Top rated Kensington doggy day care sitters

“Serena was amazing with communication throughout the day, messages and pictures, and super great to deal with. Kai came back home tired and happy from a fun day! Super recommended!”


“Sarah was an amazing sitter! Took great care of our dog. Our buddy had so much fun playing with her dog. Kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Shared some her food with our boy and super accommodating when we were running late to pick him up. Definitely recommend and gladly have her watch our pup again.”


“Quynh made our first rover experience so easy! Quick to respond and accommodated our early drop off time. It was our puppy’s first time alone with someone new and she loved it! Quynh made sure Britney got enough exercise and rest and we’re soo grateful! Will definitely be booking her again!”


“I have one of those dogs that can open doors, turn on the radio and open her crate. She’s just so independent and intelligent that most sitters are not up for that kind of challenge. Kiara is not one who is easily overwhelmed by all that. She was amazing with both of my dogs while with the loss of a family member. Desi (GSD, cattle dog and pittie) and Biggie smalls (old English bulldog) are in love with her. She is responsible, prompt, compassionate, observant and most importantly loves dogs. I feel blessed to have her watch my kids. Every time I started to wonder how they were doing I got a video or a picture or just a message saying what they were up to.”


“Yelian was a perfect sitter! We had a last minute evening night out planned and she quickly responded, took great care of our special needs furry baby, and was outgoing, professional and accommodating.”


“I’ve used Michelle and fiancé a couple times to watch Angel and definitely will be using again in the the future. Super quick to reply to messages and sends photos and videos throughout the stay. They were attentive to Angels needs and she always comes back happy. Definitely recommend using them if you ever need!”


“Christie and Drew took the best care of our puppy, David! They were incredibly communicative throughout the day, sending the cutest pictures and updates, and made us feel so comfortable. They were responsive, flexible, and very easy to work with. We will definitely book their services again in the near future! Thanks for everything!”


“Klaire was great with our puppy Penny! We appreciated good communication ahead and throughout the day. Penny was totally comfortable and happy ☺️ 10/10 would recommend Klaire!!”


“John was welcoming and genuinely cared for Tico, making him feel at home and ensured he had plenty of play time. He checked in when he had questions about how to feed Tico and sent many photos and fun updates. Loved having John care for our pup!”


About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels including seniors and high energy breeds. I have a gentle, patient approach and understand dog body language well. I’m also the proud owner of a well trained golden retriever, so I know how to manage play, feeding, and rest routines. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's walks, feedings, or just spending quality time, I'm available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s needs. Weekends and evenings are open too, making me a reliable option for both regular care and last-minute requests. I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I follow any feeding, medication, and walk routines closely and take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. In my home, pets have a calm, secure environment with plenty of space to relax or play. I keep a close eye on interactions and make sure pets are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. You can count on consistent updates and total transparency while your pet is with me.

About: I've always loved dogs (some would same more than people). I became the go to sitter for my friends group over the last few years and love it so much, I'd like to expand. Experienced with young and old dogs, small to big. Patient, kind, and caring with all types. I work from home pretty much full time so schedule and timing are rarely an issue. Single with no kids, weekends are usually free as well I do currently live in an apartment building, but the building has a small dog run within the building, as well as a dog washing station. I can care for your dog in your home if you would prefer. Dogs are allowed on furniture and bed in my house, I have no issues there.

“Iliana was really sweet and took great care of my pup. When I picked her up I could see how happy she was and that she had a great time playing with Luna. Would book again! Thank you!”


About: I understand that every dog has their own story. I once cared for Bella, a rescue terrified of loud sounds. Through soft reassurance, short confidence-building walks, and trust-building games, she found her smile again. I’m trained in puppy basics, senior care, and calming techniques for anxious pets. Many dogs get misunderstood as aggressive for their size or barking habits. I prefer understanding the underlying issue that makes a dog nervous and I patiently help them overcome those. I helped my friend’s very anxious dog Ralphie feel reduced anxiety in 2 weeks, when I figured out his anxiety stemmed from abandonment issues. My goal is to give your dog not just care, but comfort, love, and a safe space where they feel truly at home. I work from home and can accommodate urgent requests. I am an early morning person, wake up at 6 am and go to bed by 10-10.30 pm. I am working on my Arielist skills and thus spend most of my weekend working towards getting better at it at home. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a safe, pet-proofed environment where they’re treated like family. I maintain secure gates, remove any hazards, and provide cozy spaces for rest and relaxation. I use premium quality dog wet food and quality treats. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime indoors and in a fenced outdoor area, with plenty of enrichment toys and cuddle breaks. I keep fresh water available at all times, follow each dog’s feeding and exercise schedule, and use positive reinforcement to make them feel confident and loved. My goal is for every pup to leave my home happy, healthy, and excited to come back.

About: Hi there! My name is Jennifer, and I’m passionate about providing dogs with a home away from home experience. I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, Size, and personalities. Whether your pup loves to play fetch, take long walks, or snuggles on the couch, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I offer a clean, dog friendly home with a fully fenced yard for outdoor fun. Your dog will enjoy plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention every day. I also send daily updates with photo and videos to keep you connected! I work from home with flexible hours, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I can also accommodate early drop/offs and late pickup if needed. I treat every pet like family! In my home, they enjoy a safe, clean space with lots of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care. I follow each pet’s usual routine closely, including meals, walks and meds if needed.

“TJ was great! He stepped up to help me out with daycare on very short notice. Was communicative and made me feel comfortable leaving my little guy with him and his sweet dog Roxy. Would definitely use TJ again. Thank you!!”
