“Kerry is clearly a true dog lover. She took such excellent care of our senior girl Winnie while we were out of town! Kerry gave Winnie meds, eye drops, carried Winnie up and down her stairs (not an easy feat, Winnie weighs 45lbs!), and gave her so much love and affection. She sent us photos and detailed updates several times a day. We will be planning all of our vacations around when Kerry is available from now on so we know Winnie will be in good hands when we’re out of town!”

“Our dog Clover had a great time with Alexis! She was super attentive and sent us update photos and videos throughout Clover’s stay. Would definitely book again!”

“Kristina does such a great job with Oli, who clearly loves hanging out at her home while we are away. Kristina sends lots of pictures of her long daily walks and playtime at home.”

“We were so glad that we booked with Rhea! She sent updates, photos or short videos each day, and she didn't hesitate to write to us with questions. She has a clean apartment, too, and she clearly enjoyed taking care of our dog! In addition, her dog is also a sweet guy. We appreciate that she doesn't take too many dogs at one time. We definitely recommend her!!”

“Eric and Raz were wonderful!! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with them. Highly recommend and hope to use them again the next time we’re in Philly!”

“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”

“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“Ginger was the best! She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times as my schedule was a little up in the air. She took Puddle for an hour walk and sent fun pictures and updates throughout the visit. I 100% recommend Ginger!”

“Joy was great with my dog! Very responsive and sent me lots of pictures. She also assisted with pick up and drop off, and my dog came home happy. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. :)”

About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).
“Our pup doesn’t warm up to others quickly, but she was going to Ariana and Andrew for scratches within a day or so! They couldn’t have made it any easier and took great care of our girl. Would definitely book with them again!”

“I highly recommend Shakira as a great dog sitter! My dog was so, so happy with her! She is a kind, dedicated, attentive dog sitter; she really took note and care of my dog's specific needs Also, she sent me updates and photos of my dog throughout her stay. I will definitely book her again.”

“Derek was fantastic. Super communicative and it was clear that he truly loved spending time with our pup. That means the world to us. We will definitely book him again!!”

“I would like to just say thank you. This was my first time boarding my son dog and was anxious beyond words. She made sure my pup was loved and cared for. I was kept updated daily and some of the pictures she took will be kept forever that’s how happy he was. Tofu came home very content and healthy. Kanade went above and beyond with my pup and I am beyond grateful.”

“Nick boarded Bella and did an amazing job! From the pick up to the drop off this experience was great. Each day Nick sent me a daily update along with many photos. He put all reservations to ease with the updates. Bella returned happy and ready to go with Nick when he dropped her off. She even stood at the window looking for him. I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!”

“I can't say enough nice things about Renee! This was my first time leaving Billie with a sitter and she made it such an awesome experience. She asked great questions to get to know Billie's needs and preferences and sent cute updates, even! What a huge difference from a kennel. Billie would be stressed and upset and wanted to be held when I would take her there, but when I picked up Billie from Renee's she seemed really happy!! Renee is a lovely person and a great sitter!”

Kensington dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our second time boarding with Emma. She was fantastic caring for my dog for 3 weeks across two boards. The first time I had to pivot after another sitter canceled last minute and she was flexible for a meet-and-greet before my dog’s stay. My dog was so happy to see Emma again! Emma communicated promptly, is incredibly sweet and keeps me at ease with regular updates, photos and thoughtful questions. We can’t wait to board with her next!

Such a great experience with Christine (& Dan) who watched our pup for a weekend! Incredibly responsive and clear with communication, sent photos throughout the stay, and most importantly our dog came back seeming as happy as ever. Very grateful and would highly recommend!
