Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kensington
I feel so lucky to have had Robyn care for Jerry, my 1-yo cat for 10 days. From the moment we started the process, I could tell that she really loves caring for animals. She did everything she could to make me feel comfortable leaving "my little guy" in her care. We worked together to make the transition a smooth one for Jerry. We decided what he needed to feel comfortable. Robyn assured me he would have ample time to find his comfort level. When I met her in person, I felt like we could be friends forever. When I left Jerry, he was very scared. Robyn told me he would have a room to himself to calm down and he could stay in the room the whole time. She left the door open so he could come out when ready. He eventually came out and made friends with her cat. Robyn texted me every day about Jerry's progress. I could tell she spent time with him because she mentioned all the little characteristics that made him special. She fell in love with him and his little squeaks and purrs. She even celebrated his first birthday, since I wasn't there. He was in such kind and wonderful hands, I didn't have to worry anymore. There is nothing like peace of mind. I would hire Robyn again in a heartbeat. She's very special!
Jiao was wonderful! Our pup needed a surgery unexpectedly a few days before arriving to Jiao’s, and she was absolutely wonderful and gracious in taking on additional responsibilities like administering medication and sending photos of our pup’s wound so we could monitor healing. We are so grateful for her, and our dog was so well cared for when we were away.
Daniela was a great Dog Mom to Kofi while we were away for almost a week. She and her husband showed lots of love and care to him during the stay. She was communicative with updates, including photos and videos, and very easy going and flexible. She followed instructions well for his schedule. Kofi adjusted very quickly which was a testament to the caring environment they provided. Thank you Daniela and Sergio for allowing me to be worry-free about Kofi while away. 🤗
Valeria was amazing with my dog, and I was lucky she was able to take him for the weekend so last minute. It can be a struggle to get him to eat sometimes, but she had no problem keeping him fed, which I'm so happy about. My dog was, of course, ready to go home, but I could tell she took really good care of him and kept him exercised. I absolutely would go to her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

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.

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.
