“Minty was great with our senior dog. I was worried about her since she gets anxious in new situations but Minty & her husband have a great set-up, and really care. They made her feel at home with plenty of walks & love! I appreciate that she kept me up to date with texts & pictures, too.”
“Kathryn did an excellent job taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation. Setting up the booking was super easy, all concerns and questions were addressed quickly. The communication and pictures during our time away were spot on, and put my mind at ease that our babies were happy and well cared for. The pick up was efficient and it was so nice to see how happy, relaxed and worn out from all the fun and love they received from Kathryn!”
“Tami is an absolute blessing to our family! She took such great care of Curly I think he was a little sad when it was time to come back home! Ha! Curly enjoyed his time with her so much we hope she’s available next time we need to be away from home!”
“2nd time utilizing Amber and will continue to do so! I have no worries when I go out of town leaving my pup here. They spoil him rotten and send me all the pictures. They even tried a sound machine to calm him down during the storm which I thought was super sweet and took a last minute booking for me. Very grateful to have them as our sitter! Would absolutely recommend to everyone.”
“Ashlee was amazing with my 2 very high energy dogs. She sent me pictures and videos during their stay and was so accommodating and flexible! I will definitely be using her next time for my pups stay! I can’t thank you enough! ☺️”
“EMILY was great you could tell she really loved dogs. And it was really great to get pictures and videos while I was away. I’m sure Gracie was well taken care of while she was there as well as having to playmates to hang out with.”
“Kristin was very proffesional and accommodating. We were able to easily schedule a meet and greet before booking the service. She sent daily updates, including pictures, and was very communicative throughout the entire process. We look forward to booking with Kristin again!”
“Carly was so great with my pup! She was very welcoming to us and made me feel like Lady would be like a member of the family during her stay. She also texted me a photo that night, which was great because I was really missing my furbaby and reassured me that she was doing okay! Very flexible on pickup/dropoff as well. Will definitely work with Carly in the future!”
“Amber and her daughters took great care of Brutus for a week. He was spoiled with chicken in his food, sleeping in their beds, and with the company of Amber's sweet little curly furby, and others that were staying with her. He was worn out when I picked him up and slept all the way home. He enjoyed Amber's huge fenced back yard and air conditioned house too! Thanks Amber and kids, We'll be back!”
“KAREN IS AWESOME!!! I can’t rave how comfortable I felt leaving my babies with her and they obviously had a great time as my anxious and very shy dog tried to stay with her lol that told me everything I needed to know ! I will definitely book again and every-time we need a sitter !”
“My dog had a second visit with Joe while I was out. She came back extremely happy and well taken care of. Joe listens to what you say about taking care of your dog and follows it exactly. Highly recommend Joe for all your dog sitting needs.”
“We were so pleased with the care Catherine provided for our pup. We received frequent photos and updates of her daily care and activities. We will definitely be using them again! Thank you for such wonderful care ❤️”
“Well Sadie must have had a good time she was wore out I'm sure with playing with the children I know she loves little children and dogs everything went well is expected”
“Bill was amazing! He helped me out last minute when it didn’t work out with a sitter and I had to travel the next day. He had a great fenced in yard and quiet neighborhood so I felt at ease having Ni Ni there. Bill sent updates and took wonderful care of her. Will definitely book again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kettering
Alysia is a great sitter for our pup Max! She was very careful and considerate when we first introduced him to her dogs, and they all play well together. Max comes home tired and happy! She's responsive and always sends photos and updates. We feel very comfortable trusting her with watching our boy!
Laurie and Jeff took such great care of Maggie while I was away. She had some digestive problems which they took care of with a temporary diet change to chicken and rice. Jeff taught her to "shake" ...Who says you can't teach an old dog (9 yrs) new tricks? In many of the pictures they sent she seemed to be "smiling" I was informed every 1-2 days of how Maggie's day was going, with pictures accompanying the messages. I recommend Loree and Jeff highly.
Isla had a great stay with Rebecca and her family. We have only used one dog sitter with our dog and they were not available so I was concerned how Isla would do with other dogs, but she loved running around with their dogs. Rebecca is truly a pet lover and was super with our dog, can’t recommend her enough.
Joe was great! He has a really nice yard for play and Bo loved his new friends. We were gone for 9 days but he came home so calm and restful, he typically is pretty anxious. We also appreciated there weren’t too many other dogs being boarded at the same time. We were lucky to find someone like Joe so close to our trip and the holiday after our first boarder backed out. We will definitely be using Joe again!
Melissa was wonderful!! Her communication was great throughout the whole process. She sent pictures & kept us updated during the time Captain was there. Captain had fun & a great time playing with her dogs, just like he was part of the family. He was even allowed on the bed and gave Melissa kisses he was so happy while he was there. I would have Captain go back there anytime. She was great & I didn't have to worry about a thing. I felt comfortable & knew he was being taken care of!! I would recommend Melissa for a Rover to anyone.
Jacqueline was really good with Duke. Responded super fast and gave multiple updates each day! I will definitely have her become a designator sitter for my puppy! We were so worried about leaving him with a sitter but Jacqueline was very responsive which allowed my worries to go away!
This is our third time using Carey and Bonnie, and once again, we had a great experience. Sam, our Goldendoodle, is an anxious fella who struggles with separation anxiety. They loved on him and made him feel right at home, as always. We received daily updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay. They're the best of the best! THANK YOU@@

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kettering on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 489 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.
89% 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 OH 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.
