“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Angela and her family were amazing with our sweet pup! Not only did she take wonderful care of him, but he had a great time and it felt like they actually enjoyed having him. Finn clearly felt relaxed and safe in their home and under their care, which isn’t always the case. Angela also did some leash training with him and taught him how to use their doggie door! It was a fantastic experience and I will re-book with Angela anytime I have a need for Finn. I couldn’t be happier with Angela and her sweet family! Thank you, Angela!”
“Amanda was amazing. She sent us pictures and gave us updates. Her dogs were great companions for our dogs Sid. Sid was happy when we picked him up so we know he had a good time with Amanda. She is Sid’s sitter from here on out.”
“Teri is truly the Dog Whisperer. I will never go elsewhere. Addie loves visiting/staying - which is Addie’s growling at me when it’s time to go home!! Wink!! Adore you, Teri”
“Sheri and her husband took great care of our lab while we were out of town for our wedding/honeymoon. She took Kona on many walks, and even made a point to at least play ball in the backyard when the weather turned stormy. She sent updates and photos regularly, and put our minds at ease. Will definitely use Sheri again when the need arises. ”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“Thank you so much Isaac. Looked like Emma loved playing with your sweet dogs. She came home happy. We will most definitely your your boarding services again. We appreciated all of your updates and puctures. She certainly took advantage of all your amenities. She rules our house too. Im sad to say ;) Have a great Christmas. Ann and Emma”
“Simply put, Rene was a gift. Our senior dog has multiple issues and I was nervous about leaving her for a week with a sitter. I could not have asked for a more caring, responsible and patient pet-sitter than Rene. She is a wonderful human being with a huge heart for animals.”
“Buddy loved his time at Avery's house! Avery was very communicative and sent videos/photos during his stay there. I really appreciate that she did a meet and greet beforehand and asked such thorough questions to make sure she knew as much about Buddy as she could before his stay. Buddy looks forward to his next visit with Avery and Theo!”
“Britt is very professional and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs. I definitely learned a thing or two from her! Her home and backyard are well maintained and very clean. I like that she only accepts small dogs and sends a daily picture update. I know Britt takes great care of Teddy when I am traveling, and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Kayla is just fabulous. I love the daily updates. My dogs came back soft and smelling great from her nightly brushings, and all their bedding and bowls were washed. Awesome sitter!”
“Bridget and Lou were so wonderful boarding my dog. They sent pictures and updates so we knew he was in good hands. He is normally glued to me, but when we went to pick him up he was lingering with them and ran back for one more round of pets before jumping in the car. Great people and obvious dog lovers!”
“Amber was great and I know she took wonderful care of our cat and dog. She’s worked with many animals and it’s clear that she gives a lot of structure and care to each animal. We’d love to have her watch our animals again.”
“Clay was an amazing host. He sent regular updates/pictures and was very flexible when I needed to adjust my drop-off and pickup times. Maggie and Arthur loved their stay. Will definitely be boarding with Clay again.”
“Our little dog Sammy had a great stay with Lauren! It can be a bit scary trying to find someone that you can trust to watch your furry baby, but we found that in Lauren! She is simply amazing and truly has a heart for animals. I would highly recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Harbor
I booked a sitter last minute, just one day before, and I’m so grateful I was still able to find someone who could care for Ryler. She was wonderful with him and kept me updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and texting me to let me know how he was doing. The pictures were especially reassuring because I could see that Jacx was having fun, getting plenty of attention, and being well cared for. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciate her communication, care, and kindness toward Jacx. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 🐾❤️
I had such a wonderful experience having my dog Indy cared for by Kendra! She watched Indy for 7 days at her home and provided excellent care. I really appreciated the daily updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Indy was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Indy like one of her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! 💯 💯💯
Kevin and Mandy were awesome with my little dog, Leo! We did a meet and greet where I could tell my dog felt comfortable in their space and around their cats… then during my trip, they texted me photos of naps and adventures…I was secretly worried Leo wouldn’t want to come home 😂 I could tell Leo had a blast and was in good hands. So grateful and will definitely book a Leo “vacay” again as the need arises 🙏
Haley is so great with our dog. I was nervous to leave him with someone else as he’s older and has some issues, but Haley is caring, patient and understanding. She also always sends us updates, too, which I love. Thank you for taking care of Pyro like you’re own ❤️
We had such a wonderful experience with Brianna! She boarded our two dogs for several days and went above and beyond in every way. She sent frequent update photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was incredibly attentive to all of their needs. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Brianna was accommodating, reliable, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional dog care!
Fantastic sitters/boarders with my 2 large Great Pyrenees at their home. They came back healthy, joyous, and happy and really enjoyed themselves at the doggy resort that is their home. Louis and his wife also came to my home to attend my 2 cats who were also healthy and happy upon our return. They are my first choice as long as they are available!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oak Harbor is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 of October 2026, there are 413 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.
95% 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, 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 , 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 .
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 WA 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.
