“Betty and David were absolutely amazing! Hudson had never been with a sitter prior, so we were nervous about how he would react. Betty and David made sure to give us updates throughout the day and an amazing amount of photos! This made me feel so much better knowing he was getting all the love and attention. I would not hesitate booking again with them. Betty and David are not only amazing dog sitters, but they are amazing people and you can tell that they are dog lovers. I appreciate you guys so much and Hudson misses you guys already!”
“Leslie is amazing with my dog! She is very caring and sends regular updates several times a day proactively. I wholeheartedly endorse her to any pet owners. I will be rebooking!”
“Wonderful. Ginger was very happy when she returned. Gino even help me to start on her weight loss journey so that was also very helpful. He sent us photos and videos everyday, which was awesome to see her having a lot of exercise.”
“Jairo definitely enjoyed his 2 weeks stay with Linda. She took care of Jairo just like her own, and she managed and maintained Jairo’s hygiene and cleanliness. All Jairo’s supplies and toys were returned in great condition. I would definitely recommend and hire Linda P for all Jairo’s future caretaker needs, both Jairo and I totally love and trust Linda P. Thank you so much”
“One of the best sitters we’ve ever had!! Xiatotong was communicative and so loving to our two boys. They got lots of walks and time in the yard and even some tasty treats in their food. We loved knowing the boys were on their own vacation while we were away!!”
“Dogs had a great time and came back very calm. One of our dogs gets very anxious so it was so nice to see him doing so well when we picked him up. We will book again! We got multiple updates with pictures every day. Great experience!”
“Cyndi was super quick to reply. I was lucky to find her because I needed dog boarding last minute. She took good care of my dog, and my pup was very relaxed when I picked her up.”
“Can’t say enough good things about Kizzie and how well she treated my cat! My cat had so much space to play, get comfortable, and feel at home. Kizzie sent detailed updates and lots of photos/videos which I loved so much!! My cat is such a spoiled boy and my entire family missed him so they loved seeing all the photos as well. Kizzie played with my cat so much, kept him entertained, stayed with him to make him feel comfortable throughout his stay. She slowly introduced her cat Moco to my cat and it was so adorable seeing them interact with one another. I would rate Kizzie 100/10!!”
About: I've had a dog in my life since I was a kid. I love all of them. I recently had to put my dog down. Losing a best friend hurts for a long time but I wouldn't change anything. Dogs add so much meaning to our lives. I'm a substitute teacher so I am gone by about 730 and home by about 430. I'm open most weekends. Regardless of the day you're pet will be getting walks, snuggles and anything else your pet needs. I have a small cement patio for dogs who like to lay in the sun. My apartment is on the first floor so if your dog has hip problems then there won't be a problem with stairs. Pets are allowed on my furniture for optimal cuddle experience.
“So great, accommodating and helpful! She kept me updated throughout the stay and I know my Bella has lots of energy and great vibes so it was nice to know she was being well taken care of.”
“Booking with Dane was very easy. He responded quickly and drop-off and pick-up were very smooth. Our flight got in late and he and his wife were very flexible with us. Boomer looked like he had a great time and has done nothing but sleep since getting home. I think he was worn out from all his fun! He even came back to us smelling great so a bath must have happened as well!”
“Mylyn was a wonderful host for Bentley. She made him feel welcomed and I know he was well taken care of! Mylyn was great at providing updates to ease my mind as this was my first time using Rover. I would highly recommend Mylyn to my friends and family for future stays.”
“Repeat customers here! We absolutely love Maggie and feel completely at ease every time we leave our Max under her care. She make sure that he feels as comfortable as possible, letting him sleep in the bed like he does at home. He gets plenty of mental stimulation playing with Maggie’s girls and daycare friends!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of three of my dogs at once. I know it's not an easy task, and you were so kind in communicated so well that it put me at ease during a stressful home renovation. I could tell that our dogs were loved and well cared for. Would definitely use again! Also need to mention a big thank you to Esther's dad who also helped us during that week.”
“Abby was amazing! Was such a last minute booking and I was so nervous. Did a meet and greet first and Batman and her got along great. She eased all my worries. Sent me update videos and photos all the time! Will definitely reach out to her again. 😊”
“Myra did a great job of taking care of my German Shepard. He came home happy and showed no signs of stress at all. Unlike when I have left him at a large boarding facility. Myra would be very good for your dog.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Kent is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kent
Boarded our two precious dogs with David and Betty for over a week. We’re really happy with how they cared for them. The top things they do well and that we appreciated most: - Genuinely checked compatibility through meet & greet - They researched and checked their ability to care for our paralyzed dog’s special care routine - Incredible communication, responsive and punctual responses - Practically unlimited photos of our pups, which helped put us at ease while traveling. I felt my pups got so much attention and love while staying with them - WFH and one client set up allowed for 24/7 of petting and cuddling that my dogs loved We felt David and Betty genuinely loved our dogs. Our dogs came home happy. We’re looking forward to working with them again.
This is the best family you could leave your dog with! We left Lola with them for a relatively long stay, and although she was a little sad at first, she ended up having such a lovely time that she misses them now that she’s back home! We received adorable photos and video updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to see how well she was being cared for. They treated Lola with so much love and attention, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust them with Lola again and recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, reliable family to care for their pet!
Leslie did a great job looking after Shiloh while we were out of town. She sent short videos and photos each day to let us know how things were going. Knowing Shiloh was being cared for let us travel without worrying about her. We would definitely ask Leslie to look after Shiloh again if/when we travel in the future.
This was the first time leaving Ice with a sitter, and Marcola made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She was amazing about sending daily pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I'm so grateful I found her and would absolutely trust her with Ice again.
I highly recommend Xueting (Bonnie) and her family to help take care of your doggie. They were kind and I knew that our dog was in good hands. They sent pictures to let us know about his daily walks and play time. I’m very thankful that I found them and will take our dog back the next time we go on a trip!
Jenae is a fantastic, trusted sitter. She watched our nervous, shy dog during the 4th of July weekend, and it went very well. We got regular updates, and we were comfortable and assured leaving our pup with Jenae. This was our second time booking Jenae, and we'll choose her again the next time we're out of town.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Kent is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $83 per night. 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Kent can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kent home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kent.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kent. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
You and your Kent sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
