“Alicia is great! My golden looked happy n relaxed when I picked him up. No ptsd or anxiety like his last sitter experience. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing. I think he even misses her ? That just makes me feel that much better when it comes time to board him again! Thank you Alicia!!”
“Wonderful! Easy drop off and pickup! Remy was super happy (and tired) when I picked him up. We would definitely use Sophia & Travis again! Their pups (Reginald & Ragnarock) were so sweet too! Thanks for making a nervous puppy Mom at ease :)”
“My dog Murphy was happy. Communication with Meghann was clear with the updates/questions/requests and she always responded quickly. Predictable and calm environment. I am happy to have someone now in the Otsego area available I can rely upon!”
“Dizzy had a great time playing with other pups! Came home tired, something that doesn’t always happen with our high energy pup. Linnea and Nate are super friendly and welcoming.”
“This was a great experience for both us and Louie. We appreciated the pictures that showed Louie outside, walking and smiling! Knowing he was doing well made us feel comfortable and worry free.”
“Kristi was wonderful with Hazel. Hazel had fun playing puzzles and going through a tunnel, she was so good with her. Kristi treated her like part of the family. It was our first time using her and we definitely will go back again. Thank you Kristi”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“Derek and his family take such good care of our dogs, we have booked with him several times now. When we drop them off and they go inside his house they don't even look back at us lol. This time we booked last minute and over the 4th of July holiday weekend so it was a double whammy. We were so relieved to find out Derek was available! Thanks to Derek and his family we know our dogs have a home away from home 😊 Thanks again Derek! We'll be booking again soon.”
“It was just a short stay, but Bruce (and his dogs) were very welcoming! Zeni seemed happy when I picked her and it was just so nice to have an easy convenient place for me to drop off my dog and not have to worry about her!! I highly recommend Bruce!”
“Cindy was super nice! Also made sure we got lots of pictures and video of our puppy! Would recommend her to anyone. She was also very responsive with messages and coordinating everything! If we need it again we will definately be checking with her first!”
“This was our first time with Brenda and Alvin. We appreciate that Zeke was well taken care of and had plenty of fun toys and attention! Appreciated the pictures, videos and updates. Thank you! Zeke will be back :)”
“Our cat had a great time staying with Manami. Manami was patient with her feeding schedule and gave her lots of snuggles. We'll definitely ask her to sit again next time we're out of town.”
“Kira took great care of our pup on his first Rover stay! He was pretty nervous but she and her dogs made him feel comfortable in no time. Kira gives great updates throughout the stay, and is quick to respond. I would highly recommend her and will continue to ask her to care for my dog in the future.”
“Anna was GREAT with our pups. She was so communicative while we were away, and our dogs came home happy and tired. That’s the sign of a great time! We would trust our dogs with Anna again anytime!”
“Yuliya was awesome! You can tell she really loves animals! I got regular updates and pictures! Izzy became a part of her family? I live in an apartment so Izzy doesn't get to run outside as often as she would like and Yuliya had the perfect backyard for Izzy to run and play! We'll definitely be back?”
“Our dog had a great stay with Andrea! She sent lots of photos and videos and updates about him, and he had so much fun playing with her pups! She gave him lots of snuggles and love, we will definitely have him stay with her again. Thank you Andrea!!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dayton on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 2,161 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% 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 MN 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.
