Top rated Kensington house sitters

“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”


“Great dog sitter/house sitter! Lauren went above and beyond what we could have hoped for, she looked after our plants, and vacuumed before we got home, on top of caring for our dog! She’s great, very communicative, and a great all around dog/house sitter!! Will definitely use her services again!”


“Wow, Noa was an amazing sitter for our little guy, sharing very thorough and thoughtful updates! She is very personable, anticipated the needs of our little one, and went above & beyond to make sure he was okay and felt comfortable! We will definitely be asking Noa back to hang with our pup in the future!! ❤️”

“Riva did an amazing job watching my fur babies. She went above and beyond with communication, I came back to a very clean house and followed the feeding and walking schedule perfectly.”


“Stefan did a great job giving our pups lots of attention and sending us regular updates. We definitely felt that the dogs were well taken care of and would book him again.”


“Quanece & Malik are awesome! They are so helpful, go above and beyond and most importantly super loving and patient with my anxious pup. I am so grateful for their love and care that I know I can rely on when I’m not there. They are very easy to work with, flexible and communicative. Cannot recommend their services enough! Thank you!”


“Areana cared for our cat and dog at our home while we were away for a long weekend. Our dog can be challenging as he has high anxiety and leash aggression outside of the home, but Areana handled both our pets with ease. We were able to really enjoy our vacation knowing they were so well taken care of! We received regular updates a few times per day to let us know how they were doing. Highly recommend - we will be using Areana in the future for sure!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog I meet. I've grown up around dogs, caring for my family's for the past 7 years and helping with neighbors' and relatives' dogs since I was a kid. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes, whether it’s walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I also helped train our dog when she was a puppy, so I understand how to set boundaries, reinforce good behavior, and keep them safe, especially around food and new environments. I'm currently in Physical Therapy school, which gives me a flexible schedule—I’m available most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. This flexibility allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine and be consistently available for your dog’s needs. I like to keep things easy and comfortable for pets, whether I’m in your home or they’re staying with me. I stick to their routine as much as possible—meals, walks, play, whatever they’re used to so they feel right at home. I make sure they get lots of attention, stay safe, and have a good time while you’re away!

“Princess is fantastic! She took such great care of both Blu and Leo, even with some changes to their routine. She’s always flexible, super attentive, and makes sure they’re both happy and comfortable. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”


“Tasha was a great communicator and took amazing care of Penny! She was incredibly responsive to messages and kept me updated while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Alexandra took such great care of my baby! She sent regular updates and photos and videos. My cat is shy, and she felt so safe with Alexandra that she really came out of her shell. I highly recommend her care for your pets! ❤️”



“I cannot express how great Brenda was with my pup Tiger Lily. In a last minute cancelation, Brenda picked up this two-week house sitting job two days before I left to travel and she adjusted and rolled with the punches so swiftly. I would 100% recommend and use her services again, the best sitter I’ve had on here yet!”


“Olivia took great care of my dog! She sent update photos throughout the stay and was great with communication. She followed all of our instructions and left the house very clean. We returned to a very happy pup. Would definitely recommend Olivia!”
