About: I have had dogs for 20 years. I have had 3 smaller dogs in the past (14-25 pounds). 2 were pug/beagle mixes and 1 was a Boston terrier/beagle mix. I currently have a bigger dog (83 pounds) who is a German Shepard/Australian Shepard/Rottweiler mix. I also had a cat growing up for 8 years. I love to spend time with animals going on walks, playing with them and making sure they are well taken care of. I have experience with puppies, adolescent and senior dogs. I can’t wait to meet your pet and be there to help whenever you need! I’m currently a stay at home mom and am at home most days. I have 2 school aged children and I have flexibility and availability in my daily schedule. I am open to helping out with any and all needs for your pet. I can come to your home and care for your pet based on what you specify your pet needs and your preference's. I am willing to do dog walking, playing with dogs or cats, and the general needs such as feeding and ensuring they have clean, fresh water. I will take care of your pet with the same love I show my own pet.
“Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She helped us out incredibly last minute and took amazing care of our pup while we were out for the day longer than expected. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats solely since I was 11 years old. We got both my cat and dog when they were just babies, and I cared for them into their senior years as well. I administered pills for both, and general young, teen, adult, and senior care. I also grew up watching both cats and dogs for friends and family! Your pet will be in great care of someone who treats them like family 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the week, so I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine! I'm available for walks and drop in visits on both weekdays and weekends. While I'm not available for overnight stays or weekend house sitting, I'd be happy to stop by throughout the day to make sure your pets get plenty of care, attention, and company while you're away. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for while you're away! To keep my own cats comfortable and stress free, I provide care in my clients' home rather than bringing pets into my apartment. With that said, I treat your home with the same respect as my own, and I'll always follow your instructions and your pets usual routine. I'm also happy to provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Depending on needs, I'm happy to take dogs for walks, let them outside, give them food and fresh water, clean up after them, play and give them company and attention. For cats, I can take care of feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, and cuddles... or personal space if that's what they prefer 🐾
“Jen and Michele are awesome! Molly Moo and Edgar Allan Poodle love to walk or have a drop-in visit with the gals. They take adorable pictures of the adventures. I am so lucky to have them for the poodles. (2 years)”
“Amber has been great! She worked with me and pup to get him comfortable with her before she took him on any walks! My guy has never had a dog walker and is stranger reactive, but loves Amber! His favorite part of the day is his walk with her!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and have experience with all kinds of personalities and ages, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with extra care routines. Friends and family always count on me first for pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience caring for cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, puppy care, and senior pets who need extra attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or a client’s home, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.
“Julie has been amazing with my dog, Cooper. She’s been doing his mid-day walks and has been incredibly reliable and flexible, which I’ve really appreciated. She’s been easy to communicate with and very accommodating with my schedule. Honestly, I’d keep working with her without hesitation if I weren’t moving. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their dog.”
About: I’ve had multiple pets since I was young and always had a great love for all animals. I have had my dog since I was 6 years old and been taking care of her since then. Neighbors and family members have always trusted me taking care of their cats, dogs, bunnies, and birds and I love meeting and forming a connection with them all! I also have experience with senior and special needs as my dog had some behavioral issues in the last few years of her life and she has taught me a lot about having compassion for everyone. 🩷 My school year is over so I am currently home for the summer and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I also am available on breaks as well and would love to walk your dog during those times! I am majoring in animal studies with a minor in environmental studies in college and have a very strong love and passion for all animals. I have a big fenced yard for your dog to run around and play in! My both love all types of pets and are super welcoming.
About: I have always pet-sat or stopped over at friends and families houses to be with their pets when they can’t. I also had 2 dogs of my own which has provided me with experience with both large and small dogs. Trying to help others now! I am a full-time registered nurse which means I work 3-4 12 hour shifts a week. Looking to hangout with pets on my off days! I have been a sitter for both children and animals for years, I definitely understand the respect and trust required between sitter and owner/family member.
About: I have raised my own dogs (rescues) as well as cared for family and friends dogs (in home and other) for many years. I have had experience with small anxious dogs as well as territorial, and of course big and friendly! I work full time just 10 minutes from my home. I have managed to care for many different pets (aquatic, rodents, cats, dogs) while working this same job without issue. I always do my best to make the babies feel comfortable either in my home or others. No difference in how I love or care
“Melanie has been absolutely the best with our dogs. She is available, communicates with any change of schedule, and spoils our dogs like her own. We have been so lucky to have her over the past few years!”
About: Hi! My name is Douglas, Doug for short. Currently a proud papa to a golden lab named Sunny, and a grey longhair cat named Remy. My best friend is a pug/chihuahua mix named Taz. I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog. Cliche to say but I am better with animals than with people. I am responsible, gentle, caring, and a big rule follower. I have pretty open availability throughout the week so I have lots of time to hang out with your dogs! Let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work! I have experience with crate training my dog so I am comfortable playing with your dog in the house or yard, and switching them to their crate if needed.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up with cats and have continued to have cats throughout my life, and I’ve also had dogs as an adult. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends, family, and people from my church, including both dogs and cats. I’ve done drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and general companionship, and I’ve also welcomed dogs into my own home for stays. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick drop-in, a meal and some company, or just someone to make sure they’re okay while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! 🐾 I work during the day Monday through Friday, but I have some flexibility around lunchtime for drop-in visits. I’m also available for evening visits and walks after work, as well as weekends. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine! 🐾 I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and keep their normal routine while their family is away. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kensington
We had our German Shepherd Roofus, walked for the first time today, and it went wonderfully! Roofus can be a strong, energetic dog, but Kelly handled him with confidence from the start. She took the time to get to know him, made sure he felt comfortable, and returned with a happy, relaxed pup. We could tell Roofus enjoyed his walk — tail wagging, tongue out, and all smiles. We’re so glad to have found someone so reliable and caring. Highly recommend Kelly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kensington on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,568 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kensington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kensington.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kensington. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
