About: I’ve taken care of dogs a few years ago. However, I love animals and would be a great pet sitter. I’ve worked at a doggy spa cleaning after dogs and sitting them. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced yard. However, I will keep the pet inside or in the yard of course always keeping an eye on them. Making sure they don’t cross over to neighbors yard. Due to COVID, I have been working from home. Unfortunately I would have to go back to the office. However I’m available for boarding on the weekends and on some holidays. I just ask pet owners to shoot me a text and I can confirm if available. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced yard. However, I will keep the pet inside or in the yard of course always keeping an eye on them. Making sure they don’t cross over to neighbors yard.
“We absolutely adore Julie. She took her time and not only had no problem with our cat's semi complicated meal routine, but she sat with our very needy cat and gave her undivided attention while we were away. We will absolutely be contacting Julie anytime we are going to be away and need our pets to be taken care of.”
“Sherry is wonderful. She has a lot of patience and gave our two cats the time and space they needed to adjust to her taking care of them while we were at our wedding. We did not worry at all about them while we were away.”
About: Hi! I love dogs and treat them as if they were my children. I grew up with dogs in the household. From having a husky, shih-tzu, and now 2 havanese! I have 17 years of experience and I dogsit my family's pets frequently. I work mostly from home allowing me to have as flexible schedule. I take out my own dogs multiple times throughout the day for potty. I can do daily walks as I try to take my own out as much as possible. I have two friendly dogs- one is very playful and loves meeting other furbabies. I live in a townhouse where there's space to take out the dogs in the yard. Your dog will be in great hands! I work mostly from home, so I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to walk the dogs throughout the day and keep an eye on them. I have two friendly dogs, one loves to play! I can crate if desired. I also have 2 levels in my home where I can separate them if needed.

“Julia took great care of our two cats while we were away. She checked on them each day, kept their bowls filled and their litter boxes clean, and played with them. We looked forward to hearing from her each visit. And she braved an historic snowstorm to do so! Thank you for going above and beyond, Julia! We look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Elizabeth watched our four cats over the holidays and was a great sitter! From the beginning she was super communicative and worked with our schedule. She was great with them from our needy lap cat to our scaredy cat who hid all the time. It was a great relief to know we had a reliable sitter for when we were out of the country to check in on our cats. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her as a sitter again.”
“Jade was wonderful with morning check-ins for our cat and giving her medication during a 10 day trip! She was incredibly thorough and sent tons of pictures and great updates. She even went above and behind to treat a stain on our couch after said cat decided to leave a hairball on it. Couldn’t have asked for more!!”

Kensington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex was amazing. She always let us know how the kitties were doing, sent us pictures and let us know if she was going to be early or late. She has a tough assignment with 4 cats, all having to be fed seperately and 2 on medicine. She played with the ones willing to come out of hiding and she patiently worked on the scardey cats. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry. We will definitely have her come back again!
Melanie was great with Bluey. She was thorough with her communication and helped us feel at ease while being away. And best of all Bluey loved her and was calm and relaxed when we hot home!! I would definitely recommend Melanie and I will be sure to use her services for future needs!
