“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!”
“From the meet and greet we had I knew she would take great care of Ethan while I was away. She was very responsive and so incredibly friendly and seemed to understand his body language. She is amazing and I am definitely going to book with her again!”
“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.”
“My dog has bad separation anxiety so it’s very hard for me to leave her with anyone, let alone someone new! Janelle was great! She sent me daily updates and pictures and made phoebe feel loved. Soon after I left her there, my worries went away. I will definitely leave her with Janelle again!”
“Douglas and his dog Sunny took great care of my dog Chance. He followed all my instructions and had excellent communication. He even sent some nice photos that had me reassured Chance was doing okay. When I picked Chance up he was content, tired, and relaxed, all great signs.”

About: Your dog is more than a pet — they’re family. We provide a warm, loving, and secure environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.
“I highly recommend Klaudia. She did a great job with our dog, Macy. Klaudia has a kind family and two sweet dogs of her own. She sent several pictures, which I loved. I could tell our dog was comfortable and happy with Klaudia. I was worried Macy may not want to come home with us! We will definitely be coming back in the future.”
“I can't say enough great things about our experiences with Jennifer. I've left my dog Peachy with her 3 times now, this last time being over a week. I got so many picture and video updates throughout and I could see how comfortable and happy my Peachy was. Jennifer and her daughter are so wonderful with her and I am very grateful to have found them. The peace of mind I have now while I'm away that my dog is well cared for is worth so much. Also, Jennifer was highly communicative and very flexible when my schedule needed to change last minute. I won't leave Peachy with anyone else now!!”
“Our much loved girl was very well care for. Angela sent many pictures and updates which we loved while away. Our girl is a bit of a picky eater and Angeal went above and beyond to accommodate. We would book again.”
“Enzo had a great time! Christle is very quick at replying back whenever I wanted updates and had questions. Sent videos and pictures throughout his stay with her! I was very pleased and comfortable leaving my 5month old puppy in her hands!”
“Corby had a wonderful time with Andrea and her family! She was great with communication and I picked up a very happy dog at the end of my trip! Thank you for taking such good care of my boy!”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“My dogs had another great vacation at Elizabeth’s home. They are so well cared for during their stay. They received so much love and attention as well. I 100% recommend Elizabeth to care for your dogs during your vacation. You will be able to relax and enjoy on your vacation knowing they are in the best care. I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough. She is fantastic! Thanks Elizabeth!”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave our dog! From the very beginning, Careen were kind, reliable, and attentive to every detail. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. We could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Thank you for treating our pet like family — we highly recommend your dog care service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!”
“We are repeat customers of Michelle. Once again her and her family were wonderful with our 100 lb golden retriever Gus! She has a great fenced in backyard for him to play. She is very responsive and updates frequently while we are away! We highly recommend her!”

Aww Michelle was excellent with my Zoey. My chihuahua is a rescued dog and has separation anxiety but Michelle won her heart. I was very confident that Michelle had the skills to take care of my baby while we went on our cruise vacation for 8 days and she surpassed our expectations. Zoey warmed up to her quickly allowing her to get close and second morning already she was following her everywhere. Michelle is very nice , very loving to pets and has a very calm demeanor. I felt so much confidence with her just talking to her at the meet and greet that I was convinced right away that she was the right person to care for my Zoey. She was continuously updating me with photos, videos, text messages and voice messages about Zoey’s progress even starting from the moment I left her there. She also gave my baby her medications for allergy every day with no problem. Michelle is trained in all skills for this job. She took Zoey on walks continuously. I even thought my Zoey wouldn’t even recognize me when I returned because Michelle gave her so much love and attention and Zoey was always giving her kisses, it was so lovely to see on her videos. I recommend Michelle 1,000% to care for your dogs.
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 !

There are 933 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.
