About: I have had my own pup for 10 years, I love to walk him and give him lots of love! I would treat your pet no different than i would treat my very own furbaby. I don’t mind giving baths and taking walks. I make sure they are fed and have fresh water as well as lots of love and attention. I don’t have other pets besides dogs but I am willing to follow instructions and do what an owner asks of me to meet the needs of their pet whatever it may be to make it happy and keep it healthy and safe. My main goal would be to make sure the pet was happy and comfortable while their owner was away and i believe I can do that for you!
About: I have taken care of my own 6 year old Yorkie for the past 6 years and I have had many dogs in my childhood as well that I have looked after. I am taking a break from traditional work and love animals so I have plenty to time to dedicate to taking care of your pets ! I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space to play as well as my own 6 year old Yorkie who loves to make new friends .
About: I have had experience with lots of dogs. Considering i watched plenty of my families dogs. I raised four of my own . A Rottweiler ,Cane Corso, pitbull and African mastiff . Self trained these four big breeds. Which i can say i can walk either one outside with no leash. I love dogs I will care for yours as if they were part of my pack. I work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and supervision throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I can stick to their feeding schedules, take dogs on walks, provide playtime, administer medications if needed, and make sure they’re comfortable and never left alone for long periods. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide a calm, safe, and loving environment while their owners are away. I would consider bringing your pets own toys. If your pet needs to be caged I can work with that. Also bring your pets own leash or harness . If your pet was to stay I like to go on walks and I would need a leash or harness. If your pet has a schedule to eat or any routine I can work with that also just let me know. I would not except any aggressive or disobedient pets. If your pet is staying over night i would not except non home trained pets either.
“Courtney followed all my instructions and did an awesome job taking care of my pups. She checked in often with photos and showed them lots of love. Will use her services again!”
About: Hello! If you're looking for a sitter to come to your house, a dog walker, or just someone to check in on your baby, look no further. I have 3 years of experience in the veterinary field as a receptionist and over a decade of experience in caring for my own dogs! I love animals and am attentive, dependent, and knowledgeable. I can care for babies of any age and have experience handling and giving medications. I just moved to Texas in the beginning of September and am currently unemployed, so I can be there to give your baby round the clock care and attention! When watching your baby in your home, I will be there to make sure they get appropriate exercise and plenty of snuggles! I am able to stay overnight as needed or can pop in to check on them throughout the day, whichever works best for you.

About: As an aunt to two cats, I regularly help feed, clean their litter box, and make sure they are always being cuddled.

I'm available Mondays and Wednesdays all day and then in the evenings all the other days. I follow routines, feed pets, give fresh water, clean spaces, provide play and affection, monitor health, and update owners to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a dog since I was 10 years old and they have always been my best friend and a big part of my life. I also have a 6 year old Goldendoodle who is a huge part of our family. I love dogs of all sizes and ages and really enjoy spending time with them. I’ve also taken care of a lot of my friends’ dogs while they’ve been out of town, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime and giving them plenty of attention. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for while they’re with me. My work schedule is flexible. I start my days early and am usually available after 2 PM, giving me plenty of time for pet care. I treat every pet like my own. I follow their normal routine and provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also ensure walks and a safe, comfortable, stress-free environment where they feel happy and cared for.
About: Hello I am a dog groomer and student in the Spring, Tx area looking to extend my pet care services. I work from home with my own clientele now. I have worked at pet hotels and resorts, and would like to continue to care for animals as I always have. After all of my dogs crossed the rainbow bridge, I decided to love on other peoples dogs instead and have been doing this for 15 years (2011). I am trustworthy and passionate about all animals! I am available during the day times and can make drop ins at night before or after school. I go to school at night to become a radiologic technologist. I care fore pets in your home by following strict guidelines provided by you. I offer clear communication and will also sen pictures with detailed description.
“Amina has previously cared for two of my beloved fur babies, who have since crossed the rainbow bridge. The love, care, and patience she showed them made it clear that she had to be a part of my new pup’s life. Since he’s a rescue, I knew he’d be wary of new people—but of course, Gobi absolutely adores her! We’re so grateful that Amina has become a staple in our daily routine. She has provided drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, even caring for multiple pups in my home. Finding someone we can truly trust has been a blessing, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her dedication and kindness.”

About: I have been taking care of pets for family members and friends for over 5 years now. It started when a friend had an emergency out of town and needed help. It was a pleasure to sit in and feed, play, and send goofy pictures of my friend’s dog to provide ease and comfort during a hard time. I work full time and that means my cats are fed on a routine. They require a special diet that requires portioned meals and time to play. I have an active pet cam that I am able to use to talk to them when I am not home to provide comfort and time dispensers for treats. I will abide by your routine and follow directive on when to feed, when to walk, and when to provide or administer medication.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,254 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Dayton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Dayton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dayton. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
