“Isabel is amazing! I’m a repeat client and have booked her several times for drop-in visits. My dog absolutely loves her, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends detailed updates and lots of pictures after every visit, which gives me great peace of mind. She’s reliable, caring, and I highly recommend her!”
“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 been a vet assistant for 3 years with a medical clerk license. Have experience with vaccines, medications, medical terminology, anatomy and equipment such as x-rays, ultrasounds. Worked in a small practice under an amazing veterinarian and eventually moved forward with her to now, currently working at our local humane society. I have been apart of galas raising money for our fur babies to pop up vaccines clinics in the low income communities. I’m currently looking to step away from full-time work at where I’m currently working to go back to school to become an esthetician. Looking for more part-time work to be able to focus on my studies while providing for myself. Like humans, no 1 persons needs are the same. Some require just a daily dose of cuddles while others seek after care from surgeries. At the end of the day animals deserve the same respect and care regardless of what their journey looks like. I love taking dogs on walks to enjoy the fresh air as well as simple grooming needs, to enjoying some downtime while we watch a movie together.
“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 have two big dogs of my own so I have plenty of experience with larger breeds. I’ve had puppies and kittens and grew up with lots of pets! I also cat sit and dog sit on occasion for my family! I work Part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I walk my own animals daily in addition to go to the gym. Stamina won’t be a problem no matter the energy level of your pet. I have two large dogs who run around constantly, I’m very good with clear commands and communication with them. I also take care of my families cats who can be temperamental which taught me a lot of patience when caring for animals as well.
About: Hi there! I have years of experience with all kinds of animals. I have vet tech training, as well as am a licensed wildlife rescuer/release. They all get lots of love and nutrition they need. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule to be able to visit your home for potty breaks, feeding, litter box or cage cleaning, and/or walks! I have a lot of experience with anxious pets and understand kindness and patience. If you wish, I can also send you pictures and updates!
About: Your small dog wont just be watched - they'll be welcomed into a real home with teens, another dog, and a calm old cat who has seen it all. Your baby will be part of our normal household life... car pools, walks & lots of snuggles. As a stay-at-home mom to two teens, a Maltese poodle, and a cuddly old cat, pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. Your dog will be treated like part of the family — coming along on errands, joining us for walks, and even tagging along while I shuttle my teens to their activities. They’ll settle right in as one of our own. I am very active & walk/run daily! I would love to bring your pup along to explore all the things. My home has a fully fenced yard, so dogs have safe space to play and roam. I have a friendly Maltese poodle who’s used to new company (she even goes to work with her dad a couple days a week), and an unfazed old tomcat who’s seen it all and takes new dogs in stride.
“Lora is very patient with animals, thorough with directions, and easy to communicate with. We had never used a stranger as a sitter for our beloved animals before, and we found a keeper. Coming home to happy and healthy animals made our trip even better. She kept us in the loop while we were gone, and made sure to treat taking care of them seriously. Thank you Lora. We'll definitely recommend you and book with you for our future needs.”

“Rose was so great with our cats, who definitely didn’t make it an easy visit. Regular visits, pictures and updates helped us keep peace of mind while we were away from them. They were well loved and taken care of!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs! 🐾 I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, especially when working with dogs who may experience anxiety, nervousness, or excitement around new people and environments. I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to provide a positive experience for your furry companion while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! ❤️ As a pet parent myself, caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine! 🐾 I enjoy maintaining an organized and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to each furry friend. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, whether your pet needs a refreshing walk, a potty break, feeding, playtime, or simply some extra companionship while you’re away. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while giving you peace of mind throughout the day! ❤️ Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 I understand that welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family member is a big decision. During drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, and any special routines your pet may have. For dog walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, awareness of our surroundings, and walks suited to your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I respect your home and your pet’s personal space, especially when caring for shy, anxious, or senior animals. I always aim to create a calm, positive experience without forcing interactions. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during each visit so you know your furry companion is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention! ❤️
“Marie took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout. It was clear our cats were happy and well cared for. We would gladly use her services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Xiaotong was absolutely fantastic! She gave us lots of photos and updates and was great about giving meds to one of the cats that needed it. We would 100% use her again in the future :)”
“Jamie is amazing! I needed a sitter last minute and she came to save the day! Very reliable, kind, and punctual. I will definitely reach out to Jamie again (hopefully not such short notice like last time lol) for any future bookings. Highly recommend 110%. :)”
“I had to take a last minute trip, and Laura saved me! She did a great job, went above and beyond, and I’m very lucky to have been able to book with her. Thanks so much Laura!”
About: 35 yrs in the zoo/aquarium world, consultant state wise and over seas, have had dogs and animals all shapes and sizes in my care, specialized in larger mammals, have had dogs all my life I’m currently very available. So, a good deal of my time is spent doing things with my dog, Bailey. I believe every interaction is an opportunity to learn and influence knowledge as well as shape, create or even retrain different behaviors. To start with pets new to me it’s a lot of gaining likes, dislikes, training methods, favorite toys and foods, also any training goals and how we might approach those goals as well as discussing behaviors we would want to eliminate.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Kent is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kent
Shelby did a wonderful job with our 3 cats. We had hired another sitter previously but she wasn't available on the days we needed so I had to find a new sitter. Shelby requested a meet and greet and then confirmed the job. Our 3 cats appeared to be very comfortable around her since they usually hide with new people. I would definitely use Shelby again.
Liseth and her husband really took wonderful care of our Ola boy. She followed his meal schedule, made sure fresh water and food are out and his pads all cleaned up. Sent us photos twice a day and great communication the whole time. Our dog was completely calm and happy when we walked through the door and we knew that our Ola had a great time with them. Thank you Liseth and Kevin for taking care of our rascal Ola boy. We definitely book her again in a heartbeat.
Abby is the BEST! ❤️🥹 She took care of Twinkie like her own and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, healthy, hydrated, and active. Twinkie is usually very shy and scared around new people, so seeing her bond with Abby in a way she never has with anyone else was truly heartwarming! ❤️ Abby was so thoughtful and attentive, even doing little things like closing the windows when the house got too cold exactly what any pet parent would instinctively do. She kept us updated regularly and made sure Twinkie was always comfortable and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Knowing that Twinkie was in such loving hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would 100% recommend Abby to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for their pets🐾❤️
Shannon is great and we would definitely use her again! She checked in on our pup without even meeting him first, and also accepted our last injure request. She sent us detailed updates and great photos during her drop in. Our pup looked like he was well cared for and loving her! Thanks again.
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 first time using rover app and got blessed with such an amazing, kind, responsible and caring individual! I don’t travel often but she made my anxiety go away instantly knowing I was leaving my 3 Dogs in her care. Next trip I will most definitely reach back out again to Samantha! 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you so much again for providing wonderful care of my babies <3

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kent is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $36 per visit. 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 12,461 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kent. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
