to keep your mind at ease. For these visits, the dogs can be any breed. I work from home and set my schedule, so being a Rover sitter is a nice little extra for me. It is easy to work with and around schedules. We have a large, unfenced backyard. We take dogs on nice walks around our neighborhood. We only board one dog at a time, so it feels like a family setting.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of different animals for as long as I can remember. Starting on my family’s hobby farm. We had many kinds of birds, rabbits, and dogs.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments. I truly love all animals and understand that every pet is different. I've taken care of friends and families pets in the past and I always have the absolute best time! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.
About: I am training my own dog as a psychiatric service animal and have learned much going through this process. I am not a licensed trainer, but I do have experience in that area, which I enthusiastically bring to each walk. I'm flexible with scheduling and do my best to make things as simple and convenient as possible even if that means scheduling outside of my availability schedule when possible. Additionally, if I have any upcoming dates that I am unavailable this will be communicated well in advance. Availability schedule: Monday= 8am-10am Tuesday= 8am-6pm Wednesday= 8am-6pm Thursdays= 8am-11am (craft fair season), 8am-6pm (rest of year) F= 8am-10am Sat= 2pm-6pm (craft fair season), 8am-6pm (rest of year) My general motto is always leave the space looking better upon leaving then when you first arrived. This applies to animals too. Always leave a pet happier, more content, calmer, etc. after being with them. Have multiple pets? No problem. The more the merrier.
“Melissa does so well with sunny. She comes in on time, and made it so much easier for us as my wife had surgery and I was working from home. Highly highly recommend. I never worry where sunny is or what hes up to and he loves seeing her.”
About: I owned a dog for over a decade, and babysat dogs/ cats many times. I worked with animals at a zoo so I’m good at reading them and respecting their boundaries! I work second shift (3-11pm) M-F so check ins would work best for those days. I can still dog/cat sit during the weekdays if you’re are okay with your pets being alone for a full shift, or being watched by my parents (while pets are boarded at our house). My weekends are completely open! I have a large backyard and tennis court. I also live near a very nice bike trail for long walks. I have no other animals in the house. I have ramps for small/old dogs.
About: I have been dog sitting for over a year, watching over both puppies and seniors. Along with this, I am able to care for dogs of all sizes. Hello! I am home from college for the summer, meaning I have plenty of free time to help you and your furry friends out! Please feel free to ask any questions about me, my skills, or my hobbies if you feel so inclined :) When watching over pets in a clients home I am sure to ask about your pets routine as well as anything I may need to find. I will be sure to care for your pet so both you and you furry friend are as comfortable as possible.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine my life without them. I have taken care of senior dogs and puppies. Would love to spend time and get to know more dogs! I am currently unemployed and only have class on Wednesdays and a school club meeting on Thursdays. Weekends are usually busy for me but Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays would probably work good. I always make sure dogs have good clean water. If a dog has certain requirements such as high energy or low energy I will make sure I take the time to understand and form trust with your dog.
About: My family and I had a dog of our own for about 13 years during my childhood, allowing me to gain experience in feeding, training, and walking dogs. Now that she has sadly passed away, I would love to give other pets the same love I am no longer able to give to my own pet. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to smother your pets with my love! Late mornings and early afternoons are the times that typically work best for me, but I am flexible and willing to try anything! I will only allow pets that are fine being outside because my house does not allow pets indoors. I have a large yard surrounded by fields in a rural area where pets are free to roam in sight as long as they’re well-trained.
“We are fortunate to have Annie on an on-going basis to visit our dog Molly for potty breaks and walks while we are at work. Annie always responds promptly to any communication, questions or booking inquiries. When she visits Molly she leaves a detailed log about the visit. It's obvious that Annie loves pets and she goes above and beyond to give Molly love, affection, attention, exercise and an outdoor break each visit. When Annie is scheduled to visit, we know Molly will receive great care and a needed break and that gives us tremendous peace of mind. We love Annie!”
About: I am specialized in training all types of dogs! I make sure that the dog is taken care of and is having a blast while the parents are gone! I am very outgoing, active, and good at communicating. I currently work part time as a server so I am available whenever just may have to step away for a couple hours to waitress. I have tons of grass area at my house, and have a ton of room as well for the dog to move around and play when needed!
About: Several years of experience with out pay. I have been around pups and dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I am extremely great with animals. I promise to take care of your family member just as I would my own. Mine are most likely better taken care of then most people's children! I am very efficient, caring and wear my heart on my sleeve. I also have fostered animals in need. You will be nothing less than happy with my services. I am used to working with large animals to small animals. I want to be able to make the animals feel like they are at home when they see me walking through the door. I hope this all helps you when considering me.
