Top rated Dayton pet sitters

“Jillian took fantastic care of our high-energy pup. She was super communicative and proactive. We’d recommend her absolutely and look forward to working with her again.”


“Samantha has been such a lifesaver! All my dog needs is a quick trip outside to potty during the work day, but Samantha goes above and beyond every day. She gives Mona pets and out-of-crate time and will refill her water or change her blankets if that’s needed! I can tell how much she loves dogs because she is a great caretaker! She is also a great photographer and gets better pictures of my dog than I ever have. Because of Samantha, Mona is much less anxious when I am gone and she no longer pees in the house! I am very grateful for her!!”


“Elizabeth did a great job watching our dogs. We did a meet and greet beforehand and they really got along with her well. She provided regular updates and communicated well. I'd recommend using Elizabeth to watch your pets.”


About: I firmly believe that dogs are four-legged angels on this planet that deserve the very best from we humans. They give us their best every day, who are we to deny them of anything less in return?! As a dog walker and visitor through Rover, I provide my furry and human clients with nothing less than exceptional care, safety and compassion! I’m currently taking time off from teaching special education after 15 years! I’ve decided my next venture will be through Rover providing exceptional care, commitment, and compassion for dogs and their humans. I’ve truly never met a dog I haven’t loved and can’t wait to meet yours too. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide for your pet care. Safety is my top priority when working with dogs. Additionally, I will adhere to any preferred training methods as I know the value of consistency in training dogs. I’m an honest and thorough person ready to help you and your pet live your best lives.

“Aimee is responsive, friendly, and great with my Cattle dog. I have a particularly anxious dog, and Amy has been great with him. She was patient and has been a great dog walker and drop in service for me.”


“Julie was great! Our kitty Ripley was happy and well taken care of! Julie did exactly what we needed and asked for. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday and not have to worry about if Ripley kitty was okay. Julie was easy to communicate with and checked in so we were sure all was well. We would absolutely reach out and trust Julie to check in on Ripley again. Thank you Julie!”


About: Professional Pet Snuggler, Dog Walker Extraordinaire, and Treat Giver Supreme 🐾 I’m a mom of two young wild and wonderful kids (three, if you count my husband 😄) and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve lived with pets so long, I’m basically fluent in meow, woof, and squeak. With over 5 years of dog-walking experience, I’m comfy with pups of all sizes — from pocket-sized pooches to gentle giants. I’m also totally cool with cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even horses. If it has fur (or whiskers), I’m in! Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, your cat needs a snack and a snuggle, or your pet rat just wants someone to chat with — I’ve got you covered. I treat every animal like part of the family (and yes, I do talk to them like they’re tiny humans). Ready to bring joy, treats, and tummy rubs — can’t wait to meet your whiskered pal! As a stay-at-home mom, part-time admin, and dance instructor, I’m no stranger to juggling schedules — and I’ve got the flexibility to fit in pet care when you need it most. Whether it’s during the school year or the summer shuffle, I can usually make it work. Need a midday walk? A last-minute drop-in? A cuddle buddy for your cat while you’re away? I’ve got you covered! I don’t offer pet sleepovers at my place (our house is already a zoo!), but I’m more than happy to come to yours. Your pets will stay comfy in their own cozy corners while I handle the food, walks, belly rubs, and more. I'm super respectful of your home and always treat it like it’s my own. I’m also very mindful of home safety and security — you can count on me to treat your space with respect and care while you’re away.


“As always, Rhea was absolutely incredible with our Clover! Leaving for a week or more is so hard knowing your pet has to stay behind but the assurance is someone as caring and attentive as Rhea makes it a lot easier. Not only does our cat have her food, water and litter taken care of, she gets plenty of love!”


