“Trevor was amazing! Took a last minute scheduled walk and made sure that my shy/hesitant dog was comfortable. He really went above and beyond and it was soooo appreciated. He was quick and through in his communications.”
“Wonderful experience! She provided great updates throughout the visit, sent plenty of photos, and took excellent care of my dog. Communication was easy, and it was reassuring to know he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“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!”
“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.”

About: I started taking care of dogs for friends and neighbors when I was 10. Since then, I've been house sitting, walking, feeding, and playing with dogs of all sizes. I grew up with golden retrievers and have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs. I love spending time with dogs! ☺️ I just graduated undergrad and am currently studying for the LSAT to go to law school. My schedule is pretty flexible since I can arrange my studies around pet care. I have a large yard with lots of grass and trees. I am very responsible, caring, and experienced in did care and will make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
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.
About: I was raised within a big family of dog lovers and have since expanded my love to cats (so much so that I now have my own cat). I was taught from an early age that pets aren’t just animals – they are family, a lifetime commitment, honor and privilege. Whether it’s caring for my family’s senior, blind and diabetic pug, my neighbor’s rambunctious puppy or my best friend’s anxious cat, I treat all fur babies like my own family. Additionally, I also work in the arts. I find that my deep love for the arts also influences my style of pet and home care. With me, it’s a guarantee your precious cargo will be treated like family and like the unique piece of art that they are. I’m a freelancer in the arts and work from contract to contract. The summer months are significantly slower than the rest of the year, so I have lots of extra time between May and August to dedicate to the care of your dog, cat or home! Whatever parameters you set for the care of your pet and home, I will always follow to the letter. Give me as much or as little instruction as you see fit and I will make your best case scenario a reality. I am also always willing to send you as many pictures, videos or texts as you wish while you are away. I know and greatly value how much these tidbits can help with peace of mind.
About: For the past ten years, I have adopted and taken care of different senior rescue dogs. And puppies alike. I have been the primary dog watcher for my extended family and friends for many years. I love all dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities and I'm sure I'll love yours as well!! 😁 I'm currently working a full time job. However I work very close to home. I can walk your dog in the morning late afternoon and night before bed and always try for 3 walks a day. If you would rather I house sit your dog I can stay at your place and watch your furry friend there. I can also just come to you and walk your dog on the weekends. Let's get your dog the care they need!! 😁 I have an apartment which I own and am comfortable with your dog going anywhere they would like. While I prefer to let dogs roam my space and be at ease. I can crate them if you would prefer. If I house sat at your place I would follow your instructions and normal house rules to the letter.
“Malek is a dog whisperer! He was wonderful with our Australian shepherd puppy - who has a lot of energy and love to give! Malek took her on some great walks, and she was actually tired after! Thank you so much, Malek!”
About: Hi there! My name is Kata and I can’t wait to be your dogs second favorite person. As a dog parent myself, I understand how stressful it can be to find the right sitter. I prioritize safety, comfort, and fun for every furry friend in my care. Whether it's serious playtime, leisurely strolls around the neighborhood or cozy cuddle sessions, I strive to fit your and your dogs preferences. I have years of experience with pets, both personally and professionally so I'm comfortable administering medications, sticking to dietary restrictions and following any other special instructions to ensure your dog's well-being. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs (especially the big ones), I'm here to provide your baby with a home away from home! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to host your dog in my home and care for them as if they were my own! I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs that love to make new friends. I also have a crate and baby gates that can be utilized to create the safest space for your pet. Dogs won’t be left unsupervised for extended periods of time.
“Anton has been walking our Pittie, Mihoshi, for months, and he is an excellent walker!! He’s very attentive to our pup’s behavior and communicates thoroughly. If we ever need to make adjustments, he is flexible. If he has upcoming plans, he informs us weeks in advance so we can work out the schedule together. I couldn’t recommend him more if you’re looking for a walker or sitter for your furry friend. :)”
“Denisse has been fantastic with our older dog! Very responsive and super accommodating. Our 50lb dog needs to be carried up/down the stairs and she handles that without issue and provides plenty of pictures, updates, and even gives our dog cookies.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet owners is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve always had cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I also have a 13-year-old diabetic cat, which has given me firsthand experience with caring for pets who have special medical needs, maintaining routines, administering medication, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior and health. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I treat every animal as if they were my own and want owners to feel completely confident knowing their pets are in loving and trustworthy hands. I am currently a bartender/server, so my schedule works wonderfully if you're needing someone to look after the fur babies while you work. My schedule can also be flexible if I'm given enough notice. My cat has not lived with other cats in a while due to his diabetes effecting his back legs for a while. My Tigger is my best friend. He is my baby that I care for like a child with routine feedings, medications, vet visits, etc.
“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!”
“Azucena is fantastic! She paid close attention to whatever my dog Hazel needed, is very on top of it, is communicative as needed, and provided updates after each walk. I would recommend Azucena!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Kensington is $20

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m very pleased with the dog-walking services! Jonathan was very helpful with making sure my dog got the care, attention, and exercise she needed. It was good to see my pup come back tired and ready to lay down. I appreciate the time and effort put into making sure she was well cared for. Very friendly and easy to talk to and did more than I expected. As my first time using any dog walking service, I am well pleased. I would definitely recommend his service to other pet owners looking for help with their dogs!
Tyler Jade was fantastic! She was dependable, attentive, and made the entire experience easy and stress free. I really appreciated her care and flexibility, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!
Very thankful to have found Nayke! I am particularly appreciative of how perceptive he is with my dogs, and he always provides feedback that lets me know he was actively engaged in their care. He’s also happy to take treats with him to help with any training issues on the walk. Looking forward to continuing to work with him going forward!
Maya! Thank you so much! Envy was incredibly happy upon meeting Maya and easily welcomed her warm personality. I received qualitative updates in each Rover card with adorable photos to pair! Maya was receptive to all procedures necessary to provide care to my pup and will absolutely use again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Kensington is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 16,884 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 Kensington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kensington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
