“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!”
“Isa took great care of shredder. He loves to see her so much! She is great with dogs and has a real passion for animals. I always feel good about Isa taking care of shredder”
“Kristen was amazing! She came through for us on very short notice when we needed someone to give our cat a pill after another sitter wasn’t able to. She was very sweet with our cat, spending plenty of time helping him get comfortable and showering him with affection. We never felt like she was rushed and she showed real care. And best of all, she successfully gave him the pill! It was such a relief. Kristen was friendly, super communicative, and we’re so grateful she was available. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Chelsea filled a very last minute invite to care for our sweet kitty. Our kitty warmed up to her so quickly and we had no doubt she would be in great hands. Chelsea is kind, reliable, consistent and we looked forward to her daily updates and pictures, which were always so fun to see.”
About: Hiya! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 3+ years of professional animal-care experience, including working with RASKC, volunteering with RASKC, dog walking, and pet sitting. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, special-needs animals, allergies, disabilities, large breed dogs,fearful/avoidant dogs and pets who need medications, I can safely administer oral, topical, and injectable medications and am happy to follow your pet’s usual care routine. My favorite part of pet sitting is getting to know each animal as an individual. Whether your dog needs a long walk and a good game of fetch, your cat wants someone to patiently earn their trust, or your senior pet would rather spend the afternoon getting cozy cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. When I stay in your home, I focus on keeping your pets’ routines as normal as possible so they can stay comfortable in their own space while you’re away. I provide lots of playtime, enrichment, attention, and cuddles! I’m also available for daytime walks and drop-in visits for pets who need some extra exercise, companionship, a potty break, medication, or just someone to tell them how wonderful they are while you’re at work. 😉 I’ll send you regular photos and videos so you can see what your pets are up to and know they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I can care for up to 5 dogs in a home, although I prefer up to 3 so everyone gets plenty of individual attention. I’m also happy to care for any number of cats and have experience with all kinds of feline personalities—from total cuddle bugs to shy kitties and the wonderfully spicy ones. Your pets are family. My goal is for them to feel safe, loved, entertained, and completely spoiled while you’re away! I am available for pet setting full time so I do not have any restrictions on when I am available for stopping by the house for visits or walks while also being able to stay in your home the the majority of my stay while taking care of your animals. I am generally able to assist with same day requests as long as I have met you and your animals first and discussed their needs and your expectations. I bring something a little different to pet sitting: professional shelter experience combined with a lifetime of loving animals. Working with animals professionally has taught me how to read body language, recognize when something is “off,” safely handle a wide range of personalities, and stay calm when the unexpected happens. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra patience or specialized attention, including seniors, animals with disabilities or allergies, and pets requiring oral, topical, or injectable medications. But experience isn’t the only thing I bring. I genuinely love spending time with animals. I want your pets to have fun, feel secure, and get plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m observant, dependable, communicative, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. And I’ll keep you connected with photos and videos throughout your pet’s stay, because I know you'll want to see those adorable faces while you’re away! I want you to not have to worry and enjoy your time away from home as much as possible! Most importantly, I care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine.If I am staying at your home while watching the animals I may have some daytime plans, errands or other clients to visit for a small amount of time please discuss your pets needs with me while booking to ensure there are no gaps in their care due to existing schedule conflicts. Otherwise I will just be at your home with your animals so they get my dedicated attention and I am able to calm any nerves and offer lots of cuddles, play time, enrichment, and exercise. What to expect when I meet you and your animals: When I meet with you,especially about doggos, I will want to understand what verbiage you use for things like "sit" and "lay" so I can use the same terms. It Is also important to me to know what types of training you are working on with your animals, if any, so I can work on the same things with them and continue their training with consistency. I will also work with you to get an understanding of their feeding process and routines so they get their meals exactly correct and at the exact right time.I will do the same with medication details, leashing/haltering and walking paths if any, bathroom schedules and night time schedules.It is very important to me that I am aware of your cats or dog's triggers, if any, so I can better tailor my care to them and proactively keep their environment as comfortable as possible. There is nothing I cannot handle as long as I am educated about the animals needs.
