“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Diana and her family took wonderful care of our Gus and provided lots of regular updates during his stay. They treated him like their own and he was very relaxed and happy when we came home.”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Sonia was fantastic with Murray and was extremely warm and understanding throughout his stay. She also sent the best dog-sitting pictures of anyone we've booked with and it shows how much she cares.”
“Cal and Kelly took great care of our baby girl Rosie. Lots of pics and videos and overall excellent communication throughout the process. She had a great time and we were very confident that she was safe and well cared for.”
“Both of my dogs truly enjoyed their stay with Melissa. They were well cared for and she provided ample updates. I definitely will be working with her again to care for my pups.”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“I felt at ease the whole time I was away from my dog, I received photos and videos daily, which really made me feel comfortable with being away for so long. When I returned home my dog was calm and was clearly well taken care of.”
“Alejandro is a wonderful sitter. He was the perfect companion for our timid, finicky miss Maddie. Maddie has a tough time eating and Alejandro was patient and worked with her to make her comfortable enough to eat. He sent wonderful pictures and communicated well while we were away. We we sure she was in good hands and enjoyed our vacation worry free. She was in great spirits when we picked her up and we could tell she enjoyed her stay. We will definitely contact Alejandro again whenever we need a sitter.”
“We love Roseline and Zeus! Our dog was in such good company with Roseline’s own pup, and was so spoiled by Roseline! We got photo and video updates every day, and appreciated Roseline’s patience with our dog’s quirks and energy.”
“Sandy had a wonderful time at Adva's house. She went on lots of walks and played outside in their big backyard. The whole family was warm and loving towards Sandy. Adva emailed us pictures and was great about communicating with us.”
“Chad and Regina are the best dog sitters I've ever had! They always take amazing care of my pup, and I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters.”
“Thomas was an absolutely amazing and wonderful sitter for our little pup. We’re also so worried about leaving her with a sitter because she suffers from horrible anxiety and is so fearful of a lot of things (new people included), but from all the pictures that Thomas had sent us, it seemed like our little pup was able to quickly make a home and feel at peace for the duration of the sit. Besides being a good sitter for our fearful pup, Thomas was also very flexible and responsive. We had booked him so last minute, and we couldn’t get home in time due to the recent snow storm. As anxious as we were about these problems, Thomas was great and alleviated a lot of our stress by accepting and kindly taking care of our pup for even longer than intended. Highly recommend! And we hope to book him again sometime in the future!”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”
“I have a great feeling of peace, knowing that my Marcel is being cared for by Elisabeth. She is attentive, loving and gives great care to our dog Marcel. Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.”

“This is the second time I have used Hyunjung. She is awesome and takes such amazing care of my fur babies. I never have to worry when she is taking care of them. I will continue to use her in the future.”
“Khadija was very communicative, flexible, and followed all care instructions. She provided daily pictures and videos during the check-in, so I never felt nervous about being away from my cat for an extended period. My cat absolutely adored spending time with her!”
“Rebecca did great with our cats! She was so patient and kind with our shy kitty who also needs medicine, and was able to troubleshoot administration when things didn't go exactly to plan. Our girls will be excited to see her again in the future ❤️”
“Ambar did an excellent job of taking care of Josie. In addition to feeding her, she always makes time to play with her, which we really appreciate. She also provides detailed updates, which are always so helpful and reassuring. We highly recommend Ambar!”
“Helene did a wonderful job taking care of Chester and Kate! She followed all care instructions and spend extra time visiting with them. Helene provided excellent communication and sent pictures of the kitties during each visit. In addition, she took in the mail, ran the dishwasher and took out the trash. Thank you for a job well done, Helene!”

