“Needed a sitter on short notice while our apartment was being fumigated, I was so grateful for Jennifer taking them in while I was at work. She's very kind, gentle, and caring, providing perfect care for both our sweet kitties. One of our cats had a bit of irritation in her eye from some dirt, and she was able to give her the eye drops we left with her. Absolutely will book her again if/when I need a sitter, you can tell how much she loves what she does.”

“Tammy was very responsive and even sent daily pictures of my girls (Helen and Heidi) to me while I was on vacation! Highly recommend to anyone in the ATL/north ATL to book with her! Thanks Tammy, -Reid”


“Yui was amazing with our pup. He had some tummy issues while we were on vacation and Yui went above and beyond to care for him, even making him chicken and rice. She was also super flexible when our travel plans got changed at the last minute. We are so grateful for her care of our dog!”

“Dahlia was so good with our 12 year old corgi/ACD. She loved him like her own and took him on so many great sniff walks. We got updated multiple times per day and never once worried about him. We will book with her again!”

“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”


“Amy was the absolute BEST! She took care of our baby girl exactly how I had hoped. She sent multiple photos and videos and helped to ease any fears that I had of leaving our puppy for the first time with someone other than family. We can’t thank her enough!”

“We left our active golden, Milo, with Gretchen and Marc while we were out of town for our wedding. They sent lots of pictures and regular updates. They also have a great yard that Milo absolutely loved. It was such a relief knowing that he was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We are so thankful we found Gretchen and Marc and would love to bring Milo back to stay with them the next time we are out of town.”

“Bailey is our go-to person for Nero! She takes excellent care of him and always keeps us updated. We are very grateful to have found someone we can trust and count on whenever we need someone to watch him. ❤️🐕🦺🐾🦴”

“Lindsay, Chris, and their family were wonderful hosts for our dog! We had such peace of mind knowing he was in their care. Their communication was excellent, and the photos they sent reassured us that he was in a loving, caring environment. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! We highly recommend them!”

“Erica was wonderful in caring for my Archie - as was her family of several children! There were several dogs in Erica’s care and that was a bonus for Archie! He came home happy and exhausted. Erica has a big heart and it is evident she enjoys the dogs in her care. Her home Is very dog friendly and her large fenced in backyard is a playground for dogs! When in the area I will certainly reach out to Erica again. Highly recommend!”

“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”

“Stephanie is awesome! It was our first time leaving Charlie. Our nerves were calmed after the meet and greet. She has a huge love for dogs and the perfect home to make him feel welcome! She was an excellent communicator & we have already booked for his next visit!! So very thankful that my friend recommended Stephanie!!!”


“Everything went perfectly as expected. They were professional, punctual, and followed all of coconut's feeding and walking schedules exactly. Coconut was well cared for and in great spirits when we got back. Highly recommend for a trustworthy and stress-free experience!”

“Jim was great sitter for my dog! He communicated and sent pictures keeping me up to dates white I was away. Bo felt very comfortable at Jim's place and made a friend with his dog Kodie! I recommend! Thanks again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and over the years I’ve gained plenty of hands on experience including looking after a family of 13 poodles at once! I specialize in small and medium dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every pup like family.😊 I’m available Monday through Friday, all day long, making it easy to fit into your pup’s routine. Whether you need morning walks, afternoon playtime, or drop-in visits throughout the day, I can provide flexible and reliable care for your furry friend. Your pup’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. I create a calm, caring environment where small and medium dogs can feel at ease and enjoy their time, while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in trusted hands. :D

About: I’ve personally been interested and training dogs since I was 10. As a young adult I worked at a dog daycare, volunteered at a dog kennel and continued to train and work my personal dogs until I joined the military. I’ve recently become a Certified Full Service Dog trainer as a veteran through the VA. I have experience working with both pet dogs and working dogs. I value integrity and helping improve both the dog and handler for future success. Excited to teach and learn for the community, hopefully expanding after! I’m currently a full time student but will still offer night walks and training sessions after class during the week. I’ll be available the full weekend for full day/ overnight drop ins, and training sessions! I have a high standard for safety and wellness. Ensuring the environment is safe and secure for the dog. Providing proper equipment for exercise, trainings, walks. Giving updates and information throughout the service.

About: 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud mom of a Cocker Spaniel. I know exactly how hard it is to leave your best friend in someone else's hands, so my goal is to give your dog the same level of love, attention, and safety they receive at home. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs and taking care after pets for friends and family. I know how to read dog body language, stick to feeding routines, and ensure they burn off enough energy to stay relaxed. 🏡 What will your dog's "vacation" at my home be like? • Constant companionship: My Cocker Spaniel is super friendly, calm and loves having visitors. Your dog will have the perfect company right from the start! • Space and exercise: We live in a house with secure backyard and our community has a private dog park and a trail where we’ll go for daily walks so they can run and socialize. • Personalized care: I strictly follow your household rules (whether they’re allowed on the sofa, meal schedules, any necessary medications, etc.). • Constant communication: I’ll send you daily photos and updates so you can see what a great time they’re having. 24/7 Supervision: I’m away from home for only a short time (I work just 5 hours a day and spend a little while at the gym). I spend the rest of the day entirely at home with the dogs. Plus, whenever I do go out, my roommate is always home, so your furry friend will always have a human nearby to cuddle and look after them, and to let them out into the backyard. I have a private, fully enclosed, and secure backyard, perfect for quick games and sunbathing. We’ll also take daily walks to our complex’s private dog park, an ideal spot for running and socializing in a controlled environment. Your dog will spend their days with Simba, my Cocker Spaniel. He is calm and friendly with other dogs. I fully respect your dog's home bedtime routine to ensure their rest isn't disrupted. The options are: • In my bed: If they’re used to sleeping snuggled up close, they are more than welcome! I love it. • In their own bed in my room: If they prefer their own space but want the comfort of being in the same room. • In their crate: If your dog sleeps in a crate for safety or training, you can bring it along, and I’ll make sure to follow that routine to the letter. • Constant attention and cuddles: Since either my roommate or I are always home, your dog will receive personalized attention, medication administration if needed, and plenty of cuddles on the sofa 🤗
“Our dog had a great time @ Richard’s. We had a great start every day with a morning wish from our pet and a short clip. We highly recommend Richard and will definitely use their services again.”

Another great stay for our fur baby. We never worry about the attention or care that she will receive when she stays with Julie. They really go above and beyond to attend to her unique personality. She gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. We never worry when she stays with Julie.

Amber was a great sitter for our dog. She was flexible when our plans changed, sent pics and updates each day, and was a pleasure to work with. She has a great home situated on a quiet side street with a nice yard. I highly recommend to anyone who wants loving care for their hound.

My house and pups were in the best hands! She went above and beyond to keep everything clean, organized, and running smoothly while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Oakwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oakwood is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 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 October 2026, there are 1,204 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oakwood. 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.
94% of sitters in Oakwood 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 Oakwood 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 Oakwood.
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 Oakwood 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 GA 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.
