We reached out to Mark after our sitter cancelled last minute before a trip. I can’t say enough great things about Mark and his family! They treated my dog like their own and I think my Ruger is missing all the fun he had there. Very flexible and sent plenty of pictures and updates. We will DEFINITELY be using them again!

Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.

Anita and her family sent photos and stayed with me on text letting me know how she was. She was very happy to help us and gentle with our husky who gets anxiety away from us! She is now the permanent person to care for our pup when we go away! Thank you Anita if I could give 10 Stars we would!❤️❤️❤️

Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!

Haoran was absolutely amazing! She took care of my pup for five days and was incredibly attentive and patient the whole time. I really appreciated how she took the time to observe and learn about my dog’s personality to help her feel more comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and my very active dog got tons of exercise — she even went on a two-hour hike that she absolutely loved! When my pup ran out of food, Haoran kindly provided her own without hesitation. My dog can be pretty anxious, but Haoran and her husband showed such patience and genuine care. I’m so grateful for her passion for animals and will definitely be booking with her 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 :)

Yajaira was amazing! I was so nervous about using the app let alone leaving my dog with someone other than family. This was my first time and everything went perfect. I did a meet and greet prior to the stay where I met with Yajaira and her small dog to see how the vibe was with everyone. She was sweet and her and my dog got along well. She sent daily pictures and updates which I was thankful for. She cared for my dog like family. I’m so happy I found someone close to home that I can trust. Thank you so much again.

James and family were wonderful with our dog, taking him in for a week while we went on a recent trip. His communication was thorough to assure us that things were going well, along with any questions about his care as needed. It was evident that our dog endeared himself to their family and had a great stay. We would definitely recommend James for any dog sitter needs and would rebook him as a dog sitter for future occasions

Leaving our puppy for the first time was making me and my daughter second guess taking a vacation. But then we met Agnes. Our pup went to her immediately and watching her interact with him we knew he would be in good hands. We were able to completely relax and she sent us periodic updates and pictures through the week. If you are in the least bit hesitant about hiring Agnes do not be. She is a wonder.

Estelle looked after our pug Henry for a weekend, and the entire time we were able to relax and feel confident that he was happy and in good hands. Her home is beautiful and set up really nicely for the dogs, with a large clean fenced-in yard to play in, and lots of toys and beds for them to occupy themselves. Her dogs are sweet and made Henry right at home. Estelle regularly sent photos and updates to let us know how he was doing. He was always treated like part of the family and I think for him it was just a fun weekend with friends. I will absolutely be boarding Henry with Estelle again and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

I was very nervous, its the first time I leave my dog with a sitter. I am very happy with Zoe's job. She took very good care of my girl. Definitely recommend her and will contact her again if needed.

Salvo clearly enjoyed his time with Stephanie. She kept me plenty updated with photos throughout the time she watched him. She was very attentive to his needs beyond just eating and sleeping. She made sure he got outside, got to play and interacted well with her pets. I will definitely be trusting Stephanie next time we need someone to watch our dog.

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.

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Kensington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Kensington on Rover is $47.78 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 956 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kensington. About 91% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

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.
