Wendy did a fabulous job taking care of our two pups while we were gone. She was able to accommodate us last minute. We loved the updates she provided and photos. We will book her again in the future. Thank you Wendy!

About: In my 20s, I house and dogsat often when I was in the military for families when they were gone for the holidays. I also worked as an assistant veterinarian technician for about a year at 2 different clinics. I had a chocolate lab, who lived to be 12. I now have an 8 year old, rescue husky-mix and 3 year old brown border collie named Scout. I work full-time and have 2 children. My 13 year old daughter also helps. She has housesat for several weeks for 3 dogs and will be housesitting for 2 dogs & a cat this fall. Thank you for your consideration! I work full time, mostly a M-F schedule. As long as I have a couple days notice, I should be able to make a time work. I can run or walk with your dog. Or I can come to your house and keep them company and/or feed them there. I am active and love the outdoors.

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 2 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

We highly recommend Susan. She has a kind and comforting demeanor who reassured our highly social cat when we were away. She sent a picture of a contented boy after each drop-in. We will be using Susan again.

About: I’ve been a devoted dog lover for over 17 years, caring not only for my own beloved dog—who lived a long, happy life to age 17—but also for the dogs of friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve had hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities, including Labradors, Retrievers, a Lab/Pug mix, Border Collies, Huskies, and Corgis. This has taught me how to tune into each dog’s unique needs, energy level, and temperament. What truly sets me apart is the way I care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means active play, a calm check-in, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person entering your home and caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog won’t just be “checked on”—they’ll be cared for with kindness, respect, and real affection. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I especially enjoy morning visits. I’m an early riser, so I’m reliable and available for those important first check-ins of the day—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and a calm, positive start for your dog. I plan my schedule around my visits to make sure each pet gets my full attention without feeling rushed. Mornings are a priority for me, but I also have flexibility to accommodate other times when needed. I truly enjoy these visits—they’re something I look forward to. Your dog will be greeted with kindness, patience, and genuine care every time I arrive. How I Care for Pets in Your Home I stop by and check in on your dog while you’re away for the day or weekend, so they can stay comfortable in their own home. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed as you prefer, and get a potty break, attention, and some companionship. I like to take a little extra time with each dog—whether that’s a bit of play, a short walk, or just sitting with them so they feel relaxed and not alone. I keep my service area within about a 10-minute drive so I can be dependable and on time for every visit. As I get more established, I may also offer overnight stays for small dogs down the road. I treat every dog like they’re my own, because I know how much they mean to you.

About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.

About: Animals bring me peace and joy and I just can't help but want to be around them to support them. I have raised dogs and other animals throughout my life. I have had cats, fish, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. Animals are always full of life and hope. I have two dogs now. A mother and daughter. It really shows me how deep animals can feel. I love them. Pet sitting is my priority. I spend 24/7 at home unless I am at the park or running errands. I can devote ample time to pet care. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. They go for walks, trips to the park, as well as off road fun. Like hiking, kayaking, and trail walks.

Evan and his daughter Emma were amazing with my puppy Luna. My 3 month old puppy didn’t go potty in the house with him or in her crate which is amazing and he made she sure was taken care of and even sent me pictures then left a super kind letter for me at the end of his stay with her. Thank you so much and I highly recommend Evan!

About: I've been around pets my whole life. I currently have two senior dogs that I have raised since they were puppies and am familiar with administering animal medication as one of my dogs is diabetic. I have always had cats as well and am familiar with their needs and when to give them space. I am a full-time student, so traditional jobs are difficult, but I have plenty of time during the day for pet care. During the summer I am very available from mornings to afternoons to nights. I don't vacation often or have many obligations outside of school which allows me plenty of time for pets. I am willing to look after any age, any size and any temperament. I am willing to go to a client's home or take pets for walks or for a ride in the car if they enjoy. I don't have much experience in training, though I am learning, but I am patient and forgiving and will play fetch all day or be a cuddle buddy for the more sedentary pets too.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, along with hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters. I also grew up helping my mom run her dog boarding business, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Right now, I’m taking a break from vet tech work, which gives me more time to focus on what I truly love—spending time with dogs! I share my home with two wonderful pups who are the loves of my life. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just providing loving care and attention, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. Every dog is special, and I treat each one like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m taking a break from the vet hospital and am available almost any day. My schedule is very flexible. Let me know what works best for you. Your fluffy friend is safe with me. If you are boarding I have a large house with a big backyard and plenty of toys. I’m always willing to do a meet and greet ahead of time.

About: I have hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to dogs, I have experience handling and caring for cats and small animals, including rodents. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I work a job, so I’m fully available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If there is a change, I will notify you. On the other days, I can provide care between the hours of 7- 10 PM. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully, so both of our schedules align and so I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine... feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and more. I give them as much love and affection as I would my own, always aiming to keep their tails wagging, etc. I treat every home with respect and make sure it stays secure and clean. I also send regular updates and photos to the owners so they can feel at ease, knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and still love doing it. Dogs make my day better and I love spending quality time with them.

I have a fenced backyard with lots of room. I have 3 dogs both are super friendly and love playing. But if a dog ever comes over no matter the circumstances, dogs will never be left unattended and separated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dayton on Rover is $34.41 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,109 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
