“Outstanding! If you are looking for a top-notch, caring, personable sitter look no further. Could not have asked for a better sitter. She is is so dependable and was wonderful with our dog who sometimes is wary of new people but made us feel so at ease about leaving our dog in her care. She is the best seriously, BOOK HER now! Thank you Christine for being amazing !!!”

About: Since I was a teenager, I've been entrusted with the care of pets belonging to friends, relatives, and neighbors. They know they can rely on me to give their furry buddies the attention they deserve. What sets me apart is my experience in administering various medications, including insulin for both dogs and cats. I've become quite skilled at handling those sometimes-tricky injections. Whether it's insulin, oral medications, or other prescribed treatments, I'll make sure your pet gets the right dosage at the right time. On top of that, I have two cats and two dogs of my own who are my absolute world. Having my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, love, and understanding when it comes to providing exceptional care. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive the highest level of care. From medication administration to cuddles and playtime, I'll give your furry companions all the attention and love they need. They'll be in great hands with me! As someone who works from home in the commercial Insurance field, I have the flexibility to effortlessly incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. During the day, I'm available to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy. Regular bathroom breaks are a must, and I'll make sure your furry friends have plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs and do their business while they're with me. Once my workday winds down in the evenings, my focus shifts to spending quality time with the pets in my care. We'll go for leisurely walks, engage in playful activities, and I'll give them all the attention they need to keep their tails wagging and their spirits high. If needed, I can easily rearrange my workspace to stay close to your pets throughout the day. Your pets' safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I'll always be there to address their needs promptly. For your convenience, I'm available for Drop-In visits before 8 am and after 4:45 PM on weekdays. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, or playtime, I'm here to provide the necessary care during these times to fit your schedule. Rest assured that your pets will be pampered and loved as if they were my own. I understand the importance of consistency, and I'll create a warm and structured environment where your furry companions can thrive and feel right at home. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, trust, and happiness, whether they're in my home or in their own cozy space. For dogs, I have a fantastic fenced-in yard where they can freely explore and have a blast off-leash. It's a secure space where they can burn off their energy and have a paw-some time! If your furry friend is a small animal that prefers or requires a crate, I've got you covered. I have crates available to ensure their comfort and safety. Just let me know if you'd like them to have their own cozy space. In addition to these services, I offer drop-in visits, which means I'll swing by your place to take care of all the important stuff—feeding, bathroom breaks, and playtime included! It's a great way to ensure your pets are happy and well taken care of while you're away. Whether you need boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, or dog walking, I've got you and your furry pals covered! Your pets will feel right at home during boarding or house sitting, getting all the love and attention they deserve. Doggy daycare is a fun and stimulating experience for your pups, while dog walking ensures they stay fit, healthy, and have a wag-tastic time outside. Rest assured, I'll treat your pets like family—providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment no matter where they are. You can count on me to make their experience full of tail wags, purrs, and all-around happiness!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.

“This was the first time Lydia watched my 3 pups. She is very nice and I felt comfortable at the meet and greet. I knew she would take great care of them. She gave updates and assured me they were fine. My female dog was struggling when I first left , Lydia gave her extra love. Now that I am home, I think my Bailey is missing Lydia. I will definitely reach out to her in the future.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2018 and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I currently have a cat and a bird of my own, and I’ve also had dogs in the past. I’m an Agriscience Education major and took Animal Science in high school, so I’ve always had a strong interest in animals and their care. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, cleaning litter boxes and cages, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and playtime. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a college student, so my schedule can vary depending on my classes, but I have flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to plan visits around my class schedule and make sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to communicate ahead of time to work out a schedule that fits both you and your pet! I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they are in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they leave for me. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure doors, gates, cages, and other areas are secure before I leave. I also understand that some pets can be nervous around new people, so I’m patient and give them time to get comfortable with me. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel safe and confident while you’re away!

About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.

“We could not have been happier with Terry as our sitter! She was great at sending updates every morning and our dog seemed to be very happy spending time with her. He is also extremely picky when it comes to new people but Terry was great with him! We were very nervous as this was the first time we left him with a sitter for an extended period of time but Terry did a wonderful job to ease our nerves. It's also a huge plus that she can work from home as well so your pet will get full time care with her. She also left the house spotlessly clean and in pristine condition and was kind enough to leave us with gifts as well! 5 stars all around and we highly recommend her!!!”

I have tremendous confidence in Clarissa and look forward to using her again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

About: I am here to take of your dog and to provide them the love they long when it’s vacation time for owners (or anytime you need to yourself). Provide exercise for dogs (usually in half-hour or one-hour increments). Pick up and dispose of dog droppings during walks. Check dogs' food and water supply to make sure basic needs are met after walks. I am very patient and show a lot of compassion towards dog. I just want them to feel at home away from home! I am also a very active person, so your dog will be able to have all of their fun they usually have or more when they are with me! I hope to walk your dog soon! Prices are non negotiable I am working from home currently. This will allow me to give your first baby all of the attention they desire. Please ask me any questions on any accommodations that we may be able to work out. I don’t have any pets of my own so if your fur baby isn’t fond of other pets they can feel secure being over my home. My I am close with my neighbors who do have friendly pets as well, so if your pet loves company, they can be easily accommodated. We also have a dog park walking distance from the complex

He takes great care of our older dog, Thor who is almost 14. Thor needs to be carried up the stairs and has accidents. Birol is always positive and takes great care of him. He also cares for our cat, Pearl. He sends pictures and always keeps you in the loop!”

Kelsey was a life saver! She stepped in during an emergency situation, not having met me or the dogs, and helped me out tremendously. She was also great with keeping in contact and answering texts promptly. I enjoyed receiving pictures of the dogs while I was away too. That was very thoughtful and very appreciated. Her rates are very reasonable as well. Can't go wrong with this girl. I do plan on using her again. Thank you, Kelsey!

It was a pleasure having Busara spend time with my Benni. Benni is a high maintenance pup and Busara handled all his quirks in stride. She kept to his schedule, provided lots of love and hugs and kept me up to date with their adventures daily. I came home to a happy and healthy boy as well as a bonus of an immaculate house. It’s always great to know that your “Baby” is in good hands while traveling and I have no hesitation referring Busara for your needs.

We had a wonderful experience with Hannah as our dog sitter. She was incredibly kind and understanding, she kept us updated with photos of our boy Sebastian, and was always quick to respond. Sebastian is a 70-pound senior dog, and she handled him confidently and with great care, which gave us real peace of mind during our time away. He was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kent Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Kent Acres is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 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 285 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kent Acres. 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 Acres 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 Acres 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 Acres 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 Acres. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