“Jana was my first experience with a rover sitter and I could not be more happy about it! She was really communicative about everything. She made a checklist for everything she needed to do for each visit and was really prepared. She also sent photo updates of my kitties and let me know every time she was with them. Jana also went above and beyond and made the kittens a toy for them to enjoy (so sweet!!) which really shows how much she cared about my kitties [and animals in general!] She took time to play with them and give them attention :) Jana made me feel so much better about having left my cats alone for a few days and I would book her again and I definitely recommend her services!”
“Ri housesat and took care of our very social cat while we were away for several days. Ri took great care of our kitty, communicated and sent photos, and left the house in perfect order. We highly recommend Ri!”
“Ilana took excellent care of my cat, Mal, while I was out of town for vacation. She is highly communicative and takes care of your pet like they’re her own, and provides thorough updates.”
“Drew was great with our kitties! They were happy and well cared for. Drew was always excellent with communication, and he even went above and beyond in care by making sure everything was very clean in the process (without needing to even be asked). We are very happy with the service he provided and we will definitely book again in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kensington
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: You name it, I probably have lovingly done it. From medical care, giving shots, playing, training, elder pet care, cleaning ears, wiping paws, giving baths, walking and playing with super high energy pets, etc., I can handle it. I specialize in anxious dogs. I get that there is a formula for making them feel safe and I can follow it to a T, plus I have a lot of tools and tricks. I also specialize in elder care of pets. Beyond medical needs which I am comfortable doing, I also have tons of ways of engaging elders pets that can no longer play nor walk like they used. I am loving, lead with empathy, and NEVER strike nor yell at a pet. That should go without saying, but I like to be very clear. I can assert leadership for pets that need it. I can handle any size pet and I get that each pet has their own needs, so don't worry if your dog has a long list of things they cannot do or a list of needs. I get it! I am currently working part time from home and my breaks and hours are flexible, so I am always available. Very occasionally I work outside the home for no more than 5 hours at a time. I care for pets in my home and at their home as well. I have a big back yard that is fenced in on all sides. I go outside with the pets most of the time and engage and play with them. I don't just let them out. There are 2 people parks near my home (one well shaded and great for hot summer days) that are great for walking to. I find dogs like to people watching too. I think giving pups time to sniffy snoop around is important. I even have a backpack with a mesh screen "window" for a cat as some cats love walks. In your home, I follow their routine to give them a sense of security, play, train, and introduce new toys and tricks if your pup is up for that. With cats I can read their cute little faces pretty well and give them what they want: play, pets, scratches, and/or, for example, introduce them to new smells to engage their minds.
“My dog is very happy at Natalia's and with the company of other dogs there. She is happily going to Natalia, which is the biggest sign for me that Natalia's place is a good environment for dogs.”

“We are so thankful to have found Paul! He excepted our booking very last minute and was so accommodating. Ebony doesn’t always do well in new places, but I think he would have preferred to stay with Paul even longer! Lots of walks, lots of pictures and updates. I especially appreciate how confident Paul is with socializing Ebony with other dogs, something I am always nervous about. Will definitely use Paul as a sitter in the future!”
“Felisa gave Pearl excellent day care in her home on a holiday weekend. My dog loves to be outdoors and she had the opportunity to play in the backyard and to take long walks.”
“Verde had a wonderful time with Rene. When we pulled up the next day she couldn’t wait to get out of the car and greet them. They kept me well updated. We’re definitely using them again.”
“I normally don’t leave reviews, but it’s my sincere pleasure to sing Anna’s praises. I had a recurring daycare booking for my Irish Setter two days a week, and Anna was wonderful. Anna was reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs. My dog was always excited to see her and came home happy and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’m so grateful we found her and would happily recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter. Five Stars all around!!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Galen. Our dog Harvey got along well with their dog Ginger and he was well tuckered out after a full day spent here! Could not reccomend more highly, we will be coming back again!”
“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve cared for many of my own dogs & dogs of friends, gf’s, etc. since the late 1980s. I’m a long time dog owner and dog lover, who is also a professional and former small business owner - who is mature, responsible, and serious. On the professional side, I have a combination of organizational/business management and basic sales/marketing & customer service training. I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood. I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.
About: Hi everyone! I have always loved animals and have years of experience taking care of my fur babies and friends and family pets as well. I’ll do my best to make sure your pets feel right at home! (NO BARKING DOGS ALLOWED) I am available for boarding, day care, house sitting and drop in visits. I can look after multiple cats at a time, two small dogs at a time, one medium dog at a time and one large dog at a time. I update my schedule as necessary. I am always excited to meet your dog/cat! I always want to make sure the pets are comfortable and properly cared for. I will follow the instructions of the pet owners to create the best experience for them.

