“Danielle was lovely with our pups. I really appreciated how we did an initial meet and greet with a test walk for our behemoth of a German Shepherd. Her communication was also top notch. Highly recommend!”
“Isa did a great job with our dog, Frida. She’s reliable and communicative, and it’s clear from the pictures that all of our animals (dog and 3 cats) wanted to be around her! We recommend her for your dog and cat care needs, and we’ll definitely be rebooking her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since my early childhood. I bathed, walked, and fed dogs, making sure all their needs are met no matter how specific. I am a college student with a lot of free time while searching for a part time job. I have plenty of time to watch pets, walk dogs, stop by, etc. I make sure their bowls are filled and listen to the owner's instructions when applicable. I love entertaining and making sure they get their proper exercise (and it helps me get a work out in too)
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for seniors, special-needs pets, anxious animals, and pets who need oral medications or a little extra patience. I’m big on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and all the little things they’re used to at home. Some pets want to be attached to your hip, while others need time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I have two cats of my own and have had cats throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable with cat care as well as dogs. I’m used to everything from easygoing pets to the stubborn, mischievous, and “will absolutely eat that if you turn around for two seconds” variety. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay attention to your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I spend most of my free time at home and have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime and company. We always start the day with a morning walk before I head to work, and I’m usually home by 3pm for the rest of the afternoon and evening. When I’m not home, my husband usually is, so there’s typically someone around to keep an eye on things and give your pet some company. I can sometimes accommodate short-notice requests, and I live right next to two parks in a safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. My home is kept pretty pet-safe — my two cats are professional troublemakers, so they’ve made sure we don’t leave much out that curious pets can get into. It’s just my husband and me at home, so there aren’t lots of unfamiliar people coming and going. We have a fully fenced backyard, and the house is mostly hardwood and tile, so scratches, muddy paws, and normal pet messes aren’t something I stress about. If your pet needs their own space, they can also have an entire room to themselves for a quiet, comfortable place to relax.
“We were really lucky to have Monique look after our pup. She’s highly professional, friendly, reliable. Best of all, our pup loved her and we will definitely book Monique again in the future as well as recommend her to all of our friends.”
“Alexis was very nice and friendly. Arrived a few minutes prior to the scheduled time to get acquainted with me and the dogs. She knows the area so don't have to explain where she should walk. My dogs loved the walks.”
“We are so fortunate to have had Susan walk our dog for the last 6 months. She is very responsive to emails and keeps us informed about her schedule. Our dog loves her and has been so much more active and happy since we set up regular walks. I highly recommend Susan!”
“Meghan does a great job walking my 2 large breed dogs! She always sends pictures and updates, and I can tell they are having a good time. She is flexible and willing to pick up extra days when they come up or change the time of a walk if needed. I will definitely be booking Meghan again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging in all size and age since I was a teen. I’ve taken care of cats as well 1-3 at a time. Currently between jobs so I have a lot of time I can spend with your pets! I tend to have a couple activities a week but can plan less with notice I will care for your pet at your house in whatever way you deem fit, whether that means crating or multiple walks a day. Whatever your pet does best with!
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.
“Kalie was amazing with our dogs. She was very patient with them as they can be a handful on the walk. She provided photos and updates on each walk. I trust Kalie with our pups and will definitely hire her again! Thanks Kalie.”
“What a blessing to find our MJ!! Thank you!! 🙏 Gilbert and I are so happy to have you. How amazing it is to have peace of mind when traveling that my boy is loved and well taken care of. I cannot thank you enough!! Gilbert said “I love you!” 😘❤️🥰🥰🥰”
“Raeven is clearly gifted! She is one of the good ones. She is truly a dog whisperer. My dog, Gabby, absolutely loves her like I have never seen her behave with another person save for me and my husband. It makes my heart smile. I know she is being well taken care of and super happy. Raeven is communicative, sends pics, and clearly cares about each animal like they belong to her personally.”

Maribel is excellent. I needed someone reliable to walk my dogs while I was on vacation. She is professional, timely and very careful with the dogs. I have a senior that needs a bit of attention on walks and Maribel did great. She always sent pictures and updates and was careful to confirm dates and times.
Garrett was the greatest! A real lifesaver when I dog sitting for a neighbor.. due to mobility issues I wasn’t able to do long walks like Riley needed.. enter Garrett. He was great in communication and punctual for every walk. He was patience with me and all my questions. Riley also had the best time during every walk. She got to get some the energy out she had and came home a happy happy tired girl. Garrett was great to Riley also you can tell he loves dogs and cats.. I will appreciate him and what he did for Riley and me always.. thank you! Pick him if you are looking for a dog walker you will not regret it!!!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kent. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 walker.
