“Brooke was amazing with my Milo. He’s a bit shy and scary but he felt right at home with her. I felt way better leaving him for the first time knowing he was with a safe family. I will be using Brooke again. Thank you again 😊”
“I have never left my dog with someone I did not know, so I was apprehensive, however Rachelle put my heart at ease after chatting with her and learning how she really truly has a heart for dogs and taking care of them. She sent me updates daily and was always quick to respond if I communicated with her. She even checked on my dog after we picked him back up! I will definitely use her again!”
“Brandi was awesome! She kept me updated and was a very good communicator. She was very flexible and even kept him for an extra day! Our pup was so happy to stay with her family, and got lots of love. I’m very thankful I found her!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
“Ashley is phenomenal. I almost don’t want to tell you about her because I want to keep her to myself! 😂 she’s hardworking, communicative, has a lot of knowledge about dogs and dog behavior and extremely flexible and understanding!!!”
“I absolutely recommend Brianna's services! This is my second time and I'm extremely pleased with the care she has provided for our family dog. Will continue to use her services ❤️”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, including my own senior toy poodle as her needs changed with age. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to different routines, diets, and mobility needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m affectionate, dependable, and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time but my schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and will follow your care instructions and normal routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs your fur baby may have!
“Valerie is great! She took such good care of my pup and was so kind. Very easy to work with for both our schedules and was super accommodating! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Janai really cares about making sure the dogs are comfortable and enjoy their stay. She sends pictures to keep you updated. She is accommodating. She even went out her way to throw Queenie a birthday party!”
“London was very polite and my puppy warmed up to him immediately! This was my first time using a dog sitter but he responded quickly to my requests and sent pics. I recommend him!”
“Samantha was great! She really loves dogs and seems to dog sit for that reason. She will treat your pup like her own and give special attention when needed. Samantha sends lots of pictures (when you want them) and updates on how your pup is doing. I will definitely ask Samantha to watch my pup again.”
“Olivia kept our dog for a week. It was the longest he’s ever been away from home but she took great care of him and was really good about sending us pictures every day. He had lots of attention and other dogs to play with. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11. My family has always trusted me with their pets. Your pet will be in good hands. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and watch your pups. I’m always available on the weekday and weekends. Your dog becomes part of my routine, not just a guest. I keep their normal feeding schedule, walks, and sleep schedule as close as possible to what they do at home so they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve been a professional dog trainer for the last 5 years. I spent my childhood training horses and showing horses and dogs. I’m very comfortable with any breed and size dog! I work from home and can make my own schedule which allows me to be very flexible with my availability to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and ruffland crates to keep your dogs safe! I have 2 very friendly female German shepherds for you pup to play with!
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kensington
Heather was so great with communication and the care for my dog. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing and interacting with others. Heather sent me quite a few pictures as well. I felt comfortable about her care the entire time I was gone and never worried about my dog. She went above and beyond by agreeing to pick my dog up as I accidentally schedule the incorrect drop off time. I’ll be recommending Heather to everyone who needs a sitter.
Larissa is so good to my husky! She is super flexible and works with my busy schedule. She makes smoky feel at home! He loves playing with her dog and going on trail walks! He always acts excited to be there! He howls when we pull up to her neighborhood! She is great about giving his medications! 10/10 will continue to use her for my pet care needs!
Alexis did a great job with our senior dog keeping her for 2 weeks. She sent messages and pictures so we always felt connected and at ease. All special instructions were followed to a T and our girl even had a fresh bath before coming home. Highly recommend Alexis and would book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kensington home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kensington.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Kensington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
