About: I’ve always had a special love for dogs and have experience caring for Havanese throughout their lives. I raised and trained my first Havanese from 3 months old, and she was a beloved part of my family for 15 wonderful years. After she sadly passed, I knew I couldn’t imagine life without a dog, so I welcomed another Havanese puppy into my family a little over a year ago. I’ve also always enjoyed spending time with my cousins and their dogs. We would get our dogs together regularly so they could play and socialize. My cousins recently welcomed a Goldendoodle into their family, and I’ve loved getting to know her as well. She enjoys long walks, playing fetch, and even dressing up! Through raising and caring for my own dogs and spending time with other dogs, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, affection, exercise, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I currently work a full-time job and typically get off around 3:30 PM, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week. I’m also available throughout the weekends and would love the opportunity to spend that time caring for and keeping your pup company! I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I always make your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and supervision while respecting your pet’s individual personality and space. I also keep a clean, secure environment and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Our pup, Alfie, was well loved and cared for by Lacey! It was a great first experience using Rover for us. She was very communicative and sent regular updates and photos. Alfie got lots of play time and was very comfortable in Lacey’s home. We highly recommend!”
“Talishia is always great with our two dogs. They love heading to her house and always look so tuckered out. She really cares for them as if they were her own. Will use her whenever we can.”
“Davis and Emma were wonderful! They have a great home for dogs with lots of space and I was so happy to see how comfortable my pups were there. I'm so grateful that Davis and Emma could look after my dogs while one of them was sick. I highly recommend Davis and Emma; my pups certainly will be back.”
“Our spunky GSP was well taken care of during our family’s week-long vacation. He was patient and unruffled by her high energy! We could tell right away that Tim loves dogs… and definitely knows how to give them a safe and comfortable home away from home. Thank you, Tim, for being so good to our sweet Ruby— it really helped us relax this week, knowing she was in good hands!”
“Mia enjoys staying with Corrie, Daniel, and family. They take such good care of her when we are away and are always our first choice when we need a sitter because we know they will give her lots of love. This was the longest we had ever been away from Mia, and we missed her so much. They were great about sending us "pupdates," which we always appreciate!”
“Chico has stayed with many Rover sitters and Promise felt the most like a true dog lover. She sent pics and videos daily and communication was great! Chico was clearly loved, highly recommend!”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Robert was the perfect host for Bambi she was so well taken care of and I had so much peace of mind with him. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“Debbie is a great! She is very friendly and kept us well informed while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her dog Theo got along well with Tessa, which made the stay even better. We would definitely trust and enjoy having Debbie watch Tessa again!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful, and Jack had an amazing stay with her. I felt great knowing he was so well taken care of while I was gone! She sent sweet updates while I was out of town and was able to accommodate on short notice. I'm so incredibly appreciative to her, and will absolutely use her services if I need to in the future!!!”
“Shreya watched my 4 year old Bernedoodle for 10 days. From the meet and greet, I could tell he would be in good, attentive hands. When I went to pick him up, he stood in the foyer with an “I live here now” look on his face. Clearly, he had a good time! My return flight was delayed and Shreya was very accommodating with modifying pickup. The videos she sent helped put my dog-mom heart at ease. I highly recommend Shreya to care for your fur babies!”
“Hee Seong took very good care of our dog Mason. We could tell by Hee Seong's daily, pictures and summaries that he was comfortable and cared for every moment of his stay. He was happily spoiled during his stay. I would definitely leave Mason with Hee Seong, again when we travel.”
“Jessica took wonderful care of my dog Minnie over a holiday weekend. Jessica was flexible, a great communicator from start to finish, and sent me regular photo updates- all of which was SO appreciated. When we got home Minnie was happy and exhausted from a weekend of fun so I could tell she had a great time. I know Minnie was in great hands with Jessica, and we would be happy to book again with her in the future!”
“Dafflyn was great. Hershey had a fantastic time with her and her dog and cat. The regular updates helped us feel at ease. She was super responsive and was able to accommodate us sort of last minute. We will definitely have Hershey stay with her again. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my family's, friends, and others dogs since I was about 12 years old. I love animals with my whole heart and want nothing that to provide your pet a safe warm place to stay while you enjoy your vacation. I work full time during the week in the city, so I don’t get home until after 4pm. I spend most of my weekend outside playing in the yard or doing yard work. Week days I take my two dogs for a walk in the morning and at night, and find lots of time to play with them before bed. My partner and I work slightly skewed hours so the dogs are never home alone for more than 8 hours during the week day. We have cameras in the living room and kitchen to keep and eye on the while we aren’t home. When watching your dog I will send you updates as frequently or infrequently as you would like me too. I will treat your pets as if they are one of my own. Mine mean the world to me, so I will treat yours the same. If boarding at my home, your pet(s) must be okay with my two dogs. They are both friendly and love to play, but can also be couch potatoes. By the end of 2026 I will have a fenced in yard. I also live within 20 minutes of a Blue Pearl ER vet clinic.
About: I've been around dogs and pets my entire life and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels through walking, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you're away, I'll ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, making walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship a regular part of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight care, and I work hard to maintain your pet's routine so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel at home while you're away. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll keep a close eye on their well-being and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
“Emily was absolutely amazing with 👻! They sent regular updates and photos, which totally put me at ease while I was away. 👻 came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Emily genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. Will definitely be booking again—highly recommend!”

Alicia has had Miles a few times now. She is very good with Miles and has been more than accommodating with Miles while in the hospital. Miles staying with Alicia and her family made my hospitalization less stressful knowing Miles was safe and in great hands. Alicia provides updates and pictures which is a great comfort to me. Thank you for your services, and your professionalism. I truly appreciate it, and you.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,236 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dayton. About 91% of Dayton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
