About: I currently have a mini bernadoodle named Piper. She is two years old and I have had her since she was 10 weeks old. What sets me apart is that I love her as much as my children and she has a piece of my heart. I make sure she is safe and happy every single day. I currently working fulltime but I am able to pet care weekdays, weekend mornings and evenings. I am flexible so if there is a day of the week and time you prefer feel free to ask and if I can make it work, I will be there. I am in the process of moving, so I can not have pets in my home after June 2026 but at someone else's home, your pet is my priority. I will make sure they are fed, exercised and loved.

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.

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!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have cared for pets of all kinds, including dogs and other unique pets, and I have always loved learning about animal behavior and what makes each pet special. I grew up caring for my family dog from the time we were both young until she recently passed away at an amazing old age, and that experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how much love animals bring into our lives. I have also helped care for and walk a family friend’s dog since I was younger, and I have always enjoyed spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. I believe every pet deserves kindness, attention, and care that is tailored to their needs. I love learning about dog body language, training, and positive ways to build trust with animals. My goal is to foster and rescue animals one day, and I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. I work a full-time corporate job during the week and enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. My availability is primarily on weekends, making this a great opportunity for me to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, walks, and care when their families need a helping hand. I value creating a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s a quick visit, a walk, or longer stays. I’m happy to work with each owner’s routine and their pet’s individual needs. I believe every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I always aim to provide care that makes them feel safe and comfortable. With my own dog, I use crate training, enrichment puzzles, and trick practice to keep him happy, confident, and mentally stimulated. I’m happy to follow each owner’s preferences, whether that means crate time, maintaining a specific routine, going for walks, playing, or simply providing lots of love and cuddles on the couch. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for and at home while their family is away.

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!

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.

About: Hi! I’m Alex, a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by both dogs and cats since I was a kid. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I currently am the proud owner of my rescue mix, Goose, who has taught me even more about patience, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new situations. I also have two cats, so I’m experienced caring for both cats and dogs! Outside of pet care, I’m a CVICU registered nurse. My career has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and ability to stay calm in any situation. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications if needed, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s health and behavior. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing in the house, or just relaxing together, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while with me. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure you feel connected with plenty of updates and photos throughout every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. I look forward to giving them the same care, attention, and affection that I’d want for my own pets! I currently work 3, 12 hour shifts a week, so I’m available the other 4 days! unfortunately, my schedule does rotate so i’m not bookable for weekly visits, but my calendar is up to date In my home or yours, your pet will be treated like my own. All pets will be played with, cared for, and snuggled with as much as they’ll let me :)

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Dayton on Rover is $34.48 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,145 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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 .

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 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
