“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.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve personally owned 6 dogs and 1 cat, and I have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide loving, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. I follow feeding and medication instructions, provide walks and playtime, give plenty of affection, and keep their space clean and safe. I also make sure to communicate with owners and send updates so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 3 years, with hands on experience in daily care and routines. What sets me apart is my focus on each dog’s well being and happiness I’m attentive, patient, and treat every dog like my own to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time and am a student, but I’m available after 3:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, all day Wednesday and Friday, and also on Sundays. I provide a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment for every pet. I live in a three story home with plenty of space to roam, along with a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time. I’m also near a dog park for additional exercise and enrichment. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize supervision, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for.
About: I am dependable, punctual, and caring. I grew up all my life caring for my own pets and dog sitting for family and friends. I look forward to meeting yours! I am currently home for college and have no extracurriculars interfering with giving your loved ones my attention, so I look forward to meeting them! I can follow any rules you set for your pet in or around your home and will try my best to make them feel yhe most normal and at ease.
About: Absolutely — the experience is strong. I’d make it sound a little more polished while keeping your personality and making you stand out on Rover: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 13, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💙 I have experience with proper nutrition and feeding, exercise, long walks, basic puppy training, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for sick pets that required insulin injections and medication, so I understand how important it is to follow their routines and pay attention to even the smallest changes. I’m also experienced with dogs who may display aggressive or reactive behaviors. I understand that aggression can be triggered by fear, stress, anxiety, or other situations, and I take the time to learn each dog’s triggers and boundaries to keep everyone safe and comfortable. And there’s more—I’m a professional dog groomer! ✂️🐶 So whether your furry baby needs exercise, companionship, medication, a little training, or a fresh new look, I’ve got you covered. Think of me as your pet’s one-stop shop for love, care, and everything in between! 🐾💙 My schedule fluctuates often but rest assured, I balance my time and devote myself to my clients. All my time is catered to caring for animals I treat my clients animals as if they were my own babies. When your babies are in my possession, expect safety and plenty of love.

“Nova loved her time with Veronica and we were very grateful to find Veronica so last minute. She followed all of our house rules and our pup enjoyed her time with her!”
About: My love for animals started when I worked at an animal shelter. I’ve had reptiles, cats, dogs, birds, and even ferrets. I have over two years of housesitting/ petsitting experience. I currently work from home so I am available to sit in your home any day of the week. This ensures that your pet gets all the attention they desire. The only requirement I have is that you have home Internet. I would love for your pet to keep the routine that they are used to and in the home they are used to while you are away.
“Jelisa was a delight. Communicative, responsive, exhibited common sense, and was on time. if you were looking for a trusted caregiver for your animal, you found it in Jelisa.”
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Over the past year, I’ve lived with three dogs, two parrots, and 4 cats, and before that, I lived with and helped care for around 23 rescue animals. Everything from lizards and turtles to dogs, goats, and horses! My goal is to pursue a career in animal care, and pet sitting is the perfect way to gain even more hands on experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m suppose to start college in December and am not employed, at the moment I am free all day and all night and can care for your pets whenever and give them the most comfortable stay, and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard and a wide dog cage in the backyard and in the house in case your pet needs to be caged. I take care of both my dog and my mother’s elderly dog they eat and get walked at around the same time every day and go outside to play with toys or just to run around the yard a lot throughout the day.
“Alyia is kind and loyal and clearly had a great bond with my Stella. I really enjoyed working with her! And if Stella could talk she would add that Alyia is also very patient - letting her stop for 15 pee breaks.:)”
“Micaela was amazing and she is the sweetest! I messaged her very early in the morning to walk my dog Kato and she was at my apartment within 2 hours! Her responsiveness and communication throughout the entire booking was exceptional! My baby absolutely loved her, not to mention he was exhausted after their walks! Thank you Micaela, I will be booking again!”

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 Kettering. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kettering after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
