About: Looking for a reliable, adaptable friend to visit your dog midday? I've got you! And I'd love to meet your dog! My dog passed away in 2021 and I've been looking for opportunities to make some new furry friends ever since! I've played and walked and taken care of many dogs of many breeds and sizes at various levels of training. If you have specific training or behavioral goals for your dog, I will be sure to incorporate that into my visits. Currently, I work at my full-time job from 3:30am-noon and can be available as soon as 12:30pm or as soon as it takes me to travel to your pet's location. I am very flexible when it comes to the specifics in how you and your pet would like our visits to work! We could go for walks on a specific path, play to exercise and deplete built up energy, or simply run around in the fenced-in backyard for potty time.

He is a little afraid of very large dogs with tons of fur, which is why I require a meet and greet every time to ensure that they get along! :) I also do overnight stays in your home, as an option!

Why I love dog sitting I was about 2 years old when I lived with my grandfather and he had 2 dogs, Brendel and Brittany. Brittany was a Collie and Brendel was a lovable mutt. Years passed and a lil pup named Sebastian came to us in the middle of the night scratching on the door. My dad let him in and he has been with us ever since that. I consider him to be my very best friend and I will always love and adore him. My experience administering medication If the owner is fine with me giving medicine to them.

About: Hello! My name is Sylvia. I have several years of experience pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, although I’m open to all kinds of animals. Since my family does not currently have an animal to keep us company, I jump at every opportunity to walk, feed, and spend time with any pet. I am currently home for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play! I am also babysitting on the side, but my hours are very flexible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making sure the dogs feel safe and comfortable with plenty of attention and exercise while the owners are away. I understand every pet has unique habits and personality, so I try to stick to the routine they know.

“This is the second time Jason has walked Dizzy and he was incredible. My dog can be anxious and he is patient and caring, I'm a little worried Dizzy likes him more than me. I trust him in our home. He gives great updates. I am glad and grateful that Jason provides this service!”

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have extensive experience caring for them. I regularly walk, feed, and care for my own rescue dog, giving me hands-on experience with daily routines and different behavioral needs. I’ve also helped neighbors and family members care for their dogs, including walking, feeding, and providing companionship while they were away. In addition, I’ve attended dog training classes, where I learned effective leash-handling techniques and positive reinforcement methods. I’m a reliable, fast learner who is committed to providing attentive, compassionate care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to care for your pups anytime, morning, evening, or night. I am able to spend as much time with your dog as you desire. I will exercise, feed, entertain, and love your dog daily. I will never walk your dog off leash and will follow any instructions you give me.
“Michael is fantastic and always makes us feel so comfortable being away from home knowing our pets will be cared for. Michael goes above and beyond and we couldn’t recommend him more highly!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies who require consistency, supervision, and reinforcement of basic training routines.

My goal is not only to meet a pet's basic needs but to make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their family is away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and I'm the kind of sitter who genuinely enjoys building a bond with the pets I care for. Whether it's helping a puppy burn off energy and stay on schedule or giving a senior pet the extra patience and comfort they deserve, I tailor my care to each animal's unique needs. I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pet parents should never have to wonder how their furry family member is doing, so I provide frequent updates and photos. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. ❤️🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I love animals and enjoy the companionship they bring.

This will vary depending on which service you offer. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I make sure they have opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special requirements so they receive personalized care and feel like part of the family while they're with me. 🐾❤️
“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”

About: I've cared for three pets since 2018, all hyper Boston Terriers, and I understand dogs with temperament and behavior issues. I love all animals (but dogs are my favorite). Current and future availability is extensive. I'm taking a year off from school and working to earn money. I have no plans to travel and will be available 7 days a week. I regularly walk, feed and play with my Boston Terrier. And, of course, his safety is the upmost importance to me. He's my companion and greatest friend.
“Abigail took excellent care of our 2 Vizslas. She reliably arrived for each of the 3 visits per day, reported to me anything of concern, and provided daily photos of the dogs. My wife and I are very satisfied with Abigail handling of our dogs.”

The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Kensington is $20

As always Angela has been an amazing sitter to my little Rosie. I go on a lot of work trips and this time I extended with some person vacation. I never had to worry about Rosie because I knew she was in good hands. Angela is excellent with communicating and providing updates. Thank you Angela you really are the best! ❤️

Ashley was great with my cat and dog! My dog is very nervous and she took her time letting Tot warm up to her. Ashley accommodated a short notice booking which was amazing, and she was prompt, kept me updated and checked over everything I asked her to. I would highly recommend her!

Teffni does such a great job with her drop in visits. I can tell by all the photos she takes that our pups feel very comfortable with her and I have peace of mind that a trusted person is taking care of them and giving them a break while we're away at work for the day. Thank you so much, Teffni!

Natalie is a wonderful and I’d highly recommend her for anyone with a puppy. She’s great with our 3 month old terrier mix. I’m pretty sure our puppy is more excited to see Natalie walk in than she is to see her own family members come home! Natalie’s also easy to communicate and schedule with and is very reliable. Five stars!

Ilana was fantastic.Ilana took excellent care of my dog Duke while I was out of town for three days. She was reliable, professional, and clearly cared about Duke’s well-being. She handled feeding and walking him twice a day, and giving his daily medication without any issues. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Ilana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Kae is literally the person I was hoping to find on here! He is kind, thoughtful, conscientious, communicative, and flexible. He is amazing with the animals and is careful to ask questions if he doesn’t understand something. You can always tell a true animal lover when you meet one! Kay goes above and beyond. I am so happy to have found him and trust him 100% to take good care of our animal crew when I’m away!

Jana was very communicative and friendly while we planned her visit with my dog. She did a great job watching my dog and sent me many updates to let me know things were going and sent pictures so I could see all the fun they were having! Will definitely reach out to her again for help with my dog!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kensington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kensington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kensington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
