“Rebecca was amazing! My dogs took right to her. She was very savvy and knowledgeable and able to handle my boys so well. I am so thankful that in a time I needed to be gone, I didn't have to worry about my dogs.”
About: Hi! I’m a loving and responsible pet owner who understands how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. ❤️ I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets while they’ve been away on vacation, and I always make sure to follow their instructions carefully. Whether it’s taking their dog for a walk at a specific time, giving medication, following feeding schedules, or making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I also have experience with cat drop-ins. I’m happy to visit multiple times a day to feed them, refresh their water, give them attention and playtime, and clean up any messes they may have made. I have an Aussiedoodle of my own who I’ve had for almost three years, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I know how much peace of mind it can bring to receive updates and know that your pet is happy and being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐶🐱💕 As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am generally available for drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they need. For house sitting, I’m flexible and can discuss arrangements based on your preferences and your pet’s needs. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if I have any scheduling or availability concerns so we can make sure everything works well for you and your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they are in caring and responsible hands. I have a fully fenced backyard, which provides a safe space for dogs to get some fresh air, play, and enjoy outdoor time while being supervised. I’ll always follow your preferences and your pet’s usual routine when it comes to outdoor time. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs or routines your pet may have. I’ll also keep you updated during visits or stays so you know how your pet is doing. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home and belongings with the same respect I would want for my own.
About: I have fostered, nurtured, rehabbed, and found appropriate and long term homes for many animals throughout my life. Many of the dogs and cats I’ve found abandoned/ or in danger of being euthanized have gone to long term homes with people who I am still in touch with. I have also rescued and nurtured native wildlife and found numerous programs to move them back into the wild. I believe my compassionate approach and love for animals has led to care for animals in a way I find deeply fulfilling. I have gained so much experience with specialized medical care, patience, and a gentle approach that has, I hope, left a positive impact on all animals and people involved with them. These experiences have shaped me into a person whos been able to assist with many complex pets and handle unique needs. My goal is to create trusting bonds with your pet and provide thoughtful and respectful care to any animal I encounter. I work from home Monday through Friday and am afforded flexibility. Id love to add spending time with your pet to my schedule, and enjoy bonding with animals. I have two cats, one spent years in foster care and is very friendly. I also have extra space in my home to accomodate a pet that would not typically get along with the cats.
About: Hi there! I'm Reagan, your pet's new best friend! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m here to make sure your furry family member is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle buddy, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs and personality. Reliable, responsive, and genuinely passionate about animals — I treat every pet like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged friend! As a military spouse, I’m looking for a fun and meaningful way to fill my time while providing loving care to pets in my community. I’m available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer reliable walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I would love the opportunity to give them the attention, companionship, and love they deserve while you’re away! Unfortunately I am unable to do pet care in my own home at the moment due to apartment complex having pet policies to ensure residents and their pets a safe home.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I have years of experience walking dogs in my neighborhood. I’d love the chance to get to know and care for your dogs too! When I was younger I volunteered with the Humane Society and also spent time fostering both dogs and cats whenever I could. Doing that has taught me a lot about caring for animals of all ages, and personalities. Senior dogs especially have my heart. My own dog lived to be 18 years old, so I understand the extra care, patience, and attention older dogs sometimes need. I also have experience caring for blind and hard of hearing dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter if your pet is young and energetic or a sweet senior, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me! I currently just moved here, I’m available full time everyday to care for your pet at my home! They will get endless love and attention from me I have a fenced yard and two small dogs of my own, one is very playful! If your dog is used to walks I can also take them for walks in my neighborhood.I’ve also pet sat for several families back in my hometown and love caring for dogs. I have a small covered area where my dogs can go potty, helping keep them safe from hawks and coyotes. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Dogs are treated like family in my home. They’re welcome on the furniture and can sleep on the bed if that’s what they’re used to. Your pup will get lots of love, attention, and care while they’re with me!
“Grace was patient with our dogs and a lifesaver as we were out for an extended period of time each day. Thanks for the services and thanks for providing comfort in knowing the dogs were being cared for in our absence.”
