“Alex was great. Communication was excellent, provided pictures, and took very good care of our pups. Made being away less stressful. I do recommend him, and will use his services again.”
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.
“Ashley was great with Dakota, they got along well and was very attentive with her during their walk times. She was professional, timely, & communication was very good. Will work with her again.”
“Juran was a great dog sitter. She is super communicative and takes time to get to know your pet. She even did a brief meet and greet with my dog beforehand which made him more comfortable with her. I look forward to Juran taking care of my dog again soon!”
About: My experience with pets is taking care of my orange tabby from a young age. As well as walking my neighbors Chihuahua whenever they were away on vacation. Currently off from school and my job has cut my hours, so I have full days avaliable for pet care. During the hours of 11-5 are the best for me Following the instructions given to me by the owner. While awarding the pet with treats if they work with my well, if accepted by the owner.
“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.”
“Rita is doing a great job with Bella. She is very punctual and she keeps me informed about her time with Bella. I can tell that Rita genuinely likes dogs . We are very happy we found Rita and we look forward to working with her for as long as possible.”
“Dasia was awesome. This was our second experience using a Rover provider. Dasia was timely, communicative when needed, sent pics at each walk, and was very caring to our pet. She accommodated a change in our travel schedule and modified the service request as needed. I will be using Dasia again and would recommend her services.”
“Daimon and wife are two of the best of the best! When they walked in, it was obvious from the beginning that they both have the "magic" touch with dogs and that they love what they do! I felt a calm of peace about me knowing that my guys would be taken well care of! I will use them often!”
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.

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.

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.

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.
