“Our pup Onyx loves staying with Taylor and Brian! Onyx gets along great with their two dogs and plays all day with them. Taylor and Brian do a great job being attentive and caring to Onyx. They send us the cutest photos and updates. Taylor and Brian are very kind and good-hearted people, we feel lucky to have found them to care for Onyx. We are repeat customers for a reason!”

“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”

“Everything went well with drop off and pick up. He was watching another dog also, I was nervous at first because the other dog seemed a little aggressive. He assured me that they would be alright. He sent updates. He's friendly. I would recommend him and also will be using again.”

“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”

“Leann was amazing with our dog! I was terrified to leave him and she made me feel so much better about the situation. We were going for a week on vacation and I got many updates and videos. I was honestly scared he wouldn't want to come home lol. That's how amazing she was. I recommend her to everyone. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter”

“Lisa takes such wonderful care of our anxious pup; she provides a safe, comfortable setting letting his humans feel comfortable about getting out of town! So thankful for her care and patience!”

“Lauren is a great sitter! She took very good care of our dog, and we really appreciated the constant updates and pictures. She also has a great yard for our dog to run around. One of the best Rover experiences we’ve ever had and would definitely recommend!”

“Gabrielle was wonderful to work with and despite this being the first time we used her, we felt comfortable with her right away. She clearly has experience and is loving and caring. I knew Max was in excellent hands. Max had a great time and made a new friend in Jetson. Gabrielle was great about sending pictures throughout our vacation and little updates. I now have a new back up sitter for Max.”

“Sunny had a wonderful week with Jenny and her family and loved playing with their dog Bosco. He was so happy and comfortable when we picked him up! Great updates and communication.”

“Super fun! Not only did Montana, but I also had fun with this amazing sitter. The updates made my day! When I got Montana home, she was pooped. She plopped right down full of content. A great experience all the way around! Will certainly use again. While all was fun and games, she is also very good at understanding behaviors and have a thoughtful report to help me better understand my furbaby.”

“Tricia was great with Edie. She was also very flexible and went above and beyond when our flight got delayed and we had to figure out additional care on the fly. Would recommend!”

“Jessica was absolutely the best pet sitter! She was so sweet and really loves animals! She has the best setup for watching them in her home! She had a nice area for my cat to be separate if he chose to from her pets - but her pets were awesome also! I highly recommend her to everyone! I had been super anxious and worried about leaving my kitty, but my mind was at ease and I could relax on vaca because I knew my kitty was being extremely well taken care of! She also sent daily pics and notes, which was so great! Thank you so much Jessica!”

“Our dogs had a great time at Chrissy’s. She’s an experienced vet tech so I felt that they were safe while they were staying with Chrissy. They take great care of their animals and have a nice and big fenced in back yard. I would definitely recommend Chrissy to others if you are looking for a dog boarder, and I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”

“Kenny is super reliable, this is the second time he has watched my dog, Ringo and I love how comfortable Ringo is with him. Ringo was so excited to see him and go back! Highly recommend!”

“I have used Abbie several times now and she takes great care of my puppy! She takes precautions to make sure all dogs get along, and I know Clara loves her time there! She is good about sending photo or video updates.”

“We booked a drop-off time at 6am. Due to travel need, we asked to drop off about one hour earlier and Jenna allowed without hesitate. That was an early morning right after a busy July-4 evening. I really appreciate Jenna’s excellent servicing and would not hesitate recommending her.”

“Dion provided a great home for our pup with a friend and a yard in a good neighborhood - hard to beat that. Clear communicator with picture updates along the way. He’ll be our new go-to from here. Will be back!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dayton
Kamilah was exceptional! She was very responsive, punctual, and most importantly she was very attentive to my cat. She reached out ASAP with possible concerns and we worked together to resolve. She was also very flexible when my return travel was impacted by weather. Would absolutely use her again.

Marlena was absolutely wonderful! She provided thorough daily updates along with great photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly friendly and truly went above and beyond in caring for Juni. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'll definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Jessica was, once again, amazing and available on short notice!! Indy was clearly very comfortable and well-loved in her care. It was great to know he was in safe and familiar hands! Regular updates and easy coordination/flexibility with drop-off and pick-up. Attentive to behavioral quirks. Without hesitation, I continue to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for stellar animal care!

Tyler did an incredible job taking care of our cat, who has a rather challenging personality. He was incredibly caring, patient, and created a comfortable environment for our cat to thrive in. He kept us informed multiple times a day through messages and shared amazing photos and videos. We completely relied on him, and he exceeded our expectations. Now that we’re planning to leave the city again, we know exactly who to call to board our cat.

A+ experience! Raider had a wonderful time, and we loved receiving the daily photos and updates. It was clear he was happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself. Kiki was kind, gentle, and truly caring—exactly what you hope for when leaving your beloved pet with someone else. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked his next stay. Perfect for our spoiled fur baby! Highly recommend. 🐾💕

Madison and Adam are the best sitters ever! They send plenty of pictures and Minnie got plenty of walks. They were flexible when I had to drop her off and pick her up a little after the original scheduled time due to flights. Minnie came back, so happy and energized. She had a mini vacation herself! I definitely recommend them to anyone.

I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Dayton on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 814 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dayton. About 92% of Dayton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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.
