“Christina went above and beyond my expectations to take care of our fur babies. They were safe and happy the whole time we were on vacation. I appreciated her great communication and I will definitely book with her again in future if we need a sitter.”

“Kailyn was great! She kept me updated throughout her stay & sent tons of pics! The furry girls (a rambunctious 2 year old and a cranky 16 year old) were well taken care of. We will definitely be having her come back!”
“I will be rebooking with Mary for our dogs! She was prompt and reliable and quick to communicate. She also went above and beyond when my dog needed a scheduled vet appointment that was needed weeks after we made the booking. I am so grateful that she could accommodate my dog's need and was willing to be her escort to the doctor. Thank you so much! Sophie and Penny will see you soon!”

“Genesis was excellent! Great communication, kept us updated, and took great care of our pets. Our home was clean and well-maintained when we returned. Highly recommend!”

“Jolene is amazing! I booked her to watch my dogs while I was away for a weekend. Not even a week later I had to go out of town on an emergency and needed her to watch my dogs ASAP. She happily accepted and took great care of my boys. She was easy to work with and i will book her again in the future!”
“Brandt was amazing!!! He took such great care of our animals while we were gone for almost 3 weeks and was head and shoulders above basic care. He provided multiple updates, communicated any issues immediately, conducted himself as a consummate professional at all times and was a thoughtful & considerate house guest. He made sure our pets were treated like the family members that they are, treats flowed in abundance and walks were numerous. Thank you so much, this enabled us to keep them in the comfort of our home and that peace of mind was everything!!”

“Kyara was a wonderful sitter to my 3 dogs. She stayed in our home for the days we were gone and left it in perfect condition. She sent updates each day about how they were doing. She was able to care for my senior dog who needed medication. Thank you for watching over our dogs!”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my baby over the past few days. She was super communicative the entire time I was away, and FaceTimed me many times so that I could check in to see what my pup was up to! I don’t think he even realized I was away because he was having so much fun with Shannon the entire time. I will definitely request Shannon the time I have to leave town for any length of time. I cannot thank her enough!”


About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and my genuine love for them. I grew up pet sitting and have experience caring for multiple pets at once, pets of all sizes and ages, administering medications, and caring for dogs in heat. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, or simply curl up for extra cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and affection they deserve. As a dental hygiene student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide lots of attention throughout the day. On class days, I am often able to stop by between classes for potty breaks, walks, or check-ins if needed. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and treat both the pets and their home with the utmost respect / care. My goal is to ensure pets feel loved and secure while their owners are away.
“Hannah was excellent with our dog, Foxy! We loved the regular updates that she’d send, and she was super quick to communicate with us. It was our first time using Rover and she made the process so easy. She got along with our dog instantly and we were so relieved to know Foxy was in safe hands while we were away.”

About: My family was against the idea of animals in the house. Instead I was the neighborhood animal caregiver! I still would like to thank my neighbors for trusting me with their animals. Thanks to them I have a love for animals that are out of this world! The way they can tell you boundaries and what they want without any words is amazing. And it is our job as humans to read the body language. Since I have 2 cats at home, I would want the people caring for my animals to treat them well and with respect. So I shall do the same for your fur babies! I currently work at a restaurant downtown and I will be starting school again in the Spring! But I am available most days of the week! Please look at my availability and message me if you have any questions and I would love to work something out with you! I live in an apartment but we do have a small dog park! I would prefer to take care of your fur babies at your residence but I could also (if you would like) take them to a dog park, trail, or something like that! I know dogs love a change in scenery and love to sniff things along the way! Please let me know what YOU as their owner feels comfortable with!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my family for about a year now, and I’ve been wanting to walk dogs for a while now, and I believe I’m the best choice for your needs. I am currently on summer break, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with you animals! I am available any day of the week from 7am-9PM. I live in a house with a fenced in yard that my cat loves to play in. He loves to go on rides weekly. I also clean out his litter box daily.
“Gwen is the best! Our dogs love her. They are so joyful when she is with them. Gwen has dog sat for us twice and both times we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our fur-babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Gwen. ❤️”

“Ridge was great with communication from the beginning. He took great care of our dog and was very attentive to anything that was needed. I would definitely love to have him stay with our Beau in the future.”

“Perla watched our 2 dogs Chase and Luke at our home for 8 days. We had never left our dogs for that long, but I never once worried because she was on top of things. She was great with giving me updates, asking any questions and sending me pictures. My one dog Chase had peed once in the house and she cleaned up as needed. She also took good care of my Chase’s condition. I would highly recommend Perla to anyone!”

“Hannah was a wonderful sitter for our dogs and our home! This was our first time using Rover & she made us feel very confident in leaving our dogs & home for the weekend. Our girls were very well taken care of & will definitely use Hannah in the future!”

Kensington pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is our second time having Sarah stay at our home with Beau. She takes great care of him and I feel good knowing he’s with her. He got great exercise that he needs and was happy and well-cared for when we got home. We Will be using her whenever we go out of town.

This is my second time booking with Emily. She watched my new rescue dog Winnie and re-watched my other dog Luke. Emily is very caring with my dogs and I knew they would be in great hands. She is respectful of my home and actively gives me updates about the stay. I would recommend Emily to anyone who wants their pets to feel like they are with their own family. Thank you Emily!

We just returned home today from a week at the beach and we were so lucky to have Madeline dog and house sit while we were away! She sent us daily updates (or what I like to call “pupdates”) and took such great care of our girl and our home. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future sitting services!
