About: I've always had a dog and trained a service dog in college with my roommate who now is paired with a kid who has epilepsy and gives the family much more ease. I have my own pup now and a cat as well! I also have fostered cats and dogs for over 5 years! I work hybrid and have a flexible schedule to ensure your dogs are taken care of. I will have plenty of time after work for exercise and cuddles as well! I will provide all animals with love and respect. If I am in your home with them I will make sure they feel as if I am not intruding their space so they can feel comfortable and trust me. I will be sure to earn your animals trust and give them the best care.
“Morgan was amazing for our drop in visit with my dog! She made the time for a meet and greet beforehand, and took lots of photos during her visit which made me feel so comfortable. Will definitely book again!!”
“Bethany was absolutely incredible and took perfect care of my boys! She gave them lots of love and attention while I was gone and followed their routine. She went out of her way to make sure they felt comfortable and even gave them something new to play with. She is amazing, thank you Bethany!”
“Taylor made our cats very happy and gave them lots of playtime. She even made an effort to make friends with our other very shy cat. Even took the trash out for us. Would definitely hire her again.”
“Tess was absolutely amazing with Louie and Twiggy. She stepped in on very short notice, communicated constantly, followed every instruction carefully, and treated both dogs with so much patience and affection. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, noticed small details, asked the right questions, and made sure they were comfortable, safe, fed, and cared for throughout the visit. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. We felt completely reassured knowing they were with her and would book her again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Alexandru was very trustworthy and personable! We are so appreciative of all of his help in taking care of our two kitties! He made sure to check everything I showed him each day and kept me up to date on everything!! 10/10 recommend!”
“Best Rover sitter I have had thus far! They’ve all been great but he was especially detailed with how they all did each day and I could tell he was paying attention because it really fit each personality exactly. He took lots of pictures and touched on the shy one getting attention because she loves it but doesn’t seek it out. Had total peace of mind. He also stayed a little extra time which I so appreciated. Really above and beyond!”

During the week lunch I can (12-1) I can take them out to potty, after work give them a walky. Weekends are free for me to give my full attention! I live in apartment near SMU. We have a dog park and a trail near me happily able to give them all the amenities and attention

About: Hello! My name is Kala, and I have had a multitude of animals throughout my life. I grew up with police trained German Shepherds, and have had their animals ranging from Ball Pythons to Black Cats. I worked at a Vet Clinic as a Technician’s Assistant in High School, and walked dogs in my family’s neighborhood to make money before going to college. I dog sit friends and family’s dogs regularly, and would love to take care of your animals! I work part-time during the week, so I’m available to take care of animals in the mornings M-F. I am also available all day Sundays! I am always respectful of other people’s spaces, and will ensure your pet feels safe with me both inside and outside! I will also ensure your pet feels loved and cared for, and you feel safe having me around.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats! I had 4 dogs growing up; a pug, a golden retriever, 2 cavaliers and a calico cat! I spent high school dog sitting and cat sitting around my neighborhood and through friends of my family! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all different demeanors and even a flying squirrel! I love taking dogs on walks and playing with any kitties, and of course giving some love while you’re away! My work schedule changes a little bit but I work Monday- Friday either 6:30-2:30 or 8-4! I have weekends off too! So anytime I’m not working I can come see your pet! At a clients home I will respect whatever boundaries and routines their animal is used to! I love going on walks and playing with animals, and of course some snuggles! Right now I live in a one bedroom apartment just with my cat! Half the apartment is filled with her toys and she loves spending time out on the balcony sunning and bird watching!
“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”
About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds - including puppies, seniors, dogs with medical issues requiring medication or a special diet, dogs with behavioral issues, and more. I treat each pet as if they were my own, because while I am not in a place to have my own pet, pets are family! I have open availability, including overnights at either my place or yours - whatever is best for you and your four-legged companion. I have reliable transportation so I can safely transport your pet in my vehicle if necessary. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a large park, and take the dogs I care for at my apartment on frequent long walks. I have space to crate them if necessary. I will care for your pet in your home in whichever way is best and most comfortable for you!

Christina was the best! she took excellent care of our kiddos and even got our most sensitive cat to eat his meals (and take his meds!) without any issue! she sent us tons of photos, was super communicative, and super flexible. 10/10 recommend her for all your pet needs!!
Taylor did such an amazing job taking care of my little old man! Our normal sitter wasn’t available so I was nervous to try someone new with my senior (somewhat high maintenance) kitty. She followed all my instructions perfectly, gave him his medicine, and was super sweet and snuggly with him. I’m so thankful!
Bethany is amazing. She took the time to really connect with our cat and make him look forward to the visit every day. We lived getting the updates and pics and really just put our minds at ease knowing she was taking care of him while we were gone. Bethany went above and beyond and it was so appreciated!
Kathleen is always great with my cats! She is patient and understanding even with my anti-social cat Rosie 😹. She sends me daily updates and pictures which helps keep my mind at ease while I’m away. I will always trust her with my cats if I ever need to travel again in the future.
AmariYah made this such a great experience, as this was our first time using Rover! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and it looks like our pets absolutely loved the experience too! She was very thoughtful and generous with her time, and her care of our little fur babies!
Best Rover sitter I have had thus far! They’ve all been great but he was especially detailed with how they all did each day and I could tell he was paying attention because it really fit each personality exactly. He took lots of pictures and touched on the shy one getting attention because she loves it but doesn’t seek it out. Had total peace of mind. He also stayed a little extra time which I so appreciated. Really above and beyond!
Fantastic sitter. Felt so comfortable having her keep an eye on our cats and apartment. Also let us know about emergency maintenance updates and sent daily pictures of our littles and loved on them a bunch. Will continue to book Hannah to watch our cats for our trips.
Carly was so reliable and responsive when we asked her to pop in on our cat Olive over Fourth of July weekend. She let Olive in/out at the designated times and always made sure she had fresh food and water (during a heatwave). Olive warmed right up to her and allowed her to give her some butt pats. Highly recommend Carly for any cat sitting needs, will definitely use her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Dayton on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,112 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dayton. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
