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.

“Meghan was so sweet to my kitties. The litter was cleaned and the floor by the box was swept. Their water dish had been cleaned and filled, and their food bowls were washed. Meghan went above my expectations and I will DEFINITELY use her again. My kitties are my babies and it was hard to trust someone with them but Meghan exceeded my expectations.”

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!

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
