“My experience with Ms. Gabriela, who watched Oli for a week, was excellent. I could tell she took great care of my dog, sending daily pictures and updates that put my family and me at ease. It was wonderful to see how happy and relaxed Oli was. Gabriela is very kind, lovely, and gentle with dogs. ****I highly recommend Gabriela, and I will definitely use her services again!***”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Masha!!! She and her husband watched our lab for the week and were fantastic about providing updates and caring for our girl. We would absolutely love to be repeat customers in the future :) Thanks Masha!!!!!”
“Evan was a great sitter for my older dog, Dempsey! He took great care of him and kept me informed of how he was doing. Evan has a genuine love for dogs and did a wonderful job!”
“My sweet, shy little pup loved Meri from the first moment they met (which is very unusual for my dog). Meri did such a great job taking care of Lucy, keeping me updated by sending me pictures, and making Lucy feel at home. Our flight was delayed, and Meri was very responsive and flexible to our changing travel plans which put me at ease in a stressful situation. I highly recommend Meri!”
“Carlos and Travis took care care of my two boys over a weekend, and were very accommodating when I had a flight cancelations and had to extend another night. My small one had nervous stomach issues and they were communicative and took care of him. Thank you for the peace of mind and loving hands!”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Calvin and Vanessa! They took amazing care of our Shiba for over two weeks, and she got along so well with their two friendly dogs. We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Thanks so much for hosting Remy during the eclipse. He had a great time and we could tell he was well cared for. And the scheduling flexibility gave us the ability to do the trip!”
“Derek is an exceptional sitter and certified dog whisperer! My pup Charlie immediately felt at home with him and his own furry friend Terp! He sent me frequent but not pestering updates and check in photos, so I never felt I had to worry about anything. Would recommend and book again!”
“Christian truly saved the day for me during a family emergency. She responded quickly, was very flexible, and took such good care of Caia. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Caia was with someone so kind and reliable. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Anastasiia is fantastic! She made sure my anxious dog a very nice sleepover!! She was very kind and caring and understanding of all my dog's needs. She even let Claudette take the best spot on the couch! Highly recommend!!”
“Andy took great care of my puppy! Not easy with a 5 month old golden doodle, but Bixby had many walks and a backyard to spend this energy. It was a good experience for him to socialize with Andy’s daughter and other dogs he dogs sits.I appreciated the daily pictures and videos. We won’t hesitate to reach out again.”
“This was the third time we’ve left our pup with Yoshiko. When we arrived at her building, Hoss was pulling me to her with all his might - what more do you need to know? :)”
About: I grew up around many animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, and ducks during my lifetime. I don’t train puppies, but will care for them. I can care for senior dogs. I can orally administer medications, but have never injected medication, but will if shown how. I am available 24 hours per day, and also on all holidays. I am around pretty much all the time. Your pet will be supervised at all times. I have 3 years of dog sitting experience in my own household, I make sure everyone is properly separated when eating to prevent empty stomachs or incidents, I promote 100% safe play and socializing. I have a dog crates, and can keep dogs separate if need be.
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Khadija was such a great sitter. It’s always nerve-racking leaving your baby with someone new, especially after having the same sitter for 4 years before moving. But from the meet and greet, Domino seemed to like her immediately and even when I dropped him off he was excited to be back. Khadija was very accommodating as far as drop off/pick up which just made my short trip even less stressful. I’ll definitely be using her again.”
“We are truly thankful to Michael for taking care of our dog while we traveled. She clearly had a great time and we appreciated the regular messages and photos of walks during her stay. Thanks Michael!”

I could tell my pups Kilo & Ruby were both completely content and at-ease with David & Allison! They sent lots of cute pictures and updates and were so attentive to their needs and routine. It was Ruby’s first time staying with a sitter since we adopted her, so I of course was a bit anxious about how she might be, but David & the family just have a lovely, calm energy that ensured everyone (myself included) had an easy and relaxing time! Plus a beautiful home and yard for the pups to run around in. Overall, 10/10 and will definitely be booking again next time we travel :)
Aashna and Sidhanth did an amazing job with our dog Apollo and cat Hermoine. They paid extra attention and care to them. They sent constant updates and pictures/ videos and were extremely responsive. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for more or better. Will definitely be booking them again in the future. 10 out 10 would recommend!
This is my second time using Eva and she was great as usual. Simone (my fur baby) loves going there and she loves her backyard. Eva kept me updated even as Simone experienced an upset tummy one of the days of her stay. She took great care of her and I appreciated that very much. Will definitely keep booking with Eva.
Galen provided our Bo with exceptional loving care for his extended stay with her. She did not hesitate to go above and beyond providing Bo with his special food and medicine. She is truly a gem, taking him for long walk and cuddles when they were back at her house. I know Bo looks forward to his next visit to her house as he knows it is his second home!
Adva & Steven were fantastic! They sent many pictures and updates while I was away. My dog is afraid of thunderstorms but they made sure he was comforted during the storm. Also, they were flexible with pick up time when my flight was delayed. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, welcoming dog sitters.
We had such a wonderful experience with Oyin Damola! From our very first communication, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and kind. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she was so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating that I immediately felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Our dog had an amazing stay and was clearly well cared for and loved. Oyin was attentive, caring, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely continue using Oyin in the future. She was absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!
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!!
Dana and Patrick were wonderful with Ollie once again. It’s been a great experience to travel knowing he’s in good hands and the updates make me feel reassured that he’s also having a good time while we are away. We will definitely book with them again in the future when we need care for our dog.
Ana took wonderful care of our dog Olive during our recent trip! Olive particularly appreciated her time in Ana’s fenced backyard and we greatly appreciated the updates and photos that Ana regularly provided as well as her willingness to accept our booking request with short notice.

There are 8,210 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kensington. About 91% of Kensington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
