“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.”
“This was Tilly's second stay with Isabel. Judging from the photos we received, she had again a wonderful time playing with Isabel's dog. Glad to have found such a wonderful dog sitter!”
“I recently boarded my dog for 5 nights, and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Shayna. She’s caring, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Bowser in her hands. We received updates and could tell he was getting plenty of love, attention, and exercise. He was happy, healthy, and well cared for, which gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the excellent care she provided and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely use her again when I can afford it.”
“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: Hi I’m Hayley! I have about a year of Rover experience, doing doggie drop ins and walks. A little bit about me: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I have two super friendly poodle mixes Nova and Arlo. Not only have I taken care of cats/dogs for 20+ years, I’m also the first to volunteer to care for my friends and neighbors beloved pets. I once babysat a neighbors 30 outdoor cats! I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. My expertise with dogs are home visits, walking and fetch or playing. I have a toddler who also loves animals and will accompany me at times, so a friendly dog is a MUST. I will watch one small/medium dog at my home in Ravenna prior to meeting them to ensure they get along with my pups. I treat my pets like family members, and would love to care for yours as well! I work a flexible hybrid schedule so I’m willing to work with your schedule. I’m available for overnight doggy daycare at my home for one family friendly pup if you’re out of town. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. They love to play! I’m willing and able to crate if needed as well.
“Miko had a great time with Desia. She was able to watch him last minute while we went to see family out of town. We received many pictures and videos with updates on our sweet baby which made us not stress as much about leaving him.”
“Sooki had a great experience with Deanna and even made some new friends. Deanna was excellent; welcoming and reassuring--she sent daily updates and photos and answered questions promptly. All in all, a wonderful place for dogs to feel at home. 5-stars! I will definitely book again with Deanna.”
About: Being around dogs is second nature to me, my family has always had furbabies. I treat every animal with compassion. A gentle hand can go a long way. I love dogs and have a great ability to handle them with kindness. I can handle little to big dogs, my own dog is 100lbs. I currently do not have a job that requires me to leave my home for extended hours, so I am able to give all my time to your furbaby. I usually always have my phone on me and can respond quickly. I am currently not working outside of the home and can devote all my hours to your pet. I will incorporate walks and enrichment to keep your pet engaged. I have a fenced in yard, a special insert in my car for hiking if your dog would like a hike. There is a nice trail 5mins from my house. I live in a safe neighborhood and can walk your dog for as long as needed from their normal routines.
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“Our puppy of 9 months really enjoyed staying with Alayna & Adam! In fact, it seemed he made himself right at home with their 2 much larger dogs. Great photos and a great time! Communication was excellent! Looking forward to our next stay!”
“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”
“Isabella made sure our two dogs had a great time with her! They went to the dog park, on a hike, and even for a pup cup. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. We appreciate her taking on our last minute booking!”
“They were just wonderful! Trustworthy; responsive and communicative. They sent me photos of Huckleberry every day. He looked very contented. I’ll definitely call on them again to take care of Huck the next time I leave town.”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for more than five years and understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I’m home most of the time, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. What sets me apart is the home environment I provide. I have a friendly, well-socialized host dog who loves meeting and playing with other dogs, helping visiting pups feel comfortable and included. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and low-stress experience where dogs can play, relax, and feel like part of the family. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they enjoy active play, social interaction, or a quieter environment. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Being a school teacher has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to create a safe, positive environment—qualities that I bring to caring for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a virtual teacher, I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, playtime with my friendly host dog, and plenty of opportunities to relax indoors. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and included. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, my schedule is even more flexible, allowing for extra playtime, and one-on-one attention Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a safe, welcoming home environment with a fenced yard and plenty of opportunities for play, rest, and companionship. Because I work from home, I am able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I take the time to understand each dog's personality and needs, helping them feel comfortable and cared for while away from home. My goal is to create a positive experience where dogs feel safe, happy, and part of the family.
“Gabrielle (and Greta!) went above and beyond in helping me and my dog this week! I am extremely grateful for everything and so impressed by her passion for taking excellent care of animals! 🤍”
“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!”
“My dog had a great time with Jessica and her family. Jessica was quick to respond to messages and sent daily pictures. Our dog was well taken care of while we were away.”
“Connie is wonderful! She took such great care of our fur baby. She hosted a Meet & Greet where Sarah warmed up to her and Greg almost immediately, so I knew we found a good fit. Connie had great communication; she sent photos daily with updates on how Sarah was doing, went above and beyond to make her happy and comfortable, and has a good eye for detail. Sarah is already scheduled to come back to Connie’s house the next time we go out of town! Thank you Connie. 💖”

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!
Boomer had a wonderful stay with Isabel and Philo. He especially enjoyed all of the walks during his stay! We knew that Boomer was well taken care of while we were out of town. Communication with Isabel was terrific. She also provided us with multiple photos on a daily basis. Thank you again, Isabel!

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.
