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. 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 safe, have a chance to explore, and return 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: 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.

“Linda was great. She followed the laundry list of instructions I left, and let me know if she had any questions. She made an effort to win over my 3cats…and two accepted her quickly. Unfortunately, my anxious cat didn’t buy it, LOL. Hoping that next time, he will remember hard and come out of hiding.”

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: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.

“Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

“Ehuniz is the first pet sitter we had through Rover and she did an awesome job. She immediately acted with professionalism at our first meeting. She took care of our 2 cats for 1 week during the Christmas Season. She came to our house twice a day and was amazingly on time every time. She spent 30 full minutes each time to feed/play with the cats and clean the litter box. She even spent time to send us several pictures which was not expected but much appreciated! Not to mention that she is very easily reachable and ultra responsive. We are already in touch with her to not miss the chance to have her taking of the cats again and also of our dog for January!!!”

About: I have 13 years of pet experience. I love fitness- so I love playfully engaging with furry friends! Also, I was a vet tech in high school, therefore, I am very knowledgeable on their demeanor and evolving needs. I do not accept dog walks that occur past sunset for safety reasons. Currently, I work remotely before starting school- so I’m always home and attentive to your pet’s needs. Unless specified otherwise, I am free during the week and some weekends. I’ve very intuitive to pets needs and cater to their personalities. Because I took vet tech in high school, I have vast experience with pets outside of dogs as well.

Alicia is very sweet and great with communication. When I was missing the poop bags she even offered to go out and purchase them for me. I ended up ordering them for her but just the fact of her offering was so sweet. I would highly recommend.

I highly recommend Latoya to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker. I have known Latoya for about four years because she lives in my community, and I have seen firsthand how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I often see her walking her own dog, Chosen, throughout the community. Chosen is always friendly, well behaved, and clearly very well cared for, which made me feel completely comfortable trusting Latoya with my two dogs. Since hiring Latoya through Rover, she has done an excellent job. She communicates with me before arriving and again after she leaves, keeps me updated, and sends photos through the Rover app so I can see how my dogs are doing. That level of communication gives me great peace of mind when I am away from home. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love her. They are comfortable and happy around her, and it is obvious that Latoya treats them with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She is reliable, responsible, professional, and someone I completely trust in my home and with my dogs. When you trust someone with your pets, you want to know they are being cared for by someone who will treat them like their own, and that is exactly what Latoya does. I feel fortunate to have someone I know and trust taking care of my dogs. I would highly recommend Latoya to anyone looking for dog walking or pet care services through Rover. She has earned my trust, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.

Danielle was very pleasant and great with Butter! She did a check-in visit to feed and walk him, Butter was in great hands, she made sure he was fed, exercised, and gave some companionship while we were away. Her communication was prompt, along with updates. I will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again when Butter need another visit!

Rita is an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She takes such wonderful care of my two kitties, Bear and Mimi, and always treats them like they’re her own. She empties their litter box daily, makes sure all of their needs are met, and gives them so much love, attention, and affection while I’m away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kettering

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kettering is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 16,824 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kettering. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
