“Rebecca was amazing with Ollie and very flexible!! Sent pictures and videos! He will definitely be going back whenever we travel in the future. Absolutely best experience to date. If you have any doubts, just send a message and interact with her and I assure you, you wont be disappointed!!!”
“We were so happy with Dallas' care. Joanne sent me several texts updating me on how he was doing and she included many pictures. Her children played with Dallas and loved him like he was their own. We will definitely book with Joanne and her family again.”
“Joe did a great job with our Macie! We were very glad that Joe was able to help out as this was a bit of a last minute request. Joe is great with communication and always prompt to respond. Thanks again Joe!!!”

About: I have always loved all kinds of animals and will care for your fur babies just as well as I care for my own. I grew up with a toy poodle though I would have loved to have more pets. Currently, my husband and I have two small dogs but I love dogs and cats of all sizes. I have experience with caring for older dogs as well as very young puppies. I am familiar with pad training and kennel training as well. I would love to take care of your pets and am more than willing to accommodate their needs! I stay at home full time with my 6 month old. So, my time for your pets is very flexible. I am also able to bathe and/or groom your dogs if that is a service you would like. I have a bath price set but I’m open to conversations about that and other grooming services you would like to add. I do all the grooming for my dogs including haircuts, nail clipping, and deshedding. I have two very friendly dogs, but I do have enough space/baby gates to keep my dogs separate from yours if necessary. I have a fully fenced backyard and a very walkable neighborhood. So, your dogs will have plenty of opportunities for exercise. My dogs are kennel trained and sleep with us in bed, but I will respect whatever pet rules you have in your home.
“Mandy was amazing! Josie immediately felt comfortable and at home with her and the family. We were able to meet ahead of time to make sure everything was to run smoothly and I was thankful for that time. Having an animal reactive pet brings a lot of stress and anxiety when it comes to boarding and dog sitters, but Mandy erased all of my anxiety with her above and beyond care and communication. While out of town I had continuous message AND picture updates of my fur baby and I was so grateful. Cannot wait to book with this crew again! 💕”
“Kathelyn was so sweet. She was able to take my dogs last minute and was able to handle my one dog who is a crazy ball of energy. I could tell that my dogs were happy and had fun making new friends. ***For once I wasn’t worried about leaving them.”
“Arlissa took great care of my pittie! I just moved to the area and was really hesitant to leave my pup with someone new, but she was really understanding and kept up with his routine. He had an ear infection when he stayed as well, and she administered all meds for that, and made sure to send me lots of pictures too!! I also really appreciated her flexibility with pick up/drop off. Will definitely be coming back! ?”
About: I've been a devoted dog parent to my own pup for 3 years, who truly means the world to me. Caring for her has taught me how important patience, gentleness, consistency, exercise, and affection are for a happy dog. I’ve also volunteered with rescue shelters and animal sanctuaries, helping care for dogs and supporting animals in need. Through those experiences, I’ve become comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Dogs have always had a special place in my life, and I treat every dog like family. Whether we’re out on an adventure or relaxing on the couch, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Flexible for your pup's needs. Hours of outside play time - including a morning walk, an afternoon trip to the park for running and playing, and an evening walk. Easily adjustable to your pup's energy level. My home is a calm and dog-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and playtime. I have a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. Dogs always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they're happy and comfortable.
“Emily was a great sitter for my Golden Retriever when I needed weekend care! She was easy to communicate with and coordinate pickup/drop off, and my pup seemed to have a great time in her care.”
“Chili Pepper was well taken care of during our family vacation! Derek and Megan were flexible, understanding, and great communicators! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! I know I will be when we are away again! Thank you so so much!”
“First time using Rover and first time using an overnight service our year ish old puppy. I was worried as it was the first time but Joe made the pup feel at home and worked with him in the meet and greet to get him comfortable. Joe updated us frequently and Harry was worn out and happy!”
“Rachel and her family treated my dog very well! Look forward to hiring again. I appreciate how she stepped up in a pinch after my reserved sitter wasn’t able to watch two days before Christmas/same day I was flying out.”

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!

There are 461 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dayton. About 92% of Dayton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
