“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.”
“Dennis loved his time with the family and Larry the dog was the most gracious host! We got daily update photos and will definitely look to book again in the future. BIG FANS!”
“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.”
“Khadija took great care of our dog Artemis as always! We were delayed in picking him up after her family road trip took longer than expected, and she was extremely gracious. We appreciate her wonderful care, communication, and flexibility!”
“We all had such a good experience with Erin! Great communication, loved the pictures and Sherman had such a good time on their walks and outings. Highly recommend. Thank you so much, Erin!”
“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.”
“Pancho had a great time at Hayden’s - he came home quite tired! Haydenn has been very responsive and accommodating with Pancho’s needs and time of arrival / pick up. Will come back again!”
“Andrea and Mike were wonderful sitter for Max. Max was really happy and looked really healthy. We were happy to find them and looked forward to see them again!”
“The entire stay was smooth and enjoyable. Chloe made sure to update me during zula’s stay by sending videos and pictures. Drop off and pick up both also went smoothly. Definitely recommend this stay!”
“Armanush was wonderful. She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs. My flight was delayed and she was accommodating of a later pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Johanna was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Rylo. He can be a little nervous in new environments, but we felt like we were in expert hands with Johanna. She shared regular updates and photos and was so great to work with. Rylo already can’t wait to play with her again soon!”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“Yoshiko and Mia were amazing, communicative, flexible and the best of all they loved Hulk! Now that he is back he seems to miss them! Thanks for all the love and good care!”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Brendan was fantastic. We were thrilled that he was able to care for our anxious older dog. He was quite responsive and sent pics to let us know how she was doing. So grateful!”
“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.”

Fiorela took care of our two large, energetic labrador retrievers for a long weekend. She doted on them and kept them plenty busy, with photos and updates every day. She even sent them home with some yummy homemade treats. We would definitely be happy to have her care for our pups again!
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 !
My Raven clearly enjoyed her stay with Inga and her family (and dogs!). Daily photos showed lots of play and relaxed contentment. House and yard are made for dogs! I also appreciate Inga's flexibility with scheduling our meet-and-greet and with the timing of drop off and pick up. Will book with her again!
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.
Stephanie is amazing. She truly cares for our dogs as if they were her own. Stephanie sends multiple updates daily and it is very clear our dogs are comfortable in her house and right at home. The dogs have stayed with her twice and both times we were able to fully enjoy our trips because we knew the dogs were in excellent hands. Thanks Stephanie!

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.
