“Alicia was great. She sent me pics of Lacie showing me that she was feeling comfortable and enjoying her stay. She took her outside for a while as well! Thanks Alicia for making Lacie feel comfortable!”
“I was gifted a female Husky and knew that she needed a pack. I started searching Rover and we found Linnea about 6 months ago. She is attentive to my girl Kimbers needs, great with multiple dogs and she has been flexible with my schedule. Both Kimber and myself are very lucky to be part of Linneas pack!”

“Dropped Teddy off for a couple hours of daycare with Lisa. She was so kind to him, took him for a nice walk and gave him lots of pets. He seemed to have loved his stay. Would definitely recommend Lisa to others seeking quality pet care!”
“Kristi was super nice to host my puppy with such short notice! And she showed how much she cares since the very beginning, introducing him to the other dogs to sure everything would run smoothly. She’s a very nice lady, very communicative, took some nice pictures and took really good care of my puppy! He loved his stay and her other dogs, came back home happy and tired. I definitely recommend her!”
“Lori made me feel very confident she would take excellent care of Kola. Provided updates throughout the day. Her home is clean and quiet. Highly recommend, will definitely use again!”
“Melissa did an amazing job of caring for our 16 week old puppy Enzo. Her communication was great and made us so comfortable that Enzo was in good hands. Will be booking with here the next time we need care!”
“Thank you yet again Kyle and family! Our dog Quincy was excited to visit Coco and all of you. He is always so happy when we pick him up. I'm sure our paths will cross again when we come to visit MN. Best wishes and Thank you again for all the times you provided such special care to Quincy!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including my own. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications if needed, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I adapt to their individual needs and routines to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping pets company, I can easily adapt to their normal routine and give them the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily routines. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and close supervision to keep them safe and happy while you’re away.
“Christina took good care of my dogs! I was a little nervous about leaving them, but we met the week before to see her and the yard, so when it was time to leave them there, they went with Christina easily. She walked them and sent me pictures during the day :)”
“Yuliya took great care of Millie and Rooster. She sent several photos of their stay and they were happy in all of them bounding around her yard and wagging it up. They were very comfortable with Yuliya and I will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Maureen was a wonderful caretaker for my foster pup. She kept him busy and he was wiped out by the time I picked him up! Lots of good photos and updates throughout the day. She was flexible with pickup time too which was super helpful considering I work 30 mins away and my commute can vary given traffic. Time. She made my foster dog feel very loved!”
“I can’t thank Liuba enough for taking care of Zoey. From the moment I met her I felt assured that Zoey was in great hands! Walks and playtime - Liuba made sure that Zoey got plenty of exercise. Zoey absolutely loved her walks and had a blast playing with Bruno. It was heartwarming to see how happy she was!”
About: I am a huge dog lover. Whether it is taking your fur child for an over night visit, taking them for a walk, or letting them outside to potty and play, I absolutely love dogs and am happy to help out! I know what it is like leaving your fur child behind so he or she will be in good hands while you’re away! I am an active person so walks for a mile or two will never be a problem! I also love to play fetch if that is what they like to do! Your fur child will get caring attention while you are gone and hopefully create regular care taking so they can always feel excited to see me when the time is needed! I also am a cat lover so if your cat needs to be checked on while you’re away and refresh water, food, treats and attention I will be more than happy to do that too! I work from home and am able to take breaks where needed so your pup will be well tended to at my home or easy to go check on at your home! I have a fenced in backyard that will allow your pup to roam while outside. I’m happy to abide by any of your household routines when checking in at your home as well.
About: As animal enthusiasts, your pets happiness and health is our passion! Your pet will receive personalized care and attention just as it does when home with you (no kenneling here). Walks, belly rubs, playing/chasing after balls, brushing, relaxing, all come with no extra charge! We understand how stressful a kennel environment can be on your pet, especially smaller and older dogs. Most often your dog will be the only dog that stays with us when visiting. I take special care in making sure the dogs are compatible. Even though we don't have a fenced in yard, your dog will be personally walked by me many times throughout the day. I know when your dog has gone to the bathroom and not left unsupervised outside for hours (or with other dogs). Why your Pet will love it here: -it's a calm/relaxed home environment, they will feel safe (no stress of other dogs) -they will get LOTS of attention all throughout the day (I'm home all day) and feel loved -same routine as home (feeding, walks, potty breaks) so they know what to expect We are animal lovers so we enjoy pet care, we have 3 cats. We enjoy having dogs visit and stay with us, it gives us the opportunity to help families who need care for their beloved pet and a chance for us to pamper a dog for a few days and enjoy them! We do not have any dogs so it’s most likely your dog will be the only one staying with us, we like calm, low key environments so your dog can be relaxed and feel safe.
About: I love dogs of all kinds. I am very flexible and will take excellent care of your fur friend so you can have a relaxing vacation. I live in the western cities, it’s like the country with a lot of farmland but still close to the city. We have acreage so a lot of space to exercise and play. I have my own dog and children, so your pet must do well with other dogs and children. Your dog will get walks, I can brush them, brush their teeth and clip toenails and spend time by giving them love and affection. I look forward to meeting you and your fur friend. You can relax knowing your fur friend is in good hands. Thank you for your consideration. I work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding every day of the week. I have 2 acres of unfenced yard so your pet can run and play under constant super vision. I do have 50 foot leads if your pup is easily distracted. My friendly dog will keep your fur baby company, she loves to play.

Our active, curious dog had a great time at Hannah's! They have a great home for dogs and are wonderful to work with. Our dog was happy (and tired!) after his day hanging out with her and the family pets. We will certainly use Hannah again, and add Hannah and Brandon to our short list of Marlowe's favorite Rover homes! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dayton on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,422 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dayton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,422 sitters in Dayton, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
