“Absolutely amazing experience! Left my boy for 10 days and he couldn’t have been in a better care! She kept us updated throughout the whole stay and made sure to send daily pictures. It made me feel better knowing that he was getting so much attention and love! Will be using Felicia every time we need help!”
“Denise was great! She sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog, and he was clearly well cared for and enjoying himself. She has two sweet dogs herself and it was a wonderful environment.”
“Julia was amazing with our puppy and went above and beyond to take care of him as well as to keep us up to date with how everything was going, would highly recommend her to anyone”
“Sylwia and her family (humans and dogs) took wonderful care of our one and a half year old pup when we were away. We received photos every day which was great! We were very happy and will be back!”
“Andrea and her family are so wonderful and caring. Ruby is so at home with them. She's happy when we get there and content when we go home. I can't say enough wonderful things about them.”
“We are so grateful to have found Kathy! She took care of our two dogs when we went to Florida for my daughter’s wedding. Kathy went out of her way to speak with me over the phone, set up a meet and greet for us on a Saturday two weeks in advance, and was so accommodating with our travel schedule. She kept us updated with photos and videos. Our pups were treated like family and that really helped ease our minds. We highly recommend Kathy she definitely loves dogs and is also super nice! Thank you for everything Kathy, we will be booking with you again!”
“I will definitely be rebooking with Rebeca! I could tell that she and her family truly cared for my dog, as they would their own. I received lots of photos and updates on her stay!”
“Shadow had an amazing by time with Josh! Loved all the updates and photos while we were away, we could tell he was very loved and he was very tired when he got home…a win win for sure!”
“We had a great experience with Michelle looking after our French Bulldog, Sunny. She did an excellent job and Sunny seemed happy and well-cared for when we returned. She was attentive, responsible, and made sure Sunny felt right at home. It's reassuring to know we have such a reliable sitter to trust. Highly recommended!”
“Karen was great with our dog, Bolton! She made him feel at home with her dogs and other dog in her care. We appreciate her kindness in helping Bolton to acclimate, as he can sometimes be nervous when going to new places. We're excited for Bolton to visit Karen again soon!”
About: Having worked alongside my wife (Felicia S.), who has earned Star Sitter status on Rover, I understand how important communication, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone else's pet. Helping her with her pet-sitting services has given me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities, ages, and needs. My goal is to provide the same dependable, loving care that has helped her earn Star Sitter recognition while building my own relationships with pets and their owners. I’ve cared for my own pets and helped friends and family with their animals over the years, in addition to providing pet care independently. My experience includes feeding, refreshing water, daily care, walking, exercise, playtime, and offering plenty of attention and companionship. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and boarding. Depending on your pet’s needs, care may include walks, potty breaks, feeding, fetch, exercise, and relaxed companionship. Our home is set well back from the main road and features a large, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy safe, supervised outdoor play. I’m comfortable reinforcing established puppy routines, providing a gentler pace for senior pets, and crating your dog if requested. What sets me apart is my patience, flexible schedule, and commitment to giving each pet individualized attention. I’m generally home full-time, allowing me to accommodate daytime walks, visits, and plenty of one-on-one care. I carefully follow your instructions and provide photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, answer any questions, and make sure we're a great fit! I work from home. I have plenty of flexibility to help with your pets. I’m home the majority of the day and can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule. While in my care, your pet will be closely supervised, treated with patience and respect, and given plenty of attention. I follow your routines and household rules, and provide regular photos and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Donna and John are great to work with and we fully trust them with our pup. They communicated well before and during our trip and it was clear our dog settled in quickly and was comfortable throughout. We'll be asking them to sit again for sure!”
“Rose cared for my Cairn terrier when my usual sitter was unavailable on short notice. She was attentive and responsive, sending updates and photos frequently during our long weekend away. You can tell she really enjoys dogs and makes an effort to make them feel comfortable in her home.”
“Caitlyn exceeded my expectations and took good care of my two feench bulldogs. She groomed them, played with them and loved them like they were her own! I think my dogs liked her more than me and already misses her. Haha 😄 I didnt worry about them at all knowing they were with her. I will never leave them at a boarding facility again and they will go to Caitlins from now on! Thank you for your love and care of my beloved dogs!”
About: I am a lifetime dog lover and would love to care for your dog like they were my own. My last dog, Finn, gained his angel wings in June and was with me for 15 amazing years. I'd like to continue caring for other pups in his honor! I am also an approved foster for a local dog rescue, and have experience with puppies, mama dogs, and older dogs. I am very happy to care for older dogs as they hold a special place in my heart! If your dog boards with me, they will get tons of love, snuggles, exercise and walks, and have a safe place to be while you are away. My goal is to make my home their second favorite place to be :) I currently work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I do have two school aged children at home, so we have a very consistent daily and weekly routine. Until recently, we had a dog at home, so pet care fits very naturally into our days. We have a large back yard away from the road. It is not fenced in, but I will take your pet out on a leash for bathroom breaks, walking for exercise and some supervised playing! There will not be any outside time that is unsupervised. I am very familiar with crate trained dogs or with uncrated dogs as long as they are safe outside of the crate (as in they are old enough not to eat dangerous things etc). If you have a puppy that is not house trained yet, I request that they be in a crate for night time. Inside the home, they will have access only to the floor that I am on at the moment, so as to keep them safe and out of trouble! We have plenty of gates and other items to block off different parts of the house. Mostly they will just be hanging out with me! I also have an octagon style play pen for puppies.
“Becky and Bob were wonderful with Hunter. The pictures I got showed a happy dog. The stay was only overnight to see how hunter would do with a next stay if a week. I feel comfortable leaving him with them Thanks so much Becky and bob”
“We are so happy with Joseph! He took great care of our Lulu while we were away and kept us updated throughout our trip. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We truly appreciate his patience, kindness, and care. Thank you so much, Joseph! We would definitely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! ❤️🐾”
“Diamond took such great care of our dog Maple! He's sometimes a little anxious but he was completely at home there. Diamond sent frequent photo updates and even took him to work with her. We'll definitely be dropping him off here again the next time we go away.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Kensington is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Kensington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kensington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kensington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kensington. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Kensington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 NH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
