“Mellie is a wonderful, kind and caring person, she took excellent care of Murray. It was the first time Murray stayed with Mellie, and she texted me whenever she had questions about him; she communicates very quickly.. It's very comforting knowing that Murray was getting such loving care while I was away. Thank you Mellie and Murray will definitely come to visit again-”

“I am so glad to find Stephanie from Rover. She and her husband took very good care of my fur baby, and they are awesome and so easy to work with. We received pictures and update everyday, and it was so nice to see those when we were away. I always worry that my dog won't get along very well with other dogs, as a border collie. It turned out so great that he got along with Stephanie's two fur babies very well, and had a great time with them. When I picked him up , he went back to his friends for a few times and did not want to leave them, How sweet! I will definitely book with her again.”
“Crystal was absolutely fantastic! From the start, she did a thorough meet and greet and was incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. I felt completely at ease trusting her with my senior dog. Throughout the stay, she sent frequent updates with pictures and detailed descriptions, which I really appreciated. My dog looked so happy, especially getting to socialize with other dogs. I would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“This was our pet’s second stay with Susan and he got so excited in the car as if he knew where he was! He walked in and immediately ran to Susan to say hello and started making himself at home by emptying the toy basket. He enjoyed plenty of walks outside and we could tell he was def comfortable and had a nice time!”
“Felt very comfortable boarding our dog with Nettie. We had a great meet and greet with her and her dogs first which gave us a lot of confidence. Our dog has some special needs and she was very tuned into ensuring he'd have a safe and fun stay.

We received lots of videos of him during his visit and look forward to going back to her again.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dayton on Rover is $47.08 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Dayton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dayton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dayton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dayton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dayton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
