“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Roxi! She took such incredible care of our furbabies and our flock while we were out of town. Knowing they were in her hands gave us such peace of mind. Roxi cared for our animals and our home as if they were her very own. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, safe, loved, and well cared for. It’s such a special feeling to find someone you can completely trust with the things that mean the most to you. Roxi is truly a wonderful soul, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We came home to happy babies and a well-cared-for home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using Roxi again for our next out-of-town trip and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. ❤️🐾🐔”
“LOVED! Was the first time I’ve used Courtney or anyone out side of family in years and I felt comfortable since day one and the pictures of my boys smiling throughout the whole stay just made it better! Will absolutely reach out to Courtney for my future needs”
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: A little about me…I absolutely love animals! I would be the person who will feed a stray and make sure it’s taken care of or potentially finds a home. I provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to create a fun, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I am available whenever needed. My teenage kids also love to help me with the fur babies I care for. We are all animal lovers. ❤️ I have a fenced yard so your pet will always be safe with me. I will make sure to always protect your pet while with me.
“Wendee did a great job with our 3 dogs & a cat over Christmas. She had to get them through severe weather for 2 days & they were as happy as could be when we returned. She communicated well with me & we hope to use her again.”
“Wow! Can’t say enough good things about Bailey. One of our dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes and she was experienced with that easing my mind while I was on vacation! She kept me updated providing some cute pictures and was super easy to communicate with!!! All my fur babies fell in love with her! Can’t wait to book her again!!!”
About: I am a veterinarian,I have 30 years of experience as a veterinarian, I've worked in clinics, I live in a place where I have several animals, it's my passion. I have experience with different types of pets. In my daily routine, they are the most important thing, as I live with several pets in my home. I am very patient and dedicated to them every day. I like to observe the animals' behavior daily so I can monitor their health. I prefer to provide care at the client's home, as recommended by the veterinarian; it's better not to take the pet out of its familiar environment.
“Sophia was great! This was our first experience using Rover, and we felt fully comfortable having her stay at our house with our two large dogs. The dogs were well taken care of and in a good mood when we got back. We would definitely have Sophia back to watch them again!”
“Journey was great! This is the second time that she’s watched my two dogs and she was awesome. She took excellent care of the dogs and the house and she communicated often with pictures of the dogs. They looked happy and comfortable with her which helped me be at ease and enjoy my vacation fully.”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can help with walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up around all kinds of dogs and cats, including Rhodesian Ridgebacks, small dogs, and everything in between. I have a German Shepherd named Kenya, plus cats and kittens, so taking care of animals is something I’m used to. My schedule is pretty open, so I have some flexibility with availability. I’m not the type to rush in and out. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my German Shepherd, Kenya, along with my cats and kittens, so I’m used to daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning, and giving each animal plenty of attention. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.I keep up with their usual feeding, potty, walking, play, and rest schedule while giving them plenty of attention along the way. I also pay attention to the little things—how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what they’re used to at home. Most importantly, I respect the pet parent’s instructions and treat every animal as an individual.
“Jordyn was awesome! My dogs loved her. She was responsive, attentive, cautious and overall made me feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care for my time away. I will be rebooking. Thank you Jordyn!”
About: Dogs have been a consistent and meaningful part of my life for years, and caring for animals is something I approach with intention, structure, and deep respect for their individual needs. I began walking neighborhood dogs in high school, cared for my own dog, Lady, for 15 years, and began fostering in 2024 in her honor. Since then, I have fostered 8 dogs, including multiple litters of puppies and adult dogs with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and medical needs. My experience includes bottle feeding, potty training, basic training, senior care, medical recovery, and working with shy, anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. This has given me a strong ability to read behavior, adjust my approach, and create a calm, structured environment that supports each dog’s wellbeing. I currently have cats in my home, and any boarding or in-home care is thoughtfully considered in advance to ensure safe and appropriate compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervision, and clear routines so animals feel secure and stress is minimized. I live an active lifestyle, and dogs in my care receive consistent walks, enrichment, and attention. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and caring for multiple pets when appropriate, always prioritizing safety, structure, and stability. My approach is simple: thoughtful care, clear communication, and a calm environment where animals feel safe, understood, and well supported. Pet care is intentionally built into my daily routine, and I approach each booking with structure and consistency so pets feel secure and settled. I organize my day around feeding schedules, walks, enrichment, and check-ins, creating a predictable rhythm that supports each animal’s comfort and behavior. I am typically present throughout the day, with occasional short absences for workouts or errands, and I plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can fully meet the needs of each pet I take on. I only accept bookings when I am confident I can provide attentive, reliable care and maintain a calm environment. I provide calm, structured, and highly attentive care rooted in extensive hands-on experience with fosters, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, and medically complex animals. I currently have cats in my home, so any in-home care is thoughtfully evaluated in advance to ensure safe, appropriate, and stress-free compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervised interactions, and consistent routines to create stability and reduce uncertainty for every animal in my care. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and supporting a wide range of behavioral needs, and I take care to ensure each pet’s environment is calm, predictable, and well-managed. When caring in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely to maintain continuity and reduce stress, treating each home with respect and professionalism. I accept bookings when I can fully support the needs of the pet and provide the level of care I would expect for my own.

