“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”
“Alysia was great with Amos! She was thoughtful about how she introduced him to her dogs and allowed me to hang around for a little while while she did so. She commented well and sent updates. Amos seemed happy and comfortable with her in her home. I would be glad to have her keep him again!”
“Carly and her husband took such wonderful care of my pup! He is a ball of energy but that didn’t seem to bother them one bit. I felt at ease knowing wally was in good hands while I was on vacation, and I received plenty of pictures to get me through my week without him. I’m so thankful for the attention and care they gave wally, and I know he appreciated the play time with Carly’s beagle, willow. I returned to one healthy and happy pup!!”
“My pups were so well loved and happy! I highly recommend Tara! She is very intentional about the care she provides, listening to care instructions and ensuring they’re implemented. Lucky dogs ( or cats) who get her care!”
“We will definitely use Ryan again. He and his son were great with our dogs, Beefy and Otis. He was very attentive to them and kept in touch with us often. I felt that I could relax knowing that Ryan was watching our dogs.”
“This was the first time we used Rover to find care for our Gus for a night, and Rachel was amazing. She sends regular updates in pictures and videos so we always knew he was safe and taken care of. We would definitely book with Rachel again in the future!”
“Derik and Megan were so patient with our St. Bernard and took every step to help her overcome some anxiety issues during her stay with them. They were communicative with us and were knowledgeable about dog behavior which played a role in being able to respond to our dog’s needs. Would absolutely go back to them!”
“Rebecca and Ethan took such great care of our dog, Rudy, while we were on vacation. He got walks, lots of love, and we always received updates. We could tell Rudy felt very comfortable and happy while he was there. We will definitely book with Rebecca and Ethan again in the future when needed. :)”
“Myra was great with our fur babies. She took excellent care of them while we were on vacation. We received updates and pictures letting us know they were happy and in good hands. I would definitely recommend using her. And we will be using her the next time we go on vacation.”
“My boy is a sisssyyyy and Amber went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable during his stay!! Wrapped him in my blankets, took him on plenty of (attempted) walks (my doggo’s a sissy, remember?), and offered all the cuddles and pets to keep him feeling reassured until I was back in town. The fact that she keeps it to one pet at a time was a life saver- my big baby wouldn’t do well w others. Will be using Amber over and over again! Never trying anywhere else!”
“Joanne watched our 2 dogs, she and her family welcome them as their own. After a negative experience at a kennel, I'm so relieved to have such a wonderful caretaker for my 2 furry guys. ”
“I have a 12 yo German Shepard. He's an old man now. We were going away for New Years and our normal sitter wasn't available. I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new. Karin was spectacular. She was attentive to his needs and careful about his 'age' related shortcomings. She has a pup of her own and a young son who loved my boy. Karin sent plenty of pics of him and was very communicative during his stay, asking questions to make sure behaviors were normal and making sure he'd tolerate the environment there! I don't know how many stays my old man has left in him, but Karin is definitely the person I'd want watching him when I leave!”
“Kyri was fantastic, lots of communication, wonderful home, great personality, no complaints at all, I dare say Buck wants to go back and have more fun with friends”
“Vicki took great care of our Shih Tzu while we were on vacation. He is a rescue and can be nervous in new situations. She was as patient and loving with our dog and sent us frequent updates that eased our anxiety about leaving him behind.”
“Hatsuki’s care and compassion shines in everything she does. She had special doggy treats, daily walks, pics, and updates often. My pup is a nervous clinger and she made him feel safe and loved 🤎 will recommend her to anyone!”
“Very friendly and conscientious. My dogs have stayed with her multiple times and they are thrilled when we pull up. They are excited to see Tammy and her dogs. Highly recommend her.”
“We really appreciated Joe watching our two dogs! He was incredibly kind and provided updates so we knew they were doing well. He went above and beyond accommodating a later pickup when our flight was delayed. Thank you, Joe!”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kettering
Loved how Carly and her family cared for my little guy while I went out of town. I received constant updates and received many pictures to let me know how he was doing. Unlike looking disheveled when picking up from a typical boarding kennel, my dog looked happy and healthy when I picked him up. This was my first experience with a dogsitter and Carly was amazing and cared for him as her own! Highly recommend!
Cerah and her family were excellent with our senior dog who doesn’t hear or see well anymore. She is extremely understanding of his needs and had very clear communication with us before and during the stay. We were very happy with our dog’s 2 week stay and hope to use her again!
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.
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 501 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.
88% 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.
