“I had to take a last minute trip, and Laura saved me! She did a great job, went above and beyond, and I’m very lucky to have been able to book with her. Thanks so much Laura!”
About: Pet professional for 17 years -- dog training, walking, sitting, and wrangling in packs -- with lots of love to give to your pup and adventures to share come rain and shine! Offering weekday group walks at Grandview Dog Park and afternoon private walks. Also available for transportation to appointments for the groomer and veterinarian, arranged ahead. I pick up and drop off from your pup's home and transport them in my vehicle with a regular group of socialized dogs to walk as a pack for socialization and adventuresome play. Small dogs travel "First Class" in the front bench seat for comfort and safety, and we all walk at a speed comfortable for everybody. Before they join the pack, new dogs will have the opportunity to get comfortable with me on private walks from their home around their own neighborhood and ride short distances during their first week. House-sitting for dogs in their own home may include pack walks with an additional fee, only if the dogs would gel well in our regular pack. House dogs will always be given personal attention and regularly exercised one-on-one as part of our daily routine to keep them happy and healthy at home.
About: As an avid animal lover, I've always jumped at the opportunity to help take care of family and friends' fur babies while they are busy. Unfortunately, my current residence does not allow pets. However, I am more than happy to pop in for regularly scheduled chow times, walks, playtime, etc. I'm currently a full-time graduate student and part-time barista. Due to this schedule, my availability for pet care will be primarily in the afternoons and evenings. I understand and appreciate that every pet has a unique personality and reactivity. While actively following the owner's instructions, I practice patience and compassion toward a pet's wants and needs.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, and I truly believe they’re more than pets—they’re family! I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I love giving each dog the attention, love, exercise, and companionship they need. When your pup is in my care, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply some extra companionship, I’m happy to provide personalized care based on their routine and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for! 🐾❤️ Pet sitting is a great fit for my lifestyle because I have a flexible schedule and open availability. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I love having the opportunity to spend my days with animals, whether that means taking a dog for a walk, playing in the yard, giving a cat some attention, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible, and happy to accommodate different schedules and routines whenever possible. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are my priority, and I’d love to become someone you can trust whenever they need care! 🐾❤️ I’m happy to care for your pets right in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I understand that keeping their normal routine can make a big difference, especially when you’re away. With my flexible schedule and open availability, I can provide the attention and care your pets need while you’re gone. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while also giving them plenty of love and companionship. My goal is to make your time away easier by keeping your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best. 🐾❤️
“Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy for drop in care. She even let our other less needy dog out and spent some time training the puppy during the visits. We plan to request her again for drop in and overnight care. Very pleased!”
About: I’ve had a lot of exposure to animals from a young age, mainly with dogs of all ages and temperaments, but I have cared for exotic animals and understand how important their needs all are. I work totally on my own schedule as I want but don’t have a strict schedule, making it easier to take care of animals. My schedule is not set in any way. Typically I care for them based on the request of the owner within reason, but I tend to give them as much attention and love as they need. I want them to feel loved. For visits and walks I try to be encouraging and go at the animal’s pace.
“This was my first time using Rover and Harley made it such a great experience! She was friendly, responsive, on time and took good care of all 4 of our babies. 10/10 will book again! Thank you Harley :)”
“Julie has been walking our 50 lb dog for several weeks and recently stopped over to feed and look in on both our dogs while we were away. I appreciate how communicative she is and she is so sweet with our dogs. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have experience working on this app since around 2017 in the Seattle metro area. I love animals of all kind and have experience with extra large to extra small. I am currently available full time. This means I will stop accepting requests at 40 hours per week. My weekends and weekdays are open for pet care. I will gladly follow all instructions left to keep your fur baby satisfied and safe while you are away during our house sittings and/or visits.
