“Jason is beyond wonderful with our new pup, as well as very friendly and kind. He's accommodating to our changes as we settle into a routine. We're looking forward to ongoing walks!”
“Teffni is so sweet and communicative, and she had to deal with a lot: my dog not wanting to walk in the rain and the front desk attendant giving her a hard time. Really appreciated her help.”
“Excellent walker. We could not be happier! Communicative and takes great photos. Always on time. Our dog can be a little shy with strangers and she was very patient with him. Would book again.”
About: Hi! I’m Helena, a lifelong dog lover and experienced owner of a large, high-energy dog. I know that every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup enjoys a long walk, a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to tailor each visit to their needs. I’m comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. You can count on me to treat your dog like one of my own. I’ll provide plenty of updates, photos, and reliable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available any day of the week. I know last minute needs happen so I am available same day if needed. Hope to see you soon! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep fresh water available, clean up after walks, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise. I’ll also send photo updates and messages so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and will always use safe leash-handling practices.
About: Experience with puppies and older dogs, some knowledge in training of puppies and younger dogs. Also experienced with larger breeds, such as labs and pitties! I’m a student looking for a side hustle, so I can be flexible with a client’s schedule and preference for walk time/duration. I live in a walkable area with access to trails, and I have a grass backyard to play in. As a dog walker, your pet’s well being and safety are my top priorities. I will ensure a safe and fun walking environment for your pup.
“Mary has been incredible with my two dogs — patient, attentive, and so genuinely caring. Not only does she make sure they’re well-exercised and cared for, but she takes the time to play with them and build real trust. Since she started walking them, I’ve noticed a huge difference: they’re more relaxed, happier, and even friendlier around other people. That’s a big deal for my pups, and it speaks volumes about the calm, consistent energy Mary brings. She’s dependable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. I feel totally at ease knowing my dogs are in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and all-around amazing dog walker!”

About: I’ve had a dog for 12 years and family and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs and give them the proper care. I am playing in a summer baseball league and I work at a summer camp for 4 weeks so during that time I’ll only be available on weekends but when that isn’t happening I am mostly available during the day. I routinely feed and walk my dog at home and go to my friend’s home when they are on vacation to feed and let their dog out.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Angela! I booked her last minute on a Friday because my cousin’s family and I were going away to a wedding, and we needed urgent care for our pets. She responded so quickly, was incredibly understanding of the situation, and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the weekend she sent constant updates and pictures, which meant the world to us. She even stepped in to care for another pet I added last minute—without hesitation—and did it all with such care and professionalism. Truly, I could not have asked for anyone better. If you put your pets in her hands, you can trust they will be loved, safe, and so well taken care of. She was amazing, and I am beyond thankful for her help. I would absolutely love to book with her again in the future.”

“I will book with Nailah 10 times out of 10. She is consistent with communication, very kind and caring, and professional. Nailah walks my dog about 6-8 times a month. I know Ivy loves the walks!”
“Amelia is the best!!! She’s been so very patient with our dog, Leah, who has major anxiety issues. She’s always prompt and timely in her communication. Leah just adores her and that makes us very happy.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kensington
Our dogs love Helena! She is very kind, caring, and punctual. Our dogs loves Helena’s warm personality and they greet her with lots of love. Our little cavapoo Whitney is typically fearful and a little anxious at times. Whitney has quickly warmed up to Helena and not as anxious doing the transfer of leash at the door. Thank you so much Helena for your love, care and patience you give our fur babies.
We went on vacation for a week and were so happy to find Jonathan. He was very responsive and made sure our dog was well taken care of. He sent us photos and videos of her walks and the time he spent with her. This helped to assure us that she wasn’t lonely while we were gone. He was also extremely flexible and we were able to add on services at the last minute. Thanks so much! We would definitely book with Jonathan in the future.
Evelyn was an amazing dog walker! She was always reliable, punctual, and genuinely cared about our dog. Communication was excellent, and she always kept us updated, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog was always excited to see her and came home happy after every walk. We truly appreciate all the care and attention she gave him. I highly recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker!
Concetta is wonderful! She loves animals, and bonds easily with them, and she’s extremely professional and dedicated. All of our dogs are delighted to see her for a walk, and we know that they’ll be well cared for and nurtured when she takes care of them when we’re out of town.
Naomi did an excellent job with our three dogs walking them and giving them lots of attention. Looking forward to Naomi watching our dogs for a week straight on an upcoming visit and we feel very comfortable and know they are in good hands….our dogs really like Naomi.
Melissa was an amazing dog walker! She was reliable, punctual, and genuinely cared about our dog. Communication was excellent, and she always kept us updated, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog was excited to see her and came home happy after walk. We truly appreciate all the care and attention she gave him. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker!
Drew is just fantastic! He gave both of my doggies such nice walks, took great pictures and updated me about how they were doing. I was very impressed because especially my dog Jack can be hard to handle. He didn’t bat an eye! Will definitely be using Drew again!!!
Whitney is the best and I’m so thankful I came across her on Rover - She is attentive and demonstrates the utmost care and respect for your fur baby. I only have positive things to say. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone responsible, responsive, and a great communicator!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kensington on Rover is $20.49 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 17,276 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kensington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kensington.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kensington. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
