“It seems that Gabbi had a great time spending it with Anne, her husband, dog Chase & another little doggy named Ethel. Anne seemed to be very attentive, followed our instructions as well as taking great care of her. She sent me a lot of pictures & videos over the 2 days we were gone. We would definitely recommend Anne to other pet owners & have her take care of her again.”
“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.”
“Faith made our fur baby’s stay so comfortable! Communication was great, and I got updates from her regularly. Upon pickup, our pup looked calm and happy, which was a great sign. Thank you so much again for your attentiveness, kindness, and flexibility!”
“Lisa was great! She did slow introductions with our shy/timid puppy. By later that day, they were all playing and she was sending some awesome photos. Truly a relief to find someone as kind and passionate about dogs as anyone would hope to find. Thank you Lisa!”
“Kind, smart, thoughtful, attentive, generous with photos.Elaine was an absolute inspiration wonderful sitter.will definitely be using her again in this area. My dogs have never felt so comfortable in a home. Thank you Elaine.”
“Susan, we were SO happy with the wonderful service you provided for us in February and March. You were flexible, loving and so caring of all the animals. We highly recommend your services! Thank you and we will see you again another time.”
“It is so hard to leave your dog with someone you don't know. After Heidi's stay with Luciana I have complete confidence that she will be well cared for. I appreciated the requirement to have a meet and greet. Luciana is organized, she's a strong communicator, and she is very safety-conscious. It helped that Heidi and Felipe got along so well, it is actually more fun for Heidi to be at Luciana's house than at ours. It also helps that Heidi is a small dog and Felipe is small too which is a perfect situation for us. I had no doubt that Heidi's diet was followed to a T (she can't digest fat), and that she was walked. Highly recommend!”
“Kelly and Daniel are truly wonderful! I was so nervous about leaving my baby for the first time, but after doing a lot of research, I decided to trust them. I have to say, it was the best decision I could have made. Kelly and Daniel are so passionate about animals. They were incredibly patient with my baby, who was a bit down for the first few days, but soon, with their attention, she started to feel better. They take the dogs for walks every day, and they always send me photos in the morning and afternoon. I’m so satisfied and grateful. I highly recommend them. The price was quite reasonable. I was away for 15 days.”
“Being an owner of a small dog, I appreciate that Addie only sits for dogs under 15lbs. Another plus is that she works from home and is quick with responses to any questions I might have. The meet ‘n greet and sleepover went well so I will book with her again.”
“Kathryn was absolutely wonderful. The dogs loved being with her at her home, which was set up beautifully for dogs. They both came home very happy and it just makes our time away so relaxing knowing that our little loves are in the hands of someone as loving and caring as Kathryn. We couldn't be happier with the experience.”
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Faith. I have been caring for dogs for several years and grew up in a home that always had a couple of dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets while they're away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I pride myself on being dependable, responsible, and communicative, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. I am getting a job in a couple weeks! I will be working part-time with some extra shifts if I have the time. I am home a good majority of the day as well. I have a big yard. It is fenced. I would prefer to take care of the dog in the client's home. So the dog stays in its environment.
“Amy was awesome with our two pups. She sent pictures, And they looked so happy. To the point that our little one didn’t want to leave. I would recommend using her. We will have ours go back for her doggy day car.”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Dayton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
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. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
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
- 95% 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.
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 NV 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
