“I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.”

“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”

About: I grew up in Jamaica with 6 dogs that I loved dearly. I've been taking care of them since I was 9 and they're literally family to me. I have a genuine love for my fur babies and that's why I've decided to go to Veterinary School so I can learn more about these lovely fellas. I also volunteer at foster centers just to bring dogs out to explore the world as they deserve while they wait for their new families. I'm a part-time employee and part-time student with a lot of spare time on Tuesdays and Thursdays that I will happily use towards giving your pets the best time ever. When walking dogs, I prefer to keep them in an open non-crowded area away from potential threats (animals and humans). I tend to be hyper vigilant as I understand my responsibility and priority of keeping your pets safe. If they're meeting other dogs, I shorten the leash and always watch out for signs of discomfort or aggression. Lastly, I'll ensure your pets are fully hydrated during their walks.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. During the summer it was all I did. I’m currently unemployed so I want to have as much fun as I can with pets before I go back to school and work. Well I don’t care for pets in my home but eventually when I have my own space I would absolutely adore sharing my space with everyone’s pets.

About: Hi, Im Donesha! If you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter I’m your girl! I loves dogs more than I can even express :). I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. From Yorkie to Great Danes I have cared for them all. I also worked in a dog boarding and training facility in Southern Maryland. I’m making a very happy return to Rover after a few years of being away! I know basic first aid for pups and canine CPR. I will love and take care of your furbaby like family during their time with me. I have several years of great Rover reviews please take a look and feel free to message me if you have any questions! I am always ready and available to give love and snuggles to all the pups who come into my life. I prioritize and make time for all of my client and their pets on a daily basis. Pet care is a full time job and requires dedication and commitment. It takes a village and I’d love to be apart of yours! Safety and trust are the most important part of being a pet caregiver to me. I strive to take every safety precaution necessary to keep myself and your pet safe. I have pet first aid and CPR training as well as extensive knowledge of items and foods that are and aren't pet safe. I pride myself on being the safety net pet parents need while they are away.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love I have for animals - it's not just a service I provide, it's something I truly care about. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, which is how I got my start and built my experience in dog and cat sitting, walking, and feeding. What I'm most proud of is my patience and my ability to take the time to understand each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, quirks, and comfort levels, and I make it a priority to learn those nuances so I can provide care that feels familiar and safe - not one-size-fits-all. I treat every pet like my own, and that's something their owners always feel. I currently work from home during the work week so I will have plenty of time to play with your animal! I need at least a day heads up but can be pretty flexible in providing care throughout the week. When caring for pets my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time at the start of every arrangement to understand each pet's routine, preferences, and any specific needs, so there's as little disruption to their normal life as possible. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the dog - whether that means a leisurely stroll for a senior pup or a more energetic outing for a high-energy breed. I always make sure they're secure on leash, properly hydrated, and back home happy. Above all, I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I would give my own - because I know how much they mean to their families.

About: Hi! My name is Rebeca. I have always been around animals all my life and I have loved every bit of it. I have a passion for caring for animals as well as developing an understanding of each and every one of them. I’ve experienced caring for animals ever since I was a child with my own pets, as well as with sitting my families and friends pets and volunteering. It’s always a great time caring for animals and establishing a connection with them. I am so grateful for this opportunity to meet and take care of new animals and I hope you give me the chance to share only the best care with your pets! :)

About: I absolutely love all animals and care for them like they’re my own. I have my own dog named Tucci, so I understand the responsibility, attention, and care pets need every day. I’m responsible, dependable, active, and very flexible with schedules. I enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care naturally fits into my weekly routine because I care for my own dog every day. I’m already used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I do have a part time job , i go in maybe 1-2 times a week with 5-6 hour shifts. I provide flexible, attentive pet care based on each pet’s normal routine and comfort level. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and relaxed while keeping their usual habits consistent. I’m comfortable allowing pets on furniture and I can also co-sleep with them if that’s part of their routine. I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged, including regular walks and trips to the dog park when appropriate. If a pet is crate-trained or needs crate time, I can easily follow that schedule as well. I’m very open to following any specific feeding, medication, or exercise schedules provided by the owner, and I adjust my routine to match what each pet is used to so they feel as comfortable as possible while in my care.

About: I've always had a special love for pets that allows me to treat every pet like my own. To love and nurture them like my child. I don't have much experience being a sitter but I can always gain & work harder to ensure the best experience for every pet. I'm currently a part-time worker, permitting me to have a lot of available time which I would love to spend with your pups. All weekend I'm available & Tuesdays. All other days I'm available before 3pm & after 9pm. Whenever I dog-sit for a friend I always treat their pup like a toddler. All my attention goes to them to gain trust & understanding. To feed and take bathroom breaks on schedule. To have as much fun as possible so that when it is time to rest they will have the best sleep.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Kettering

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Kettering on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 16,693 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kettering. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kettering. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kettering.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kettering. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
