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’ve always been surrounded by dogs. I’m not ready to get another dog yet so I know that I would be a good fit for yours. I am retired. Walking your dog would be a blessing to me as well as give you peace of mind. I will take care of yours the same as I would do for mine. I have a fenced in yard. I have no pets. I love being outside and am very active. It would be a honor to be your dog walker.

About: As a young child, I remember my first love with a four legged pup named Snowball. It was then that I learned of their unconditional love and knew dogs would be a huge part of my life. I’m a grateful FurMama of 4 rescued pups and our newest addition of 4 hens/roosters. We have raised all our furry babies since birth and they will forever hold a special place in my heart. Anyone that knows me, knows that if a dog is ANYWHERE in the vicinity of my eyesight - I’m going to pet/love on them with their parents approval. It’s normal for me to refer to my pups as “my kids” because we provide everything they could possibly want/need including home cooked meals on a weekly basis. If given the opportunity to love on your babies, I will do so with the upmost care and will send pics/videos during our hang out sesh. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I rescued my own sweet girl as a puppy over 14 years ago and have rescued others over the years. Family and friends love the thought and care that I take of their sweet babies while they are away. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible to spend time with your four legged family member. My weekends are open when needed or during the week. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pup to roam. We have 4 dogs in our home (ranging from small to XL) who love play dates with friendly pups.

“"Finding someone you can trust with your pets is so stressful and worrison but Candace was amazing!!! Our boy is a rescue that made him fearful of people, he wouldn't even come into our home for two years. From the initial meet-and-greet where our boy was completely in love with her, begging for her attention, to the daily updates, everything was top-notch. Our boy was loved and well-cared for. We will definitely be booking again!"”

About: I have been a dedicated dog owner for years, which has given me hands-on, real-world experience in what it truly takes to keep a pup safe, healthy, and happy. I know firsthand how important routines, clear communication, and lots of love are to a dog's well-being. Because I care for my own dog every single day, I understand the peace of mind pet parents need when they are away. I am used to managing daily feeding schedules, recognizing subtle changes in body language, and providing a structured, attentive environment. Your dog will receive the exact same high standard of dedicated, one-on-one care that I give to my own. I have open availability and am home full-time, meaning your dog will have constant supervision and companionship. Whether it is a quick potty break, a long walk, or flexible drop-off and pick-up times, my schedule easily adapts to whatever routine your pup needs to feel comfortable. I provide a highly secure environment where your pet's safety is my main priority. I focus on dedicated, one-on-one attention so your pup gets plenty of care, supervision, and couch cuddles. I strictly follow your specific feeding, exercise, and safety routines to ensure a completely stress-free stay.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.

About: Caring for dogs has been something I’ve loved since I was a little girl! I started babysitting my neighbors’ dogs when I was just 9 years old, simply because I loved spending time with them and my parents wouldn’t let me have a dog of my own. Over the years and volunteering at shelters I’ve gained plenty of experience understanding dogs’ personalities, routines, and different needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone patient, responsible, and trustworthy to care for your furry family member Since I work from home, I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day! Hello! My name is Gladys. I’m an environmental engineer who works part time from home, which means I have extra time, lots of love, and plenty of patience to give your furry best friend! I also love spending time outdoors, going on hikes, and taking long walks! If your dog enjoys staying active, I’d be happy to keep up with their daily exercise needs. Whether your pup needs outdoor adventures, playtime, cuddles, or simply a little extra company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I have used river services for my own dog; Dixie, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to take care of your baby. As a dog owner myself, I know that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I live in an apartment with a yard, so I prefer to care (boarding) one dog or dogs from the same family at a time. This allows me to give them my full attention and make sure they feel comfortable and safe.

About: As the owner of a 5-year-old Australian Kelpie, I'm experienced with large, high-energy breeds and know how much structure and exercise matter. I keep your dog's routine consistent — feeding, walks, and rest — and send photo updates throughout. Every dog gets personal attention, not a crowded schedule. One tip: if you do have experience with puppy training, senior dogs, or giving medications, add a line about it — those specifics are what win bookings. Want me to work any of that in? Pet care is a natural part of my routine, and I make time every day to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I provide loving, reliable care by following each pet's routine, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and keeping pet parents updated every step of the way.

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: I’ve always had let’s since I was younger. I love to take care of pets and see how we can help them be active or maybe just sit at home. I currently don’t have a job and stay at home.

Normally roam around wherever and go on walk and hikes I’m currently a full-time student that attends online school and apart from that I take care of families and friends pets. Let me get to know your pet so you can relax in your get away or whatever you have going on in life. I currently keep pets I sit indoor with full attention and care 24/7 or the convenience of your own home. Please let me get to know your family so I can help you with your needs.

About: I have been caring for others animals for the past few years and then I got my own. When it comes to animals I believe it’s their home too which is why I personally choose not to crate my dog. I can vacuum a couch so why have them not be on it. They get one life so let’s make it their best ever. Happy to follow whatever philosophy you use for your animal though. I work from home as a consultant! I have a little pup of my own and we’re here all day minus my workouts. Lots of potty and play breaks between after and often during meetings too haha Dogs are able to freely roam so long as I am home. I shut all doors so they are in common spaces. When I cannot watch them I place them in a very large play pen or restrict them to the main area using gates. If a animal is used to crates and it is provided I am happy to have them in there crate at night or when I leave home. I take my own pup out to potty in the yard several times a day and do the same for others each time we go out. With the heat we do a morning walk and a evening long walk as well as play sessions and training throughout the day. We cuddle on the couch for movies and TV as well.

About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dayton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dayton is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,323 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dayton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
