“Kristen is simply lovely! Our pup can be pretty quirky, and she handled him with so much grace, love, and ease. She even gave our cat a little extra love while we were away. Totally trustworthy and friendly – we will definitely use her again!”
“Lora continues to be such a reliable and responsible cat sitter for my very grumpy Siamese cat. I trust Lora with Milo and my condo and I can tell how much she really cares. She’s great!”
“Sophia is great! She is very accountable and communicates well. Our shy puppy warmed up to her very quickly and loved playing with Sophia during drop-in visits. Sophia helped us while transitioning Bailey to doggie day camp. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will definitely have Sophia back. Thank you!”
“I would 10/10 recommend Marcola to watch your babies! My boys were taken care of so well! I have 3 sphynx cats and they’re very high maintenance and she did a perfect job and even went above and beyond and vacuumed the litter off the floor around the kitchen and the litter boxes! She always sent me pics and vids so I could see my babies while I was gone too. She kept my boys full and happy while I was gone and I’m so grateful!!!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with playful, energetic pets as well as those who are more shy, cautious, or need a little extra patience to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them attention while respecting their space. My goal is simple: make sure your pets are safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working a job and my current schedule for assisting with our furry friends reflects that schedule! Friday to Monday is my current schedule for helping our friends! I care for every pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. Before each visit or walk, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions from their owner. During walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and engaged while allowing them to enjoy their time outside. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure pets have fresh water, food, attention, and a clean and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My priority is always the pet’s safety and making sure they receive the same patience, love, and attention I would want for my own pets.
“Jennifer does an amazing job showing our kitty love and care while we are gone. She spends time playing and caring for our pet. We’ve used Jennifer two times now and I will not hesitate to call her back as necessary for 3rd or beyond.”
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for animals, and being around pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, and when I didn’t have one of my own, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors relied on to care for theirs. My experience includes caring for both large and small dog breeds, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits and horses and spent several summers on a farm, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and teaching me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible care. In addition, my brother is a professional dog trainer, which has given me valuable insight into dog behavior, communication, and positive handling techniques. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve learned practical skills that help me understand dogs and create a calm, safe environment for them. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. I’m currently pretty flexible, and starting in September, I’ll mainly be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule can vary from time to time, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to the routine they’re used to. Every dog is different, so I always ask about their schedule, personality, and any special instructions before I start caring for them. If I’m working that day, I always make sure we get a good walk in before I leave. It’s a great way for them to use the bathroom, burn off some energy, and start the day on a positive note. I usually aim for at least a 30-minute walk. When I get home, we head back outside for another potty break and walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they enjoy, our walk might be 30 minutes or it could turn into a longer walk around the neighborhood. Before bed, I always take them out one last time so they’re comfortable for the night. I follow whatever feeding schedule you already have in place, whether that’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I know pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh water, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
“Shelli was able to fill my last minute request and I’m so grateful! She’s a great communicator and was patient and engaging with my shy dog. I would book with Shelli 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.”
About: I have had pets my whole life, including large dogs and cats, and caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life. I have raised puppies, worked on basic training and routines, and cared for elderly pets who needed extra patience, comfort, medication awareness, and attention to changes in behavior or mobility. What sets me apart is that I understand pets have their own personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I will take the time to follow your instructions, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. I do not currently have a pet of my own, so I would truly love the opportunity to spend time with and care for other people’s fur babies. I work from home as a consultant and set my own schedule. My availability is very flexible as I can schedule meetings and onsite work around your needs. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I will follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime routines, and any household expectations. I understand that being away from their people can be stressful for some pets, so I will take a calm, patient approach and let them adjust to me at their own pace. I will give them attention, affection, and reassurance while also respecting their personality, boundaries, and normal routine. I will also treat your home with care and respect. I will keep pet areas clean, make sure food and water are refreshed, clean up after your pets, and keep you updated so you know how they are doing while you are away.
“Courtney kept an eye on our two cats despite their best efforts to stay hidden. We had awesome daily updates and we were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries or concerns. We highly recommend her if you have skittish or nervous cats in your house!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have two Toy Poodles and a cat of my own, and I also pet sit for my sister’s Corgi and Ragdoll cat. I’ve also had experience caring for a senior Pomeranian, which taught me the importance of being patient, gentle, and attentive to a pet’s individual needs. Because I have pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I’m comfortable following their routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have flexibility throughout the week and can work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to coordinate around your preferred schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I’ll do my best to provide consistent care and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special instructions or needs. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised, and their environment stays clean and comfortable. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for walks, my goal is to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I've been loving animals and learning more and more about pet care for over 10 years! I have a range of knowledge, experience and a genuine love for animals that ensures your furry friends receive top-notch attention and affection. My home has a 3-bedroom layout with both a front and back yard, providing plenty of room for your pets to play and explore. I have 2 lovely cats, I understand the nuances of animal care and the importance of a safe, comfortable environment. My commitment to proper care and individualized attention means your pets will feel right at home while you're away. I'm of by 3pm every day! I spend most of my time off at home and have no big commitments that would take me away short notice for long periods of time. I live right next to 2 parks and have a safe neighborhood to walk in. There's nothing that your pet can accidentally eat or break. My two cats are both troublemakers who assure there's nothing unsafe out to get into. The only people in and out of my home is myself and my boyfriend, so no strangers coming around. Our backyard is fenced. All hardwood and tile floors, already destroyed so no worries about scratches and marks! if needed your baby has an entire room to themselves.
About: I’ve had both my entire life. All of our animals have been rescues, the most recent additions being quite literally rescued from a bush. I no longer live with my dogs, but I was with two dogs, a cat, and 10 chickens. I dog-sit for three family members often and have decided to expand my services. One family member has one large dog who requires a lot of attention due to anxiety and 1 cat. The other family have 3 dogs ranging in different sizes and needs. And finally, for my close friend who has two very active cats. I love being with dogs and cats, whether we’re playing all day or they just wanna sit around and want a lot of petting time. I am available Saturday to Wednesday prior to 9am and after 6pm, but can do a drop in during my lunch break. I am available all day Thursdays and Fridays, and am available holidays. My cat is an indoor only cat. I only take her outside when she’s in her backpack. I completely understand the stress of not letting your pet run out the door. I’m also fully able to crate dogs

Can’t recommend Melia enough to take care of your pets while you’re away. throughout my trip i was given plenty of updates on the wellbeing of my pets which i do consider my children. I was able to rest easy knowing they were in good hands. I look forward to booking Melia again on my next trip. 🩵🐶🐱
My dog, Chica, loves Jamal! Since Jamal has started visiting with Chica, she has been more relaxed and calm when I get home from work. Jamal is more than accommodating to schedules, mishaps, and anything that comes up. I’m so glad Chica has Jamal in her life, thanks so much man!

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.

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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Kent with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
