“TLDR: Giselle is amazing with both immediately friendly dogs and reactive dogs who need longer to warm up. Giselle was amazing with both of our girls! We have a labradoodle who is a true velcro dog and a terrier mix who is not a fan of strangers. We went through rover because we wanted our dogs to start getting used to new people. I was extremely nervous about leaving our terrier mix with someone new. She's not a biter but she does bark and charge at strangers who go near her. We scheduled a meet and greet a few days early with Giselle and she stayed until the terrier settled. During the actual drop ins, at first the terrier did not want to go to Giselle at all but Giselle was patient and sat with her to show her she was safe. By the second or third drop in, the terrier was not just okay with Giselle but genuinely excited to see her! We were so relieved that our dogs were comfortable while we were away.”

“Payton was professional, always on time, and most importantly our very picky cat adored her— snuggles on the chair, being brushed while being fed, and overall being treated like the queen that she is. Thank you! We look forward to booking again”

“Jennifer was nothing short of absolutely A-MAZING!!! We could NOT be more happy we found her! We are SO excited to have found this service and even MORE excited to know Jennifer is someone we can rely on in the future! WOW! We WILL call on her again!!”

“Bailey was an answer to my prayers. She was available at the last minute and took great care of my kitty, Luna. I received regular reports and photos of Luna. I knew she was in good hands with Bailey. I will definitely be calling her again!”
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.
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: I have always had pets growing up still have some! I love animals with a passion. You can trust me to treat your pet like it’s my own! I have taken a break from work because I want to focus on starting a family so I will be doing some rover jobs on the side. I currently live in a house with a big back yard I am willing to watch 1 dog at my house because I do have 4 other dogs that live with me.

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breed. My family calls me the “dog whisperer” I naturally connect with pups easily. If given the opportunity, I will provide safe, loving, and reliable care by treating your dog as my own. Pet care can be fit into my daily routine after working my full time job. I typically am available in the area anytime after 6pm everyday. I’m very straightforward and respectful when caring for pets in a clients home. I was raised to value people’s homes as their place of peace, so I always prioritize leaving everything exactly as I found it- neat and in order. To me, caring for your space goes in hand with caring for your pets, both should be treated with respect and attention.
About: Heyy there! I'm Heather, your friendly neighborhood dog lover! I am a full time pet groomer and have happily been so the past 6 years. I also spend my free time pet sitting for friends and taking care of my own fur babies. I have 2 large breed puppies and a 4 year old cat. Since I am a dedicated animal lover, your pets comfort and safety is my #1 priority! Your animals will love my high energy and willingness to play and make walks super fun. I also love giving out (approved) treats to good babies! I look forward to working with you and your precious fur-babies! I am a full time stay at home mom so my availability is very flexible for your pets needs. If anything needs to change for services please don’t hesitate to ask, I’m here for you! I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I believe they are so unique and special. I know that being away from these precious fur babies can be stressful for both you and them, so I make it my top priority to help your precious little fur balls feel at ease as much as I possibly can. In my house, pets are family and all are welcome.
“He was an amazing pet sitter! went and checked on my babies as much as we asked and made sure they were taken care of while we were out of town! would definitely use his help again!”

“Melanie is our go to gal for watching our fur babies! Not only is she professional, thorough, and sweet - she is also personable. Even though Rover notifies you when your sitter has arrived, Melanie sends her own personal message informing you she’s on-site. She also sends pictures/videos of your pets along with verbal updates. She likes to do a meet and greet before your actually booking which is nice. This is when you give her your notes/request/suggestions and overall routine of your pets. She immediately won over my pets and embraced their chaos - She is also armed and loaded with bite sized treats. Melanie is trustworthy and truly loves animals. Do yourself a favor and use her - we’re already booking her again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, playtime, walks, feeding, or extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide loving and reliable care. ❤️🐶 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and now that my child has started pre-K, I have plenty of time during the day to care for your pets. I’m available for daytime drop-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and boarding. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I’m also able to keep pets separated when needed and can crate your dog if requested. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care instructions carefully, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve always been the kind of person who learns the dog’s name before the human’s. 🐾 Whether your dog is a professional couch potato, a fetch fanatic, a certified Velcro dog, or thinks every walk is the greatest adventure of their life, I love figuring out what makes them happiest. I also have extensive hands on experience with Believe in Dog Training in Houston Heights, where I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior, communication, and training. I’ve personally taken two of my own dogs through training with them, so I understand how important consistency, positive reinforcement, boundaries, and keeping up with the commands and routines your dog already knows can be. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your normal walking routine, feeding schedule, commands, house rules, and all those little quirks that make your dog your dog. I don’t want your pet to simply be checked off a to do list while you’re gone. They’ll get genuine attention, playtime, walks, love, and cuddles if that’s their thing. And yes, you can absolutely expect photo updates including the unnecessarily cute ones. 🐶❤️ My schedule is flexible, which means I have plenty of time to make your pets a priority! 🐾 I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine because we all know they’re the ones actually running the schedule. Whether it’s morning zoomies, an afternoon walk, or dinner served precisely when demanded, I’m there! Your pet’s safety comes first fun is a very close second! 🐾 I follow your instructions, routines, house rules, and training cues closely because consistency matters. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll never introduce your pet to another animal or take them somewhere new without your permission. I also know every pet has their quirks. Whether I need to give them space, burn off some serious zoomies, throw the ball approximately 900 times, or provide mandatory couch cuddles, I’ll adapt to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. You can expect plenty of updates and pictures along the way because wondering what your pet is doing while you’re gone is half the struggle! ❤️
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.
About: I have fallen in love with every kitten whom I've ever met, and I would love to add yours to that list. Whether your baby likes to play or prefers to lounge in the sunlight and enjoy royalty status, I have the perfect most loving home for them to visit. I am located in the heart of Kingwood and have a medium apartment with plenty of space for your kitty to roam around, sunlight for basking, and wood panel floors for a worry free stay. I have a convenient hybrid work schedule allowing me to be at home an extra day out of the week (Friday), and for Monday through Thursday I work downtown typical hours, allowing me to be home around 6:30ish. This leaves me plenty of time in the evenings and all weekend to spend some quality time with your baby, outside of just seeing to basic needs. On office days I can also check in on my fluffy house guests from my pet cams and see how they’re enjoying their stay. For most days I should be able to meet internal clock meal times to a T, ensuring consistency and peace of mind for your kitty. I do not currently have a cat of my own, so if your baby prefers not being looked after with other furry friends, they'll have nothing to worry about. I have plenty of space and window-cast sunlight beams for any cat to feel at home and comfortable. It is just myself and my son at home, so there is plenty of attention available to love and dote on your baby. I have space for any accommodations needed, such as litter boxes and/or larger toys or scratching posts. For those cool cats who enjoy outdoor walks and some fresh air, I have the Town Center park practically right outside my front door and would love to go enjoy a nice walk with them.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,341 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dayton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 96% of sitters 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