“Teffni was great! She was always on time, friendly, and my dog Chai was so comfortable with her. Chai was always excited to go with Teffni and always came back good and tired out.”
“Ri has been so great with our shy dog, Millie. Ri was able to get Millie out for a walk on the first try, which was very impressive, and has been consistent and reliable since! Thank you, Ri!”
“Jana took wonderful care of our three rescue dogs! They each have unique personalities, and two of them are take time to warm up with new people but they each ended up loving Jana. Will definitely book again for our next trip. Thank you Jana!!”
About: Looking for a reliable, adaptable friend to visit your dog midday? I've got you! And I'd love to meet your dog! My dog passed away in 2021 and I've been looking for opportunities to make some new furry friends ever since! I've played and walked and taken care of many dogs of many breeds and sizes at various levels of training. If you have specific training or behavioral goals for your dog, I will be sure to incorporate that into my visits. Currently, I work at my full-time job from 3:30am-noon and can be available as soon as 12:30pm or as soon as it takes me to travel to your pet's location. I am very flexible when it comes to the specifics in how you and your pet would like our visits to work! We could go for walks on a specific path, play to exercise and deplete built up energy, or simply run around in the fenced-in backyard for potty time.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! I had my first dog, adopted from Dogs XL, in 2014. I love big dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. All breeds and types (with a preferred love for rescues!). I love learning the personalities of new animals, and learning their quirks and how they show their love. I just graduated from college and am currently looking for long-term employment. Due to only having part-time gigs right now, your animal will have frequent walks, supervised time outside, and pets. I am willing to be flexible in my schedule for home visits too, coming as frequently as desired. I have a fenced yard and no other animals in the house, but two parents, a brother, and myself (all pet lovers), so there will be lots of people to keep your animals company and play.

About: Hello! My name is Sylvia. I have several years of experience pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, although I’m open to all kinds of animals. Since my family does not currently have an animal to keep us company, I jump at every opportunity to walk, feed, and spend time with any pet. I am currently home for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play! I am also babysitting on the side, but my hours are very flexible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making sure the dogs feel safe and comfortable with plenty of attention and exercise while the owners are away. I understand every pet has unique habits and personality, so I try to stick to the routine they know.
“Amanda was great! We have a small, super friendly but high energy dog that will not sleep through the night unless she’s had enough exercise. Inanna slept through the night after just one 30 minute walk with Amanda. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Rosemery has been great for our walking needs. She is always flexible with scheduling and very attentive. Our dog is always excited for their walks. I will have Rosemery as my go-to for caring for my pup!”
About: I’ve had a dog for 12 years and family and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs and give them the proper care. I am playing in a summer baseball league and I work at a summer camp for 4 weeks so during that time I’ll only be available on weekends but when that isn’t happening I am mostly available during the day. I routinely feed and walk my dog at home and go to my friend’s home when they are on vacation to feed and let their dog out.
“Amelia is the best!!! She’s been so very patient with our dog, Leah, who has major anxiety issues. She’s always prompt and timely in her communication. Leah just adores her and that makes us very happy.”

I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!”

We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Maria and her family are lovely. They were quick to respond, very welcoming, and took excellent care of our girls for a last minute stay. Their dog, Chocolate, was a delight and very friendly with our girls. I'd recommend a stay here any day!”
“Derek is an exceptional sitter and certified dog whisperer! My pup Charlie immediately felt at home with him and his own furry friend Terp! He sent me frequent but not pestering updates and check in photos, so I never felt I had to worry about anything. Would recommend and book again!”
“I’d definitely book with Christian again. She took great care of my dog. Sent pictures everyday and was very attentive during my dog’s stay. Sometimes with other Rover stays, my dog acts differently or shy for a few days. My dog was in perfect spirits after her stay with Christian.”
