“Not only is Dorothy an excellent dog sitter, but she is a true animal lover! This was confirmed at our meet and greet when she rescued a parakeet that had gotten itself lost and seemed to be begging her for help! It was amazing! Happily, the parakeet has found a wonderful, forever home with Dorothy! She is great!!!”
“Minty came to my rescue and let me dog out in a last minute appointment because I had to leave for a job out of state and didn't have help lined up. She came to my house within an hour of speaking to her! She did everything I asked and text me with any issues. She even took pics for me, which made me feel so much better and relaxed!! Thank you so much! My girls thank you too ?”
“Miranda did an amazing job taking care of Finn and communicating with us on a daily basis about Finn’s day and sending us pictures! Would definitely use her services again!”
“Haley was able to watch our dogs last minute, and she was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was prompt and thorough, giving me complete confidence that our dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Isabel is my favorite. I have used her pet sitting services a few times now and she is always super friendly, reliable, and sweet to my cats. I think they missed her more than me when I came through the door after vacation!! They do get treats from her more often anyway 🤪 she’s the best, even going as far as to let me know when my mail/packages arrived and put them in safe places for me. I’m super glad I found a sitter I can trust for vacations and small trips. Thank you Isabel!!!! 🩵🥳”
“My beloved terriers are, unfortunately, double trouble, and I've been worried that I'd never find a petsitter willing to deal with them. One is a Jack Russell terrier (enough said!), and the other is some kind of chihuahua mix rescue. The rescue is terrified of everything and everybody; Liesa took special care to build trust and assure my rescue that she was safe. My rescue also refuses to walk in wet grass, and it rained the whole time I was away! When it rains, she holds her urine and does her business on the sly on a throw rug. Liesa dealt with the situation beautifully, changing out soiled rugs with clean ones at each visit. I couldn't be more pleased!”
“Michelle has been so flexible and understanding in the midst of a big work transition, handling my frantic changes with grace and kindness. Really appreciate having one less thing to worry about!”
“Emma is the best! She watched our cat for a week during the holidays. She gave great updates with tons of cute photos. She really took the time to get to know our shy cat and even gave us plant updates.”
“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”
“Joanna was great! We had a last minute booking and she was able to help out. She came over to do a walk through ahead of time and was very patient with our senior girl who takes a while to warm up to new people. We’d absolutely recommend her and book her again!”
“Risa did such a great job with our Enzo! He’s a great dane puppy and can be a handful at times, so I am very impressed with how she managed to care for him. Would recommend to anyone.”
About: I've had four dogs over the course of my life. All small to medium but I'm not against large dogs. Our pups had some special requirements so I'm accustomed to keeping up with a schedule. I'm currently working full-time. I go in at 6am and get off work at 3pm on weekdays and 12pm on saturdays. I'm able to leave on my lunch breaks for potty needs. I can adjust my days slightly if needed. I can follow instructions well, I'm detail oriented, and offer plenty of cuddles and playtime in the afternoons. Walks around the neighborhood if that's what your pupper needs. I have a dog so I can bring him around for company.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 2 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.
About: Our dogs were very well trained - we have dog sat many times for neighbors, We have a passion for dogs and take time to make sure they feel safe and happy. We will spend a lot of time playing with the dogs indoors and outdoors. We have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for the dogs to play. Will comfort older dogs and dogs with less energy. I have also been around cats both young and older for 30+years. I will treat your fur baby like my own. Would love to help out with your beloved pets! My husband stays at home and I work a part time job. We will be home and able to be with your pets all of the time. We have a fenced in yard and outdoor camera to ensure you pets are safe and secure! We live in a nice neighborhood where we all look out for each other. We are excited to watch your dog or dogs by loving on them, walking them several times a day, giving them love and comfort throughout the day and night. Cuddles and playing with them throughout the day. We have a secure fenced in back yard, We also have cameras up around the home, We have references from neighbors, past and current clients that we have cared for their dogs.
“Jennifer is professional, kind, and clearly an animal lover to her core! We did a meet in greet to establish some semi regular care. She was focused on the best match for our pup and we are looking forward to their growing bond!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kettering
We have used Cassie multiple times before, but we decided to use a neighborhood kid to help with the dogs for a long weekend away this time… but he had a family emergency and couldn’t finish his commitment with very little notice. I was freaking out and 3 hours away, and messaged Cassie- she stepped right in and took over caring for the dogs with just a few hours notice. THANK YOU Cassie- you are always reliable and take great care of Petey and Dexter- we will only use you from now on!!
Gracie was the first Rover we ever hired. I felt so much more comfortable when I read that she is working as a vet tech and is obtaining education for that field as well. Part of me doesn’t want to leave a review because I want to be able to book with her as much as possible haha. But she is such a kind person who genuinely cares for animals and would be such a great addition to your pet’s team. 10/10 recommend!
Thank you so much Emma for taking so much loving care of Baxter and Birdie! So grateful to know you were here for them, they looked so happy in every moment captured! I think now that we are back, there are certain times of the day I see them looking for you to come play ☺️ thanks again!
Erin is amazing! She has taken care of my pups a few times now and she is incredibly responsive, is caring and loving to them, and goes above and beyond any expectations I would ever have. If you want your fur babies cared for while away, with no worry, choose Erin! I cannot say enough good things!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kettering stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kettering choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kettering with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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 sitter.
