“Savannah has a beautiful and kind spirit that Gracie responded to and she has excellent communication with us. She sent pics and provided updates throughout the day. We would recommend her and will rebook with her again!”
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.
“We can't say enough great things about Isabella! We have a newer rescue pup who is still working on his potty training skills, so we really wanted to find someone who was willing to stay close during a weekend that we were away. Not only did she keep us thoroughly updated each day, but we came home to an even cleaner home than we left and a VERY happy doggy! Isabella took wonderful care of both our sweet boy and our home, and helped us continue the structure and training we had implemented. She was attentive, patient, and went above and beyond what we expected. Overall, a fantastic choice for our first weekend away from our little man! We are so grateful for her top notch care and would hire her 100x over. Book her ASAP! :)”
“Michele is absolutely the best! She is always prompt, very communicative the entire time, and leaves our home immaculate (you wouldn’t even know someone stayed there). To top it off she’s GREAT with our Gus ♥️ she continues to be my first choice when finding a sitter for our pup!”
“Elisa helped us and our furry fires through a though time while we were away and we will be forever thankful that someone with so much kindness in their heart was our pet/house sitter. Our eldest pet, Beau, was diagnosed with advanced stange heart failure and put on medication about 3 years ago. For any of you who knows about Vetmedin you know that it was amazing that he lasted as long as he did. While we were on vacation his kidneys gave out, a side effect of the medication. Elisa was there for him, helped us get him to the emergency vets and cared for him on his final night when we couldn't be there.”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. Growing up we always had pets in the house. My family has a genuine love for pets. They are so precious and deserve our love and care. Presently I have a dog and cat that I love so much. They brighten my day. Sadie and Goldie. I give them the best possible care. I dog walk and sit for a lot of my family and friends I am retired so my schedule is pretty open to Petcare. I’m available for dog walking, dog sitting, drop in care, feeding, giving meds, cleaning litter boxes etc I will care for your pets in your home as to whatever you need for them. Feeding, grooming, playing, scooping litter boxes, walking them etc. Any request you need
“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve lived in houses with pets my whole life ranging from dogs of all different breeds, cats, bunnies, and goats :) I have a lot of love for animals. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to see their personalities. I’m currently working a seasonal job so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule so most days I should be available! I take extra care and consideration for every owner that allows me to sit in their house. I follow the instructions given to me as well as leave everything the way I found it. I wash and put away everything I used during my stay. And of course I will give your pets all the love I have!!🩷
“Great, dog loving sitter who will truly care for your pet as if you never left. It was such a relief knowing my fur babies were taken care of and we could just relax and enjoy vacation. We are booking again for November. Thank you!”
“Kalee was amazing, she sent pictures and was quick to respond everytime. She made sure I had no worries while I was away, and that my fur baby was taken care of. If she’s available I will be booking with her everytime!!”
“Shaelyn is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She’s very upfront with her schedule and wanted to know all of Penny’s tendencies so she could best care for her in our absence. She took Penny on multiple long walks and sent us so many pictures of her playing. I really really appreciated how she interacted with Penny the entire weekend. We will ABSOLUTELY be hiring Shaelyn again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
About: I have had a deep love for animals my entire life. I’ve always grown up around cats, dogs, rabbits and even reptiles! I also used to raise & show lambs for 4H at the Clark County Fair, so I am used to the routine and responsibilities that come with animals. I have experience working at DogTown where I learned valuable skills on keeping dogs happy and calm during their boarding experience. I know it can be very stressful leaving your animal in someone’s hands, but I’m willing to do everything I can to make sure your pet is well taken care of! 🐾 I work as a part-time EMT (I usually work overnight shifts) and I am a full-time college student, but I have control over which days and times I work. Overall my schedule can be flexible and I am happy to work to ensure your pet is getting the most quality care and attention! Unfortunately, I live in an apartment where animals are not allowed. However, I am more than happy to come to your home for care! While being in a clients home it is my goal to keep it as clean as possible and respect that space! I can also do walking or playtime where the owner prefers to ensure the pet is as close to their normal routine as possible.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs at once while ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I am comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, helping pets stay healthy and comfortable in their normal routines. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available most days of the week for long periods of time to fit into your schedule and care for your pets well! I can do some sitting and care on weekends! I have a nice space for the dogs to play and have fun! I have a nice yard at my house for them to run around! I can easily crate your dog, if needed! I will do what is best for your pet and care for them as if they were my own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Byron
We love Anna & Stephen so much! So glad we found them! They are so good to our animals. Most importantly all our animals love them too! They are very communicative everyday. When Anna & Stephen stay with our pups, we know they are safe and happy and in good hands.
I have a deep admiration for Isabel, appreciative of her nurturing and affection for animals, as well as her understanding and empathy. Upon relocating to Dayton with three of my beloved animals, I was experiencing immense anxiety and frustration due to our recent separation prior to the move. Isabel not only agreed to meet with us multiple times to familiarize herself with the animals before my departure, but also displayed exceptional responsiveness and compassion towards our situation. She diligently followed all provided instructions and consistently kept me informed of their well-being. Isabel's compassionate nature and willingness to accommodate our needs made this transition seamless and stress-free. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a reliable, caring, and devoted companion for your furry family members.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Byron walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Byron maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Byron 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!

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 .

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.
