What a great experience having Diana watch Stevie.From the minute we met at a meet & greet in her home, I knew Stevie would be in caring, trustworthy hands. My dog is very anxious and is usually scared of new people but she warmed up to Diana as soon as she met her. You can tell that Diana loves dogs (her own pup is adorable) and treated Stevie like she was her own. Diana wanted to know all about my dog’s schedule, likes and dislikes and personality. She was responsive, communicative, and sent daily updates and pictures so I knew my dog was comfortable and having a wonderful time. You could tell how much love Stevie was getting and I would absolutely book Diana again. I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing Stevie was happy and relaxed.

Had a great experience with Dave! Very friendly and accommodating. Flexible on drop off/pickup times. Has crates so we didn’t have to bring ours. Dogs came home happy and tired, which is exactly what we were looking for.

Excellent communication with Julijai and her daughter. This is a family business to include their dogs that truly cares about our furry family member. We enjoyed the videos and pictures. Blu loves your huge back yard and it's so beautiful. Thank you for caring for him for the first time. We will be back in two weeks.

Excellent reports showed my dog was so well-cared for! Dropping him off, it was clear he remembered and was excited to be back. Picking him up, it was clear he had an amazing time. If he ever runs away from home, I think I know what direction he’ll head in. :P

Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Sasha. She kept us well-informed of all the fun they were having, and by the pictures and messages, it was a lot! Being the holidays and away from home, we were so glad to know Sasha was in the best of hands. Tatiana is truly a dog lover, through and through and we will not hesitate to reach out to her in the future.

I have a great feeling of peace, knowing that my Marcel is being cared for by Elisabeth. She is attentive, loving and gives great care to our dog Marcel. Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.

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.

Aashna and Sidhanth were the most amazing family to my cat, Mellow. I received at least 3 updates every day with pictures and videos. I have never ever felt more at ease leaving my little boy behind on vacation. I never even had to reach out to ask how he was doing . They took such great care of Mellow that when we got him, he seemed happier with Aashna and Sid than we us lol he gave us the cold shoulder. I look forward to boarding Mellow with them again, and I HIGHLY recommend this amazing couple ! You two are just the best! Thank you so much !

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.

FAQs for Boarding - Kensington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 8,155 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.
