Dog Boarding in Kensington

Luna had such a great stay with Lucia! She provided lots of photos, videos, and updates. I can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches, and I would definitely book with her again!

We have a very spoiled 9 year old Welsh Terrier and had a big family event to attend to. I found Ashish on Rover and booked a stay for Lola our Welshie. Ashish is warm and welcoming and has a great open yard for pups. He was nice enough to send photos of her stay and was good enough to extend her stay a few hours. Highly recommended.

Luna is a wonderful dog sitter! Cosmo, my dog was thrilled and happy to have stayed with her and her lovely dog, Jim! Jim was also the perfect fur host, showing Cosmo where they should play and that it was okay to run around and play together. Luna has a large and lovely yard and Cosmo enjoyed the serenity of the yard and home. Cosmo can be shy and aloof, and he does not react well to negative energy. But, he warmed up to Luna because of her thoughtful and positive approach to care giving. I trusted her to take good care of him. And, she did! Cosmo can be a velcro dog as he is with us practically 24/7, so it eased our anxiety to know that she was there for him. Thank you Luna for taking good care of Cosmo. Much aloha, Diane and Philip G.

Julie and Adam are terrific! So kind, personable, thoughtful, and relaxed. They have a lovely fully fenced backyard where a dog can explore with lots of garden items to sniff. They took time to ask questions and are just so easy to interact with. Kona had a great time, which means I got to have a great time too. Thank you!

This was our second stay with Maria, and my dog was excited to see her again. He ran straight into her house and immediately rolled over to get some pets from her. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care.

Patrick did a great job with Roxy. She has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day as well as pills that she takes daily. We didn't have to worry about her at all. He also sent us picture updates every day. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone. Thank you, again!

Mariola took excellent care of our dogs while we were away. I really appreciated hearing from her each day and all the photos she sent! We would absolutely call on her next time we need a sitter!

Danielle is fantastic! She took such amazing care of Indie and went above and beyond to make everything easy for me. I especially loved the updates she sent—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing Indie was happy, well cared for, and having a great time with her and her pups. On top of that, Danielle was incredibly accommodating, picking up and dropping off Indie in a pinch, which made my life so much easier. Couldn’t be more appreciative of her kindness and professionalism. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.

I had a weekend trip planned and sadly family and friends couldn't sit Aggie, though was recommended by a friend to try Rover. So with about a week before the trip, I wanted to find a neighbor that was communicative, responsive, had and has current experience with dogs, and is familiar with dog sitting. On a brief search, I found Marlene and Marlene's mom with lots of positive reviews and close by to me! I reached out, checked in a bit, and made arrangements for a pre-dog sit meeting for everyone to meet one another which gave me peace of mind. Marlene was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful. I appreciated the photos Marlene sent me during the weekend. Aggie's an older foster dog, and Marlene was quick to share some questions and concerns which we were able to figure out together on a brief phone call which I really appreciated. I'm new to Rover, and our conversation helped me to be communicative about Aggie's conditions as an elder dog, reassure Marlene, and to update Aggie's profile. I was happy to see Aggie when I picked her up and Marlene and Marlene's mom were very kind, thoughtful, and open about sharing the latest of Aggie's conditions. If you're in the east bay/Berkeley/Oakland/Emeryville area, I recommend Marlene and Marlene's mom!!

Catherine was amazing. She cared for our 7-month-old puppy, Cricket, for a whole week while we were away, and we felt completely at ease and new that she was in great hands. From when we first met her, it was clear that Catherine is a real dog person -- warm attentive and genuinely excited to spend time with Cricket. It was obvious that she truly cared about her and enjoyed having her. Her dog, Kizmet was also a sweet role model for Cricket. Catherine sent the cutest photos and videos of Kizmet and Cricket cuddling and napping together, along with daily updates from the dog park and their adventures. She sent photos, videos, and little notes every day, which really put me at ease knowing how happy and well cared for Cricket was. The day we came back we arrived home at 8:30 at night and she tired Cricket out with lots of park visits so she would be tired when we got home. And she even gave Cricket a bath before pickup! We’re so grateful to have found Catherine. Nothing better than truly feeling at ease when traveling knowing that your dog is in such loving hands. Thank you, Catherine! You're the best. We'll definitely be in touch again the next time we're away.

Kianna and her family took great care of Zoey in their home. Kianna sent updates and photos daily, so I knew that Zoey was having a good time whether she was playing at the park or snoozing in the sun. I would definitely board Zoey with Kianna again.

Luciana was exceptionally accommodating when I had changes to my travel itinerary. She was very easy to work with and provided great care for my girls.

Such a great Rover! Madeline was flexible and understanding with timing and made Louie feel at home right away! Definitely would book again :)

Angela was an amazing caregiver for our senior golden. She provided regular updates with photos and gave her lots of love. We hope to have her board our dog again!