“Joshua was great. We met for a meet and greet before I left for vacation and Summer warmed up to him immediately. My neighbors also told me I had a very nice dog sitter while out of town. No complaints!”
“Willa was amazing! She took great care of my cat while we were away in Bali. She made sure to feed her twice a day and even played with her in the garden. We also had a broken door, and Willa took care of it right away while we were away from home. I really appreciate everything she did for us. I can’t wait to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs all my life, and been a trusted dog sitter and walker for friends, family, and neighbors, including dogs with extreme anxiety or reactivity. Since moving to Kent, I don't have a dog of my own and would love to spend some quality time with your pup! I am available all week (and holidays) to help however you and your furry family need me. I currently work fully remote with a flexible schedule, so I can be available virtually all week, day and night. If dog sitting at your house, I only request wifi access so I can get work done between dog walks, playtime and cuddles. I have a small fenced patio if your dog needs significant outside time, otherwise they are welcome to my entire townhome. I have a cat who is quiet and keeps to herself, and who can also be kept in her own separate room if needed. My neighborhood is great for walks with access to my gated community and nearby a long river trail. I have had dogs that are crate trained and those that roamed free at night, and can accommodate whichever your pup needs.
About: I value quality time and care! Being present and providing enrichment whether that’s through walks, playtime, cuddles, snacking keeps them happy and content! Building that bond and connection is my highest priority and you can count on me to be there for your pet(s) (: My job allows me to have a really flexible schedule and weekend availability! Weekdays I can be flexible but I will need an advance notice Routine is very important- especially when it comes to potty and feeding time. Dietary restrictions are important to watch out for and exercise/walks are a must as well! Playtime to keep them company is what I value too, or I can be a couch potato and cuddle with them too if they prefer that!
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.
“Marcola was awesome with our highly sensitive pibbles pitty. She communicated with us on how Ruby was feeling today, which was moody, but she did a great job navigating it. We’ve used her before and will certainly use her again. Two thumbs up and a tail wag!”
“Gino did a wonderful job! He dropped in twice a day and let me know in detail how Gidget was doing at each visit. I felt at ease and comfortable that Gidget was being well looked after.”
“Cyndi was wonderful! I’m always nervous leaving our girls so I really appreciate her being so consistent and communicating while we were gone. She really went above and beyond for us and I can’t recommend her enough! We will 100% be rebooking her for all of our future trips.”
“Danielle took such good care of my Maximus. This was my first time using the Rover service and Danielle made me feel like Max was safe, staying active and had a good time while I was away. I will be hiring her again. So many pictures and a very detailed synopsis of her stay each time she came to check on him. Thank you so much!!”
“Kimee is phenomenal! She was extremely patient with our puppy and even trained her to not jump up much! She has a great temperament and is clearly knowledgeable when it comes to ways to make an obedient puppy. She treated our home and animals with respect and we will definitely contact her in the future :)”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, and I treat every furry friend like family. From energetic walks and playful adventures to cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully and love creating a stress-free, fun experience for every tail that wags my way! I currently work full-time, so I’m available for pet care on weekdays after 6 PM. On weekends, I have full availability and can provide care while owners are away, ensuring your pets receive consistent attention, love, and care. My community offers a dog potty area and nearby park. My cat Chrome is social, and I can provide grooming, walks, and loving care for pets.
“Courtney did a great job yet again. She dropped in and fed my cat twice a day, gave him some much needed attention, and even handled some packages that arrived while I was away. I would definitely recommend Courtney to anyone who needs someone to drop in on to take care of their cat friend.”

Christina took amazing care of Cannoli for a week while we were away on vacation! She is so wonderful 🫶🏻 and we couldn't be happier with our experience with her. Excellent communication, super dependable, and Cannoli clearly adored her. Christina always updated us and sent us the cutest videos and pics and left notes to keep us well informed about the visits. We appreciate the time and care she put on our beloved Cannoli 😽. Leaving home is so much easier knowing your pet is in such wonderful hands. Highly recommend!
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.
Marcola was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond by offering multiple times to meet in person beforehand, which really showed her thoughtfulness and professionalism—even though my schedule didn’t allow it. It was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves and enjoys caring for animals. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my three cats, even without meeting beforehand. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kent. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
