Maleny was amazing with our 2 cats! We had her check in with our cats for 6 days and she sent lots of pictures of her feeding and entertaining the kitties, which helped us feel at ease about the quality of her care. When we got home we can tell our cat were very happy kitties. I will definitely be a repeat customer and will be asking Maleny to come back for future check ins with our pets.

About: I've had experience with lots of animals, from Puppies to Snakes to Cows. I've helped birth Dogs, Lambs, Cows, Pigs, Goats, and much more. I'm almost always available to! (Same day bookings are alright!)💞 I've learned first aid when it comes to a good majority of animals that can be kept as pets, and I can also follow any care plan that is given to me, down to a T. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can give snuggles to your fur babies and be your next sitter!❤️ I'm currently not working and have the full day to go off whatever schedule you have created for your fur baby. I am usually able to change my schedule howevers needed to accommodate you! I have no yard, but I happily walk my dogs 4 times a day, sometimes 6 depending on their needs or your dog's needs. I am a sober individual that can pay attention and care for your family member the whole time with no problem. Thank you!

About: If you want your animals to be well cares for, tired from playing and treated like a family member, I am the right choice for you! I have always had animals in my life! When I turned 18 I got myself a puppy. I have trained and taken care of her for the past 7 years! My friends and family often come to me and ask me to help when their dogs are misbehaving because of how well my dog is trained. I have dog sat many times over the years and figured I should get paid for it now. I work a full-time compressed schedule. Due to this I always have 3-4 days off a week. I am looking to fill some of that free time with something I love doing. Walking and taking care of animals! I already walk my dog so I would be happy to walk yours as well! I will drop in when needed and let your animals out to go potty. I can feed them if needed and play with them until they are tired! I can accomadate almost anything.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my hands-on experience raising and training my own dog from puppyhood. As the owner of a large Shepherd-Husky mix, I'm comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I've also cared for and walked dogs for neighbors over the years, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience, I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to provide attentive care, walks, and companionship. As a dog parent, I'm already spending my days caring for an active, energetic pup and understand the importance of exercise, enrichment, and routine. I love getting outside for walks and exploring local trails and parks when the weather is nice, but I'm just as happy spending quality time indoors with plenty of cuddles. Whether your dog prefers adventure or a cozy movie day on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and needs. I treat every dog like they're part of the family! In my home, your pup will have access to a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. I share my home with my Shepherd-Husky mix, who loves making new friends and is always happy to have a buddy around. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, exploring all the exciting smells the outdoors has to offer, playing fetch, or curling up on the couch for a movie and some snuggles, I'm happy to match their vibe. I provide frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, and can accommodate crate-trained dogs with an extra-large crate if needed. When caring for pets in your home, I believe you know your dog best. I'll follow your routines, preferences, and instructions closely to help keep your pup comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

Megan did a fantastic job watching my three dogs for me. She met with us all prior to our booking so she can get an interaction with the dogs before being alone in the house. I was really impressed with the communication, and reporting back on things she observed with them and their interactions. I would recommend Megan for peace of mind with your animals. My dogs already are excited when I say her name.

About: Having grown up with both a Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dogs, I am well-versed in dogs that need high-energy play time versus those that just need to get their zoomies out! I have taken care of senior dogs, including a miniature poodle and a long-haired Chihuahua. I am an animal lover who has to pet any dog or cat I see and have a genuine interest in caring for and loving your special furry friend 🐾 I am currently in-between jobs as I am studying for my LSAT for law school so my schedule is very flexible right now! I have a car and am able to drive so that is not a problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very aware that I am a guest in the home and act accordingly. These days, privacy is important and I pride myself on protecting that for the client in addition to caring for the pet(s). When interacting with pet(s), I like to go at their pace in their home, respecting their boundaries, and gaining their trust. I am able to handle shy pets and wait for them to warm up as well as handle the rambunctious love bugs that want to snuggle!

About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and grew up with hunting dogs and know how to train a dog for scent training and perform tasks. I currently have a Pit Bull Mix and Pug with two very different personalities. I’ve done plenty of house sitting with dogs for various people in the community and am furthering my education on animal behavior and dog training organizations. I have created my own personal Business “Groovy Dogs Training” for Yamco area and am using this platform to build some outreach.

Does your dog need to chill out before going on a walk I gotchu or needs to let out some energy with toy enrichment or fetch I can do that! Just let me know what works best for your fur baby or I can even help you when it comes to deciding that 💕

About: I’m a calm, reliable pet sitter who specializes in providing one-on-one, low-stress care for dogs in their own environment. I have hands-on experience working with dogs in a kennel setting, and I’ve learned that many pets do best with consistent routines, patience, and a calm presence. I focus on giving each dog individualized attention rather than managing large groups, which helps them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I have a Bachelors in Psychology and trained to see changes in behavior that are not typical for their personality. If they are more lethargic then usual I notice it and find out what is the problem. I have experience in urgent or emergency vet situations. I keep calm and the dog safe on rides to the vet. I communicate all the details needed to the vet and the parent of the dog. I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in following your instructions exactly—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or specific behaviors you’re working on. You can count on me to be consistent, attentive, and fully present with your pet. I am currently moving to Portland, Or from Washington state. I am growing my pet flight nanny business and looking for a part time job just to start out. My schedule will be flexible and I can plan around what is needed for your pet. I am great at following a routine. If you need food served at a certain time every day I can do it. If overnight care is needed I am fine to have them sleep with me or make them comfortable wherever they want. If they require play time I can adjust for the weather if needed.

About: My wife, Connie, a retired nurse, and I have had six dogs over 35 years. We miss them dearly. I have raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years so I understand the patience, structure and affection that go with it. I am retired from my legal practice of 35 years, and very active. I love long walks and have a nice fenced backyard if pet sitting is needed. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle companionship or just someone who treats them like family I’m committed to make them feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for. After being self-employed for 35 years I am looking for something to keep me busy and I can’t think of a better way to spend my time. I have a very flexible schedule so I am basically available 24/7. In my home I will provide a warm, clean environment, plenty of attention and lots of outdoor activity since I’m an active retired person with plenty of time to give.

About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life and have grown up with a deep appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of animals. Because I’ve lived with and cared for pets since childhood, I understand that they are family members, not just 'pets.' While I am new to professional pet sitting on this platform, I bring the same level of discipline and attention to detail that I have cultivated through my professional retirement home caregiving experience. I am deeply reliable, exceptionally organized, and committed to following your specific care instructions to the letter. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, ensuring safety during walks, or providing plenty of love and attention, I treat every pet under my care with the same dedication I would provide to my own I currently work part time, with my shifts changing frequently but I always will be upfront about my availability from the jump. Other than time spent working I am available full time for whatever your pet needs! Safety is my top priority. With a background in professional caregiving, I am trained to be observant, follow detailed instructions precisely, and remain calm in any situation. Your pet’s safety and routine are always my main focus.

We were in a pinch for some short notice drop in visits. Jessica was able to be available to pop in and give our pups and outside break and attention during a couple of days we had to be away. The dogs are so happy with her and we know we can count on her. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Dayton on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,308 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dayton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dayton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Dayton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dayton. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
