“Elizabeth is fantastic! This is the second time she has sat for us, this time with both of our Berners. She sent us pics and updates several times per day and took great care of our boys. I can’t imagine ever booking with someone else. Thanks again for taking such wonderful care of them ❤️”
“Oakley had a blast!! We could tell you just take such good care of Oaks like he was one of your own. We could not appreciate it any more, and was the best stay for him! We will be coming back with Oakley 1000%! We were updated with pictures all the time of our boy and could tell he was extremely happy! Thanks so much again, Oakley will be back soon!!”
“Thank you Rover for providing a platform for pet owners new and old to find such amazing people to take care of our fur babies. Nicole is such an amazing pet sitter. She took such great and loving care of my Loki. He’s never seemed happier. I would recommend Nicole to anyone and everyone with a pet that they love and want to be in the best of care. THANK YOU NICOLE.”
“Lindy had such a great time with Laurie's family, both human and canine. She had so many friends to play with and got even better exercise than she normally does at home - she's looking forward to seeing them all again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kristen who watched out dog for 10 days. He got lots of love and went for walks and hikes. We appreciated all of the photos and updates! We know he will look forward to returning to his home away from home!”
“Davon was amazing. Constant communication and updates with photos showed Frankie had an amazing time. He was extremely comfortable and enjoyed every second of it. Would definitely book again in the near future. 10 out of 10 experience.”
“This is our first experience with Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Karina! She is incredibly responsive and organized. She was very careful and patient to introduce our Augie to her pup and home slowly so everyone was happy. We love her secure, fenced outdoor yard space as well as open area for leashed walks near her home. She sent fun updates and photos every day and has been very easy to communicate with. Thank you, Karina and see you soon for Augie's third stay!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience, Michelle and her family treated our dogs as family. I had such ease of mind and could truly enjoy my time away from the babies.”
“Karen took tremendous care of my pup over the course of a long weekend. She has a special way with dogs and my dog clearly enjoyed his time with her. Would use both Rover.com and Karen again without hesitation.”
About: I’m new to this app, I had dogs my whole entire life. I’m very passionate with dogs. I currently have a 9year old chocolate Labrador that has been trained by me and has been certified as support dog. She’s more than a pet, she’s my baby and will cherish your babies as I do with mine. Recently got a German shepherd and she’s 3 months old now. She already learned some comands. I like to be active and your dogs will also have the best for their lives. I’m currently working full time from 6-3:00 Monday to Thursday. If my services is needed could be after 3:00 those days and free on Fridays and weekends. I have fenced yard and a playful chocolate Labrador. Always willing to teach pups and play with them. Also own a SUV that I can take them for ride/ hike.
“We cannot think Julius and family enough for watching our two dogs over the holidays! It is always challenging for us to leave them behind, but Julius and family took great care of them. They were happy, and well-cared for. Looking forward to booking them again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for 10 years and in that time one of my dogs developed IVDD and became paralyzed overnight. For the past 2 years I have learned how to care for a special needs dog, including bladder/bowel expression, wound care, medication (oral, syringe, and shots). I have found an extreme lack in boarding support for dogs with special needs and I want to use the knowledge and dedicated care for special needs dogs I have to help others and give a safe space for those who need that extra love and care. I currently work part time as a behavior technician for kids with autism (3 hours a day, Monday-Friday) so I am home most of the day. While I’m at work, my husband comes home not long after so the dogs are not alone for very long. My husband has the same abilities for caring for a special needs dog, but I will be the main caregiver. We can board 1 dog at a time all days of the week. As we are only taking special needs dogs, we want to keep it one dog at a time to limit stress and give the most attention to our guest. We do have 2 dogs (11 year old Theo, a chihuahua/papillon mix 10lbs, and 7 year old special needs Mina, a pitbull/boxer/miniature poodle mix 25lbs) that enjoy being around other dogs. We have 2 crates dedicated to our dogs, as well as two travel crates we make comfortable with pillows and blankets. There are floor dog beds in the living room and bedroom and plenty of blankets to dig in and nest. The dogs have free range of the apartment aside from a storage room. The living space is kept clear of items that the dogs can get into to prevent unsafe interactions. While there is no yard, we have lots of paths for walks and a small fenced in dog park only available to tenants. While we have our apartment fitted to our dogs, we are happy to make any adjustments that means creating the most safe and comfortable experience for your fur baby.
“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“Our PWD, Ginger, was very happy staying with Monique! This was our first time leaving Ginger with a sitter and Monique was very understating and reassuring. She was great with sending us daily photos of our furbaby every day which helped to ease our nerves!”
“Hailey was wonderful and a dog loving person. She updated me with pictures and took care of Tucker’s medication needs. She will be my first choice when in the area again. She has a lovely home and yard.”
“We’re SO happy we found Ashley! We needed someone last minute to watch our Yorkie, Maverick, while we were on vacation, and man, we really lucked out. From the start, she made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her and sent us tons of pictures and updates while we were away. Each one melting our hearts more than the last. She took such amazing care of Maverick and really made him part of the family. Her son and Maverick became the best little buddies, which was honestly so sweet to see. It made us so happy knowing he was having fun, getting lots of love, and feeling right at home while we were gone. We came home to a VERY happy pup, and we couldn’t be more thankful. We will absolutely have Ashley watch Maverick next time and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of their fur babies! ❤️🐾”
About: I love pets, they are the cutest addition to our lives. I have a dog of my own, she is 2 1/2 years old, very playful and friendly. I have had pets since childhood and love taking care of them, we have a house and a fenced yard, hence your pup is safe to play outdoors whenever they want. They are allowed on furniture too. Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors. Will love to give them a safe place when they’re away from home 🏡

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 of Pet Boarding in Kensington is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $63 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.
There are 928 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kensington. About 90% of Kensington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
