About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience raising my dog since he was 4 months old, including training in various methods. I’m dedicated to understanding your dog’s unique needs and providing personalized care, whether it’s puppy training or senior dog support. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to offer reliable care during evenings and weekends. I work full time during the week, but I’m available to provide attentive care starting at 4 PM on weekdays and am free for full-day care on most weekends. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe and welcoming environment, with a fenced yard for playtime and outdoor fun. My two friendly dogs enjoy the company of others, so your pet will have a buddy to socialize with. In your home, I ensure your pet’s routine is followed, providing familiar comfort and attention.
“Sha was a really great pet sitter for Kulfi. It was easy to communicate with her even during the midst of the holidays which are a very busy time, and everything went really smoothly. Thank you so much!”
“Kassidy was wonderful for a drop in with our dog, attentive to both his needs and drying him off after a spot of rain. We also appreciated the pics of his walk/playtime!”
“Xingcheng (Connie) looked after my two boys, Bobby and Jack, for 14 days while I was traveling, and she is hands-down the most reliable and best cat sitter I have ever had! She connected with them instantly, played with them regularly, and sent me tons of daily pictures and videos. I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such excellent care. She gave me regular updates on their food and kept the litter box spotlessly clean. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. I will definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her!”
“Megan M. was amazing with my pack (4) of very large boys! She was friendly and professional! I will definitely use her again if I ever need Rover to cover a day my friends and family can't! The boys definitely made a new friend! 🐾💙”
About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I work from home, so pets receive lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I have a clean, calm home with a fenced yard and currently focus on providing personalized care for small dogs and cats. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos while their pets stay with me. I currently work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with pets, keeping them comfortable, active, and well cared for in a calm and loving environment. I have a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines, while making sure every fur baby feels safe, loved, and comfortable.
“Sharyn gave us a great first time experience using rover. She was very orderly and communicative; providing us with day-to-day updates, messages, and photos of our cats. Our cats were well taken care of and she got along with them all, including our temperamental little boy. I would recommend choosing Sharyn to watch over your loved ones while you're out of town.”
About: I’ve been around many types of animals all my life including exotic, farm animals, and house pets like cats and dogs. I love them all equally and would be happy to care for any pet! I currently work full time but typically have 3 days off a week. I will be going back to school in the fall but will still have availability. While I cannot currently look after pets in my own home, I am happy to accommodate most needs for any animal in their own home.

“We are so thankful to Cami for looking in on our Frisco kitty while we were away. She sent a photo and an update at the end of each visit, and our cat was very happy upon our return. We will definitely consider Cami’s services again in the future.”
“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.

About: I have a dog of my own, I’ve been taking care of him for 2 years and making sure to walk him everyday. I am a trusted dog walker I work from home and whenever I have time I love walking my dog out and neighbors dogs for an hour or two. Love dogs I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a leash I take them out with when they need to go to the bathroom
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!
About: What really sets me apart is the amount of hands-on experience I’ve had with cats over the years. I’ve fostered so many cats—everything from tiny kittens to older adults—and I’ve helped several of them find loving forever homes. I’ve also taken care of sick cats, so I’m comfortable giving basic medications and paying close attention to any changes in their behavior. I’ve had two cats of my own in the past, so I fully understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’m very patient, gentle, and genuinely love being around cats. Whether it’s keeping their litter box extra clean, sticking to their routines, or just giving them comfort and attention, I always treat every cat like they’re my own. I currently work in a hybrid setup. I’m remote on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility on those days, as well as on weekends For cats, I provide full access to my home in a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and explore at their own pace. I have a kitten of my own who is very friendly, affectionate, and gets along well with other pets. I understand that every cat has its own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to learn and follow any specific instructions to ensure your cat feels at ease. My goal is to give them a comfortable stay while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for. Since I know cats can take time to adjust to new environments, your cat will have a private room initially to settle in. Gradual introductions will be done thoughtfully, even if they are typically friendly with other cats. I take hygiene, cleanliness, and safety very seriously. As a cat owner, it’s my top priority to maintain a clean, secure, and stress-free space for both my pets and your.
“Anthony was quick to learn about our dog and details of entry and exit from house. He dropped by few days before drop-in visit for a quick greet and meet. It went smoothly.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds since I was a teen. I have also house sat for a few barn animals and dogs. I work part time, usually only 2-3 nights a week for 2-3 hours at a time. Besides that, I also attend school virtually, which makes it easy to work around your pets schedule! I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, which helps minimize their stress while you’re away. I try to keep their schedule as consistent as it usually is and send pic updates as often as you’d like.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dayton
It was my first time using a Rover service. Mutsuko and Toru were reliable and handled two energetic, crazy, big boys very well. I used to bring them to the dog hotel, but I hate the fact that they are over-vaccinated to stay there. I was thrilled to see the pictures they sent me of every walk, and I was notified of their bathroom activities. I do highly recommend them.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dayton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dayton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Dayton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
