“Daniel was so accommodating with a late request for our senior dog. Our dog can be quite anxious, especially when we are out for a while. Daniel made sure he was well taken care of and our boy was calm and happy when we got home. I highly recommend Daniel to care for your pets!”
About: My first “job” as a kid was walking and letting out my neighbors’ dogs after school. From there, I started working in horse barns, managed a few barns, and then eventually became an equine massage practitioner full time. At the same time, I continued to train, compete with, and enjoy LOTS of hikes with my own personal dog. I worked as an assistant dog trainer for several years at a positive-reinforcement based facility, and gained a wealth of knowledge from the experience. I’ve used positive reinforcement training with dogs, cats, horses, rats, and even birds of prey! I have raised and trained a number of puppies/dogs for friends and family members, and have experience fostering as well. I’ve cared for and/or lived with dogs, cats, birds, rodents, exotic animals, horses, and other farm animals. While I am comfortable with any and all breeds of dogs, I especially love herding breeds! I am self-employed, and generally have a pretty flexible schedule with some notice! I am able to accommodate mornings, mid day, or afternoon/evening check-in’s. I have availability weekdays as well as weekends. I am happy to go over whatever your individual dog’s routine is in order to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible. Whether that’s making sure they stay in a fenced in yard, or going over the training tools that you use, I am more than willing to make sure that your dog is happy and that you have peace of mind knowing that they are sticking to a routine that they are comfortable and familiar with!
“Adele was great. Was there when I asked her to be. Took care of the dogs and fed the cats. And she came on Thanksgiving. Reliable and friendly. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Garrett was thorough and responsive when taking care of Pecan (shorthair brown tabby) and communicating with me. From working with other pet sitters, I learned I need someone who appreciates the individual quirks of cats, and Garrett seems to do exactly that. I will definitely leave my Peekster in his capable hands next time I'm away.”
“Liliana is an awesome sitter! She came through when I needed a last minute sitter to look after my three cats. She was extremely communicative while we were out and followed all instructions clearly which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely call on Liliana when we need a sitter in the future.”
About: animals have always been my passion. i have always had animals growing up. i have been responsible for them and training them. i am going to school to be a vet tech, and currently work at a vet clinic as a kennel/daycare attendant. I am currently working part time and have a lot of flexibility in between my schedule! I would be available any times on my free days! I am open to doing check ins, walks, and staying for the day to watch them when needed! I can be very flexible and accommodating with any pet needs!
About: Hello! My name is Sandi Cote and I’m more than willing to watch over any pets you may have. I have been a dog walker for 4 1/2 years at the NHSPCA and have always been passionate about caring for all animals. My schedule is pretty flexible; I should be able to watch your pets any day of the week. I’m available to care for your furry friend as long as needed. I can walk, feed and play with them. I have taken dogs to my home but I’m currently unavailable to do that at this time. I have a dog of my own who is not good with other animals. Please message me with any questions or concerns, I’m happy to answer around the clock. At this time I now can accept dogs into my home.
“So nice to have the peace of mind that our girl would be shown some love and given company and a good walk while we were a couple hours away. Felicia was a great communicator and made us very comfortable leaving our pup with someone new for the first time. We would love to have her back to care for our girl again!”
About: I’m a single Nana no current pets I miss the puppy snuggles and kisses . I have had to pill my dog kids in the past so I’m familiar with that as well I work full time 8-4 . Work is in Manchester Nh home is in Hampton Nh My weekends are free. I wake early and stay up late . I’m able to offer potty breaks and mid day local check-ins .

About: Animals make me so happy. I will fall in love with your fur baby and care for them like they were my own. My educational background is a BS in Social Work and (almost) an MS in Psychology. I recently left my full time office job and have free time before I start my next chapter in the summer of 2027. I have mostly an open schedule right now, until May of 2027. I am free during the morning, afternoon, and evening. I can do weekend help too. I prefer caring for your pets in your home. I have a blended household (myself, grandmother, and my husband) with 3 cats who would not appreciate doggy playdates. I also believe they will be more comfortable in their own familiar space.
“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!”
About: I currently work as a supervisor at a doggy daycare and have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I also have personal experience caring for special needs and mobility-impaired dogs, including medication administration and bladder expression. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every pet like family. I work mornings and spend a lot of time caring for my own rescue babies, so I currently offer pet care visits between 3 PM–9 PM to ensure every animal gets my full attention and care. I know how important trust is when it comes to someone caring for your pets, because my own babies are my entire world too. I believe building a bond with each pet is just as important as meeting their physical needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with patience, attention, and kindness while keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.
About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!
About: I have a weiner dog named Benny whom I raised and trained since he was a puppy. I’ve cared for puppies post-neuter/spay surgery as well as walking and caring for injured dogs. I have experience administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ve housesat for friends to care for their cats and have lived with and cared for a cat for over 3 years. I love animals and I’m passionate about their well-being and quality of life. I know every animal is unique, and needs to be approached with that in mind. I’m currently working part time in the evenings for a couple hours so I have early morning to late afternoon available. I also have availability on weekends. I’ve spent time with many different kinds of pets and I feel confident that after spending a little time with yours, I’ll understand how they want to be approached and cared for. I raised my dog since he was a puppy and took part in his training so I feel confident with dogs of any age. I’ve spent many years around cats and know their mannerisms and the quiet language that they use to communicate. I’m meticulous and careful when walking dogs since I raised mine in NYC; I understand how to keep their attention and be firm when necessary to keep them safe and attentive on their walks. I want you to come home to a pet that is happy and healthy, above all.
“Stephanie is an amazing sitter! She watched our two cats for a little over a week, and did such a great job. We received text updates and photos every day, and even our bashful cat came out to see her and play, which is quite a compliment! She played with them daily and always made sure they had their "dinner" on time. We'll definitely use Stephanie again and really recommend her. Thank you!”
About: My schedule is very specific working around work shifts! I’m very communicative and we can work something out that is best for both of us!! I have both personal and professional experience with cats and dogs. I’ve worked with dogs during my time at Essex Tech. I have also have basic experiences with small animals such as rabbits, birds, and reptiles. During my time there I learned the basics of training, grooming and overall behavior. This all led me to have a better grasp at caring for dogs and what their needs are. I have my own cat named Fasa and a dog named Summer, so I have personal experience with them! He’s the buff kitty in my photos! I have also worked at a doggy daycare located in Salem called Walk A Pup where they strive to provide a safe and enriching environment for the dogs in their care. During those six months, I not only walked dogs but also did basic obedience and evening check-ins at client's homes. I was also briefly a bather at Petsmart where watching behavior is a big aspect. Currently I work there caring for the animals we sell. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified. Working part-time fills in a lot of my time and my schedule is often on a week-by-week basis. My availability varies, so it’s best for you to just message me to find out if my schedule works with yours! I know leaving your pet to a stranger is very nerve-wracking and scary. However, I like to reassure you that because of my experience, I am equipped to make sure that your pet has the care they need while you are away for work, vacation, or any other situation. I am more than happy to update you as many times are you need me to. I am also certified in Pet CPR and First aid and have a car that allows me to drive your pet somewhere if something were to happen.

We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker for Bodie! He is dependable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond in the care he provides. It is clear that he genuinely loves animals and treats Bodie as if he were his own. Knowing Bodie is in such good hands gives us tremendous peace of mind. He always comes home happy, well exercised, and excited for his next walk. The attention, care, and affection he receives make all the difference. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and dedicated. If you’re looking for an amazing dog walker who will care for your dog like family, we highly recommend Ty!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kensington is $14 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,290 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kensington. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
