About: I have been a professional dog trainer for 20 years working with everything from police dogs, therapy dogs, service dogs, rescue dogs, sport dogs, and happy go lucky pets so it’s safe to say I’ve seen and worked with it all! But my big thing is really teaching dogs how to be dogs as that is where I find the root of most dogs behavioral problems. So I am happy to help people who live busy lives to come in and play with, walk, and socialize with your dog. I am the owner of my own dog training business, Dogs by Nature, and create my own schedule. So as long as I have notice I can be flexible. I also offer $5 off if you go through my business vs Rover For the most part I go to clients homes and care for your dog there. I’m happy to fallow any instructions left. If for some reason we agree for me to pick up your dog they ride in a crash tested dog crate and will have a gps tracker on them that I am happy to share the location with you.

About: I have six years of experience and have work for multiple kennels. I know how to do daily routines and how to distribute medications. I give a lot of my attention to detail and make sure the pets have the best care. I actually work for a veterinary clinic at this time. Also, I care for my family member's pets on the weekends, when I have time. I normally care for any pet I have in my care in their own homes. I have in the past stayed overnight in my clients' homes.

About: Dogs are my everything. I have watched and cared for dogs for years and am meticulous about following instructions and providing updates and photos. When I care for your dog, they are my only responsibility. I am currently working temporarily in the area until the end of December. I actually have three little senior dogs back at home with my partner, but since I am away from them (and free from my dog parent duties) I have quite a bit of free time (especially on the weekends and evenings). I would love to be able to help your dog(s) during my time here in Ohio. I work at WPAFB, which means that I am busy during the workday. However, on the weekends and in the evenings I can be completely free to care for your dog(s). I can care for all ages of dogs. My dogs take medication, so I can handle and understand the importance of administering medication. I am very communicative and love sending photos. And if I don't know something, I will always ask!

About: I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog while you’re away. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and others and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I love offering a meet-and-greet before confirming a booking so your dog has a chance to get familiar with me in a comfortable, low-pressure setting. This also gives us an opportunity to discuss your dog’s unique needs, temperament, routines, and any special considerations to help ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay. I work full time, but when I’m not at work I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. My daughter and I love spending time outside, going on walks, and playing in our large yard, so your dog can enjoy plenty of activity and playtime with us. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine, and my daughter and I will give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.

About: I have loved animals my entire life (I am 22), and I put extra care and effort to ensure they are comfortable around me and in their environment. I volunteer with the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, where I also foster kittens (including bottle babies and young litters who need round-the-clock care). At home, I currently live with two cats: a senior cat and a 3-month-old kitten. Caring for both at the same time has given me real, hands-on experience managing the very different needs of aging pets and young ones, from diet and enrichment to vet coordination and socialization. As a full time graduate student, my schedule is flexible to check in on your pet, provide feedings, playtime, and companionship. I can accommodate flexible drop-off and pick-up times and am happy to send photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority during every visit. I consider myself detail oriented and always follow each owner’s care instructions exactly. I know how to recognize early signs of stress, illness, or discomfort, and I’ll always communicate any concerns to you promptly. You can count on regular photo updates every visit so you always have peace of mind.

“We were hesitant about the whole Rover service, but our first experience went so well, we will definitely use again when needed. Isabel is a delight! We had a great meet and greet and felt so confident when leaving for the week that our twins were in good hands. A huge relief. Then the visit reports began - so thorough! Lots of photos too! We are pretty sure our return home was a bit anticlimactic for the kitties - Isabel was so entertaining! Thank you!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since my brother got his first dog when I was 12. Me and my family have had all sorts of puppers from a 130lbs cane corso to a 40lbs husky mix. I’ve dog sat dogs of every size and with a huge range of personalities. I’ve also never met a dog that didn’t like me. I am a full time student, however I get breaks in between my classes and when I’m not at class I’ll most likely be with your dog. I should be available 24/7 aside from some holidays and exams weeks :( I have a fenced in spacious yard and a crate if needed. I do live with 2 senior pitbulls, but the only thing I’d be worried about is the cold look from a jealous dog that’s used to getting all my attention.

