“Followed instructions and took great care of our babies!! Was communicative!! Overall, great service, super friendly, and communicative!! Appreciate Danielle's help, especially with our changing schedule with our trip.”
“Kristin was the best Dogsitter & house sitter we’ve ever had. She constantly shared updates to let us know things were going well, took amazing pictures, and handled all the pups complicated medical issues. They were so happy and realized with hereven though they’re so high strung. She’s truly cares about their well being. Also I’m pretty sure the house was cleaner than when we left!! A+++ thank you so much!!!”
“So glad to have found someone I trust to take care of my kitties!! She always keeps me up to date on what’s going on and sends pictures. Makes the time away from them a little less stressful ❤️🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“Stuart did an amazing job! Gizmo was well cared for and when he got into something on the street Stuart immediately called my vet to make sure he didn’t need to come in, then promptly checked in with me. Also left my apartment very clean!”
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
“Stephanie keeps us updated throughout her stay and takes wonderful care of our dog and home. She always makes us confident that our pup is in good hands while we're away.”
“Casey took care of our two dogs during our time in Charleston, and she made everything easier. She adjusted her arrival time to fit our schedule and did everything we asked without any fuss. When we arrived late, she made sure we still had access to our keys, which was a huge relief after a long day of travel. Most importantly, she was great with the dogs. They were relaxed, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her, which is the best review a dog can give. We’d book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kim is an incredible pet sitter. She took excellent care of our dog. She built a great relationship with our little guy and also with us dog owners. She was easy to communicate with and was always on time. My family was able to enjoy the parks in Orlando while we knew someone was taking great care of our pet. She was flexible with our schedules which allowed us to have a great vacation. My next trip to Orlando, I will definitely rebook. 10/10 rating.”
“She was wonderful! Sent many pictures and updates and expressed often how much she enjoyed staying with my two boys. She has such a friendly attitude and I’m so glad that she was there for them!”
“Everything went good! Took care of 2 dogs and 3 cats and watched our house. Alex asked questions, validated care instructions, arrived on-time, and left house clean :) would hire again.”
“My dogs absolutely love Ravan. I was gone on a fairly long vacation but was kept updated with photos and knew they were so well taken care of!!!! Can’t recommend Ravan strongly enough - she’s just wonderful.”
“Steve was great! Conscientious and very communicative. He took excellent care of our “boys”. Gave medication for several days and followed all the routines for feeding and toileting. He brought in packages and checked the mail regularly. Thank you!”
“Lalenya was wonderful keeping our three dogs and home safe and sound while we were out of town. Our dogs were comfortable with her immediately during our meet and greet and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She provided pictures of our pups and let me know of important issues with the house. Would definitely book again!”
“McKenna was wonderful with our dogs, an older English Springer Spaniel and a very energetic 3 month old English Setter puppy. She handled a long 10 hour day great, watching the puppy and our older dog both inside and in our large fence outdoor yard. She communicated questions via text during the day and sent some great photos of the dogs. I would highly recommend her to others. She seems to really care and is very responsible.”
About: I would like to note that this account has transitioned to a shared account with Sarah & Justin. I unfortunately cannot change the name linked to the account, but we both access this to coordinate and support your pup. We live together in Ballard with our dog Kylo and are eager to love your pup like it's our own. Sarah here! Justin and I have a dog together, my second so far, who is always accepting of new friends in the home to play with and nap with. He’s an energetic pup, so him and I get frequent walks throughout the day. My past dog was an older, senior dog who required a bit more medical attention and care. She helped me gain experience with medicating dogs, cleaning wounds, and providing simple rehab for them (when prescribed by a vet). I am eager to support your dog in any way needed; I won't shy away from any added needs. Justin here! Sarah and I have a dog together, Kylo. I had the luxury of growing up with many dogs, cats, birds, and even a pet iguana. I lived with my two best friends and their two dogs for four years, operating as a live in sitter for all of their vacations. Having your dog in our home will be an added bonus for me! Kylo and I would love all the extra playtime and snuggles! Sarah works in Bellevue most days out of the week, but has flexibility in her mornings. She will take Kylo to the dog park in the morning to run around and play with friends, or a longer walk around the neighborhood to sniff and explore. Justin works from home from 7am to 2:30pm, but has a ton of flexibility in his work schedule. He does have meetings throughout the day where he cannot attend to the pups, but before and after meetings they get walks, playtime, and snuggles. Our dog Kylo spends most of his day sleeping and resting up for his afternoon adventures (when there's no Rover pup to play with). On the weekends we love taking Kylo out on hikes or to the dog park to run around and play. His favorite is Magnuson in the summer to go swimming. We want your pet to feel welcome in our home and make it their second residence. Anything we can do to support that is no issue! We live in an apartment but have quick access to a quiet neighborhood for walks and sniffs. Kylo always loves having a friend to join him!
“Jessica is awesome, and so is George! Our dog Bria is very much a home body and picky about the humans she chooses to befriend. Bria and Jessica did great together, and Bria loved playing with George! Jessica communicates well and was a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to use Jessica again. Bria said it's okay, and she's the one we are trying to please! :-)”

Lalenya was wonderful keeping our three dogs and home safe and sound while we were out of town. Our dogs were comfortable with her immediately during our meet and greet and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She provided pictures of our pups and let me know of important issues with the house. Would definitely book again!
I had an emergency & had to leave my furbabies home for a few days. Luckily, Isabel was able to help me care for them. I have a little dog with some health issues who’s a super picky eater & Isabel made sure to offer different types of food & tried multiple ways to entice her to eat. My cat is also pretty skittish & fearful of new people, but warmed up fast to Isabel. My other 2 furbabies are a feral pigeon & a bunny & she gladly helped me out with keeping them alive as well. I’m so glad I found her, she took great care of all my babies & wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to my friends & family ☺️
Gerald was great — the dogs were super happy and relaxed with him. He took them to the dog park and lots of walks, and it sounded like a fun time for all. He is very communicative and responsive, and heeded my notes and instructions for the dogs. Overall I very much recommend!
Lois is simply the best! Both her prior veterinary experience and her thoughtfulness can’t be beat. She was patient and attentive with our blind, senior dog with a tendency for mild separation anxiety through the firework-heavy holiday weekend. She made time for a meet and greet and followed our instructions to a T. She also went above and beyond with a few chores before she left. Thank you, Lois!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kent is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 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.
As of November 2026, there are 8,029 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kent. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kent walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kent maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kent. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
