“Alexandra was so easy to work with! She is punctual, thorough and took very good care of my two cats. They warmed up to her right away. She sent regular updates with several pictures each time and they always looked happy during her visits. I’ll definitely try rebooking her for my next trip!”
About: I’ve owned pets ever since i can remember. My family is a big dog family and i have a blue great dane named brooklynn who is also a registered therapy dog. In her age she’s needed lots of special care such as medications, ointments, and assistance getting up from bed so i am equipped to help with whatever your animals need! I am currently in nursing school, but I’m half online and half in person, so i have a ton of extra time throughout my days to come help care for your pets! I understand every pet is unique and requires special attention. I spend as much time as i can getting to know your pet to provide individualized care to best support them.
“The dogs seemed happy, I loved the pictures that she sent, and she kept in touch when there was a sl change in time. House was kept nice and clean too. We definitely will use her again.”
“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!!!”
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: Growing up, my grandma owned her own pet sitting business. She taught me to love animals as another member of a family! I have pet sat for my family many times over the past couple of years. I love all animals and I am excited to take care of ones I don’t interact with very often. That being said, I am most experienced with dogs. Having one of my own with severe separation anxiety, I know that when checking on a dog I should play with them and sit with them until their energy level is subdued! I am currently a senior in college, and my classes are more relaxed than they have ever been! I’m excited to have plenty of time in the day to check in on pets and take them for walks! My classes end in the early afternoon every day. I would love to spend time with your pets indoor or outdoor! My car is pet-friendly, so if your pet prefers walks in parks I would love to accommodate!
“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.”
“I love my cat more than anything. I feel very comforted in knowing that Kari is caring for my Peanut when I am away. I highly recommend Kari to care for your pet family too!”
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: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was around 8 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because I care deeply for my animals and my friends animals as well. When I’m not home spending time with my two emotional support Cats, I am spending time with my best friend, her cat and German Shepherd. We love to take her dog on adventures and explore new hiking trails. Im more focused on dog walking but am conveniently a jack of all trades. I can follow your training advice, or if clients would like I can use positive reinforcement training methods learned from online. I can pet sit, and clean very meticulously. And I can entertain and help socialize your pets with the outside world. I can even give them baths including cats if need be.
About: From a young age, I have developed a strong passion for animals and have grown up caring for a wide variety of species. I hope to turn this lifelong love and experience into a rewarding career in animal care. I have the most extensive experience working with cats and dogs, while also having hands-on experience caring for livestock, including cows, sheep, goats, and alpacas. I am eager to continue expanding my knowledge and skills and hope to gain experience in equine care in the near future. i currently work a local part time job that is very flexible and varies day by day, but it’s very easy to adjust to accommodate pet parents. i treat every home like it is my own. leaving it the same way it was left to me, or better. making sure the pet is truly comfortable in there own home.
“Regina is absolutely wonderful with our pups! We have two really large Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs and she is very comfortable and confident with them. Our younger pup can be a bit shy and standoffish with new people, but he felt comfortable with her from the start. You can tell she is great with dogs and dogs love her! Regina is very responsive and provides great communication when she watches our dogs. You can tell that she is not only a great dog sitter, but a good person as well!”
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.
“Emma was a great find! Our dogs were comfortable with her the minute they met her. She is truly a pet lover! She is responsible, communicative and makes you feel comfortable leaving your beloved pets with her. We are so happy to have found her and we highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals basically my whole life! I’ve never had a period of time without a cat and/or dog in my house (as well as fish and hermit crabs!). Ever since I’ve been able to, I helped care for the family pets (walking, grooming, feeding etc). Now I have two kitties that I love very much! I also used to walk my neighbors’ dogs about 10 years ago when I was 13 and all throughout high school. Additionally, I’ve done longer term pet sitting for friends going on trips several times. I take care of my animals everyday of course! I feed my cats daily, clean their litter boxes everyday, and make sure their water fountain is full. Weekly they get brushed, and they get baths as needed. I will comply to whatever your house rules are! Whatever your fur babies need, I’m here for! I want to make sure they are happy, healthy and their needs are met. My goal is to keep your space nice and clean and your pets content and cared for.

Annabelle did such a wonderful job taking care of Stella and Adrianne in my home! Adrianne is 19 and needs medication every day, and Annabelle was so dependable about giving her medication and even taking the extra time to encourage her to eat. Both girls received lots of love, attention, and care while I was away. The pictures and updates she sent were so reassuring and made me feel confident that they were happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Annabelle and would happily have her care for Stella and Adrianne again ♥️♥️
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kent is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 2,160 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kent. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kent. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
