“Amanda was great with our three Husky’s. They are all blowing their coats and she did a great job keeping up with the flying fur. Our dogs were so calm and relaxed when we got home, she did a great job of keeping me updated and I didn’t have to worry about whether or not they were well cared for during our vacation!”

“My rescue dog Jack loves Marcy. Everything was taken care of while I was gone. She kept in touch with me and gave me a video od Jack that made me smile. I will definitely call on her again.”

“Erica was so flexible with my schedule! My animals loved her and even my cat who never comes out and visits people came to visit her! She made time to play with my dog to be sure he was stimulated and worn out. I would use her again.”

About: I grew up with dogs, so i have taken care of them my whole life. I have also helped out friends and family members with dog sitting. I am currently working part time, so i have plenty of free time during my day to take care of your animals. I can stop by frequently or house sit as well. I have two dogs and i take care of them by feeding them, letting them out, making sure they have water, walking them, etc. i am very good with animals, and enjoy spending time with them.

I have a very flexible schedule at work with most weekends and evenings off! I can be available during the mornings and afternoons as well! I can adapt to your needs! I live in a multi pet household and know that not all dogs (even the same breed) are the same! I will love your pets as if they were my own!
About: I’ve had 2+ dogs in my entire life. In my adult life I’ve had 2+ service dogs that travel with me. I am a critical care nurse who has taken pet CPR as far as safety. I have emergency meds as well. Luckily, I have a house with a fences in yard, animal friendly household with spare rooms and a heated/cooled garage/closed/secured garage for any kind of special separation needs (in heat/aggressive breeds/outside animals, etc). Currently off enjoying a break from work, .. . So as of now, my schedule is very flexible. My household/fenced backyard/garage, is sectioned off pretty nicely. So, I have a very flexible availability overall. I am very positive I can meet most requests/needs for boarding/grooming/daycare/etc. So just let me know! I have a three bedroom house with a fenced in backyard, doggie door, heated/cooled garage that is secure and closed off separate from the house with his own doggie door for added space.. is a very accommodating/adaptable layout also self-sufficient if need be, but I should be here the entire time
“Taylor was absolutely incredible and gave us the best thing possible while we were out of town: peace of mind. She is a kind, respectful, and easy to talk to! She kept in open communication every step of the way. She did not complain when there was an alarm issue on her last night here and she took care of our home as if it was her own. She was incredible with our sweet pup June and our two skittish bunnies. Taylor provided feedback about our animals during our trip and also sent updates and photos. June requires daily medication and a patient leader and Taylor handled her just as we would! Our house was in the same condition as when we left it and she took care of everything we asked and followed any directions or requests without issue. We really enjoyed meeting her and had utter peace of mind the moment we left. We would recommend Taylor to anyone and we definitely plan on reaching out to her for future trips and travel. June, Jackie, and Jerry loved her!”
“This is our second time using Mariah for a day trip and she is an excellent sitter. She genuinely cares for our dogs and treats them like her own. She has no problems administering winnie's medication and gives extra care to hope who has alot of fear issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a caring and sweet person to care for their pets.”

Also I have a very flexible schedule so it’s easy to book with me. I will make sure your pet is very well taken care of and happy. Also I will do late night if needed because I’m a nighttime person! I have a very flexible schedule I am available most days of the week and weekends. I love the outdoors so I am outside quite a bit anyway i would love to bring a pup along! I have a park very close to me as well as a walking trail that me and my dog pip frequent. I love the extra company on my walks and throughout my day! I can also come to your home if preferred!
About: My names Jessica, I have 3 dogs a beagle and a pit mix, a cat, and a rabbit of my own. As many know you can only have so many animals of your own. Which is why I would enjoy helping others care for their animals. And bonus, I get to see and interact with more animals. I had pets as a child and have had my dogs since they were puppies my oldest is ten, the youngest being 5. I worked while in nursing school so I know life gets busy and it’s nice to have a helping hand you can rely on to care for your animals. I’m a registered nurse and have been in nursing for 11 years. Although I have enjoyed nursing, doing some type of dog daycare, boarding or walking has always been a dream of mine. So allow me to love your pets as you do and help! Currently my schedule varies, but I work 2 or 3 12 hours shifts a week as a nurse. I have a fiancé, friend, and parents who have helped me with my animals during busy times or vacations. As for my own pets, my three dogs get fed morning and evening. My cat has an automatic feeder that portions her foods out because she has a sensitive stomach. My rabbit lives in his hutch and visits inside at times, he eats lots of veggies and his pellets. His favorite green is cilantro! Unlimited water for all the animals of course. When the weather allows I like to walk my dogs. In the summer I also enjoy taking my dogs on our boat and they enjoy it to the fullest. I am looking to offer pet sitting and walking. The pet sitting would include going to the clients home letting out, feeding, and playing with the animals twice per day, if any special circumstances we can discuss and potentially work something out, and also if an animal would require medication I can do that as well. I’m open to dogs, cats, and rabbits only because that is what I’m familiar with.

About: I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded with pets and animals. I grew up with three cats and a dog, had a few gerbals and hermit crabs, helped raise pythons, and get to enjoy dog kisses and and snuggles whenever I want from relative's pets. My grandparents live on a farm and love to help any of creatures us grandkids find. Animals are my passion! As a young entrepreneur trying to take my life and schedule into my own hands, Rover is the perfect way for pet owners to get thorough, compassionate care for their loved fur babies as well as help me attain more clients and doggo kisses for my already established pet sitting services. Looking forward to meeting and working with you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 238 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kensington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kensington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kensington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kensington. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
