“Dexter and Eddy had one of the most wonderful stay. They came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. The sweetest touch? They gave both pups a puppy cup and even sang "Happy Birthday" to Dexter for his special day! 🎂 It meant the world to see how much they cared. Both boys were all tail wags and smiles the entire time. Thank you again for making Dexter’s birthday so memorable and for taking such great care of our boys.”
“Sarah did a great job keeping my 2yr old mini aussie for 5 days while we went out of state. She kept me posted on how he was doing and she sent me pics on the regular. Highly recommend! She also has dogs herself and Rio loved it! I think he misses his friends ❤️”
“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!”

About: I have had dogs in my home since I was 5 years old. I love all types of dogs, and people have always called me the animal whisperer. I love and care about all animals and relish the opportunity to spoil your furry family member while you're away! I've cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, and I also have 10 years of experience as a vet tech, so I can handle anything from the day-to-day care of your pet to high-stress situations that require additional knowledge and attention. I work a fully remote job and I'm home all the time. I'm happy to work with you on a unique boarding schedule that works for you. Vacations are stressful enough, and I understand that plans change, so I'm happy to accommodate your schedule to the best of my ability. Please don't hesitate to reach out with additional questions about scheduling! I have one dog of my own and she loves to make new friends! I enjoy having companions for her in the house because they wear her out! She will be thrilled to keep your fur baby company and give them a fantastic vacation while you're enjoying your time away. I can accommodate a crate for your dog for meal times, sleeping, or training if needed. Please don't hesitate to reach out with additional questions about care!
“They did an amazing job with Nymeria. She was slow to warm up at first, but they kept me updated and reassured me that she was starting to come out of her shell and get comfortable. The communication they provided was very much appreciated and made me feel so much more comfortable knowing she was in a safe and loving environment. She is back home and sleeping soundly now, and I know she had a great time and received plenty of care and attention. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands and not sitting in a cold kennel without much human interaction. I truly appreciated the care, patience, and communication throughout her stay. I will absolutely be using their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.”
“Maura and her husband are super friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. My two large dogs appeared to be well taken care of. Maura communicated well with updates and photos. I highly recommend her.”
“Sally seemed very happy and comfortable with Samantha. I got a few photos throughout the week and updates about how she was doing. Samantha was very communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“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!”
“Kylie was a true lifesaver when I couldn’t figure out who to watch over Peaches last minute. She was so understanding and communicative! She kept me updated on how Peaches was. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Nala probably felt like she was being dropped off at a five star resort haha she loves a good farm. Kaitie was very communicative & flexible with pick up. Would definitely book again.”
About: We are a loving family with various animal experience. My husband has owned cattle and horses and I have owned a horse along with several family dogs. We house sat for an elderly dog earlier this year and would love to look after yours. We did a lot of training with our heeler and are familiar with training collars. On the days your pet is here we will be here to love on and let out as needed. On the occasion we need to leave the house we ask to either have your pet in the kitchen or crated. We have a fenced in yard, an energetic heeler, new lab puppy and 2 kiddos to love and play with your pet. If I'm coming to your house there's the chance I'll have my kiddos with me to walk and play.
“Aubrey was great. My return flight ended up being later than I thought and she kept Moz for an extra half day no problem. This was the second time she’s watched my pup and I’m comfortable leaving my dog with her for extended stays. Thanks Aubrey!”
“Susan was fantastic! She responds quickly to any questions. Peaches had a wonderful time. Susan sent lots of pictures of Peaches enjoying her visit with the other pets and out in the backyard. Thanks so much for taking great care of my girl!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
