“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“We needed a last minute sitter and Jill was able to help us out. She was so kind and our dogs felt right at home. We felt a little nervous because our older dog isn’t always the best around other dogs, but she kept them super active and busy. They were tired and happy when they returned home. Would absolutely recommend!!”
“I would highly recommend booking with Chloe, she made my Lab feel right at home and took great care of him. He got daily snuggles and lots of outside time and had the best time! He came back really happy and I was happy to get daily pictures of him and updates while I was out of town.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup since adopting him earlier this year. We did a meet and greet with Juliann and her family to make sure it would be a good fit all around. Marty is a timid and skittish dog and they tried to make him feel comfortable. I am sure it was challenging, especially given his love for walks and the extreme heat. Juliann was great with communication and provided pics and updates during his stay.”
“It was great for Lola to have other dogs to be and play with! I so appreciate being able to have someone board her in their home while I'm in the area staying with friends.”
“Tawna and John took a very last-minute request to keep our dog overnight, which saved the day! They were communicative and accommodating. We will definitely consider them for future trips!”
“Isamar and Caleb took Ripley in on short notice and over the holidays, which was a huge relief. On top of that they were fantastic sitters making sure our dog was as comfortable in their home as she was ours. We received daily pictures and updates. I would highly recommend their services and hope to book them again myself.”
“Suzanne took amazing care of Duke during a recent long weekend getaway. She sent lots of pictures and spoiled him with love and fun. I can’t recommend her enough. We will definitely be re-booking with her in the future.”
“I highly recommend Alex as your next dog sitter! I was worried because my high energy 1 year old bird dog can be a lot but Alex reassured me and sent photos throughout our trip that our dog was having a blast and doing great. As a first time rover mom, I felt completely comfortable relaxing instead of worrying about how my dog was doing.”
“Manisha treated our pup like one of her own. She had so much care and affection for her and really made us feel good about watching our dog. She was also great at keeping us updated with lots of pictures.”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”
“Saawan and Kangna are the best! We’re so thankful we found them. They cared for Rosie with so much love. They were thoughtful and kind and very prompt with all communication.”
“Haley and Graham was our first experience with Rover and it was a great one! So thankful they took such good care of our doggy and kept us updated the whole time!”
“Paula is a dog person thru and thru and I loved knowing my Lily pug was safe in her care. Will use Paula again :) Thank you again for taking such good care of our lily pug!”
“This was Henry’s third stay with Ron and Henry was clearly happy to see him when we dropped him off. As always, when we picked him up he seemed happy and was obviously well cared for. Ron has a great, calm demeanor that makes Henry comfortable immediately. So glad to have a sitter we can trust!”
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Angelica and Bruce took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was really clear from the moment they met our pup that they love dogs. They took him on tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We felt extremely comfortable he was in great hands and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area.”
“Brittany was an amazing dog sitter. She was amazing with my older dog who is a little anxious and not dog friendly. She made sure he was well taken care of. I would definitely let Ryder stay with Brittany any time!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Dayton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dayton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dayton home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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 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.
