“Madeline was prompt and courteous. She is also a great photographer. I kept all the pictures she took of my dog. We communicated by leaving notes for each other, and she was very kind when tending to my pet. I would recommend her to anyone on the Rover app and I will also book her, in the future, the next time I’m out of town.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them!

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.

I will maintain your home while you’re away and respect your space!
“My original dog sitting plans fell through, so I hopped on this app with the hopes of finding someone on short notice. I am so thankful Giselle responded to me! She was kind, easy to communicate with, and followed all of my instructions. I came home to a very happy pup!”

About: We are a new family of three and are preparing to add a wired hair fox terrier in the near future. We had a family dog when I was young but he sadly passed away due to old age. My husband and son love dogs and all animals. His previous pair of dogs was sadly stolen from him and he hasn’t been ready to get another pet. That recently changed when our son started showing extreme interest in dogs and other animals. We want to test the waters with dog boarding and walking to see before committing. For us, a pet is forever. I work from home and my work is flexible. I can accommodate changes in schedule. My office is in the galleria area and my house is in humble. I can do dog walks in the galleria area as well. I have a fenced backyard and empty rooms to house the dogs if they need to have their own space. We live in a very friendly neighborhood and parks nearby.

Personal pup 3 years old, crate trained, and very friendly. 7 year old son who loves dogs and plays well.

About: My name is Melody and I have always loved caring for pets and helping out in the community. I have a small background in pet sitting, totaling about 2 years now. I am not a Baytown native, but I have lived in the area for about 3 years and am getting to know the area more and more each day. I am bilingual, consider myself to be very friendly and love it if I can bring a smile to someone’s day. I look forward to meeting new people and being able to lend a hand by taking good care of your furry friends, big or small. I also work from home M-F so your fur babies will always have someone with them. My boyfriend Moses often helps out with pet care as well and he is wonderful with animals. If you should have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to provide some answers. I work from home and as a result am able to care for your fur babies constantly. I love relaxing when I’m not working and I’d love to have your fur babies around for company 🙂. I have a fenced yard and can provide your pets some exercise time outside. I also have 2 golden retrievers who are very friendly with other dogs and would love to make some new friends.

About: I've taken care of pets personally since I was eight years old. I have professionally cared for a variety of cute pups for nine years. Ensuring that each experience is individual for every Fur Mom/Dad is important to me so you feel most assured your pet is well taken care of when you are gone. I have experience administering some medications and dealing with special needs as well. I am currently working full-time (M-F, 7a-4p). I am off weekends! Even working full-time, I still have plenty of time to spend caring for your pet(s). I am available during the weekday around my work schedule, and I am open on weekends for the convenience of your travel needs! I have been a member of the Cleveland community since 2022. When I care for your pet(s), I work with pet parents to develop an individualized care plan, so although you may be away, they are on the same schedule for their comfort and the pet parent's ease of mind. Constant communication is essential to me, as I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend; frequent updates allow pet parents ease of mind and comfort knowing their pet is well cared for. While I care for your pet(s), I will message you as I arrive at your home, send detailed updates and photos while I am with your fur children, and let you know when I leave. I do work full-time (M-F, 7a-4p), but I work with pet parents' needs and can always work with the fur babies before I go to work and after work as long as that fits the pet parent's needs. I work with pet parents to create an individualized plan. By making these, I can know all the do's and don'ts with their pet. I have experience with clients with fenced yards to lease only and crating dogs while away. I will ensure your pet is safe, comfortable, and stress-free while in my care.
“This was our first time having Brittany walk our pug. She was on time, communicative and very responsible. Our fur-baby very much enjoyed his walk. We will definitely hire Brittany again in the near future.”

About: Growing up I always had dogs and would constantly watch dogs 101 and vet shows. I learned their language to better connect with them especially if they have anxiety. Right now I am raising 3 cats and caring for my elderly dog who has seizures so I know how to handle a situation when it come to it along with schedule medications. My dog also only chooses me to cuddle with during thunderstorms so if your pup has a fear of storms while you're gone you can rest assure I'm making them feel as safe as possible. I have pretty big gaps between my day schedule, between school and work. I have time for morning, afternoon and night visits. I usually get out of work 830 the latest so medication will be able to be given before too late in the night In the client's home I would normally make sure I can see their pet at all times to guarantee no accidents happen on my watch. I also depending on the breed and personality of the dog will walk them or give them enrichment more often as needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,269 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:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
