“Super professional. Easy meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog came home happy and tired from playing in the yard. Wendy helped up our when we were in a bind when our other Rover fell through and was super accommodating.”
“Maria is just fantastic! She is very professional, so very kind and sweet. We received daily updates, pics and videos of our dog Micky. She even groomed him and trimmed his claws for us. Our dog was part of her family and we highly recommend Maria and we will happily use her again. Maria deserves more then 5 stars. ???”
“Alan and Luis are awesome! They are extremely dedicated to taking care of all the pups staying with them and send you great updates and pictures. They are easy to work with, and overall, lovely people. 10/10 recommend for all your pet sitter needs!”
“Dyan ensured that Deuce was safe and comfortable in her home. She provided me with daily photos and updates which made me feel at ease knowing that Deuce was in good hands. I will definitely continue to use Dyan in the future and recommend her services!”
“Michelle did an amazing job with our dog. She was very loving and caring towards him. I could see in the photos and videos that Michelle sent that our dog was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with Michelle again and highly recommend her.”
“We had an incredible experience. From the first meet and greet, watching the way she introduced 1 dog st a time. Advising me to bring Ranger to a dog park between our meet and his stay was an nice way for me to see how well he got along and played with others. I was more at ease about leaving my pup for a week. He returned happy, well cared for and tired from his vacation. I would absolutely leave Ranger in Cruz Maria again.”
“Our dog Rocky loves staying with Kevin and Brian! He comes home tired and we never have to worry that he is safe and happy! He gets lots of love and we can relax that he is in good hands. We have used them many times and will continue to!”
“Bruce was wonderful with our pup, Cody! He was very communicative throughout the stay, and it was clear that Cody had a really nice time with him. We are grateful for his efforts to take such good care of Cody!!”
“Josh is fantastic! He had my pup for 6 days. He sent photos and updates throughout his stay there, was really communicative about how he was doing and a big bonus was he has two great dogs of his own to play with. Can’t wait to book with him for our next trip!”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Richard and Sandra watched our dog for two weeks and were wonderful. The fenced-in yard was perfect for our dog. They sent us regular updates so we knew our dog was being well cared for, and she was healthy and happy when we picked he upr. We highly recommend them!”
“Ariadne was great! She has a beautiful, clean and well organized home and I could tell she really loves animals. I got lots of pictures while I was away and my dog looked great when I picked her up. Ariadne is also very sweet and likable. I highly recommend her!”

“Our cavalier Hula had an awesome stay with Mecheal! Mecheal has a great fenced in yard, and only takes one dog at a time so I know she was getting all the attention. Mecheal sent great pictures everyday, so we could check up on our pooch. I definitely recommend this Rover.”
“Angela has once again exceeded my expectations caring for my pup, Eleanor. I let her know she had an upset stomach before coming and Angela had chicken with rice ready to go. As always, I received daily pictures and updates of Eleanor with her besties, romping around the big yard. Thank you for opening your home a second time, we'll be back soon!”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kensington
We are taking a long trip in December, and decided to book a one night stay with Emma and Marco to make sure that our dog Arrow was going to do well. They were so communicative, sent a bunch of pictures, that I could tell dropping him off that he was very comfortable with them. He did very well on his one night day, and I’m very comfortable and excited for him to be staying with them while on our trip, rather than bringing him to a kennel for boarding. They are such great people, you’ll be absolutely fine leaving your dog in their hands.
We had a hard time finding a sitter near home in Pittsburgh for our almost six-year old Jack Russell, and Georgiana was close-by to our destination and was willing to meet us via Zoom before booking. She was the most communicative Rover sitter we have ever had. I received an update and multiple photos and videos every evening. She was so kind and so accommodating, and flexible when we asked to pick up our dog several hours earlier than planned. Heidi was well cared for and had fun playing ball and fetch in the fenced backyard. I cannot recommend Georgiana highly enough. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!
Araceli & Uciel are wonderful! Such good and conscientious carers, understand dogs well and especially senior dogs. Our little old guy came home with a pep in his steps and we are so eternally grateful for their care. Her little furbabies are so intuitive and knew how to gently treat our old guy too.
Agnes was such a pleasure to meet. She answered all of our questions and immediately made our dog feel welcome and comfortable. During the stay, she took our pet on regular walks and kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. I would definitely recommend Agnes to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. Five stars!
Chris and Fernanda took such great care of our mini goldendoodle Eevee. Eevee felt comfortable with the whole family and their son Luke right away. They also sent lots of photos and updates. We’re so glad to have been able to find them for a last minute trip and would highly recommend !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kensington on Rover is $47.84 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 912 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Kensington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Kensington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kensington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kensington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Kensington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
