“Erin was wonderful! She took great care of my puppy, Dash and he had a great time with her and Theo! Dash was super excited to see Erin when I dropped him off and she provided updates throughout the day. Can’t recommend enough!”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dog with someone we didn’t know. As you can imagine we were a bit anxious. Namita and Sean did everything right to alleviate our concerns. They were super responsive to all communication, arranged a meet and greet so everyone (humans and dogs :)) could be introduced before the day of our trip, and sent great updates w/pictures while we were away. Great experience all around. We will definitely trust our dog with them in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different animals since I was about 5 years old. I’ve cared for birds, a squirrel, raccoons, and many dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’ve trained puppies and taken care of dogs in wheelchairs and diapers. I currently have an open schedule as I just graduated college with my Bachelors degree. I would be available all days of the week to take care of your pups and cats. I treat my animals as part of my family, they are spoiled and very happy. I will gladly treat your animals as part of my family too, as well as follow any instructions you give for how you train them and keep them on your schedule.
“Laura kept us informed all day of the happenings of our Rosie! While we weren't sure how Rosie would do because she gets anxious, Laura made Rosie feel right at home. We will be booking regularly and look forward to working with Laura again!”
About: I grew up with dogs, from pups to seniors. Pets rely on caring people for a happy life. As a steward in this world, I am blessed with opportunities to provide a safe and happy place for your pet while you are away. I work from home, and beyond work, I am home most of the time, the exception being short errands nearby. My errands are flexible and I can schedule those around the needs of your pet. I won't crate yours unless you want me to. I will want to know your dog's routine, feeding schedule, personality, sleeping habits, etc., so I can best meet his or her needs. We have two dogs. Both are about year and a half old and once properly introduced, are friendly with other dogs.
About: I love dogs. I have 4 of my own. They are spoiled rotten and treated as if they are part of the family. Our dogs have no aggression towards other dogs. I will be able to work around almost any request. I have an older child (age 23) at home and my husband works alot of hours. I live in the partial country. No fenced yard but i can use a leash to keep them from running off. We have approximately 2 acres cleared. My home has 4 dogs that are very friendly.
“Serina was wonderful with my dog for the day. She has such a welcoming, friendly attitude and made my pup feel right at home. I really appreciated all the photo and video updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog clearly loves staying with Serina, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Very nice and caring person in all aspects! We feel safe leaving our little fur baby with Jannine and her other pups so our Zack can have a play day ???? Highly recommend Jannine!”
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.
“Kaitlynn was a fantastic dog daycare sitter! Her family, including her sweet kids, were so gentle and attentive with my dog — even doing story time and really catering to her needs. Kaitlynn communicated wonderfully throughout the day and was very easy to work with. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

Because I work from home your dog will enter a well-socialized, animal-friendly environment and receive attentive, round-the-clock care. Your pup will rarely be alone. Through my current pack, extensive rescue & foster work, and lifetime of pet ownership, I’ve experienced it all. I am entirely comfortable and experienced with every stage of life.

“My boy Paco had a wonderful time with Stacy. She was very accommodating, taking care of him on pretty short notice for a couple of evenings while in town for a wedding. I really appreciated the updates and photos. He came home happy and worn out. I will definitely use her again.”
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.

“We really appreciated all Cyril did for our little dogs. She sent pictures & tracked the dog's output. We loved how well our dog's responded and just hung out as if they were home with us. We were worried moving to a new place and taking a chance on a new dog sitter on a day trip into the city and she really came through in a pinch and did a wonderful job. If she likes our dog's we will definitely be a repeat customer if she'd like take care of our puppies. You should feel comfortable leaving your pup's with Cyril.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dayton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 510 sitters in Dayton, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
