“Namita was incredibly sweet and very accommodating with our travel plans. She went out of her way to make things more convenient for us, which was greatly appreciated with my hectic schedule. Not only that, she also sent me regular pictures and updates of my dog! My pup came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Namita as a pet sitter :)”
“Alexandra was amazing with our two dogs, Abby and Bear, during their 6-night stay with her! She sent daily pictures and updates and stayed in communication with us the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. Abby and Bear were well cared for and came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Katie did an AWESOME job! She sent a updates each day of our dog having fun with her two dogs. Between play time in the large yard and the living room our dog had a blast and was worn out when I brought him home. I recommend her to anyone!”
“Norma and Edwin were great taking care of our pets. They were great with communication and provided multiple daily updates and photos. They were flexible with us and will for sure book them again when we need it.”
“Michelle & Jeremy were quick to respond to all messages, easy to work with, sent daily photos/videos of our boys and took good care of them. We’ll use them again for sure.”
“Once again, Jessica went above and beyond in taking care of Raya! She sends updates and photos of Raya throughout her stay. It’s so nice knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Such a great experience throughout the entire boarding. Gaby sent me updates, photos, and was quick to respond. She treated coco like her own which put me at ease. I’ve never felt so comfortable with anyone watching my dog until now. I’m usually told she won’t even eat which makes me so nervous, but she was eating, playing, and not at all shy like she has been every time anyone else has watched her. What’s important to me is the attention coco needs because she’s my shadow at home. Gaby said she went everywhere with her, sat with her, and slept with her; which is the same routine I’m used to and it’s hard to ask another person to give your dog so much of their time to cater to my diva lol Will highly recommend and truly believe she will make you feel at ease booking with her. (:”
“I had a wonderful experience with Ariana. She took great care of my 4-month-old puppy, and I really appreciated her attention to detail in following my specific instructions. It gave me peace of mind leaving my young pup in her hands. I will absolutely be using her services again.”
“Matthew was awesome accepting my last minute booking. My puppy was instantly comfortable with him. He didn’t bark or anything when they met. The daily updates and photos were great for my anxiety as this was the first time I was not with my puppy. Thank you Matthew and we will back. Hopefully you are available.”
“Great pet sitter! They took excellent care of my spoiled Chihuahuas and treated them like their own. I received numerous daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Upon meeting for the first time Koko was drawn to them. All of her pictures and videos were of her smiling and truly enjoying being away from home. 10/10 with plans to book again.”
“If I could give Emily 10 stars I would. Her communication is great, she sends daily updates, pictures & overall took great care of my girl. When we had an emergency situation arise during our time away and had to extend our stay Emily was so quick to accommodate and went above & beyond to do what she could to help. Will 100% be booking with her again.”
“Boba is always happy during her stay with Sorjuanita and her family. As always, we’re appreciative of their time and attention to our pup and their communication”
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever and a 10-year-old Maltipoo, so I’m very comfortable with both energetic young dogs and older pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, with additional availability on weekends. I’ll always work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. When I’m caring for your pets, I’ll keep them safe and comfortable in their own home while following their normal routines. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else they need. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like they’re part of my own family!
“Karen and her family was so great with my puppy. She even got him to start going outside instead of using puppy pads. She kept me informed with texts and pictures while I was away. I would definitely recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dayton is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $39 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.

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.
96% 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, 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 TX 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.
