“Sha was a wonderful drop-in cat sitter for our shy/sometimes spicy cat. She was very easy to communicate with and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Would absolutely recommend her and would book again.”

About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a longtime pet owner myself, I’m attentive to routines, behavior changes, and safety, and I focus on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and well cared for in a stress-free environment. I currently work a hybrid schedule and return to the office a few days each week. I plan pet care around my work hours and am available for visits after work on office days, with more flexibility on remote days. I always make sure visits are reliable, calm, and never rushed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while caring for them in their own home. I follow instructions closely, respect routines and boundaries, and maintain a clean, calm environment. I’m careful with doors, food, and litter areas, and I always prioritize safety, close observation, and clear communication with owners.

“We were extremely pleased with the service Samantha provided when she stayed at my mother’s house and took care of her arthritic 13 year old cat. She immediately had a good rapport with my mom’s cat, sent us pictures, updated us, and even brushed her cat. She came over in the middle of the day to feed her too. She was available and responded in a timely fashion when we needed to extend the job. She even reached out to us to make sure my mother had a key when she returned. She left the house looking exactly the way my mom left it. We couldn’t even tell anyone had stayed there. She even got rid of some dead flowers that were in a bouquet on the table and left the good ones. We highly recommend Samantha for your house sitting and pet sitting needs.”

About: I have been petsitting for over 10 years now! I absolutely love animals, and I see it as a real gift to care for other people’s beloved companions. I’ve had the pleasure of sitting for both cats and dogs, and earlier this year I also ran a small farm on my own for three weeks, caring for goats and chickens. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and deeply caring; maintaining structure and routine for animals while also offering plenty of affection, cuddles, and attention. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and caring for your home and pets! I am a writer who uses petsitting opportunities to focus on my writing! I also teach yoga & playwriting and host events! My weekly routine is pretty flexible in many ways so if you have a unique time or petsitting request, please reach out! I take being in other people's homes to be a matter of great responsibility and care. I have had the honor of pet sitting all over the world now, and I really treat other people's homes as my home when I am there. I am very clean and attentive to details. I am also the type of person to go for long walks, meditate and do yoga. I don't drink, and enjoy the simple things in life. If you have a dog that love walks, we will be best friends.

“I can't say enough about Gary. We were in a tight spot when our original cat sitter had an emergency while we were already out of town and Rover helped us find another sitter fast - during a holiday weekend! Maybe it was meant to be because Gary was fantastic and we felt like our cats were in good hands from day 1. He was so attentive, sending us regular updates, pictures, and videos. Our cats are older and he even got them to play more than usual. Thank you Gary for giving us the peace of mind that enabled us to enjoy our vacation under some pretty stressful circumstances at the get-go. We will not hesitate to hire Gary again!”

About: I have a lot of experience volunteering at various animal shelters and caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I have had elderly, disabled and animals in need of help due to an illness in my care as well. I have also had limited experience training younger dogs. I am currently working completely online, so I will have plenty of time to care for animals! However, I will have commitments on most weekends. I have a spacious house, with multiple levels, which can be blocked off in case an animal may not be able to use them. I also have a large backyard with plenty of room for larger animals to run around. I have no other pets. I am also able to crate a dog in case they are crate trained, and am quite flexible with any other accommodations for an animal.

“Lisa Marie was excellent with our two high-energy dogs! She was prompt and a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures of our pups so we could see they were having a great time and gave thorough reports on how the drop-in visits went. Some of the pics she sent were actually frame-worthy!! Thank you for taking such great care of Linkin and Hudson!”

About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either. I'm currently a college student doing online classes so I have plenty of time to drop by a clients house or to have them come to mine. Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them

About: Hi, I'm Kelly!! 🐾 I'm a teacher in Somerset and a HUGE animal lover. I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind, so I make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. I grew up around dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs,who I love and adore and help my daughter take care of her 3 cats. For Dogs: Lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and routine — from energetic pups to sweet seniors, I adjust to their needs. Daily photo & video updates so you don't miss a thing! For Cats: Quiet, cozy care on THEIR terms. No forcing cuddles — just fresh litter, fresh water, playtime (if they want it), and lots of love in their own comfy space. I'm reliable, patient, & respectful and I treat every pet like family. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet — I'd love to meet your fur baby! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work as a teacher in North Brunswick, so I do drop-ins and walks before school (6-8am), after school (3:30-7pm), and all day on weekends. I live nearby and can do flexible midday visits if needed. I'm super reliable and always send photo updates! I treat your home with total respect — I stick exactly to your pet's routine for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and medications. I make sure doors and gates are always secured, water bowls are always full, and your pet gets one-on-one love and attention. I tidy up after myself, bring in mail/packages, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your baby and home are safe.

Then I will update everything here! My schedule then by April will be open from 1:30 to 7:30. Please do not hesitate to reach out…you know how life is..one second ur floating and the next your saying what happened lol. I have an enclosed balcony for easy outdoor access and I have a room to host a dog or a cat. I have two male cats of my own who are very good with other animals.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dayton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dayton is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 655 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dayton. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
