“As always, Isabel did a great job taking care of Chip and Theo. She was available very last minute which took a lot of stress off me for such a late request. I will continue to book her in the future.”
“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!”
“Kimes is always so wonderful when it comes to cat sitting for us. She is responsive to messages, sends pictures, and lets us know if she notices anything or if the ordinary. We appreciate her time and care for our baby girl.”
“Excellent job! He sent us pictures each visit and it was so nice to see the doggies outside having fun. I felt very comfortable with Josh coming in my home and checking on the dogs. It made travel so much less stressful; one less thing to worry about!”
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.
“Susan was fabulous. We did a meet and greet a coupe days prior to having her check in on our little pup-pup Griffey. She took care of him while we were away two long evenings in a row for our daughters wedding rehearsal, dinner, wedding and reception. We felt very comfortable having Susan check in, feed Griffey his dinner and play his favorite ball toss with him. Without hesitation we will ask Susan to take care of our Griffey and our daughters kitty cats in the future. Thank you Susan <3”
About: For the past few years, I've pet sat for all of my friends and family members with pets (mainly dogs, but I have had experience with cats as well!) I love animals, and would love to be your go-to pet sitter! 😊 I currently am working part time during the weekdays which gives me availability anytime after 2pm as well as anytime on the weekends to watch your pets! I have a number of parks as well as trails near my place that will work to give your pet(s) plenty of space to run around!
“Kristen is great with our fur babies. Sadie May is a high energy, drama queen who loves the attention she gets from Kristen. Gibbs usually hides from everyone and it was so nice to see a picture of him. Two 👍🏽👍🏽. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
About: I’ve raised Guide Dog puppies both here and in Las Vegas. Raising a Guide Dog puppy is a 24 hour job with daily training/teaching regiments. We teach them basic commands and expose them to the public and public places. It was great fun and very rewarding. I’m am retired. So I have plenty of time to give to your fur baby. As well as, all the attention he or she needs. In a clients home, the safety of the pet comes first. If that means there is a fenced yard or they need to be taken out on a leash every hour then that is what will get done.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own, so caring for them is second nature to me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s getting outside for a walk, playing, or simply keeping them company during the day. Living with my own dogs has made me very familiar with daily routines like feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, and paying attention to behavior or mood changes. I understand how important consistency is and take care to follow instructions closely so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog the way I treat my own—with patience, attentiveness, and respect. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on making sure both you and your pet feel at ease while you’re away I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. I’m available for both recurring schedules and last-minute requests, and I make it a priority to be reliable and consistent for each booking. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times, stay aware of surroundings, and adjust the pace based on your dog’s age and energy level. I avoid unsafe situations like overcrowded areas or interactions with unfamiliar dogs unless approved. For drop-in visits, I follow your care instructions closely—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before leaving and keep your home just as I found it. I take time to build trust with each pet, especially those who may be shy or anxious, and I always prioritize a calm, patient approach. You’ll receive updates and photos after each visit so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Willa was super sweet and professional. She checked in on my kitties and sent photos every day. She was always quick to respond and helped me since this was my first time booking with Rover.”
About: I've spent my whole life surrounded by dogs and caring for them. With my own dog, I used to take her on runs which was always the best. If you have a high energy pooch, I'm your guy! I also have walked more mellow dog, so I can take it slow as well. Whatever energy level your pet is at, I'm ready to match it so they can have a great time! :) Right now I'm working part time and my schedule is very flexible! Weekdays are when I'm mainly free but I'm open to weekends as well. When walking dogs, I'm aware of the dogs body language so that they can have a fun time exercising without being stressed. With cats, I watch my movements as to not scare them.
“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.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I had a dog in Colombia who was part of my family for 15 wonderful years, and now I have two cats here in the United States. Caring for pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to make animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and treating them like family. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I always make sure pets receive attention, playtime, and loving care. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important routines, patience, and supervision are, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own cats.

Isabel has been absolutely wonderful with my pets. It is clear from the moment you meet her that she genuinely loves animals, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog and cat were both well cared for, and I could tell they felt comfortable and loved in her care. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just “watch” your pets. She truly cares about them. She treats them like they are her own, pays attention to their needs, and makes sure they feel safe and happy. That level of compassion is hard to find. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, kind, communicative, and genuinely invested in your pets’ well-being, I cannot recommend Isabel enough. I will absolutely book with her again, and I know my babies will be excited to see her!
Thank you Holly for taking such great care of our kitties this weekend! Having a diabetic cat makes traveling stressful, but Holly made us feel completely at ease. She did an excellent job testing blood glucose, giving insulin, sticking to schedules and even helping with food dishes. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, sent updates, and handled our sassy calico like a pro. We truly appreciated the care and attention she gave our cats, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kent on Rover is $23.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 12,720 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kent. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 91% 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.
