“Our dogs have stayed twice and absolutely love staying there! We will be rebooking many more trips! Thank you for loving my babies. We also received pictures everyday we were gone which makes me feel better about being gone that I know they were happy.”


“Stella stayed with Christina P for 8 nights. We have never boarded Stella for that long, so we were a little nervous about it because Stella is timid. Christina P asked us to bring Stella to her house a few days before our trip. We had a good feeling as soon as wet met her! Stella took to her right away. It took some getting used to that evening for Stella to feel comfortable with the other dogs (bc of her being so timid), but we left her home feeling confident that Stella would be in good hands. While we were on vacation, Christina was very good at sending photos of Stella in a very timely and consistent manner. When we brought Stella home after our trip, she didn’t skip a beat! She was very well adjusted after her 8 night, 9 day stay with Christina! We noticed no anxiety when we brought Stella home, and she went right to eating her food at her normal schedule. It is exciting to know that we can plan other trips and know that Stella will be in good hands with Christina and her husband!”

“Alora took great care of Dude! She sent several pictures and an update daily that showed her kids playing with Dude and taking him for walks. I have no doubt that he was taken well care of during our vacation. I would recommend Alora to w.”

“Maisie had a wonderful time with Marluce. She had lots of fun socializing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Marluce for superb care for your furry friend.”

About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodle, a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!

“Casey and Luigi were super accommodating with our chaotic travel schedule. They sent updates and took great care of Ivy. Ivy loved playing with their dogs! We will definitely be using them again!”

“Angela was a great host for our English Cocker Spaniel, Poppy! She is clearly an animal lover and loves on Poppy as if she were her own. Her communication was fantastic and sent us cute pics each day. So glad we found Angela!”

“Melody truly has a great big heart for the pets that she cares for. She provides great feedback and plenty of pictures of my dogs that have stayed with her. Thanks so much Melody, when Marty & Starr are with you I don’t worry at all about their care.”

“Chris did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. He gave routine updates with pictures and details that gave me all the comfort while we were away for the week. He was very flexible with our schedule and extremely detail oriented and meticulous about knowing their routine and any medication’s needed. It was also nice to find a Dog Sitter that does not take a million bookings during the same time. Our dogs are not very friendly with other dogs and Chris made sure not to double book with us. We will definitely be using him again for our dog sitting needs!”

I was worried that kimmy would just want to stay there forever haha thanks Christina and I will definitely try booking with you again”

She communicated with us multiple times over the weekend, and sent us pics of their time together. I would definitely recommend Jessica and plan to book with her again!”

“David was my first choice and I'm thankful he was available. He was very accommodating. Our cocker spaniels were at ease with him. He made our vacation much more enjoyable by creating space just for them and providing updates. I highly recommend his care for your fur babies.”

Sharon is an above and beyond sitter! Lots of pictures, great communication and our dog Lily always comes back happy and excited! When I went to pick her up they were enjoying some back yard time. Could not speak more highly of her and she will continue to be our go to!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dayton is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 192 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 , 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 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.
