About: I’ve had many pets that I have taken care of throughout my entire life. I currently have two cats, three dogs, and two snakes that I help care for. I feed my cats whenever their food bowl is empty and fill up their water as well. I also take my dogs outside and give them food and water. I keep my pets safe by separating them when they get too rough, giving them attention, playing with them, feeding them, and so much more.
“This was our second time booking Jennifer to drop in on our cat twice a day during our week away, and we were just as happy as the first time! She again took excellent care of Dexter, including feeding and tending to his specific medical needs. She even spot cleaned the house and his multiple water bowls throughout the house! Dex loved her so much, he even met her at the door! We will definitely plan to book with Jennifer again in the future and will recommend her to friends as well!”
“Anna is a wonderful sitter and human! She accommodated my last minute request, which truly saved me so much stress and worry! She always ensured my cat had plenty of attention and love. She even took out the food and litter trash because I was going to be gone for weeks. I will 100% book Anna again, and you should too!! (Thank you Anna, you're a lifesaver!)”
About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats and rabbits my whole life. I’ve always had them and have even done 4-H with my dog and rabbits and was an advisor when I got older. 4-H taught me all about pet care and dog training and obedience. I’ve recently changed jobs so I can be home nights, weekends and holidays! This will allow me more time for watching your fur babies. I enjoy spending my free time on walks and being outside. Since I do work during the week, they will be home during the day and unable to go out. But once I am home, and on weekends, they can go out as often as they would like. I don’t have any pets at this time so your fur baby will be the only one in the home. I keep things picked up and out of reach for safety. I believe in harnessing and leashing before going outside and making sure they are secured properly. I also will not feed your pet any human food or anything not approved by you.
“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!!!”
“So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!”
“Lyndsey Rae was great. I've never left my dogs before and was leary when I had to take a business trip. She came over.. Seemed to understand my dogs better than me. ? As soon as I met her I knew I would have no worries while I was gone. The Rover check-ins were great and she sent me pictures when she checked in. She is awesome and I will have her take care of my babies whenever I leave town. Which I will do more often now because I have someone I can trust to doggie sit.”
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!
About: I have always had my own animals that I have helped take care of. I can walk the dogs, feed them on a schedule, or even just play with them and keep them company! I’m an incoming college freshmen that’s just looking to make some money before starting school! Besides going to the gym and making time for friends and family, I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets whether it’s walking them or playing with them! I will feed, take on walks and potty breaks, and have playtime with your dog as much as needed! I can also always send updates pictures if wanted!
“True animal-loving and caring individual. Attention to detail, followed our excessive written instructions to the "T", and did extra work outside of requirements. We will definitely be hiring again.”
“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.”
“Erin was fabulous and I will surely use her again. The cats were well taken care of and I enjoyed getting pictures of them daily. This is the first time I have left my girls for a prolonged period of time and knowing they were getting great care calmed my anxiety. Rover is a great service for pet owners and having people like Erin on staff gives credence to your organization! Kudos Erin and Rover!”
About: I’ve worked at a busy kennel and have years of experience, caring for dogs of all breeds and energy levels. I specialize in reliable, loving dog walks, and am confident handling any breed, size, and energy levels! Whether your dog loves a slow sniff walk or high energy exercise, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for like the family they are. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby! I currently work from home running my own business (Threaded Impressions - Custom Embroidery), but I can definitely add this to my routine! I am looking to have this as a flexible second source of income! Your pets safety is my top priority on every walk! I use the leash and gear you provide to ensure your dog is comfortable with equipment they already know. I never walk dogs off leash and only walk one household at a time, giving your dog, my full attention! I avoid busy or overly stimulating areas unless request requested, and I follow your care instructions carefully. I treat every dog like my own - with patience, love, and respect.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and unique needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, trustworthy, and committed to keeping pets happy and maintaining their normal routines. I also have experience caring for pets at different stages of life, including young puppies and senior animals. I can help reinforce basic training for younger pets, such as potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. With senior pets, I provide gentle care, extra patience, medication reminders if needed, and close attention to comfort and mobility needs. In addition to daily feeding, walks, and playtime, I focus on providing companionship and reducing stress or anxiety for pets when their families are gone. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos so they always know their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my favorite thing in the world. Since I moved I am not able to have any pets so being able to take care of your fur baby would be a blessing! I do not allow pets at my place over night. Only if it’s for a few hours as my landlord is picky. So it is more ideal for me to come to your place as it would be easier for me to meet your pets needs. I do ask that you provide so information about your pets when you book with me. Thank you!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kent
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!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kent. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
