“Emily did a great job she was so good with our pup! She sent cute pictures of him while we were away. Amazing communication as well. Overall provided a safe, fun environment and treated our dog like her own. :) I will be a repeat customer!”
About: My partner Anthony and I have extensive pet care experience through house sitting for several families, caring for a wide variety of dogs with different needs and personalities. We've looked after dogs who require a high level of care, including administering medication, following strict routines, and maintaining consistent feeding and walking schedules. We've also cared for easy-going pets who simply need companionship, exercise, and lots of love. We pride ourselves on being attentive, reliable, and adaptable, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Erin works close to home, so she can come back and care for the dogs during the workday. I am available for boarding on weekends, depending on my schedule. We will make sure your dog is well taken care of! We have a fun, friendly, energetic dog to keep your dog company. We have a partially fenced-in yard, but I will never leave your dog outside alone. We only want to accept dogs that do well/get along with other dogs for the safety of our dog, Ozzy, and ourselves.
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“Nate and Whitney were great with my Australian Shepherd. They kept me updated with pictures and I could tell that he was well exercised while I was away. I will definitely be contacting them again if I need to go out of town and can't take Ozzie with me!”
“Amber and her husband took great care of my little girl. Amber sent a picture of her and informed me of the positive interaction with her dogs. I will definitely utilize her services again in the future. Thanks so much Amber.”
“Rachel is an incredible person. She adored my dog as if it were her own. She ensured that my dog felt at ease in a new environment. I truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her services.”
“I don’t have words… was so great! My girls were sooo happy. Katherine is now at top of my sitters list. I just moved and can’t tip right now but, I will reward with Hispanic delicacies ??”
“My sister recommended Rebecca and I’m so glad she did. She is so sweet and truly cares for the pups she watches. I got videos & pictures daily. My little pup has the best time ! I will definitely reach out for her to watch him again for my next vacation! 10/10 recommend ?”
“Amanda was amazing with my pup Lucy! She sent me daily pictures & made sure Lucy got plenty of love & snuggles. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, & I’m so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. I’d trust Amanda with Lucy anytime!”
“Charlie had a great time with Joanne! Not sure he wanted to come home! :) We really appreciated the great care he received and loved getting updates about how he was doing while we were gone! We highly recommend Joanne!”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
“We appreciated Susan and John's care for our two dogs! They've set up their home very well to allow caring for dogs, keeping them separate if needed, and to go outside.”
“I’ve never boarded my dog before but didn’t have a choice this time. I stumbled across a review on Reddit that highly recommended Jenna in Kettering, so I looked her up on Rover. After reading through what a typical day in her care looks like, I had a good feeling it just sounded right for Jack. I messaged her with my concerns, and she was super responsive and reassuring. She sent regular updates and pictures of Jack hanging out with new friends (and not barking which honestly shocked me). When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and not in any rush to leave. We’re honestly thrilled with how well he did. It really speaks to Jenna’s experience and how comfortable she makes the dogs feel. We’ll definitely stay with her again.”
“I took my extremely timid rescue dog and my tiny 14-year-old pup with a hurt back to be boarded with Arlissa and I can honestly say that I could not be happier with the experience they had. I’m pretty sure my large dog didn’t actually want to come home with me because he was having so much fun! They followed my instructions to the letter, gave me daily updates, and sent fun photos and videos of my dogs enjoying themselves. I also had to extend my stay at the last minute and Arlissa was very accommodating and changed the booking for me without issue. With two high maintenance dogs, it is hard for me not to worry constantly, but I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were well cared for. I would definitely use Arlissa again!”
“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“Carmen is reliable, caring, and attentive. She sends pictures and updates me frequently. My dog likes to roam around her fenced backyard. My dog gets great care whenever she's with Carmen.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dayton
Joe was great! He has a really nice yard for play and Bo loved his new friends. We were gone for 9 days but he came home so calm and restful, he typically is pretty anxious. We also appreciated there weren’t too many other dogs being boarded at the same time. We were lucky to find someone like Joe so close to our trip and the holiday after our first boarder backed out. We will definitely be using Joe again!

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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.
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 OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
