“Meegan was very easy to work with regarding a home visit. She returned all texts very quickly and was on time for her “meet and greet” visit. Meegan confirmed her visit to walk/feed my two dogs on the day of the appointment and also texted me after the visit to ensure me Buddy and Charlie were ok. And lastly, my dogs were relaxed and happy to see us when we returned home later in the day. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Meegan for anyone out there looking for someone to help out with their pets. I certainly am going to use her for all my future appointments!”

“My pups loved Emily- they gave her so many doggy kisses. . Emily went above and beyond by cleaning up a few accidents they had due to being in a new house.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a deep love for animals. From a young age, I enjoyed caring for, training, and spending time with my dogs and others dogs, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. Dog walking is something I truly enjoy because I love being outdoors, staying active, and giving dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am currently working part time allowing me to focus heavily on the care of your animals. I can be flexible and willing to work around your and your pets schedule. Below are my work hours. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 9:00am - 5:30pm Thursday 9:00am to 7:pm I care for pets as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, from small and shy to big, energetic, and outgoing. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable adapting my approach to each pet rather than expecting every animal to respond the same way. I’m confident caring for both small and large breeds, energetic puppies, adult pets, and seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following specific feeding, exercise, or care instructions. I understand that shy or anxious pets may need time and space to build trust, while more outgoing pets might be ready for playtime the second I walk through the door! Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll pay attention to the little things, keep their routine as familiar as possible, and provide plenty of love, patience, and reassurance. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect reliable communication and updates while your furry family member is in my care. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work around each pet’s established schedule, whether that means morning or evening walks, regular potty breaks, feeding times, medication, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their favorite humans are away, so I make maintaining their normal routine a priority. Whether your pet needs lots of activity and attention or prefers a quieter day filled with naps and cuddles, I’m happy to adjust my schedule to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. 🐾❤️ When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I want them to feel like their routine hasn’t skipped a beat. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from meals, walks, potty breaks, and medications to favorite toys, sleeping spots, and all those little quirks that make your pet uniquely yours. 🐾 Having owned and cared for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities throughout my life, I’m comfortable with the shy ones who need time to trust, the big personalities who want to play nonstop, and the seniors who just want some extra patience and love. I also know you’re trusting me with two things that mean a lot to you: your pet and your home. I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Expect plenty of love, attention, photos, and updates, because being away from your pet is much easier when you can actually see that happy face! ❤️🐶🐱

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs as well as other animals for many years both in my own home as well as at other families homes! I can be relied on to care for the animal as if they are my own and provide lots of love to them! I work as a nanny but am also home each night and my parents are often home during the day when I am not home (they are also animal lovers!). Also happy to help on weekends as well! We have an unfenced backyard but we have a dog play area with its own ramp from the house down into a fenced in area with grass and water and some shade! Inside the house we would either crate the animal at night or if they are not used to being in a crate, keep them in a room separate from our animals with plenty of air conditioning, food, water, playtime, and lots of fun time outside!

“Steve was great with Miss Hazel. He was timely and attentive to her. Followed our instructions well and gave us lots of updates. In fact when we came home, she expected him to be there. When she didn’t see him, she went looking for him all over the house! We were only gone 2 days and already she loved him! Thanks for the peace of mind while we were away from our girl!”

About: From when I was born till now I’ve always been surrounded by animals from fish to ferrets to birds to simple as a fish to even raising chickens. So if you want you can say I have experience with them. If it one thing I learned from taking care of others animals and even my own, is that pets are a blessing to having to making sure their happy is as much important as our happiness is. I am currently saving for school and life’s opportunities. I do have a part time job but don’t worry that won’t stop me from caring and being there for you and your pet. My schedule can be rearrange with just some communication. Your baby will be loved and cared for as if he/she was my own. Animals are my joy and happiness so my goal is that your pet is having the best time of their lifes. The connection and communication is what is key. So I can promise if I can get the chance to sit your baby(pet) that they will absolutely have fun and be happy and healthy when you return.

