“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“Isabel was amazing. We left our 1 year Golden Retriever, Keely with her while we went to Europe for 10 days. We were updated almost daily with pictures and nice commentary. Keely seemed so well adjusted and happy when we picked her up it was like we never left. I would definitely recommend Isabel and she'll be my first contact when we go away again.”
“I was super nervous about leaving my puppy Simba for the first time. Zachary and his family took great care of him. I love that the backyard is fenced in and the dogs are able to run and play. When I picked my puppy up, he wasvery relaxed and calm and you can tell he had a good time I will definitely book with Zachary and his family for all of my future dog sitting needs.”
“Jan did an excellent job watching my Yorkie Bichon mix! She was a pleasure to meet and the experience of introducing my dog and getting the arrangement set up went really well. She sent lots of photos and updates during the stay. She helped put me at ease with her level of care and attention to detail regarding the entire stay. I would highly recommend Jan as a dog sitter and I definitely will be going back in the future I’m sure!”
“Hayley did a great job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. Not only was she great with my pet, but also did an amazing job communicating with me especially being flexible when I needed some help. I would love her to take care of my dog again.”
“Deanna was great with updates and care. I got pictures daily and a little message. I didn't know she would watch multiple dogs at the same time but it seemed to be fine over all. My dogs came home happy and tired!”
“Kim is so wonderful! My dog is young and gets food aggressive with other animals, but she handled it great and was very accommodating to her needs. Her two dogs are so sweet and her home is a great environment for my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable and loved. I received plenty of pictures (which I adore). I would highly recommend Kim to care for your pup!”
About: I’ve cared for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family and friends for many years. This has included daily feeding, exercise, administering basic medications when needed, grooming, cleanup, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time to giving pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I’m committed to providing reliable care and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique and has their own routine, personality, and needs. I take the time to follow care instructions carefully, maintain a safe environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I believe in clear communication and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving attentive, loving care.
“Anita was great. We got pictures and updates on how Pepper was doing each day. She is great at communication and did a great job taking care of Pepper. Her kids seem to enjoy having Pepper stay wit them.”
“Alayna and Adam deserve a 10 star review. They met the needs of our dogs, they followed instructions provided, kept the dogs engaged and stimulated. Dogs were perfect little angels and never showed distress as they were made to feel at home during their stay. Great communcation via messages, videos and pictures. They shared any concerns they observed during the stay and checked in to make sure it was normal behavior and one of our dogs health was okay. They were amazing and accomodating. Their house is clean!! I can't say enough things about them! Will definitely book them again!”
“Cornelia was AMAZING!! She is super sweet and caring. Her and her family were amazing with Gracie and she sent me daily photos and updates. Gracie will definitely be back even for just a visit. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her!”
“Thanks so much for watching our Sadie. We always like to leave her with dependable people like your family. We would have had to completely change our trip to Boston if your family couldn't care for her. Again, thanks so much.”
“We had a great experience with Gabrielle! Everything went smoothly and Clover came home happy and well cared for. Gabrielle was so kind, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Keith & Rebecca took such great care of our dog Pippy! They were very easy to communicate with & sent many photos & updates, which we really appreciated! They exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend!”
“Susan and her husband were so awesome with our Kota! It was a last minute booking and they completely put our minds at ease. They took such great care of our dog and gave us continuous”
“When in need of a loving sitter for my large dog, Christina was very accommodating. It was my dog's first time in a home with cats, and she seemed to adjust quickly. My dog has a special diet, that includes rice and turkey. Christina managed to take care of all of my dog's food necessities on top of making her feel welcome. Additionally, my dog not only ate all her food, but in record time at a rover stay. I got updates throughout the day along with the pictures I requested. Definitely will look to Christina for any future stays as she cared for my dog as if it were her own.”

Bella did a wonderful job watching our dog, Storm, while we were out of town overnight! She was able to accommodate our last-minute booking and asked thoughtful questions beforehand to make sure she understood his routine and needs. Throughout his stay, she sent plenty of photos and updates, took him on multiple walks, and even brought him to a dog park so he could run around and play. We would highly recommend her!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kent on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 694 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kent. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Kent sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Kent landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kent home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kent.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Kent sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
