“Julijai was amazing with Dakota and I already booked her for the next weekend! Great at communicating but also respecting my time while on vacation. Got lots of pics of my pup and I know she was having a blast!!”

“Diana was wonderful! We had a meet-n-greet prior to booking a stay. I brought my Bella to meet Diana’s dog, Charlie. They got along fine and Bella was surprisingly comfortable around him. I booked a one night stay but Diana also picked Bella up and dropped her off so this was the easiest boarding experience I’ve ever had. Diana also shared many photos through their time together and Bella found her lap to be a favorite spot, which was nice to see. Overall, I was thrilled and will be a repeat customer.”
“Khadija took excellent care while I was away. I came home to a very happy doggie. Khadija has such a pleasant spirit that any animal would love. I was at ease knowing Princeton was with someone caring and responsible. I highly recommend Khadija!”

“Nadia was a pleasure to work with, prompt responses, professional and courteous, sent pictures of our dog every day, we will definitely book with Nadia in the future!”

“Christopher took excellent care of Oslo! He made sure Oslo stayed active and had plenty of playtime and it was clear he was having so much fun. I really appreciated all the picture updates throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“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!”

“Great service, quick responses, and very friendly. My dog Taco loved her and she sent me plenty of pictures of him during his stay. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”

“Angela was absolutely wonderful! She contacted me right away after I submitted my request, came to meet me and my two dogs beforehand, and made the entire boarding process easy from the start. While I was away, Angela and her family took amazing care of my dogs. They were clearly loved and well cared for, and I really appreciated the photos and videos she sent throughout their stay. I had several questions during my trip, and Angela always responded quickly, which gave me great peace of mind. She also has a spacious backyard that my dogs really enjoyed. I had complete confidence knowing my dogs were in such caring hands. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsive, and caring dog sitter!”

“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!”


“Maria is so wonderful! Wilson loves her and is sad each time we pick him up. We’re so glad each time we leave him with her because we know how well he’s taken care of.”

“Joseph and his wife are amazing. My pup has the absolute best time staying with them and playing with Odin (who btw is the sweetest dog). When I drop Chewie off for a long stay, I know he will be well taken care of, and loved like he is at home. What more could you ask for?”

“Michael did a great job with my little rescue Yorkie, Gracie. He sent pictures and updates on how she was doing and was very communicative throughout the process. Gracie is a velcro dog who is very shy and anxious around new people and dogs. She seemed to acclimate to Michael and his daughter quickly which I could tell in the pictures. She had been very content and happy once since I picked her up. Will definitely be boarding Gracie with him again in the future.”

“This was my second time having Rachel take care of my dog, and she did a great job again. She was also very accommodating when I had to pick up earlier than expected due to snow and ice. Her dog is a gentle giant who gets along well with my medium sized hound.”

“This was my pups first time with Kamille. Can’t say enough about Kamille’s very caring and attentive boarding experience for her. She gave my pup the time and space to get comfortable and provided me daily updates and videos. Will definitely use Kamille for all my boarding needs in the future.”


“Dave took great care of Penny while we were away for 10 days. Dave made the whole process very easy and was great to work with. We got daily updates with photos, and peace of mind knowing Penny was in good hands and sticking to her routine. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Dave followed the care instructions well. Reliable, communicative, and great with dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future trips and highly recommend Dave to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter!”


“Stacy did a fantastic job taking care of our great dane, Caroline. She sent updates daily and made sure to address our concerns. Very attentive. Will definitely be booking again with her.”

“Elena was unbelievably accommodating—I accidentally booked a drop off and pick up in the same day and she was able to switch to the overnight boarding I intended! She even did various little supportive things like freezing a Kong for Inis on his ride home. Thanks a million Elena!!”

“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”

“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”

Galen was able to squeeze our dog, Bo, in for a last-minute overnight stay. As usual her care of Bo was exceptional. He has turned into a very picky eater, but she patiently performed her magic and got him to eat!! We know he is not visiting a dogsitter but rather his second home!

Robin was fantastic! She took great care of Lula, made sure she felt comfortable, and was communicative throughout the stay. We could tell she was happy and well looked after — Lula would love to be with Robin again! Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

Kyle was an amazing and attentive sitter for our old girl Phoenix. We had a vet appointment the day before and she had received more shots than we anticipated and it did not sit well with her. Kyle was so kind and not weirded out by the sudden bowl issues our pup had under his care and kept us updated all the time. We so appreciate that Kyle was so kind about this and made our wonderful pup comfortable. Definitely consider Kyle if you want an amazing time for your four legged loves!

Our dog was very happy. Anastasiia was very communicative and took great care of our dog. She is clearly a dog person and very professional. This was a repeat booking and we will book her again when we can. We were out of town and felt very happy with our dog in her hands. She also sent great pictures of our dog. Excellent job all around.
Michaela was amazing! She took exceptional care of our sweet kitty, who needed meds three times a day during her stay. We booked her last minute and couldn't have been happier! Michaela communicated regularly; sent several adorable photos; and clearly made sure my cat felt happy, safe, and completely at home. I will definitely book with her again and recommend her highly!

Azucena was wonderful with my dog Willow. Before Willow boarded with her we set up a meet and greet where she asked very thoughtful and insightful questions to make sure she knew my pup's schedule, temperament, and needs. When Willow was with her, Azucena provided wonderful updates and pictures that made it clear that Willow was happy and well cared for.

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.
