“Kristy was amazing! She gave constant updates and sent bunches of photos! She was also amazing in calming my fears of leaving Zig for a long weekend. Zig obviously had a great time and came home an excited, but exhausted, pup.”
“Stephen and his family were great with our dog (and family member) Rainey. So much better to have a loving family take care of her than boarding her. I highly recommend them. Scott”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”
“Kaitie and Evan did a great job keeping my dogs who suffer from separation anxiety relaxed and assured they were safe while we were away for seven days. Thank you Kaitie and Evan. - Cindy”
“Ronel was amazing with our 3 pups! This was our first time leaving our 8 month old puppy and she helped ease the anxiety by sending us daily updates and pictures. The dogs had an amazing time with Ronel and Willow. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
“I was nervous about leaving our dog for a 9-day stay, when the most we had ever been away from her was for 3 days. But Jenn took wonderful care of our dog, sent daily pictures and updates, and I soon realized our dog was having a vacation of her own. From other dogs to play with, a fenced backyard and doggy door, our dog lived her best life. Thanks Jenn for taking excellent care of Ellie!”
About: I’ve been around working dogs most of my life, breeding and raising high-drive dogs and learning how to properly handle different personalities and temperaments. I’ve worked with trainers across the country and have experience with obedience, structure, play, confidence building, and understanding dogs on more than just a basic level. Whether it’s a high-energy working dog or a laid-back family pet, I focus on making dogs feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for like they’re my own. I work with dogs full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, structure, and hands-on care throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I have crates available in multiple sizes, four outdoor runs, and a fully fenced yard to give dogs plenty of safe space and exercise. I also have a very social, well-mannered dog that can interact and play with client dogs if wanted. If preferred, I can also easily keep dogs completely separate thanks to how my setup is designed — whatever makes the owner most comfortable.
“She is amazing and very attentive to taking care of our pets! She is sweet and gentle with them and I recommended her. She accommodates to your pets a lot and adapts to different feedings very well! Her dogs are super amazing with ours and so sweet!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 113 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Dayton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 MO 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.
