“Yesenia was wonderful! She looked after my dog while I was away on vacation. Dropped in frequently, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone going away or who needs someone to let their dog out while they’re at work.”

“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time leaving the pups for a week (one is only 5 months old and full of energy). She took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us photos and videos of the pups with updates. She went above and beyond. Even gave my pup a bath before we got home. It’s not easy leaving your pups but we were at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were away. So grateful we found her! Highly recommend!! Would love to have her watch our pups again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Mona! She was on time, attentive, and professional, and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing our fur babies, Ziggy and Rooster, were in such good hands. Mona kept us updated throughout her time with them, which we really appreciated. The best part is that Ziggy and Rooster absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares for our dogs, and we would highly recommend Mona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”

About: I adore dogs and I will love your furry, four-legged family member like my own! I will give them a ton of love and take them for long walks and give them plenty of belly rubs! I have taken care of pets since I was 13 years old and I have loved every minute of it. It's taught me a lot and I promise your fur baby will be well taken care of! Give me a call!! I do work full time but my schedule is typically afternoon shifts so I can be home overnight with your fur babies and I am free to spend as much time with them when I am not working! I am open to staying over with your pet or running over at any time to check on them. I have a car so I could also drive to any appointments as well and I send a ton of pictures every day to keep you updated!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old and constantly go and watch my sisters dogs once every two months I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and most weekends. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with every pet, provide constant supervision, and maintain a clean, calm environment. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own.

About: Hi! I’m Jerrica, a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with 10 years of experience in the veterinary medical field and a lifelong love for animals. 🐾 My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by caring for your pets like they’re part of my own family. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems “off,” caring for pets with a variety of needs, and making sure every pet in my care is safe, comfortable, and happy. Pet sitting with me is about more than meals, potty breaks, and a cozy place to sleep! I incorporate mental enrichment, playtime, exercise, affection, and plenty of one-on-one attention based on your pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether they love toys and games, exploring outside, snuggling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I want their stay to feel like a fun little vacation of their own. 🐶🐱❤️ When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. Pet care isn’t something I have to squeeze into my schedule—it is my schedule! 🐾 As a full-time pet sitter, my days are centered around the pets in my care, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and enrichment throughout the day. I keep my schedule flexible so I can accommodate each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, medications, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, active, and feeling like part of the family! 🐾❤️ For pets staying with me, I have a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and potty breaks, and I also offer leash walks for exercise and enrichment. For dogs who enjoy a little adventure and have their owner’s permission, I can provide transportation to local dog parks for some extra exercise and fun. My home also includes my friendly little Corgi, Cheesecake, along with my two school-aged kids, so pets who enjoy children and other dogs have plenty of opportunities for companionship, playtime, and attention. Of course, I tailor each stay to the individual pet—quieter guests are given their own space and downtime, while our social butterflies can join in on the fun! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. No matter which service you choose, I want your pet to receive the same kind of attentive, loving care I’d want for my own. 🐶🐱

“Aniyah did a great job house sitting our Cane Corso and ChiPin. She kept us updated with pics and took excellent care of our fur babies! She Fed, watered, and administered meds to each. She kept them occupied and they really enjoyed spending time with her. As a bonus, the house was immaculate! I strongly recommend Aniyah for house sitting and look forward to having her on a regular basis.”

About: I greatly enjoy meeting and caring for everyone and anyone’s pets! Learning how they each communicate as well as helping them live peaceful, more fun, and enriched lives. I also work a part time job so besides my shifts there I’m happy to be available for walks and check ins! I’m almost always available in the afternoons and evenings but mornings may vary. When visiting a home to care for a pet I’m sure to give them time to greet me however they feel comfortable and talk to them as much as they need while preparing them for a walk &/or cleaning their space.

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kent

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 713 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kent. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kent walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kent maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kent choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kent. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