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
About: Hello. My name is Kirsten. Thank you for considering me to take care of your fur baby(ies). I have been pet sitting for three or more years. In 2014, I had fought my phobia. I had a fear of dogs which I continued to fight. After two years, I started to volunteer bringing therapy dogs to nursing homes and I even started pet sitting an english Mastiff, Golden retriever and three cats. I have found my love for dogs and cats and continue to petsit. I also go on fun walks with dogs. I also have taken care of rabbits as well. There is no other way to have the best day ever but to have the best day ever with your fur babies. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet(s). I am currently babysitting from 7:30am to 1pm on weekdays and I work 5a to 5p on Saturdays. I have open availability besides those times. I don’t provide boarding in my own home but when I am caring for pets in your home, I ask that you please provide to me in writing what medications, feed times, veterinarian numbers, your number, and all other information.
About: I grew up around cats and have been living with dogs since I was 20. My first experience with dogs was my roommates/bestfriends Rottweiler. I knew the dogvtill the day he died. I got my first dog when I was around 30, a Saint Bernard. He pasted away July 2021, he was my best buddy. He suffered from cancer his last months and needed lots of special care. I have no problems caring for senior dogs, big dogs, active dogs, lazy dogs or puppies! I have experience managing multiple large breed dogs at the same time. I currently am unemployed as I just moved to Bremerton(to be with my girlfriend) a few weeks ago. I love dogs, they are my favorite. I treat dogs with respect and kindness. Lots of playtime, petting, and walks. If the dog is looking for attention I will give it to them. I lived with a Saint Bernard, there was no ignoring him!
About: I had dogs my whole life growing up. I currently don’t have an my pets so have the resources and time to give great care. I am active and willing to keep pets active and healthy. I am home and available full time over the summer. I work from home in summers so can be very flexible with the needs and desires of pets. I don’t have a fenced in yard but there is a field with plenty of room to run. I also live close to a dog park. Unless told otherwise, your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention!

About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
“Emily and Bryan truly love dogs and what they are doing. We can trust our dog, Scannon with this caring and compassionate couple. We really appreciated the fun pictures and videos that Emily sent. We will definitely book with them again and would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Erika is an angel! First of all she agreed to care for our puppy 2 days after being spayed. Then our puppy did not do well and became ill with diarrhea and vomiting. She kept in close contact with us and continued to care for her. She had to make special food for our pup because of her diarrhea. Erika is just the sweetest person you will meet and she even washed all of the items in her kennel. We can not say enough positive things about her - if you need an angel to take care of your dog baby consider Erika!”
“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“Our dog Oakley seemed to have loved his time with Julie and her family for the weekend. She has 2 dog which our dog seemed comfortable with after the meet and greet. She sent photos and videos of their adventures. Missed our pup for the weekend, but glad we got updates and knew he was in good hands. Also having some other pups to play with was great since he doesn't normally have that type of activities so I'm sure he enjoyed himself.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”
“This was my first time having my boy stay at Judy’s and I really appreciated all the contact I had with them all week. She sent lots of photos and updates, I think he’ll be bored silly back home with me! Thank you for taking such good care and making me feel comfortable as well! Beats being in a 3x6 cage all day at a kennel. So glad my Sister recommended Rover to me! Thank you Judy and Team!!”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Sarah has been an excellent host for our dachshund Rupert! She has been very gracious navigating his tendency for separation anxiety and he has come back home both times in a great mood where other experiences we can tell he's tired from being away from us and anxious. She's very communicative, sending updates and photos through his stays and very flexible with dropoff and pickup. We hope to have him back when he needs a place to stay!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“We were so grateful to have found Annie! She is a dog lover and excellent at providing updates and pictures. We felt Celeste was in a safe, caring place and will use her services in the future.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Erica is brilliant! We had only had our shelter dog for four months but needed to board her when we flew to visit family. Our sweet dog is very good around the house and has learned a lot but has separation anxiety and leash reactivity. Not only did Erica do a great job with communication and adapting to our dog’s schedule, she also recommended, and went ahead with trying, a gentle leader. Also, even though Erica had just moved to an apartment, she made sure that was okay with us and made it work for our husky. We were worried that we’d lose a lot of progress on helping our shelter dog settle in, but Erica gave our dog a great boarding experience *and* helped her make a new dog friend! I can’t give a higher recommendation.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Frankie this weekend!! Our dog Kora had such great spirits when we picked her up, after spending the day and evening with Frankie!!! Will definitely go back to have her host for daycare for our little Kora!!”
“Addison did a wonderful job watching our dog, Jackson! We felt very at ease with him staying with her overnight and really appreciated the multiple updates with photos she sent us! She is very friendly and was quick to respond to all communication. We would definitely use Addison as a dog sitter again in the future!”