“Kseniia watched our three kitties while we were out of town for a couple of days, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care! She did a great job communicating with us each day, letting us know when she would be arriving and sending us photos and updates. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our kitties were well taken care of and having a great time with her. We also really appreciated that she lived close by, which gave us extra reassurance in case of any unexpected emergencies or if she was needed quickly. We’re grateful to Kseniia for taking such great care of our precious kitties while we were away. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Literally the best. My dogs love her, and i appreciate her so much!!! She genuinely, GENUINELY cares about my dogs, and goes the extra mile to make them so happy. I couldn’t be more thankful!”
About: I’m just starting out with Rover but I have been a pet passionate person my entire life, and I’d love to meet yours! I worked as a veterinary technician through college and after, so I have lots of experience with medically complex cats and dogs. I also currently foster dogs and grew up fostering cats, so I’ve gotten to meet and learn about many breeds and different personalities. I’m honest, reliable, and I care deeply about the needs of animals. I also have experience caring for parrots, poultry, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and other small exotic pets. As a stay at home mom we are home and playing in the yard very often. I walk my dogs every single day, rain or shine, we love to explore! I have a securely fenced yard with a lovely garden and a big grassy area for playing. I love to treat new dogs like family and help them feel safe and loved.
“Carly was very easy to work with and provided great communication while we were away. She also provided great care to the cat and always gave detailed checkins. Highly recommended”
About: Small dogs only (<30 lbs) Adil and I love dogs and consider them part of the family! We are happy to take care of dogs of any age - puppy to adult to elderly animals. We can also take care of any special needs and administer medication. We both grew up with 3-4 dogs at home. Milo, our Yorkie Schnauzer mix, has been part of our family since 2020. We have had him since he was a puppy and take care of all training, medical, and grooming needs. He is our sweetheart and loves having other dogs around for company! We have also taken care of other people's pets, including special needs. The doggies play together at home and are allowed on furniture. We have had some dogs sleep in their own bed and some in our bed with us. We have a big, fully fenced backyard with a dog run! We also enjoy taking dogs for walks around our neighborhood. We will care for your dogs like they are our own and send frequent updates and photos :) I am stay at home mom and will be with dogs except for running errands. Please let us know what your doggie needs so we can take excellent care of them! Also please let us know how they act around babies and kids or if there are any concerns. We have a large fenced yard for potty and play time. When not supervised outside, pets stay indoors with us. We have a small, friendly dog who loves to play with other dogs. Please let us know about any behavior concerns so we can take excellent care of your pet!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other small critters for friends and family members growing up. Each pet is unique and has their own special routine they enjoy each day. I enjoy making sure that pets are happy and entertained while I ensure they have all their needs met. I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation in order to best serve you and your pet’s needs. I arrive on time to all scheduled appointments and love to stay organized with my day. I have a cat named Cutie Pie who is the friendliest cat I know! I maintain consistent feeding times for all furry friends and know how important it is to have a safe environment for them. I like to take walks throughout the day with dogs to help them beat the restlessness that can come from not having their favorite people there for them. Making sure pets have fun and stay busy is something I look forward to when I care for new animals.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kent
Liseth and her husband really took wonderful care of our Ola boy. She followed his meal schedule, made sure fresh water and food are out and his pads all cleaned up. Sent us photos twice a day and great communication the whole time. Our dog was completely calm and happy when we walked through the door and we knew that our Ola had a great time with them. Thank you Liseth and Kevin for taking care of our rascal Ola boy. We definitely book her again in a heartbeat.
Shannon is great and we would definitely use her again! She checked in on our pup without even meeting him first, and also accepted our last injure request. She sent us detailed updates and great photos during her drop in. Our pup looked like he was well cared for and loving her! Thanks again.
Shelby was an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative throughout the entire time, keeping me updated and giving me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and reliable she was, and it was clear my pet was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and thoughtful to look after their pets.
My first time using rover app and got blessed with such an amazing, kind, responsible and caring individual! I don’t travel often but she made my anxiety go away instantly knowing I was leaving my 3 Dogs in her care. Next trip I will most definitely reach back out again to Samantha! 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you so much again for providing wonderful care of my babies <3

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kent is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $45 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 11,927 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kent choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
