“Anne Marie was incredible! She was timely and kept us up to date with photos and notes every time she visited with our dog. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Emma did such a wonderful job with drop in visits for my cats while I was out of town! One of my kitties needed extra special attention and some eye drops and she was so good with him and getting those done each visit throughout the day. She is excellent with the cats and they loved her. I highly recommend her.”
“Rachael was a breeze to coordinate with and clearly cared for my pups like they were her own. She kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Monroe is so kind and communicative! She always shares a detailed message with us and sends the best photos :) she takes the time to hang out with our cats on her visits, which means the world to us, and our kitties!”
“Shaelun was awesome with our kitties. They are less than friendly with new people and she handled thier anxiety so well. She also communicated very well and sent so many pictures. We also have a bunny that she loved on. Very much recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Dorothy was fantastic! The meet and greet went great and she kept in communication the whole time we were gone. She was prompt about making sure the house was secure. Our cat normally roams outside, but she noticed he was hanging out under cars in the front, which is not normal, and she made sure to get him out from under and back inside. She was very nice and very responsible. We will def book her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, usually multiple at a time, all shapes and sizes. Your pup will receive top-tier, attentive care with your instructions followed to the letter. Beyond that, expect plenty of walks, play sessions, cuddles, and adventures. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like my own. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any timing mornings, evenings, weekends, you name it. I work around your needs and will always make your pet my top priority. I have a friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends! When watching pets in your home, you can expect to come back to everything exactly as you left it, if not a little cleaner. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care.
“Elisa has been so patient and kind with my dog who has some separation anxiety and can be a little bit of a handful! She gets back to me about availability quickly and is communicative while she's with my dog, sending lots of updates and pictures! I always worry when I’m away from my pet but I feel that he is totally safe and happy in her care and I plan to continue using her for drop-in visits whenever she is available. I highly recommend Elisa if you want someone who is professional, kind, prompt, and sweet to your fur baby!”
“I was nervous about using Rover and leaving my dog alone for the first time but Bradley made the process easy, comforting and will definitely be booking again. Overall he is great at communicating and is reliable.”
“Hi Brooke, you did a wonderful job! We got back from our long trip a couple days ago and we appreciate all of your hard work! The kitties were very happy! Also, thank you for putting the trash containers behind the house and for filling the cat food in the outside cat house. We had forgot to tell you that we put the plants elsewhere and not to worry about watering them, sorry about forgetting to tell you! And we'll give you the wifi password during our next trip, if you wish to keep doing the job during our future trips. Great job, we are very grateful. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
“Britany has been so reliable and does a great job with our cats. She spends time with them playing and makes them feel comfortable while we are away. I would suggest anyone in the area use Britany for your pet needs.”
“Yolena took care of my two dogs, two cats, and 10 chickens. We really appreciate her agreeing to the contract with such short notice and taking on the brood. We would definitely use her again and we really appreciate her care of our pets ❤️”
“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”
“Autumn was super helpful and was great with communication. One of my dogs is a shadow and the other is a senior and they both had their needs more than met. I would trust her with my house and animals again.”
“Michelle is beyond amazing! She always takes care of my pup with love and calmness, as he’s very skittish. Shes always so sweet and accommodating to mine and my pets needs. Thanks again, Michelle 🩷🐾”
About: We have owned our great Pyrenees mix for 8 years now, and have boarded our families dogs when needed. Our dog loves to have friends over. We are a flexible and loving home. My husband and I have jobs where we are able to work from home every day of the week, so your dog will be with a trusted sitter 24/7. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for a second dog. We routinely take walks with our dog and would love adding another.
“Emily has only been working with us and our sweet pup for a week so far and we are very impressed! She’s punctual, shares detailed information with us and is very sweet. We are excited to continue working with her!”

Ms. Anne worked with my skittish Kitty on her drop-in visits. By the end of the visits, my girl was playing and allowed to be petted, which is amazing! So grateful for the attention to detail, the pics and updates. Will continue to book as long as she is willing to keep coming back! ☺️
Alyson did an amazing job taking care of our two cats, Davinci and Snickers, while I was traveling for work. She communicated consistently and sent pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She made sure they were fed, their litter box was clean, and they always had fresh water in their fountain. She also brought in my mail and spent time playing with them. I’m very grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
Shaelyn is amazing. My dog is “not great” with new people but she has gone out of her way to establish a great relationship with him. She has helped us learn how to support his behavior and he has been happier since meeting her. On the human end, it is a delight to have her stop in and I literally think I would be content to hire her just to visit me as she is a nice person to have drop in on a day. She is willing to engage my child who always looks forward to seeing her also. When in went away for a week it really made my time smooch better knowing I didn’t have to worry about the dog and cats at all because I had full faith she would take better care of than than I do. So kind and trustworthy- couldn’t recommend more as a pet-sitter or as a person!
Berke was great with our pets. We had a last minute rover change and he was so quick and willing to help watch over our boys. There were plenty of updates in both messages and photos, lots of fast communication, and he took care of my dog that needed medication. I would highly recommend him and will be happy to have him as a sitter again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Dayton on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 606 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dayton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
