About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years from pekingeses to Great Danes! I have experience taking care of seniors and puppies as young as 6 weeks old regarding dietary restrictions, toy restrictions and exercise limitations. I’ve also worked with hard of hearing and blind dogs as well! There’s not a dog I won’t love to be around! I work full time, so helping with your fur babies will be a fun thing to help anyone with! There’s not a better way to pass the time! I am available pretty much every weekend, so take your time with date nights! During the week, I do a hybrid full time role and have my calendar up to date with all availability. I believe a leash is the safest way to prevent any accidents from happening! Your dog/cat will never be put in any situation that makes myself or them nervous. I believe they should always feel comfortable and SAFE!
“I cannot say enough good things about Amanda! Rocco and Matteo love her and looked forward to her visits throughout the day! She was very attentive to their needs, checked in on time and stayed longer when she felt they needed her too. She made this anxious dog mama feel so much better that she was there for them and I could enjoy my trip. I will not hesitate to call on her again for any vacation or out of town trips. Thank you so much Amanda! You are so appreciated!”
“Caitlin took excellent care of our cats and dog while we were away and kept us updated the whole time! She gave some extra love to our anxious kitty and made some adjustments to make sure she was eating enough, too. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for over 20 years, beginning with my first dog, Star, a beautiful German Shepherd mix who sparked my lifelong appreciation for dogs. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and have hands-on experience caring for large breeds, senior dogs, and households with multiple pets. With my background in Exercise Science, physical education, and athletic coaching, I understand the importance of movement, physical activity, patience, and individualized attention. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a potty break, companionship, or attentive care while you’re away, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I take pride in being dependable, communicating clearly, and treating every pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I offer flexible scheduling for dog walking, drop-in visits, and recurring pet care throughout Grovetown and surrounding communities. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and select evening appointments. I especially welcome clients looking for consistent weekly walks or regular visits. Advance booking is appreciated so I can reserve your preferred times, but feel free to reach out about short-notice availability as well! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. With over 20 years of personal experience caring for dogs and hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I understand that every pet has unique needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their environment, follow established routines, and carefully follow their owner’s instructions. I pay close attention to leash safety, secure entrances, behavior, and surroundings during every visit. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to clear communication. I can provide updates and photos so you know your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away. My goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners through consistent, trustworthy service.
“Hannah did a great job taking care of my kitties!! She even went above and beyond and swept around the litter box and brought in packages for us! She sent me pictures and kept me updated on them as well.”
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 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
“Carrie is a very attentive sitter! She took time beyond just the basics to make sure that my cats got playtime and affection, even though it took time to coax them out of their shy habits! Absolutely will have her back!”
About: I have been dog sitting for about a year now and i have many dogs of my own which includes 7 dogs at my home Pet care is my full time job so it very much fits into my daily and weekly schedule because it’s something i’m always doing consistently. I take care of other peoples pet like how i take care of mine and how i would want other people to take care of my own
About: I absolutely love playing and taking care of animals. I grew up around animals since I was born. Any job required will get done and you will be more than satisfied with my services. I can help potty train, help with tricks, bathe the animal (if you want), & keep them happy during my visit with them or their visit with me in my home. I absolutely don’t like animal abuse so I will not hurt your love one or hit them for their mistake. I simply take care of the issue (ex: using bathroom in the house) by knowing to take them out every so often. I’m very nice and will take care and love on your pet(s) as if they were my own! Overall, please book me early in advance as my schedule can fill up. I also take care of your home as it’s my own and can help with watering plants, making sure trash goes out, getting the mail everyday and I will clean up my area when I stay at your house. I want to make you feel better when you turn home and have to do as little work as possible. I’m currently a college student onto becoming a nurse. I have plenty of time on my hand to accommodate your needs for your sweet pets I currently have a fenced in yard and have two smaller pups. One is more a senior so she’s constantly in bed but the other one has full energy and loves to be friendly with another pups to play with.
“Nicole was amazing! She provided great updates throughout her visits. She went above and beyond with her care and attention to detail. Looking forward to booking with Nicole in the future.”
“Nicole has watched our critters several times now, and each time she continues to impress us. Our babies love her, and it's clear that she loves them too. She's flexible and professional. I highly recommend Nicole!”
“Autumn was absolutely wonderful with my dogs and they lived her! She even sent pictures updates while she was there. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and I'm excited about using here in the future!”
About: I have two dogs of my own. I had dogs when I was younger as well. I’ve had my dogs since they were 12 weeks old. I am currently in school for my masters degree so I am always here with my family and ready to assist with yours as well. My dogs are considered my family. We provide eachother with love and emotional support. Also, providing a safe environment is just as important to me with a fenced yard and the attention that my dogs deserve. Thank you in advance for considering me!

Very communicative and made my elderly dog feel safe! Looking at the photos from every day, the face went from a side eye to a big smile. I can tell that she was wondering who holly was at first and why she’s there to gradually becoming more comfortable with her being in our home/taking care of her needs.
Evan is a great sitter! He did some drop-in visits for my retired working dog and cat over the weekend. My dog, Drago, immediately liked him. Evan was always on time and made sure both pets got their food and proper meds and then spent time playing with Drago too! I’ll be asking Evan back again for sure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kensington is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 November 2026, there are 498 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kensington. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