About: I have taken care of multiple animals. I have experience in providing medication as well as dog walking. I’m excited to have the opportunity to love on your fur baby while you are away. I work, but my schedule is flexible enough to fit in regular feedings, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I can adjust visits around work hours, and I always make sure your pet stays on their routine with plenty of attention, clean litter, and love built in. I follow each pet’s routine closely meals on time, fresh water, clean litter boxes, walks or play as needed, and plenty of attention based on their comfort level. I’m patient with shy animals, gentle with seniors, and keep a calm, safe environment for everyone. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel secure, relaxed, and cared for the same way you would.
About: I recently received my Pet Sitter Certification from IAP Career College and have over ten years of experience working professionally with animals. From 2011 until 2013 I entered the pet services industry as a volunteer at the CSRA Humane Society. The Humane Society is the only non-profit no kill shelter in our community. While volunteering, I would visit and play with both the cat and dog residents. My duties at the Human Society consisted of giving tours of the facility, assisting with donations, walking and brushing the cats and dogs, and catching the staff up on washing food and water bowls. From 2013 until 2014, they hired me as a cat caretaker, in which left me in charge of taking care of almost 200 cats at any given time. I left the Humane Society to start pet sitting for friends and family members. I have experience in taking care of a variety of dog and cat breeds. I began doing home visits and drop-ins in 2015 and have since added overnight stays to my list of services. My pet customers love me and I care for them as I care for my own. I have made pet care a full-time job and will book only the number of pets I can see in one day in order to stay on schedule. I am also flexible so that I can meet the needs of my clients. I can be counted on to always be on time which I think is important to keep the pets I serve on their routine. Trust is important and I am very honest and trustworthy. Before working with a pet I like to learn what it is the owner would like for me to do if keeping the pet in his or her own home and the safety precautions I should be aware of. I am also very up front and honest and can be relied on to do the job the way it needs to be done. I also have no problem letting my client know if the ability to work with a pet with special needs or care is outside my scope of knowledge. I ask my clients to keep a list of emergency numbers (such as Veterinarian) when I am on an overnight pet sitting stay. When taking pets for a walk, I always keep a portable water bowl and bottled water with me to keep the pet hydrated while being active. I am not certified in CPR, but my goal is to be certified within the next 3 months.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs since I was about 13. They bring me such great joy and are always treated as a part of our family. My schedule is pretty flexible. If there are any special requests/circumstances please let me know prior to the visit and I will do my best to accommodate them. I have a fenced in yard with a lot of space for your baby to run around. I also have two fur babies of my own that can keep them occupied.

Once they’re done I will play with them enough to tire them out so they have a nice long nap before I return to visit them again :)
About: I have had dogs since 2013. I had three, I currently have two. One of them had epilepsy, this gave me experience with seizures and administering medicine. I also worked at a doggy day care for 1 year, there I cared for large groups of dogs. We fed them, changed out water 4-5 times a day, picked up after them and played with them. I'm knowledgeable about dog behavior and how to avoid situations that would be harmful. I know to test the pavement heat before a walk on hot days. If you need doggy day care please note that it will only be your pet(s) at your residence because mine is full. I'm currently seeking steady employment but am wanting to make this my steady job. I'm available during the week from six am to 5 pm I'm currently unable to pet sit in my home. I'm more than happy to pet sit in the dogs/cats home that makes the pets more comfortable as well since it's not a strange house with strange smells. I'm more than happy to drop in or stay for awhile. I enjoy taking walks and it's always good to have a friend (your pet) with me.

“Hannah is a true gem. She saved me last minute minute with such grace. So glad I found her. She is responsible, caring and our Tito instantly feel in love with her. He is usually shy but as soon as she visited us for the first time Tito was at the door to say hi:) I very highly recommend Hannah to care for you furbaby!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kensington
Heather was absolutely amazing! She had great communication from the very beginning and even scheduled a meet-and-greet beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was incredibly attentive and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Nami’s routine and how to take the best care of her while we were away. Throughout our trip, Heather sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She did everything we asked and truly went above and beyond. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nami and treated her like her own. We will definitely be booking with Heather again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Kensington is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $54 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.
As of October 2026, there are 442 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kensington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kensington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kensington. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
