“Natalia and Edward were wonderful with my dog, Olly! From the start, they were kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Olly in their care. Throughout the week, they sent me regular updates and lots of cute pictures, which I really appreciated, it was so nice to see how happy he looked. They clearly took great care of him and made sure he got plenty of attention and love. When I picked him up, he was calm, content, and clearly had a great time. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Natalia and Edward to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!”
“Diana and her family were amazing! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter from Rover and couldn’t have asked for a sweeter experience. She sent several updates with lots of photos of our puppy playing with her kids, on walks, and even learning new tricks. So adorable… and comforting! Will definitely book with Diana again!”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“We could not have asked for a better family to take care of Camden! They were so communicative and sent photos and videos multiple times a day. Camden got a ton of outside time and loved being with their dogs. Highly recommend and definitely will use again!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! It was clear that Ori was in caring, capable hands. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Melissa professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for dogs really shine through. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, I highly recommend Melissa. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Great stay for our dogs! Chris went above and beyond to care for our dogs. He was responsive and flexible. We are looking forward to many more bookings with him. Thank you, Christopher!”
“Alex and Daniel were absolutely incredible dog sitters. They were communicative, sending frequent photos and updates, and took extremely thoughtful and loving care of my dog, Pip. They really went above and beyond, brushing him, taking him on lots of walks, and clearly provided him with a warm, kind, and comfy home. We are so grateful to them for taking such good care of Pip, and can’t wait to book with them again for our next trip.”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the moment we met her, we felt like our pups were in good hands. She sent us lots of pictures and updates which we loved! It was clear they were not only well cared for, but also happy and loved. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention made such a difference for us. We’re so grateful we found Cindy and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Adva was a great host. She accepted my last minute request and provided me constant updates throughout the stay. I'm convinced that staying with Adva and her family was like a vacation for my pup. I very highly recommend her as a host and I would definitely book with her again. ”

“Masha and her family took great care of Nala. This was our second time booking with them, and the care provided was outstanding again. Masha made sure Nala took her medication every morning (which was new this year) and kept us updated during her stay. Thank you!!”
“Kyle was such a wonderful sitter for my pup over the long weekend! Ringo was well taken care of, socializing with his dogs, and I received daily updates and pictures. It was a wonderful, calm environment.”
“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Shanilka was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time ever leaving Toby with a sitter, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Right before I dropped him off, Toby got into a chicken bone (of course), but Shanilka wasn't fazed. She was calm and happy to keep an extra eye on him, which was such a relief. She sent plenty of photos and videos while I was away so I always knew how he was doing. It was so clear Toby got tons of love and had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be booking with Shanilka again. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Third time for Daisy and Charlie to stay with Andy - and when I dropped them off, they ran to go get a walk! Great care and communication with Andy. I'm so glad that my dogs are safe and busy during trips. Thank you, Andy!”
“When a last-minute work trip arose, they graciously accommodated my dog, providing a safe and loving environment. Their dedication to pet care is evident in their attention to detail and genuine affection for animals. I highly recommend Chad and Regina to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate dog-sitting services.”
“Nadia was a pleasure to work with, prompt responses, professional and courteous, sent pictures of our dog every day, we will definitely book with Nadia in the future!”

Our mini golden doodle stayed with Kyle for 9 nights. He was very good at communicating with us, sharing photos and videos and keeping us updated on how she was doing. He gave her her medication and calmed her during the thunderstorms. Lily seemed to really enjoy playing with the other dogs who were being boarded. We will definitely use Kyle again.
I have boarded my dog with Galen multiple times over the past 2 years. Galen is incredibly loving and gentle with my timid dog Maggie and I have noticed Maggie really coming out of her shell since staying with Galen. I take comfort that my dog is living her best life with Galen while I’m away and I cannot recommend Galen enough. 100/10. ❤️ P.S. Galen takes fantastic doggo pics too!
Daniela and Sergio were amazing with Jameson! They asked all the right questions and cared for him lovingly. He is an easy dog, but does have some senior needs. They went above and beyond to care for him. Daniela sent daily updates, which we really looked forward to and enjoyed. I could tell James enjoyed his time as well. Everything from the meet and greet to the stay was amazing. We would trust them with our guy at any time, no hesitation!
Milad took amazing care of our 6 year old golden doodle Yoshi Bear. Yoshi gets anxious sometimes but we found him to be relaxed and happy when we picked him up. Milad seems to genuinely care about the dogs in his care. He was willing to take us into his home to see where Yoshi would stay and sleep. He regularly kept us updated with pictures and texts. We highly recommend Milad as a pet sitter.
My Raven clearly enjoyed her stay with Inga and her family (and dogs!). Daily photos showed lots of play and relaxed contentment. House and yard are made for dogs! I also appreciate Inga's flexibility with scheduling our meet-and-greet and with the timing of drop off and pick up. Will book with her again!
Anastasiia was great with Kody!!! He warmed up to her so quickly, which means a lot because Kody doesn’t love everyone and comes with an instruction manual 😂 Anastasiia followed my detailed instructions and sent me a ton of updates to bring me peace of mind. I will definitely request to have him stay with her again.
Stephanie is amazing. She truly cares for our dogs as if they were her own. Stephanie sends multiple updates daily and it is very clear our dogs are comfortable in her house and right at home. The dogs have stayed with her twice and both times we were able to fully enjoy our trips because we knew the dogs were in excellent hands. Thanks Stephanie!
We couldn’t be happier with Mileyde! She took absolutely wonderful care of our dog while boarding her in her home and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent frequent updates and plenty of pictures throughout the week, so we always knew our pup was happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. What really meant a lot to us was that Mileyde was willing to take her for an entire week on very short notice. She was incredibly accommodating, dependable, and communicative from start to finish. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made her feel right at home. We came back to a very happy and well-cared-for pup, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re extremely grateful to Mileyde and would absolutely trust her with our dog again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive sitter on Rover!
Sydney was so great! We left our dog, Bruno, in her care for 11 nights and she was so great with communication and occasional photos. We felt very comfortable the entire time and knew he was in good hands. He came home happy! Would definitely recommend and hoping Bruno can visit again when we need to go out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kensington on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,938 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Kensington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Kensington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kensington home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 MD 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.
