“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!”
About: My partner Anthony and I have extensive pet care experience through house sitting for several families, caring for a wide variety of dogs with different needs and personalities. We've looked after dogs who require a high level of care, including administering medication, following strict routines, and maintaining consistent feeding and walking schedules. We've also cared for easy-going pets who simply need companionship, exercise, and lots of love. We pride ourselves on being attentive, reliable, and adaptable, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Erin works close to home, so she can come back and care for the dogs during the workday. I am available for boarding on weekends, depending on my schedule. We will make sure your dog is well taken care of! We have a fun, friendly, energetic dog to keep your dog company. We have a partially fenced-in yard, but I will never leave your dog outside alone. We only want to accept dogs that do well/get along with other dogs for the safety of our dog, Ozzy, and ourselves.
“Joanne watched our 2 dogs, she and her family welcome them as their own. After a negative experience at a kennel, I'm so relieved to have such a wonderful caretaker for my 2 furry guys. ”
“What a treat for our dogs. Spa resort with daily play and walks. We have never used a service to take care of our pets. Seriously pleased with Arlissa? Will definitely recomend!!”
“Rebecca was so great! My first time using Rover, and first time leaving my new puppy. She sent me an update within the hour of me leaving reassuring me he’s doing great, and I could tell when I picked him up he had a great time! Would highly recommend and will be my go-to moving forward :)”
“Catherine and Adam are a wonderful pair! They took such good care of my spoiled rotten pup. I got picture updates of him being snuggled on all weekend, and my dog was really happy at pick up. I absolutely will hire them again!”
“Loree and Jeff are two angels sent from the doggy gods! They were absolutely amazing with my shepherd Zeus. They sent lots of pictures and communicated almost instantly with all of my questions. They really treated Zeus like their own dog and spoiled him so much! I will absolutely be asking them to dog sit again, I have zero complaints!”
“Ashlee was wonderful with my dogs. She loved on them like they were her own. One was a 5-month old puppy full of energy which required extra attention. She spoiled him and bought him to baby pool as she noticed that he loved water! She also bathe and washed bedding for both dogs before I picked them up. It was so nice not having to clean them when we got home. I highly recommend her if you want a worry free vacation.”
“Karen did a wonderful job of communicating during the whole process. We truly appreciated all the pictures that she shared of our puppy while we were gone. I highly recommend her and we will definitely will be using her again.”
“Kathelyn was so sweet. She was able to take my dogs last minute and was able to handle my one dog who is a crazy ball of energy. I could tell that my dogs were happy and had fun making new friends. ***For once I wasn’t worried about leaving them.”
“This was the second time Amber has hosted Ollie for us, and just like the first time, the experience couldn't have been better. Amber took great care of Ollie. He played with and gets along well with her other dogs. He was very tired when he got home, which is an added bonus! Definitely recommend Amber K as your Rover Sitter.”
“Nate and Whitney were great with my Australian Shepherd. They kept me updated with pictures and I could tell that he was well exercised while I was away. I will definitely be contacting them again if I need to go out of town and can't take Ozzie with me!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
“Amazing dog sitter! I boarded my dog with her for a day and a night and she was great. Aubrey kept me updated on my pup and she seemed to take very well to her. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Ashley treated my pup to a great stay by taking the time to learn about him beforehand, maintaining his routines, and meeting his (often excessive) demands for belly rubs and snuggles. She provided me with updates and photos too. An overall great experience!!”
“Linda was great with my dogs. She sent pictures and videos and even let them stay an extra night after I realized I got my dates wrong. I will definitely book with her again!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Oakwood is $40

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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 481 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oakwood. About 92% of Oakwood sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
