About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. From daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication administration, I treat every dog like my own.

I can work remotely from anywhere for overnight stays during the week if needed as long as there is wifi. We have a large fenced in yard for dogs to give them a place to run and play safely. Our house is dog friendly. They are kept in the house and treated like family to create a safe, trusting environment. We have a dog door for dogs to use at their leisure. We treat them like children. They are allowed on the furniture and we love cuddling with all dogs. We don't mind dog fur but try to keep a clean environment for everyone.

About: I grew up with 3 border collies in my home, so I’ve been helping with pet care for as long as I can remember. My husband and I adopted Penny, our sweet Australian Shepherd, two years ago and we have loved every second. I have never met a dog I didn’t love. I have often been told I have a knack for comforting anxious dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible during work hours. I often take my dog on a walk before work and in the evening after work. I’m flexible to leave work as needed and take dogs out as often as needed. I have a friendly Australian Shepherd who loves to play to keep your dog(s) company. My fur baby no longer uses her crate, so we have a crate that can be used for your dog when they visit if they like it. My husband is home in the evening after work to help with pet care.
About: I’ve probably been taking care of dogs longer than 8 years! I’ve dog sat multiple dogs in my home for friends and family and also just looked after some while I’ve babysat various families children! I’m doing job searching right now for the summer so I’m pretty open to whenever you need for the most part! Just looking to get a few part time jobs for the summer! I have a fenced in backyard, plenty of space for your pups to play free. We have 2 cats but they do their own thing and won’t be a problem. They don’t like dogs but they won’t hurt them haha they just stay away. I make sure that your pups will always have the best care and attention! I love playing fetch the most!
About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a dog hiker for over 150 dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—some of them during overnight stays or day visits as well. My background in hiking with dogs has taught me how to build quick trust, understand different energy levels, and create a calm, safe environment—whether we’re out on a walk or curled up at home. I treat every dog like they’re my own—whether we’re exploring a trail, walking through the neighborhood, or just hanging out at home. I’m reliable, calm, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can count on me to show up, stay in tune with your pet’s needs, and communicate clearly with you. Let me know how I can help give your dog some adventure, love, and attention while you’re away! I hike dogs for a living so I can usually create my own schedule so I am totally willing to work with your preferences and needs. I always make sure every dog gets adequate exercise and outside time. I am good at reading body language and reading what their needs and comfort levels are.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 232 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Dayton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Dayton.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