About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of animals. With cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I'm comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra gentleness and patience. Beyond cats and dogs, I have experience with small animals including ferrets, rabbits, and rodents. I understand that each species has unique needs — ferrets need supervised playtime and mental stimulation, rabbits require a calm environment and proper diet, and rodents need safe handling and clean, comfortable spaces. I'm experienced in medicating animals of all kinds, including oral medications, drops, and topical treatments — even with pets that can be resistant. Please note that I'm not able to accommodate aggressive large or extra large dogs, as safety is my top priority for all animals in my care. No matter the species, I approach every animal with patience, love, and respect. Your pet is in caring, knowledgeable hands. Pet care is not just something I do — it’s a natural part of who I am. I currently care for multiple pets of my own daily, so feeding schedules, medication routines, playtime, and check-ins are already built into my day from morning to night. My routine starts early with morning feedings and care, midday check-ins, and evening wind-downs — so visiting or hosting your pet fits seamlessly into what I already do every single day. I’m home frequently, which means pets in my care are never left alone for long periods. On a weekly basis I stay on top of clean environments, health monitoring, and making sure every animal is happy and thriving. Pet care is my passion and my lifestyle — not just a side task. I care for pets in my own clean, cozy, and pet-friendly home where they receive 24/7 love, supervision, and attention. I provide a safe, calm space and follow their routines closely. I send frequent updates so you always feel connected and confident.
“Cher was amazing with our herd of cats, a dog and parrots, as well as our backyard garden. We appreciated her thoughtfulness in minding our home and frequent communication with photos and videos of our babies. We felt they were genuinely loved and cared for while we were away and we returned to find our home was cleaner than when we left. We will be engaging Cher, if she is available, on all our future trips. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“She was great. She checked in through the day, sent photos and videos each day, she communicated very well and I appreciate her time with them and taking care of our home as well for the week we were gone. Respectful of your home and dogs snd would recommend her to anyone. Appreciate her.”
About: I’ve take care of animals cats, dogs, bunnies, lizards etc since I was about 8. I loved babysitting for my neighbors and taking care of my animals. I’m currently working part time! I am available many different hours of the day, very excited to spend some down time with many pups and cats!! I love to treat my cat with some treats. I have one animal caging isn’t needed for him, he’s not aggressive very sweet and loving. I’m currently working part time, and is available mostly any day of time. I’ve very excited to need all the animals pups cats etc, so that I can share my love! I have one friendly cat I do not have fenced gates. However, the anima will be safe with me.

About: I've learned some fine dog care and some simple basic training before. Especially nursing, I will bathe the dog frequently, groom the dog, clean the ear canal, and clean the oral and nasal cavity. Take your pet out for a walk, go to the park to play with your pet, and build a good relationship with your pet. This way I can incorporate pet care well into my daily and weekly routine. I will always give your dog some delicate care at home. For example, I will often bathe the dog, groom the dog, clean the ear canal, and clean the mouth and nose.

As of October 2026, there are 518 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dayton Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dayton Lakes walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dayton Lakes maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dayton Lakes choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
