“I’m very blessed to have found Sharon. She’s a keeper!!! I recommend her without reservation. Your fur babies will be loved and well taken care of. You will not be disappointed in her care.”
“Denita was amazing! I was a bit worried since my dog is a bit fearful and doesn’t like to be alone, but he didn’t want to leave when we came to pick him up. I’ve had Denita care for my dog twice so far and both times has been amazing. She updates you regularly with pictures and videos. Highly recommend.”
“Bethany did a great job making our 2 feel at home! The lab got lots of play time outside and in the water. The corgi got lots of pampering inside. Appreciated all of the pictures and videos!”
“Melody was absolutely AWESOME!!! Our dog was very happy staying with her. She sent many great pictures of our dog that my kids loved. Very flexible with us. Thank you.”
“There's no better place than Álora's home. I felt good and at peace leaving my little one there. I know he enjoyed the atmosphere she creates through her personality. Now we know we've found a safe and trustworthy place. I'm sure my little Ollie enjoyed it immensely. We got the impression that they treated him like one of the family, and that says more than a thousand words.”
“I'm so thankful to have found Christine and her family to keep our black lab while we were away for a few days. Chrisitine was easy to communicate with and sent regular updates. It was obvious that her kids had a big part in taking care of our dog, and he received lots of love and attention. When I picked him up, he was more calm and relaxed than he has ever been after being away from home. I would not hesitate to book with Christine again in the future.”
“DeRee and Dustin treated my dogs as part of their family. They have a large, dog-friendly home with a very large fenced in yard for outdoor play. It's an excellent set-up, and they are true dog people- very kind, knowledgeable, and easy going animal lovers. I had to leave my fur babies for eight long days, for the first time ever, and I greatly appreciated their genuine loving care and the daily updates, photos and videos they sent me. I will definitely use DeRee and Dustin again the next time I travel and I highly recommend them.”
“Great home-away-from-home for our Corgi mix. Waffle had two other dogs to play with—one a full Corgi—and a little girl, and he loves children. Brooke was great at accommodating our furbaby’s separation anxiety and our cluelessness on his first time away from us, for a week! Will be back next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Pam was incredible! We had a different sitter booked and they cancelled on the last minute so we needed to secure someone to care for our wild dog very quickly. From the first interaction, Pam was responsive, confident, and calm. She provided regular updates, asked questions when needed, and I was confident Benji was in good hands.”
“Leaving “Little Missy” (my 13-yr. old Jack Russell Terrier) with Christina and Brent was the first time I can remember, getting away for the weekend and really enjoying myself. I can finally relax knowing “my little girl” is safe and secure with the husband and wife team that really cares. I knew she was in good hands the moment I pulled into the driveway. That’s when Brent came out of the house to greet us excited and calling Missy’s name. Suddenly, the dog that had been moping around all morning because I was leaving… Immediately! Came to life and took off running towards Brent like she had known him her whole life. He picked her up and started playing with her like they were old friends. That’s when I felt relief… knowing I had finally found a place where Missy could interact and play with a caring couple and their sweet dog Harper. Giving my dog the time and attention she needs and deserves. PLUS… I really appreciated the candid photographs Christina snapped of Missy during her stay. They allowed me to take a peek at what she was up to…while giving me a satisfied peace of mind.”
“Casey & Luigi were awesome as well as their son McCoy. They took care of our dog as if it was their own. This is a great feeling to have when you’re on vacation where you can’t bring your pet. They always made you feel at ease and gave you updates as to how your pet was doing. I 100% recommend them as they truly go out of their way for you.”
“Emily took such good care of our fur baby. We could see how happy he was in the daily photos she sent us. Great communication before and during our trip. When we had a last minute change in travel plans, Emily was very gracious and accommodating. We will definitely be asking her to care for Bear again.”
“Megan and Jeff took such great care of our pup, Kona, from Thursday to Sunday. From the start, they were incredibly responsive and communicative, which made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. They sent regular updates and pictures, so we always knew how Kona was doing. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they watch, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kona came back happy and well cared for, which says everything. We would absolutely trust Megan and Jeff again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful pet sitters!”
“Charish did a fantastic job with our Sheepadoodle, Nooga for an overnight stay. We did a meet and greet the week before her stay. While we were gone we got updates with pictures! Nooga seemed to be content and enjoyed her stay. Really appreciate The Charish took to love on our girl!”
“Major, our Shih Tzu, needs a little extra TLC. So we are very happy that Rachel was available to take care of him for our vacation. She made sure he got all the attention an older dog needs. She sent daily pictures and updates and gave Major his special diet and lots of love.”
“Sara worked great with our dogs! Her own dog and cat also got along well with my fellas. She had good control of them without being g heavy handed. Seemed quite loving to them.”

Emma did a wonderful job while we were on vacation watching our son graduate from basic training. She always reached out to me if she had any questions or concerns. Got a lot of pictures and updates which made this dog mom at ease. Emma will also be coming to the house for drop ins while I’m at work. I would 100% recommend her for any of her services.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dayton on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
80% 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 TN 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.
