About: I am American Red Cross certified for Cat and Dog First Aid. I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for a little over 10 years, though have grown up with pets in the house for my entire life. I have experience with pets little and big, young and old, as well as a range of personalities and energy levels. I have provided care to dogs belonging to family, friends, neighbors, and even teachers and I have loved each pet as if it were my own. I have experience administering different medications including allergy meds, pills, and joint supplements. I’m currently a full time undergraduate student (studying pre-med 😄) so I have flexibility in my schedule to care for pets. I am available for drop in visits and walks during the day! I do not offer pet care in my home, while I do have pets of my own they do not do well with new animals so in interest of keeping both my pets and yours happy and safe I only offer services through the client’s home. The care I provide for pets inside of the client’s home will be a combination of the instructions provided by the client so that I can provide the pets with their unique routines and my unconditional love and respect for their boundaries and needs. I love taking pets on walks, easing their stress, giving them lots of belly rubs, and making sure they eat all of their food and drink plenty of water!

I’ve actually dog sat for 3 family friends here and there for about 5 years and would love to do the same for someone else who may need it as well!!

I’m currently working part time tropical smoothie! However, I can attend to your animal whenever they may need within my availability! I really would love to go on walks no matter the weather and even play with your pup. I love running and am very active so I would be the same with your pup if they allow me! Just gives me more cardio in the end lol! I would love to just hangout and play with your pup all day!! I do not care for pets in my own home. However, I will do my best to accommodate to your home and what i’ll need to do to take care of your pup the best!

About: Hello! Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have loads of experience in walking and sitting for friends and family. Seniors and puppies are welcome!! I work part time, and I am in school part time (I only have one in-person class), so my schedule has many gaps in it. I’ll always greet them, say hello for a minute, Then I’ll let them outside and I’ll make sure they use the restroom. After that, I’ll refill their water and play with them until its time to go, or time for a different activity.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, and over the years I’ve looked after the pets of roommates, friends, and family. From energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I know how to give each pet the love, patience, and attention they need. I have hands-on experience with puppy training, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and medication if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities — I treat every furry friend like they’re my own! I currently work Mondays through Thursdays, but have lots of time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets! My schedule can be flexible which gives me the option to work with the schedule that works best for you and your pets. I care for pets like they’re my own! I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles so they feel comfortable and happy. In your home, I make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise while keeping things just the way they’re used to. In my home, I provide a safe, cozy space with lots of love and supervision.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was younger and it brings me so much joy. I have 3 dogs of my own in my hometown and I value their comfort and happiness more than everything. I love going on walks, hikes, and even laying around the house. I am a college student with lots of spare time outside of my classes. I would only be gone for 2 hours at a time. I love being active and spending time outside. I’m up early in the morning some days which is perfect for early morning potty breaks. I spend the weekends relaxing and preparing for the week ahead which leaves lots of time for flexibility. Making sure your pet is comfortable and happy is my top priority. I know it can be stressful with the people they love being away. I’m very good at dealing with anxious dogs as well as administering medications they require as my dogs are similar. Peace of mind for parents and dogs is most important to me.

About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work as a substitute teacher where I decide what days I want to work. I like to work half days which would be from 11am to 3pm but if a client needs me during that time I can be available during that time. I will make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet. I typically give the dog daily exercise 4 to 5 times per day. With the owner permission I will take dog to the dog park and keep a watchful eye on the dog at all times there. If I feel another dog is getting aggressive I will immediately remove the dog so nothing escalates.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, a horse, hamsters…. Just about any pet you could imagine. I love them all. I’ve taken care of not only my own animals but also those of friends, neighbors and family. I’ve potty trained several of my own dogs as well as palliative care for older dogs. I am an older guy with time on my hands. I really enjoy being with animals. I would like to spend the majority of my day giving attention and care when owners feel they need a little help. I treat all animals with empathy, kindness and love. My animals are cared for 24 hours a day. Play and fun are as important as food and water.

Brooke was incredible!! We needed someone to walk our dog for the 2.5 weeks we were going to be gone. Normally I am a nervous wreck when being away from my dog that long, but Brooke made me feel more at ease! She also helped with some extra things that we needed while we were away and I could not have been more grateful! She was punctual, responsible, and consistent! I am so glad we found Brooke! She has clients now for as long as she continues to have time to care of animals! Thank you so much sister! You are THE BEST!❤️

FAQs for Dog Walking - Kent

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Kent is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,027 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kent. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Kent. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kent after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kent. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
