Top rated Dayton house sitters

“Keagan was great with our dogs! Very communicative, reliable, and our dogs seemed to really like her right away. She sent photos and updates daily and was very flexible and responsive. Will definitely book her again!”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my two dogs! Kyra was incredibly attentive, kind, and clearly loves animals. From the daily updates and photos to how relaxed and happy my dogs were when I returned, everything was top notch. My dogs can be a bit anxious and high maintenance, but they warmed up to Kyra right away, which says a lot. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I highly recommend Kyra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”


“We found Beth in a pinch on very short notice and she was wonderful. The 4 dogs loved her immediately. We have had a run of bad luck with dog sitters for a few years so very grateful to have found Beth. We are already planning to book her again next month😃.”


“We were nervous about hiring a stranger to house sit all of our animals- there are five- plus fish. We had had friends of friends house sit for us until this point, and something usually went wrong. Like they killed off a whole tank of fish or that they ignored our parrot, so she plucked out quite a few feathers, and we had never left our dogs with anyone who wasn't family. We have a rescue whose previous owners severely abused him, and he takes a second to warm up to people- for this reason, we haven't left either of them in four years. They've always come with us on vacation, or one of us stays home. This time we couldn't take them, and it was a tough decision. The highest praise I can give Zachary is that Henry (our rescue) snuggled him. I am so grateful for everything Zachary did for us, from nightly proof of life photos to the meet and greet beforehand to simply asking questions to make sure he cared for everyone the way we do. Since getting home about fifteen hours ago, we've already rebooked him and given his name to one of our friends who doesn't like to leave her dog. If you want a kind, caring and dependable person to care for your animals, Zachary is it.”


“Shadae is excellent and is very enthusiastic about caring for pets! She always sends so many updates and pictures, it gives me peace of mind while I am away! I will be booking with her any time she is available and I have plans to be away!”


“Keigan was able to take a last minute booking and we were grateful. Our puppers, Lilith, has seizures and has a strict medicine and feeding schedule. Keigan was able to give her medicine on time and keep her feelings on time. She sent updates throughout the day and even a few photos. We will def be using keigan for future getaways.”


“Emma did a wonderful job! She was very thorough in giving our injured kitten all of his meds and following all of the instructions we left for her. She even sent us pictures throughout the evening!”


“Faith did an amazing job, she spent lots of time with our dog Winston and even noticed a lump on his mouth that we had missed. She sent lots of great videos/pictures. We would definitely book her again!”


“We loved having Karen stay with our boys! She is responsible, communicates and left the house spotless. We knew our boys had a relaxing time with her and enjoyed her company! We will be sure to use Karen in the future and highly recommend her!”


“Mia is absolutely wonderful to work with. She has taken excellent care of our house and pets on two different occasions. She is an excellent communicator and clearly loves our pets. I cannot recommend her enough for your needs!”


About: I've grown up taking care of dogs, and also have experience caring for small animals like rabbits! I'm comfortable walking large dogs, and have often cared for older animals. I am currently a grad school student, so I have a very flexible schedule! My daily routine can easily be adjusted around your pet's needs. I don't own any pets at the moment, so yours will receive all my attention! I'm happy to stop by periodically for walks or stay with your pet for the day. I live near a few parks perfect for longer walks too.

“Tessa did a great job watching our 2 yr old lab in our home for the week Skye is very scared of new people when she meets them but made a new friend at the meet and greet! Tessa was her new play buddy and seemed at ease and comfortable with her during her stay. I know this because she would give me updates and pictures every day to put my mind at ease while we were so far away. She even helped me feed the neighborhood cats! She left our house just as clean as we left it. I will definitely be contacting her next time we need someone to watch or let Skye out for us!”


“This was the first time I used the Rove App but I’m so glad I did. She took such good care of Kyah on short notice and even sent me an updated photo of how she was doing. She treated my home and Kyah like it was her own. I hope to see her again in the future! Thank you! 😊😊”


About: In my 2nd year of my MS program, studying Animal Behavior and Well-Being. Had two senior dogs (who reside in OK with my mother as they are bonded) who exhibited abnormal behaviors related to medical issues that were promptly resolved by vets. Additionally, I worked at a non-profit dog sanctuary for several years with 100+ dogs: included grooming, socializing, rehabilitating, and helping to get adopted out. I am available mostly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are my afternoon and evening classes from 12:30 to 7:20 pm. I typically work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, if you let me know in advance! I let pets roam freely around my apartment and interact with my dog (Bernice - 2 years old and very friendly almost to a fault). I am willing to crate, if you are more comfortable with that during the evening. Pets are allowed on furniture.

“Victoria was an excellent sitter! Dogs were very well taken care off with walks everyday day! House was clean when we returned and dogs were happy! Would book this sitter again!”


About: I took care of my dog during his last days and since 2021 have been house/dog sitting for friends of friends to help them out. I have 1 dog named maisey, she is a lab/pitbull mix! I also volunteer a lot to dog walk at shelters! I currently am a tech in the ICU so I only work 2 12 hour shifts a week, I usually try to schedule around that. I am in nursing school but with summer coming up, I will be free! I will be at the house majority of the time and I usually try to get them to like me and not be nervous by giving them treats!
