“Gina & spouse were so kind & loving to our 14 yr old poodle mix Murphy!! The proof of their excellent care was his constant tail wagging whenever Gina spoke to him on pick up day. Also a big thanks to you Gina for applying his eye meds!! That was extra care & very much appreciated. Hope he gets to stay with you again soon.”
“Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Chewy 's first time on an extended stay. Laura was exceptional with communicating with us and Chewy loved her! She is a true dog person and Chewy picked up on that instantly,he was very comfortable with her and her dog. I will most certainly call on Laura again and will recommend her to my friends. Thank you Laura for a worry free trip! You are amazing!”
“Susan took great care of our two pups! She sent lots of pics while we were out of town and was super easy to communicate with. Our pups received lots of love and attention from Susan and her family. Definitely recommend!!”
“Once again Anne May G. and her husband took excellent and loving care of our two small dogs. Don't hesitate to pick her as a caretaker. The dogs love them and their little dog Chase.”
“So happy we found Kendra! We are new to the area and had to find a new sitter. Kendra was reassuring our pup would be in good hands, asked all the right questions to ensure she could give good care, and was flexible with our schedule. Our girl enjoyed her stay and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Megan was so great! It was our first time using Rover for our two senior Malamutes, and I was very nervous leaving our fur babies in a new place. She not only was wonderful with them, but also with me and my anxiety! She provided a lot of pictures and reassurance that they were doing well. She helped one of my dogs with a scraped nose, and even tried to brush them (they weren’t on board). Megan also has a stocked house with dog supplies, as we didn’t even think to bring anything besides the dogs and food (like when we boarded at a facility). They came home less anxious and with zero issues, unlike the last few times we boarded them at our usual place. Thank you Megan!”
“Patty and Randy were wonderful!! They are very kind and sweet people who took great care of our dog, Penny. When we went to pick up our pup, she was so happy to see us, yet we could tell she had been loved and felt comfortable in their home. Our pup jumped on us to say hello and jumped on Patty as to say goodbye, but thanks for watching me! :) We will definitely have Patty and Randy watch Penny again on our next trip!”
“Faith was able to care for our dog overnight and she seemed to be happy with the pictures we saw while gone and upon pick up the next day. This was her first overnight stay without family caring for her.”
“Jacob and his fiancée did such a wonderful job taking care of Teddy! He provided photos and updates often and I was confident he was being well taken care of. My puppy always looked so happy and like he was always having so much fun!”
“Addie was very informative and responsive on how my pup was doing. I really appreciated her sending me videos and pictures of my baby playing with her dog and overall having fun.”
“Millie loves going to see Megan’s family. I never worry if she’s well cared for. When my flight was delayed she was more than accommodating. Will never use anyone else🥰”
“Tianyu X. has been an absolutely wonderful Rover sitter for our dog, Scout. From the start, Tianyu was kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to get to know Scout and treated her like she was her own pup. We loved that Tianyu safely introduced Scout to other small-breed dogs, giving her positive socialization and playtime. She also brushed Scout, took her on regular walks, and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. It was such a comfort knowing Scout was not only cared for, but truly loved. We received great updates and could tell Scout was having a fantastic time. We highly recommend Tianyu to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Gracie had a great time with Dain and Jade. They provided lots of love, activity and walks. Just what our active girl needs. We were very comfortable leaving her with them for 5 nights.”
“Ron was great understanding our dogs personalities from the start and made us feel comfortable leaving them with him for our trip. His daily updates were great and kept us connected while we were traveling. His place is very dog proof and the dogs loved his fenced in backyard. We are planning to use him on our next trip as well!”
“Kat and Corey did a great job hosting my dog over a long weekend! They sent daily updates and photos and kept her active on lots of adventures to the park, the lake, and on hikes. I will definitely book my dog with Kat and Corey again next time I go out of town.”
“Wendy is amazing!!! She is so kind and flexible and took such good care of my pup. He made friends and had a great time!!! She gave him lots of love and exercise, sent videos, communicated wonderfully. Will be having her watch him again! Thank you so much! 😊”

95% of sitters in Dayton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.

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 NV ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

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.
