About: I provide a one on one Level of care and attention for your pet. Spending quality time with the pets is very important to me I currently work part time but have a flexible schedule. I am avaliable for Boarding at my home as well as drop in visits daily. I have a Freindly and playful Golden Retiever I like to give my full attention on your pet to make the stay/visit a enjoyable experience.
“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.”
“Highly recommend! Alyssa did an absolute wonderful job watching my cats while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with great communication, and made sure everything was perfectly taken care of. If you are looking for a reliable, sweet, and trustworthy sitter, look no further…five stars all the way!!”
“Danielle is a caring, attentive, and detailed sitter. She provides great notes and photos for each visit and she goes out of her way to make your pet as comfortable and as happy as possible. I booked her for cat sitting check-ins and my nervous kitty quickly warmed up to her! She gave my cat plenty of attention and playtime and I quickly began to look forward to Danielle’s updates knowing my sweet kitty was in great hands. I recommend Danielle as a sitter and will definitely book her again for any of my needs in the future! Thanks again!”
“My dogs took to William/were extremely at ease with him immediately - he has calming mojo 😉 He is very responsive, very punctual with his visits, and thorough with his visit reports .... and also is very conscientious and goes above and beyond - bringing in the mail and tidying up around the house if he sees something that needs attention! I would certainly recommend William to anyone needing someone to care for their furbabies!”
About: I have worked on two different farms! Ranging from exotic animals to farm animals, taking care of them, feeding them, doing enrichment, going on walks, and being their advocate. I love every animal equally, ranging from big to small. I can assure you, your pet is safe in my hands I currently work a part time job as a manager on the farm, and have very flexible hours. I mostly work weekends and Mondays on the farm I have a puppy at home who is super friendly. I also have a bunny and reptiles who are all caged in. I do not have a fenced in area at my apartment but I don’t mind going on walks to let some energy out. My apartment is a townhome, and has 2 levels.
About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. I am 57. I have done dog training and agility with 2 of our dogs. I have had a puppy and dealt with Senior dogs too. I love to give our dog lots of attention with play time, walking and outdoor activities. I love to take walks and go to other parks too. With the owner's permission, I love to go to the dog park-Bow Wow dog park and the Akron Dog Park. I give your furry one lots of attention with play time-throwing toys-playing fetch with a ball or toy. Letting them have backyard time. We have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to be free. I also will brush your dog and pet them and give them attention, while you are away. I will treat your dog like he/she is my own dog. Another place I will take dogs is Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus for social interaction and exercise. I am at home and available most days. We have a 20 year-old Son, who also loves dogs! My Husband helps out too, with walks and letting the dogs out in our backyard and is a dog person. Currently, I am not working. I have a knee problem and some medical issues that prevent me from working full time. I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. We love to take walks and go to the dog parks. However, if you prefer your dog not to go to the dog park, that is fine. We could go on walks and let your dog go outside in our backyard. We have lots of dog toys, bones, balls, etc... I do have a walk thru pet gate that I set up to block off the kitchen and dining room area. We will feed our dog and your dog separately in separate rooms. I love to brush and pet dogs. If needed, we could bath your dog too. We are a "dog" type family, that is our preference. We have had fish, hamsters and also a guinea pig in the past. I grew up with a cat in our home, as a child. We will throw ball and toys for the dogs and play with your dog. We have a small crate that is in our garage, however we don't usually use the crate. If we leave the home, depending on the situation, if your dog is destructive or chewing on furniture or other items, then we will crate your dog when we leave for church or a short errand. If you have a calm dog and the dog is not destructive and well mannered, then your dog could stay in the family room area, unless you prefer that your dog is in his crate. We will use 2 dog gates near our steps to go upstairs. We prefer that our dog and other dogs do not go upstairs. As a House Sitter, I would do any needed cleaning up of any messes I make. I would be bringing my own food, as I am gluten free and dairy free. The only thing I would need is some freezer and frigerated space for my food. I would follow your normal routine for your dog or dogs. I do have occasional Dr and therapy appointments, fyi. We have a home in Akron, with a fence in our backyard. We live near a forest, it is a quiet area. We have a small neighborhood, where the street dead ends to a forest. We don't get drive thru traffic, that use our area as a "short cut".
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.
“Carolyn did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town! We were hesitant because we had always had family members watch our cats and had never used a service like this but after the great experience, we won't hesitate to use Carolyn again in the future! We appreciated the pictures she sent us and she communicated well every time she stopped by. We were able to enjoy our trip without stressing about how our cats were doing because we knew they were well taken care of. Thanks Carolyn!”
About: Im a genuine dog lover! I have had dogs growing up and currently have a 1 year old rottweiler who is just the sweetest boy. I also have amazing doggy co-workers that range from the ages 2-13! So its only natural I love dogs more than humans. I can help with potty training, and if you are working on tricks I can continue that for you while gone to give your pet consistency. During the week I am available Mon-Fri after 330 pm and have open availability Sat-Sun. I am a very flexible person and can possibly work something out that would be best for your pet needs. I am a very trustworthy, responsible, and dependable. You will be able to take off and trust that your fur family will receive all the hugs kisses and belly rubs. I also welcome any questions and concerns and I am willing to provide as much communication and cute pictures to help you feel more comfortable!
About: I love animals, I've had many different types of pets throughout my life. I've had two guinea pigs, a hamster, many goldfish, and dogs. I don’t know have a dog or cat at the moment. Looking forward to pet sitting and walking. I may not have professional experience with animals but I do know how to show them love which is for the most part all animals need to feel wanted and appreciated. Something that sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is I love animals and enjoy being around them. Some people will just get this job for the extra cash but I do it because I love animals. I think it is awesome that they have this program so that animals won't be left at home alone and such. I currently only have a part time job, so I have plenty of time to care for furry pets. Really looking forward to meeting your furry pet. I have a studio apartment and it is just me that lives there. I also have a lot of room around my apartment to walk dogs.

I currently work full time- I have flexibility for constant care Friday-Monday (I work remotely on Mondays and am off Fridays). Depending on location, I am able to come during my lunch to let the dogs out (a typical work day is 6-7 hours for me). I have flexibility to leave and come back during the day, or stay the entire day and spend the night! I can take your dogs on long walks, and am comfortable cleaning up messes if needed. I am also comfortable taking your pet to appointments, as well as co sleeping if they are anxious!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over three years, starting with overnight dog sitting and growing into a well-rounded, reliable sitter. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s house sitting, daily walks, drop-in visits to check on your fur babies, or administering medication, I provide attentive, loving care so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I’m currently working full time in childcare Monday-Thursday but am free after 3:30pm and any time Friday or Saturday! I would love to come and take your fur baby for a walk! I provide care in your home so your fur babies can stay in a familiar, comfortable, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely and attend to whatever needs they have—whether that’s feeding, playtime, administering medication, or simply giving them plenty of love and attention. I also make sure your pets get proper walks and exercise based on their energy level, helping them stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away.

About: Hello! I have helped friends and family take care of their pets for years. I would love to spread the joy with you as well. Currently, I am waiting for the school year to begin so I have the possibility to do multiple drop ins. My hours range from 5am to 12am. I live in a gated community with a large backyard. I believe it’s the perfect amount of space for running, playing fetch, or just lounging.
“I needed help last minute. Savannah was more than willing to help and responded quickly. She took tons of pics of my boy and adjusted to our needs. I will be contacting her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kent
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!
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!

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!

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 .
