“Sabrina took great care of my doggie while we were away during Thanksgiving. My little guy had a great time and made new friends. She shared lots of pics and videos while we were away. I will schedule another visit soon.”
“My pup always has a great time. I never have to worry because I know he’s well taken care of and he loves it there. We have had 3 visits so far and look forward to our next one.”
“Lynette & Vincent are great! This was my first time using River to trust my pup to someone. I could not have chosen a better sitter. Bucky stayed with Lynette and her family for 4 nights. I received pics and messages before I got home after dropping him off and all throughout my time away. The constant commute and quick response was great. My pup will be back when my travels take me away again. I highly recommend them.”
“Crystal was phenomenal in every way for our little guy! Very professional and offered personalized service for our "fur baby" as she called him. Would definitely recommend her service and will use her again. 😎”
“We’re so grateful for Danielle! She took amazing care of our dogs, Skye and Java, while we were away. She stayed in regular communication, sent plenty of updates and photos, and gave us such peace of mind. It was clear our babies were comfortable and well-loved. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous about leaving our fur baby with a Stanger in their home. Well Mady met and exceeded our expectations! We have a 96 pound Rottweiler and Mady loved on her and she enjoyed spending time with their dog Radar! She has a clean and spacious fenced in back yard and also took Stormy on nice walks! There were also toys there to keep Stormy occupied and happy. Mady followed our instructions exactly as it relates to her care. She sent pictures and videos which kept us from worrying! We highly recommend Mady, it’s clear this is not just a business for Mady, she truly has a love for dogs!”
“I am so happy I found Donna. Donna is amazing! She treated my fur baby Pixie as if she was her own. Donna kept me up to date daily with pictures and videos. I can tell Pixie was so happy with Donna. She is genuine and has great energy. She is a dog lover! This is my first time using the rover app. Pixie looked so sad driving home leaving Donna. I look forward to many more stays for Pixie with Donna. Thank you so much, words cannot express how appreciative I am, you took such great care of Pixie. 🫶🫶🫶”
About: My love of dogs began when my mom got a puppy when I was in sixth grade. Now I am a dog mom. I've been the proud mom of a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix for the past 4 years. I've raised her since she was 3 months old, through potty training, puppy training and intermediate training. I'd love to care for your fur baby too. I'm at home during the day and available to drop in/ walk your fur baby. I am available in the mornings and in the afternoon. I have an unfenced end unit townhouse. There is grass on the side of my house and plenty of unfenced grass in my townhome community. I work from home almost every day of the week so I will have time to take care of your baby during the weekday. I'm able to get out and walk dogs on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard and a fenced play area in front of my house. I have a friendly fur baby who likes to play and thinks she's the leader of the pack.
“April was great! Very communicative and shared pics of my fur baby while she looked after her. She stayed over night with April and took to her affections. This is a loving display of her care. I'll definitely be reaching out to April again soon.”
“This was my first time using the app, and Estela answered all my questions before I booked. When I dropped off Coco, she immediately went to her. She also sent me pictures and kept me updated on how my dog was doing throughout the day and overnight. I appreciate how much she cares about animals, ensuring they return happy. I was pleased to see my dog happy when she came back, and we will definitely use her services again.”
“My dog Deuce had his first stay with Shawonika and she took excellent care of him. She checked in every day, sent tons of photos, and made me feel completely at ease. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Corey is amazing. We used him for boarding services. He took very great care of Duchess and treated her has his own. He provided a status and pictures of her multiple times per day. I will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Corey!”
“Amazing experience! I received multiple daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my Hunni was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend Mrs. Rita!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule offers flexibility throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I will always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives consistent care, attention, and companionship during each visit. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection into every pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I am attentive during walks, mindful of environmental hazards, and committed to maintaining a calm and positive experience for every pet. I will also provide updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for pets, so I focus on creating a calm environment filled with attention, supervision, and affection.

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Branden to care for my French Bulldog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Branden was professional, attentive, and incredibly kind to my pup. Branden took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs, including feeding schedules, and walking routines. He provided regular updates, complete with videos and notes about how my dog was doing, which gave me total peace of mind. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. It’s evident that Branden truly loves animals and treats them like their own. I highly recommend Branden for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking their services again in the future! Thank you for taking such excellent care of my furry family member!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kettering
Shawonika was absolutely AMAZING! It was my first time leaving Blitz with a sitter and I was so nervous but Shawonika eased all of my fears. She was so communicative and attentive. She was able to accommodate me for a last minute out of town trip and took amazing care of my baby. She sent me updates and pictures and stayed in contact while I was out of town. Blitz had a GREAT time with her and even seemed like he didn’t want to leave! I can tell he totally missed her when he left. Shawonika also did an amazing job of keeping him entertained and expending all of his high energy! I would 100% use her again and again. Shawonika thank you thank you! You’re the best! Blitz misses you already! I can’t wait to book you again!
Linda was perfect! Extremely timely, communicative and my senior doggy loved her. She sent photos and video updates Drop off and pick up very smooth My dog did not want to leave her when I picked her up. Perfection!! Thanks so much, will absolutely call Linda again.
Ashley is super amazing. She gave constant updates when watching my dog Scooby and even took him on a pup cup visit which I've never heard of but will definitely start taking him after seeing how much fun he had. I will definitely recommend Ashley to watch your fur baby and if I could would give her more that 5 stars. 10 out of 10 recommend
Trayonna was great with Hunter. She communicated very well and left my mind at ease when it came to leaving him with someone new in such short notice. She took him out to play regularly and sent me so many updates which I loved. Hunter seemed very happy in each picture & enjoyed his cuddles. He came home happy and tired lol. I will 100% be trusting her with Hunter again.
Taiwo communicated throughout caring for Chloe. She sent pictures and asked questions as needed to make sure Chloe was properly cared for. Chloe has separation anxiety and refuses to eat when not at home. Taiwo was able to comfort Chloe and she actually ate! Chloe had difficulty with bedtime since she normally sleeps with us- she had to adjust with sleeping in her cage while with Taiwo. We will use Taiwo again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kettering on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,687 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kettering. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Kettering sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Kettering landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kettering home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kettering.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Kettering sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
