“Sarah is a dream! Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. Sarah was super communicative, friendly, and kind, and instantly bonded with Honey—it was comforting knowing I was leaving her in great and capable hands. Sarah sent regular updates and pictures and left my home in more than perfect condition. I not only knew that Honey was being well taken care of but also loved the whole time! Sarah felt like an instant part of the family, she’s the absolute best!”

“Areana is the best dog and cat sitter one could book. We trust her 100% and she’s stayed at our house a few times so far for multi-day. She treats our pets and home as if they were her own. Our pets LOVE when she comes over since they know they’re about to be spoiled with attention, pets and walks. 6/5 stars!”
“Makaylah was great for Marcus. I really appreciated that she stuck to his puppy routine while I was gone so that he right away felt comfortable and safe with her. Even the staff in the front office of my building remarked how happy Marcus looked whenever they saw her coming in and out of the building with him on walks. She also went the extra mile and washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left. I will definitely request her for Marcus again!”

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals throughout my life, learning to train cats and dogs on my own. I’m also familiar with exotic pets such as pythons and bearded dragons. I can comfortably administer different kinds of medications to most animals, including oral liquids and pills, sub-Q and IM injections, and topicals. Currently I am available as a full-time pet sitter for house-stays and drop-ins. I often sit for multiple houses at once, doing house-stays for one client and drop-ins for 1-3 others depending on the services and times needed per client. When I meet an animal for the first time, my priority is gaining their trust. I spend time casually observing so I can take note of their personality and physical forms of communication, but I don’t get too close or move too quickly until I’ve given the animal a chance to take me in as well. Once trust is established, we can move on to wearing leashes and harness, medication routines, playing, etc.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kensington is $57

Holy cow, Rebecca is amazing. She always takes such good care of my husky Stevie and is perfect at dealing with the energy and attitude that my dog throws at her. Stevie can get very anxious when I leave her behind, but I can rest assured that she’s not missing me when Rebecca comes to stay. On this fateful stay, Stevie got sick and was having accidents all over the apartment. Rebecca was such a trooper and helped my girl through her sickness, while also cleaning and taking care of my apartment and furniture. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and even ran out to buy supplies. When things were looking a little dicey, she consulted me before taking Stevie to my vet, and got me on the phone so I could talk to the vet. She took detailed notes and explained the meds back to me when I came home. I can’t imagine having anyone else take care of my dog after the lengths Rebecca went to. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough, she was so gracious and kind to me and my dog throughout the entire poop storm. Thank you a million times over!!!
Jovelle was absolutely fantastic. She sent twice‑daily updates with great photos, which kept me completely at ease while I was away. Loki looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for in every single check‑in. Her communication was consistent, thoughtful, and reliable. When I got home, my apartment was in excellent shape — clean, organized, and exactly how I left it. It’s clear Jovelle takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again.
Ellen was wonderful with my senior dog, Reuben! He has quite a few quirks and can be a little particular, so I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was with him. She took the time to understand his routine and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was out of the country. I came home to a happy pup and felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Ellen for both walks and pet sitting!
Lauren was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Lizzie and Archie. Lizzie has an ear infection and was testy but Lauren just stayed the course and Lizzie warmed up by the end of the day. Lauren even gave her her medicine. She’s a responsible young woman and I will definitely call on her again.
Darina was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with Petunia for multiple nights and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. My biggest priority was knowing that Petunia was safe, happy, and well cared for, and Darina went above and beyond. She sent two incredibly detailed check-ins every day with plenty of pictures, kept our very active and energetic pup entertained, and made sure she got long walks to match her energy. She also watered our plants and even helped with our laundry, which was such a thoughtful surprise. We came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. We would absolutely trust Darina with Petunia again!
Jess is wonderful! Not only did she take great care of our boys, she went above and beyond to clean the house before she left - even washing the bathmat and cleaning the toilet. I came home to two very happy pets and a spotless house. Jess is also a great communicator and sent pictures every day. We will definitely book again!
Grace was wonderful- she stayed with my pup during our 10 day travel and took great care of her! Grace made her feel comfortable right away, took her on walks, played and snuggled. Our pup loved spending time with Grace! She left our home in perfect condition and had great communication. We’ll definitely re-book with Grace anytime we need!
We seriously cannot thank Yui enough. She was so flexible with our plans changing right before a huge life event and was so caring and kind to our sweet cat as he’s faced some health challenges. We always know when we’re gone, we’re leaving him in the very best hands. We absolutely love Yui and would highly highly recommend her to anyone who has pet sitting needs!!
Dawn & Sarah are a gift! They stayed with Gus for a whole week and provided daily updates to include cute stories and photos about Gus while we were away. They took such care of our home and we are blessed to have them as part of our community. Thank you for taking care of our furbaby!
Leilana really helped me out when I was in a bind trying to find last minute care for my recently adopted pet. She was very patient and sweet with her which allowed me to leave my pet for the first time and for over 2 hrs. It was a major achievement for us. Very grateful for her care and good communication.
Did a wonderful job last minute pet sitting my boys. I got lots of updates and Olivia was really communicative. When issues arose like their food running out, she really stepped up to make my pets more comfortable. Would absolutely use her again and recommend her services to others!
Emily was amazing!!! Our dog can be a little particular and has trouble with other dogs which can be a challenge in the city but Emily handled her perfectly, sent us plenty of updates and pictures and put our minds at ease! She was very responsive and despite our request being very last minute, she saved the day for us!
