“Isabel is kind and easy to work with. She took excellent care of my older dog (parson Russel mix) with drop in visits while we attended a wedding. Quick to respond. Left home in excellent order. Will book with her again. Thank you Isabel!!!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Kristen! She was dependable, a great communicator, administered medication flawlessly, and became a safe person for our cat while we were away. He absolutely loved her and we will definitely be reaching out again!”
About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes! Every summer I go to NYC and pet sit my family friends city dog while they are out vacationing! I love getting to know new pups and taking them out around town! I also love just sitting with them at home making sure they feel comfortable and happy! I’m currently to working part time so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and keep them company! I go on hikes/ parks almost everyday so I already have at least 3 miles of walking in my daily routine. ( if you have a senior pet or a smaller pet I will of course accommodate them) I have grown up with pets and know how important it is to make sure they have a routine and quality time with loving humans💗 I am always happy to take fur babies out for a day on the town or a walk in the park!
“Frank is very kind and my doggie Dutchess took right to him. I appreciate all the Love you gave my girl while I was gone and all the pics you supplied me. Would definitely have Frank watch my dog again 10/10”
“Mackenzie is wonderful! She took photos of my cats so I could see they were eating...not really an issue, but you know.... She also watered plants and brought in the mail...and during a rainstorm she checked for a leak (older home here) and then txted back and forth to sort out where to find a bucket to catch drips until I got home. I whole- heartedly recommend her.”
“Julie is wonderful. She’s great with our pup, communicative, and quick to respond. She was able to help us out very last minute. We’re appreciative of her help and care for our Lenny!”
About: I have always had a dog or some type of pet! They very much are like family. I currently have 3 cats on of which who has adhd and has to take meds every day. I do have the ability to run around in dogs to get their energy out! I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can move anything around, especially if it’s a walk for the morning! If it’s afternoon, if I know within a decent timeframe, I can always make other arrangements to be able to walk your four-legged family member! At this time I am not offering in home pet sitting. I will however ensure that all safety measures that the pet family has in place are applied. For walks I always make sure to stop walking if no side walk is available when a car passes.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds since I was 7 and now I have a pet family of my own. Whether dropping in for a visit or walking your doggo when you can’t be there I just want to make your babies feel loved! I work night shift, so I am available mornings and evenings for drop in visits or walks. I know the importance of exercise and playtime for all babies. I have 4 cats and a golden retriever puppy. So handling chaos is my middle name. I’m happy to feed, have playtime and walk your babies.
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
“Denise was a great help for some last minute drop in visits so I could attend a funeral. Received lots of pics and texts. Felt completely comfortable with her taking care of my little guy.”
“Emma was punctual and reliable, and followed all my instructions. This was our first time being apart for an extended period, so I needed someone who I could trust. My doggo seemed well taken care of. Jiro is quite a handful, but Emma handled him well and I know he will be excited to see Emma again.”
About: Northeast Ohio Native! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I understand that dogs need time outside, walks and plenty of attention to keep them happy and healthy. I also understand that cats have their own personalities they love their playtime, but they also appreciate their independence and quiet time. No matter their personality or routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll be right by their side, providing companionship and the care they deserve! All animal photos in my gallery are pets I have lived with or cared for within the past three years, except for Sasha the Giraffe I had the opportunity to feed while at the San Diego Zoo! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attention, walks and playtime. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I care for every pet by learning their individual needs, personality and routine before providing care. I prioritize trust and comfort by following owner instructions, maintaining a clean environment and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I want each pet to feel relaxed, secure and cared for while their family is away.
About: I’m a pet owner myself with a dog and two cats, so I’m used to managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels every day. I understand how important consistency is, and I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. I don’t overbook, so your pet will get real attention and a calm environment—not a chaotic, revolving-door situation. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, including multi-pet households, and I pay attention to the small things like behavior changes, feeding habits, and overall comfort. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or sitting, my goal is simple: make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away. I work a full time job in-office, so I am available after 4:30pm Monday through Friday and have open availability Saturday and Sunday to help care for your pets! I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I closely monitor pets during walks, playtime, and feeding, and I’m mindful of surroundings to prevent any risks. I follow all care instructions carefully, including medications, dietary restrictions, and activity levels. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space and ensure all areas are secure. I also make sure introductions with other animals (if applicable) are done slowly and safely. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident and at ease, knowing your pet is in responsible and caring hands.
About: I’ve worked with many kinds of animals, including (but not limited limited to) Dogs, Cats, Horses, Bunnies, Guinea pigs and other rodents, birds, and farm animals! I have also worked with special needs and disabled animals I’m a student and in training to be an EMT! I’m available most weekends and evenings, along with morning check-ins on weekdays! I also do overnight visits on special request. I’m an experienced animal lover and carer! Will always love on animals that want that and respect boundaries when they don’t. Experiences with crate trained behavior and basic teaching techniques.
About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently have a hybrid work schedule and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kent
Alexandra helped us out with drop-in visits on short notice due to a last minute work trip, and we had a great experience! She was wonderful with communication and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. We really appreciated her flexibility and would absolutely use her again!
Elise is great! She truly loves animals and treated our 6 pets as her own. She sent photo updates each visit and was always very communicative on how they were all doing and with any questions she had. I’d highly recommend her and she’ll be our first choice going forward.
Madison took care of Mason while we were away and did a great job. She was reliable and kept everything running smoothly. Mason seemed comfortable and well taken care of when we got back. Communication was easy, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to have her watch him again!
Lindsay is the best! She took care of our Clark so tenderly and completely! We felt lucky in knowing that she was providing our fur baby with the same love, care and compassion that we give him. We had great communication during her visits and outside of the drop-in timeframes as well. Lindsay was prompt for each of the scheduled arrivals and went above and beyond with her services! The pictures she captured and sent to us are adorable! She's a sweetheart and Clarky misses her! 💕
Riley is absolutely amazing! We’ve worked with her for months and I always know my dogs are in the best hands. My dogs both adore her, especially my younger one which Riley would work on commands with. They always had food, water, plenty of potty and play time, and treats. I am so grateful for Riley, she gave me such peace of mind while I was at work and I can’t wait to continue to work with her!
Erin was super helpful by walking me through my first time using Rover. She was unfazed on my over sharing every detail about my dogs by being professional and providing the care they needed. Erin was on time and had great communication throughout her time with my pups!
Leah did a drop in visit with my dogs while we were away and she did awesome with them! She somehow even managed to get my picky eater to eat his dinner, which is impressive! :) I highly recommend Leah, she is great with the dogs, I have relied on her for dog sitting before and will do so again in the future!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kent stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kent with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
