“Five stars aren't enough for Christine! She watched our two dogs for a week and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept us updated with regular photos and check-ins, so we always knew our dogs were safe and having a great time. I never once felt anxious leaving them behind — and that peace of mind is priceless. We will absolutely be coming back to Christine every time we need a sitter. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Lyssette was extremely communicative, and my pup loved her and her dog. Her yard is huge, Valkyrie had the run of the whole downstairs and was super happy. Will definitely use her again!”
“Murphy ate and has been asleep since 5:20. He had a great time as always, and we'll all have an early bedtime. Thanks for taking care of our pup. We never worry about him, because he's in great hands with you. ❤️❤️”
“Kim was great! We picked up Ivy healthy and happy. Kim had all Ivy's things packed and ready to go. The photos she sent assured us Ivy did great over the 9 days we were out of state. We felt totally comfortable while away knowing Ivy was in good hands.”
“Barbara is a really warm person who my dog took a shine to right away. I was very comfortable leaving my little buddy with her and it sounds like they had a great time 🙂”
“Chewbacca (Chewy) had a wonderful stay with Josh and Leah. We recieved pictures often and updates on how he was doing. He was well taken care of as if he was a member of their own family. We highly recommend Joshua and Leah for your dogs stay! We can't thank them enough for their kindness to our Chewy!”
“We highly recommend Shari! From our meet and greet to the drop off and pick up, she was wonderful. Our dog Izzie, who can get anxious and nervous, was given the attention she needed, especially in a place she had never been before. So happy to have decided to try Rover.com and to find Shari. Maura and Joel”
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“We are so happy with her care. Our pup came home happy. He’s not the easiest pup to meet as he’s still learning puppy manners but Roxanne was great, she sent pictures of our pup throughout his stay which was really reassuring that he was doing well and happy playing with other pups. Her location is awesome.”
“I feel so relieved that I have someone like Myrna to leave my dog Shanti with when I go out of town! It’s always a really easy process and I love the photos I get while away. I can tell my dog is cared for and happy whenever I return home. Thank you Myrna! - James & Shanti”
“We are so grateful for Chaun for taking such great care of our Gus over Christmas! We got regular updates that were thoughtful and fun, and he seemed to have a blast with her own pups (and kitty). He came home tired and happy- thank you again for your care, Chaun!”
“It is such a relief to find someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of Gus when my family is on vacation! Gus does great with Liz. He is always happy to see us, but isn’t sick or out of sorts when we pick him up. She will be our go to dog sitter as long as she is available!”
“It was my first time letting my dog with Andrea, I love it she is a very loving and flexible person , I would Leave my doggie with her again! She and her husband they are very kind , thank very much I really appreciate it guys , you are the best!!!”

“Angelica has watched our pup for multiple long 10-day stretches and short weekend getaways, and our pup always always pulls and starts whining in excitement when she sees Angelica. Our pup isn’t the easiest because she’s young, large, and high energy. Angelica has no problem managing her, keeping her training up, and even sending her home with better manners. She’s also very diligent in finding playmates and making sure she socializes appropriately with the other pups. It is a relief to find someone that can take not only take care of your pup, but also :care: about them. Angelica does both and we could not be more at ease knowing our pup is with her!”
“Great communication throughout the stay! We appreciated the pictures and videos through the day to give us the confidence our dogs were receiving the best care. We can’t wait to book with Mersal again! In fact, our dog Laika has been missing her new friends since she’s back home!”
“Katie was fantastic. This was a great first time user experience. During the meet and greet, Katie's easygoing attitude made me comfortable with leaving my fairly new adopted dog in her care. The fact that she showed a clear understanding of hound dog behavior was the icing on the cake. She was very flexible with my schedule change on drop off and pickup. She went above and beyond by letting me pick my doggo up at a really late hour of the day. Her quick pics and updates on Chloe during her stay was just right. Chloe was very happy with her experience and we will definitely use Katie in the future! Thank you for taking care of Chloe!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Dayton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dayton home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dayton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dayton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
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 OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
