“Once again and as always, Alyssa was great! My guy has developed some dominance/reactivity issues since his last stay, she was still perfectly willing to take him and confident in her handling. She sent me a video after his drop off to help eaise my concerns. Will definitely use her again!”
“First time with Joe. Joe did a great with our dogs. They seem to be very happy with Joe. His daily updates and pictures are very appreciated. We recommend and use his services again in future. Thanks Joe.”
“Sydney and I both luv Joanne and her entire family -- definitely a dog-friendly home with a fenced back yard and lots of hands to scratch ears :-) We're already re-booked for Thanksgiving!”
“Can’t thank Minty enough for taking care of Millie when we were gone out of town. Millie was completely pampered, just had a blast. Minty kept me fully updated with pics and messages throughout. Will definitely use her services again & again in future!”
“Arlissa was excellent!!! Kept me informed throughout my pups stay. Sent me professional videos and pictures. I was a little on the fence about this app and leaving my dog with a stranger, but would I definitely recommend her for sure!!!!!”
“Marlie absolutely loves going to Amber’s. They take such good care of her. She gets so many walks, snuggles and extra special attention. Thank you so much for being home away from home for our girl.”
“Karin has been amazing with Sage, me and my husband went on a 7 day trip for our honeymoon and we decided to leave Sage with Karin. We have never tried anything like this before and normally we went to a boarding facility but decided to try something new for Sage. Best decision we ever made. Numerous amounts of updates, photos and videos, a lot of reassurance, she’s flexible and understanding and she’s has been gentle and loving with Sage as well. We were worried Sage would be too much, but he fit right in. We definitely recommend her and we will 100% be coming back to her for future play dates and boarding! Thank you so much Karin!”
“Dogs had a great time, we loved getting pictures of them while we were away and had peace of mind with their fenced in yard. Grateful they took such good care of our dogs!”
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Carly and her husband took such wonderful care of my pup! He is a ball of energy but that didn’t seem to bother them one bit. I felt at ease knowing wally was in good hands while I was on vacation, and I received plenty of pictures to get me through my week without him. I’m so thankful for the attention and care they gave wally, and I know he appreciated the play time with Carly’s beagle, willow. I returned to one healthy and happy pup!!”
“Paige was excellent and Sadie seemed to enjoy her stay. I received consistent updates, photos, and responses. I would recommend Paige and will use them as my preferred sitter going forward.”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“Jenna is awesome with my pup - my puppy always comes home exhausted (in the best way) and always has so much fun. Jenna gives great updates with lots of pictures. I know that my dog is well taken care of when she is there!”
“Niella’s family and her two dogs wore our high-energy pup out, she was schlumped for two days after we picked her up! Niella gave us updates throughout the 4-day stay and was very responsive. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter!”
“I am so thankful to have found Karen through Rover! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! She watched my goldens over a long weekend, and they were VERY well taken care of. Karen was very accommodating with our drop off & pick up schedule times. I loved receiving photos, and regular updates during the stay. Karen truly is the best. I would absolutely recommend her, and we look forward to booking Fry & Emma’s next stay with her!”
“My pups were so well loved and happy! I highly recommend Tara! She is very intentional about the care she provides, listening to care instructions and ensuring they’re implemented. Lucky dogs ( or cats) who get her care!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Kate was great about sending pictures and letting us know how our Memphis was doing. He must have had so much fun with her kids and their dog as he slept for what seemed like 3 days straight after he got home. :) Thank you for taking such good care of him!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
Alysia is a great sitter for our pup Max! She was very careful and considerate when we first introduced him to her dogs, and they all play well together. Max comes home tired and happy! She's responsive and always sends photos and updates. We feel very comfortable trusting her with watching our boy!
Kathelyn was great with my pups. It was a last minute booking and she and her husband were amazing. She sent photos and a video. My small dog sometimes takes time to warm up to people but he seemed to do just fine. She was very responsive to my messages. I would definitely use her again if we come back to Dayton again!
Laurie and Jeff took such great care of Maggie while I was away. She had some digestive problems which they took care of with a temporary diet change to chicken and rice. Jeff taught her to "shake" ...Who says you can't teach an old dog (9 yrs) new tricks? In many of the pictures they sent she seemed to be "smiling" I was informed every 1-2 days of how Maggie's day was going, with pictures accompanying the messages. I recommend Loree and Jeff highly.
Isla had a great stay with Rebecca and her family. We have only used one dog sitter with our dog and they were not available so I was concerned how Isla would do with other dogs, but she loved running around with their dogs. Rebecca is truly a pet lover and was super with our dog, can’t recommend her enough.
Joe was great! He has a really nice yard for play and Bo loved his new friends. We were gone for 9 days but he came home so calm and restful, he typically is pretty anxious. We also appreciated there weren’t too many other dogs being boarded at the same time. We were lucky to find someone like Joe so close to our trip and the holiday after our first boarder backed out. We will definitely be using Joe again!
Juneau had a GREAT time with Pietro & his 2 dogs. He really enjoyed the continuation of his daily walks we provide at home. Pietro sent photos of Juneau getting exercise and relaxing. He looked very comfortable in his temporary home while we were on vacation. Thanks for taking such care of him!
Jacqueline was really good with Duke. Responded super fast and gave multiple updates each day! I will definitely have her become a designator sitter for my puppy! We were so worried about leaving him with a sitter but Jacqueline was very responsive which allowed my worries to go away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oakwood on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 475 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
89% of Oakwood sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Oakwood landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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 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.
