About: I have a huge passion for animals of all types. I will be attentive to your dog's individual needs from dietary to exercise. If there is a specific diet program please leave detailed instructions or provide a demonstration upon meeting. I have owned and taken care of many dogs in the last 12 yrs including staying overnight with a puppy under 6mos and dog sitting 2 great danes. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them on walks, being there for cuddles, or simply providing comfort for their anxiety. Every dog is an individual so I will tailor a plan for your dog accordingly. I have a variety of availability and am prompt to alert to changes. I am great at training and maintaining training routines. I'm currently working a flexible semi remote job. Depending on the needs of the dog(s) I can adjust certain times of my week to accommodate special cases. I can care for pets at your home. My beagle girl is skittish around other dogs and trained with an e fence perimeter. I have dog sat and house sat for friends, family, and unrelated new acquaintances. I have a safe and nurturing spirit combined with a strong enough presence that dogs respect without my need to raise my voice.

About: I love pets of all kinds and sizes! I have done dog sitting for many family members with many different breeds in their homes, and have done drop/in visits for friends when they’re away. I have also done overnight stays for many nights for my sister, who has 2 dogs and a cat. I currently work as a Senior Sales Associate at Club Pilates, which has a varying schedule. However, I always have Saturday and Sunday mornings off at the very least. As we hire more staff, I will have a more consistent schedule with more weekday availability, but for now weekend mornings I’m free to care for your pets!😊 I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention! I also am very detail-oriented when it comes to instructions.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly see them as family. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have had four dogs of my own. I also love cats and have experience caring for them, including diabetic cats and dogs, as well as pets with other medical needs. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or just have someone to keep them company, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and getting the best care while you’re away. Available for boardings on fridays and every other weekend ! I work two days a week so my schedule shifts every week. Can always make a fit !! I’m in an apartment but I can take your pet outside for walks. Still having fun in the house and cuddles! Have two cats if they get along with other animals.

About: Things to know about me: 1. I’ve been dog-obsessed since before the age of 5. I’m now 40(ish), and still have to control my natural and immediate impulse to pet every dog I see. And cats…and goats. Mostly dogs. 2. I have extensive experience with dogs of all kinds. I spent years volunteering at the SPCA. I’ve fostered, dog-sat, socialized and walked all kinds of dogs - large to small, long to short, elderly to puppies. I’ve been bitten more times than I care to admit, and I’ve still NEVER met a dog I don’t like. 3. They belong indoors, in the bed, and on the furniture. They deserve the cheese tax and also the chicken tax. There’s no such thing as a bad dog. I said what I said. In short, if you’re in or around the Dayton area and you need a walker or a day-sitter, I’ll be happy to. And I’ll love your dog like they’re my own while I’m with them. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. throughout the day. I’m occasionally available on weekends during the day, although that availability is a little more infrequent. I’m available to walk and play with your dog, let them out, give treatos or feed as needed, and work on leash training and basic commands if needed.

About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppyhood to senior years! Since age 9, I have been able to be graced with having cats and now have one of my very own who gets whatever she wants. I love pets more than anything and would be honored to take care of yours just as I do mine. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday and am looking to add caring for animals into my time off through drop ins and walking! I am an avid explorer so I tend to walk several miles throughout my week and more on the weekends! I would love to drop in and see your pet to ease your worries about leaving them for work! I ensure the utmost care for my pets in my home and in others that I have cared for. I do this by having a watchful eye on them, engage them in enrichment of their choice, and love on them!

About: I've shared my life with animals for more than 30 years, and I truly can't imagine a home without them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, hermit crabs, and more. Every animal has its own unique personality, and getting to know what makes each one feel safe, happy, and loved is one of my greatest joys. My heart has a special place for senior pets. My beloved Shih Tzu, Paisley, was my soulmate and constant companion for 15 wonderful years. Caring for her through every stage of life taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying attention to the little things—whether that's noticing a change in behavior, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply knowing when a pet needs extra comfort and reassurance. Today, my home is filled with the joyful chaos of two rambunctious hounds, Hunter & Brownie, and one mischievous black kitty, Batman (Mr. Meeps), who keep me laughing every single day. They remind me that every pet is wonderfully unique, with their own personality, quirks, and favorite ways to be loved. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a sweet senior who prefers a slower pace, I'm committed to providing the individualized care, patience, and affection they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is about so much more than feeding and walking them. They are family. When they're in my care, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe, I'll meet them where they are. I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'll provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to return home to a happy pet—and for your pet to look forward to seeing me again. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This flexibility means I can accommodate your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply spending quality time together. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can maintain their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I'll follow your pet's schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. I'll also make sure your home is respected by bringing in mail or packages, watering plants if requested, and leaving everything just as I found it. I know every pet is unique. Some love to play, some prefer long walks, and others simply want a calm companion nearby. I'll take the time to understand your pet's personality and tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate care every step of the way.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 2 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in West Carrollton on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,540 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across West Carrollton. 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 West Carrollton 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.

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 West Carrollton 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!

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in West Carrollton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