About: Hi! I’m Emmabelle, a college student studying Elementary Education. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and caring, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away or need an extra hand! I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and others, including feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside, going on walks, giving pets plenty of attention, and keeping up with their normal routines. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust not only with your pets, but also in your home. Because of my background in childcare and education, I’m very comfortable being responsible for others and following detailed routines and instructions. I’ll always make sure I understand your pet’s individual needs, personality, schedule, and any house rules before you leave them in my care. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures during visits so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe and being loved on while you’re away! 🐾 I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m a college student, so my availability varies throughout the week, but I keep my Rover calendar updated and have more flexibility during evenings and weekends. I’d love to meet you and your pets! Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet & greet. 😊 I am a college student with a pretty flexible schedule for check ins, walks, and overnight care! My availability is pretty open for the most part. I will treat your home with care, as if it was my own home. I will always be respectful of your space and belongings. Communication is always open!

About: With a degree in psychology and public health, I bring a unique blend of clinical observation, medical literacy, and deep empathy to pet care. My experience spans 15 years of senior dog palliative care (including kidney disease management), chronic heart condition monitoring, and rescue rehabilitation. I practice a strictly non-punitive, preventative approach—reading subtle physical and behavioral cues to address root causes of stress rather than symptoms. Whether managing complex medication schedules, supporting anxious rescues, or caring for reptiles, I treat every animal with proactive, unconditional, and attentive care designed to help them thrive. My schedule is structured to offer dedicated, high-attention and present care. I am regularly available for weekend house sitting & extended stays, with flexible availability for weekday evening drop-ins and walks. Because I manage my booking calendar proactively, I only accept clients when I can be fully present and attentive to their pet's routine. I keep my availability up-to-date on my profile so you can always book with confidence. To ensure complete safety and individual focus, I do not host pets in my home. In your home, I provide a patient, peaceful, and fully present environment prioritizing your pet's needs without digital distractions outside of regular updates. I am expert at reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining non-punitive, calm routines. I encourage home cameras for your peace of mind and provide thorough photo/video updates. Neighborhood walks are tailored strictly to comfortable, permitted areas at your pet’s natural pace.

Daytime visits will vary based on how many meetings I have. I am more than happy to feed, cuddle, walk, and play with your pups - whatever you need! Please let me know of your pet’s favorite toys so I know which to grab when I stop by!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past two years, providing reliable and loving care for both dogs and cats of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the animals and have always been able to build strong trusting relationships with them. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and commitment to maintaining each pets routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and I take the time to get to know their individual needs throughout my pet and experience. I’ve had no issues or problems and have consistently provided safe dependable care that owners can trust. I work a part time job at a coffee shop so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups or kitties! I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Over the past two years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family so I’m comfortable managing different schedules, energy levels and personalities. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate pet care into my weekly routine while ensuring each pet receives reliable attentive care. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure the home remains secure and that the pets are always supervised and safe. I love building trust with both pets and their owners. It is very important to me so I provide reliable care, clear communication, and give regular updates. My goal is to create a calm familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners our way.

“Jair has been an amazing sitter for our dogs! She takes great care to ensure everything is good for the pets and is quick to communicate if she thinks she can do something to help. For example we were on vacation and she let me know our boys allergies were really flaring up. I was able to order some skin balm overnight from Amazon that she recommended and call and schedule a vet visit for the first day we were back. It was great being able to know our boys were taken care of and enjoying still being at home. She also has great training tips!”

Absolutely the best. Went above and beyond. Arrived at agreed times. Two walks per day. Each one a really nice length. Spent at least an hour at each visit. Even took a sizable Amazon delivery off porch (wasn’t supposed to arrive until we got home). Would highly recommend. We will definitely have Bradley watch our Sage (almost 8 year old lab) again!

What a relief to go on vacation and have Erin and Anthony watching our dog! They were always incredibly punctual and provided multiple photos with each drop-in.

Shaelyn is amazing. My dog is “not great” with new people but she has gone out of her way to establish a great relationship with him. She has helped us learn how to support his behavior and he has been happier since meeting her. On the human end, it is a delight to have her stop in and I literally think I would be content to hire her just to visit me as she is a nice person to have drop in on a day. She is willing to engage my child who always looks forward to seeing her also. When in went away for a week it really made my time smooch better knowing I didn’t have to worry about the dog and cats at all because I had full faith she would take better care of than than I do. So kind and trustworthy- couldn’t recommend more as a pet-sitter or as a person!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Belmont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Belmont is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 1,214 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Belmont. 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.

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 Belmont 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 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.

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 Belmont with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
