“Kelly & Maurice took great care of my little again and he came home happy and worn out. They treated my Louie like he was one of their own dogs and sent me plenty of pics and videos during his stay. Will definitely use their services again in the future.”

“This was our first time utilizing Rover and stumbled across April’s profile and decided to use her to take care of our precious Blue. April had amazing energy and greeted us with smiles and hugs! While having a busy wedding weekend April made sure to send us updated pictures each day which put our mind at ease. Blue was very well taken care of and we will be back to give April our business again! Thank you April!”
“Crystal was absolutely fantastic! From the start, she did a thorough meet and greet and was incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. I felt completely at ease trusting her with my senior dog. Throughout the stay, she sent frequent updates with pictures and detailed descriptions, which I really appreciated. My dog looked so happy, especially getting to socialize with other dogs. I would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

The regular updates and photos She sent me brought me peace of mind, and my dog seemed happy and relaxed upon my return. Raynell truly went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort and happiness.”
“Corduroy had a wonderful stay with Donna, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Corduroy was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly appreciated the attention, patience, and genuine love shown to him throughout his stay.

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.
About: My next door neighbor had me take care of their dog, Brownie. He was an old man, but still a good boy! I would make drop-in visits to make sure he was fed and given his medicine which he did such a good job with taking it around me, and I would also take him outside for bathroom breaks. Milo was another dog I took care of recently, and unlike Brownie, she was young, and also loud just like any other husky, but similar to Brownie, she was good girl. This time she had to live with me at my house, but she was no problem at all. I would take her outside at least two hours a day and give her walks around my neighborhood. I would also let her sleep on my bed and she'd wake me up by licking my face every morning to start the day. Feeding her wasn't a problem either. In fact, taking so much time out of my day to take care of just any other dog is never a problem for me! My recent pet care was for a Siberian Husky named Milo. After taking care of her cats, my sister asked me to take care of Milo for a friend who was away last December. Milo was a big dog, but she wasn't anything I had trouble handling. She was a fun and good girl, and I made sure she was taken outside every two hours of every day and also made sure she was given food and water and would refill both when I see that they're almost empty. Pet care comes first for me and I would take plenty of time out of my day to give pets the love and attention they need while family is away. I have a yard but it isn't fenced. However, I will be outside with your dog if they ever need to go, and keep an eye and/or leash on them if necessary. I did the same for my own dog, Macy. Unfortunately, my home doesn't have any other dogs that yours could socialize with since Macy passed away, but with me around, your baby should never feel alone! If I were to take care of your pet at your home (and if necessary), I could also tidy up the inside of your house to the point where I was never even there once you have come back from your trip.
“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!”
“Linda did great with my toy poodle and frenchie. She provided pics and videos daily of the dogs and also walked them a couple times daily. I could see how happy they were to hang out with her pup and the other dogs in company. Would definitely rebook with Linda!”
“Corey is a great resource on Rover! He took our request last minute and was really courteous, attentive, and professional. He kept us updated while we were away with messages and pictures everyday. We will definitely be using Corey's services again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Mark and his adorable family welcomed and cared for Yukio and Pojke like one of their own! We received daily photos of our pups having THE BEST TIME, it's apparent they loved being there!! Thanks to Mark, his family and their dogs; we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying!”
“Pepper seemed to have a great time staying with Tasha! Communication with Tasha was easy and smooth throughout the stay, and she was also very accommodating when we needed to extend Pepper’s boarding stay at the last minute. We really appreciated her flexibility and care.”
“This is my 4th booking with Alder and Kathy and unless they are unavailable, I will continue to book with them. They are incredibly kind and soooo good with my little guy who can be shy. They send updates and I literally NEVER worry when he’s staying with them.”
“Loic was an amazing dog sitter! He took such good care of Coco, ensuring she was happy and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Coco had a blast playing with his dog, and it was clear she was well cared for and having a great time.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kettering
I recently went on vacation and left my Samoyed in Robert's care. As any Samoyed owner knows, these beautiful dogs come with a lot of fur that requires special attention and regular grooming maintenance. Robert did an excellent job caring for my dog during my time away. He was attentive to the specific needs that come with this breed, particularly the grooming requirements. My dog was happy, healthy, and well-cared for when I returned. I would definitely recommend Robert to other dog owners, especially those with high-maintenance breeds. He's reliable, caring, and clearly understands what it takes to properly care for dogs with special needs.
I would like to thank Rover and my sitter Latoya for giving my fur baby such a wonderful experience I was very skeptical about using this app for her but I'm glad I did Nola meet her a big sister and I see that she was treated well along with Chosen they got to be friends this Rover app provides great service and also brings pets together like family once again thank you Latoya Kudos 🙌🙌👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I will definitely be using Rover again for my vacation and any future events when I need a sitter.💙💛❤️💜.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kettering on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,637 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.
