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!

“Madeline was great! She took care of and played with our ever-full-of-energy German shepherd as well as tended to our older dog. She even went out of her way when we lost power to make sure all the animals were cool and kept us updated as we looked to make plans. Thankfully everything came back on, but she is the exact type of person you want looking after your family members.”

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.

“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!”

“"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: 30+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes—from Chihuahuas to Malamutes. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and seniors needing extra patience and care. I’ve volunteered at veterinary offices and trained under a professional dog trainer, so I understand dog behavior, basic health needs, and safe handling. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and on their routine. Reliable, attentive, and experienced—you can trust your dog is in good hands. Currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for care. I’m available for daily walks, drop-ins, and playtime throughout the week after 4pm, with open availability for boarding, extended stays, and weekend care. I’m happy to accommodate both regular weekly schedules and last-minute needs whenever possible—your dog’s routine and happiness come first. Safe, two-story home with a fully fenced yard in a quiet, low-traffic Lake Houston community. Nearby trails and dog parks for plenty of exercise. I prioritize supervision, secure spaces, and a calm environment so your pup feels safe and at home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets through house sitting (several platforms) and personal referrals for over 3 years, including dogs and cats with a variety of needs and personalities including medication distribution. I’m experienced with overnight stays, maintaining routines, feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and providing a calm, consistent environment while owners are away. I also work remotely, so I’m able to be present in the home for extended periods, giving pets more attention, supervision, and stability compared to sitters who are in and out throughout the day. Most of my experience has come from repeat sits and trusted referrals, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be home for extended periods throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and last-minute bookings when needed. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort, and I keep spaces clean and secure at all times. Since I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can provide regular updates for peace of mind.

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 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 have worked with dogs for 6 years, I own two dogs as well. A German Shepherd/Belgian Maliniois named Dex he is 5 years old and he has so much energy but is the biggest friendly fur ball. I also have a Cavachon named Dakota, he is 3 years old and he a couch potato inside and a dare devil outside. I work at a doggy daycare currently so I’ve worked with various breeds and I understand that you can not judge a dog based on breed. I also worked with temperaments and personality as well, I can manage the behaviors if walks are taking. I’m also in vet tech school so I’m currently learning more about dogs such as health issues and signs. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide your furry family members with attentive, loving care throughout the day. Your pets will be closely monitored and cared for 24/7 in a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home for every pup in my care. Crates are only used for feeding if needed, and the rest of the time your furry friend is free to roam and relax. My home also has security cameras for added peace of mind. Your pup will enjoy walks, plenty of attention, and lots of love while they’re with me. I respect each pups routine and personality, and fresh water is always available to keep them happy and comfortable.

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.