About: I've been taking care of my own dog since we first got her 7 years ago, and I also used to volunteer at the New Milford Animal Shelter. My family fosters animals (both cats and dogs) from Because 4 Paws in New Milford, so I have some basic experience with administering medicines and helping others administer medicines. I've also been a dog sitter for 3 different families. I recently moved back to the east coast and am looking for some side work while I hunt for a full time job. I'm not sure when that will be, so I'm trying not to set my availability too far out, but am still flexible for now! Depending on what the owners are comfortable with, I would love to take the dogs out for a walk at a nearby park or walking trail. We have four cats at our house that are wary of new animals, so I am unable to pet sit at my residence. However, I am willing to spend time with your fur babies at your house or preferred location, and will follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure the comfortability of you and your pets.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!

About: I have been a family dog owner for 20 plus years. I have recently retired, lost my dog to old age and want to help other dog owners in need of pet care. I am willing to walk dogs or just check on them if needed Since I am recently retired my schedule is flexible. I can perform dog work in morning or afternoon and into the early evenings as necessary I lost my dog to old age last year. I would walk him daily in fields or parks.

Safety is paramount for all. I also walk and care for family members dog when needed.

“Ebony is a lifesaver!!! Took care of our four pets for 3 days super super last minute — she is super communicative, sends pictures often, and took our dogs on a walk daily. I have a kitten and she took special care of him. Took extra time to make sure each pet felt comfy with her. She’s our go-to sitter now!”

About: Hi, I’m Cory! I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have many years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up with multiple dogs of my own and have also cared for many dogs and cats through Rover over the years. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I do have a kitten named Callie who is very friendly and accustomed to the dogs that stay with us. Your dog does not need to be cat friendly to stay with me. If your dog doesn’t do well with cats, just let me know ahead of time so I can make arrangements to keep Callie safely separated and give your dog their own space. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and am happy to follow specific feeding schedules, walking routines, sleeping arrangements, and other instructions you provide. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs who require a little extra attention as part of their daily routine. I currently work at a middle school on weekdays until 1:45 PM. While I’m at work, my husband is home with our three children, so dogs staying with us are never left home alone during that time. Once I’m home, I’m available to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. We also have a fully fenced in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: Because this is a family home with children and I may care for dogs from more than one household, all dogs staying with me must be friendly and safe around children. Dogs must also be friendly with other dogs unless we have discussed and arranged a private stay in advance. If your dog is not dog friendly or you are unsure how they behave around other dogs, I may still be able to accommodate them ONLY when arranged with me ahead of time and I have no other dogs scheduled to board during their stay. Please contact me before booking so I can confirm whether I’m able to provide a private stay for your requested dates. Otherwise, dogs staying with me must be comfortable and safe around other dogs. For the safety of my family and every animal in my care, I ask that you be completely open with me about your dog’s personality, habits, medical needs, anxieties, triggers, and typical behavior. The more I know about your dog beforehand, the better I can make their stay comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being treated like part of the family while they’re here. You can depend on me to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care and to treat your pet as I would my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or tell me a little about your pet before booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I'm off from work during the summer and during the school year I work at a middle school until 1:45. While I’m gone, my family will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!

About: As someone who knows that your pet is a part of your family, you can trust that I will do my absolute best to take care of them. I have been a pet sitter for 4 years, providing exceptional care to the pets of neighbors, family, friends and clients. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, dietary restrictions, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for overnights with any pet! I’m okay with traveling the distance to your house to watch your pet as well as house sit if needed! I understand that animals feel most comfortable around familiar surroundings, and wouldn’t want to displace them. I’m very flexible, just let me know when I’d be needed. The environment will be your own home. Your pet will not feel displaced, and will remain comfortable in his or her own bed. I understand that familiarity is key when owners are away.

Meegan did a perfect job feeding and, especially, cuddling with our sweet old kitty. Meegan was punctual and communicated clearly with photos. I felt confident that our cat and our home were in good hands with Meegan!

Meegan went above and beyond helping me with the cats and even put seed in the feeders for the birds and even looked out for the wild lame turkey that I have been feeding for the past five years. I would recommend her highly to anyone who needs someone to take care of her animals. She's friendly, reliable, and extremely helpful.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South Kent

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Kent is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 1,784 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South 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 .

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 , 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 South Kent. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
