“Maureen was an absolutely wonderful caregiver to Rocky! She was extremely accommodating of us dropping him off later in the day and picking him up early. She sent us updates, even though he didn't stay with her for long and eased our worries! We would highly recommend!”
“Easy 6 out of 5. Jaimie is an excellent sitter, she made sure my pup was happy, active, and comfortable... what more can you ask for with your best fuzzy buddy. I would easily recommend Jaimie to anyone looking for the "right choice" of sitter. She is someone who clearly knows what she's doing, and is very accommodating with people's schedules. She's awesome.”
“Dhara and her family were friendly and caring hosts for our little man Mr. Darcy. That includes their pooch “Coco” who was playful and not territorial with a visiting doggie scampering around the house. Dhara sent plenty of updates and photos during Mr. Darcy’s visit as of an upcoming longer stay. The stay could not have gone better, and we’re very confident and comfortable leaving Mr. Darcy in the caring hands Dhara and her family going forward. Its clear that they’re “dog people” who care.”
“Pam was great! This was our first time boarding our puppy and he did so well. She was very nice and responsive to my questions. She communicated and sent videos throughout his stay. He seemed very happy there, we will definitely use her again.”
“Thana & Subangi were wonderful! They treated my pets like one of their own. All pictures and videos sent throughout the 9 days showed happy, well taken care of doggies. Plenty of outdoor fun and extra care taken during meals. Dogs were given alot of attention. I am so pleased and will definitely leave my dogs in their care again!”
“Tanvi and her family were truly wonderful, as always! I can tell from all the photos and videos that Dante has the time of his life whenever he visits. He loves running around their large fenced backyard with the other doggies, snoozing on various comfy couches in their house, and getting all the pets & snuggles he could ever dream of. I would definitely go with Tanvi again (and again!) for future boarding.”
“Can’t say enough about how great Debbi was with Buddy. Debbi’s warmth and love for animals was apparent from our first meeting. While we were away Debbi sent updates and pictures which was awesome! Do not have any hesitation in asking her to look after your pets. She is great!”
“Catherine was extremely attentive and caring for our Mabel! She came back super excited and very well-cared for. Catherine is a great choice, especially if your dog tends to be more comfortable in a setting without other dogs!”
“Victoria has been such a gift to my dog Tabb and I. I am temporarily in the area for work and Victoria walks my 15yo terrier Tabb. She also was willing to watch Tabb for a few days while I was away. She has been kind, responsive, punctual, and accommodating. I highly recommend her.”
“Was worried since this was a first time visiting this house with Milo and Maui but they looked so comfortable! I was so happy to see my cats and Lenny was so sweet and caring. Both my cats were able to have seperate rooms which was also so great.”
“Here’s a polished version of your Rover feedback: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lineth was amazing with my pet! She’s very caring and made sure my pet felt comfortable and happy throughout the stay. I really appreciate how accommodating she was with my early drop-off and pickup times. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and caring.”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received from Raj. Our puppy is 18 months and has never been away from us until she needed boarding for 8 nights. We received photos and videos from Raj daily which was so appreciated. We could tell that our pup was being taken care of like she was their own dog. We would definitely use Raj again and very highly recommend.”
“Gerry is the best. We just left our puppy with her for his first overnight stay and he was received with lots of love and attention. Would definitely recommend Gerry to others.”
“Harleny was an awesome dog sitter. She took care of Ruby as if she was her own fur baby. Ruby also loved her a lot. She also shared lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so happy and felt she was in safe hands even if we were miles away from her. Will definitely reach out to her on our next vacation.”
“We have used Amy several times, she replies quickly and has been very pleasant and flexible to work with when dates had to be changed. She took great care of Shadow and sent photos. Shadow is happy to go back to Amy and have fun playing at with her pups.”
“Kate did an amazing job taking care of my baby kitten, Bella! She provided frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my kitten was in great hands. Her care and attention to detail were exceptional, and I truly appreciated her reassurance throughout. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Noria was fantastic with my dog Nala. She boarded her in her home and made sure Nala had lots of fun and was well cared for. Norias love for animals shows through in all she does while caring for my puppy. Noria is very enthusiastic, warm and caring. I would highly recommend her services.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dayton
I cannot rave enough about Jessica! She gave my Trixie a home away from home. My dog suffers with separation anxiety and is a rescue we adopted only a year ago. The entire time Jessica was responsive sending pictures and videos keeping updates on how she was doing. After just a day Trixie was bopping around and cuddled up next to her. I was able to rest assured that my dog was in good hands and able to enjoy myself on my cruise. Jessica has that magic touch and must be a dog whisperer because Trixie is very hesitant to warm up to new people. She is Trixie's home away from home and is our go to girl!
Britney was very communicative and sent cute pictures that showed Gaia out on activities, which was much appreciated! Britney was also flexible and worked with my somewhat hectic travel schedule to make sure I could drop off and pick up Gaia when it was best for me. Would absolutely book again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Dayton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dayton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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 NJ 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.
