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!

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.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Estela and her family! From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they provided daily updates and photos, and followed every instruction with great care and attention to detail. This was our first time leaving our youngest behind, and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in such loving hands. It was clear when we picked them up that both Gianni and Valentino were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Their behavior spoke volumes about how comfortable they were during their stay. We even ended up extending our trip, and Estela was incredibly accommodating. We’re so grateful for the exceptional care and will definitely be using their services again in the near future.

Branden was the 2nd person I’ve used off Rover. The first couple are lovely and they are always my go to so when I couldn’t book them I was immediately stressed out. I have large breed dogs who are sweethearts but not everyone is comfortable with larger dogs. I did not have to worry. He was super kind and my dogs loved him. He even turned around to go bath them after one got sick from the car ride. I will def be booking him again because their attitudes told me everything I needed to know about him.

Spudsy once again had a wonderful stay with Mark and his family. He was so well taken care of, and had so much fun playing outside all day. He came home exhausted, which I know means he had a great time. Mark was once again a great and consistent communicator, and was flexible about pickup time which was very helpful for me coming home from the airport late. And the photos and videos were beautiful! So appreciate of Mark and his family for making Spud feel like part of the family when he's there!

Sabrina Sabrina Sabrina….she was wonderful from start to finish. Bruno was safe, loved, socialized and well taken care of. She was not annoyed by my Velcro Bernadoodle. In fact, she just met him exactly where he was and provided him what he needed (love and security). She is very responsive and sent plenty of pictures and updates. If you are jealous of your dog loving someone as much as you…Sabrina is not for you. As a parent (human/dog) I’ve always prioritized my kids happiness over my need to feel secure. Sabrina will always be our number 1 choice of a caretaker when we are not around. If I could give her 10 stars I would.

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!

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.

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Kettering

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.
