“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Dog Sitter – Highly Recommend Kacie! Kacie did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my dog for a few days. From the very beginning, she was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she treated my dog like her own, showing patience, love, and responsibility in everything she did. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly wonderful with pets, Kacie is the one. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”
“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 :)”
“Very Thankful that Marcus was so accommodating to take Charli with very little notice, when I had inadvertently mixed up my booking dates. Also, drop off was insanely early and Marcus was on the phone and outside his house so I could find his house. Charli, was a happy girl. Thank you Marcus and family!”
“Esteban took really great care of my baby! He communicated very well, took several pictures and sent them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking. Your baby will be in good hands.”

“Wendy was THE absolute best!! She was very kind and accommodating!! I had complications happen with my move and at the last minute, she didn’t hesitate to keep my babies an extra day!! I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Wendy!! And, while I don’t often have a need, any time I do, she’s who I will go to 💕”
“Emily and her family are a dream come true. I was very nervous about leaving our 1 yo with someone while we went on vacation (first vacation since adopting her!) and Emily was amazing with her and us parents! She sent pictures every day and messaged how she slept. Our dog got a little home sick 🤢 and Emily immediately messaged us and even made her white rice. The next day she was running and jumping and herself again. I’m so happy we found Emily and will absolutely leave our dog with her again!! Thank you Emily! We are so thankful we found you!!”
“Victoriya is always so kind and sweet. She takes good care of Chewie and gives me updates. Chewie has so much fun playing with Buddy and the other dogs in her care. He gets ample playtime and socialization that he enjoys.”
“Bandit had the best time with Laura! She sent regular pictures and videos which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. He was well taken care of and so happy! You can tell Laura truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Lori is always so great with Harley! She and her family absolutely treat her like one of their own. Love that Harley has a safe place to stay that feels like home 🥰”
“She was a wonderful with my little princess Harley. Harley felt right at home. Angela sent photos and kept in contact with me in a timely manner. Will be using her again for sure!! 🥰”
“Cathy was great! My dog has not been around other dogs since leaving the breeder and takes time to warm up to people so I was worried about leaving her with a sitter. Cathy reassured me all would go well and she fulfilled that promise. She was very knowledgable on how to handle my anxious dog at her arrival. Cathy also sent me updates with photos and videos to let me know how my dog was doing. When I came to pick up my dog and Cathy was telling her bye I saw her doing her tail wag that let me know she connected with Cathy and loved being there. I have already rebooked another stay. Thanks again Cathy!”
“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 a wonderful job with our 7 month Lab. We received pictures and a update daily. He came home tired from playing so much!! We definitely would love to have her watch him again!!!”
“Stacy was great! Easy to work with. Easy to book last minute. She was communicative and sent pics letting know what he was up to. Highly recommended and we will be using her again for sure!!”
“Courtney was god sent! With our late booking, I was super nervous about dropping our pup off with someone new (especially with his separation-anxiety). Courtney took him in with open arms, listened to all my worries and requests, and went above and beyond. She sent multiple pictures and videos, always woke up in the morning with an update, she truly made leaving our baby easier than I thought it could ever be. Thank you again and we will see you soon!”
“Matthew was great with Bruno I’ve drop Bruno off more than once for up to a week and haven’t had any problems with my dog after staying with him ! I’ve also request for a bath for an additional fee and tbh he did better than pet smart for cheaper ! Thank you again will be rebooking soon”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dayton on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 699 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 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.
95% 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 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.
