Top rated Dayton house sitters


“Amy was super prompt, even though the weather was terrible and the roads were flooded! She asked a lot of questions and was very responsive, sent some great pics and I would use her again.”


“Rachael was loved immediately by my pup! She helped me in a pinch last minute when I needed overnight care. She is kind, punctual, sent me updates & stayed in touch. It’s really nice to not have to reach out about your pet, and to already have updates and photos when you check your phone!!! Delilah and I look forward to working with you again. 😊”


“Jillian is amazing. She took such great care of my dog & house while I was away. She kept me posted with fantastic updates & communication the whole time & I couldn’t recommend her more. I already booked her for my next trip!”


“I cannot leave a good enough review for Julie. If you are looking for a house sitter, animal lover, someone to hang out with your crew she is exactly who you were looking for. Everyone was happy and well cared for when we got home and Julie was so flexible with us as we had difficult flight cancellations and change of plans during travel. Cannot recommend enough. 10 out of 10.”


“Nishat was absolutely phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our Ellie. She sent us updates, photos, and communication was top notch. She was devoted to our pup during their time together. We are truly happy and will definitely be using Nishat again!”


“Ayreal was thorough, attentive, communicated at every step and kept in touch throughout the whole process. She sent photos and updates and made sure all our fur babies were well taken care of. She was very patient with our female cat who is usually the less social one and also took great care of our house and plants as well! We would definitely work with Ayreal again, a trustworthy sitter all around.”



“Joey loves when we get Lori to sit with him! He always has fun and she keeps us informed throughout the day with updates and pictures. Plus I’m always at complete ease when Lori is sitting.”


“Faith is so amazing! She has a gift and we are so happy we found her. Nala, our German shepherd took to her right away. And if you know anything about German shepherds, they are very fickle and don't connect with just anybody. I highly recommend Faith to stay at your home or whatever your need is with your puppies.”


About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)

“Eli is amazing! My dogs instantly loved him, which always makes it so much easier to leave your four legged loved ones with someone you don't know. This was our first time using Eli, and there is no question that we will have him back. I loved the updates, he was super easy going and my dogs were happy as could be.”


“We would absolutely book Kayla again! She was incredibly communicative throughout, and from the photos she sent, it was clear our dog was happy and comfortable with her—his wagging tail said it all. Since he's not typically used to being around others, we were thrilled with how well he settled in. Kayla was also very accommodating to all of our requests. Thank you, Kayla!”


“Katelyn was wonderful! We hired her to housesit & stay with our dog while we were gone for 2 days. She is a sweet person, clearly loves dogs & was easy to make plans with. She and our dog were fast friends. She sent me regular updates on how he was doing w/ pics & responded quickly when I missed my pup & needed a check in. When we got back home, other than a very well-cared for & happy dog, you couldn't even tell she had been there. Everything was how we left it. Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Katelyn!”


“Aimee did a great job house sitting for us and watching over our dogs. This was our first experience with Rover and she was kind enough to come do a meet and greet prior to the overnight we requested. Her calm, professional and caring approach was sincerely appreciated! Would certainly rebook! Thank you Aimee!”


“Emma was wonderful, receptive, and sent plenty of updates!! She played with our pups, loved on them, and even let them sleep with her while we were away. She’s completely trust-worthy, responsible, and left our home spotless. We will definitely be using Emma again 😊”


“Victoria is the absolute best. She spent the day with my pup Joey and gave him lots of love and cuddles. He is super relaxed with her and I will 100% be a repeat customer. ❤️”


“Nicole took great care of my spoiled little boy! She took him on several beach outings and sent me pictures of him. She collected my mail while I was away and left my house spotless! I would highly recommend Nicole if you need a caring and responsible sitter for your furbaby.”


“Ashley was great with Gus and Chloe, she was very communicative throughout the week and was flexible on a time adjust. I even heard from our neighbor she was very attentive to Gus and did a lot of outdoor playing. Would request Ashley again when needed.”
