“Suzanne watched our dog for about 4 days and he really enjoyed his time there and playing with her dogs and in the backyard. She sent us a picture everyday so we could see what he's up too. We'd definitely use her again when we're in the area again.”
“Kristie and family were wonderful to work with. She was very communicative and texted and sent pictures often. Rudy was very well taken care of and loved during his visit.”
“Ashley was GREAT! She sent pictures and updates every day while I was gone. She even called me when Gatsby had a bit of diarrhea. I would definitely use her again. Thank you Ashley and Rover!”
“Madison was just OUTSTANDING!! Given last minute notice she took in our 5 month old “Zumi” as we were transitioning moving from Hawai’i to Ohio. Madison sent daily pics of Zumi and took such great care of her!! Will recommend her to anyone and if needs be we’ll definitely be requesting her for any or future dog sitting!! Thank you again Madison!!!”
About: We’re big dog people and absolutely believe that pets are family. We have our own dog and have loved caring for the dogs of family and friends over the years. We also use Rover ourselves, so we know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to take care of your pet. We want to provide that same feeling of love, care, and peace of mind for other pet parents. Our goal is for your pup to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾❤️ My husband and I both work full-time, but I’m a teacher, so I have more flexibility during the summer and school breaks. We’re also available most evenings and weekends throughout the year. We love spending time with dogs and are happy to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’ll work with your schedule to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. We want every pup in our care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. We have a fenced-in yard and our own friendly dog who loves having company! We’re happy to keep your pup’s normal routine, whether that means specific feeding times, walks, crate time, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable. We’re also happy to meet beforehand so you and your pup can get to know us and make sure it feels like a good fit. As Rover users ourselves, we know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pet. Pets are family to us, and we want you to feel that same love and peace of mind while your pup is with us. We’ll keep you updated with lots of pictures along the way, too! 🐶❤️
“We had a great experience— super communicative and flexible, with lots of photos and check-in’s so that I knew that everything was going ok. I appreciate the effort that went into helping my Eddie feel comfortable and confident in the new space!”
“I can't recommend Paige enough as a dog watcher! She took exceptional care of my two dogs for a week, and I could tell they were in great hands from the moment I met her. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving, which gave me peace of mind during my time away. She kept me updated with daily photos and texts, showing me how my dogs were doing and even sharing some funny moments. She took the time to learn their routines, ensuring they felt comfortable and at ease. Both dogs were happy and healthy when I returned, and it was clear they had enjoyed their time with her.”
“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. In college, I worked at a boarding and training service for dogs. I currently have three of my own, and love being a dog mom. I treat my dogs like they are my children, and I enjoy being around animals all the time! I am a teacher, so during the summer months I have a lot of availability. I am looking to help out those who are busy or work during the summer. I can drop in to let out your pet and play with them for 10-15 minutes. For walking services, I will spend 30 minutes walking, and then play for 10-15 minutes. I have a spacious home and yard, but it is not fenced in. I always go outside with the pets and supervise them. We live in a safe neighborhood. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized; they enjoy being around other animals.
“Nicole watched my dog for two days and did a great job. She kept me updated and sent me pictures and videos. She made sure he got his exercise and playtime in daily, and Romeo had alot of fun too. I highly recommend Nicole and will use her the next time I need a dog sitter.”
About: Dogs are my favorite friends. I take care of them just like they are mine. i love giving them cuddles, kisses and yummy cold treats. Your loved ones will have the best time when they are with me. Frequent walking, playtime, and safety are my top priority when taking care of them. Of course, cuddles, food and comfy blankets/beds too! I enjoy training dogs with any kind of cool tricks. I’m currently working at home. I usually walk 3x during the day. Early morning, mid day and evening. Your furry friends will join me on my walks and have 30 mins individual play time x 2 during the day and before bed time. I have a fenced yard and a small friendly dog that will keep your dog active at all times. Water will always be filled up for them to sip on. Sunroom to keep them comfortable at all times when weather permits. When the weather gets too hot/cold, your furry bestie are going to warm up/cool off/play/rest in the basement. they are free to roam inside the house.
“Ashley is fantastic! A great communicator with quick responses. She clearly cared for our beloved golden retriever, River with consistent reports and photos. When we got River home she was totally wiped out! This tells me she had plenty of play time and time outside while staying with Ashely and Ethel. I will certainly be contacting Ashley the next time we need help with River!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years, including my own pets as well as dogs for family and friends. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine and personality so they feel safe and cared for. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and affection, and I’m committed to providing reliable care while keeping pet owners updated along the way. Pet care fits easily into my daily summer routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I’m reliable with routines like feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they’re used to. In my client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and give them plenty of attention while their owner is away. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pet is doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise by going on walks or playing in our large gulley fenced in yard. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oak Harbor is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $60 per night. 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 162 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oak Harbor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Oak Harbor can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oak Harbor home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oak Harbor.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Oak Harbor sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
