“Catrina was a great dog walker/dog sitter for Bella. She provided ample updates with pictures and was very communicative. I completely trust her with Bella. Bella is also a big German Shepherd and she was able to walk her and feed her exactly as I would. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog.”
About: Many years of pets experience having my own pets and also pet sitting for family/ friends. I have 4 cats of my own who are my absolute world. One being a blind senior who does need guidance and a little extra lovins. I love your pets as much as my own! Currently I have open availability. My days are free and I’m willing to tend to pet needs in a pinch. Life happens and I’m happy to be available. I have 4 cats of my own who need care. They have litter boxes which are cleaned regularly. My home is zen and calm just the way we like it here!
“Pam did a great job with our Maggie! She was very happy and content when we got back home. She also sent a couple pictures while she was taking care of her. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“After deciding that a kennel would not work out for our dog, Lady, we saw Stacey’s info on Rover.com We had a nice meet and greet and as soon as our Lady walked over to her and connected, our decision was made. Besides the Rover updates, she stayed in touch personally. She gave us peace of mind.”
“Yasmine took care of our three cats while we were away. All the daily cat care routines were done well. What’s very heartening- out of all different pet sitters we had, Yasmine manages to take the best pictures! This really helps as we miss our cats when we are away.”
“Nina was great with our cat. She is 100% reliable, always showing up on schedule and staying for the full duration of her appointment. She engaged well with our shy cat, and he warmed up to her and began building more trust in her - flopping onto his side, eating when she was here, looking like he was ready to play. We will definitely use her again!”
“Hon did a fantastic job taking care of my fur babies while I was out for a week and a half. Besides being very loving, the kitties are doing well…and my home was cared for with respect. Hon is fantastic!”
“Took care of my kitty like her own. Even brought her a scratching pad. The pictures that were taken were beautiful and made me feel good while on vacation knowing my kitty was in good hands. A++”
“Heather did an incredible job taking care of our cats. She was responsible and communicative. Our travel coincided with the recent blizzard; she adjusted her plans to visit before the storm hit and offered to visit again if we could not make it back in time. Needless to say, we were very happy with the care she provided.”
“Megan is a great communicator and made our dogs (and us) very happy! She showed up on exactly time and followed our directions to the tee. We will definitely hire her again!”
“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”
“Kaitlyn and my dog Brakki became friends instantly. She was on time and considered all of my notes when she did her drop in visit. I recommend her to help care for your pets”
“Vee was a very thorough sitter for my 2 year old cat. She took the time to visit with my cat beforehand and really understand her needs and what she’s used to. Vee sent me plenty of photos and a very detailed follow up note about her visit. My cat is definitely very particular and Vee did a great job caring for her!”
“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”
“Aayush has been a very reliable and conscientious sitter! He took excellent care of our cat's feeding schedule and a clean litter. Gave us complete peace of mind to trust Aayush when we had an emergency international travel. We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and helpful Rover. I highly recommend Aayush to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal isn’t just to walk your pup—it’s to make sure they come home happy, safe, and mentally fulfilled As a dog owner myself, caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily routine. I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while their owners have peace of mind. I know how important it is to run on a strict schedule. As I own a dog myself, she too is provided with strict feeding and walking times that fit our schedule. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is treated with the same care and respect!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dayton
Mutsuko was a wonderful cat sitter! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. She was kind, attentive, and thoughtful. She meticulously looked after our cat Cheddar’s needs (fresh food, water, litter, etc.) and health. And also considered his emotional well being, playing with him, mixing in various toys and leaving some out in fun places so he could play when she was gone. She gave us wonderful reports which we looked forward to each day. We missed him, but could really enjoy our vacation knowing he was in the best hands. Cheddar really bonded with her, which is just as important as us being happy with her! Her husband Toru is also terrific and his love of cats is evident! We will definitely be using them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,275 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dayton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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.
