“Absolutely incredible sitter! Great communication, tons of pictures, and my cats obviously really liked her which is the biggest plus! I hate leaving my pets for extended periods of time but Marion put me immediately at ease after her first visit. Highly highly recommend for your pets!”


About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've also dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors.I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to giving pets the attention they deserve. As a full-time teacher during the school year, I have a structured and reliable schedule. Currently, I am completing home training modules, which gives me flexibility during the day for pet care visits. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I will always communicate clearly about my availability and arrival times. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comportable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, medications, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety, follow all household guidelines, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
About: Your Dog’s New Favorite Human 🐾✨ Hi there! I’m your go-to dog lover with 5+ years of hands-on experience in training, sitting, and traveling with pups of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between—I meet them exactly where they are. I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies learning the ropes to older dogs who just want a calm, loving companion. My background in training means I reinforce good behavior (with lots of positive vibes), and my experience in pet sitting + transport means your dog is always in safe, capable hands—whether we’re at home or on the move. 🐶 What makes me different? I don’t just “watch” dogs—I connect with them. I pay attention to their body language, routines, and quirks so they feel comfortable, secure, and honestly… a little spoiled. 🚗 Bonus: I’m experienced in traveling with dogs, so if your pup loves (or needs) to hit the road, I’ve got it covered safely and stress-free. 💛 You can expect: • Reliable communication & photo updates • A calm, confident handler • Lots of love, play, and attention • Respect for your dog’s routine and needs At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own—because they deserve nothing less. I currently work as a remote logistics coordinator for my company, so I am flexible with my availability for your dogs needs. I also am a pet reiki practioner (which is run by appointment only). I care for every pet with genuine love, compassion, and attention to their individual needs—just like I would my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and structured environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I stick closely to their normal routines (feeding, walks, sleep schedules) so they experience as little disruption as possible. There’s always plenty of affection, supervision, and positive interaction throughout the day. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine. I make sure your dog feels secure in their familiar environment while maintaining consistency with feeding, exercise, and any training habits you’ve established. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. No matter the service, my approach is simple: as much love as possible, paired with reliability, safety, and thoughtful care.
“I highly recommend Ceceiia! She took excellent care of our dog while we were away! She brought him special treats and we got a daily report with photos. Made our trip more enjoyable knowing our dog was in good hands!”

“Lydia is great with our 2 big dogs that aren’t always easy to deal with. She is reliable and keeps you informed at all times. We certainly recommend her to care for your pets.”

“Michaela was super great to work with! She very considerately took time to do a meet and greet with my kitties so we could all feel comfy. The day of our booking she very kindly messaged me to confirm feeding instructions (I did a bad job— good learning experience for me!) and took lots of photos. I’ll definitely book with her again! 😊 Thanks, Michaela, you made this nervous first-timer feel so much more at ease!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes, independently since I was a young adult, for friends, family, and clients. I’ve offered pet sitting, daycare, walks, etc. I work remotely most of the time and have the ability to make my own schedule during the week, and have wider availability on weekends. I love going on leashed adventures in my dog friendly town, taking trips to dog parks, fields, beaches, and exploring new or already loved areas!
About: I have worked in the pet care industry, specializing in dogs, since 2013. From daycare and boarding to training and behavior modification- from grooming to veterinary care- I have seen it all and worked closely with a wide variety of experts in these fields. For several years, I even owned and ran my own in-home dog training business before deciding to move to the veterinary side- utilizing my years of experience to now help care for the health of people’s beloved dogs- and cats- in as fear free a way as possible. I am very excited to expand to offer walks and nail trims in this format and for the new relationships I will build! I am currently working part-time so I will be looking to fit in walks between my shifts. Currently I am only looking to book walks, drop ins and nail trims. It is always my goal to treat each dog and cat as if it is my own. I focus on being a strong, calm leader for them and providing them with the respect each animal deserves.
“Jamie was terrific for Drop-In visits for our golden retriever! Responsive, timely, reliable, great communicator and updates. Best part was how comfortable our pup was with her and happy she was when we got home. Clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. Highly Recommmend!”

About: I graduated from college with a degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work at vet hospital in Maine. I have been with animals all my life. And have two of my own. I work full time so during the week days afternoon potty time will be hard but if they can handle over 6+ hours of being alone then it will work perfectly. I would care for your animal at your house so it will be easier on your animal and not be anxious when at a new place. I will give them lots of cuddles and love. I treat them like they are my own. We will play all sorts of games too.
“Anna is a delight of a pet sitter. She is responsible, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Our three cats, even the timid, skittish one, clearly felt very comfortable with her, as shown in the adorable close-up photos she sent. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a gentle and compassionate caretaker for their pets.”


About: I love being active and caring for animals. I will be very attentive and provide your dog with lots of exercise, love & joy. I am available during the week and weekends for overnights/walks. I have been taking care of Friend’s Dogs and my own dog for over 20+ years. You will be assured your dog will be tired and in good care with me. I am an abstract artist and would love this opportunity to supplement my income. My schedule is very flexible and would love to put you at ease caring for your pet while away. I have lots of energy and love to spend time outside with your dog. I assure you will be in great hands when you leave your pet home with me!
About: I've had pets ever since I could remember! My grandparents also owned and lived on a horse farm (I spent way more time there than my own home my entire childhood and I moved in to the farm when I was 15 until I moved in to my own place) As soon as I had my first apartment, the first thing my now-husband and I did was go get a pet(or three)! And then when we bought our first home, we added more cats (including a lynx!) ! My husband also has a passion for animals, as well as my 14 year old son, and our 2 toddlers! We have three beautiful cats and a bearded dragon as well! And a HUGE fenced in yard that will provide a safe space for your pup(s) to play! I am able to help you train your puppy, walk your older dog, help out with training of adult dogs or anything there in between. Cat care is also something I can do! I throughly enjoy any time that I spend with animals or taking care of others (or animals), and this job is the best of both worlds! My passion for helping people and my love for animals is showcased when I help others with their beloved pets. I currently am back in school full-time (from home) and I run 2 small businesses from home in which I can choose my schedule so I really am available the majority of the time to give your pet the love & care they need! Animals and helping people are truly my passion so my schedule is super flexible when it comes to the things that I love! I have a fenced in and flat yard thats about 2/3 of an acre and two super loving dogs here! My Aussie is 1.5 years old and my lab/hound mix is 2.5 years old! We always have a plentiful amount of toys and can be accommodating to most any of your needs, or your pets! If your dog needs to be crated, that's also an option here as well! When the warmer weather approaches, we are outside the majority of the days so your pup will get plenty of exercise and play time! Puppies will have room to explore and play in a safe environment! Fences are regularly checked to make sure theres no digging holes around (We know some dogs like to dig!!) and pets will always be supervised.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kensington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kensington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kensington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
