About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds my whole life! I am a dog mom myself and worked at the Canine Campus learning how to train dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I am currently enjoying time off post grad but am always available to check in on a pet or take them on a walk. I can do any time and day with just a short notice. I offer reliable dog walking and in-home pet sitting, giving your pets personalized attention while you're away. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and leash manners. I also have experience caring for both crate-trained and non-crate-trained dogs, and I'm happy to follow your pet's established routine to help them feel comfortable and secure.

About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for a range of animals from chickens to cats. From there, I have always had a pet to share my heart with. I have had guinea pigs, cats, dogs in my own home and have yet to meet an animal I don't get along with. I am looking for flexible work so that I can finish writing my novel without letting the burden of finances fall completely on my husband. I figure walking and caring/sitting for animals to help keep my family fed is a great match for me, my personality, and my love for animals. I used to work 13 hour days, an hour from home, so I understand the importance of a pet nanny and would be honored to help you with that need! My two fur babies, Lily (9 year old Ragamuffin kitty) and Ellie (5 year old German Shepherd) have different personalities and co-habitate beautifully, but I would not want to introduce other animals into my home. Both of my girls are rescues from different shelters (Angels for Animals and One of a Kind Pet Rescue) and they both lived stressful lives before me so my job is to give them sanctuary and love. That said, in regard to care, Lily is pretty self regulated. Every other day, her food bowl is re-filled (no, you can't see the bottom of the bowl but she's my sweet princess who gets what she wants) and her kitty litter is scooped every other day and changed as needed. Ellie is a rescued Puppy Mill momma who grew up in a very confusing way and is forever married to routine. To keep her happy and healthy, we let her out same time each day (7am) where she eats 1.5 cups of food, potty break at 12pm and again at 5pm (1.5 cups). Ellie's gets let out 3 times a day, per her wants because I try to let her out more and if she doesn't have to go potty, she turns around and lays on her Tempur-Pedic bed. Otherwise, when the weather is appropriate Ellie and I take a minimum of a 15 minute walk in the park behind my house. I hope this description helps you trust that your fur babies will consider me "Auntie Marah" soon enough, and that they are in safe and caring hands with me. I am happy to answer any questions!

Parris is a natural with animals. She stepped in with my rescue dog when I needed some extra help walking him. She was patient with him and understood that he would need time to trust her. It is obvious as soon as you meet Parris that she is experienced, confident and has a genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Parris for your pet needs especially if you have a pet that is challenging.

About: I have always loved animals since I was a kid. Once I was 12 I started bathing and grooming dogs, which then lead me to watch animals overnight. The longest I have taken care of pets was a two week long period. I am very responsible, timely, and have a dog of my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and even some training experience as well. I am currently a part time worker, and full time college student with mostly online classes. I am available to do mostly everyday of the week as long as I am known in advance. I believe animals will treat us just as we treat them or better. My dog is my best friend (we even have matching pjs). I understand the deep love people have for their pets and I respect and plan to love and care for their pets just as much. I am gentle, patient, and understand animal language very well.

About: I have taken care of dogs whether my own or my neighbors. My neighbors have consistently trusted me to care for their dogs on various occasions throughout the years. I have experience with older dogs, younger dogs, and very energetic dogs. I’m currently on summer vacation from school, so everyday I walk my own dog mainly during noon and later in the day. I also make sure to play with and ensure that my dog has enough food and water throughout the day. I have a fenced in backyard in which my dog is able to play in freely. Each day I make sure my own dog has enough food and water throughout the day. I’ll refill her bowls as necessary so she’s properly taken care of.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other exotic animals for majority of my life. I have experience with babysitting animals during the day and doing overnights. Family and family friends have often asked me if I can help with taking care of their animals. I also have experience with volunteering at shelters, and at a wildlife rehab. I am currently a part time college student, as well as a part time worker, with four hour shifts. Though, I still have a very flexible schedule and will always make sure and work hard to prioritize your critters :) ! I am also available to do overnights if need be!! When it comes to caring for your critters within your home, I make sure to follow your instructions, keep everything clean and in order, as well as still giving your critters plenty of attention and affection!

About: I’ve been watching dogs since I was 16. I love dogs of all sizes and have cared for both seniors and puppies. I strive to make sure all dogs under my care are happy and comfortable! I am currently working part-time over the summer and love to spend my free time outdoors, especially hanging out with dogs! I will have plenty of availability. I am in a pet free apartment over the summer so I cannot offer in-home care where I live, however I will be readily available for walking throughout the week!

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

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 adore all animals, and even though that may mean I have a lack of survival instincts when it comes to the carnivorous ones, it also means I’m willing to handle any pet you may own with equal care—the legless ones included 😊. I only draw the line at anything within the six-&-above-legged category. I have had experience with animals since I was a child and have cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, bearded dragons, and even goats and a raccoon before. I also happen own a tiny dinosaur (at least he thinks so) and I adore pitt-bulls (seriously if you own one, I have lots of cuteness aggression to share with them 🥹). So, as long as your pet is not a deranged bulldozer on a leash I’d be quite honored to walk it, and if it is a maniac on the leash, maybe I’ll just feed and cuddle the monster while you’re gone. I have had experience with both mammals and reptiles and therefore am very aware of how high-maintenance and devious any pet can be. So if you have any concerns regarding an unusual or just particularly demanding pet, contact me! I will likely be willing to handle it! The weirder the creature the happier I’ll be to meet it ☺️!!! This summer is my last before college and I plan to fill it with pet-sitting and dog walking. So I will have plenty of time to spend with any furry client. Once the end of August hits, I will be a full-time college student however I am very willing to spend any time not spent studying on hanging with some cute animals ☺️. I have a fenced yard and three dogs at my own home. They can easily be separated if needed, and we do have several gates and a few crates. We have too many toys to share, and in the summertime, even a small dog pool. Whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable, I can easily achieve for you—I am very used to demanding pups ☺️.

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.

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 for Dog Walking in Kent on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,030 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 your Kent. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kent.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