“I am so thankful to have found Nicole! She dropped in to feed and give potty breaks to our dog, Zeus, while we were out of state for a wedding. Nicole was so kind and caring when we met for a meet and greet, and made sure we were on the same page. We received pictures and updates, she was punctual, and communicated throughout the entire weekend. When we got home, Zeus was happy and comfortable. We will absolutely be reaching out to Nicole for any future sitter needs! Thank you, Nicole!”


About: Hello! My name is Amy, and I am a nursing student at USM! I have a deep devotion and love for all animals and I grew up with many different kinds; my favorites have always been dogs and cats! I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages in the workplace and in my personal life, even my dad’s police K-9 dog. To me animals are angels on earth and deserve a loving, caring, and compassionate atmosphere! Whether you are on a trip, at work, or in need of some extra help, you can count on me to keep your furry family member happy and safe! I am currently enrolled full-time in college, and I am looking for a flexible but beneficial job! On days that I do not have classes I am available to give all of my attention to your pets! I’ve always loved working with dogs and cats, and I love spending time with animals in my free time. I am a very aware and cautious person who will constantly advocate for your pets safety. It is always my top priority that your pet is having a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience! I am sensitive to the needs of animals and I will always do whatever it takes to keep them safe and happy!


About: I am a dog lover at heart and they know it! Wherever I visit I often find their fur baby right by my side. I have taken dog training classes and lean on my naturally loving and patient talents to create that bond. I'm looking forward to being there when you can't be.❤️ I work from home and your fur baby will be great company. My work schedule has some flexibility which allows me the time to give them the time and attention they need. I do have a backyard where pets can play. The yard is not fenced in but I do have a long leash that allows them the ability to enjoy the space in the backyard. I'm close to the Eastern trail and a dog park that I always enjoyed taking my little Joey to! He always enjoyed being right by my side when home and know your fur baby will too. 😊

“Emma checked in on our prized possessions for a little over a week and we could not be more pleased! She sent loads of photos, ensured our babies were well taken care of, and gave us the peace of mind we needed while away from our treasures!”


“This was our 3rd time having Kat take care of Arlo and Topper. Being so confident in the knowledge that Kat will love and care for my boys the same way I do makes all the difference when it comes to enjoying vacation. She is a treasure!”


“The last time we had Katelyn take care of our boy it was planned well in advance but we had a last-minute need and she said yes! He got a nice walk & was a happy pup when we got home. Huge relief 🙂”


About: I frequently petsit my friend dogs and cats when they are out of town. I grew up with dogs and really miss having one at home. I work full time, but my hours are a bit flexible. I'm available most days and if I have a blocked off day you really need petsitting, please let me know and mostly I probably adjust my schedule. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks! I typically enjoy spending as much time as possible with your pet! I love going on long walks and quick runs with pets. Please let me know if you have any particular care needs for your pets!


About: I'm highly dependable and punctual, and I always provide clear updates so you know how the walk went. You’ll never be left wondering—just happy to see your dog getting great care and exercise while you’re away or busy. I work a full-time job Monday - Friday, with remote work at the beginning of the week and an hour-long break each day for those local to my office in Portland. My weekends are typically open, as I have Saturdays and Sundays off work. Generally speaking, I may be able to accommodate walks before 8 am and after 5 pm throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and their routine with respect. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, wiping paws, or giving meds—and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. For walks, I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether they’re a high-energy pup who loves to explore or a senior who enjoys a slow stroll, I make sure they’re getting the right amount of exercise, enrichment, and love. After every visit, I send an update so you know how things went and how your pet is doing!

About: The importance of your pet and their health are very important to me. As a dog owner I am educated and have personal experience with pets. My whole life I have always had a furry friend with me and could not imagine living without one. I am very patient and understanding of shy pets. My dog, Ruby, is a rescue from Georgia who was abused. When we first got her she was very timid and would get startled by any noise around her. Now that we have had her for 2 years she is like a whole different dog. With lots of love she has finally gotten to a point of safety and happiness to enjoy her environment without worry anymore. Hopefully my story helps with your decision!
