About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾‍♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁

She also exceeded our expectations by keeping the house clean and even cleaned things we did not expect her to! We would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking to have someone take care of their dogs/home.”

“Annette is highly professional, and I could not be more thankful to have her to watch my kitty. Annette stepped up very last minute, and I knew immediately that she would be the perfect sitter. She was excellent with communication, very caring and loving, and I felt completely comfortable having her stay in my home. My heart was warmed with updates and photos of Del while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Annette to other pet parents.”

“The sitter we normally get was booked so had to find a new sitter last minute. We found Whitney and are so happy we did! She did an amazing job with my dogs (one senior - with complicated sitting instructions) and 1 young energetic 2 year old pup. She kept our house incredibly clean and was a great communicator (pictures and updates everyday).”

About: Before requesting to book anything with me, please be aware that I’m a stay at home mom, so my son does accompany me on walks and is present in my home for boarding. Because of this, pets in my care do need to be comfortable around young children. Your pet’s safety and comfort is very important to me and I want to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone involved. I will never force an interaction between your pet and my child, and I carefully manage their environment to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable during visits. I have over a decade of hands on animal care experience, including working in veterinary hospitals, an emergency animal hospital, animal shelters, and even a wildlife sanctuary specializing in wolves and other wild canines. I’m extremely comfortable handling dogs and cats of all personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, elderly, or simply needs some extra patience and attention, I bring professional animal experience and a genuine love for what I do. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I am a stay at home mom and other than some other gigs and taking care of my rambunctious 10 month old son, I am fairly free! I have 2 cats at home and they have the most spoiled lives ever! I live in a 2 story smaller home that’s perfect sized for me and my little family. I have a fenced backyard and am walking distance to several parks.

About: I'm a certified fitness coach& energy healer who's been in love with animals for as long as I can remember — so combining the two just made sense. I'm out running, walking, and hiking almost every day anyway, and I love having a dog along for the ride as my companion. Whether your pup needs a high-energy run to burn off zoomies, a steady long walk, or a scenic hike, I'll match their pace and keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised the whole time. I treat every dog like my own — plenty of affection, patience, and attention to their individual personality and needs. Your dog won't just get a walk; they'll get a genuine companion who's excited to see them. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life rather than being a separate task I squeeze in. I teach fitness to private clients, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take pups outside for walks, runs, or hikes throughout the day — not just squeezed into a narrow time slot. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or a client's, my priority is keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. In a client's home, I stick closely to their normal schedule — feeding times, walk routines, medications if needed — and make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owner is away. As an active person who's out running, walking, or hiking daily, I love incorporating pets into that lifestyle, so they get real physical enrichment, not just a quick potty break. In my own home, pets are treated as part of the household — free to relax, cuddle, and settle in, with plenty of outdoor time and supervision. I'm attentive to each animal's individual personality and comfort level, and I always prioritize safety, whether that's pet-proofing a space, using secure leashes/harnesses, or simply reading their body language to know what they need.

“Caitlynn did a fantastic job caring for my aged dog and cats. She arrived when scheduled and departed when planned. The extra house related tasks I needed done while on the road were completed with no problems. Caitlynn sent photos of my fur babies multiple times a day which was greatly appreciated. My dog and one aged cat frequently have stress diarrhea when I leave. This did not happen this trip which tells me they were very comfortable with Caitlynn. Thank you, Caitlynn and Rover!”

Wonderful job caring for Taz and Zoey! It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while I was away. I especially loved receiving the pictures and updates—they made me smile and reassured me that my cats were happy and well cared for. Very reliable, attentive, and clearly treated Taz and Zoey like their own. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dayton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Dayton is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $58 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 773 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dayton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dayton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
