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!
About: I own a pug. I have volunteered at One of a Kind pets, working with all kinds of dogs and cats. I have pet sit for many friends over the years. I’m currently in school, most of my classes are around midday time. I am open during most mornings and afternoons/ nighttime. My availability is pretty open on the weekends. Usually from 3-6pm I’m not available but most other times are fine. I am available to provide potty breaks, walks, and playtime at clients houses. I am happy to stay at the pets home to provide any of these services. I unfortunately cannot bring any pets to my own home.
“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”
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.
“Aidan did an excellent job of watching Oscar and Luna while we were out of town. Aidan provided timely updates and took great care of our furry friends. Will definitely hire again!”
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.
“Tara was absolutely wonderful!! I booked her for a last minute trip and she was very quick to respond. We felt so at ease with her watching our pets! It is clear she loves animals and is very good with them! All the photos she shared showed a very happy puppy and very smitten kitties! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Tyler and Tara were amazing! This was the first time leaving our girls this long but they took such wonderful care of them and gave them all the love that they needed. 1000% recommend them for watching your fur babies. We will definitely be booking them for future trips.”

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.

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!

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!
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!

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 .

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.
