“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Bradley was fantastic! He looked after our 4 month old golden retriever puppy for several days on short notice, which is something not every sitter would be prepared to take on. He was fast to respond to all communications and kept us updated with pictures and messages while we were away. We felt very comfortable that Ollie was well looked after. I would definitely book him again.”

About: I love all animals in general, I grew up taking care of dogs, rabbits, fish, birds, and turtles and have helped my roomies with their pets. I've volunteered at the Humane Society in Pasadena, CA and I have boarded dogs before. Now that I live alone and don't have pets I am trying out Rover to be able to make new furry friends, did I mention I have a backyard? I'm super detail oriented and will go above and beyond to take care of your high-needs pet. Also, I am big on cleanliness so let me know if your dog needs a bath and I'd be happy to help with that. If you would want me to take your dog out for frequent walks just let me know! I am working part-time from home and I am very active so going for walks is easy. I will plan ahead and let you know about our daily schedule and send pics, of course. I have a very sweet and gentle cat that sleeps on their corner all day, and I have a separate home office where I work during the day. Your pet would be with me all day or in the main living area if they wanted to.
“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“Maddie was so great! I needed someone last minute and she was quick to respond and so nice. This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I got regular pictures and updates, and though I was worried my dog would be anxious it was clear she was having a great time. I’ll definitely be booking with Maddie again!”
About: I have had many animals in my life including dogs, cats, horses, sheep and goats. I am currently accepting a limited number of dogs for daycare or boarding and at my home with fenced yard. I have a four year old Mini Aussie ready to play and entertain your fur baby. I also offer drop in home pet care and plant care/mail retrieval services while you are away. All dogs must be house broken and socialize well with other dogs and people. I am available 7 days a week. Dogs must be crate trained (for overnight), house broken, have current immunization records and complete a short temperament assessment. I have a three dog limit, including my dog. Any dog’s acceptance into or rejection from my care is solely at my discretion. I have a fenced yard and plenty of toys to keep things exciting. My home is dog friendly and crates are available for short term or overnight use. Dogs will be crated at night for boarding.
About: My family had a dog and two cats when I was growing up, and I have made sure to keep pets in my household ever since. Now, my wife and I have a 10-year-old beagle named Bobby, and a five-year-old cat named Walter. Bobby and Walter are easy-going and do well around other pets. Bobby mostly keeps to himself, while Walter might try to get your pet to play with him. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood, and we have a partially fenced yard for your dog to play/relax in. Bobby loves lounging on our patio. I work from home full-time, and my wife works from home one-two days a week, so your pet will have constantly attention and love from us. I work from home, so I am available to board and look after your pet every day. I only board one pet at a time, so you can count on your pet getting full and constant attention. I have a partially fenced yard at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty of yard for your pet to play and relax.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Dayton is $40

Jill was amazing with my dogs. She was able to help with only hours notice, and far exceeded our expectations. She provided daily updates, and made the separation easier for us as we moved into our new home. I completely recommend her and will use her again any time I need to leave town.
Kamilah was AMAZING! Wanted to know every quirk about my pup and took the time and energy to remember. Treated my girl like a princess and they had so many walks and adventures together and sent a lot of photos and videos. Kam made my pup feel so at home. She is the best sitter!
Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! You can immediately tell that Amir genuinely loves animals and truly cares about the pets he looks after. I left my Harlow with him for the weekend, and honestly, I think she had more fun with him than she does with me LOL! 😂 He has a great personality, provides amazing pet care, very good communication and pictures!! all at a very affordable price. I honestly can’t imagine choosing anyone else! Harlow is already excited to stay with Amir again soon. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!
Susie was wonderful! She took great care of Maggie, made sure she got plenty of walks, and kept us updated throughout her stay with lots of pictures. It was so nice knowing Maggie was happy and well cared for while we were away. Susie was also incredibly friendly, responsive, and loved our dog. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her watch Maggie again!

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 .
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
