“Giovanna was amazing!! Drako loved being visited by her, she was very communicative with us and made sure we got pictures and updates on a visit baisis! We felt so happy and comfortable that our dog was being taken care by her! Definitely would recommend her with anyone that needs his/her dog taking care of! We would definitely will be thinking of her if we need someone to take care of our dog! Thanks Giovanna!!”
“Teffni is wonderful! She took great care of my cats and I could tell in the many photos she sent that they were very comfortable and happy with her. She was also flexible with me adding extra days to the beginning and end of my booking.”
“Bianca really helped us out at the last minute with checking on our cat Brisa while we were gone for a few days. She was able to take up the info we left quickly and without any preceding intro visit. We really appreciate the attention she paid to Brisa and making sure to send great updates. We would hire her again without a second thought!”
“Julianna was great with Amber and very communicative! She updated me daily and made sure to give her lots of treats and playtime. This was my first time using Rover, and I'm so glad we worked with her!”
About: I’ve helped walk and play with dogs at a local dog shelter and also watch my friend’s dogs, including walking and sitting two dogs at a time. I work remote, Tuesday to Friday, and my job isn’t very busy so I have plenty of time on my hands to walk dogs anytime time during the weekdays. Weekends are also flexible too. When I care for dogs in my friend’s homes, they have fenced in backyards for them to run around in but I also walk them in the neighborhood and on trails.
“Khadija was WONDERFUL. This was the longest we'd ever left the kitties and we were worried about how they'd react. She was so good with them. We returned to happy, healthy, lovingly cared-for kitty-cats thanks to her.”
“Cindy is AMAZING! She took such amazing care of my boys, and I will continue to book with her when I go out of town. She is someone who you can trust and my cats warmed up to her very quick!”
“Ilana has now worked with us for almost a year, providing week day visits to our dog during lunchtime. I could not recommend Ilana more highly! She’s very responsive, dependable, and caring with our dog’s needs while we are at work. Thanks Ilana!”
About: I've been dog walking ever since 2020, starting with my sister's retriever mix, my neighbor's dogs of similar size (85 lbs), and a family friend’s corgi. I'm used to taking care of dogs with a lot of energy! I've been entrusted to take of care my sister's dog on my own for extended periods of time since then, spanning anywhere from a week to over two months. I am available mostly from 10 am - 4 pm on weekdays, barring any special circumstances. On weekends I am less flexible in the afternoons. I have a fenced in yard that is decently spacious with lots of slopes for dogs to run across. It's perfect for a game of fetch or just a case of the zoomies! While I do spend most of the day on my own, I can give enough attention to any dog that needs it because of my flexible schedule.
“Karen was wonderful with our dog and two rabbits. Our dog takes some time to warm up to new sitters, but Karen handled it graciously and she reported that our dog was good friends with her by her last visit. We really appreciated the photos from her visits and her frequent communication gave us peace of mind that everything was going well. We look forward to using Karen again the next time we are away.”
“Jason was awesome again! Even though I forgot to leave my key for him, he contacted me immediately and even offered to come back at a later time if I had another way for him to get in. Thank you for your kindness and I hope you can drop in again for Petunia soon.”
“Drew went to my home daily for almost 2 weeks and took exceptional care of my 4 dogs. He left very good notes and did everything asked of him. I would definitely use Drew again to care for my dogs.”
“Thank you Rebecca for another great sit with Winnie! Winnie is very finicky with her food and Rebecca made sure to spend extra time helping Winnie eat and let us know what her eating patterns were.”
“Aliyah was fantastic! She replaced a last minute cancellation and was so on top of everything clear and smooth. We were gone for our wedding weekend, and I was able to have 0 worried for my kitty cat while we’re gone knowing she was in Aliyah’s care <3”
“Mary went above and beyond for caring for my three cats. I had booked four visits for my cats. Unfortunately, there was a serious issue in my apartment building during that time. Residents and their pets needed to be evacuated. Mary ended up having to bring my cats to a boarding facility. She put them all in their crates, walked up and down eight flights of stairs in my building, put them in her car, drove them, and then admitted them to the chosen boarding facility. Through it all, Mary maintained constant communication and care regarding the well being of my cats. I would highly recommend Mary as a petsitter for your pets!! I don't know what I would have done without her help. Thank you, again, Mary!! 💗💗💗”

Rebecca is amazing!! I was in a pinch to find someone to care for our kitty and she responded immediately to my request and even fit in a meet and greet on short notice too! She was so thorough in her care and her write-ups about our cat! I wasn't anxious at all while we were away knowing he was in really good hands with her. Thank you so much, Rebecca!
Ilana is great! She took care of our senior cat Fifi while we were away for a week and a half. It was a bit of a last minute request and Ilana was very accommodating. We felt very comfortable going out of town knowing Fifi was in Ilana’s care. She kept us updated the entire time, giving us peace of mind so that we could enjoy our time away. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be reaching out again next time we need someone to drop in on Fifi.
I had a great experience with Melissa! She was on time, very careful, and clearly genuinely cared about my cat. She spent plenty of time playing with him and making sure he was comfortable and happy. I really appreciated how attentive and responsible she was, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her and will happily book with her again!
As always, Michael is a first class caregiver for our cats, and took care of both of them plus our plants while we were away with his usual superb abilities. He he was wonderful to our two cats while we were gone, and they clearly felt very comfortable with him. Every time he came to visit. We have no hesitation recommending him for anyone who wants a terrific pet caregiver!
We have had many sitters for our cats over the years through Rover that have been great. After our normal sitter moved, we booked Vidya for a two week trip for check ins with our cat and her level of professionalism, kindness to our cats, attention to detail and thoroughness is above and beyond even the best sitters we’ve ever had. Her updates were both endearing and hilarious. She made so many observations on how our cats were behaving and adjustments to her care. We also had an issue with the lock on our door and she went above and beyond to get it sorted. I would give her 10 stars if there was such a thing
Nicole was reliable and communicative with her drop-ins, and sent notes and pictures about how the cats were doing. She went above and beyond cleaning up barf when both cats decided to puke the same day. My cat really took to her and enjoyed sitting in her lap for pets. I am more at ease when I travel knowing that Nicole is caring for my babies.
Ashley was wonderful with Oliver. She took great care and attention to detail, ensuring all of his needs and favorites were incorporated into her visits. Further, during a fire alarm she safely “trucked” this senior, well-fed and highly vocal kitty outdoors until the all clear was given. Greatly appreciative of her loving and caring for my kitty while away
Another great sitting experience from Michaela! She watched after our cat for 10 days this time and never missed a beat. We got lots of updates, plenty of pictures and he was very happy when we got home. She overcommunicates which is also amazing. We will absolutely continue to use her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Kensington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,066 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kensington. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
