About: I’ve grown up around dogs for over 10 years and have always loved caring for animals. I recently moved out of my parents’ home after losing my last childhood dog, and I’m not quite ready to have my own dog just yet. I’d love to spend that time caring for and loving other people’s pets! I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, give them lots of attention, and keep them comfortable in a home environment. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and will treat your pet like they are my own. I work three night shifts per week as a nurse, while my partner works weekday mornings and afternoons as an electrician. Because of our schedules, there are plenty of days and times when I’m available to give pets my full attention with his help. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. We have an unfenced lawn at home and live on a quiet dead-end road with safe walking areas around a lake, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I’m also happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. We live on a quiet dead-end road with a safe area to walk and a lake nearby, and I’m happy to take dogs out on a leash for walks and exercise. Although we do not have a fenced-in yard, we have a lawn and I will always make sure pets are supervised and safely leashed when outside. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or routine instructions to help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Daisy watched our dog Bentley for a long weekend. Daisy was great with Bentley, she is very understanding and kind . In the past our dog Bentley got very anxious and nervous when we went away, he was very comfortable with her and happy for the time we where gone. We already booked Daisy for a week long stay in the end of January!”
“Kris is such a positive, effervescent person. I could tell that Chloe enjoyed her stay. Moreover, when I picked her up after a two week stay with Kris and her husband, she was very clean—even her white feet. I was afraid she might be a mess given that the weather had been wet. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi pet parents! My name is Elena. Im obsessed with all animals, especially dogs. Im happiest outdoors and go on adventure walks with my own dog every day. No matter the weather, I’d rather be on a walk! *I’ve inquired with Rover about why my rating is lower, it is from an incomplete booking and nothing can be done. Please see my reviews for testaments to the quality of care I provide! I am a geologist and work multi-week shifts elsewhere in the country, so when I am home I have lots of time to schedule pet care. I am especially looking for dog walking and drop-in visits that I can schedule according to your pet’s needs. For boarding, I only care for one dog at a time (or two from the same family). This would be perfect for a senior dog, special needs dog, or a puppy which requires loving attention and a calm, quiet space. I want to ensure a safe and happy experience for you and your pet. I don’t take any risks if I am caring for someone else’s pet, the same as I would expect for care of my own dog. Your dog will feel safe with me. I always use praise and positive reinforcement to best work with your pup.
“she was super great! took very good care of my dog and i’ll definitely bring him back to her sent me plenty of videos and photos to make sure he was having a great time and i love it! thank you so much”
“Kelly took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend, and she was so communicative and kept me totally up to date. She was also so patient when my pup unfortunately had an upset tummy! Thank you Kelly!”
“I boarded my dog Maggie at Paul & Megan's home. They were very attentive to her needs and gave timely updates during her stay. Maggie seemed to enjoy her time there and she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend them as a sitter!”
“Wagner had a good first stay with Gienna and Maggy. Gienna was great at providing updates with photos during the stay, and we feel very comfortable leaving Wagner for an overnight stay next month.”
“Leyani was great, her kids loved our dog too. I would not hesitate to leave Brewster with their family in the future. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and we could tell he was happy and relaxed.They have a nice fenced yard and took Brewster to the dog park as well.”
“Kat is a great doggo host. She is very knowledgeable about K9's and treated my pup like her own. She is very communicative, sends pictures while your pup is staying with her along with any updates on the shenanigans going on while staying with her. My dog assimilated well with her host pack and I would HIGHLY recommend her if you need daycare, training or boarding. Her energy is great & I enjoyed my time away knowing my dog was in EXCELLENT HANDS. Thanks again Kat!!!!!!!!”
“Carolyn is an amazing dog sitter/walker/boarding home. And our dog, Zoey, loved playing with her dogs, Gunner and Buddy. Zoey was also spoiled by the whole family! Carolyn went above and beyond to care for Zoey every evening/night and would meet us/drop Zoey off in the mornings, so we could have a wonderful vacation together.”
“Alma, our 15-month-old black lab pup, loved hanging out with Will and Luna. Alma is super energetic and Will didn’t disappoint, taking her to her favorite spots in Franklin Park and playing her favorite “go wild” game. Will was communicative throughout and sent lots of photos while we were away for 5 days. The meet and greet was really reassuring, too, especially since this was our first time leaving Alma. Highly recommended. Alma is already asking when she can visit Will and Luna again.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alison! It was our first time leaving our 14 week old puppy and to say we were nervous and emotional would be an understatement. Alison sent us numerous pictures and kept in contact often. We were so at ease about being away knowing our puppy was loved and cared for. I am beyond grateful that I now know Birdie has a safe place to go whenever the need arises! Thank you Alison for treating Birdie like she was part of the family.”
“Argos had a great time with Heather and her family. He is high energy and enjoyed the company of other dogs and playing lots of ball in the large fenced yard. He had a great time, and Heather kept me updated through my travels!”

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!

There are 1,328 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kensington. About 92% 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.

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
